And that is fine, but I think anime should achieve the same amount of professionalism in that regard. I think it would suck if every series would be a high quality series from a critical perspective. Variety is important. My point is that anime is an entertainment and not an art industry! Also the word flawed is completely wrong used here! |

Well, not everything CAN be good. It's an illusion to think every series can be like Game of Thrones or Breaking Bad... however, the average quality could be a lot higher. Look at US TV drama series. Shows like GoT are rare exceptions, but the usual quality for sucessful titles is pretty damn high in recent years which is why it is praised worldwide. On the other hand, Japanese anime and German TV share a sad connection by being way too focussed on itself and thus repeating the same stuff over and over again with decreased quality. They make money of course... with the same audience while everybody else turned away. I get we want anime to be different because it is not our primary cultural circle, but that's just how it is and I think everyone would profit more if there were more shows like Space Brothers, Chihayafuru or even The World God Only Knows, etc. And entertainment is ALWAYS art as well. Stop seperating them. And whos aid quality is only present in a few genres? Even a harem can be decent like TWGOK showed (or Monogatari to an extent). |

Of course a lot of shitflinging is involved there as well, but at least there is a very active critical minority present. I wish this would be the case for certain subgenres here as well. |

Believe me, I would be extremely happy to see another series like Ef - a tale of melodies! I was pretty disappointed to see not even one promising drama romance series this season. But that's not a reason to blame all those new harem-rom-coms for it ;) btw: Kaminomi could be considered a low quality series from a critical perspective too ;) Not sayin I didn't like it though :) |
| Domo domo! Kami desu :D |
| YES YES YES. Thank you Fujimi Shobo. Edgy harems, tragic pasts, guns blazing ? Count me in ! Still, makes me wonder if they will animate all that gory scenes. So, we have this and Heroine for probably the fall/winter seasons. Guess Otaria and Rising x Rydeen will be left to late 2015, if they ever are choosen. |

| KamiNomi is not exactly high literature, sure. But it is fairly well-written for trivial stuff and - except for the last arc - has good pacing, framing, etc. Even trivial art/entertainment can be very good from a critical perspective - like the first Die Hard movie, for example. Or the first Terminator movies. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| So if I get everything right you can like whatever you want as long as you don't get more of the stuff you like because I want more stuff of what I like that you don't. Damn, we got a problem on our hands here. |

Or the first Terminator movies. and that's my point ;) even the most stupid series can be somehow high quality! okay that was a bit exaggerated :3 high quality isn't something specific - it can differ from movie to movie and from series to series. And Enjoyment is a quality too so if a series is extremely enjoyable than it is high quality too at least from the enjoyment perspective! and something that is high quality in some aspects can't be completely flawed ;) or for example do you know byousoku 5 centimeter? from some perspectives it's lame and has a bad plot but from another perspective it's an extremely beautifull piece of art ;) or back to entertainment: in my opinion the second monogatari season was much more enjoyable than bakemonogatari but most people say that bake is better because the second season goes into a entertainmentonly direction. i have to say that it's true but I still think that the second season is better - just in other aspects! :) Also from your previous comments it looks like you aren't very fond of the quality of OreImo. I have to say that OreImo is stupid in several ways but I had an excellent time watchin it so in my opinion it's a good series at least from the entertainment aspect :) I think you get what I mean :D |

Why else would you be watching something in the first place if it isn't enjoyable?I can prove it by analyzing the structure, writing style, framing, characterization, etc. using contemporary methods accepted in literary criticism. We can debate about this, but the weight of such an opinion backed by these facts and theories weights far more in a critical discourse than a simple "I enjoy it and this is my opinion!!11". And sadly, I never saw any analysis about these LN that were very favourable under these terms... But who knows, maybe your analysis of Ore no Imouto shows how it is a work of fine literature that can be compared to Nabokov's Lolita :D |

On-Topic ; I've been waiting for this~ enjoyed reading the LN, but not so much with the manga's tho', it's kinda bland? Hopes a good studio and a good director pick it up~ which would be a deciding factor, either it'll be enjoyable or a chore to watch. that's seems the case with most anime adaption for me~ the most recent WCW and Arpeggio are fun to 'watch', but reading the manga doesnt give the same enjoyment. [ In this case I've read WCW manga first before the anime ; whilst Arpeggio is the opposite , so its probably not about 'being spoiled' by the other material ] Will wait for further news update i guess~. |

And it annoys the hell of me that people consider their opinions to be facts. But enjoyment does not equal quality, that's not even something up to debate. Enjoyment is a fully subjective subject, an individual can enjoy a show while another may loathe the same show. It is distinct to everyone. Quality is something that is much more objective. Even though I agree that it is impossible for a human to perfectly judge the quality of something as complex as an anime, I believe that by following standards acknowledged by the world we can reach a near perfect evaluation of a work's quality. Of course putting a global ratting on an anime would be hardly representative of a show's quality so we'll have to evaluate every component from an anime and rate them in different aspects. Quality in it's truest sense is something that is superior to the average of what it is compared to. Now, while it is easy to compare purely objective matters such as the animation of different anime, it is much complex to compare some others aspect of an anime such as the story or the soundtrack. In the end the most accurate way to evaluate such troublesome aspect is to verify how well they serve their intended purposes. I'll take Oreimo's story as an example since it became a classic case in the last few years. It would be wrong to evaluate it while comparing it to completely different type of novel such as Spice and Wolf because they got almost nothing in common right? Every work have only one thing in common and it is a purpose, therefore it is the only way to make a serious evaluation of a story's quality. While there are more objective way to evaluate the form of a work (quality of writing, figure of speech, how the story was planned, does it have contradictions? , etc.) there is hardly anything more meaningful than 'purpose' for a fair comparison. Returning to Oreimo, to evaluate it's story quality we should wonder about the purpose behind it. It is a book aimed at a certain niche public and obviously not aimed for the general public. It is a book that was extremely well received by this said public so it is a commercial success. Still evaluating a work's quality on it's commercial success alone wouldn't be a great idea. That's why we would need to divide the story in even smaller parts and verify how these parts serves their intended purpose as well. In short everyone would agree with me that evaluating a story is a lot of works but it is a finite task that can be achieved. Now even if I say 'quality', 'quality' is only something that is established by our society's standard and it evolve with time but it is definitively possible to assert a work's quality in a given period of time even if it is a tremendous ordeal. Now there are a lot of shows I like that are actually pretty bad and vice versa. If humans were made to seek what is objectively the best then we would all like the same thing, individualism is a beautiful thing but we shouldn't be so fast at rejecting the objective value of what we like just because it is based on our society's standard. After all someone who reject his own society is someone that shouldn't profit from it. Oh well I ended up writing a small essay. My posts often tend to get out of control when I start writing. TL;DR Like what you like but it's not up to you to decide quality. It is perfectly normal not to like what is the best since in the end we do not like something for what it is but for it's flaws. |

While I agree that enjoyment and quality aren't the same thing, you're in the wrong in believing that you can even become remotely close of being objective while judging quality. Just like enjoyment, judging quality is an act completely subjective. you can take all the time you want to consider every single part of what composed the show before concluding, take in consideration the purpose of the work (and by doing that you'll be indeed the closest possible of being objective, on that I agree) it won't change a damn thing in the end. Your evaluation will be completely subjective. Why? For several reasons. One of them being that no matter how much you try, the weighting of all items used in your evaluation will vary from person to person. Even if you make that weighting vary depending on the show's purpose (on which I agree to do), the final decision for each item's weight in the overal rating will be personal. And completely subjective. Same goes for the list of items you consider. Do you regroup item X with item Y in you evaluation or not. Like evaluation music and voice acting separately or not. Animation and graphism/background details. Plot and character development. And so on. Depending on how much value you put in each that decision will vary. And the more you try to be detailed in the notation, the worse it gets by introducing decisions on sub-items. So this CANNOT be solved objectively. And obviously, deciding to have all items with the same weight (like 10 pts for each of the 10 item list" ) is even further away of being objective and is a subjective decision in itself. Consensus about each item's weight as well as the list of considered item won't make you closer of being objective either. This is, after all, just the majority's opinion, and the majority's taste don't (and by far) equal objectivity. The problem of some persons here (and in other places as well, obviously) is that they are being delusional about being able to judge a work objectively just by thinking enough about it. That's not possible. Those people should get over it already and stop looking down on every things that they don't approve of as if it was an absolute fact that it's bad. |

Shangetsu said: [ But enjoyment does not equal quality, that's not even something up to debate. Like I said, thats my opinion. Quality and entertainment being seperate implies that a quality can be objective. Which is false. If a show is not enjoyable? how can it be good? The quality of entertainment(anime, in this case) is decided by how enjoyable. You're free to disagree and all, but this is something I know i'm not wrong about. Like what you like but it's not up to you to decide quality. It is perfectly normal not to like what is the best since in the end we do not like something for what it is but for it's flaws. Saying this just makes you sound ridiculously arrogant. If I don't like something, then in my opinion, it can't be the best. This is common sense.

This is common sense. Who the hell would praise a show they don't even enjoy/like? One of my ex-girlfriends HATED Casablanca with a passion, yet she admitted it was one of the most influental and best romance movies of all time. Scientists usually try to seperate their personal opinion and analyze a specific subject, relation or whatever as critical as possible. I personally greatly dislike Shingeki and Psychopass, yet gave them both 7/10 because I think they are very well crafted in aspects. Lots of people irl I know seperate their OPINION from a more critical perspective, or at least aknowledge the validity of this approach. In that sense, people who priorize enjoyment over everything are the ones who are narrowminded and anti-intellectual.

You echo what I said earlier and since we are on that topic I must say that, even though we almost always disagree on the evaluation of certain series like Guilty Crown, the discussions were more interesting than all the tons of ad hominem users like the ones you mentioned throw around. At least we try to discuss arguments, however heated they might become in the process. rederoin said: Making fun of light novels he hasn't read* I try to read at least the first few chapters of every LN/manga that get an adaption announced. I also read the first Twilight books (The romance is actually better than SAO) and always watch at least one or two episodes of an adaption before dropping it. I give it a chance to impress me. However, my patience with literature is way smaller than my patience with manga or anime because I HATE bad literature. And sadly, most LN are exactly that. And it's not like you cannot judge LN by their cover 90% of the time, that's exactly the problem: The way too obvious pandering. The fact that I CAN judge them by their cover and be somewhat correct most of the time is the main problem. Or selling point, if you are really in need for some ego stroking through pulp fiction. |

| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| A little late but.. You can like what you like people, just don't raise it some god-like standard and dismiss any and all constructive criticism as "trolling". If MAL users were a little more open minded, we'd have a far more civil place to foster worthwhile discussion that leads to a better appreciation of anime as a whole instead of the constant circlejerking that far too often occurs especially when it comes to LNs. NOTHING is without flaw, even series of high quality. Perfection is a purely Utopian ideal while we can all work to strive for it, it will be forever out of our collective reach. But just because something is heavily flawed, does not mean that somebody out there can not find it enjoyable. On-Topic: May not watch, we'll see. |
