I just want to tell you that is a bad example because if you still stand by your opinion with a gun pointed to your head you might be shot or worse.

If someone did that to me over a anime show, I'd just lie and say "yeah Naruto is pretty great, lets be friends and let me get on my way outta here bro."

I know your exaggerating but just saying.


NEVER!!! I would rather take that gun and shoot myself instead of ever having anything positive come out of my mouth about Naruto!!!

Nah, I'm just kiddin. But what kind of a person would shoot someone over an anime?!

Example scenario-
Gunman: Say that you like SAO or else!!!
Victim: But, but. That show is so overrated.....

BANG!!!
You forgot the part where the gunman is drooling and is screaming 'Khaosman-san! Khaosman-san!!! Khaosman-san!!!!!!'

There was no ebola epidemic in Sudan, which is the country he resides in according to his mal account.

Yup, no ebola in Sudan


Well maybe there is now. I mean Ebola outbreak was in western Africa, but that doesn't mean that Ebola can't spread.

I think suicide after Naruto's end is more plausible.

Yep, mal is a huge circlejerk

Some dude made a long blog about "why code geass is terrible"? People believe him even though basically the entirety of his blog is bullshit

People "didn't get" an anime? They proceed to call it "pretentious" and try to rip it of all it's value. This is as stupid as movie buffs saying that something like "kubrick is pretentious his movies are terrible"

You think fate aint shit and it's just a medicore porn game adaptation? Get harassed by the priests


At the end you only have a couple of lowest common denominator anime which are respected like logh, fmab, mushishi and shinsekai yori. This means that people get inclined to like anime with a serious tone no matter how actually good it is so they don't get lynched on the boards by stupid close-minded nerds who don't know what they are talking about

Also while I'm putting up my old posts, I might as well say that Inferno Cop is probably the worst thing I've ever watched in anime history, barring close to the terribleness of Elfen Lied's mindless violence.

Wow, look cardboard boxed shaped characters with spectacular monotonous voice actors with Male VA's taking up female character roles.

If I didn't know any better I thought all those people who gave it a 10/10 in the reviews were joking, oh but sadly they weren't. Of course if I bring this up I am clearly not understanding the anime because it is "2deepforu." Then of course I get bullied for not liking a masterpiece that Inferno Cop is.

Only on MAL can you find this amount of concentrated shit boasted as AOTY. Even /a/ doesn't go that far.

So is MAL a huge circle jerk for people who have nowhere else to go to boast about their shit anime being good? I say yes.

I'm not sure what you were expecting from an ONA produced by some of the people behind TTGL and Panty and Stocking. Its an extremely stupid, over the top, and self aware parody of the anime medium as a whole. Is it a 10/10 masterpiece? God no, but I thought it was one of the funniest series I've ever watched, anime or otherwise.

I still don't understand how it is good, I'm sorry but I don't.

I can make a reasoned based argument on why I don't like it, but then I would just be nitpicking on it.

Do I consider it funny? Yes. That's why I didn't give it a 1.

Is it anything more than just a poor attempt at comedy in anime form? No. Hence why I gave it a score of less than 4.


'I don't get why people enjoy it so it must be objectively bad'. Combined with your Twintail comment I'm just gonna put you in the troll/bait corner where I can ignore you for the rest of my life.

Yeah but you can't deny people of certain fanbases (one piece, naruto) get more sensitive,

Maybe yeah, but that's also because they have a way bigger fanbase than other shows. The bigger the fanbase the higher the chance of having fanboys and you also see them more ofcourse that's why they have a bad rep. You'll always remember the fanboys praising their show, and not the other part of the fanbase who can actually argue about stuff


When It's the "majority" it doesn't matter how big the fanbase is. Be it 6 thousand or 6 million, most of the ones encountered still suck ass, the likelihood of meeting one is very high.

And even then size is hardly a factor. SnK's fanbase currently dwarves that of One Piece and Naruto combined yet they are never this obnoxious.

SAO and Fate/Stay as well.

I guess peer pressure does exist here but i agree with RinPriest's point. There is no brainwashing at least in my opinion here on mal simply because it is not possible to change a person's taste in anime just by random texts in forums across the internet imo.

Peer pressure here on mal however is quite bad. I see several people assaulted by the fanboys for voicing their options on what they thought about a particular show. For example if someone thinks an episode is boring fanboys say all kinds of things ranging from "it is necessary for character development" to "you must be a naruto or SAO fan" what most of the fans fail to realize is that different people have different tastes that they must learn to respect and not everyone is as emotionally invested in a character like they are. However there will always be fanboys there is nothing you can do about it.

Also the banishing from the website thing. Does that really happen? That is really hard to believe

How do you mean? There are permabans, but aside from that I can't really think of anything. Sure, there was the Pooka incident when he announced half a dozen times he would leave MAL and never come back, but it's not really a banishment if people leave out of their own volition.

I was referring to the first post:
"If someone says something about fma ,fate stay,mushishi, one piece, berserk etc... they go crazy and begin to insult and harass you until you agree with them. if you don't they form groups to try and banish you from the site"

>who have nowhere else to go to
Yep. That's the current problem.
A while ago, GAIA used to hold the underage cancer and the "ayy lmao lulz xD" kind of users. With its inevitable and premeditated death, those migrated here. If that wasn't enough, some LEDDITORS :^) also come here to create massive shitstorms on why KLK is AOTMillennium, and to put the cherry on the cake, all the turds who got bullied on /a/ for being completely morons also ends up here. There you have your complete ignorance to the rules, duplicated-triplicated-quadruplicated threads, the lack of board culture, TUMBLR MEMES and all this crap.
MAL is like End of Eva, with the exception we're not a pool of TANG ...not yet.

in the time it takes to write a post complaining about how bad mal's community is you could write a post that could help to improve it

forums are a reflection of yourself. if you contribute shit the forums will become shit.

Thread Locked.

After looking through the pages, only a partial of the discussion would be worth keeping, while 80% of it is spam and people calling out another user (By stating their name) and otherwise potentially baiting them. This thread will not be unlocked.
