| So recently I recommended an acquaintance of mine Steins;Gate telling him that it was one of the best anime I have ever watched and he contacted me back after a day extremely pissed saying that I had shit taste. I know that not everyone is fond of Steins;Gate but for a person that thinks Terraformars is a masterpiece to say I have shit taste for liking Steins;Gate completely threw me off. Anyways back to the topic did anyone here have a similar experience? |
 |
| Did he actually watch it before calling you out for having shit taste? And yep, I had the same thing happen. I got my brother to watch Mirai Nikki cause I was obsessed with it (at the time, anyway. I still like it, but defs not as much as I first did after finishing it). I got him to watch it and he hated it and now believes that I have the shittiest taste in the world and now refuses to watch anything I ask him to. Whatever, his loss. |
 |
| Nah, my friends are pretty casual so recommending them stuff is pretty easy. My brother recommended me Tenjou Tenge though and it is horrible. |
| Is this not simply how people talk to each other nowadays. They didn't like it. Get over it. |
| My cousin recommended me Honey and Clover but I dropped it halfway through (episode 18) because I found it hard to follow the different characters' stories. I later recommended him Non Non Biyori and he hasn't even started it. I recommended him Hal and he really liked it. |
  |
| I haven't yet, but I do recommend people things and I wouldn't be surprised if someone ends up not liking something I recommended. Honestly sometimes I just want to troll every recommendation thread with "watch Kurobas". |
 |
| Your avatar confirms that you have shit taste. |
| A recommendation is usually an evaluation of quality, not evaluation of suitability for a given viewer. Also, people are very different, sometimes surprisingly different. It's inevitable, I'd say. |

It's inevitable, I'd say. What? On MAL at least I usually see people recommending things that they think will fit with the OP's tastes, or at least from what they wrote in the thread. |

Recommendation threads on MAL forums are different from recommendation in MAL's anime description and both are different from recommending your friend some anime to watch. I was talking about the later. |
| My friend judges anime based on the name so I don't bother recommending them stuff anymore. |
| Kill him Time travel animu is cereal business Anyway When I had anime-watching friends we didn't really recommend each other anything but just talked about whatever The in thing was Fairy Tail then Back when it was just a generic shonen, not Natsu beats everyone with friendship power ups and Lucy (and every other female) is just a pair of anime tiddies. Pretty casual shit |
| I recommended Kaiji to a friend once and he dropped it after like 4 eps, I cried for a week. |
idk why I was here but I'm prob back to playing Dragon's Dogma 2 again when you read this |
| While it was airing,,i recommended parasyte to a friend and he said it was shitty.but after it ended he told me thanks it was really enjoyable.i was confused but whatever.the only good explanation is that he lied to me and didn't check it out at first. my brother told me to check out aldnoah zero and that it was the best anime ever.while the first season was somewhat average.the second one was complete bullshit. But yeah what would you expect from a 13 yrs old with shit taste and who fangasms about every little thing that happens in fairy tail. |
| Your friend is clearly an idiot. Even if he doesn't like the show, he doesn't need to have a go at you for recommending to him an anime that most people (including yourself) find enjoyable. He sounds like a prick and probably needs a good smack. |
 |
| I've never had a backlash over recommending an anime to my friend. But there's a few he dropped because it just wasn't his thing. |
| did he watch whole steins;gate or only first episodes? because begining realy sucks only later it becomes better.. well anyway its difficult to recommend anime for another person i always try to mention bad parts of anime so never did get complaints |
| Eh, I don't even try to recommend stuff if someone has quite different taste compared to mine. |

 All credit goes to Sacred. |

 |
| Never happened to me, lol. I gave some recommendations that people disliked but to get insulted for that? lol that sucks |
 |
| #justweebproblems |
| Twitter and it's consequences had been a disaster for the human race |
| Nope |

Paella_ said: #justweebproblems |
| No, that never happened to me, but the people who ask me know that my taste and theirs is different and theyre not stupid enough to blame or label me for that. |
G_Spark233 said: First world problems I have never recomend any anime to anybody (apart of the recomendations that I made in MAL), so I never had this problem. |
 |
| Nope. Cuz I don't recommend people anime. |
| Some people just can't appreciate anime that require some thinking. |

omfgplzstop said: KaiserNazrin said: Some people just can't appreciate anime that require some thinking. It's not really about thinking. Some people just like ONE type of show or can't really appreciate characters, a complex story or anything. They just watch shit that looks/feels cool like TG and fucking terraformars and praise them because they're mature and edgy. It's annoying, but there isn't much you can do about it. You can always not give a fuck, that one works wonders. |
 "One must die and one must live. No victory, no defeat. The survivor will carry on the fight. It is our destiny... The one who survives will inherit the title of Boss. And the one who inherits the title of Boss will face an existence of endless battle." |
| Not really. Whenever I recommend an anime to my friends, I'll tell them why I liked it, give them a brief synopsis without spoiling anything and try to be fair about recommending it "You might not necessarily like it, but I really enjoyed it, so give it a try anyway". So they know beforehand what to expect, and they don't have any grounds to badmouth me for it. Not that badmouthing me for it would be in any way justified in the first place. If you get major backlash for sharing your interests, then you need better friends. Or less narrow-minded ones. |
 It's an entirely different kind of flying, altogether! It's an entirely different kind of flying. |
| I don't think anyone has gotten pissed at me over a reccomend action I've given but there is this annoying thing where I'll reccomend them one of my favorite anime and they'll immediately disregard it because it's too old or the art isn't traditional anime art. |

|
| Happened with Bebop. Friend A: This show is shit, there was an episode where everyone was just taking about some videotape and another one about mold in a fridge. Me: Bro just keep watching and actually watch from beginning to end don't just watch random episodes. |
 |
| One of the best anime and you haven't it in your favorites... Not all can appreciate slow-paced anime,if you don't know very well his anime's taste,stains gate wasn't the smartest choice. |
| Unless your a perv or a Yuri fanatic, your probably not gonna like what I recommend... |

| Well, the first few episodes are a bit weird yes, and it's slow paced. So he probably didn't see it until the end. I'm one of the few that did not enjoy Steins;Gate so much, however, it is not exceptionally BAD. |
| Do not confuse hype with recommendation. |
