... We talking about the same Macross where women usually hold high-ranking positions, are confident, and are more well-liked than their male counterparts?

I'm talking about 80-s Macross. Okay so we have a higher rank women makes it non-misogynist? Okay let's go deeper.

-The protag won't obey his commander just because she is a female? check.
-Minmay depicted as a weak girl who suddenly falls in love with that guy because trapped together? check.
-Even the commander then become a weak person towards Hikaru and turned liking him, the guy who disobeying her for being a female? check.
-Hikaru slapped Minmay his former 'lover' for not wanting to help him after he make her so much heartbroken? check.
-Meltrandi extinct but Zentradi isn't? check.

You can argue that it's specifically Hikaru who is sexist, not the show.
And the way I remember it, both genders of aliens survived. There were some giants working on Earth as it was rebuilt, and by Macross 7 there was at least one giantess in the cast.

But let's not fool ourselves - the show is sexist. The main question is - was the show sexist for its time (it's about 30 years old now)? I don't know.

The End of Evangelion. Taking psychological anime with cathartic end and making the shit out of it? WTF, why? Yes, yes, we've got that you, Anno, has been fed up with all this ridiculous "fans" and decided to fuck/troll them. And it would be 0K if not for your all-typical Japanese social cowardice when later you revoked it and claimed "it's all been a plan from the start". Same story as with Nasu and "Tsukihime" in regards of "Kara no Kyoukai".

Could you explain what you meant about Tsukihime and Kara no Kyoukai? As a fan of type-moon, I feel that there is something I do not know here.

In one of the earliest interviews he admitted that he basically remade than-unsuccessful KnK into much more fanservice'y "Tsukihime" but later denied it and started saying that it's all been a part of initial plan. Yes, it's understandable by Japanese standards, because his earlier statement basically says "you fans didn't understand/you're stupid", and you can't shit on society in Japan (unless you're Myadzaki the Saint, and even he still sucking up to fans, he's just too tsundere to admit it), but still.

Well, it's obvious Tsukihime was made to be more saleable, and he could only print Kara no Kyoukai after he got famous. I would not call Tsukihime a remake of KnK in any way, though - it's way too different.

If something gives a bad name is based on how the consumers are represented. Do people receive pop fans as fat hikkikomori with pillows? no. But they do so with anime consumer. Why? Because of all the echi merchandises and otakus without a life.

Not saying that all anime fans are so or all people receive things like that but echi does give anime a bad name (generally). What is about explaining why is doesn't instead of using an example? That can get accepted by others much easier. ;)

I'm not responsible for the anime fans' public image. You are not responsible for it too. And the authors aren't responsible for that.
Nobody has to care about such trivial things. What we really need is anti-discrimination laws, so that that "public" would not be able to do anything to us no matter our public image.

Also, I'm sure no muggle has any idea what body pillow even is. Neither fo they know about hikkikomori. Because they're muggles.

can't agrue with that, and i kinda agree too even tho i'm a fan of it.
ecchi gives anime a bad name because most people think anime is for kids. anime is kids show, but in this age, in this era, anime is not for kids only or more like kids shouldn't watch anime imo, it's too dangerous. need to pass 17 or 14 too watch anime or need to know what's good and what's bad.

because we, most people don't want the viewer get over sexualized by the ecchi and start assault girls IRL.

Many people who are afraid of the unknown prefer to live a cozy and safe life in their comfort zone, some are willing to risk a whole lot to discover more. Both are represented in Haibane Renmei, so you really shouldn't be saying that it "is against everything I stand for".
What the Wall represents is based on what you think Glie ultimately is for you.

Wait, what?
Stop underestimating children, damnit. I could tell right from wrong even before I entered elementary school.

What we need is to make people aware that there are different kinds of anime. For girls and for boys, for old and for young...
And plenty of them are indeed intended for children, without any of those boring things like love and romance.

Well, Type-Moon obviously re-used a lot of stuff from Kara no Kyoukai, that's for sure. They probably didn't expect to need it any more.
Due to my background (tabletop RPG gamemaster) I respect that.

How about you open your eyes when you watch an anime? That would help.

I see. So it gets even worse as the show goes on, and the town turns to be actively anti-knowledge. That's unforgivable.

We don't even know if there is knowledge to be had to begin with.

The law won't help the way of human thinking. Even if that exist, they will still see anime as a bad thing. They don't need to know what these terms actually mean. Show for example them this:

What are these things called? They don't know but they are sure that they don't want to end up like that, which is received as lifeless sunken in fantasy lonely nerd.

@kamisama751 i didn't say anime in 80s/90s was made only for kids. there are anime for kids and there are anime for adults or teens too.

What? Echi actually/mostly gives the first impression that anime are animated porn.

yeah....that's what i said, isn't it ?
most people see anime as a kids show, why ? because it's cartoon/animated because most anime that are being shown in TV are something like kids show, Doraemon for example. so obvious people would think it's just a kids show. but if you go deep inside more into anime, then you will first most likely find something that is called ecchi in anime. they change their opinion towards anime and think anime is porn. and they will badmouth anime just because of ecchi even tho anime is just an animation, not real.
let's make it simple, the outside wall layer of anime is Ecchi.

just gonna be honest, i was searching for porn long time ago, and i found a name, it was oni chichi (hentai), then i tried to seach it on google, that was where i found anime called Papa no iukoto wo kikinasai. LMAO i thought that was hentai, so i watched it. surprisingly i got addicted to the first episode and tried to watch more, LOL it became my fav. and that's how i got into anime. i got into anime because of hentai LOL.

^
just saying btw.

either anime is bad or good is just an opinion. but logicaly anime is indeed bad for kids (because of ecchi) and maybe even a guy (if the person get over sexualized is obvious a bad thing. it can cause rape IRL,etc) but if anime industry can do something to avoid kids to watch anime, and if the viewer know what's bad and what's good, basically still sane and can hold their own sexual desire, there will be no problem with anime anymore, right ?

1) Don't assume things if you didn't even bother finishing the anime beforehand then. :) Glie is the name of the town.
2) "it was only good for wasting another life there" For the Haibane it is the total opposite actually.
"What's the meaning in life that does not advance knowledge?" You don't necessarily need to be extremely knowledgeable to live a fulfilling life, many people prefer to live a very simple life rather than the opposite, which is actually fitting considering the fact that the Haibane live very short lives. Even then, the "knowledge" aspect is present in the form of legacy and culture Glie is built around.
"and technology?" This aspect might indeed be restricted by the Tougas (the people who bring goods from beyond the walls) to avoid things to get out of hands. It's obvious that the most important reason Glie exists, and perhaps the only reason it exists, is for the Haibane, so it's better to keep things as simple as possible to allow the Haibane to find salvation more efficiently. One thing I noticed is that the technology there has interesting gaps (no telephone system for example). But they have music players and headphones and electric lights and internal combustion engines.
3) Indeed it is, I shouldn't have told you that, I'm sorry.

You also have to realize that Glie definitely isn't your normal and average town. Glie is a timeless and hermetically sealed simulation of a place where humans and most importantly Haibane can thrive. It's an artificial bubble. And the main purpose of its existence is far greater than any other random town you would find on Earth.

It's also important to acknowledge that Haibane Renmei mainly is a philosophical and contemplative work, not a psychological one (even though that aspect is still present). And even though the presence of the humans is justified, the Haibane are the main focus of the show.

And one last thing, just because an anime shows something doesn't mean it is the absolute truth one must follow (or something of the sort). In fact, Haibane Renmei is never preachy about anything at all, and after observing the way the characters react to what Glie is and what it might represent for them, it is fairly easy to see that there is no such thing as "the ultimate truth" in this anime.
Some accept Glie for what it is, others don't. Some think the Wall is here to protect them, others think it is here to imprison them.
Apparently you, yourself, seem to hate both the town and the Wall, it goes to show you that the anime managed to make you think, and worked wonderfully as a contemplative work. That's why you shouldn't hold a grudge against Haibane Renmei, because what you felt while watching this anime came from inside you and the show was able to trigger that reaction.

I'm actually glad I found someone like you who seems to loathe both the Wall and the town, it's a very interesting approach. And it shows who you really are and what ideas you stand for, I wholeheartedly prefer talking about Haibane Renmei with someone like you rather than with people who just say: "it was good or bad" but don't even know why or can only give technical reasons (especially if you consider how well this anime is executed), subjective reasoning is what really is interesting with Haibane Renmei.

I may or may not get my shit tossed for dissing an anime that's held in high regard, but here goes...

Your Lie in April, because it tried to victimize 12-year-olds then turn them into philosophers. Seriously how do you even think of 12-year-olds spouting life-lessons nonsense?

The writer victimized the characters using cheap tricks such as mental trauma, parental abuse, terminal illness (which are nothing new or convincing) but I can't even see them as victims because they were so entitled on basically every other aspects of life (Kousei was super wealthy, Kaori were upperclass-ish, with parental and friends' support, went to good school, had guidance from teachers and such).

On the psychological level, nothing made sense especially how Kousei's trauma was dealt with, or how he lived with his trauma, or the trauma itself. The more I study psychology the more I'm convinced that the writer knows absolutely nothing about how the human mind works, and that he arbitrarily decided how Kousei acts for the sake of melodrama, disgusting slapstick comedy. You don't get rid of someone's trauma by forcing him to relive his trauma, that's how he gets nervous breakdowns and commit suicide (or goes on a murderous rampage).

Another thing I truly despised is how the writer simply disregarded Kousei's father's existence by saying "he's busy with work". You have a wife who died and left behind a physically, mentally damaged kid who's traumatized for life, but hey you know, gotta make those $$$ and get promoted. This is an epitome of horrible and lazy writing that utterly ruined a potentially good story.

In all, Your lie in April is the antithesis of all anime of mine.

OMG thank you so much for this ! I'm no psychology student, but seriously I think it's really common sense that you don't cure someone's trauma by forcing someone to go through it all over again ! I cringed through most of the series.

most "creative" arguement ive seen against ecchi can still be used against many other elements in anime

"if im watching in public" i wouldn't want people to see my sceen during an ecchi moment"

like that can't be said about the violence, and the slapstick

but still that can easily be avoided, by not watching anime in public >.>

"Porn". on every people's view, obvious, the word of "Porn" is not a good thing, and logicaly it gives a bad effect for humans brain or hormones especially for kids. and what if kids below 15 years old watch anime with ecchi genre ? not something good will happen i bet.

Ecchi is considered as a "Porn" but it's a soft porn, not a hardcore one, and on top of that it's not real. mostly adult viewers who doesn't know anime would think anime is a bad entertaiment if they watch Ecchi show for the first time. but if they watch something different than Ecchi for the first time, at least they would think it's an "OKAY" entertaiment. but if you go deep more about anime, they find the thing called "Ecchi" and most people especially adult, would think anime is a bad entetaiment. only teens around 15-25 age would like it. i think that's how anime got a bad reputation. and i want to think how to change the reputation into a good one.

I didn't quite like Baccano! because it just got me hella confuzzled.

I like animes with a clear main character and not really jumping around all the time. The constant Jump from one end to another kinda didn't settle for me sadly.

Wonder Momo, nothing done right in this disasterpiece even the voice acting was shit, well that's what happens when they hand a Japanese series to Western studios and then adapt it based off that Westernized version. The magnitude of the shitting on one of the first games I ever imported is nothing short of unforgivable.

You do realize Glie is a second chance for people who wasted their previous life, right?

We don't even know if there is knowledge to be had to begin with.
It doesn't stop The Communicator from doing everything he can to allow Rakka to know more about what happened to her friend who managed to leave the town though, so it definitely isn't "anti-knowledge" like you say it is.

I don't even know why I'm arguing with a narrow-minded person who couldn't even grasp those simple facts and interpret them.

1) Please note that I did not finish the anime. I dropped it somewhere during the first half. I don't think I even heard the name "Glie".
2) So far, the world looked like it was only good for wasting another life there. What's the meaning in life that does not advance knowledge and technology?
3) Isn't this a topic to show off one's narrow-mindedness?
That's kind of the point though, I find it interesting that you disliked it for those reasons because I liked it for the same reasons and have a similar view towards it as you. Most people don't give a shit about anything beyond their immediate needs and only work to improve themselves because society is (ideally) designed to reward those who pursue something that is beneficial to that society. I think the Glie citizen's disinterest in knowledge mirrors the way most people are. My tags pretty much sum it up.

People who seek knowledge or exihibit behaviors not in line with their culture often get punished. Homosexuals ("vigilante's" hunted them down in SF during the 19th century), transsexuals(currently happening now), believing in evolution or denouncing any religious convictions in certain parts of the US, hell, I can't even talk philosophy with most people because they act like I'm crazy. Maybe it's just my biases, I know a ton of people who don't care about anything but drinking and smoking on the weekends and making a enough money during the week to repeat the cycle. It's fucking disgusting.

and we've had plenty of "what do you not like in anime" threads already, which is pretty much the question..... hence the DJ Khaled gif

i didn't contribute cause theres nothing in anime that bothers me, so what else is someone like me supposed to say?

Well, I don't want to be a dick, but you're supposed to ignore a thread/topic that doesn't interest you, or fits to your problems or needs. I agree with you that this is overly repeated, but it's kinda of different from the ones we usually see.

Accel World is pretty bad due to the protagonist. He ruined the whole series by being useless and a crybaby.
Highshool DXD is absolutely shit too. It was supposed to be a comedy but it turned out to be jerk-off material for horny weebs. Also, the idea of a pervert protagonist was intended for comedy purposes, but being a pervert is absolutely disgusting and it adds up to the list of why not to watch it.

Absolutely agree with you! People say that fanboys ruin the community, while the truth is that haters ruin it. Being a fanboy is when you love an anime very much and defend it like it's you family, which is bad but not that much. On the other hand, people become haters because a certain anime is getting more popularity that their favorite anime, which is a fucking stupid reason to hate something. They're cancer of the community and they ruin the experience for the viewers. I haven't been using MAL like before just because of the mostly hater community. They have no life and you can't get words to go through their thick, empty skull

Black Butler season 2. A show that took everything that wasn't good about a already bad show, make it 5 times worse, and then do everything in it's power to offend me.

This is the only show where I did not find a single character to be even remotely relateable to me or stand out on their own.

My two worst rated titles are Sword Art Online (2/10) and Mondaiji-tachi ga Isekai kara Kuru Sou Desu yo? (3/10), so it would have to be shitty adaptations of shitty light novels that feature a generic overpowered MC with his harem of one-dimensional archetype deres.

People see a bunch of attractive assholes mistreating some girl, so their protective instinct kicks in.

Because it's a whole show about a bunch of absolutely unlikable scumbags abusing, insulting, and torturing a typical unlikable brainless shoujo anime girl, mentally and physically, as they hold her captive in their house and treat her like cattle. As a man, I found watching it was offensive to my morals and intelligence and is one of the few works of fiction (or anything in life really) that has caused me to experience a level of anger I would call rage, which is a feat in and of itself considering I'm not that easy to offend.

And that's what you rightfully getting for not paying attention to genres. It's otome/shoujo. So bitching about it if you're male as stupid as bitching about yaoi. You called it on yourself.

There is such thing as shit taste. Only idiots think that every "work of art" should have the same value.

Persona anime are good. Deal with it.

1.) Except that I actually LIKE some shoujo and josei stuff, so avoiding it offhandedly like that is dumb and pointless. Heck I've even liked other adaptations based on otome games like Amnesia so that doesn't work. Trial and error is still the best method.

2) My opinion was requested by TheBrainintheJar which gives me fair license to voice it, bitching or otherwise. Deal with it. Anyhow, I'm not wasting anymore time discussing this terrible show, anyway so subject closed.
