| No. My opinion is, No. |
| The most important things in life is the people that you care about |
| Complaining about the fans doesn't make you any better. |
 |
| The solution? ignore them, don't bother with them, they merely want your attention that's why they over exaggerate and react, fans want you to know how good/suckish one anime is and there is no such thing as "the best anime" save for biased opinions There are just too many genres and in the end its all down to personal preferences, you can give your opinions on an anime but the line is drawn when you are forcing another person to watch/ignore that show |
| kek |
| Now that you've got that off your chest, my dear boy, do the sensible thing and watch more anime instead of wasting precious time thinking about others who you don't care much about, don't feed or shelter you or just doesn't make your day. Live a little. Show those people that regardless of their opinion, YOU are the boss of what you like - never them. Now cheer up and remember that it's better to watch anime than to dwell on this matter. |
| I stopped caring about things like that a long time ago, there will always be people to hate every single thing on this earth, and you cannot stop it. Just enjoy the animu. |
| I stopped reading when you mentioned youtube comments being the origin for your rage. Seriously, who reads those AND gets angry about them? |
| I probably regret this post by now. |

| you just mad that I'm more intelligent than you, and because of that my taste in anime and mango is more refined. It's okay if you can't understand the deep intricate plot of the anime I watch, I mean, it's okay because it wasn't meant for normal "average" intelligence people like you in the first place. So don't feel too bad, champ. |

| I can agree to an extent, but there's no reason for you to care what these people think. Fanboys generally will do anything to try to explain why their favourite series are "the best", even if that means insulting the intelligence of those that don't like their favourites as much as they do. Personally my favourites are simply the series I got the most enjoyment out of and if people don't like it, that's their problem. |
 |
| I think people should understand that calling out "shit tastes" is actually fallacious. Actually, it can be proven to be a mental illness if you want to exaggerate. Claiming "absolute objectivity" in "art/entertainment" (anime) is biased by default. (I'm looking at somebody we all know on Anime Discussions) And that arguments about tastes go nowhere. Calling /thread. |

| Lol Elfen Lied smart Lol!!! And if people are getting all butt-hurt over someone disagreeing with them over the greatest anime ever, they're probably taking things a little too seriously. Especially since most people who would say that Naruto or One Piece are the greatest anime ever have most likely only watched Naruto or One Piece. |

philipmarie said: This also counts of course to people who show disdain towards others because they love these more mainstream titles. Someone actually said that One Piece is better than this manga I won't mention. Everyone asked him why. He said 'because, it's obvious'. It's not a good image of the fan community and it won't appeal non-fans to it either especially since I did hear One Piece focuses alot on morality. Worse still if you regard yourself as the big fat god of all anime knowledge and pretend that people should listen to your opinions as they're seemingly always right. One person told me that he compares anime like SwordArt Online to works like Twilight just to make people 'think'. I told him no, you can't do that as SAO is far from being as bad as Twilight and that you're not the sole arbiter of all things anime. He immediately shut up after that. 1st quoted paragraph: I'm a little confused here. Is the person saying One Piece is the best the one showing disdain toward mainstream titles? Because there aren't many things more mainstream than One Piece. 2nd quoted paragraph: You're telling this guy he doesn't have the authority to say SAO is as bad as Twilight. But, you're the one telling him he CAN'T say something. And of course, why do you care what they say? If someone's being a fanboy/hipster, don't let it get to you. |

Higashi_no_Kaze said: I stopped reading when you mentioned youtube comments being the origin for your rage. Seriously, who reads those AND gets angry about them? This. But I think when people tell stop worshiping Naruto or Bleach as the greatest anime ever are quite right, and on the contrary those comments are to entourage you to broaden your horizons. But you mention youtube, which has heavy western audiences, so yea, in those lands Naruto and Bleach are worshiped and over hyped to death, that super annoying. As Bebiop or Monster while not the bets ever are loved by western fans, so yea, they are extraordinary examples on whre you can start yo broaden your horizon. Watch more anime, pre-2000s so you know what anime wa sand currently is and can have more tools to judge anime.

Personally my favourites are simply the series I got the most enjoyment out of and if people don't like it, that's their problem. Yes, no one cares much about others FAVORITES, but when said fans (fanboys or not) start calling their favorites THE BEST, there theres the issue, because someone who has watched more can easily tell you theres no way xxxx series is THE BEST when you have XXXXX. Most of the grips are that fans are blind to their favorites, very few can be objective (yes, its possible, because favorites should be =/= from BEST) and have the "experience/Knowledge" to say, look, I LOVED say.....xxxx or xxxxx BUT theres no way in hell they are the BEST when you have xxx (i.e MACROSS - or CAPTAIN HARLOCK, |

| What even is intelligent anime? |
 |
Shrabster said: I was expecting the "mature anime" guy to start talking about Legend of the Galactic Heroes. |
| Mini-list for you: 1.Fans are common to make the money and the shit of the anime. It's not surprising to see blind fans of a certain work to go crazy about a single offense/dislike towards it (Hell, even I get a little annoyed when people complains about something for no reason), so I do believe that your acts are getting you to nowhere. Why would you want to talk about other animes with them anyway? Adversiting to Otaku world? 2.Some Mainstream animes DOES have intelligence, and I watched One Piece to around 200 and stopped for secondary reasons. One piece does bring alot of themes in their world (Slavery, Racism, etc) but it's often overlooked by the childish graphics (And don't complain, Oda knows how to draw their stuff, and some characters are damn unique). In a ironic way though, even if the story is somewhat happy-go-luck, the world they live in is crapsack. Same goes for Naruto. 3."Bad" Fans are everywhere, the difference is that there some more on a certain works than another. In a way that someone complains is because it's mainstream, other people just watches because it's mainstream. You should pay attention to the more worthy fans, which know what the hell is the author doing and truly enjoying the show. 4.A better explanation of the "3". Popularity is totally linked to fans, especially: 4.1.Some watch because it's popular (A.K.A some hipsters) 4.2.The Show grown popularity and now it sucks ( http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ItsPopularNowItSucks ) 4.3. People hate it because it popular. However, you do bring good points. People hate mainstream fans and mainstream fans hate people that talk crap about their anime. But hey, why should fix it? Some are really fun to read. I understood of what you said, but now that you gave up of your rage and spoke it honestly, I give my advice to ignore all the fans and watch the anime you like. |

NihonFalcom said: What even is intelligent anime? The problem is that this word itself is used on a wide variety of ways. All I can believe is: 1.How well it is able to manage the themes/symbolism it tries to proposes. 2.The "Theme itself". 3.The ability of the characters in general to answer the problems in the most logical way (that's why people often consider Death Note as being extremely intelligent, becausse L and Light is doing a Speed Chess with a Luck Gambit almost all near damn the time.) I think this is often misguided with Mature-Content = Intelligent. Which is far from the truth. |

philipmarie said: Thanks everyone for the replies. In order to clear some misconceptions, know I don't think One Piece is bad AT ALL. In fact, I think it looks good and is on my to read list. To whoever said that Legend of Galactic heroes is great and anyone who doesn't watch it is a plebian or something: while I see the joke, it's the same reason I wrote this thread in the first place. You can't call someone a plebian because they haven't wathced a certain show. I do think some anime are deeper and more well written than others, that I will not deny. But every good title has well, something good in it and everyone has his own reasons why he loves a certain show so you really can't in the end hate on someone simply for liking an anime. Yeah, you guys are right in that I'm overreacting to all these hateful comments. True story, I was debating with a militant atheist once (no offence to normal atheists out there, I have plenty of nice atheist friends online and I don't want any reliious debates here) about religion on you tube. Cut a couple of months later and I find he actually posted a video 'refuting' my comments. It's unelievable the extent some people will go to. You can call them a plebian. You just shouldn't. Not seriously, anyway. And like you said, it's just a joke. |
