| Hand-Drawn Cel Animation >>>> Digital. Filler and Anime Original Endings aren't always a bad thing. One Punch Man is very Mid. FMA Brotherhood is almost Mid too. InuYasha is overhated. Not only do I agree with -Ryu on HxH 1999, but I honestly preffer those two arcs over Chimera Ants, because I feel like they have a much better sense of pacing and focus. If your attracted to lolis your attracted to children. |

If an effortless animation is released to the public, would it then have soul because it has a lot of flaws? Which is why I made the effort to understand what you mean by mentioning Ex-Arm by watching the first episode of it. For some reason, my stomach feel like its clenching eternally after watching that. |

Igreja said: Oh trust me I understand that feeling. the worst part is I read the manga and the art is actually quite good so when I saw the anime was made I was like "oh this should be pretty good" and then I started watching it and to this day I am still confused at how something like that could go through the entire process of being made and no one thought "you know maybe we should cut our losses and never release this" on the bright side it makes the 2016 Berserk show look watchable.struggler_sensei said: I see you have yet to learn to understand irony and sarcasm.

I did get a glimpse of the manga's first chapter and it is leaaaaaaaaaps better than whatever the anime had in store. This is what happens when you give projects to no-name studios, I suppose. |

struggler_sensei said: mecha is a culture of a previous generation(my gen). a lot of folks now days don't tend to like watching mecha anime. half of it is because a lot of newer mecha rely heavily on cg which has a massive stigma against it (not without justification berserk 2016, so i'm a spider so what, ex arm, to name a few.)TheMechaManiac said: Isn't this just a normal take? Cause mecha's always been dope.Mecha is actually a good genre. usually the mecha i see that stick around nowdays are the old favorites that have already established themselves like Gundam you rarely see newer mecha anime survive past 2 seasons. it's also been ages since gundam has been a main focus. even shows like blood orphans and gundam g no reconguista went under a lot of peoples radars. I cannot deny that mecha has had a major drought in both anime and gaming untill recently with gundams resurgence through witch of mercury and armored core finally getting a revival. also macross hasn't really been relevant since the early 2000's show, but that's not really their fault as much as it's Harmoney golds fault. as for my spicy takes 1. Neon Genesis Evangelion is not a mecha. it's a kaiju flick if a horse is not a mecha then a eva is not a mecha. 2. Madoka magica despite being good killed the magical girl genre. ever since it released every single damn magical girl series we've gotten has been a dumb gore fest edgey nonsense with none of the actual qualities that made madoka good. with i think Symphogear being one of the few exception (but that basicly came out around the same time. one year appart.) i miss when magical girls could have a serious plotline without needing to rely on heavy amounts of gore and or sexual assaults being the overall themes. even symphogears final season got a bit to reliant on shock value gore. |

TheodoreKyle said: It's just confusing. It's like saying "Fantasy movies >>>>> PG-13 movies".struggler_sensei said: Oh lol what I meant there is slice of life and shounen as a whole. I know that there is shounen - slice of life but I didn't mean that way. this doesn't make sense. slice of life is a genre, shounen is a demographic. like there is shounen slice of life and seinen slice of life and shoujo slice of life and josei slice of life. |
TheodoreKyle said: Now it's not confusing. But now it's not that spicy, it's just a preference. Now broaden it again to "slice of life >>>>> Action shounen" and it gets spicier, though I wouldnt say its all that spicy, your other takes are spicier though.struggler_sensei said: Let me name some animes instead:It's just confusing. It's like saying "Fantasy movies >>>>> PG-13 movies". Laid-Back Camp >>>>> My Hero Academia Shirobako >>>>> Black Clover The Aquatope on White Sand >>>>> Jujutsu Kaisen Will that spicy take suffice? |
| CGI isn't terrible by default, unless it's half-assed like Berserk 2016 and other similar anime, I don't really mind it. |
| Who are you and why do you show your hostility towards a complete stranger whom you've not once spoken with before. Are you seriously asking to get blocked? Well, if that's what your intent is; to tempt me into throwing hands with someone as lowly and insignificant as you, then i may grant your wish provided you articulate yourself a bit better when trying to spite a person of my wavelength. |

Also are you sure about that, you could argue that Ratatouille is a mecha lol. |
Risa92 said: Oh! Hello :). Of course, Madoka wasn't the first to do the dark magical girl thing. As you said, Sailor Moon, Utena and Princess Tutu (personal favourite) did it before. There is even things like Shamanic Princess (series of OVAs), that's overall darker than any of the Mahou Shoujo of its time. And it's not like a bunch of Mahou Shoujo don't deal with things like death or gloomier subjects, but it is true that after PMMM, a wave of this style of magical girls became more popular. There is nothing wrong with it, but it's not of my personal preference. It's kinda like what happened with Sailor Moon at the time: yes, the Magical Girl already existed before this anime/manga, but from there on a wave of magical girls with slight inspiration on it came to be.Ryu-B said: Hm, I'd say that Puella Magi Madoka Magica changed the Mahou Shoujo genre in a way I don't particularly like. I'm not saying PMMM is bad by any means (from the story to the visuals it's really cool), but after it, the "dark twist"on magical girls became like a norm. Where's the twist if every single one is dark a depressing? lol. I'd personally like more cutesy Mahou Shoujo to come out (remakes and stuff are nice, but you know, maybe new things would be cool too) I wouldn't say it's a norm tho. There are still new Pretty Cure seasons every year, a remake of Sailor Moon and a remake of Tokyo Mew Mew. Even without the remakes, there are still all the Pretty Cure seasons. My spicy take on it is that Madoka wasn't the first to do that by any means. It was just "easier to recognize" that it's dark, because of the tone it set. The Sailor Moon manga btw got pretty dark while it has been made for a much younger audience ... and Madoka took some inspiration from the Sailor Moon manga imo, especially from later arcs / Hotaru's and Setsuna's backstories and functions in the story. Everybody feared the awaking of the true form of Mad... I mean Saturn, because that could have had disturb space-time and bring ruin over the world, and then there is Setsuna being caught at a space-time portal she has to watch over. It's not bad to get inspiration from other media, but people act like Madoka was the first and unlike everything that has existed ever before. Also there had been Utena and Princess Tutu long before Madoka existed And yes, there is Pretty Cure coming out every year, but that's mostly the only new new thing that comes out of the genre (or at least in anime form, there is manga out there too), and well, I guess this might also be a hot take, but Pretty Cure isn't precisely my favourite franchise lolol. Once again, nothing wrong with it, but I feel like it doesn't quite appeal to me, at least from the ones I watched (Futari wa, Max Heart, Smile, DeliPa), perhaps I haven't watched the right Pretty Cure for me? The point I'm trying to reach here is that it'd be nice to see more of the cutesy Mahou Shoujo. Maybe that won't necesarily happen right now, but the remakes of SM and TMM are one step in that direction. I guess it makes sense that the Magical Girl as a genre came in this direction though, since after having so many cutesy series, it's interesting to give it a twist like this. But well...I personally prefer the cute stuff, or at least the less gory stuff (?). |

| Most classics are considered good only because we were 10y when watching them. |
| Your Lie in April is overrated. Kaori is an abusive manipulative manic pixie dream girl. The show handles childhood trauma terribly, and just tries to throw emotional moments full of flashbacks to get you to cry. |
| Oyasumi punpun and grand blue are the biggest shit overrated i've ever read or watch. |
 |
| -Demon Slayer is more ironic than DBZ by this point. In fact, most mainstream shounen post-DBZ are already more iconic than DBZ. -80s Anime > 90/00s Anime -2010s Anime is peak. -FMAB is your mid shounen with some twists there and there. |
