| While some of these opinions may not be so unpopular outside of fandom spaces, they sure as fuck seem to be online and I am as usual probably going to get a lot of shit for these. I've said this a million fuckin times and I must reiterate it as it is a hill I am willing to die on. FMA 2003 is a much better show than Brotherhood was on many levels, even if Brotherhood was a decent show overall. The directorial style of 03 was generally more visually striking than Brotherhood with the camera angles used even if Brotherhood on the surface may look better with its brighter colors, since while the colors may be brighter in Brotherhood, the camera angles and composition generally were way more creative and dynamic in 03. The pacing in Brotherhood is also really fucking bad and hurts the series overall, with the speed running of the first 13 or so episodes leading to important plot points from the manga being skipped over and exposited towards the audience later, breaking the "show don't tell" rule. With 03's slower pace there isn't really any skipping of any of the early material and it in fact gets expanded on a bit which heavily benefits certain storylines such as with Shou Tucker. When the story splits off from the manga in 03 it doesn't feel unnatural, and the new lore seamlessly ties in with established characters and concepts which leads to a great alternative interpretation of the themes of the story. While Brotherhood has a bit more optimism, 03 tries to put the characters we love as low as possible and messing with their minds and morals which brings the philosophical elements of the series to the forefront. 03 tends to ask questions about what makes us human. It just hits me much harder than Brotherhood ever could, and I love it for that, and wish that the show got more praise online that it rightfully deserves. The fact that there is no legal way to watch this classic at the moment is upsetting. Dragon Ball Super is not that great, and it feels like collectively the Dragon Ball fandom has forgotten how shit the show was when it came out and only really care about the action. Super's first two arcs were fucking awful and the idea to retell the movies with worse quality animation and an ungodly amount of filler actively made me question the existence of the show when it came out. Even when the new stuff comes up it's not that great with the U6 v U7 arc being horribly mid, the Future Trunks arc being essentially a bunch of fanservice with a god awful ending that came out of nowhere, and the Universe Survival arc really only has the action going for it as the stakes are essentially 0 considering we know that U7 will at least survive in some way considering Super is a midquel taking place right before the end of Dragon Ball Z but right after Buu is defeated. This isn't even going to the character assassination the series has gone through with "Stupid Super Goku" actively regressing and unlearning some of the lessons he learned literally in the Original Dragon Ball. Super just feels like what non-DB fans think Dragon Ball is: Flashy lights and colors with very little substance to it. The general anime fandom has to genuinely be up there for the most toxic fandoms I have engaged with and been a part of online, only really beaten out by the Star Wars fandom but I have talked about this a million times. This community really needs to grow up and stop allowing reactionary "anti-woke" sentiment to be so prevalent and left unpunished, stop trying to push women minorities and new fans out, and allowing people to genuinely criticize things without being harassed for being "too woke tourist". |

| Evangelion is way overrated and people (mainly its fans) speak of it like is way more smart than what it actually is. Many of the “simbols” and stuff like that was out there because “it looked cool”, and this come from the creator of the series. For many is was just one of the first tv shows that put more serious topics on the table. Thats is. |
ST63LTH said: Mine would have to be CGI>2D (when both are done perfect) There's just something attractive seeing free flowing movements in CGI That is really breaking the status quo 🤯 But hey, to each their own :3 Let's see how many shitty opinions i can spew 😁 - One Outs is a terrible sports anime and all the psychological aspects it's suppost to showcase about sports is done 100x better in Haikyuu!! - Madoka Magica is a terrible psychological anime which doesn't develope it's characters beyond their stereotypes - However, sterotypes in anime aren't always bad, when done well they can provide a good foundation for characters and be the source of great comic relief - Shounen being full of badly written female characters is a myth |

| -"Ecchi is only enjoyed by teenagers, I've grown out of ecchi as an adult": probably the worst common argument. Enjoying a genre has nothing to do with your age no matter what it is, nobody "grown out" of anything, you can't suddendly stop enjoying a genre you always liked once, it makes no sense. You still like it but you don't want to admit as adult for illogical reasons. You're an adult, you have the freedom to like what you want, no one can tell you anything, no one can control you since you're not a minor anymore. Others claim ecchi is bad since is ridiculous, ecchi was never serious, it was made to make you horny and being funny. It's the oldest marketing tactic in the book: Sex sells. A very few claim cry about "sexualization of underage characters" as a reason they don't enjoy ecchi series anymore but it makes no sense since: 1) it's fiction so if you treat underage characters and underage real people as the same especially with you being an adult, you're stupid. 2) many ecchi with adult characters exist so you're stupid for not knowing 3) pretty sure you read tags of a series you want to watch, if its tagged as ecchi and you complain about their existence, you're stupid too (yes, I know some Anime have ecchi scenes despite they area not ecchi but they are not prominent enough to be tagged as ecchi and if you're a weirdo in my eyes if u complain about human nature, yes I used to complain about FF random ecchi scenes in serious scenes but honestly they weren't too many, I was biased against the show in the first place and I have no idea about how important the ecchi culture is in Anime in general, now I changed). Adults don't lose their libido from their teenager years, it's still there so you can still enjoy ecchi series. In some cases, an adult libido is even stronger than before like in my case. I'm more sexual as an adult unlike my teenagers years, the main reason I was too depressed before and I couldn't handle my emotions so I lose much time, now I'm the one in charge. Part of being an adult is you stop worrying about external validation (as long as you aren't hurting or bothering anyone, of course). Nobody is too old to enjoy ecchi. Who cares what other people think? There's no victim in this scenario, there's no problem. It's fictional characters with unrealistic designs. I don't see why people should kill their libido from a certain age. If all that remains is fantasies, where is the problem? |

It just hits me much harder than Brotherhood ever could, and I love it for that, and wish that the show got more praise online that it rightfully deserves. The fact that there is no legal way to watch this classic at the moment is upsetting. I disagree with the fact that Fma is better than Fmab. Don't get me wrong, 03 was great and all, but Fmab is on a whole different level. If you prefer the tone of 03, I can understand why Brotherhood might not resonate with you as much. The series has a more somber, introspective tone and philosophical themes compare to Fmab. But saying that 03 is overall better? That's just delusional. One of the most common complaints about 03 is its pacing. Fma takes its sweet time in telling the story of the Elric brothers. Fmab plows through in 10 episodes what it takes 03 over 20 episodes to cover. The beginning of Fmab is very fast pacing in its plot, that because they did not want to repeat every little thing that Fma already covered. One thing that 03 did better than Brotherhood is the development of Maes Hughes. Also the relationship between the Elric brothers and Nina Tucker had more time to shine thanks to the slower pacing. Some episodes of Fma such as 4, 10 and 11-12 felt somewhat unnecessary to the overall story. Just like you said, 03 splits from the manga, creating a different narrative while Fmab follows the manga closely to the end. As a fan of the manga, I naturally have a preference for Brotherhood. The manga itself is the main reason that people even wanted to watch the shows in the first place. Fmab is more focused on the plot, but the 03 is more about character development. I love both Fma and Fmab, each one brings something unique to the table. Fmab has a more traditional shounen feel, with action-packed, true to the manga and full of epic moments. Another thing are the endings, the ending of the 03 where Al and Ed are separated was not that great. Ed goes to help some soldiers on the other side of the door of truth. But then, the door shuts behind him trapping him and leaving Al alone on the other side. Like that? it was pretty foolish and super strange. They had to make Conqueror of Shamballa, to make sense of the ending. The movie was like the rescue mission to fix all the loose ends and give us that closure we needed. Brotherhood ties it up a little better and sweet. I think it sticks to all the laws of alchemy and alchemy lore better than 03. The series highlights Ed and Al journey of growth, as they learns to lean on others for help, love and support, ultimately realizing the strength of the bonds they shares with his newfound family. |
| Mentioned in a different thread, so I'll just quote it. Daviljoe193 said: It's probably the only take that I know next to nobody else shares with me, which is that subtitles belong on the top of the screen, not the bottom. Subtitles on the bottom of the screen just look wrong to me. Thankfully my video player lets me move subtitles wherever I want, and I also have a bunch of shell scripts to automatically change the subtitle positions on anime for whenever I have access to the softsubs in either ASS or SRT format, which tends to look a lot nicer because it ends up using the exact same edge spacing that would be used if the subs were on the bottom. Example of what that looks like, vs bottom subs.   Subtitles at 1.25x size, since encoding a long clip into a 2 mb gif required a lot of fiddling with framerate and resolution, so the subs look larger than they'd normally look. BTW, this is Gallery Fake. |

| @JaaShooUhh It's kinda like a balancing thing for me. Sometimes they lean more cute than annoying and vice versa. It's violent ones that can fuck off completely though. And this is from someone who likes some legitimately insane characters. And they can fuck off for one reason and one reason only. It's not funny. They try to make it seem funny, but it pretty much never is. This isn't a moral thing. It just straight up is never done in a way that makes me laugh. I can see how in general they'd piss you off in real life though. |
