I have a craptastic attention span so most anime with like 30+ episodes are a no for me unless they are strongly recommended to me from people I trust/ have very similar taste to me. So yeah this includes pretty all long-running shonen, Gintama, One Piece, Toriko, Fairy Tale etc. I'm willing to give Hunter x Hunter a shot though, since it seems to be pretty well liked and it's by Madhouse. Most school romcom anime... it's been done to death already and rarely if ever do any new titles have something to add. Lastly cute girls x cute things anime... stuff like K-ON, Sora no Woto and Girlz und Panzer. This just never appealed to me considering I'm not a cute girl nor do I do partake in the doing of cute things.

There really isn't much I won't watch. While I don't refuse to watch it, since I've heard the ending of School Days thousands of times, the story doesn't sound interesting to me, and the art looks stupid. I probably won't be watching it.
And I believe there are some anime centered around gore. Almost definitely won't be watching those. Same with NTR and gang rape hentai.

And I'm sure you know but those cute girls doing cute things are aimed at grown men. They are usually seinen.

A lot of grown men must wish they were cute girls doing cute things then =/ idk I've had ppl try to explain the appeal of these shows before and pretty much it all boils down to a "feeling"... apparently one that I don't feel.

Not really, those guys usually like the girls, not want to be them. You don't have to want to be something to want to watch it in an anime.
I don't know if there is a certain unique feeling attributed to cute girls doing cute things anime. I think it might be just enjoying the slow pace and character's interactions. For some men there's probably a sort of relaxed or no worries type of feeling that you feel when watching cute girls live their day and sometimes deal with everyday/not too dramatic or serious problems.
Anyways, the reason I responded to you in the first place was just to remind you that even if you don't like them. They are still aimed at older men, that's a fact.

Name calling and such for no reason? Yeah, I've already mentally invalidated everything you've said and are probably going to say. Way to seem reasonable.

All I asked was why. And I wasn't rude about it, like you're being. If at least some half-assed excuse was too much for you to post, you didn't have to. Instead, you went the smart-assed route. Wanna-be trolling, and still not even contributing anything.

I'm not exactly sure what your point is? You showed me school girls pretending to be soldiers... cute girls x cute things.

There's 108 pages, if you've been following this thread for any extended period of time you'll see pages upon pages of one word answers/irrelevant posting.

For some reason you keep singling me out. BTW, you asked a question a few pages back and I answered it.

Invalidating beforehand okay I see, tell me, who's being the smart-ass and the unreasonable one now?
Also if I used your own logic against you, you're not doing any better in the "name calling" department.

It seems that you like to rack up points against yourself.

Oh and let me tell you that i've been a "smart-assed, half-assed, wanna be" since day 1 but thanks again for your input!

They ARE soldiers. There's no school involved. They are actually fighting a war. The show takes itself very seriously and has some very complex themes dealing with the effects of war.

These kinds of shows are played mainly for comedic interaction. I'd say, find the one that fits your specific tastes more and watch it. There's no really need to condemn a whole subgenre that allows a certain amount of variety. For example, and while they share some basic tropes, Lucky Star is hardly the same as K-On (in terms of comedy at least, they are nothing alike), and other shows of this kind also follow their own path.

Ok... let's say I've already watched one of them and don't even want to continue watching something like it. I've never really liked anime for the "cute girls" or just the whole Moe genre in general. Most shows that are just classified as 'Moe' I am guaranteed to not enjoy from the get-go. I grew up watching slower anime shows and movies with interesting story lines so maybe I am just caught up in the past with the growing number of Moe shows. I also find the "comedy" not very comedic in the first place, it just doesn't suit me. There's my reasoning, and yes, I will condemn the entire genre for it.

Moe isn't a genre. And if you say the comedy isn't good then you obviously have never seen Nichijou.

I was only classifying it as a genre to make it easy.... also yes I've seen some of Nuchijou and I don't think it's that funny. I don't really think there are very many good "funny" anime.

That's exactly what I mean. Lucky Star is parodic and referential. K-On! mixes character-based with situational comedy. Nichijou -from what I've read about it- is the kind of semi-chaotic/crazy absurd. Azumanga is the kind of daily, character-based absurd. And so on. Each show follows its path.

I don't really have anything against your lack of interest on moe. But the primary objective of these shows is making laugh, and in that sense they diverge because they follow different styles. Hence why I don't find this label working for practical purposes.

And these shows tend to be slow-paced, by the way. They follow a relaxing mood most of the time. Heck, you liked Aria the Animation a lot. They are not that different.

I think we need to run over your definition of pornography again. Ecchi =/= Porn. It just has perverted themes sometimes. Pornography implies that a sexual act is being performed which in no way happens in DxD.

I would call Aria an exception i guess... I like the setting and the way things are developed in that show more than anything else, it also doesn't follow conventions of normal Moe shows. That's probably what you're trying to get at with shows like K-On!, let's say I've tried watching a few of these shows and none really interest me.

In the end, I would rather watch a show that focuses more on the story (or even in Aria's case, focusing on the world, and it's people). The main focus of Aria the Animation, and the series that proceed it, is not the comedy and that's why I really enjoy it from the other shows.

Fine then. I'd say that Aria the Animation has a very clear focus on character-based comedy, but it's true that it's more observational/about the visual depiction of the world. Also I don't know about the true definition of moe, but to me Aria is, at least in its broadest definition of bringing cuteness as a general feeling. I don't really think the mood and sense of "moe" of Azumanga is really substantially different from the one this show brings.

But anyway I guess you just don't enjoy/aren't attracted by pure comedy?

You could say that, I don't really enjoy shows that focus only on comedy. It's because if the comedy is bland or doesn't work, it ruins the entire show.

As for Aria the Animation, each season focuses on different things. The first season just introducing the characters, the second focusing on the world, and the third concluding the series. That's why I like it, I think it's unique from other shows and it also gets much better as it progresses.

It's better than Index as a whole, but there are some major flaws with it. The comic-relief characters are out of place, and like usual, they ruin the mood of almost every situation in the anime. The back-stories are interesting enough, however, they don't tend to go into quite the amount of depth that they should. Also, from a personal standpoint, I don't typically enjoy the 4-girl/4-guy school-life anime. Never been a huge fan.
It's natural for a person to deny he's a failure as a human being. That's why he searches for somebody who is more miserable than himself. That's why so much animosity exists on the internet. Those who aren't able to find a more miserable person, turn to the internet and call other people losers, even though they've never met. Just to make themselves feel superior. isn't that pathetic? There's a sense of security that comes from speaking badly of someone else. But that isn't true salvation. — Tatsuhiro Satou

Gundam Seed/Destiny. Oh god, the teenage angst takes center stage in this series, it's painful. I've also seen in the new HD "remastered" version, they added nudity for...um, yeah i think they know the only thing saving it is the fan service.

I'm not interested in 00 for the same reason, but I hear it's not as bad and at least the Gundam designs are at least original.

You should probably ask yourself why you hate mecha before you go watch a bunch of stuff.

Personally, anything with too much fanservice or ecchi I tend to avoid. Even small amounts cheapen a show, excessive amounts just make shows unbearable.

I don't even understand why people like to assume mainly all-girl cast shows are that in the first place unless they've never even watched the show in the first place, which, case in point, they haven't so therefore they don't know until they actually watch it.

But if it isn't his cup of tea, then he doesn't have to watch it.

You should probably ask yourself why you hate mecha before you go watch a bunch of stuff.

Personally, anything with too much fanservice or ecchi I tend to avoid. Even small amounts cheapen a show, excessive amounts just make shows unbearable.
I don't mind Ecchi, but if it doesn't fellow some sort of plot or development, I probably won't watch it.

Take DxD for example, it has Ecchi, it's fun and it does have a form of plot.

As for Mecha, well, what actually is Mecha? I regard it as something revolving around mechanical machines like IS. I just dislike things like that.

I thought the same way about Halo, but I grew to like it. I disliked futuristic things.

I would like to like it, but it's not all that simple.

Most mecha shows don't revolve around fighting in mechs though.

I've hardly seen any. The idea just puts me off. I liked the concept of IS, but it was just boring.

By all means, if you know any good Mecha shows I might enjoy, notify me.

I have a craptastic attention span so most anime with like 30+ episodes are a no for me unless they are strongly recommended to me from people I trust/ have very similar taste to me. So yeah this includes pretty all long-running shonen, Gintama, One Piece, Toriko, Fairy Tale etc. I'm willing to give Hunter x Hunter a shot though, since it seems to be pretty well liked and it's by Madhouse. Most school romcom anime... it's been done to death already and rarely if ever do any new titles have something to add. Lastly cute girls x cute things anime... stuff like K-ON, Sora no Woto and Girlz und Panzer. This just never appealed to me considering I'm not a cute girl nor do I do partake in the doing of cute things.

Sora no woto and GuP are not part of 'cute girls doing cute things' type of shows.


I don't even understand why people like to assume mainly all-girl cast shows are that in the first place unless they've never even watched the show in the first place, which, case in point, they haven't so therefore they don't know until they actually watch it.

But if it isn't his cup of tea, then he doesn't have to watch it.

Eh, I can't really blame that somebody doesn't know what each and every show in the world is about. Nobody does.

But its always a good idea to make sure you know what you're talking about before you post those kind of things.

Clannad. I've heard Afterstory is really amazing but I wanted to watch the series from the start. I just couldn't go beyond the fifth episode. Everything and everyone was so sweet...there's just no action. Not my type of thing.

Naruto. A ridiculously long, extremely overrated show made up entirely of fillers.

They revolve around the boring adventures of people trying to solve world issues, and the political side of the Mecha-realm. It's mostly like the episodes of .hack// in a mecha anime. A bunch of people sitting around and talking about how to fix their problems, rather than doing something about them.
It's natural for a person to deny he's a failure as a human being. That's why he searches for somebody who is more miserable than himself. That's why so much animosity exists on the internet. Those who aren't able to find a more miserable person, turn to the internet and call other people losers, even though they've never met. Just to make themselves feel superior. isn't that pathetic? There's a sense of security that comes from speaking badly of someone else. But that isn't true salvation. — Tatsuhiro Satou

I strongly suggest you try and pull through it. I loved both seasons, but I can see why some people don't like the first.

After Story is where it's all at. It's not in 4th place, maybe 3rd place soon, seeing as both it and Steins;Gate are on the same rating, for no reason.

Pokemon after Hoean. I just don't have the energy anymore, plus Paul is the biggest bore of a character I've seen in awhile.

At least they finally let Brock get a break, god knows he needed one

You're not missing out on much. Once 4kids stopped dubbing the show it basically lost all of its charm
