I know right? Ping Pong's a good show and all, but if it's used as a tool to mock the rest of the anime aired in the same year, it really shows unadmitted hypocrisy from their fans.

I'm well-aware I'm a hypocrite and proud to be one in actuality, but when it comes unadmitted, it really annoys me big big time.

Because I wanted to see what all the fuss was about.

I think Ping Pong gets more hype on MAL than NGNL.

Elsewhere though... Yeah that's where all of the projection towards NGNL comes from. I don't see much praise towards NGNL here either.

Ping Pong gets talked about because it is a series of great intellectual quality whereas NGNL gets talked about because... pedo fanservice, ecchi and blatant gamer power fantasies, which certainly has a mass appeal among the Western otaku and teenage crowd.

Anyway, Spring's Top 4 are easily better than anything in my last year's Top 10 which is pretty amazing. 2014's Space Dandy, Jojo, Mushishi, Ping Pong, Sidonia make it a great year. Best season in years.

A lot of sports anime coming out. Ping Pong, Jojo, and Mushishi have come out. I don't think I've ever given a seasonal anime a 10 the same season it came out until Ping Pong. The ending to the Initial D franchise, one I've liked since before I got into anime is in this year. And the year isn't even over yet. Yeah it's been great.


Is Initial D really good? I've got it in my plan to watch but it's pretty low on the list right now, it does sound interesting though.

If it helps, I really do enjoy Ping Pong perhaps even more than NGNL, but I don't like it being used as a tool to mock other series, especially those on NGNL's "level"

It's usually the fans that make an anime look bad to me, not the anime itself. I'm probably very easy to please in the end. But I'm just saying what I said before because I'm one nasty misanthrope and I despise exceptionalism.

It's pretty good, especially stages 1 and 4. Art gets better as it goes if you're worried about that.

But it's also a franchise that has a lot of sentimental value to me since I've watched it for like 10 years.

I just wanted to point out that popularity can be due to several reasons. Some series get popular because they really stand out and convince a lot of people with their qualities even though they don't have real mass appeal... and some just use cheap tactics and try to generate popularity by being conceptualized in a very specific way. Usually not very favourable and a bit risky as they usually peer into market niches that are flooded with similar titles that try the same - but worth it if they succeed. That's all there is to it.

Yeah, I checked earlier and saw that Initial D first stage aired in like 1998, animation will be outdated quite a fair bit but that doesn't really bother me. The newest Initial D was released in like 2010 or something if I remember. It's quite a 'different' anime and it is quite unique due to the genre. I'll probably watch it after Magi, DAL2 & Baccano.

Actually I think the first season was in 98 then the second was in like 2000, then the fourth was like in 2006, then the fifth was in like 2013, and then the last season which is like 4 episodes is currently airing.
Yes there aren't many car anime out there.

A bunch of great shows thus far (Ping Pong, Mushishi, Jojo, Sidonia) and some very entertaining stuff (NGNL, Kamigami no Asobi). Heck, even lame shows were actually sort of fun to complain about (Mahouka, Black Pedo Bullet).
Very good year so far.

I wish I could compare, but right now, all the anime I know are categorised under Spring/summer 2014 anime and Anime before Spring 2014... -_-... so i cant really compare to other years...

However, based on my enjoyment for 2014 anime, it looks kinda good.

Sidonia no Kishi was awesome, and had the best use of CG in any anime I know. NGNL was one helluva fun ride, and even if it seems like a childish show that panders to fanservice lovig otakus who love anime references, it did a great job as entertainment...

I'd say I really liked Soredemo no Utkushii and BwMK, but a lot dont consider them good...

Anyways, looks like Summer may have some really awesome shows too, and come fall 2014 we have the what I hope and expect to be the most epic remake ever, F/SN 2014 :,D
