I admit there was a time and place when I too enjoyed shows that pander to otakus, but that was in the beginning when I first started to watch anime. It was odd, interesting, and very different compared to the media I had been in contact with earlier. Seeing as a few years have gone since then, my taste in anime have shifted towards more "mature" shows. Today I find otaku pandering to be the second next worst thing in anime after tsunderes.

So are any of you sick of these very generic otaku pandering shows? Give a reason why so it won't be a listing thread.

Import BDs and merchandise to get what you want, your complaining has as much effect as a Ghost-type move on a Normal-Type Pokemon.

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Damn.
Totally right though.

Anime is a business, my brilliant friend. If the anime you like is not profitable... then sorry, you won't be getting more. Here is an advice: Contribuite to make it profitable.

Honestly, those who complain about everything sitting on a chair waiting to the chage to appear out of thin air are more annyoing than any otaku or weeaboo.

Eh, a lot of shows I enjoy are considered "otaku pandering" by many people, I really don't care what they think, if I enjoy watching them, that's all that matters to me.

No, because I don't bite the hand that feeds me. These are the shows that provide the companies money so they can make the kind of shows you and I really want to watch. That at least deserves some respect I think.

Depends, doesn't mean the show is bad, but if it panders too much it has no substance, otherwise why would it pander so much?

I mean, harems are okay, but shows like NGNL are a big no.

Read manga then which is more general culture.
Complaining otaku taste sounds rather ridiculous when you watch
late-night anime which started off as and is center of otaku culture in the first place

Isn't MAL lowest ranking is just under 8k?

Including shows from 1969 which technically do not count.

No. I like those kinds of shows, and if anything, my tastes have only become more similar to Japanese otakus' tastes over time, not less. That's not to say I don't watch other varieties of anime, though if the old-guard anti-moe hate brigade hypes the hell out of a specific title *cough*LoGH*cough*, I'm more likely to avoid it.

LoGH is also very very otaku show.
SF,Moe are equally otaku pandering which does not appeal masses but strongly appeal to fandom.

The word Otaku itself come from SF fan Community and Anime fan Community,SF Anime might be epitome of Otaku-ness.

Its no coinsidence it has huge episodes of OVA which is todays counter part of late-night anime culture.

Nah.

However, Otaku is a terrible sounding word though and I'd rather not Identify myself as that.

But personally, I want there to be an good anime that really shits on western Otaku culture in a creative way.

It's always good to be self-aware.

I personally don't mind me some stupid shows that are pretty obviously pandering to otakus but there has to be some sort of balance between the amount of these shows
and actually well thought out and meaningful shows. I find there's no balance and its more like an otaku anime flood these days :p

^Pretty much.

I only watch or read what I want.

There's no point in voluntarily choosing to feel disappointed and degrade any show, including anime, especially one with an intended target audience that just so happens to not adhere to your own tastes.
