| In any case, I actually find thinking something like Tatami Galaxy is the best thing ever to be really similar to thinking something like Sword Art Online is the best thing ever. I think the most difficult and rewarding thing to do is to make something which simultaneously works as both art and entertainment, and preferring something which isn't interested in doing one of those two things seems odd to me. Now and Then, Here and There is probably the only thing which I lionise which isn't interested in entertainment value, (Angel's Egg I actually think does work as entertainment, just an extremely strange kind of entertainment based on looking and occasionally sounding really cool,) but the kind of dirty little wars it's interested in are really important, in a way that the problems of the Tatami Galaxy protagonist just aren't. |

Don't you think her design - the huge, scary eyes and messy hair are part of her character and story? Do you think Shoujo Kakumei Utena is bad because the art style and animation are horrible? I agree 100% with Sosunser here. Shiny animation and art style are nice, but it's really not the most important thing. Depending on how horrible it is. I found Ping Pong's art style to be pure novelty and not very interesting/nice to look at. The anime was still enjoyable. |

| Well, different people have different tastes, but sometimes people have reasons to watch stuff even if it isn't to their taste… for example, do they like defending anime? It's a silly thing to do, but it's more convincing if you've watched the critically acclaimed stuff. Does they really value getting their friends interests? Then they might want to see their absolute favorites even if they're off-putting, I've done that before. |

| All my friends have decent tastes |
 |
| Well, for one I feel as though what people feel is quality differs from one to another. Though, for my friends I typically just recommend them to watch one and they typically do... so I guess I have it easy. |
| Whatever is good for them is quality. |

It may be both grim and dark, but it is certainly not grimdark. It's not in any way impressed by these attributes, it's not like that to look cool and edgy to adolescents, or because it thinks that is cool and edgy. It's like that because it has decided to tackle some of the big, systematic problems with the world, and does so with a high-authenticity strategy. It clearly wants the world to be a paradise, it just can't ignore the way that it isn't, and that it never seems to become one. Let's just say that dystopias aren't the thing I'm looking for in an anime. I do understand why they automatically get a lot of critical acclaim, but I do not have the strength to watch them. |
