If you think we got a lot of SoL anime, then you really gotta watch more anime. I was just talking about recent anime being more likely SoL or romance - that type of stuff, not all anime. - Just recent ones. I'm talking about recent anime, genius. Well, from the looks of it, - end of 2013, there seems to be a lot of Sol/Romance/Drama/Fanservice/School/ cute characters. Do I really need to keep repeating myself? No, I was just saying, that my point was that there are more of these genres, not that EVERYTHING was in that category. |

There's a flaw in some watchers in which they only focus too much on plot, not necessarily hate it, but can at least appreciate anime without a "good plot." I can appreciate a k-on once in a while. but for it to be 30% of new anime to come out? that's just too much |

TheNaturalPerm said: not even the characters in those tpye of shows are good. once again. it's just pandering to the otaku fanbase and anybody could write these kind of stories... No, you can't write better. They are interesting, funny, quirky, likable, etc. That makes them ''good'' in the eyes of those who like these types of anime. Some people are not interested in a plot driven story, or a heavy drama and action. They just want a relaxing, care free SoL series with characters they like. There is nothing bad or wrong about that. Every type of anime has it merits that depend on the viewer and their perspective. You don't get to decide what people should perceive as good or crap.

They mean plot driven stories. Shows like NNB or K-On do have a plot in the general sense, but it's not plot/story driven. |

I don't really think you can call them character driven. They just have focus on their everyday life, their actions doesn't affect any sort of plot forward. There is no clear progression or plot development or character development for the most part. They are non-serious and mostly comedic. No, I don't think you can argue that, it's just a plot point. A character driven series typically would be a romance/drama, since the plot revolves around the characters, their developments, their relationships and their decisions and actions that moves the plot forward and create plot progression, something like Toradora for example. |

I'd rather the shitty writers stick to what they're doing. I find terrible SOL to be a lot more bearable than terrible action. Especially if you're gonna use death as a major theme. Cause then you get shit like Pupa, or Mahou Shoujo of the End, and your story turns into nothing but cheap gore fanservice. So let the shit writers make money pandering to the audiences that give them money. Don't encourage them to step out of their bounds and start ruining other genres. |

It's really annoying when the writers/producers/professional thinkers are too afraid to write in "broken hearts" when there are more than one interest in many romances. Of course, there are some, but most seem to just leave the last episode as something along the lines of one interest saying to another "I won't lose!" And then....fin |

You watched so little, yet... hey man, don't pull that card. don't pull it on him and i won't pull it on you. |

People like to get butthurt or automatically derail threads like these but the fact of the matter is that there is a lack of certain anime and an abundance of other types of anime. It is a lot easier to find sol or romcom anime than crime drama anime or steampunk anime or historical anime not set in Japan or China etc. Anime fans should stop trying to hide or deny that fact. |

The fact of the matter is, that those genres some people are pining for are going to be covered by Japan's live-action TV shows, so there's really no reason for anime to double up on that. |

It is a lot easier to find sol or romcom anime than crime drama anime or steampunk anime or historical anime not set in Japan or China etc. Anime fans should stop trying to hide or deny that fact. take a look at summer of this year compared to the upcoming spring. summer is clearly presenting a very different type of anime than spring is. there is no 'lack' of anything, only optimal airing seasons. all media operates in a similar sense, different times of year for different types of things. |

Heredity said: um, and that's exactly what happens in your typical slice of life series is it not? The characters in ''cute girls doing cute stuff''don't have character developments, their actions are merely for the amusement/entertainment of the viewer. The relationships are mostly static. They don't have serious decisions that affect plot progression, since there is no actual structure for a continuous narrative. well, yes their actions do move the easygoing plot along. it's like you're implying characters sit in one spot and never do anything, never converse, never develop, never anything. character actions and decisions can change the dynamic of the group. Not really. Compare the dynamic of the group in Toradora from it's beginning till it's end to K-on's. I mean they just drink tea and goof around, the music is a background thing, and not a real focus, to initiate developments in characters, relationships and the plot. i'd imagine you'd need to to be pretty blind to the character develop and social dynamic of a slice of life series to not even recognise something like one character slowly progressing from hanging out and being friends with character a to character b over the source of 12-13 episodes. yuru-yuri is a great example of a character driven story. to imply nothing changed or developed over the source of two seasons would be silly. The problem here is the amount of actual focus it's given, compared to the nonsensical comedy, which happens to be the purpose of the show. Yeah..that's not something I can call ''development'', that's just an event related to that character. The 'driven' relates to how much the character move the continuous narrative forward, and how much the narrative depends on their actions, and the change in their relationships. What I'm basically saying is that a comedy SoL like K-On, NNB, Lucky Star can't be called 'character driven'. I don't know, I dropped Yuru Yuri. Chuu2 is something I can call character driven for the most part, despite being a ''moe'' anime. |

They don't have serious decisions that affect plot progression, since there is no actual structure for a continuous narrative. otherwise, no. their relationships are not 'mostly static,' characters within such shows usually go through subtle changes as time goes on and it's usually thanks to those around them. besides, what is your understanding of a 'serious decision?' these are slice of life anime, 'serious' decisions are the same as any other 'serious' decision you make in real life. yui's choice of guitar is a serious decision. Not really. Compare the dynamic of the group in Toradora from it's beginning till it's end to K-on's. I mean they just drink tea and goof around, the music is a background thing, and not a real focus, to initiate developments in characters, relationships and the plot. sorry, but that's bullshit. i won't let it slide. have you considered why others think the ending to k-on is sad? so many things change from the beginning of k-on to the end. drinking tea and goofing around is something that happens in that series, yes. to imply that the characters don't change and the dynamic is ever-stationary isn't at all correct though. that would imply azusa never came to have a strong bond with yui, among other changes that occurred within the dynamic.What I'm basically saying is that a comedy SoL like K-On, NNB, Lucky Star can't be character driven. and yet they are. character development is the slice of life genre's biggest thing, and you're a fool for thinking otherwise. |

DrGeroCreation said: Glad you think so. I didn't mean to spite you on this, as I'd actually love for there to be a bucketload of historical anime covering things outside of Japan's usual comfort-zone. However, when it comes to anime-original content, the creators so often manage to botch anything outside of a simplistic slice-of-life or ecchi show, that I doubt we'd be too enthused with the results.

Hollywood is American yet doesn't only make American historical movies but also historical movies based on other countries history. @Heredity There are no steampunk or crime drama anime on that chart. China is about as relevant to Japan as France, Ancient Greece & Rome are for America. Most of the World's history outside of modernity is irrelevant to Japan's cultural consciousness. |

tsudecimo said: So I'm the only satisfied of having 4-5 anime that I like each season? Anymore and I will just lose interest in the medium. Plus there is always manga which is better most of the time. What now? You'd lose interest in the medium if there was MORE stuff coming out that you love about it? Now I've heard anything. |
I probably regret this post by now. |
