| I probably regret this post by now. |
| I guess I shouldn't be surprised that there is backlash here since ZnT is hyped to high heaven but I think its probably the best Thriller anime I've seen so far. The only real gripe I have at the moment are the fact that it feels a little formulaic, particularly the last two episodes where Sphinx drops a riddle, police fumble to stop the threat, detective ace thinks about it and then his friend says something that causes it to click and solve the riddle. But I have faith in Watanabe, pretty much everything else he has directed has been really good and I think the directing in ZnT is fantastic. The little details that have been put into it like them using TOR to upload their videos and the fact that they used crypto currency to buy a stolen credit card to purchase things with. Plus it looks gorgeous and the music is great as well. So while I think its probably overhyped, since people are basically talking about it like its the second coming of christ, its definitely a solid show. |
| Code Geass; people seem to think it is the pinnacle of anime" that it is so "mature" and "complex", they have no idea. Thinking Code Geass was the original mecha, and original anime to discuss politics, hell any series that has a Princess (as in members of royalty, not magical girl titles like Minky Momo)like ALDNOAH.Zero or friggin' Rose of Versailles will make people think of Code Geass. It was indeed the first anime to that for some people i.e. it is a gateway series for far more complex anime such as LoGH but it has become a trap behind the gate that people fall into |

Aeonic said: Not to make a habit of quoting wikipedia, but: "There is neither an academic nor an international legal consensus regarding the definition of the term terrorism"@ JizzyHitlerFor terrorism to be called terrorism is needs to be political with the definition of terorrism meaning that is must have a political reason behind and that remains unclear so far. That said, I'd agree that since no demands have been made, nor obvious motives revealed, it doesn't yet fit the usual technical usage of the term"terrorism". They are certainly instigating 'terror', and their actions fit what public perception (in the west) of what a "terrorist" action is. |

Its got its shortcommings i wont deny that, but its core experience is honestly one of the better works in the franchise for me so far and it really deserves alot more recognition than the constant shit it gets by the few who ever watch it. |

Just because a lot of people enjoy code geass more than logh you're going to get butthurt and give the series a 1. I simple enjoy this series because it was so good, I enjoy code geass a lot. The geass power made the series even more interesting and enjoyable to watch, some people don't like realistic series because it's stuff we see every day on a daily basis. That's why stuff like super powers came to be because it's something that can't happen in real life, and that's fascinating to see. |

jpem said: Oh my god someone actually thinks this too, I was legitimately starting to think i was the only one mainly cause fuck all amounts of people actually watched victory.JizzyHitler said: Yeah, the gundam fanbase always confuses me. The things I disliked in Victory were also present in the other U.C. shows and sometimes to a much worse degree.Anywho, victory gundam is a really under appreciated series, its such a shame its one of, if not the most detested entry in the series even by its creator, cause despite its shortcommings its a honest to god pretty great storyline with really memorable characters and fantastic character development, its way better directed than tomino's previous works and feels alot less sloppy in the character interaction and pacing parts, its newtype powers while a bit out of hand at a couple parts is much more toned down and less out of place than it felt in some earlier installments, Really if you can look past some (honestly not that important) scenes and deaths that really felt unnecessary to stupid than there is a emotionall and memorable series to be seen here, and really the deaths of any major characters are usually pretty well done its just when a minor character dies its usually awful(infamously one of them involved a guy kamikazing a moving fortress and it really accomplished nothing other than killing him.). Yeah i really dont get the shit victory gets, well i mean i get the complaints cause i have them too, but what i dont get is why victory gets all the shit but the other UC ones get a free pass. Victory gundam is just a tragic series, both in its dire and depressing story, and also with just how harshly its received. Im probably gonna say something cringeworthy to some but, i honestly think victory and zeta share the exact same cons as well as many of the same pros. |

| Oh and also, Japan just hit a nostalgia nerve so allow me to claim that Digimon Adventure is criminally underrated. |
|
| OVERRATED: Dragonball Z: If you're a fan I respect your opinion but I cannot get the appeal. When I was a kid I really liked it but now it's just kind of meh. The fights drag on for far too long, the story gets incredibly repetitive (Goku dies, he gets brought back) and there are far too many time skips. UNDERRATED: Gungrave: This series has received acclaim from many people yet it is somewhat under the radar when it comes to the larger portion of the anime community. It is very touching, has great action scenes, two memorable leads (their companionship and betrayal rivals that of Guts and Griffith) and has a very gritty feel which I really like. |
Take care of yourself |

How can you not like this? I've only watched 1 episode of Mushishi Zoku Shou, and ended up dropping it because it was so damn boring On the other hand, all episodes of NGNL were enjoyable. Not a single one was boring. |

Apparently the "!?" is actually part of the title... Where do you think it should be? I haven't really thought much about it since there is a lot of titles this summer that overshadow it and are far better. But so far (with all the eps till now) it turned out to be funny. I didn't think that at first since I seen the same type before but the show does a good job at presenting and executing it. It should at least be as high as Nanana, I actually like this better.

Botato said: Watching the New Edit for Psycho-Pass, reminder that Psycho-Pass is underrated and gets a lot of shit for no reason. No, "pretentious" is not a valid reason. You should watch Stand Alone Complex if you want to see how a sci-fi crime show should be done. It surpasses PP in a lot of ways especially in character development, allowing it to have a more enjoyable character driven story. |
| GITS is regarded as one of the great animes how is it underrated? |

fst said: By the way, weekly reminder that Rokujouma no Shinryakusha!? is underrated. Apparently the "!?" is actually part of the title... I think its being overlooked because there are already 3 really good comedy shows this season, two of which are pretty popular.

Toothless_Snake said: now Jormungand is under rated no one ever speaks a word of it even though its as good as Black Lagoon No, black lagoon was better. Jormungand kinda dropped the ball at the end. And no part of Jormungand stands up to Roberta's Blood Trail |

Botato said: gedata said: Yeah I see some lists giving the first two seasons 7-10 then tamers is like 1-4 wut?Even moreso for Tamers, rank 1200? Really? Why is it hated so much O.o My younger self hated Tamers to no end. Just the thought that they had cards disgusted me and I never looked past that. It was as simple as that. As soon as I saw cards it was all downhill from there. I rewatched the three seasons several years ago and I found that Tamers was the one that I connected to the most. Kids show yes, cheesy yes, but it had a lot of heart when/where it mattered and on a slightly more complex level than the first two. At least that's what I felt. Not a big fan of 02- the cast aside from Ken did not appeal to me. Very whiny. Might give them another rewatch for old times sake. |

It has always been tagged as a comedy show so I'm not sure why you're surprised it was a comedy show. As far as comedy shows goes its actually quite good and it does have some decent gun battles because that is still part of the premise, its just more focused on comedy. |
| I liked all of the digimon seasons that I saw which was 1-4 XD I think 1 is my favorite followed by 3 3 was a lil darker than the rest if I remember correctly. |

I'm sorry I'm not a masochist. I'm not going to force myself to watch something that's not in my interest. I think 4 to 5 episode is enough to judge a series. Plus I ask someone that watches psycho pass if it gets any better and he looked at my list and saw that I dropped it so early. And you know what he said? If I didn't enjoy the first 4 episode I wont enjoy the second half because it's not as good as the first. So yes both log horizon and psycho pass is average to me, I don't need to watch every episode to have a opinion on a series. |
