IndianAnimeReker said: kingraptor724 said: Steins Gate is one of the animes that actually makes me think I shouldnt take MAL ratings seriously at all. I dont recall even laughing once, or finding the pseudo science even slightly interesting. Correction. It's called Science-Fiction not Pseudoscience. As someone who has a fetish for Science-Fiction stories, and as someone who has re-watched the show countless times to find plot holes and to figure out the science behind it makes sense, I can guarantee you that S;G has one of the most scientifically accurate interpretation of possible backwards time travel in anime...no any show. Only movies like Interstellar are more scientifically accurate. If you find time travel uninteresting then that's just your taste, the show didn't fail to pique your interest, you just have different interests. More importantly, I highly disagree with your assertion that 'Japanese writing' sucks. If you haven't seen shows like Planetes, Spice and Wolf, Bakuman, Rakugo, LOTGH, Death Note, Sangatsu no Lion, Code Geass, Ghost in the Shell, Fate/Zero, Oregairu, Samurai Champloo, Terror in Resonance, Mob Psycho 100 or any Ghibli/Makoto Shinkai film then you have no right to even assert that American shows are better. Avatar, Samurai Jack, Regular show etc., are all 'well-written' (whatever that means) but that doesn't make American cartoons any better. In fact most of them are highly similar/generic because cartoons are targeted squarely at children. Anime is the only medium that expresses a huge dynamic array of genres through 2D animation. From Hentai to Sci-fi. If you take a scoop of water from the ocean you can't then conclude that whales do not exist. You need a bigger sample. Start watching the shows I've listed here and then see whether or not Japanese writing is worse. Excellent reply even though I dont agree with your liking of steins gate. I hated baccano too so possibly I just hate plots around time travel. But I have seen death note and code geass and loved the writing for both. I just mean that there is like 100 animes for every good story opposed to 1 out of 3 for like american series. I do plan to watch spice and wolf and lotgh eventually, they both seem interesting. |
| Most probably because they don't care about the plot but rather make stuff that will sell. If the fans like a certain character they add in more fan-service scenes involving that character, they'll try to give him/her a prominent spot an make their role seem even more important to please the fans. And then to hell with the other characters and plot. Another thing might be using generic tropes and cliches most probably when they are stuck somewhere or simply to please the fans by satisfying their imagination. Unfortunately, its always the shitty tsunders that gain favoritism and have the upper hand either ways :( I don't like American animation btw, even if not all anime may be great, Japan still has a wider variety. |

kingraptor724 said: This thread was suppose to be about how japanese make far worse writers than americans. Ignoring hollywood movies though, most are trash. Alright, this is a blanket statement. Go read novels by Haruki Murakami, Yasunari Kawabata, and Yukio Mishima. Then come back and say that Japanese writers are crap. Seriously. Sturgeon's Law, man. 90% of everything is crap. The only reason it seems like so much anime is crap is because there's so much more of it now than ever before. Granted, I'd argue that the corporate mill that churns out these shows for mass consumption is failing to do anything really interesting right now and that the majority of Japanese pop culture is disposable by design. That's good for business but it is no different than how Hollywood has been operating for decades. You have to search for good stuff nowadays because whereas once the cream would rise to the top, currently the mass of mediocrity buries and obfuscates the meritorious. Yeah, anime might be stagnating but the "Galapagos Syndrome" has a lot to do with that and stagnating does not mean "descending into garbage." As for MAL rankings? Yeah, don't take them seriously. The site administrators had to make it so that you couldn't rate a show that hasn't yet aired because Attack on Titan Season 2 topped the charts over a year before it was released. So yeah, anybody who tells you that you can take MAL rankings seriously wants to stay in their safe space and will do whatever it takes to preserve it. Also, put your own opinions in check a bit. Arguing taste is ridiculous because taste is one of those things that is totally subjective. Just because you like or dislike something doesn't make it bad. There's a chance that you just didn't "get" it. Lots of anime out there are bad but lots are also misunderstood and get lower scores than they deserve. |
kingraptor724 said: SuperRed said: You and your 20 completions sure gives your opinion a lot of weight. If you noticed alot of my list is animes on top of MAL, so it doesnt take like 400 animes to realize this is the best anime Japan can bring out. The best that Japan brings to us will NEVER be found in MAL's top 20, bc most people (like me) would rather be entertained than have their brain cells tickled. It's just how things work. If you're so picky, search for Josei and Seinen anime with 8+ ratings. You'll see what Japan can truly offer. |

Darek said: kingraptor724 said: Here we go again, no arguments just buzzwords. Come on, explain to me in detail then, how is death note a masterpiece? I wanna hear about its excellent writing, directing, 3 dimensional characters, amazing development and morally ambiguous questions that make you consider what is good and bad.And do you think anyone takes you seriously rating the best cat and mouse show ever created as a 3? Death note was a master piece before L died. Also here is a funny thing tho I know you, just like any other MAL pleb will try to twist around. I never said anything about writing in here, I did not stated I rate my anime critically to begin with. While you talk big about it all while not applying it in practice in any shape of form, again, I wanna hear arguments, not one liners and buzzwords/phrases.

Well it is true that most anime shows are pretty bad or not 'well-written' but the number of really great shows in this Medium alone is already quite high compared to American cartoons. I don't really see this as a flaw since great, unique, well-written shows are very hard to produce, market and sell. Most anime is made to be sold as entertainment and most people are entertained by simple, generic type shows like comedy, romance, drama, action-thrillers, and let's not forget the elephant in the room: Ecchi. So it should be unsurprising to find a medium like Anime to make so many 'dumb' shows that are made to be sold or enjoyed. Also a well-written show doesn't mean everyone who watches it will like it because they are generally more complex to truly understand. This is probably why Ghost in the Shell is not as famous as Attack on Titan. The fact that there are so many hidden gems and well-produced/meaningful shows in this Medium that pumps so many shows every season and employs underpaid workers, producers, directors etc., is a testament to the strength of the industry (and hence their writing talent) not their weakness. This is just my point of view on the matter anyway. |

| If you want more diversity I suggest reading manga more. Sadly because the industry is the way it is they won't produce something unless it has a cookie cutter format. You may find manga to have a more unique stand point on things. You will also get internal character conflicts you don't really see in anime(but is common in western animation). As far as your list of seen, I would say the problem is that there are some gem animes that just don't rank high with the MAL community. Maybe checking out some Anime Youtubers recommendations will help you find something more you are seeking? |

Simply trawl back in time season by season and scope out shows that you think are great. No easy feat I'll tell you. After watching more than 6000 episodes of anime I've only amassed maybe around 50 truly great shows. Not a big deal. All of these shows were highly entertaining and interesting to watch and unlike most of the scrubs on MAL I wouldn't want things to change in the industry. Let Japan do Japan and let the market forces run their course. If anything the real flaw of this industry is their annoying tendency to not make complete adaptations. Whether that will change or not is entirely upto the demands of the Japanese audience anyway. |

Um. Both? Are you trying to imply that either Ghost in the Shell or a Makoto Shinkai film are not well-written? A show that deals with Sci-Fi, Mystery, Police, Psychological, Philosophical genres/themes is the complete opposite of a Romance, Tear-jerker (a highly generic direction). The fact that Makoto Shinkai can make 'feels' stories without making them epicly stupid (like Anohana) is a testament to how well-written his movies are. |
| You listing of a single good American TV show to justify your blanket statement ensures your lack of basis for this entire claim. If you aren't willing to gather a considerable amount of experience in a particular medium, then you're in no place to project this kind of farce. There's really nothing more to say here.
