I don't know if these examples are from real shows or just examples you made on the spot since I don't recognize them.No. When someone says something disrespects their intelligence it is not saying they are asking for a show to be smart, but to respect them as a viewer. A show that expects you to love a murder who has killed 50 ppl because she didn't get a cookie from her mother and then treats her like a victim and act nothing is her fault when out of her own volition she picked up a AK-47 that she stole from a guy she has killed to shoot people. Thats insulting someones intelligence. Another instance is a show that stated Water negate fire Then 5 seconds later Water doesn't negate Fire and the show tells you to never question it because they put themselves in a corner and can't advance the plot without the contrivance. But well, if a show does that kind of thing, does it still mean that it is insulting your intelligence as a viewer? If a show expects you to love a murderer who has been presented in such a way, I would find that pretty weird. I have never seen a show where the show expects you to love a character that's been made to seen as a horrible character. For the fire/water one, that's just bad plot point. I don't see how that disrespects your intelligence. It's a badly thought out thing and that's that. I don't even know what would count as "disrespecting" or "insulting" your intelligence. At least for one, I have never come across any show that would insult my intelligence. I mean, I haven't felt that any show has insulted my intelligence. Do you perhaps have a suggestion of a show that disrespects your intelligence and would you recommend it to me so I could experience it so I could have a little bit more material to argue with. These are shows I made up. Elfen Lied is a show I felt insulted my intelligence. Your response makes a bit of sense as you include the possibility of that being the show's intention. So I need to be more clear. A show that intends for this character to be a victim, but it gives no reason to why the audience should feel this way. It doesn't attempt and just forces the plot point or narrative to be that way. Then makes a theme that people like that character are never the problem, but the people who don't kiss that character's ass. Fire/Water point to me is insulting my intelligence because it's not respecting me as a viewer. You've given me knowledge of your world and then for no reason contradict it and then let me add that I didn't add before to where they make it seem SMART that one person used fire to counteract water when according to the rules of this world that is bullshit. |

| No, I don't think the majority of anime I watch are trash, but at the same time I like anime for what it is. It doesn't need to be anything else! Though, I will admit the fanbase can as a group reflect they hate most of what they watch or self hate. |

There's the power of friendship that overpowers any other power in a show, there's the dense main characters and also plot armor. All kinds of things are possible |

I mean it's how one perceives it really. I wonder about the OP's issue. He says "everyone keeps watching them" who is everyone? Anyway, here is something I stated one time and thats online Anime Communities are not a representation of everyone who watches anime. |

| Most people have few standards because they don't like engaging in critical discussion/thinking. It's quite scary. That's a bummer. Critiquing art is the most fun thing about it. |
| WEAPONS - My blog, for reviews of music, anime, books, and other things |
| Maybe you shouldn't make generalizations I tend to be fairly lenient in my ratings but still it doesn't mean I don't have standards. Fact there is just way way more anime coming out than say in the 90's and more glut means more quick cash ins as they need to recoup their animation costs and honestly just because something is a tad overdone doesn't mean it can't be entertaining or even well put together as MHA has indicated to many people. Even still if there is one good anime a year I call that a win. Fill out your entire MAL and then I am pretty sure someone will be able to recommend something to you. If not then I guess you should just quit this medium permanently. Secondly don't act like older anime didn't have its share of bad series Thirdly there are tons of great titles that have come out recently A Silent Voice, MIA, Psycho Pass or March Comes in Like A Lion for instance maybe you need to expand your horizon more.... Though we don't even know what specific trends or things you don't like or like go update your MAL with your drop list and all and then maybe people can help you in that regard. You need to specify what Western works you like, thematics etc. Fourthly your citing Gigguk's you know he is being sarcastic right? He doesn't look at the current industry in that way. Finally every entertainment media has its trends. You aren't going to escape it manga/anime have battle shonen's Hollywood has superhero movies. It doesn't mean though you can't find something new every year in either medium but creating something that gives off a new experience is incredibly hard and rare. |

And what is your genuine opinion on the particular shows uve watched because being generic and over generalizing is the same as saying all anime is garbage except the 3 on my list and everyone is lame Oh and the videos you linked were sarcastic incase you havent figured it out |
| Also as far as standards go, setting the bar too high is just as bad as setting it too low. Everything in moderation. |

SpaceVoyager said: SupremeEdgelord said: OP, you depict yourself like some sort of super-intellectual hyper pretentious all-knowing elitist but yet you compare cartoons mainly aimed to young boys to reading philosophy books. How many chances there are that you picked those three shows in your list only because nobody can't attack them and not because you like them? So you don't have any argument besides insults? Good. Nillwas92 said: Hahaha, this is the best thing i have ever read when it comes to anime. U watched some youtubes videos about top 10 animes, I'm sorry but the world dosent work like that. If u search after top 10 animes on google/utube or where u are searching u will just find alot of shit after shit. If u want to watch good old animes u shoud go into a elite group on facebook etc Anime Tea-Drinking Club. Where ppl praise what is good and not what is a shit. Each season something good it comes out, I'm a big fking casual but I do watch everything that i can watch everything from hentai to 80s anime to the newest anime. Alot of ppl is just watching shit and becomes stupid thx to this. They can't understand anything, only that SAO is the best anime ever made. Or ecchi, harem is something god created and can't lose to anything. Give me a friendrequest if u want some tips on what to watch. Even if im the biggest casual out there. I'm not stupid enough to praise something that is bad or join a Sword Art Online cult to take over the world. Im in a group on facebook that is called KAC. Alot of ppl in there only watch the new stuff and dont care about anything else. If u do say that show is bad, a new World War starts. Thats how the world works atm. Best thing is to ignor the ppl u think is stupid and try to find a group somewhere were u can talk and ask ppl for recommendation tjat works for you I'll consider what you said. Thanks. kisb said: well you are a complete dumb dumb if you think you made any point.

Who's being sarcastic, me or people here? Not everyone agrees its trash I don't as much as I would like certain trends and art styles from the 90's resurface and I think there has been a slight momentum of recent late(Megalo Box, B the Beginning and Devilman feel 90's to me even though I am hardly an expert on older anime and haven't seen either one yet) I like how anime is now personally. I mean if you go on say reddit anime lots of people have an aversion to older series and have tried in the past to get into them and didn't like them. I have seen people say I am not huge fan of Cowboy Bebop or I don't like 90's anime so keep the recommendations more recent. If I had to be honest most anime I like comes from the mid 2000's to present even though there are some older anime I hold dear to my heart. Not to mention I would also say most Western anime fans mostly watch series released within the last 10 years outside of a few classics like Cowboy Bebop and DBZ. Its just your taste and we can't give recommendations if you haven't updated your profile thats the whole point to know what you have watched. It comes off as bad taste saying outside of three shows everything else sucks you come off as extremely close minded. Maybe try manga stuff like Vinland Saga, Kingdom maybe The Promised Neverland(haven't read this one yet) it might be the ticket for you. Overall manga tends to have more original works since its a lower cost to produce and therefore less risky. |

Pullman said: EcchiGodMamsterP said: at least one reason is because the anime community is full of edgy and insecure people, so they like to use anime as a way to vent their feelings and "prove themselves" so they complain if they think they can't an take anime seriously those people imo completely take the fun out of it, at the end of the day, its just a cartoon, calm down Not sure you two are talking about the same thing? Taking specific anime seriously or not is one thing, but being 'serious' about anim (and by extension your hobbies, your passions in general) and getting annoyed when people talk bullshit about them or generalize based on shitty youtube videos is a different thing and what I think he was referring to. And I don't get the attitude that it is somehow a bad thing that you care about anime if it's one of your passions and not just treat it like a meme factory that as a whole can't and shouldn't be taken seriously at all. It's like you're not allowed to care or be serious about anything or people will make fun of you. That's a much bigger attitude problem I see in the community than people wanting to take specific shows seriously when they arguably aren't meant to be taken seriously in the first place. oh , don't get me wrong Pullman , I fucking love anime , and being serious about your hobbies is ok imo , I mean , I'm serious about this , but I feel users like OP take things too far , they'll complain about everything , if you watch dubbed anime you're wrong , if you use Crunchyroll you're wrong , if you like modern anime you're wrong , if this anime isn't LOGH you're wasting your time , like chill dude , this is anime , a form of entertainment , not your fucking university graduation thesis, I feel they can't even watch an anime without complaining about how the characters' eyebrows look when they're talking. |
| I think adding more anime to your profile would help your point or make this discussion more reasonable. Stuff you find on top 10's are never going to help you by the way. Though a few may. Recent anime may not be your cup of tea. There are also a lot of anime that have aired before 2018/2017. Finding the 'good'/'intelligent' anime will ease your pain until there are actually 'intelligent' seasonals. I assure you there are quite a few. More than a few in my opinion. Why modern fans have no standards beats me. Maybe they just enjoy everything that comes their way like I do. I do however, love my edgy/'intelligent' anime, and want more. But I have accepted that japan isn't gonna make a ton like I want too. There have been good seasonals like Made in Abyss, Girl's Last Tour, Shouwa Genroku, etc though, so. |

SpaceVoyager said: So wanting to se something new, i googled, read, informed myself and also watched a lot of top ten videos of the show generally considered to be the best ones and some videos about the latest ones that came out in the past years. Useless to say that i was really disappointed in what i found: the majority of top tens had the same few old shows over and over and the videos about modern shows were filled with nothing but stuff that looked like an insult to everyone's intelligence. So basically, you looked up OPINION based lists of 'the best' anime, and was disappointed when what other people considered the best didn't live up to your expectations, so you decided to take it out on all the anime? Dude, you do realize that there is no such thing as 'the best' anime just because a few people say it's the best. That's their OPINION. If you decided to watch an anime because someone said it's the best one, you will be disappointed, because you will go into the anime with high expectations that the anime won't meet. This is EXACTLY why I, myself, don't read reviews before I watch something. There are plenty of anime out there. Whether you think it's good or not is you're choice but I don't recommend you reading opinions or looking up lists before you watch or you will automatically have certain expectations the anime won't meet. Take it from me: going into an anime with an open mind and clear of exceptions makes a difference than going to an anime you think is the best just because someone told you it was and get irritated (and make threads like this bashing people on their standards) just because something didn't work out for you. It's you're own damn fault you decided to look stuff up before watching something. |

Who's being sarcastic, me or people here? I mean that's why it cycles back to you should update your list or even at the bare minimum just list the Top 10 anime instead of advertising a video with the only context being "hey here's 2 top 10 videos." Even in your post you implied that you had a myriad of different sources of different formats but you poorly listed only 2. Even excluding the basis of taking opinions from a Youtube comments section did you do the next obvious step and read reviews of people who did enjoy the series to see if they could articulate it? Or did you genuinely take Youtube comments as a serious basis for discussion? You're literally making broad generalizations using an extremely vague basis and the only resource and argument you've presented is effectively "just trust me on this I totally have a ton of research and experience." Ignoring aspects like how your timeline based on the only shows you've considered to be good ranges from 1995-2010 am I to understand that you consider nothing post 2010 to be good and conversely everything earlier than 1995 to be trash? The obvious question would then be what makes 2010 so much better than 2011 is it because it has one of your favorite shows? Because that would be a pretty shallow basis not to mention defeat the idea that older anime had higher standards if there wasn't anything good until 1995. Mathematically that would be like 30ish years of frequently produced series that had nothing good vs 7 years of nothing good yet you're claiming modern anime is the problem. |

There's a bunch of psychological reasons why people act like that, I'd say. I'd even say they aren't that serious about anime at all, they're just serious about forcing their taste on others and anime is merely a medium for that. They care more about everything being according to their narrow preferences than about watching and enjoying an anime for what it is - sometimes a philosophical essay or intense character study, but a lot of the times also just casual entertainment that comes with different tropes attached depending on the genre. Or to put it differently, it's just their basic personalities shining through. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |

it never was a good meme, stop it already |
| I agree, modern anime is complete garbage. The great classics were much better, such as Devilman: Crybaby. |
Eh? Is this a meme? I'm not meme-ing (is that a word) but I'm telling it like it is: Japan REALLY doesn't care at all about what people outside their country want to see in anime so it's pointless to bitch about it. For example, I would LIKE to see them stop writing rape into 'romance' manga......but they are only going to keep writing what sells. What I want has no value to them. |

| "People like things I don't like, therefore it's a problem because I clearly have superior tastes" Something tells me this is identical to the "I was born in the wrong generation and music 30 years ago was much better than it is now" Why bother making incorrect and stupid assumptions about people who watch anime?

| Your opinion =/= fact; just because you found something to be “unenjoyable” doesn’t automatically make it shitty or diminishing of the watchers intelligence. And I really don’t get the reason to be so passive aggressive. It makes sense that people are being rude to you, as you were just rude to them, essentially saying that they don’t know how to value anime, as if there is an objective way to put a value on it. I don’t really get how to quote and use myanimelist, so I’ll just format it MLA formatting: “Everyone has fun in its own way. Some have fun playing chess, like me, many others find it boring.” (space voyager) If you think that everyone can enjoy things their own way, then it’s hypocritical to then say that everyone has shit taste or that the shows they like insults their intelligence. And if you think that it’s ok to insult other people for having preferences and that they can only like shows so long as they accept that other people dislike that show, then it’s hypocritical to defend the shows you like or say that other people can’t judge YOU based on the shows YOU have watched. Unless you can somehow prove that you are in fact God or that you have some right to entitlement that makes your taste automatically better than everyone else’s, you should stop being blatantly controversial or contrary to the forum you are posting to. |

| lmao at everybody getting butthurt Genuine post or not, it's true. People LITERALLY defend anime by telling people not to think about it. Don't reflect on or form thoughts about the auditory and visual content you are currently watching. There are no metrics by which to measure or articulate the quality of fiction. "Just enjoy it", as if that actually means anything. Truth is there are quite a bit of people who say the equivalent of "I stare blankly at a screen with flashing colors and loud noises and not a single thing actually goes through my mind about any of it" with relentless enthusiasm, vigor, and pride. Anime, and perhaps all forms of fiction, are the equivalent of watching a firework display. Or shiny keys being dangled in front of their eyes. Pure sensory stimulation, received with a gaping mouth and clapping hands. Just enjoy it. |
