In reply to this thread.http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1459555 if this was the case, why would it be so hard to believe? Do you guys actually believe that people with similar taste to yours or to your belief know a good anime from a bad anime will like everything that you like? Or vice versa?

For eg. ABe, Yoshitoshi, http://myanimelist.net/people/1991/Yoshitoshi_ABe the creater of haibane renmai and serial experimental Lain is a big snk fan. He tweeted in August how much he enjoyed reading snk volume 17 after its release.

To the serial lain fans "which ironically is consist of mostly elitist" who don't like snk, do you lose some respect from him, just because of that? Hopefully not. So I don't see why people would think it would be the end of the world if Miyazaki actually said that he liked sao.

The world isn't as one dimensional as you think guys.

I'll just sit here and laugh at all the close-minded fucks who would lose respect for someone based on what they do and don't enjoy. They can all have fun with their petty lives.

There's an important thing called context. SAO is the embodiment of otaku culture and Miyazaki would have to be blind deaf and dumb to say he likes the show despite his obvious stance against said group.

But what if he likes it despite his stance against that group because he can separate both. So, therefore it would be so hard to believe that he likes SAO.

I lost respect for ABe Yoshitoshi when I couldn't even watch Lain, Haibane and Nien are still good though. Still don't compare AoT to SAO, there's jumping one too many sharks in the world building and then there's making the main character overpowered because actual gamering nerds didn't buy the game and giving him all the girls because you only played a video game for a day and don't know how romance works but you decided to rip off .hack and have them get married anyways. I still think most people who like objectively "good" things tend to like other good things minus a few they just can't get over (like I said, Lain is just too weird but his other stuff is good and I also really enjoyed Wolf's Rain).

If SAO is good by his standards.
But it doesnt matter. The way he works and does, doesnt mean he cant like SAO or something brainless for that matter. He can still make something like Mononoke Hime but still like SAO for others reasons which are not the same ones he made Mononoke Hime.

Who gives a shit about what other people think?

Lain is one of my favorite anime, but I don't care that it's creator has "sub par" tastes. I don't have anything against SNK, anyway.

I also love NGE, but Anno is an asshole, so what are ya gonna do.

Does he criticize Anime of that sort or does he only criticize the group being that Fanbase? Because as far as i see it, he dislikes Otaku (specifically what he calls "Gun Otaku") but doesnt seem that the same goes for the anime itself

This article leads me to believe that he opposes unrealistic portrayals of human beings. He specifically says
"Whether you can draw like this or not, being able to think up this kind of design, depends on whether or not you can say to yourself, 'Oh, yeah, girls like this exist in real life.'"

There's a difference between giving criticism for the sake of being critical, and being critical with a purpose. Not all criticisms are well done. There are some youtubers that do nothing but yell into their microphone for 10+ minutes about a particular anime, and then there are some youtubers that go into great detail on what the issue that they have with a particular show is.

No it's not lol. It depends on it's application and the motivation behind it. Being something just for the sake of it, is never good in any context.

What I find funny is whether they accept it or not, be self hating or not. At least have the self awareness that the negative venting is extremely pointless. Because your voice is not heard because your voice is irrelevant.

I'm all for criticism if it's constructive and with a purpose. But from my personal experience those who complain a lot, do it for the sake of being toxic. They just want their opinions validated no matter what. They need their worth to be elevated. A lot of insecurity and such.

It may be just cultural differences. Self entitlement, self hating, being loud, etc, is stuff that I see beyond the western anime community, and in any western online community. I find it puzzling.

I think there is a bit more than that. What he is criticizing is a bit unfair. Because he is criticizing the realism in the character development, which is ok, but at the same time he is saying that the people who made such characters are all otaku. And there is my problem with it because he is just generalising too much for his benefit

You couldn't shut up about your hate for the first Avengers movie and Thor and how the X men movies are the only good Marvel movies. You even bashed the MCU on your alt, that kind of screams obsession. Only recently that's why I said former, you actually were negative about them at first with the trailers before actually watching the movies (Antman and Age of Ultron). Your hate before is what I would definitely call an obsession. Posts like these were also hating just for the sake of hating.

Don't really get the example with ABe. He is mainly a character designer. Don't think he was involved much in the story for Lain and also Texhnolyze. I think only Haibane Renmei was where he did the story. People don't really treat him as some kind of genius anime writer/director like Miyazaki and mostly like him as a character designer.

Did you even look first? He is the original creator of serial lain and renmai. Serial lain is one of the most acclaimed series when it comes to the elitist group. I thought it was a perfect example to use. Anyways that's not the point here.

Also I only included the snk part, so I could have a legit example. Than a what if example.

He did the character designs for both Lain and Renmei. He only did the story for Renmei. The story for Lain was handled by this guy http://myanimelist.net/people/6160/Konaka_Chiaki and this guy I think http://myanimelist.net/people/13223/Ueda_Yasayuki.

You can even look at ABe's wikipedia page and he is not credited as a writer and only as a character designer for Lain.

Serial Experiments Lain was not written by Yoshitoshi ABe, it was Chiaki Konaka. His original creation was Haibane Renmei. He for the most part is the lead character designer on most of his Anime products, but he also is responsible for manga and artbooks that are often bundled or sold separately in the titles he has worked on. Also I have no idea why him liking Attack on Titan really matters? It is possible to separate people's taste from their creations.
