| Tsubasa Chronicle 2nd Season: yep manga is way better and thats coming from someone that cant stand reading manga Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu: the less haruhi love in the world the more closer we are to world peace oh and for those of you that will go after me, let me just make this easy for you, the only shows i have less than a 5 are hidan no aria, hoshizora, and kimi ga nozomi, oh and school days |
celestialocean said: Magic Knight Rayearth (Rated: 4) - Not my favorite CLAMP series, but it was one of my first, so it has sentimental value for me. Even aside from that, though, I think it's a pretty good series. The manga's incredible! One of the few manga I've bought and read from beginning to end. But it's only 15 chapters/600 pages, and for the life of me I can't understand why they felt the need to pad that out to 20 episodes/10 hours of animation? (With an animation budget that couldn't even begin to hold a candle to the original, I gotta say.) My only complaint, really. |
| damn it i hate being skipped rahXephon dropped at 1 ep.......what duh fuck actually alot of shows dropped at 1 episode.......what the fuck why the hell do you base shows off one ep, do you even see ANY good shows if you do that cause its almost always occurant in a good show that the first episode is meh due to it setting itself up and for those of you that will go after me AND NOT SKIP ME THIS TIME, let me just make this easy for you, the only shows i have less than a 5 are hidan no aria, hoshizora, and kimi ga nozomi, oh and school days |

| K-ON! DROPPED AND RATED A 5? Are you broken? I *facepalm* at your inability to comprehend moé at its finest. Hidan no Aria: 4/10 <_<. It exists for loli and for fanservice. I get the feeling that you care for neither. Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi: 3/10 I guess you dislike harems too <_<. I am disappoint that you also dislike loli. |
| Everything needs more fanservice. Especially real life. |
| Nichijou: 5/10 I like it, but the humor is off-beat so it's not really for everyone. Plus, some of the characters are similar to other Slice of Life like Azumanga. Oretachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai: 1/10 Boooo! That's one of my favorites. Great for a harem series. Loved the story/characters. |

I couldn't help but reply about Rayearth. I... can't really comment about your shows under 5, because I haven't seen any of them to be honest with you. You kinda have an unfair advantage in this game because you seem to overrate everything a little. Check out your stats: Mean Score: 9.4 ... Mean Score: 8.4 ... Mean Score: 4.0 Those are pretty high for averages... You don't give people in this thread much to work with. As for RahXephon and the other 1 ep drops... I've been in and out of various anime club type things since HS, so I've seen single eps of all kinds of stuff that I'm pretty sure is just not for me. I see one episode because the opportunity presents itself, but didn't necessarily seek out the show on purpose or anything, so I hope that helps explain things. RahXephon in particular, I was a little skeptical about at first because of how obviously similar it was to Evangelion. My opinion of it has softened over the years based on other people's comments, but I've never had a chance to get back to it. I'll give RahXephon another shot one day. :P |
| @ case649 Hmmm lets see @ case 649 .hack the legend of twilight: Understandable, pretty damn generic. Its manga was actually the first I ever read so it has something a little special to me. But ya its pretty bland. Baccano : Wait really a 5? I mean... I know that you may think its overrated, and it has its flaws but putting it as the same level as Green Green??? Cromartie High: Rawr lern2comedy! Not everyones cup o tea I guess but personally i can't see how someone couldn't find that funny. Fruits Basket : yes I agree, Fruits basket has a decent plot I guess, but its dragged down by a large cast of very VERY annoying cliche Shoujo characters (especially the leads), with only a few side characters being somewhat redeeming Elemental Gelade: Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.... Oh well. Your loss; the less people that like that show, the more I feel off the cuff and edgy >.> Green Green : This was boring and not funny at all. Probably deserves less than a 5. Hayate no Gotoku : Hayate no gotoku, despite carrying the most despicable character of all time, I did not find to be that bad. It was sufficiently funny at least... enough to bother finishing it. That only applies to the first season mind you. Still I can't argue with you giving it a 5 Pani Poni Dash : yes that was rather un-inspired wasn't it School Rumble : See comments on cromartie high Sumomomo momo mo (how ever many bloody mo's there are) : Meh, ya it wasn't anything special. I agree Sunabozu a.k.a desert punk: yet another comedic gem you've dashed Trigun : Ooooo. Hmmmm I don't particularly care bout this show a lot but I think it was rather well made. Don't think it deserves a score that low but I don't really care either |

| @leingodf8 (This is of course just my opinion, I hope I don't make anyone angry) .hack//Unison - Makes sense. That was pretty crappy. I didn't like it much either. Beelzebub - Really? I don't think its that bad, it's kinda repetitive and there isn't a ton of plot progression...but its entertaining to watch in my opinion. Final Fantasy VII Advent Children - No way!! I freaking love that movie SO much! Its one of the only anime movies that I was willing to buy. I love the art, I think everything is so beautifully made! And the story, even though its a bit confusing in some ways, is really well written and awesome! Fruits Basket - Thats another one that that I liked. Not a TON but I thought it was funny and kind of cute. The ending was crap though XD Full Metal Panic! - Whoa! Whoa! Really!? Thats one of my favoritest shows of all time! I love the characters and the story! I think its one of the best shows ever made! Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou - That makes sense. I didn't like that series. The battles were pathetic, too short and boring. The fanservice was over the top. And the ending of the show was stupid. Kampfer - I didn't like that show much either. I can understand why you hated it. All together it was just a failure of a show. Mobile Suit Gundam 00 - I thought that show was pretty good (compared to some of the other Gundam shows by far) I thought the story wasn't too bad and the action was pretty well done. Rosario + Vampire - I didn't like that show much. I'm not a fan of ecchi shows usually... Shakugan no Shana - Hmmm...hard to decide on this one. I mean, I can definitely understand why some people wouldn't like it, it really lacked a good story, but there were times when I thought it was good. So I gave it a higher score. Soul Eater - This show is probably one of those either love it or hate it... I personally thought it was a great show! Until the end when the creators butchered everything completely. |
| @SerenityB3128 Petshop of Horrors-Gotta admit, the 4 eps of anime did the original manga justice, except for only being 4 eps I mean. The manga is fantastic though, but if you didn't like the OVA, can't imagine you'd like the manga. Manga is better though. Mars of Destruction-haha, man! I love MoD precisely because it's so damn bad! But yeah, it is bad, hilariously so. Fushigi Yugi-can't speak for the anime, but the manga? Yeah, it started boring me to tears pretty quickly, I think I was able to deal with 3 vols |
| @FallnKnightFakir Eden of the East (Rated: 2) - Wow, totally disagree on this one. The animation/art was incredible, and I found the story intriguing. Howl's Moving Castle (Rated: 3) - Also strongly disagree. This is one of my favorite animated films. Jigoku Shoujo (Rated: 5) - It got a bit repetitive, but I enjoyed it overall. I loved the dark storyline and the beautiful art. Princess Mononoke (Rated: 4) - I disagree yet again. However, I'm sensing that Miyazaki movies in general don't over so well with you. :) Spirited Away (Rated: 3) - My favorite Miyazaki film. I admit that I didn't get it as much the first time I watched it, but I think I've loved it a little more each time I've watched it since. I guess our taste is pretty different. Although, you do like two of my favorites - Revolutionary Girl Utena and Princess Tutu. :) |
| @celestialocean Bleach - Yup, same rating as mine. Show is quite bad. Love Hina - I can see where you're going. I give it credit for being (one of) the show(s) that made the unwanted harem popular and one of the first shows (of that genre anyway) I've seen. Aishiteruze Baby - Agreed. Pretty boring. Rated it with a five, too. Haruhi - Well, no. |
| @ grandy_UiD Bleach: I agree. Naruto Shippuden: Yeah, pretty boring stuff. Kanokon: This is garbage, whole heartily agree. To Love Ru: More fanservice crap. Yosuga no Sora: Yeah, isn't that great. Haruhi 2009: That 8. Jigoku Shoujo: I dropped it after one episode, but I may pick it up again. It was pretty boring and not scary. |
| @TowardsTheStars Naruto- 3? Really? C'mon, it deserves more than that. It's not the best thing since sex, but still. NGE- I'm on episode 24 (just watched) and I'm so freaking confused right now! Sailor Moon- Meh. Repeated transformations FTW Suzumiya (2009)- I'm planning on watching this so... Both Yu-Gi-Oh! were actually good. I just didn't like the whole comercial feel, but it was good. I don't know/haven't watched the other ones. |
| @Tiago97 Bleach: I didn't really think it was fantastic, so I can understand why you would give it a low rating. I liked it a bit more than you did though, but then again I dropped it after soul society. Code Geass: Another show I kinda enjoyed, but still found lots of flaws in. So yeah, I won't complain about your rating. Fairy Tail: I have only seen a couple of episodes so I'm not sure what to think about it. I wasn't too impressed by the few episodes I did watch though, so I wouldn't really be surprised if I agree with you. All in all, your low ratings (among the series I have seen at least) are completely understandable to me. |
| @HydraA Gintama- 5? I disagree, but "I won't complain about your rating". Beck deserves more than a 5. Especially 'cause of it's awesome final episodes. (except 26, than one wasn't that great) Code Geass R2: I hate CG, I didn't even finish the first one. D.Gray-man: Another one of the animes I dropped, it's completely understandable. Naruto S: Now I think people are underestimating Naruto. EDIT: Fairy Tail is just generic... "All in all, your low ratings (among the series I have seen at least) are completely understandable to me." ^^ |
| @HydraA School days:I understand this show isn't the greatest anime ever made, but I think you rated it way too low. Toradora: Yes its overrated but a 3 seriously?? I don't know how anyone with the right mind can give this show a 3. Higurashi no Naku kori ni: This show was so interesting to watch. Maybe if your not a fan of mystery or thriller, then I understand why you rated it so slow. But why would you even watch it if your not a fan of that genre. Code Geass R2: I personally think this is one of the best animes of all time. No clue how you gave this a 5. Full Metal panic: Finally a rating I can sort of agree on. I think it deserves higher then a 5 but I can see why you gave it such a low rating. Anyways I pretty much disagree with all the show you have given 5 or under. @Tiago97 Dragon ball gt: Makes sense. Wasn't too good I sort of enjoyed it but it's not surprising at all to see someone give it a 5. Code Geass: You gave this a low rating, but looks like it just wasn't your type of show from the shows you watch. Think you'll enjoy it more when you get older. |
Ragna92Aug 13, 2011 5:33 PM

| @ Ragna92 Beyblade: Even though I liked it at the time, I understand such a rating. The second season is much better. Maria Holic: I liked it, but I can see why someone would dislike this anime. Final Fantasy The Spirits Within: I agree, this movie was a total bore. Mars Of Destruction: lol, it deserves more than a 1. It's really bad, but very hilarious too. |
 watching, waiting, commiserating |
| @RenaPsychoKiller 5 cms per second - 4 - I loved it. Sorry, can't agree with you here, thought it was a beautiful movie. Akira - 4 - Can't agree here either. Was a long time ago I saw the movie, but I remember that I liked it at least. Azumanga - 3 - Once again, I really can't agree. I thought the humour was funny and the character likable. Capeta - 3 - I guess I can understand that, even if I kind of like it. Some scenes and characters were just ridiculous, but at the same time it had its moments that made me give it a passing grade. Dragon Ball - 1 - I thought it was funny and entertaining, but then again I kind of like the genre. Can understand the low rating, even if a 1 sounds a bit too low to me. DBZ - 1 - Couldn't agree more. Worst pacing in an anime ever, dropped it out of pure frustration after way too many episodes. Fullmetal Alchemist - 4 - Thank you, finally someone who agrees with me on this one. Did not like this show, it tried to be dark but failed, and the mini-arcs that the plot consists of are just so uninteresting. Gantz 1 and 2 - 4 - Nope, don't agree. But then again I might be a bit biased because I love the manga which is way better. Grave of the fireflies - 4 - My favourite movie from Ghibli, so needless to say I disagree. This movie really got to me. Hana yori dango - 3 - Yeah, I didn't really find it that good either. I couldn't really get into it, and I didn't even like the male leads so the romance was just so uninteresting. K-ON - 4 - Agree. Nothing happens, and the characters and their interactions does not make up for it. Lucky Star - 1 - Way too low rating, even if I can kind of understand it. But in this show I kind of thought the characters and the humour made it worthwile to watch even though the plot is nonexistent. Nabari No Ou - 4 - Yeah, I hate this show. Seriously, the fucking characters... One Piece - 3 - Man, one of my all time favourite shows. Love the plot, humour, setting and characters. So yeah, HUGE disagree here. >:I Touch - 1 - You be trollin now. O_O EDIT: Forgot to mention Naruto and Shippuuden. I really can't agree with giving Shippuuden a higher grade than the first series. But I agree with giving at least Shippuuden a low rating. |
HydraAAug 13, 2011 7:00 PM
| @ HydraA I hated a series that you loved, so I must be trolling? How mature of you. Gintama: Far from being awesome, I agree with your score. Full Metal Panic: Even if I liked it, yes, the first season is rather mediocre, especially if compared with the following 2. School Rumble Ni Gakki: I really like School Rumble, and the second term is as good as the first for me. KON: I despise moe and slice of life, so I obviously don't care about this anime. Baccano specials: I loved them as much as the anime. Lovely end to a great show. Beck: I rated it slightly higher, but I agree that it's pretty flawed, and becomes boring if you watch it more than once. D.Gray-Man: One of the very few shounen series that I like. Black Lagoon: Best action series ever made, imo. Higurashi: Best horror series ever made, imo. School Days: A disgrace. Nabari No Ou: Starts well, becomes irritating and boring. Hanayori Dango: Never liked this one, I find it very overrated. Full Metal Alchemist: As above. I don't see anything great about it. Naruto Shippuden: Slightly better than the first season, at least for the animation, but still meh. Dragon Ball: One of the worst anime ever made, in my book. |
watching, waiting, commiserating |
RenaPsychoKiller said: @ HydraAI hated a series that you loved, so I must be trolling? How mature of you. Heh, I wasn't serious of course. :P |
| @RenaPsychoKiller.... Kuroshitsuji - I liked it a lot. I really liked the voice acting in the english dub. It wasn't blow you away amazing, but I think you have it rated a couple points too low. Fullmetal Alchemist - FMA is a classic. I've always said, things are popular for a reason. Though, Brotherhood was better for sure. Gantz - I can see this. I have it rated slightly higher, but you rating is understandable. I think it could have been a lot better than it was. I was expecting more out of it anyway. Claymore - Wow, this anime is in my top 5. It was just awesome. I wish it wouldn't have ended where it did, but other than that, I have very few complaints about Claymore. Clare is amazing! Pokemon - Agreed. Never liked the pokemon anime. When I played the games, my idea of the Pokemon world was so much different than that happy-go-lucky shit they turned into the anime. Though, I can see it was definitely the right way to go from a business standpoint. Pokemon is one of the shows that gives anime a bad rep in the eyes of haters. School Days - To me, this was a boring anime with a great ending. The ending alone gave it a higher rating than it probably deserved (for me anyway). I can see you having it rated this low. So, I agreed on 3...moderately disagreed on 2...and strongly disagreed on 1. Claymore rated anything below a 7 is insanity to me, lol. |
 |
| @KingYoshi Paranoia Agent-really? a 4? I think this is just one of the most brilliant series I have ever seen, if anything, its current MAL score is too low for it. Pokemon-I have a nostalgic tie to this through the Indigo League, sometimes the Orange League depending on my mood. Is it a good show? No, not really, but I can't help but love it anyway. Digimon-also nostalgic, I really do enjoy this show, but less ironically than Pokemon since I enjoy it for more reasons then just nostalgia. And the games aren't good (I heard a few are alright, but haven't played them) so it's the show or nothing. |
Ragna92 said: @Tiago97 Dragon ball gt: Makes sense. Wasn't too good I sort of enjoyed it but it's not surprising at all to see someone give it a 5. Code Geass: You gave this a low rating, but looks like it just wasn't your type of show from the shows you watch. Think you'll enjoy it more when you get older. Why? I hate mecha, and (probably) always will. Someone also spoiled me the ending to it. In both series. I hate CLAMP's art sytle. I hate how much I hate hating Lelouch. Just a bland character. Love how everyone thinks he's complex just because he has no personality at all, and just say it to look smart. I hate how much they tried to make this anti-hero almost feel like an hero. Plus, it's shonen, I'm 14. Now, sorry for the off-topic. Let's get on topic again :D @FallnKnightFakir Code Geass- deserves less! Grave of the Fireflies- meh. I heard it's more of a peace of art than a "1/10" Kiki's Delivery Service/ Howl's Moving Castle- You hate Miyazaki. Plus, Spirited Away came after Kiki... NGE- "ep 24: worst single episode of anime ever made"- I saw it yesterday. Can't say it's THAT bad, but it sucked pretty bad. |
| @Hongo-Takeshi Cowboy Bebop-Awww, man! Episodic greatness at its best! I don't see how you can like Outlaw Star but not Cowboy Bebop, they're just so similar! I still like Outlaw Star more, but CB is damn good. Based on your "main 8 things I rate on", I'd think this would be much higher. Monster-I do think that this is an overrated series, but it's still a good one. Hikaru no Go-Wow, I have no soul? This series only has one of the greatest coming of ages stories of all time. Sure, I still don't know anything about Go, but you don't need to to enjoy this series. This is only one of the best shonen to ever exist, more people need to watch or read it!! RahXephon-Gah, I don't get it, this was a great show and it made me wanna rewatch it to get all the delicious symbolism out of it. I don't get people who think it an EVA clone (no proof that you do) but in it's own right it's a great show. Gundam Wing-Yeah, I thought this sucked too. Kinda discouraged me from checking out other Gundams even (though I did check out and enjoy 0080). Yeah, I'm aware that it'd be tough to be this bad, but I'm still shy. Golden Boy-Aww, man! This is one of my favorite OVAs! It's all awesome guilty pleasure laughs, but I could see it being offensive to some. Jyu Oh Sei-Eh, this felt like an "outdated even at the time it was made" show to me, but it was still a solid enough show. Glass Mask-Haven't seen the original, but I don't see what you could have against this series based on its own merits. I've only seen like 12 eps of it, but it's really damn good. Astro Boy-I really liked this. Yes, I am a massive Tezuka fan and yes some of the episodic eps were kinda poor, but there were some truly brilliant eps in there too. I don't see how this is significantly worse than the 1963 series, if anything it's much better. Man, your list almost felt like it was trolling me personally, but you did give 10s to Princess Tutu, Sexy Commando, They Were 11, Fantastic Children, and Outlaw Star, it's a tough call, lol |
| @FallnKnightFakir Sir, you are an iconoclast. And for some reason we still have 65% in common. Where to start... Eiken - Ok, this one is a rare case in which we agree :P. It's not a guilty pleasure for me at all, if only my guilt was to start it with any expectancy that it would be fun. Grave of the fireflies - It is my favorite anime movie. If I remembered which reasons you gave for your blasphemy (don't take the word too seriously, I so love to overdramatize), I would know what to answer. What do you want, it is poignant, it is sincere, it is not manipulative in the sense of forcing pity in the poor protagonists that see things happen and can't do anything against, it's beautiful in the sense of reinforcing the little moments of enjoyment between one tragedy and other and the brights of the fireflies to capture a moment of beauty in the harshness of the whole setting. Howl's moving castle - I don't see anything special on it but then again saying "I don't see anything special" can't be compared to your lovely 3, so guess we are again on disagreement. I don't know if it's the grade what hurts me or your comment... I also like to compare this with Spirited away, but come on, the execution of both shows is extremely different. It's like saying Lord Of The Rings and Eragon are the same, although knowing our level of agreement on stuff I wonder if you enjoy the latter more. Kiki's delivery service - I can see how its simplicity would manage to make this show more or less enjoyable for you, but if I say it's one of my least favorite Miyazakis and give it an 8... next one please. Mars of destruction - Hmm you rate it better than Grave of the fireflies. I'm sure there's a time paradox being created somewhere in the world at this moment. Princess Mononoke - I guess you find more flaws on it than just being preachy, which is something that it shares with things like Death Note and Princess Tutu (each one in their way), but even more because that's the only flaw I'd give to this movie and it's still a favorite. Probably your rating system substracts six points for preachiness while I substract a tenth part of one, but still. Serial Experiments Lain - I actually find it underrated. There's so many people saying they don't understand it that they might be missing an amazing exercise in style, which is Lain's main and better point. As I actually think I could extract something comprehensible from the plotline, I don't find any relevant flaw at this point either. It's polemic and all and can easily see people hating it. Spirited away - My favorite Miyazaki, did I told you how iconoclast I find you :P? Tsumiki no ie - It's a quite recurrent idea in animated shorts and so far this is the best take at it, by far. But well, disagreement and all. Whisper of the heart - It's another 10 from me. You know I like Ghibli, eh. Don't worry, we'll always have Princess Tutu. |

Hongo-Takeshi said: Dropped Tsubasa- epic fail made soccer popular here so that make it a 7 otr above for me I tried it last year and it had become so cheesy, exaggerated and repetitive through its first ten episodes that I didn't care to follow it. And don't call to the nostalgia wagon because at the time I wasn't interested on it either. If this is the example of a representative sports anime, with its contradictory message (we are a team, but there are only two worthy players), its tone of soap opera filled with unbelievable stuff (seriously what was that shit with the Brazilian coach), and the annoying description of the characters as kids who have been their whole life kicking a ball and bothering their poor families with their damn soccer, and actually turning this insane obsession into a genuine fight to fulfill their (so fucked up) dreams... I expect to not touch this genre anymore. Yes, I hated it. And in my case there's not even the excuse of having made soccer popular because it was already in my country. About Cyborg 009, as I say I'm rating the short film that Oshii made recently, which I found confusing and lacking interest. Probably if I watch the original series my view changes but it's not exactly a genre I'm quite interested on. Next one continue with Hongo, BTW. |
jal90Aug 14, 2011 3:59 PM
| @ Hongo-Takeshi RahXephon :: 5? You gave NGE a 10, but hated RaXephon? That's pretty odd, I feel like most people like or hate both of them together. I admit that I liked NGE better than RahXephon, but they both had their own charm. What didn't you like about it? Gundam SEED :: Are you more of a U.C. person? a lot of people hated SEED because of the characters, but I liked it. Definitely not a great show, but it was pretty good. Princess Lover :: I rated it higher, 7, but I can see why you wouldn't like it. I thought the first half of the series was pretty good, but the second half (when the brought in the Black Ops), was just terrible, the show turned almost unwatchable. Code Geass R2 :: one of my favorite anime...it hurts... Naruto :: Completely agree |
 |
| Why do you take the Mangaka into account when you rate the anime? And the studio...are you saying that if a different studio produced the exact same anime, the rating could be different? And I looked at your profile to see how you rated things, didn't see your sig. |
Meh_93Aug 14, 2011 4:54 PM
|
| @jal90 I don't know any of Meh_93's 5 or belows (all eight of them) and I already did Hongo (not to mention that he didn't do Meh's) so yeah, just skip me. Also, I just don't get why you wouldn't rate based on how good you personally found it to be, like rating from the heart, y'know? |
| havent seen that in a while. but ya, pretty much from what i remember, ghost in the shell wasnt that exciting. there were some moments i thought were pretty alright, but i never rly got too excited about it. well the partial nudity was a plus for me, but i was pretty young when i watched this so..... >.> |
| @Kenshin_sama Naruto Shippuuden: I am so glad to see this here. This is the show that made me decide to temporarily stop watching anime, thinking that I was probably getting too old for this stuff. That lasted until I realized that there are much better anime than shows like Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, and DBZ, and started watching again about a year back. Relatively short list, so that was the only <5 show on it that I've seen. |
 |
| Hmmm considering your list is mostly low ratings, with your highest being 2 nines for toradora and true tears (really?), this should be an interesting one to comment on. .hack sign: A confusing series, and I can understand not liking it all that much. Nothing special Dragonball: A pretty generic old fashioned shounen, but its cute an innocent enough that I think a 3 is pretty harsh. Dragonball GT: Hmmmm ya 2 sounds bout right Final Fantasy Advent Children : yes, bad plot, meh main characters and the worst villains I've seen in ages. Fruits Basket: Never seen anyone give Fruits basket the same score I did (though I think our processes for rating are a little different). Poor characters, not all that funny, only redeeming quality was a few somewhat interesting side characters. Inuyasha: Again, innocent enough. Not a great series by any means but it didn't do anything particularly terrible I thought Gundam 00: Once more, a show let down by really lame characters. 3 I think is going a bit far but it wasn't a good show by any means. School Rumble : Gasp, have you no sense of comedy? How can you have given hayate season 2 a 7 and then give this a 4... oh wait a hina fan >.>... Starting to see why our compatibility is in the shitter. Haruhi Suzumiya: Meh, this is a bit of a love it or hate it kind of anime. Personally thought it was great. Zero no tsukaima 1-3: Really annoying characters in a pretty bland series. Not all that funny and overall its sad that something like this attracted 3 seasons. |

| That's fine, FallnKnightFakir. Obviously what I feel about a show I loved isn't the same you felt about the same show if you hated it. Actually, your tastes are pretty recognizable; I know from MAL that there are people who find problems in the character design of Ghibli (one of the reasons why I like the movies!), and if you don't get into the discourse of Miyazaki you can make all the efforts you want that they will in the end be useless. Notice how you tend to dislike the most exuberant Miyazakis and save the simplest-looking ones (Castle In The Sky, Kiki's Delivery Service). But then again, nothing wrong with your tastes. Next one skip me and do leingodf8, you know. |
| @judojon: Out of the ones I've seen/heard about, I don't disagree with any of your ones 5 and below. :P I dropped Hidan no Aria, rather than go through it, agree with ZnT, Pokemon was good as a kid but looked at now it doesn't stand up. I would question why (pointless) ONAs/OVAs rate above 'not-crap' storylines however. ((Looking at your 10s has reminded me of some anime I really need to watch, incidentally. :P )) (((@Hongo-Takeshi: The way you rate is ridiculous.))) |

Hongo-Takeshi said: judojon said: @Hongo-Takeshi Berserk-- Wait really? It is an anime epic though... Cowboy Bebop-- Huh? Perfect use of music, near flawless animation, complex characters, and the the perfect mix of style and substance... I really can't see why you gave this a 5. Toradora!-- Well this is my favorite anime rom-com... so needless to say I don't agree with your score. read my sig before you comment on how i rate Your sig -> Bebop and Berserk a 5. What. Considering the sheer popularity, renowned following, popularity of the people behind the shows, the studios involved, the iconography AND the impact of both shows is pretty much amongst the highest in the entire medium, something has gone horribly wrong somewhere. @judojon Black Rock Shooter - Makes sense. Plenty of potential in the original source artworks, but they really didn't do a very good job on the anime. It focused too much around the daily life of the characters which never existed originally. Dead Leaves - Sure, this thing doesn't make much sense, but I totally loved it due to the sheer hyperactivity and amount of stuff going on at once. I don't quite understand it all but it was extremely entertaining and fun to watch, plus it looks pretty. I guess I can see why some people wouldn't like it though, it might be a little TOO erratic sometimes. Highschool of the Dead OVA - Really? That high? This was pretty much one of the worst things I've seen. It took all the worst parts of the main series and focussed around those, whilst avoiding the good parts. Frankly, I can only really describe it as fucking awful. Kai Doh Maru - Agreed. I don't even know how something can be this bad. I spent most of the film trying to work out what was going on, trying to decide why I was even bothering to watch it and falling asleep. I can kinda see what they were going for with it, but they failed dismally. And by dismally, I mean really, really badly. Mars of Destruction - It's Mars of Destruction. Everyone knows why this thing is like this. MM! - Yeah, that sounds about right. It started off pretty entertaining, then it shifted its focus and turned into something utterly atrocious. That's why I haven't bothered going any further with it. Panty & Stocking - Understandable. It's known for being a 'marmite' series that you either love or hate, and with the style of humour involved that isn't surprising. Personally I found it hilarious in places and extremely fun, but I can fully understand that some people won't like it at all. Eva@School - The first 'series' was better than the second. That was actually funny, whilst the second lacked quite a lot and dragged things out too much. When it was funny though, I found it hilarious. Still, it has a few glaring weaknesses. |

Hongo-Takeshi said: In Japan Bebop is noot held that Highly Do you have any idea how ridiculously weeaboo that sounds? @Seasonreaper Higashi no Eden Falling Down-seeing how the OP was the only thing I liked about the anime, I'd probably be willing to go a bit higher on this. That said, if you don't care for the song, yeah, sure, it's really no more special than any other music vid. Animatrix-I recall one decent segment and 8 complete and utter crap segments, I'm with ya here TTGL ep 6 uncut-I think this ep was far more awesome uncut, lol. I do love TTGL quite a lot Elfen Lied-I really enjoy this, but everywhere I look, it's a love it hate it thing. Puni Puni Poemi-this was an earlier anime for me, it did make me laugh Basquash-I liked this until they changed directors mid-freakin-series! Then I dropped it Garzey's Wing-yep, it doesn't make any sense :P But man with a dub like that, it's still supremely entertaining, no? Mars of Destruction-lol, no 5 and below list is complete without it! Like your comment on "decapitated-chan". I think ATHF does that sort of stuff better and they don't care if it looks cheesy as part of the joke! Hmm, got a bit ninja'd, give me moment @KeiranShikari first off, your ratings are black text on black background. At first I just thought you didn't have any ratings. Anyway: Mars of Destruction-:3 see above Eiken-terrible, yet so damn good at it! TTGL Parallel Works-aww, what is wrong with them? They're fun non-canon little things. Not mind blowing, but cute and fun anyway. Elfen Lied-I assume you mean "deep" ironically, but still, I really liked this series, see above, it's pretty much copy and paste. Mirai Nikki-assuming this is the like 2 minute thing, yeah, it's probably disappoint. But the manga is awesome so I can't wait for the full series! Now if only soemone would grab the manga license... |

Hongo-Takeshi said: I happen to Japanese so i can state things like that Alright, fine, I could see things being different if you are from Japan and watch stuff there, but this is an English message board, don't be surprised if most people assume you're a weeaboo. Might want to make it clear in your sig that you're from Japan where series are obviously received differently. |
