Do you believe the top four anime on MAL are genuinely superb watches?

It's not in the top 4, it's barely even in the top 10. Plus it's not even done airing so the score is nowhere near final. Many people reserve ratings until after they actually saw the whole thing.
I can see it easily reaching number one. Not for me, but on MAL.


You are a little TOO generous lol. SnK is not as good as anything in the top 10, not even Code Geass and IMO Code Geass is awful.
Did you even read what I said? I said I can see SnK reaching number one in MAL's rankings, but not for me.

I'm hating it at the moment. I've even put it on hold because it's irritating me. That's not, however, the main reason I put it on hold.

Remember, it's not being too generous, it's having an opinion different to your own.

There are trolls all right, but there are also legitimate people who are both rude and irrational that exert that LOGH is objectively better. Can't see how all of those are trolls, but a good majority sure can be.

The fact that most of them say that we should follow the MAL rating system and use a spreadsheet makes me even more annoyed.
They are easily the most closed minded fan base I've seen ever in a while.

I never said you thought it was great, I just said you thinking it can reach number one is generous. That is your interpretation of my comment. And obviously we are on a board to discuss our opinions about anime. I am not some pseudo-intellectual prick arguing about objectivity or what have you. I also find a bit condescending that you remind me it is MY opinion when clearly I have the capacity to understand that fact. It is MINE, I am not trying to exert anything I say as a fact nor will I ever.

FMA Brotherhood- It's standard fare shonen but a bit better. Seeing as the western community is made up of shonenfags it makes sense why it got that high. Good show but very overrated. 2003 is better.

Gintama- Get back to you on that one once I've seen the good parts

Steins;Gate- It's a great show but it's way too flawed to deserve anything even close to that position. Plus even without those flaws I still don't think it's good enough

Clannad- Ehhh... I'm undecided on this one. It's overrated but it's still very good. Although Kanon is better.

Now that's pretty clown itself. Not everyone's gonna listen to them because a lot of peeps have their own standards as to what they like. I'm as unconventional in every regard when that topic's brought up. I don't think everyone should follow my standards, but at least I'd like to know why they even think there are objective truths regarding a simple anime being better than the other.

Closed-minded fanbases... could easily argue LOGH has one of the most prevalent ones but there are certainly others, including ones I may happen to really like as well.

It's from this crazy little Production I.G movie called Dead Leaves. It's fucking rad. If you enjoyed FLCL or Panty and Stocking, you're good to go.

Like I say in every other one of these types of threads, no anime deserves the top spot but some anime has to fill it. It's the same with the spots beneath. Comparing different shows directly never works not to mention that people have different tastes and opinions. There is no one anime that everybody thinks is the best.

How come every LOGH fan I've encountered constantly argues that there is no middle ground between what's good and what's not?

How come they've always insulted my opinions just because of my liking of things LOGH did not have?

I once mentioned the possibility that I might not like LOGH and that I may end up calling it overrated crap if I watch it. No personal attacks, no actual criticism of the show. But the fact that I mentioned the possibility of it being overrated got me in a lot of trouble

Haven't done that one before, but I'll certainly take your word for it if it's exactly the same ones I've seen before.

They are there for a reason and that's because the majority of the people who watched those shows enjoyed them. So yes, they deserve to be there.

Well of course that got you in trouble, you flirted with calling it overrated despite the fact you haven't seen it :P
That's just not on, I'm a LOGH fan and I'm generally okay when talking about it, I don't mind people calling it crap so long as they can elaborate on why they didn't like it.... it's the generic, vague put downs that get LOGH fans XD

I'm a fan of LOGTH hero and I don't really care if you thinks sucks nor do I care if you have preference towards lolis. You shouldn't make the generalization that all LOGTH fans are elitists that disregard and insult your opinions. Most LOGTH fans that I have encountered are mature adults that value discourse rather than bashing others views'.

Clannad AS: I didn't watch cause I dropped Clannad after 4 episodes, it was boring and Nagisa was annoying as fuck, it seems to me it wasn't very different from Little Buster that I dislike, so I might hate it.

Steins Gate: Fell asleep in the middle of episode 3, so I dropped that shit.

Gintama: Never watched more than a few clips, so I can't judge.

FMA Brotherhood: Solid but not mindblowing.

So no, I don't believe the top 4 are superb watches.

I just believe that you saying SnK could reach number 1 is unlikely, that is what I meant by generous. Thinking it could go that far. I am sorry if I agitated you.

Out of those 4, Steins;Gate is the only one that deserves to be there.

Brotherhood is a soulless remake that ironically doesn't capture the bond between Ed and Al as strongly as the original did. It rides on the singular gimmick that it follows the manga more closely because people have a strange obsession with source material and can't appreciate art on its own merits.

Clannad AS has a slow and dull beginning that drags it down in spite of its very well-handled and emotional ending. Honestly the first Clannad was much more consistently entertaining throughout.

Gintama is a long running series so you can guarantee that there will be long boring filler arcs that waste everyone's time and it shouldn't be there for that reason alone.
