| How to get good taste: 1) Choose 5 of these as your favorites: Legend of the Galactic Heroes, The Tatami Glaxy, End of Evangelion, Mushishi, Aria the Origination, Monster, GitS: SAC, Texhonolyze, Welcome to the NHK. 2) Shit on everything Urobuchi does, every KyoAni show or just any otherwise popular anime like SnK, Elfen Lied, Code:Geass...etc. 3) Be an edgelord with your ratings. Your mean score should be lower than 5. 4) Go to ThatAnimeSnob's YouTube channel and join his mindless worshipers. |

| Favorite =/= Good Taste? Anime = Good Taste You'll never know what are good anime unless you try. Good Taste aside. Beware here goes the criticisms of popular anime. |
| Lain is too deep and has old animation which people hate. I'm surprised it hasn't been bashed on yet :( |

| Good taste is liking a cute emotionless loli. Lol In all seriousness, good taste is knowing why you find certain anime good with solid reason. And know the difference between something objectively good and something that just happens to appeal to you. |
| I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters. If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate. Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too. My MAL Interview |
| Have NGE, SAO, K-On, LoGH, and SnK in your favs. Such excellency. No mere mortal could comprehend a mind as refined as this. I'll be amused if this actually exists. |
keragamming said: Lain doesn't get that much reception as the others he listed. Lain isn't really that love by the elitist group tbh. I think Lain too well known at this point. Hipsters are notorious for liking things until they become popular. Having watched both Lain and Texhnolyze, I don't understand why today's elitists prefer the latter. At some points it seems like it goes full edgecore like a second-rate Hellsing Ultimate. It was also so busy hanging over the edge that it failed to capture the essence of human nature. People hate on the SnK character cast but at least they have personality traits other than edge. |

Zergneedsfood said: that's why Skyz once said that Also, see, this is why I don't like talking Texhnolyze with people. Everyone just says shit like "oh it's edgy" and "oh it's just edgecore/nihilism" but Texhnolyze captures a lot of enlightening and optimistic elements of human nature and its ending is more often than not, rightfully interpreted as something that potentially ends on an uplifting tone despite its crushing implications.

Also, see, this is why I don't like talking Texhnolyze with people. Everyone just says shit like "oh it's edgy" and "oh it's just edgecore/nihilism" but Texhnolyze captures a lot of enlightening and optimistic elements of human nature and its ending is more often than not, rightfully interpreted as something that potentially ends on an uplifting tone despite its crushing implications. People who just dismiss Texhnolyze as trying too hard to be edgy largely don't seem to have made any effort into understanding that (or simply don't), not to mention that the whole "oh but the characters lack personality" is half the point to begin with. Having a "personality" doesn't constitute as being a good character anyway. I liked the show. I just think it was a little rough around the edges as a final production. My feelings of art works are generally very personal, so I can see how different people can feel differently and frankly, there were just things that personally bothered me. It certainly was very ambitious. Some of the efforts connected with me and some didn’t. As far as being “deep” or whatever, plot obscureness was turned up to 11, as was the despair. I had extremely high hopes up until episode 7, with the atmosphere reminding me of one of my favorite movies which in the end, managed to be more impactful in 1/3 of the time. I even made a thread asking for recommendations for more animes which had that same kind of atmosphere. I was expecting an obscured plot to slowly reveal an enthralling dystopia as the fog was lifted, but instead it took the path of edge. Episode 8 was a disaster. That was where the superhuman plot-armored guy with the sword rushed into gunfire in the conflict orchestrated by a mysterious man from outside the city. At this point, the mysterious man had my interest (should’ve spent my interest points on something else). The scene was a clumsy mess. From this point forward the plot became more linear and I guess you can say the fog was lifted, but what was there was hugely disappointing compared to what could have been. This “gang war” phase dragged on for so long before taking an abrupt detour down spiritual lane, and then it was over. There didn’t seem to be much to read into what was there, and what wasn’t there became less interesting. The whole production from episode 8 on just had a very clumsy feeling to me, unified by yes, nihilism, until the train ride, which ended in the “ghost world” which itself was anticlimactic and frustrating to me. You can think about it all you want because unlike Lain, a lot of things are left unclear, and thus analysis of it can serve as a sort of Rorschach test – trying to decode any hidden meaning and often finding meaning where there is none. It was a unique experience, sure, but and I think people should watch it cause the production is flat out amazing, but really just not impactful like it could’ve been. Again this is all personal. You can take whatever you want out of it I guess but in the end, it’ll go down differently for me. I also see a prevalent pattern in art which relies on the apophenia of the critic community to project their own reactions onto empty slates under the pretense of “getting it”, which leads to a lot of works which are not so much abstract as empty. Now a lot of high ego elitist types will tell me I’m being dense or whatever but that’s just how I see it. Warning: before making a long response, I must warn you that I probably won't put much effort into adding anything more cause I said what I have to say, despite being a sloppy, rough, verbal approximation, it took a lot of effort. |

| I don't understand why MAL is so obsessed with this question... users know there's no definitive answer, but despite that, this thread keeps being made. Even if we asked Deep Thought what good taste is, and it said good taste is liking ecchi and harem only, fans would be like 'no'; so what's the point in even asking the question? |

In fact from what I can tell Lain is still popular, even more so than some of the other series that were listed.

Look at the amount of people who have watched LOGH on MAL versus Lain. LOGH is still a cult thing - these forums just happen to be sort of at the epicenter of it. The elitists would rather circle jerk over the animes which they feel are more exclusive to their community without the widespread popularity. |

| in my opinion good taste is being able to appreciate many different kinds and genres of anime its more about having a wide appreciation of the medium, rather than having some kind of specific "right" appreciation |

| What is an elitist, anyway? I think I might be a stereotypical elitist because of how I analyze stuff and discuss themes and such. I don't follow the typical story/character/animation format but try to think how the anime fits in the bigger picture of storytelling. Yet I don't consider myself above a fun anime like Date A Live or Medabots - sometimes they're the best out there So what's an elitist? RE: 'variety' I don't think variety is necessary for a 'good taste'. It's perfectly reasonable to dislike a whole genre. I'd expect that person to make a serious case why writes off Romance or Action completely. |

It's just a mindset, a mindset that comes from an overly inflated ego or just putting on a brave face behind anonymity where you think your opinion is truth, and holds more value than the typical user. |
