In the long run, it all comes down on how YOU experienced a show... in deciding which anime you like and consider a masterpiece
| I know that you people here are allergic to Youtube videos and especially from Anime related content creators but Gigguk has just recently made a video that I think what people who are passionate about anime should always be reminded about. I myself think that you can really look at an anime in a purely technical(critical) lens but looking at it with only those is missing the point. Even if you classify several shows as art or as just a product.... YOUR own experience with it is the only thing that matters, in the long run. If you loved so much despite noticing that it doesn't hold up when examined critically.... that shouldn't matter. Dry, technical stuff shouldn't matter in the long run in a medium that can sometimes be art or that can be sometimes just a product for entertainment. Well, enough rambling, thoughts? |

| Yeah I saw this just recently as well, he's 100% correct. |
My Queens  |
| Kimi no Pico Wa is literally the best anime ever created, and a critical success (almost as big as Bananya) |
 |
| Not gonna watch another shill's video, but if the point here is like what you like, no shit. There's certainly no reason to angst over whether your 'enjoyed' favourites are of a masterpiece quality, but neither does that mean that such standards are irrelevant. If we shelter ourselves in the lonesome solitude of our own limited perspective, then we are surely missing out on the larger things life and putting to waste the gifts of modern communication and collective knowledge. Technical and critical greatness exists, and a pursuit of that experience will never be irrelevant for those that care about the possibility of anime. |

| No offense CG, truly, but it's always extremely predictable seeing where you get your ideas for your threads even before opening them. But yeah, I agree with him. |

If by "dry, technical stuff" you mean quality of characters, storyline, thematic development, formal innovation, emotional appeal, depth, etc, then yes, it actually does matter in the long run in ANY medium that can sometimes be art or sometimes a product for entertainment. Note the fact when we talk about, for example, novels from the early 20th century, we are rarely speaking about anything OTHER than novels that were exemplary or innovative in some way. That doesn't mean it should affect whether or not you choose to enjoy a show, but the fact is stuff that is mediocre is rarely spoken about in the decades following its release and the situation is the opposite of what you describe. Also it's pretty obvious you have an agenda from the fact you argue the "critical" lens is identical to a dry, technical one when this is anything but the case - most critics aren't saying "This anime is good because it uses 10 shots from this angle, 13 shots from this angle, the key frame animation is precise, blah blah blah blah," which would certainly be dry. They're arguing for the usage of those technical aspects in service of a larger whole, a thematic goal, a unique style, etc. |

| It's obvious just from looking at anime as recently as the 90s - how often do we talk about the works that had nothing technically interesting but were 'enjoyable'? almost never, because everybody forgets about them as soon as the next interchangeable 'enjoyable' anime comes around. It's a pretty low bar. |
Mayuka said: did you call holier than thou bitch right here last.fm |
| Wait, people didn't know this already? An unexplored level of retardation has been reached by humanity thanks to the Anime community. |
 |
| OP, you just really created a thread in what @EcchiLordMamster and I'm saying(not always though)... You do believe in that shitty YT dude, and don't believe in us, like really? Dude WTF? |
| I like School Days. Other people don't like School Days. People criticize me for liking School Days. I laugh at people that don't like School Days. But I don't force them to like School Days. Because humans are able to accept and forgive. And so, move beyond that... |
 |
| DON'T I ALWAYS SAY THIS? LOL i am someone who enjoys anime that are heavily criticized, many of which are 5-6.0s think im gonna stop watching them because people think theyre bad? i for example, like SAO... and get extremely annoying having to see another 624624546326254752254165473563 SAO sucks comments if you think theres something wrong with me for liking what i like and not prioritizing what you think i should... FUCK YOU.... i didn't watch the video btw lol.. i don't watch reviewers |

It's a pretty low bar. It goes both ways, a anime just needs to have that memorable identity, it has nothing to do with being critical or not. And another thing, we are in the internet age where everything is moving quickly, as one show ends, they move on to the next, if not you will be left behind. That is how it feel when it comes to seasonal anime for eg. And its not like persons forgot about those series, its just that they don't have much time to talk about that anime since the next hot series is already airing and everyone is talking about it. The age where a lot of persons spend years talking about one series is done and dusted. And those novels you are talking about is irrelevant to the newer generation. |
| I've watched a lot of things with terrible reviews and low ratings, and found most of them great. I've really enjoyed them. If you want to watch something even though other people don't like it, watch it. If you like it, awesome. Props to you for finding something you like even though you were discouraged by other peoples opinions. If you don't like it, then that's fine too. But don't act all high and mighty because some other people do like it and you're feeling special dumping on the bandwagon of people that dislike something. It really doesn't matter. People have different tastes, that's the whole point as to why there's so much variety. For example Ecchi gets dissed a lot, but also a lot of people love it, I'm one of those people. And I don't care if other people don't like it, I have a good time watching it and that's what matters. Your personal view as to what you enjoy is all that's important. |

| Just by seeing the title of ur thread I was gonna mention that gigguk vid No memes but still quality tho I agree |
  |
| I don't watch youtubers. . . But well, for some people, analyzing is a part of enjoying a thing (anime). . . |
"People who don't see that anime has changed are either wearing "glasses" or watching only a certain type (and or era) of anime" "Having a low mean score doesn't necessarily mean one doesn't enjoy anime. Rating system is not a school grading system." "Elitist is people who think he is superior than others. Not necessarily ones who insulting/critisizing your favorite anime or people who enjoy a certain type of anime" "Fanboy is people who translating "your favorite anime is shit" into "you are shit". "Being a fanboy is an indication of elitism" |
| @truism I won't argue the point you're making since it's the "classics" that are remembered but those things that made it a classic becomes irrelevant to someone who either simply didn't like it or who didn't resonate with it or any other entirely personal reasons. Sure, it's a low bar but who cares? |

Mayuka said: did you call holier than thou bitch right here last.fm |
| While it is true that it is ultimately your own choice whether you like a series, you should still be open for discussion. If you will love your favorite anime unconditionally and are unwilling to take shit from anyone else then why are you even on the discussion forums. Tastes reflect who you are as a person, but you shouldn't be completely shut out to the possibility of different perspectives. |

You mean one or two persons talking about those series? Those series are still being talk about simple because they have been recommended by someone else and they have watch it. Those are basically the top anime recommended beginners guide to become a elitist. Just like the top most recommened mainstream anime for new timers, like snk, death note, fmab, cowboy bebop, sao, code geass ect. Those novels are irrelevant, and the more years goes by the more irrelevant it becomes. How many people are watching early 2000 anime not to mention 90s anime? Just a small percentage. The current anime fans are more focus on stuff that is currently airing, which is a natural thing to do. |

| ermgerd what a revolutionary new idea nobody has ever thought of this one before |
| "I like young-girl sexual creations, Lolicon is just one hobby of my many hobbies," he says. I ask what his wife, standing nearby, thinks of his "hobby". "She probably thinks no problem," he replies. "Because she loves young boys sexually interacting with each other." |
| Well that felt like a slight waste of time. I guess I did unsub to him for a reason. Video was basically 4 minutes of him reviewing Kimi no Na wa and 4 minutes of him padding out the obvious. |

| got to admit that is one mood uplifting video and i agree with him when he said that he have more respect on reviewers that describes the good viewing experience of an anime show rather than focusing on describing how unrealistic or irrational or impossible the anime show is which is like majority of MAL reviews from what i can tell (although i can be wrong on this since i rarely read reviews here) elitism in anime is getting cancerous so the message he presented maybe so obvious but its a good reminder for a lot of anime fans that only watch anime just to find flaws and criticize them ye i get it sturgeons law says 90% of everything is crap and i can agree to that as well but not everybody have the same experience when watching an anime is just the main point here |

| I'm actually currently working on an analysis of Non Non Biyori to attempt to deconstruct exactly where my enjoyment is coming from. This could be useful in arguments as well as just to understand my own taste better. We all have our own taste and taste is subjective, but I still think it's good to know exactly why you enjoy certain anime more than others. |
  |
| But...but I'm the Arbiter of Absolute Truth! Everything I say is 100% correct! D: |
 This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi! I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom: "Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news. Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people. Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation. There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime. You should be watching Carole & Tuesday." |
| Sound like another self justification. |
 la critique de l'intention pure |
| @truisms I feel like I'm being misunderstand here, I am not saying you should accept reality, but atleast acknowledge it. We are straying from the point. This current age is moving towards everything being instant, for eg, persons wants the fastest pc and internet they can get because they want a system that respond quickly. News spread across the world in a matter of seconds, in the next 24 hours that news will be consider old, and if you make a thread or video about it 24hours later, you will be left in the dust, the majority of people want to be up to date, they want to be a part of everything. This applies to anime as well, current anime fans are more focus on what is currently airing and will make sure that they are up to date with the latest episode, especially when it comes to hype series, so they can be a psrt of the current live discussions, thus they have little time to focus on series that are not currently airing, especially the really older series. And this includes what they have to do daily in real life as well. Anyways the internet or social media is the true mastermind behind this , and if you don't want to be left behind, you need to get with the time. That's all I was saying. It's obvious just from looking at anime as recently as the 90s - how often do we talk about the works that had nothing technically interesting but were 'enjoyable'? almost never, because everybody forgets about them as soon as the next interchangeable 'enjoyable' anime comes around. It's a pretty low bar. So as I was saying, its not really the standards that has drop, but it more has to do with the current generation attention span which imo is mostly because of the internet or social media, and just the fast pace of anime, games and movies being released. |
