| It's alright, not really good but I wouldn't necessarily call it terrible. Except Tokyo Ghoul being in your favourites for manga. and you rated Orange a 10. other than that, it's eh I guess. |

Apoc_Revolution said: Ikaros_42oh said: >needs meaning to be spelled out for him lol the whole point is to explain it for yourself in your own way life is way often way more ambiguous than not so when trying to realistically approach peoples feelings around such crazy events as the wired or the second/third impacts the meaning behind it can not be easily pinned down on purpose... it's like being there in all the madness; for example nge kinda throws you right in and explains backstory as it goes (esp in the second half) right as the backstory stuff starts to show it starts having an effect on the characters and seeing how they and you react to such events i think is really cool and interesting. The psychological tension is amazing tbh. i highly recommend you read some Faulkner novels and try to see the beauty in this method of story telling. When you 'get' it I swear the other methods kinda lose their luster... heres a general summary of what i like about them https://neoenglish.wordpress.com/2010/12/12/ambiguity-inconclusiveness-irresolution-in-faulkner%E2%80%99s-novels/ also the art style and music of both shows i find really enjoyable It doesn't need to be spelled out as long as you can understand what the anime is trying to tell you. It either needs to be clearly expressed in words or shown in a way that isn't confusing. What if you can't explain it for yourself? Then you will either never understand or will have to listen to other people's opinions, which defeats the purpose of explaining it for yourself. In other words, it might as well be a waste of time better spent on something else. Indeed, NGE (the TV season) actually explains things. The second half of the movie does not. Even so, the TV season's plot and characters don't interest me and it has a major pacing flaw in episode 24 that wastes a new character that is introduced. I won't mention who or how for those who haven't seen it yet. Psychological is one of my favourite genres, but NGE doesn't do it for me. I appreciate the recommendation, but I must admit that I can't be bothered to read novels. no what im saying is that it shouldnt be clear if it wants to be accurate regarding such ambiguous and confusing things as being a god program (SEL) or the one who bears the load of all humanity (EVA). These situations are confusing and it is accurate to produce them to be confusing. You cant explain confusion to everyone as naturally everyone is on a different level of understanding. This leaves some people who cant understand the confusion IS the meaning. If you never understand this you cannot move on to the part where you explain this confusion in your own way. It's better this way if you can get it as its personal and you can learn more about yourself working through this confusion while realizing that the confusion/ambiguity is the point. Even if you dont get any of this I still dont think it'd be a waste of time, as even the realization that some things are too confusing to understand is an important one. a pacing flaw in episode 24 by way of the new character haha please put why in a spoiler and tell me. I dont think so as you cant be bothered to read novels and yet in your signature you have "Never underestimate the significance of words" sounds youre underestimating them to me... |

Apoc_Revolution said: What makes you suitable to evaluate quality?zal said: I said this many times: score how you want. Want to score based on enjoyment? Feel free to do so, I said nothing against that. I do not enjoy some good shows as well. I already decided to do that from the moment I started rating anime. I score based on quality and enjoyment. Really though, it doesn't explain anything and is even worse than NGE in that aspect. If you have to research on the internet to find out what the show means, then I consider the anime a failure. zal said: Consider it whatever you want but even if you consider it a failure doesn't make it a failure, just saying. How can an anime that has major flaws not be a failure quality-wise? S;G never explained the Reading Steiner. I don't think there's anything wrong with the show, not tell approach as long as things can still be properly understood without words. SEL and NGE's movie fail in that aspect since everything is a mess. It's no wonder that so many people don't understand what these shows mean. zal said: The question is, is it really a mess or is it just your impression? If you look at them just from a narrative point of view yeah it might be a mess but you are ignoring the introspection side of Evangelion which didn't seem a mess to me and ended up being the main focus of the show. It really is a mess. These introspection scenes in the second half of the movie don't even make sense. Especially when Asuka keeps saying "Look at me" and "Chance" for seemingly no reason lol. While I personally dislike the TV season as well, at least there the introspection makes sense. |

I dont think so as you cant be bothered to read novels and yet in your signature you have "Never underestimate the significance of words" sounds youre underestimating them to me... They're supposed to be confusing? Then it goes against the meaning of art itself. It should be able to be understood and it should captivate viewers. Not being able to understand the meaning is very likely to lead to a lack of enjoyment, like in my case. If only a minority of people can understand and appreciate it, then this form of art is a failure. There is a difference between ambiguity and confusion. Serial Experiments Lain and End of Evangelion have many bizarre images and rants that make zero sense. Regarding the pacing in episode 24 of NGE: I eventually read that article about Ambiguity, Inconclusiveness and Irresolution you showed me, but I don't think I'll read the rest. This peculiar form of writing is an interesting concept, but a flawed one. I don't underestimate the significance of words, it's just apathy that makes me not read everything. What I mean by that signature is, people shouldn't butcher the definitions of words, and people should realise that each word has a meaning that should be used at the appropriate time. The cancer known as "buzzwords" is a result of people using the same word to describe different things. I'm against words becoming meaningless. Also, each word a person utters is recorded by God. But of course, many people refuse to believe that. |

Pullman said: 'Is my taste really that bad?' and 'I am the greatest!' are kind of contradictions. Nobody who thinks the latter would ever phrase a question like the former. Unless for baiting/trolling purposes when they're not being genuine. So I ask again, is this the true purpose of your thread? Eh, I don't really see it as inherently contradictory. Wanting to know what other people think of you does not in and of itself make you insecure. Thinking your taste is bad (at least by others standards) does not necessitate that you are dissatisfied with your taste. I mean if you still dunked your cheetos in cola as an adult you yourself might recognize that as "weird" since most people don't do that, but it doesn't necessarily mean you would feel obligated to change your preference*. As a loose analogy I think that is similar. *I don't do this anymore, btw. Just an example. |
So, basically the taste is now measured by compatibility with EVA fanboys? Glad to know it. Anime fans never dissapoint me. In the worst way. @Takamura-sama you just like more recent shows with a wide mainstream appeal, which anime fandom has translated into "shitty taste". For me, i must admit, that's not my style, but you're you, not me. So do what you want. But, if you feel the need to change the situation, just because you want, and not because others told you, you can always ask for recomendations. |

| 35% compatibility, congratz now we both have bad taste. |

I also like mayoiga, sao and many more anime that are disliked a lot by people. Is my animetaste really that bad? If it is why is it bad? No your taste in anime isn't bad. You like what you watch, don't you? Who cares what other people think. |

| Meh, in my opinion "bad taste" is really just a joke that far too many people take too seriously. Like, I may occasionally tease people for liking a show that's typically perceived as bad, or that I perceive as bad, but I do acknowledge that each individual has their own definition for what "good" is. I do acknowledge that there are legitimate points to be made as to why they like that series, even if there are several legitimate points to be made as to why I dislike it, and vice versa. Even the people hailed to have "good taste" sometimes like things that others perceive to be bad. There's no such thing as bad taste in a serious context, and I disagree with anyone who thinks otherwise. Unless your favorite movie is the Star Wars Holiday Special. There's no justifying that. |
| Yes OP. Your taste is really that bad. Jokes aside, no. I don't think anyone has "bad taste in anime" just different taste in anime. |
| How those taste/ratings threads always ends having so many replies? People sure loves controversy. OT: OP, your taste is fine. |
 |
| No one has shit taste, just different taste. |
 |
| >sees Rakugo with a score of 2 yeah it's pretty bad in my opinion |
 |
| I'm afraid, dear sir, that it is absolutely mortifying. So is mine though But fear not OP, your taste is not as shitty as coughcough @Snappynator coughcough On a serious note your taste falls in reasonable line with what many who are more acquainted with the medium would call "bad". Mostly due to the Fairy Tail, Code Geass, SAO and Mikasa in faves, But I can tell that you don't really care. And that's how things should be. We're all idiots with shit taste anyways. Apart from me. |

| Just ignore them, your taste isn't bad if it's what you like. You just enjoy what not everyone likes, and that is ok. |
| well you have rainbow and onanie master kurosawa in your favorites so it's not that bad and we have 20% compatibility |

Replace the nonsensical images and rants with words and visuals that can be interpreted in multiple ways, yet still make sense and the quality would've been fine. It's both a niche and a mess, it doesn't have to be black and white. |

yeahhhhhh watch more hentai buddy boy |
 penis lol |
| you have fairy tail and rewirte in favorites op as much as i do not like judging tastes and peoples ideas in fiction based only in the favorites list alone, you are not really helping to make your case |
| I mean do you need someone to accept you for what you like? |
| Depends if you consider having diffrent taste than majority as a bad then yes its probably bad. Majority might oppose your taste its still doesn't mean your taste is bad its just diffrent. Anyway why do you even care |
 |
| I like SAO and Fairy Tail too. Gintama is a taco bell toilet though |
 |
| >Serial Experiments Lain a 5 yes its bad |
| Enjoy whatever you enjoy. No fan's opinion is better than another's. |

| You can like whatever you like, it doesn't really matter. And if we're going by my standards, your tastes are p good, but that's because I subject myself to cringe for entertainment. |
 |
| Your taste in anime is like whatever, so yeah! not exactly horrible, but I don't really care. |
| It's not really bad. But i have not watched all of those |
 |
| I mean you like bakugo from boku no hero so that in itself is pretty damn bad. But just enjoy what you like, man. Even if people hate on it who cares. All these guys have watched boku no pico and that's even more lame. |
Papi- said: Are you saying you haven't stayed up late one or two nights watching the misadventures of little pico and friends? I mean you like bakugo from boku no hero so that in itself is pretty damn bad. But just enjoy what you like, man. Even if people hate on it who cares. All these guys have watched boku no pico and that's even more lame. |
| 2/10 for Rakugo and 1/10 for Paprika while both are masterpieces... what? |
| Your taste is pretty standard for a 16 year old. That´s okay. Still, I see you watch more than super-mainstream anime, which is good. And as the years go by, your preferences will change. A low rated movie now might turn into a favorite later |
| "Could you not talk with me? I'm busy breathing." |
| I don't get why people care about someone else's taste in Anime. I think it's way more fun to obsess over shows you both love than to criticize someone because he doesn't like the same shows you like. |
 |
| Don't mind them. Like what you want to like. Besides, Kotori is best girl... *looks at your favorites* Your taste is shit. |
 |
| A real human being is not supposed to like that garbage, no matter who you are kappa Also you give low ratings to really good shows. Were you dropped as a child? I'm cringing pretty hard rn tbh Even a 16-year old kid can't be this fucked in the head |

| I've got no real right to judge other peoples tastes, Just watch the stuff what you wanna watch as long as It doesn't hurt anyone and doesn't put you on some kind of government watch-list. |
