I Actually liked School Days.... I Think it is because it was my First Slice of life/Harem anime and I Watched it when I Was 11. |

Overrated and Underrated opinions are Overused. People should make constructive arguments about such show that they deem Overrated or Underrated about its elements and its cause and effect that makes that show Overrated or Underrated. Not just use those two words because they either hate a popular show or love a lesser known show. Also Occultic;Nine was a really good and intense addition to the pseudo-science centered genre. |

@superred Well, first of all, deconstruction is a form of literally analysis that seek to take apart and analyze the meaning of the text, it has nothing to do with making genre tropes appear realistic, you're probably thinking of subversion. That's not how TV tropes defines a deconstruction. "The genre is basically boiled down to a set of tropes, conventions and a typical premise. All of these features are then played straight; without shying away from any unpleasant consequences and/or causes of these features. Basically, the heart of the genre is laid bare, warts and all. It is not solely done to denote how unpleasant a genre or trope is, but to break away from the clichés and stock themes said genre or trope has acquired." So I think School Days definitely applies. It has all the typical tropes of the genre but shows the horrible consequences of a bunch of naive, trusting young girls all putting their romantic hopes and dreams on he same person, who turns out to be very selfish. Not that TV Tropes is the be all end all definer of how the term "deconstruction" can apply to various works of fiction, but this is much more in line with the way I generally see people use that term than the definition you're using. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GenreDeconstruction I just went to your list, you have watched like about 10 harem shows at most, maybe more if you count stuff like S;G as one, that's not a significant amount if you ask me. Fair, I mean I'm no expert but I think I get the idea. I also watched more when I was younger, but I do not have any shows from back then on my list. Only the shows I've watched post 2012. Well the point of harems aren't to be realistic, they are a wish fulfilment for people who like sexy girls, so I'd say you are doing wrong if you are looking for complete realism in the genre, regardless SD isn't fully realistic either considering a bunch of random nameless girls just decided to have sex with the MC for no real reason iirc, I know harems aren't meant to be realistic, that's why I thought using tropes typically used in a wish fullfillment fantasy to tell a more realistic story about heartbreak and betrayal was interesting. The characters in School Days are intentionally written to conform to the tropes of the harem genre because it's deconstructing the genre. I think some of them develop out of that to an extent. No problem, I hope you like it at least. ^^ Sorry I'm not gonna be able to give you that deep of a rebuttal on Gurren Lagann, I haven't seen it in years but that's pretty much all I got from it at the time. I'll give you that Simon certainly does come of age and have a lot of things happen to him. That doesn't mean it's done through effect dialogue or story tellling, which I didn't think it was. I'm not gonna sit here and compare the characters of Gurren Lagann to School Days because I mean apples to oranges. They were written for completely different shows and purposes. Well it has amazing animation for a TV series, movies of course have better animation because of the shorter length and better time management that allow for more staff to add frames without causing a production disaster. Why do you think animation is not important in a visual medium like anime? I didn't say it wasn't important, I said it doesn't particularly effect my overall enjoyment. That's something that comes more from directing and writing, I think. You said I was wrong because I called Gurren Lagann boring, not because I called it low quality. Which I don't think it is, honestly. I think the writing is really mediocre, but I can admit that it excels in most other aspects, especially animation. I can appreciate the animation without being interested in the story it's telling. I also don't think you need incredible animation to tell a great story, if you can utilize it well. A better example than School Days would be something like Rose of Versailles. Yeah, I've never been very good at explaining why I don't like Gurren Lagann. I found the characters to be pretty empty and didn't like the writing. That's all I can say really, it's not because of some huge flaw or something. I just got nothing out of it aside from that it looked nice. |

I thought Gurren Lagann was overrated. The theme song is great, the fight scenes were good but oh my gosh the characters annoyed the heck out of me! The only characters I actually liked was the main character, Nia and the bro. Everyone else could just jump off a cliff. Death Note ended when L died. |

Death Parade tries too hard to be deep. Your Lie in April had a easy premise to spark emotions in the first place, so shouldn't be considered a masterpiece just because it could pull it off. That's expected. |

Logh sucks (shouldn't be controversial if more people that aren't bandwagoning idiots watched all of that shit) Mushishi is not good. Largely outclassed by every other episodic/fantasy/slice of life show out there. Very monotonous, should have been one season of 12 episodes. Ginko enters a village full of people looking exactly like the guys from last episode, something is going on, it's Mushi, Ginko solves the problem, ending is bittersweet. Rinse and repeat every single episode, zzz. |

(Hell, I gave Z Gundam, 8th MS team, and Rahxephon 9's, and those have their fair share of problems (And are much more deserving of R2's current spot)) |

Netorare isn't that bad. I don't really get all the hate for it. If you don't like it either just ignore it or don't self insert yourself into the mc. Most of the time it's just fap material so there's no reason to make such a big deal out of it. As a sidenote: Idols are cute and Idolm@ster (2011) is a great anime. |

I reckon the legality of lolicon is good as it allows pedophiles to have an outlet which doesn't involve harming anyone. OT: Kimi no na Wa was definitely a solid film but is highly overrated. |

Thinking Rem is best girl does not automatically make Emilia trash, and vice versa. Applies to other waifu wars as well. (I prefer Rem, but I also think Emilia is a wonderful person.) Obviously there will be characters that you dislike, but disliking someone purely because they are the love rival of your favorite it just silly. It's okay to only watch subs. It's okay to only watch dubs. It's okay to watch them both. It's okay to watch anime the way that makes you happy without trying to force your beliefs on other people. Speeding up anime is okay. Your anime watching experience is your own and you should enjoy it in the way you like and makes you comfortable. In fact, there are no rules to watching anime. As long as no one is getting hurt, it's okay to enjoy your anime however you want. It doesn't matter if you speed up your anime, mute it, or watch it reflected in a mirror. Seriously, you do you. |

- FLCL is boring - Shin Sekai Yori is poor storytelling and definitely not intellectually compelling - Digibro is mostly right - You can't use meta knowledge from an anime's openings to reliably predict story spoilers (some anime OPs are just character model soup) - madoka didn't become a god - yanderes are awful - Your Name needs to be called out for its comet nonsense, and defending it with "it's just a movie" or "but theres fantasy stuff in the movie too" is intellectually dishonest |
There is absolutely no reason why I should accept "turn your brain off" as a valid excuse to defend a poor show. ~ blatant ad: https://myanimelist.net/blog/Crusader_8 I spend the time to write it, so please read it lol |

Akira is the worst (Anime) movie I've ever seen. Neon Genesis Evangelion makes no sense if you don't watch the second movie. I still hate the art style in One Piece but the story fortunately makes me forget about that. German dubs are love and life. |

- I hate Asuka - People who worship seiyuu excessively should just bury themselves - I prefer manga - Skirt no Naka Wa Kedamono Deshita was actually an enjoyable anime, even though it was >this< close to becoming a hentai and has a trap character (which I actually really love tbh) - Kimi no Na Wa is probably the turning point of Shinkai Makoto's career going downhill as an "excellent" anime director Haters come at me, I've already ordered my own coffin anyway |

One Piece is incredibly overreated and bad, the manga is better. Naruto is a better anime than One Piece NGE is pretentious and terrible. It also has one of the worst anime openings I have ever seen. Attack on titan is really overrated and just an anime version of the walking dead but not bad. Inuyashiki is just revenge torture fantasy for people. |

OT: Netflix's interest and investment in anime isn't a bad thing. their "binge watching" model sucks for anime but they funded many shows like Ajin, Knights of Sidonia and LWA and Devilman: Crybaby and they will fund more good shows in the future and that is a good thing. |

1 Sibyl is not (simply) evil and people watching the series with this mindset will much more likely misunderstand many things in the show. 2 Thanks to the murder of Makishima, Sibyl was denied of learning from his case and integrate his point of view into the system. Due to that a second Makishima type person will have to appear in the future (or the unfixed problem will bring Sibyls society to fall by further escalation) and knowing the first case it will be a bloody mess. Therefore Kougami Shinya is indirectly accountable for mass murder in the future. So much to the great “hero” you are cheering for. 3 The issue described in Psycho-pass2 is not only a challenge for Sibyl but also for the states we are currently living in, in real life. Within the next lets say 10 -200 years our states (all of them) will have to face several global constitutional crisis (the one in the show is just one of them) which when leaving unfixed will drive this planet into a living hell. The general reaction to PS-2 gives you a rough estimate about how many people are sensitive to the problem right now and how our chances are. 4 A piece of shit understands more about systems then an average human. |

I could be wrong, but I think that the character designs are simplistic and repetitive in order to emphasize that a good story doesn't need flashy colors and wacky designs in order to be a good story. The focus is on the message that is being delivered, not on the method of delivery. It definitely won't be good to everyone, but some thought went into character design, which is imo kinda unique for anime He's the most popular because he's basically a middle schoolers wet dream. He's got an OP power, ladies love him, he's self confident, he's super smart, rich, and an above average vehicle operator. He's pretty much everything a middle school boy wants to be - and middle school boys has to be at least half of anime viewers lol To me he just seems douchey, self righteous, and unnecessarily arrogant. Not tremendously appealing! |
