worst anime you have seen?

She isn't really submissive at all. In fact she's incredibly independent...I mean she is the manager of the building...and a boss. She doesn't play any fucking games.
Whatever made you think she was submissive? what kind of bullshit analysis of a character gave you that idea?

The side characters did get drunk a lot, it played a big role in the humor and plot development for the MC.. the MC got drunk a total of ONE time during the entire show IIRC and it was absolutely HILARIOUS when he did. and actually one of the most realistic examples of "drunk and in love" comedy i've ever seen. Also the way Kyoko handles it after is spot on perfect. She really took offense to it, as any self-respecting woman should.

bruh the anime is 96 fucking episodes and you got the impression she's submissive? if she was submissive, the anime wouldn't be 96 episodes long. It would be short af just like every other anime romcom in existence.

It sounds like you just don't like Rumiko Takahashi in general. Actually, it's really hard to believe. It sounds more like you're trying to find a reason to dislike it on purpose. She is one of, if not THE MOST successful female manga artist of all time.

and you give what most consider her best work a 1.

but in all honesty, it's probably because you were forced to watch it, instead of watching it because you actually wanted to. A lot of times, when people do this, it ruins it for them, and they WILL give bad scores because of both your preconceptions. The side-characters aren't really important at the beginning. They are just there to cause problems for the MC. Actually, they were intended to be annoying. That's the whole point. But then Kyoko comes along and he takes the abuse just for her. Eventually the side-characters become quite lovable, but yeah at first they aren't really important parts of the show, and it's sad that was the main reason you couldn't like it.

The two main characters are not only deep but extremely realistic and well-written. They aren't just one or two-dimensional characters. they are practically believable people. Even the competition that comes in later, was GREAT to have in the show. I absolutely LOVED the tennis coach. I also loved Godai's side-girl, every last detail of the story, every little thing that went into its creation and resolution was perfectly executed, and it's a shame for ANYONE to miss out on such a great anime if they like the romance genre AT ALL.
Many consider it to be the best romance anime of all time. It's not just me and whatever friends that recommended it, but actual paid critics alike.

From what you've said here, it sounds like you just had a bad experience because someone forced you into watching an anime you didn't feel like watching at the time, and you criticized it poorly for poor reasons due to having such a resentment.

Anyone who would start watching this anime because THEY wanted to, would totally see the point in the annoying side characters(they aren't like that for the entire anime and they actually have quite a bit of depth to them that gets explored but it isn't the main focus) . That's only a small part of the show.

Also the only other thing you said is about it is just flat out wrong. Kyoko is anything but submissive and it's an obvious truth throughout the series when Godai's competition gets involved.

never seen it.
show doesn't even have a single review. lol why is that.
Also it seems like I remember you from before the forums were disabled for such a long time, and you were not only a completely different person, but you had a completely different line up of favorite anime.
With every exchange we've made thus far, I'm more inclined to believe i'm talking to some constructed personality that doesn't actually even exist.
You see my words. You can tell I'm speaking from the heart right?

I don't get that with you.
and I don't exactly know why.

But I feel like this must be some sort of test.
Maybe I should watch this show and watch it without preconceptions.

Another thing about recommendations is that a lot of anime is "recommended" through resentment in itself.

Like, maybe someone was like, "naw man your favorite romance is trash compared to maison ikkoku" so with a big sneer on your face you turned around and watched it just to be able to say they were wrong.

jarring said:


You barely even gave ranma a chance apparently. It honestly sounds like you were FORCED to watch these out of resentment, and it really makes me feel bad for it. You even hinted at it yourself, you just didn't give me any details about the resentment or the way in which it was recommended.

Ranma is legendary for a very good reason. It's debatable of whether or not she "created the tsundere", but she most certainly perfected them with Ranma and Akane. Practically every Tsundere in existence is a copy and paste of their characters without the actual story and personality of the show that made them believable and such enjoyable characters to watch have exchanges.

It was the first manga I ever owned, and I was absolutely enthralled by its comedy. It wasn't until much later I watched the anime, or even actually got around to reading the manga fully. Collecting anime and manga was an incredibly expensive hobby back then as I'm sure you know, and this particular series is pretty damned huge.

Also, it took me many times to finally complete it, like I think the first time I watched maybe the first 30 episode and then quit and later come back and watch the first 50 episodes then quit come back much later and watch the first 75 episodes repeat until i finally finish the anime. the show is actually very formulaic and no one would blame you for getting bored of it after a little while...but there is something about it that keeps you coming back because it is just damned great and actually funny.
I wouldn't doubt most people who watched or read ranma had the same experience, it is pretty common from what I've read.
Like it gets a little too repetitive it gets boring so they stop watching it, but they remember it was so damned funny and a genuinely good show, they come back!
I've watched AND read it countless times.
The show is genius, plain and simple.
And if you don't like it, I don't know what to say honestly.
Sorry? Really, all I can do is have pity.
because for anyone to actually DISLIKE this anime... it's just GOT to be for some really shitty reason I wish they didn't have to experience.

jarring said:


I'm not some numbskull that can't accept people with different tastes.
I just find it hard to believe you're being absolutely honest.

I have watched Ranma with normies that absolutely loved that shit.
There are many people who don't care for "tsundere" but praise Ranma for its ingenuity
Also, the fact that it's a early harem has no bearing on its fanbase.
That's not why people watched it.

People watch shows like Techi Muyo or Love Hina for harem. It's a totally different ball-game and a different experience from Ranma.

The fact Ranma has so many suitors(including other men) is just a small part of the show. It's just a matter of their unique personalities being such big influences on the comedic factor of the show. It's not a typical harem where he is constantly surrounded by women that are always fighting over who gets to sleep with him in bed tonight. It's not some tasteless bullshit like that.

The way Kuno was introduced is probably one of my all-time favorite parts of any anime ever...and that's like... the first 5 episodes.

"what little you've seen of ranma" If you made it through the entire introduction of Kuno which spans I think episodes 2-5? and still didn't think it's funny I'd have to assume something is actually wrong with you.

jarring said:


I guess I'll just have to be, whether or not you're honest.
Just saying you're being honest doesn't prove anything to me.
ever since i started talking to you, it's been hard to take anything you say seriously.
I remember, this is the same guy who believes test-tube babies are in the near future.

jarring said:


No. see what you're talking about is completely fictional.
What actually exists is a completely different thing that treats infertility and the woman still ends up giving birth to a child.
That's not even the ironic part.
What's so fucking hilarious is that you equate it to the bachelor life as if your own personal daddy issues were a weight the entire world had to bear, which will inevitably cause the decline of birthrates everywhere leading to humanity having to resort to growing children in test-tubes to propagate the human species.

jarring said:


Please show me the existence of such technology, oh great and powerful wizard.

btw, by definition, you have daddy issues. People mostly use the term for women, and they are usually all Lolitas. practically all of my girlfriends have had daddy issues. Basically anyone who had problems with their dad, in one way or another has daddy issues. For women, it's usually just them being super strict so they act out and be disobedient just to spite them and they tend to be submissive and very sexually promiscuous with other guys. but for men, it's always because their father just wasn't there at all, and it kinda has the same effect most of the time. it's practically ALWAYS associated with the bachelor life. Like they are obsessed with staying single no matter what and are deeply afraid of commitment. Most of them are usually considered mansluts. like they go to clubs and bars all the time and hook up with random girls. you seem them in television shows and movies all the time, and it actually is quite common and very real. It doesn't have to be as cliche as that though, i seriously doubt you're very sexually promiscuous. Either way it's obvious you have daddy issues, and it's nothing to be ashamed of. Just having that attitude towards your biological father further reinforces your problem btw.

jarring said:


After all this talk about how much you hate children and family, you're not afraid of commitment. Ok.
I believe you.
Damn, you're disabled?
and yeah, I'm honestly not surprised at all you're a virgin.
I picked up on that right away, but it's nothing to be ashamed of, despite what people say.

And yeah, that's not what makes me think you have daddy issues, I didn't look at you and think man this guy probably has LOTS of sex, he must have daddy issues. not hat's not the way it works.

It stems from your ideology of what it means to have a family. They are always afraid of commitment because of their own experiences growing up, well that and it would get in the way of any open relationships. But first and foremost it stems from the father not being there, and what kind of affect it had on you. It effects everyone differently, like I said it doesn't have to be so cliche.
you are your own unique person.
I am not inclined to believe you're unafraid of commitment, especially with the way you spoke earlier in the other thread.
Either that, you were lying, or you've had some deep revelations in the short time you've spoken with me.
Remember before how much you were degrading masculinity, throwing family in the trash, never get married, etc. etc.
I am only saying this because what you, yourself, have revealed to me.

jarring said:


well that entire first part
"I like being single, and I value material possessions over people. I also have extreme trust issues with women"
is classic daddy issue ideology. Just saying.

like it's very by the book and cliche even. The whole disabled and Bisexual thing is very unique though and it's interesting what you have to say about feminists in canada. I'm not a psychologist or anything, but I've been around this kind of stuff long enough to recognize some stuff.

like, everything just made perfect sense after you told me about the no-show.
excuse me if it was belittling. It wasn't meant to be. Not that in particular anyways. There are some things I have said that I do feel bad about, but I don't feel like i should have to apologize either.
The ONE thing I didn't mean any offense by was actually making sense of it all because of the father. It's not supposed to be offensive or belittling, and not everyone reacts to growing up without a positive role model for a father figure in the same exact way even though there tend to be reoccurring themes that are almost universal almost all of the time. There are many other, different things that make up a person...Just having "daddy issues" doesn't make the person, and the term isn't a very good one at that tbh. It's just a shortening of what you told me about your father.

jarring said:
@Seiya
I'm gonna cut this short here cuz i have to go.
All I'm saying is that everything we talked about up until the point you told me about your father made sense thereafter.
That's basically all I'm getting at.
I'm pretty sure that's exactly what I said as SOON as you said it too.
"Everything makes perfect sense now"
it wasn't meant to be belittling or offensive, and you don't have to acknowledge it even. It's not my place. Do what you want. I'm gonna jet.
cya.

jarring said:


And yeah, definitely^^^ i can definitely see that!!
that's the case in many of the situations. It is a matter of fact.

"positive role model for a father figure"
"no show"
there's many things that are involved, and I don't really WANT to talk about it any more cuz it's only making me depressed.
