This is more or less how I felt about hyouka but that’s just because SoL isn’t really my taste (and it doesn’t do justice to it’s “Mystery” tag). I definitely wouldn’t call it trash though, just that I think the quality of animation and well utilized color schemes were its best aspect.

Violet evergarden is pretty much the same thing. I enjoyed this one a little bit more than Hyouka but regardless it’s animation quality carries it.

Bummed to hear that though I was actually planning on watching Fireworks in the near future.

Bro the Music Video for that thing is AMAZING! Like wow it's amazing. I was shocked when I saw the score and read the reviews tho. It makes sense tho after i read the english title.

SAO was gorgeous to look at, had amazing visuals. I just wish I could say the same for the characters and story.

Also Hyouka and Violet Evergarden, though not really crappy, were utterly, painfully boring, and I couldn't even bring myself to finish the former.

Damn, only watched 2 minutes because the animation was so beautiful it definitely going to watch the movie, may as well not risk a minor spoiler. Will have to go back and watch this music video after.

Thanks for sharing this has me optimistic about watching Fireworks again.

Lol I forgot about guilty crown. If ever a terrible hole filled plot was carried by good animation and sound, it’s guilty crown.

I’m digging attack on Titan though I don’t understand all the hate. Love a good plot with cliffhangers.

“Crappy anime” and “anime eye candy” are to ones own tastes. Like I I love testament of sister new devil and really like how it’s animated (yes the ecchi is sometimes anoying but it is also sometimes funny) but I really like that animation style. However, who is anyone to say that an anime is crappy, just because you don’t like it doesn’t necessarily make it crappy, and don’t even get me started on “critics” scores...anime is very subjective, you can find anything to your tastes and if you try something out of your comfort zone you might actually enjoy it. A little off topic I know but hay-ho sh*t happens lol!

I wasn't talking about Attack on Titan. I was talking about this shit
It's made by the same team as Attack on Titan, shamelessly rips off Attack on Titan, revolves around zombies (instead of titans) attacking a giant train (instead of a giant wall), and the plot is a glorious train-wreck.

Thus, Attack on Train-wreck is the most perfectly fitting name possible for that trash.

Aah kabaneri. Iunno I don’t wanna argue over it too much everyone is entitled to their opinions but I really don’t think it’s much of an attack on Titan rip off personally.

Literally the only similarity is an MC harnessing the power of the enemy which is an age old trope, much older than anime in general for that matter.

By that logic I don’t think there isn’t a single piece of anime out there that isn’t a rip off of some ancient literature.

The studio and director were the same at AoT but the story was written by the guy who wrote Code Geass.

- Post-apocalyptic world
- Steampunk settings
- Mankind forced to live in enclosed places (cities or villages with huge walls surrounding them)
- Man-eater monsters threatening the existence mankind
- Hot-headed protagonist with major temper issues and one-track "kill 'em all" mentalities because of some tragic loss of a family member
- Protagonist is ostracized by rest of society
- Protagonist becomes a hybrid of human and the monsters, now extremely powerful because of that
- Protagonist has close female friend who is an overpowered fighter, putting the most proven soldiers to shame
- Hometown of protagonist invaded by these monsters at the very first episode
- Same director (Tetsurou Araki)
- Same producer (Jouji Wada)
- Same animation studio (Wit Studio)
- Same music composer (Hiroyuki Sawano)

I mean it's fin if you like it, but it's obvious what the producers were trying to do with this project, which is capitalizing on Attack on Titan's success.

Shinkai and A-1 Picture were the first that came to my mind reading the title. Ah, let me add ufotable, I almost forget that one. So sad, the beautiful animation got wasted for crappy game adaptation.

Yikes, all the people bashing Shinkai and A-1... I guess I hold an unpopular opinion there.

The first one that comes to mind that surprisingly hasn't been mentioned yet is Nerawareta Gakuen. The visuals were gorgeous, but the plot was an absolute clusterfuck.

Nah, you're the one with the popular opinion. People just love to hate on anything that's mainstream. I've thoroughly enjoyed every Shinkai film I've ever watched; fuck the haters. =P

Ooh yeah, this. I really tried to get into K, but other than its aesthetic, literally nothing about it was holding my attention.

I thought "eye candy" meant beautifully drawn and animated (ex: "Venus Wars", F91, ...) but reading this, it just means colour saturation, light filters and the usual.
