| School Days is the absolute worst thing this medium has to offer. I mean I can entertain the "harem deconstruction or subversion" argument but it still sucks even at that. |
| I'm willing to stand by SAO being a solid and enjoyable anime. It was my first anime and I would die protecting that opinion. |
 |
| The only things I can think of are: 1. Wolfram is a terrible character and Yuuri x Wolfram is not a good representation of "LGBT" or adorable and cute from any angle 2. Conrad is the best character, fight me! Fujoshis accusing him of being an evil OTP destroying creepy pedo who wants to snatch away his little bro's fiance is utter bs! And no, the fish with human legs wasn't his girlfriend and he didn't "steal" the rubber duck from baby Yuuri neither is he obsessed with Yuuri because he's Julia's reincarnation. The only reason fujoshis find him boring is because unlike their best boy Wolfram, he doesn't even try to get into Yuuri's pants. |

MeisterDM said: Orhunaa said: I'm demonstrating to you that you wouldn't be able to say it's a joke and call it a day had it been something else as harmless as liking certain fictional works. @MeisterDM Of course it's different but you have yet to told me why one would be acceptable to utter out and the other wouldn't. Because there are people in this world (and through out history) that actually have been persecuted for their religious beliefs. A large portion of the anime fandom hating on fujoshis and ecchi fans is nothing in comparison. So you have to be one of the most persecuted groups of people throughout history for jokes about wishing on your death to be considered distasteful. Alrighty then. |

| The anime fandom is far more diverse than the anime fandom itself seems to believe a lot of the time, and more often than not there's no such thing as clear labels where you can group fans inequivocally and with no correlation to other groups. You can be a hardcore ecchi fan and still like kids shows finding a different appeal to each, you can be into adrenaline-pumping action and fluffy romance at the same time. They are not exclusive and there's too much of an obsession with creating some sort of validated identity among anime fans with clear divisions. Fluidity is not the single determining factor of good animation. It's not inherently wrong to use a lower framerate if it serves to the overall aesthetic purpose of the scene and if it creates the kind of illusion of movement necessary to convey a message. And if you don't have proper direction, camerawork or a rational use of inbetweens for instance, your amazingly fluid animation may feel like obnoxious noise. Sakuga talk has this kind of double edge where it often calls for further attention for relevant aspects of both production and visual language but it also accidentally creates an identity where people validate animation as long as it has a lot of things moving on screen at the same time and it feels fluid. Tl;dr: Naotoshi Shida is overrated. People who see whatever random female character and can only think of the words "waifu" or "loli" if said character is underage can go fuck themselves because they are annoying and toxic. Same for people who see a group of male characters and immediately claim "fujobait". Same for people who can't conceive being attached to a character in a non-romantic way. No, not everyone is a pervert and not everyone is lusting every time they watch a cute show. There's no such thing as overselling or overthinking. People can find deep messages or attachments in everything. People can be wrong in their interpretations and accidentally see a message in a show that the author clearly didn't intend to. But saying they make the anime look much deeper than it deserves to be is unironically the most shallow and overly defensive comeback ever. Related to that, just because an anime has themes and you can talk about them in depth doesn't make its themes central to the enjoyment and appeal of the show, and doesn't make the show more or less complex than whatever random standard you want to compare it with. |
| Neon Genesis Evangelion (and EoE) are on a league of it's own when it comes to anime quality. It's a travesty that neither are even near top tier on MAL ratings. Top 50 of MAL is full of overrated shows. Shingeki no Kyojin, Steins Gate, Your Name, Haikyuu, Code Geass, JoJo, Neverland, Howl's Moving Castle, etc. Evangelion 3.33 is the best rebuild movie (so far). Darling in the FranXX is a great show, and the last half was better than the first half. TRIGGER is the best studio of the last few years. It is unironically saving anime with passion projects, just as Gainax did before it. Fantasy Isekai, Light Novels, Visual Novels, Cute Girls Doing Cute Things, Melodrama, Neverending Trashy Shounen are the cancer killing anime. |
| probably defending my haikyuu boys >:( <3 |
| I think long running shonen anime is mediocre. But, I'm not one of those people that is like "Oh yeah, Naruto is trash." I like Naruto and I really like One Piece as well. I just don't think they are good shows because of how long they are. They stray from the story too much and it just becomes boring. My Hero Academia is falling into that category as well. It's a good story but it gets boring and hard to continue when it becomes so long. But, also, I am not really that into action anime in general. I'd rather watch a cute anime about girls doing funny stuff in high school. |
| https://myanimelist.net/reviews.php?id=275530 is the best anime production the characters act reasonably unlike most anime, talk like they are actually in their 20s but are not full on normies / units in the capitalist machine just yet and goof around a lot (sort of like how actual early 20s in the west are) the backgrounds/sound/art are all amazing the humor is unique and good and holds up after multiple rewatches the portrayal / approach to the anime and the way the story is told is also unique (which is the main reason why its score is low, cause monkeys couldn't understand what's happening) . I'm not saying unique means better in this case but it's different and it works so it's a breath of fresh air and those are much needed when it comes to anime Haganai is the best out of all similar animes (oregairu, nisekoi etc). It has the best humor by far and Sena Kashiwazaki is the best anime girl in existence has brains , has money, good at everything she does, tsundere, blonde with blue eyes, plays games, talks about stepping on people while still being innocent the entire time bunny anime (from last season) is complete and absolute utter garbage knee socks > thighhighs , by far the sock/leg/dress ratio is much better and more magical |

| Madoka's writing is not good and it's just plain not a great show in general. It's just another retreading of Faust and Kamen Rider, and uses emotional manipulation of the viewer in order to tug at heart strings it does not earn. It's full of plot holes, inconsistencies, and no, Rebellion does not fix anything--just puts a bandage on it. FMA 2003 is far better than Brotherhood in a thematic sense. They're both good shows, but I think the original had far greater weight to it. School Days is actually a pretty interestingly-good show, but not in a traditional sense, I find it far more realistic than a lot of other anime in its genre. That's about it. |

I've said what I meant. Isekai is trash. I don't need to watch romcom anime to I won't like them. If you think it's dumb of me, feel free to. 3 episodes of 3 episodes is a little over 3 hours, and it is also 3 attempts for a genre. Isekai for the most part to me comes off as a "seen 1 seen them all" thing and if it wasn't infecting each season of anime I wouldn't mind as much. I stand by what I've said. If you enjoy Isekai so much, good for you. I like long-running battle Shonens despite the hate they get. |

| The two last episodes from Neon Genesis Evangelion are great. Satoshi Kon is better than Hayao Miyazaki. The best anime was made in the late 90s-early 2000s. You can love both Madoka Magica and Princess Tutu. Same with Evangelion and RahXephon. |

| I've posted once already in the thread, but whatever, here's another one. Claiming a show, or something it does is 'problematic', is stupid. At least with the intention I think its being used, implying something is wrong to be done in a fictional work. No, it's not. A fictional work does not have to abide by yours or anyone else's morals, beliefs and ideas. You might feel its bad, disgusting or whatever, but that's it. Unless something is obviously targetted as an attack on a specific group/person (which basically doesn't happen in widely spread works) it's ok to be. You should be able to fetishize everything and everyone, touch on any taboo, do whatever you want to your characters. Kenzen Robo Daimidaler is hilarious as fuck, same with Uchuu Senkan Tiramisu. Honestly, both deserve much more recognition. Found them infinitely more funny than Nichijou and some other praised anime comedy, though I guess sense of humour is the least agreeable attribute of them all BlancaXLobo said: The two last episodes from Neon Genesis Evangelion are great. Definitely true. So is End of Evangelion. But it's baffling just how many people there are who go heavily either way, and claim the other one is bad. I don't get it. These 2 aren't at odds with each other, on any level. I would even say they're almost complements. Hate this divide in EVA fanbase, really. It's completely unwarranted. |

Claiming that a show is "problematic" is really not that bad, because something can feel problematic to various different degrees, to the person who is watching the show. The question is rather that this term feels loaded because it's often used in confrontational discourse, or mistaken as confrontational. But if you believe a certain moral is wrong and detrimental to the portrayal of a collective, you can certainly call it problematic. It's not like the term is wrong and people should not be afraid of using it. Heck, it's actually annoying that I can't use the term more or less freely to explain MY issues with a show because somebody will call me names just by mentioning the word. Oh, and I'm also in agreement about the last two episodes of NGE. Not so much on End of Eva, which was never that good as an ending to me, but I like it, just significantly less. |

Uhm, not necessarily I think. For instance I can find a show problematic if I think it presents something that I find morally repulsive, but that doesn't mean that it should be solved. Sometimes this moral issue is the very reason behind the existence of the show so there's not much of a solution besides, well.. just not watching the show and avoiding it personally. Or watching it, raging and then letting others experience the show because I don't intend to change it. Interestingly since I tend to avoid incest and lolicon, I think the most offended I've felt with an anime was with the Ryoutei no Aiji commercial shorts, which don't feel like they have any controversy in them. By the way, when I said "disingenuous" I meant "ingenuous". I think the meaning of the phrase changes a lot that way since I was misusing the word xD |
| -cheerful male characters like sakamoto tatsuma, gino from Code Geass, and Fai from Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle deserve more love -Bakugo is, was, and will always be garbage. Same goes for Haruhi Suzumiya. -There is nothing inherently wrong with female characters falling in love with the male MC. Get over it, sheesh. -Tsunderes are way too overhated, especially on this website. -Emotionless/stoic/reserved characters in anime are overrated. Showing zero emotions or giving zero fucks doesn’t make a character cool or badass. -Not liking fanservice/lolicon/incest in anime doesn’t make someone an SJW or a butthurt feminist. |

| Shoujo has as much variety as any other demographic focused media and everyone can find some story to enjoy. Media aimed at kids is as well important and enjoyable. It shouldn't be brushed off just because "kodomo". Waifu/husbando culture is garbage and should stay just a meme. KyoAni is over rated. Studio Ghibli is over rated. |
