| I personally like magic circles, and I also like fairy-sized character with normal proportions. Not sure where my love for the former started, but the one from the latter likely started with an image from the To Aru novels where there's a fairy-sized character with an eye-patch and a witch hat. Ah, and I also like witch hats, and also girls with eye-patches. |
I have a huge fixation on bikini armors as a whole and smaller fixation on its constituent parts such as : brassieres, thongs, highleg or lowleg panties, pelvic curtains, tribal loincloths, open skirts, briefs, short shorts, hot pants, chaps, side faulds along with some accessories like blade sheaths, scabbards, holsters, helmets, hairbands, headdresses, crowns, tiaras, diadems, hats, forehead gems, forehead jewels, forehead protectors, capes, pauldrons, bracers, gloves, gauntlets, elbow pads, knee pads, shoulder pads, chokers, necklaces, ear rings, neck rings, jewelry rings, belly chains, body ribbons, stockings, piercings, tattoos, scars, belts, cuffs, bandages, masks, makeup, circlets, armlets, arm straps, armbands, bracelets, shin guards, thighlets, thigh straps, thigh bands, anklets, wristbands, wrist guards, corsets, capelets, collars, garters, pasties, harness, arm & leg warmers, vambraces, codpieces, high heels, Greek sandals, boots, greaves, swords, staffs, lances, polarms, axes, halberds, scepters. But despite all this, bikini armor is only as beautiful as the woman that's wearing it. |

| I like cute and hot anime girls..... |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| 1] - Husbandos of course, can't lie with that. 2] - cinematic shots, the way certain scenes are framed, I like to notice little details in the way characters are placed on the scene, depending on their psychological state. 3] - nicely directed OP's/ED's/MUSIC VIDEOS [in the show] 4] - Interesting locations that are unique to the setting [or living locations that are the heart of the show like ikebukuro in Durarara] 5] - random arcs, that go into completely different direction than the show was prieviously on/putting characters in completely different settings [like HXH] 6] - details in character design like unique hair, dyed hair, piercings, tattoos, scars [really nasty ones], burnt marks, freckles, beauty marks, bitten nails, fashion or just more personality [even in a simple way, as how characters wear they school uniform] 7] - perspective changes between many characters, many fractions and dynamics [anything that Narita wrote/Fate Franchise] 8] - The way Shaft directs Monogatari series 9] - choirs in OST, straight up chills and probably few more |
[🇮❜🇲 🇦 🇵🇷🇴🇫🇪🇸🇸🇮🇴🇳🇦🇱 🇭🇺🇸🇧🇦🇳🇩🇴 🇨🇴🇱🇱🇪🇨🇹🇴🇷] |
| - Traditional clothings, especially hakama. - Golden hour lighting - Hair when drawn very detailed with a lot of strands |
| I love looking at the girls' knee socks. |
| -Feet that are animated properly. So few anime do this. To actually make the character's feet look nice and animate and not like blocks of wood like they didn't know how to draw -Boys school uniforms with shorts because they're cute and liberating and legs are nice. So many anime have the boys wearing these ugly disfiguring office attire- no fair -More characters wearing boots, especially rainboots or any that are shiny. -Females with mid-length hair... is just my favorite hair length, it's the most feminine hair length maybe. Long hair seems to communicate bitchy/tsundere traits somehow... maybe that's just me. -Traps and femme boys... shouldn't need to explain. If they are in an anime I will watch it. |
I will always pay attention to girls in one piece suits. |

(this is all just Kaneda I just realized LOL) I have a huge soft spot for robots and the older brother-younger sister duo (sans incest). Characters with glasses too! I also love androgynous characters, specially the tomboys. |

| @alshu It's mostly an aesthetic thing, I highly dislike the aesthetics of it. This video has the gist of it, though my distaste for it came from Chinese games instead of movies way back when. I do have a similar thing towards Korean stuff also (With the exception of stylized Korean games, for some reason those are nice, maybe because they try to copy a Japanese style on those?). I remember reading articles calling Eve from Stellar Blade a "doll", and I just thought "Well, the game is just 'Korean' artwise", since technically it has a similar approach to male/female designs to games like AION. I guess I can really be called a capital W Weeb on how apparently I just like anime aesthetics (Mainly 2000's ones, which is funny, considering that I wasn't watching anime back then, and most anime on my list isn't even from that decade) and seem to dislike almost all others with very few exceptions. It was like my mind put Kusuriya no Hitorigoto "in the spam filter" until I discovered it was actually Japanese then decided to watch it (I guess because of Jinshi's design?). For some reason my mind has a VERY strong reaction against "aesthetically Korean or Chinese stuff" (AKA it doesn't trigger in stuff like Mihoyo games or Blue Archive, though I don't see those as being 10/10 either), tenfold or more the reaction I have to English titles or reading "animes". I do not know what causes it, and I know there's a small degree of irony of me making a lot of posts complaining about America's "cultural disgust for anime aesthetics" when I seem to have a reaction you could draw parallels to with Chinese/Korean stuff. |

That being said: While I can promise you that I'll try to no longer brush aside something that looks interesting just for being Chinese, most stuff I come into contact with simply doesn't grab my attention, really. And I say that as the guy that puts anything that has a somewhat interesting poster in their PTW list without even reading the synopsis (I don't even know what Shuffle! is about, but it's on my list because I like the ears of the girl with blue hair). |
thewiru said: it was more about "the vibes". Can you tell the vibes from several scenes which are specifically selected to be awkward and ugly? Like I wouldn't watch those titles either (I mean I watch very few live action to begin with and practically zero chinese ones). thewiru said: simply doesn't grab my attention, really Yeah, that's the real answer I was searching for, this is fair. This is also totally different than "I have a massive negative bias against Wuxia". To hate something you should experienced it and I don't think those games you talked about count. Not to mention there are tons of other genres than wuxia. So yeah, just ignore it, but don't speak ill of it till actually have negative experiences...which is very easy to have, since the most popular donghua like for example Soul Land and Battle Through The Heaves are as trashy as the anime battle shounen...but this is a conversation for another day. |

Lucifrost said: Both, I guess. What's the difference? Is it a matter of copyright? While laying in my bed I was thinking about making a thread where I go into detail into my "preference" of Japanese stuff over Western stuff. (Might publish it later today) Though I feel that in this case, that gives an "extra degree of separation": For all intents and purposes, those are original anime/manga. Either way, I'm pretty sure I never watched an anime based on a Manhua, and I'm pretty sure I never watched any anime based on a western IP (Perhaps the closest thing being that I intend to watch Witchblade in the future?). Lucifrost said: They do that when the anime is made in Japan. It's only the source material that's not Japanese, which led to my other question.

I just didn't find a better word that would have the same nuances as the Portuguese "ter preconceito com": While the word "preconceito" by itself here means "bigotry"/"intolerance"/"prejudice", to say "ter preconceito com" ("To have 'preconceito' with") means you have a negative preconceived notion of something. e.g. "I have 'preconceito' with MARVEL movies" means that you assume bad things about them without having watched those, either because of a previous bad experience or any other reason. alshu said: So yeah, just ignore it, but don't speak ill of it till actually have negative experiences...which is very easy to have, since the most popular donghua like for example Soul Land and Battle Through The Heaves are as trashy as the anime battle shounen...but this is a conversation for another day.
