Kill La Kill is just plain terrible. The only reason it as hyped was because it was made by Gainax so people thought they were getting another gurren lagaan |

Ahhh Future Diary, the show where God chooses his successors via battle royales with some of the worst people in the world and a 4 year old serial killer who's the way he is....just cuz It was fun if you turned your brain off, can't lie about that. |

I couldn't enjoy Kill la Kill for the same reason I couldn't like FLCL and Panty and Stocking. It's just TOO stupid. Over the top I can enjoy, trying hard to be cool is fun. The fanservice and nonsensical writing is just too much. I almost see the appeal, but it just kill la kills itself. |

Mirai and Kill are both pure entertainment shows. Neither are by any means, "very good". (Ignore my rating for Mirai Nikki LOL I watched it a long time ago) |

I think Mirai Nikki has a ton of plot/character problems, but it's a really easy anime to enjoy. The back stories for each character were quite interesting, although they got repetitive after awhile. Akise was fucking hot |

Lord_Pooka said: Parody and over-the-top senses? You are kidding me as well. The title says kill twice. Have they ran out of ideas for their naming that they instead used the word that described the act of murder, twice, to give a wrong sense of such vibes? No, you're kidding me. Since you love replying so quickly here's an addition you seem to have missed: Also the whole point of the title "Kill La Kill" is the fact that it's a pun, with the Japanese use of the word "kill" being pronounced as “kiru,” which can either mean “to cut,” or “to put on (wear)”, which again, are aspects that are actually present in the show when you consider that its motif is literally clothing and cutting/wearing them (things that the show actually DOES deliver). So uh yes, including two Kill's in the title actually help in exemplifying the dual aspect of the pun and the ridiculous nature of the show, something that you obviously missed or outright disregarded. It's not the show's fault if you didn't get the joke, especially since it's a Japanese pun made for a Japanese show at that. Lord_Pooka said: All of your dropped points are basically complaining about the fanservice. The only thing that didn't involve the fanservice was the Yuno bit. I'm sorry, but this is Japan we're talking about, don't expect to be free from perversion no matter whether they had a role to the plot or not. And isn't group rape only to be saved right after it any different than being raped and then literally controlling those who raped you to rape others? It might be the same idea, but they're utilized in two different ways. And treatment of the characters? What were you going to expect from a SURVIVAL GAME anime? Characters who get a chance to develop? Sorry but I personally don't consider rape (such as the ones in Mirai Nikki) as any form of "fanservice" but if it is for you, then whatever floats your boat then. Also you're dismissing the fact that they literally used rape as an exploitative trope for the second time to create the same point/emphasis of tragedy when they literally could've used other scenarios. Utilizing it in two different ways doesn't change its general impact and intent in gaining the audience's sympathy towards the antagonists. Also the rest of your response are things I never mentioned so I don't know what the hell you're going on about the longevity/necessity of characters being developed in a survival game. Lord_Pooka said: Relevant as a suggestion, because all of your complaints are basically "too much fanservice." Except you're putting it forward as an excuse. f you're putting forth the position that the anime sucks and that the manga serves better in offering a better version of the story then by all means I'm all for it, just don't use it to excuse the faults of the anime as if it somehow saves it from being critiqued in anyway. The show has enough problems beyond the fanservice, but you obviously missed that I brought it up mainly because you were using fanservice as a comparative critique towards Kill La Kill. Lord_Pooka said: Hahahahahahahaha, stop kidding me. The fanservice is useless no matter what you view of anime, unless you're picking up an anime where the fanservice is the selling point. Comedic or not, purposeful or not, you can't deny that the fanservice involved in killakill diverted lots of its potential viewers. Except, even with all the blatant use of fanservice, a lot of it actually serve as part of the plot and as well as to set up the comedic tone of Kill La Kill? It's not so much that I'm complaining about fanservice mind you (far from it). "Fanservice" denotes to anything that can serve to hype up the viewer and if done right, it can actually serve in complementing or highlighting aspects of a show (be it action scenes, dialogue, sexualized imagery etc.) You should realize that my criticism towards Mirai Nikki's use fanservice is aimed towards its needless inclusion or general irrelevance to the plot or the show's atmosphere not simply because "oh fanservice". Also I'm sorry, but I'm not one to let viewers' reactions dictate my overall views on a show (don't really care if it does for you though). For all we know, people can simply be stupid, sensitive or outright dismissive about such topics in the first place (much as you are right now for dismissing it over some fanservice and especially the TITLE of all things). Lord_Pooka said: I have yet to hear such a case with Mirai Nikki. Oh wait, when the hack was there even a urinating scene in Mirai Nikki? All I remember is the two females taking a bath, and that's close, but not urinating, so red herring for ya. Or maybe even something to completely destroy your argument. If you really think they urinated, tell me what number was that episode and we'll talk. Episode 10 and 11. It's pretty damn easy to look up considering how infamous they are: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uzi9AX8mG2U http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H94vjjLkCx8 Lord_Pooka said: None of the reasons provided to say why killaterrible deserves to be famous are convincing enough, so I'm having a hard time getting convinced with the idea. Fair game. Except I wasn't even trying to convince you that it deserves to be famous....? Okay then... (also using silly nicknames aren't really helping your case nor does it make you look any better) Lord_Pooka said: Does not matter; everyone rips off things from the others. Just because a company that you love made something, doesn't automatically mean this something deserves skyrocketing hype. And most of the times one of killaterrible's points is "being made by Gainax," I don't give a damn who made what. It does matter, because you literally brought it up as a part of your argument on why it's seemingly "overrated". Must be nice to suddenly push the issue aside to simply close off the argument huh? You're the one who brought it up as a point of contention in the first place after all, but if you wish to close off the argument on that one then feel free to say so (no really I'm not being sarcastic here, just say so). |

I hate to be 'that guy' but all of that is just your opinion.... I liked both Memna and Jintan. Poppo was a likeable character imo as well. Though I agree that cross dresser dud e was a rude fuck.

Ano Hana wasn't the most original, but I thought that it flowed well, was executed nicely, had great art and scenery and used it's simplicity well. It was more likable than Clannad since it wasn't trying to pander to a specific audience (other than Anaru's fanservice) or add bad comedy and moe. |

So uh yes, including two Kill's in the title helps in exemplifying the dual aspect of the pun and the ridiculous nature of the show, something that you obviously missed or outright disregarded. Playing with puns is dangerous either way. Who are you, or who am I, to simply know whether the title means "cut the clothes," "clothes the cut," "cut the cut," or what? And no, that doesn't help. A damn English name with the proper words would've worked better than the word "kill," something this generic company failed to understand. ronri said: Sorry but I personally don't consider rape such as the ones in Mirai Nikki as any form of "fanservice" but if it is for you, then whatever floats your boat then.

You've put them right alongside the fanservice part, so its fair game. And basically you comparing about the rape scenes being not tragic because its an overused one... when in fact the entire thing is a tragedy. Bam. You're ignoring the results of the second rape scene though. ronri said: Except you're putting it forward as an excuse. It doesn't excuse the fanservice as it still exists. If you're putting forth the position that the anime sucks and that the manga serves better in offering a better version of the story then by all means I'm all for it, just don't use it to excuse the faults of the anime as if it somehow saves it from being critiqued in anyway. The show has enough problems beyond the fanservice, but you obviously missed the fact that I brought it up since you were using fanservice as a comparative critique towards Kill La Kill. Notice how your problem is simply that fanservice exists without a reason. Not every damn anime on the planet is going to put fanservice along with a reason for it, this is Japan, perversion takes precedence here, when most anime basically plasters fanservice without putting a plot for it. And yes it does save it from being critiqued, blaming it instead on "added things that basically were better off not being added." ronri said: Except, even with all the blatant-ness and of it, lots of it actually serve as part of the plot and comedic tone of Kill La Kill? It's not so much that I'm complaining about fanservice mind you. Fanservice denotes to anything that can serve to hype up the viewer and if done right, it can actually serve in complementing or highlighting aspects of a show (be it action scenes, dialogue, sexualized imagery etc.) The fact remains that my criticism towards Mirai Nikki's use fanservice is aimed towards its needless inclusion and irrelevance to the plot or the show's atmosphere. Almost a great majority of anime in Japan plasters fanservice without any needed inclusion. No no, don't tell me that nudity must equate comedy. Nudity is nudity, and nudity is pleasure, not comedy. You're complaining not about something that hampers the show, but rather something that adds no value to the show and is often an overlooked aspect of Mirai Nikki. ronri said: Also I'm sorry, but I'm not one to let viewers' reactions dictate my overall views on a show (don't really care if it does for you though). For all we know, people can simply be stupid, sensitive or outright dismissive about such topics in the first place (much as you are right now for dismissing it over some fanservice and especially the TITLE of all things). I have the right to judge it however way I want. In this case, you still fail to get the idea that I got an impression from the title, and instead of providing killing, it provided fanservice. If it had the killing along the fanservice during my first expectations of it that would be no problem, compared to finding out that killaterrible got... fanservice? Yet the title is killing? Come on. ronri said: Episode 10 and 11. It's pretty damn easy to look up considering how infamous they are: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uzi9AX8mG2U http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H94vjjLkCx8 Right... but overall, they only make up 2 minutes total out of the entire show, so I can't see how 2 minutes must affect and make the rest of the damn thing look worse. ronri said: It does matter, because you literally brought it up as a part of your argument on why it's seemingly "overrated". Must be nice to suddenly push the issue aside to simply close off the argument huh? Oh right. You caught me in that. The fact that most people are just bringing up how its made by this generic company as a selling point is just silly, when in does not matter to the overall quality of the series. Who said that the maker of the greatest anime ever (whatever it is, I don't care) would keep making greatest anime evers that basically we ignore what's the content inside and basically look at the fact that they're made by a generic company? Now, you should go ahead and tell me what in the heck did killaterrible do that no other anime did and was basically worthy of ages of hype. If you're going to say the generic "plot, idea, gainax, fights, blah blah blah" then that's not what sails my boat. Tell me why killaterrible is suddenly so popular even though its your generic ultrapopular (something that Mirai Nikki lacks) overrated anime. |

What do you expect when you go into an anime named "Code Geass"? Do you expect some number code for deciphering e-mail messages? How about Steins;gate? Expecting Frankenstein to be guarding an iron gate? Or Bleach. Expecting people to be laundering their clothes? That's hilarious! |

@Lord_Pooka: Honestly, I don't even know why you're still arguing about Kill La Kill being overrated when it doesn't really have an impressive score here on MAL (something that you've already illustrated). It sounds more like you just got caught up in the hype, disappointed by the title's "promise" and allowed those to serve as your determining factor as to why it's suddenly "overrated". Re-posting the following to get my point across: I find that for all the blatant fanservice (both for men and women mind you), the show [Kill La Kill] does a lot more right with its fun/over-the-top yet very believable cast of characters. Nice stylistic visual flair, straightforward yet solidly-written story about friendships, gaining one's self-confidence and notions of body-positivity. I actually see a lot more people dismissing it very quickly so I'd say that it's very underrated indeed (so far anyway). I've only seen the first cour and I'll admit that I was very pleasantly surprised. A real shame too since it seems like a lot of folks were simply put off by the first few eps and dropped it then and there. So my point stands. Kill La Kill isn't actually ranked very highly, and for that, I find that it's underrated. We can simply agree to disagree in this regard if you wish. |

Titles still gives me the impressions and the expectations, in the rare cases in which the title speaks out something blatantly that I should come to expect. Oh wait, how dare I said "rare" if its actually a common now. By the way. Let me look up a dictionary. RedRoseFring said: That's definitely trolling slang computing a person who submits deliberately inflammatory articles to an internet discussion So far, I fail to see how my topic on how killaterrible is terrible is considered submitting inflammatory content. That topic of mine did not divert the direction of the thread's discussion, that is the most overrated and underrated anime, and to be honest, everyone posts why they think why things are overrated/underrated and why through their own perspective, and mine wasn't any different. A last resort move with whom you don't agree with, right? |

That's an even nicer try, because you yet again have to point out what's inflammatory about anything I mentioned, yet insist to call me a troll. Why should I bother myself with people who don't know the goddamn definition of a troll, and twist the definition to fit their own situations? |

Lord_Pooka said: ronri said: Also the whole point of the title "Kill La Kill" is the fact that it's a pun, with the Japanese use of the word "kill" being pronounced as “kiru,” which can either mean “to cut,” or “to put on (wear)”, which again, are aspects that are actually present in the show when you consider that it's motif is literally clothing and cutting/wearing them (things that the show actually DOES deliver). So uh yes, including two Kill's in the title helps in exemplifying the dual aspect of the pun and the ridiculous nature of the show, something that you obviously missed or outright disregarded. Playing with puns is dangerous either way. Who are you, or who am I, to simply know whether the title means "cut the clothes," "clothes the cut," "cut the cut," or what? And no, that doesn't help. A damn English name with the proper words would've worked better than the word "kill," something this generic company failed to understand. If you actually watched the show, the pun does make sense. It's not about possibilities of what the pun could mean when the show clearly has clothing being cut. A company which produces anime for a japanese speaking audience decided to make the title something that makes sense if you understand the language. Gasp! What a newfound concept! I'd also like to see you explain why exactly Trigger is a generic company. |
