I just can't stand it if people pretend to not judge some series before they have seen it. If they didn't every series (ever produced) would be of exactly the same interest to them and there would be no guideline whatsoever to decide what they should actually watch in accordance with their taste. We all have our preferances and methods to judge what is worth our time because it might interest us and what not, you're definitely no different. Especially when I look at the big number of series you dropped after like 1 or 2 episodes. In many cases a first episode is a worse reference for judgement than the official genres.
...And now you are mentioning my 'list'. I simple drop animation when it is boring. Number rating and all those rantings are really, just for fun. Even if I drop, I still have internet and I can still follow how animation is going. There is difference between simply having bordom lack of interest and making true 'judgment' and resulting it to skip the entire series.

There are 'FANS' who do know that those decisions are rash. No-one says anything when it was indeed eechi*infinite + martial art fetish animation, that's the thing. You still 'misjudged' the series. In your first post, it almost looked like just saying "huh. It has eechi genre, martial art and school. So it won't be good. Pass". There are still many other ways to gather much better information about the series, then say out loud, 'it doesn't look good'. Nevertheless you know, it is always open for attack when you don't really state every single process of that 'filtration' of what you watch; it's an internet. When I have my own strict taste, I never say out load any early judgment to anything that I haven't watched . That's some 'respect' for fans.

Honestly, being fan of Medaka Box myself, it is disrespecting how people just saying things that isn't even an issue in actual series at---all.

Unless you actually know some concrete information about the show (no, a smattering of generic genres on MAL is not concrete, especially when there's seven of them with no indication of order of importance or whether it is parodying them or playing them straight or how much of either is present or anything), it's quite easy not to judge a show before seeing it.

As you gain more information, certainly you can start to form a very tentative opinion, but that should be a a long way from an unqualified "I found out about this seconds ago and looked at the genres on MAL and am gonna quote that and say 'No, thanks.', hur dur hur" as the first fucking post in the thread. If you don't think that's completely obnoxious, I don't know what to say to you.

If you want to write off a show based on the most meaningless shard of information, do so. But spare the rest of us your prejudices, thanks. Too many damn threads on MAL are full of dozens of "I don't know a damn thing about this property and the anime isn't even airing for months but LOL SHIT MUST SUX M I RITE" and you're not exactly helping.


Lol, the more dropped shows (at an early stage) an user has the more he feels offended by me words, funny. Just because you apparently cannot judge your own tastes and start a lot of shows you obviously didn't enjoy doesn't mean everybody is the same. I've also seen my fair share of shows of more or less any genre and I'm pretty confident I can judge what shows interest me, because I have a high success rate in picking what I like with the minimum amount of information possible, because I don't want to get spoilered.

Also that has nothing to do with "LOL SHIT MUST SUX M I RITE" but purely with knowing my personal tastes and choosing accordingly. "No Thanks" does in no way imply "This must suck".(This is also an important point for you rangoo that you don't seem to understand. YOU are interpreting my statement as trying to be objective, as an attack on one of your favorites, but that says more about your state of mind than it does about mine.)
Genres, art, character designs and summary give me a pretty good idea of what to expect from a series and if I'm likely to like it. I'm quick to judge (it's impossible to not have an opinion after all), but that's because in my experience and for my needs I don't need more time and because I'm just as quick to reassess a series when I gain additional information (but why try to stay "opinionless" in the meantime?) or personal recommendations.

You're just making a fuss because it's the first post in the thread, which is entirely by chance ^^.

But nevertheless, I will continue to from opinions based on what information available in the moment (for a newly announced series that may not be much) and if I feel like it I'll share it in the corresponding Forum thread. Because I can.
I probably regret this post by now.

Getting off-topic here... (¬‿¬)

Just remembered that there was a VOMIC of this.
I don't quite approve of Kamiya Hiroshi as Zenkichi should they keep the VOMIC cast.
Though I think they'll keep the cast for the anime. Oh well, Medaka's voice was a bit okay there.

Is it just double confirmed now?

It was only rumored, in May, as something Gainax might be doing. Hasn't been confirmed until yesterday, and we don't have a studio announced yet.
When I looked at 2ch, they were not even mentioning Gainax often, but instead saying things like JC and others.

Wait, aren't you doing exact same thing with my words when I posted that interpretation, "it doesn't look good"?... The one who interpreted as "No Thanks" as "It sucks" was definitely not me if I remember. It's YOU. I do know what you say, and my point is still on 'misjudgment'. You just repeated what I have already known.

If you are going to talk about 'state of mind', you have absolutely nothing to worry about anyway. When did you become such a caring person? u.u~~~

Parody? Satire? I enjoy both so sign me up!

But for some reason, it kinda reminds me of Gintama. You know, when a lot of times the Yorozuya help others for free and such? XD Not trying to compare or pit them as "the same" (I never do that with anime), but it just popped into my head.

Liking this announcement. Medaka Box was on my list of manga to read for a long time now. Hopefully this is another one/two season anime that I can just fire through to properly make a decision on whether or not to pick up the manga.

A lot of anime have already saved me from picking up ongoing manga that just don't meet my expectations (I don't like dropping manga once I start, an annoying trait xD). Here's hoping this one will.

I probably won't be watching. I'm getting kind of sceptical when it comes to long running anime after the disappointment of Beelzebub, and the Medaka manga hasn't blown my mind as it is.

Have waited for this for some time, i think MaGico might be next one getting adopted after it gains some actual chapters. Medaka is one of my favorite from WSJ, still waiting for Reborn! comeback but this is very nice addition, as long as they follow the real plot not some made up shit.

Finally. Kumagawa is going to be so epic in the anime.

I know it's a parody of Jump action series, but the action itself is damn well good enough to be on it's own.

You got the title wrong, I pretty sure it's "generic shonen # 85944383"
It doesn't think, it doesn't feel, it doesn't laugh or cry..... All it does from dusk till dawn is make the soldiers die.

Unless they change it, Kamiya Hiroshi is going to play Zenkichi so he already has an epic voice.

All I need to know is who will voice Kumagawa..... or if Kumagawa even shows up considering the best character only appears like 50 chaps in.

Highly unlikely. I though he was an asshole for like 70+ chapters.

But character ranking:
1. Kumagawa
2. Hitoyoshi(reminds me of kyon)
3. Medals imouto
....
Bottom. Medaka

She's such a freaking Mary-sue it's not even funny.

it would be a shame if the anime ends before we see Kumagawa but last rumor says they making 2 session (spring/fall) with 13 ep each which makes it very unlikely.

Considering he won the character popularity poll by a LANDSLIDE, it'd be stupid not to include him, but unless they compress the whole flask plan arc a craplot, they will not be able to get to him for a while... which is a shame...

I was going to read the Manga when I read that it's similar to Gintama.
I may try this out, however I'll wait for when some first impressions are made by others.

if you were about to start the manga, expectations are the things one should forget
this one in particular can be really deceiving and don't fulfill the expectations to go a different direction

The show will have two seasons or more, and by the looks of it, each season will have 12 episodes...so we'll get to see Kumagawa in the second season....well according to crunchyroll anyways

In addition, the maintainer of moonphase has revealed in a tweet that when he was given the original Medaka Box tip off, the tip also included information that the series would be a "split two season" show, with the first half of the series airing in the Spring of 2012 (April to June) and the second half airing in the Fall of 2012 (October to December)
