Why do people like to compare with another popular anime when describe about an anime although it doesn't make any f*cking sense?

zal said:
Because you didn't explain yourself properly nor make much sense.

Yet you didn't elaborated on these points, you started rambling about the comparison only based on the title of the videos and at time contradict yourself.
"The only similar thing these 2 shows have is they both have settings about playing video games" that's enough ground to start a comparison. Maybe you disagree because you probably like the other anime and feel that the comparison with SAO throws a bad light on it but that has nothing to do with the comparison being appropriate or not.

"it's like comparing between Evangelion and Code Geass because both shows have robots!" you can do that as well, I don't see what's so ridiculous about it. You can compare how the two shows use robots or how robots work because both have robots.

However you are the one that is imposing his opinion on other that these comparisons are ridiculous without any real argumentation on why or even what are those comparisons. According to you "they just can't do it"

Because your language is too aggressive thanks to your continuous usage of fuck every fucking sentence for no fucking reason other than fucking make you sound like you are fucking mad. Using fuck is useless in a discussion, doesn't add anything meaningful to the topic.

What are those comparisons and why are they brain-dead?
On the contrary you just said that these shows also have differences therefore you can't compare them. However in that case EVERY SINGLE SHOW is UNIQUE because there will always be at least one single difference that will justify you for saying that you can't compare them.

You can compare anything because anything can be generalized to the point that has something in common with almost anything else, "needing research" is not a requirement. You can't say that 2 things are absolutely incomparable. On the other hand you can discuss how relevant those comparisons are which you are not doing at all in this thread.

You didn't start this thread as a discussion more like "this is what I think and you have to agree with me" just because you don't agree with what anime are compared. You said there's no comparison between Ajin and Tokyo Ghoul but Pullman presented some points they have in common for comparison but you won't agree (and this is my assumption) because you like a show (Ajin) but dislike the other (Tokyo Ghoul) and are not enough open minded for comparisons beyond your taste.

And finally, those are just clickbaits so don't overthink them.

I say one more time, I don't said that you can't compare these shows, but these comparison don't have any actual meaning and it bore me and I don't understand why people keep making these type of comparison instead of good comparison that have real purpose of building criticism.

You just take this thing out of context bro. I said this comparison "make no sense" because of the term "rip-off". Do you know what "rip-off" mean? It's like saying Ajin is the copy-paste of Tokyo Ghoul and has no value whatsoever.

So I proved to him that Ajin has a lot of different things with Tokyo Ghoul and the only thing that "feel alike" is the settings and I think that Ajin isn't the "rip-off" of Tokyo Ghoul.

And why can you conclude that I hate Tokyo Ghoul just because I disagreed with this guy?

EThMAS said:


I don't understand WTF are you saying. The title is "Haikyuu art style with Yuri on Ice dancing". Is Yuri on Ice about "dancing"? And what do two shows have in similarity? They are both about sport? And what do Ajin and Tokyo Ghoul have in similarity? They are both dark?

With your logic I can compare Ajin with LoGH because both shows have strategy, military and politics elements!

EThMAS said:


I just ask you one question: Do you ever get bored because of "XX vs YY" type of threads? If you don't then ok, nevermind!

zal said:
I got to that conclusion not because of the rip-off sentence but because of what you wrote in this post:

Also yes you can compare Ajin with LoGH regarding their use of strategy, military and politics.

EThMAS said:


Do you even read his post bro. He said that comparing between Yuri on Ice and Ballroom, Ajin and Tokyo Ghoul is ok, because they have "a fair amount of similarities" but he found comparison between Ajin and LoGH, Tokyo Ghoul and K-ON are weird.

While for me comparing between Ajin and Tokyo Ghoul is just the same with comparing between Ajin and LoGH just because only the similar thing that I found out is these two shows have settings that "feel the same". I don't see the "fair amount of similarities" like he said.

zal said:
I did read but I am not Pullman so I don't necessarily think the same. They might be weird but if you want to make comparisons based on those grounds then (for me) you can, even Tokyo Ghoul compared to K-On.

Those comparisons being relevant or not are another topic, topic that maybe you wanted to discuss here but compromised by presenting it the wrong way.

You didn't say what those comparisons were nor why according to you they were brain dead. You just said that they should stop because they can't compare them so in response you get people disagreeing because they think you can compare them if the comparison is relevant.

Instead of focusing on what makes a good/constructive comparison you made the thread about if people can make comparisons.

Look like some people don't understand my idea. Here are some good and "make sense" comparison

-Compare between One punch man and Mob psycho 100 to see how the author (ONE) develop his writing skill and characters building skill.

- Compare between Mushishi and Natsume Yuujinchou in term of similar way of story telling, to see how these two shows have a good story.

- Compare between old style light novel and new type of LN to see how the LN trend is evolving over time...

It's type of comparison that need research and building criticism.

It's not the type of brain-dead and pointless comparison that just like typical "XX vs YY" circle-jerk.

EThMAS said:


Compare between Mushishi and Natsume Yuujinchou "make sense" because they both have a similar great way of story telling. And this element made these shows have good story. This comparison to prove that even the shows don't have a complex story with a lot of plot twists, they still have a good story if they have a great way of story telling.


If you want to make a video with your ideas, you should do some research and prove points like:


- What are elegant performance arts?
- Why these two shows stand out among other sport anime? What are their unique features?
- Why are you compare between Yuri on Ice and Ballroom e Youkoso, and not compare Ballroom e Youkoso with others like Kuroko no Basuke? After all what things that you want to prove?

If you can prove all these things, then your comparison is good and "make sense".

EThMAS said:


Honestly, after seeing these videos' titles, I just go ranting. But doesn't after all I already gave some examples of good comparison here.



And here:

However looking at your examples, isn't comparing SAO with King's avatar in terms of approach of in-game life to see which one has the better/more interesting approach?
