Tl;dr I read, I write, take photos of shiny things and occasionally my fingers have a mini-seizure on my piano that I attempt to pass off as actually playing it. No genuine pianist is fooled. Also games. Lots of games.
 I use my tags both for brief comments on the series and for (very) loose categorizing. Apart from comment!tags and self-explanatory tags such as 'moe' and 'heartwarming', a quick explanation of some tags I use are: blood and guts: ...hopefully self-explanatory. cardboard protagonists: main characters without any personality whatsoever. noteworthy ending: doesn't necessarily constitute a good ending, simply one that stands out from the rest of the series. Series that are generally accepted to be masterpieces such as Eva, Gurren Lagann et al never get the tag, because noteworthy endings are to be expected. wasted potential: series that usually blew their load on the first (few) episode(s), setting my expectations accordingly and failing to live up to them. Alternatively series with a great premise and a terrible execution. ;_;: tears were shed. I often write OP/ED lyrics in the tags. ...what? Don't judge me. |

I love the username.
BTW saw your website, interesting interests. You like Apocalyptic theories. So I take it 2012 is in your interests?
admit it.
you secretly want to watch animu with me.
i have snacks.
i DO find it endearing that someone cares so much about what i have to say, but that's about it. i'll continue to tear apart the shit i don't like/find absurd and give accolades to the stuff i like.
your friend in jesus,
ana
i guess i could be less random and biting, but anime is absurd and laughable. it's a medium that inadvertantly parodies itseld due to the sheer amount of conventions and stereotypes it tries to embrace. that's why it's harder to fault an anime for being stereotypical and stupid than it is when it tries to take itself seriously while embracing all that i've described.
it's not high art. and when it tries too hard, all of the flaws, cracks in the magical girls' armor, cultural references and stereotypes that wear thin all begin to show and it becomes an entertaining parody of itself.
i do greatly apologize that this world's schools do nothing to teach the kids of this generation about proper storytelling and characterization--as we have a generation of hopped up ritalin heads already writing movies and scripts with such an attitude.
but, in the end, doesn't make it right.
and it's still shit.
whether you approve of my views or not. i hope to god that 50 years from now the "popular" anime of this day, or anime for that matter, are NOT considered cultural works of art.
i have enough venom and vitriol to flood the rivers of this earth.
