ITT: anime you dropped without finishing first episode
well Madoka was pretty good, so I guess you missed out OP
Meganebu, I lost a bet with a friend because of it.
Queens Blade.
The Tatami Galaxy. I'll probably pick it back up some other time, I was way too tired to read that fast.
>>135111980
Why the fuck did you drop Madoka? That show is going to be a must watch anime like Eva or Bebop etc. your going to need to watch it sooner or later just you you know what you everyone is talking about. Years down the road not having watched The Madoka series is going to be like not having a Highschool diploma as a anime fan.

I can see that there is no reasoning with you. I'll just let you know you are missing out and I wouldn't even consider you a true anime fan. I only hope if I ever have kids they aren't quitters like you. I'll still hope that maybe one day you will change your ways but I'll keep away until that day comes. Good luck and may God have mercy on your soul.

Seriously? Why is everyone hating on this series all of a sudden? Because it's "moe-ish" ... the storytelling, art, animation, everything is done beautifully. And the spinoff manga series should be great too.

This is anime and manga. sometimes vns and lns.
these are mediums.
Jojo is great, but its a better manga. the adpatation was okay, but still shit compared to the manga and even some of the games.
moe-shit shines as anime. Lucky star manga is shit, k-on manga is shit. But with the right visual direction, the right music, and the right director to put thart episodic shit into something thats just really damn comfy is amazing.
Mediums are important.
Know which medium to use.

>>135115317
But why though
>>135117898
Um, yeah you tool. People dislike things for very idiosyncratic reasons they can't explain much more than "it's just not my thing" or "I don't like this genre". That's normal, that's the whole point. If I don't like van gogh's starry night, even after looking at it for it for an extra thirty minutes, I'm still going to say "I can't really explain" or "it's just not my thing" the next time you ask me why I don't like it.

Same thing happened to me. I wasn't in any mood to read the subtitles that fast.
I went back and watched it, though, a few months ago. It's really worth watching, and subs are fastest in the first episode.
>>135111980
I did the same thing, then came back and rewatched because I was bored, it was pretty good.

The fact that you require heterosexual romantic tension to even stay at all interested in a series proves you have the entertainment consumer profile of a housewife who only watches soap operas. I hope you realize this doesn't make you someone with standards opposing the weeaboo crowd, it makes you a retard who requires a specific form of pandering to even keep your attention, like a kid with ADHD. You are the one with abnormally pathetic standards here.
>>135118797

TL:DR - Informed opinions really are more valid than ignorant disingenuations.
But people DO know why they don't like things if they're sufficiently self-aware.
I can tell you EXACTLY why I don't like, for example, Katanagatari.
Claiming that NOBODY knows why they dislike something and that it's all just some vague feeling people get is short-sighted and completely ignorant.
What are critics? Isn't their job SPECIFICALLY to know exactly why they like or don't like something and communicate those feeling effectively?
"Why don't you like Madoka?:
"idk i just dont lol nobody knows why they dislike things are you stupid"
Makes someone (You) look kinda fucking retarded, and yes, having no idea why you dislike something is just as retarded.

Yes? He's absolutely correct.
I vastly prefer YuYuYu to Madoka and I absolutely agree, Madoka's storytelling is at the very least decent and the animation is spectacular, mostly because of the artstyle.
Characters is where the show falls short.
This was shit and just because a reputable company animated it that still doesn't make for a good plot with good characters, I fucking hated the girl with the cursed blood....fucking whatever the bitches name was.
I know 99% of /a/ praises this anime as gold but half way through my mind was already made up, I couldn't go on it was so bad.

None, I always give at the very least a show an episode to catch my interest.
There was one I randomly chose to watch a while back called Katte ni Kaizou, which apparently was written by the same guy who did Zetsubou Sensei. The "humor" physically hurt, and I couldn't follow even a tenth of what was happening. Maybe I should try rewatching it, just to see if I can follow it now, but even recalling what little I remember of it makes me cringe.
>>135124739
It was pretty lackluster in the original version, but it's one of the rare, rare examples where the English dub actually outshines the original. Try watching the dub.
Or don't, I'm not your boss.
I will admit it was pretty disorienting having everything out of order, with different situations in the same episode taking place at different times, though.
>>135111980
whatever that one is where every ten seconds some girl looks at the camera and says something like "I like anal, lol" and then the guy goes "waaaaaaaaaaaaaaah" then some page gets a stamp.

>>135115556
>expecting interesting romance from an ecchi anime called Kissxsis
You're a special kind of retard.
>>135136901
Clannad is okay, I enjoyed it, grew to like the characters after a few episodes. It was a fun 24 episodes with a few casual feel trips in the middle. 8/10 for my personal enjoyment. If you hate it already, you should probably give up. If you're thinking, "this is okay, but i have other stuff i could watch," I'd say to stick it out. The pacing doesn't get a lot faster, but once the characters get introduced it settles into actual plot arcs for the remainder of the episodes.
After Story was a 9.8/10 in my book. Something about the whole "family is not enough. hard work is not enough. love is not enough." themes really gets me. 24 episodes on "how to break a man," and I cried like a bitch for about half of them. Gives you just enough time to recover before dragging you back down with the MC. But it's worthless if you aren't invested in the characters' happiness, so you absolutely have to watch Clannad first.
Regardless, I think it's worth sticking out the first half of Clannad so you can get to the good stuff in the second half, and all of After Story. The payoff is pretty great.
>>135136901
>>135137939
After Story gets the 9.8 because of the robot/girl dream(?) sequences. Absolutely hated them in Clannad, started skipping them in After Story. Don't think anything of value was lost, though.
Joukamachi no Dandelion. I think I was caught way too off guard by the "guess what, we apparently have super powers" moment halfway through. Closed it without even pausing.
