Kill la Kill is objectively good.
TTGL and Death Note are good throughout all parts of the show.
Serial Experiments Lain and NGE are pretentious 2deep4u garbage.
The Watamote anime is just as good as the manga.

I don't get slice of life or cute girls doing cute things shows. There's no action, no drama, no romance, it's not even funny or interesting, and it does nothing new with technique or storytelling. I would understand ecchi scenes or fanservice but most of these shows don't even have that. Even the character designs are the same. There's not even a male for the viewer to project onto.

I literally can't understand the appeal.

It should be more like generic girls go to school and act like retards for 25 minutes show.

Well obviously, it has more episodes to cover less school time, thus it's more spread out. But that should be a good thing, considering the type of show K-on is, personally, the fact that the pacing is slower only makes it more enjoyable.

>>139154107

The problem is that you are assuming that Yui (and the other characters for that matter) stopped her character development in season 1, which is wrong, although I would agree that the attention seems to have shifted drastically to Azu-nyan, that kinda put me off because I don't really like her character all that much (she's my least favorite), however I understand the necessity of a characters that delivers the conflict, in this case the kouhai that is left behind, so it makes sense for the sake of the plot to focus on her.

What I mean is that people who want to instill contemporary western values on a medium that is inherently Japanese are fucking dumb and missing the entire point.

Pandering to otaku keeps anime from moving too close to western (and by western, I mean American) values by scaring away (if you'll forgive the term) the mainstream. And isn't the whole point of watching anime to experience something different from our own culture?

I'd say it's a form of art that should be allowed to be appreciated by anyone, and it should strive for quality. I also wouldn't consider the call for less pandering as "instilling western value" as you called it. There's anime that have been very well-received and appreciated by everyone on both sides of the otaku spectrum that didn't go out of their way to pander or use excessive fanservice or what have you. Cowboy Bebop and Trigun come to mind, along with the recently finished ERASED. They can also easily achieve the sense of a different culture without having to be pandering either.

Then again, I'm one of those guys who agrees with Miyazaki on his views on the industry, so I may be biased and bitter.

Grimgar is actually the best trappedingamelike anime. Also the more realistic.
Konosuba is a parody so doesn't exactly counts It's 11/10

I doubt the stuff you like is going anywhere, but that doesn't mean that there can't also be stuff trying to do something new or different.

If you get a few shows pandering to you a season then does it really matter if there's one trying to be Katanagatari or Tatami Galaxy or just something new and different? I just like variety. 10 years from now I'll remember Kid's on the Slope but I really doubt I'll remember Amagi Brilliant Park for example.

It's not as popular for the mainstream masses or casual anime fans. Its on the border between obscure and normal which makes it perfect for our contrian browsers.

I legitimately think Haruno Sakura isn't that bad. She's got a lot of potential as a character but she sufferes from being not Naruto or Sasuke and having a Vagina, so Kishimoto can't write her for shit. I feel like if she was given to a compotent writer she'd actually be a decent heroine.
>>
>>139147454
Most of these are not unpopular opinions, and why are you all over the place? Lumping in Eva with Lain? Two entirely different shows with practically no overlapping concepts or themes.

Have you seriously been on /a/ 5 minutes? Have you seen any of the shows you just listed?
>>
I don't get why people like Clock. She looks like an edgy little bitch. My favorite DAL is Origami.
>>
>>139147454
AgK is edgier than Elfen Lied. It just has better art and more girls with different forms of edge to make waifu fags not notice how cancerously edgy their shit series is
It's also worse because it doesn't have Bandou

Elfen Lied's manga is good just because of Bandou
Even if everything else is shit he makes it well worth the read

The art in Black Lagoon is gross because it looks like 3DPD shit. All the characters are detestable too.

When any dere becomes a violent ___dere they stop being good
This does not include gentle femdom
Male violent tsunderes are a cliche breaker and are thus okay while females are not

Foreign countries can do and have done anime well, just as good as Japan and in some cases better. Wakfu and Teen Titans use the style and are fantastic.
>>
/a/ is worse than /v/. /v/ has plenty of off topic threads but is on point a lot more than posters give it credit for, and /a/ gets away with many nonsense threads that belong on /c/, /cm/, or even /h/ but is not vilified for it because it's technically anime/manga. This would be fine if not for the huge egos and childish lashings you see come from /a/. Naruto fans are far less a threat to the sanctity of the board than Naruto pasta spammers.
>>
Samurai Flamenco is exceptionally well-written.
Tamako Market is one of the best shows to come outta the studio.
HorribleSubs and Crunchyroll and the like are 100% good and positive things we should be appreciative of.

>>139166124
It's a little rough around the edges but holy shit it's got a lot of heart. Lotta love in that show and you can really feel it.
>>
>>139166124
Tamako has some really fantastic moments, and it definitely had the potential to be a truly great show.
The problem is that they spend way too much time focusing on Dera, who is neither interesting or entertaining, and the islander subplot, which is wholly pointless. Still a good show, but if they kept it more grounded and focused more on the people in the Shopping Arcade, it could have been truly great.

The only reason Crab became Araragi's girlfriend was to find a less contrived reason to stop him from getting with the other girls. Proof of this is the fact that she barely has a role in the story and seems to barely be a character anymore.

The genre at its core is not what I mean to dismiss, it is the series which comprise it. As far as iyashikei/SOL goes, the only one that has impressed me is Aria, and that is mostly for setting, because god knows the characters are dull.

Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency > Stardust Crusaders

Phantom World is a good show, but the opening episodes were weak, the characters are a bit dull, and people expect more than just competence from Kyoani. Also anti-Kyoani shitters are always looking for an excuse to shitpost and Phantom World is a good target.

Anyone who reads manga would know exactly how much better and more complete the source material usually is. It sounds like you're just trying to justify not reading it.
>>
I believe that it's a good thing if an anime adaption has an anime original ending/route, because that makes it stand out from the source material.

Although it would be nice for source viewers if they get to know about this beforehand, either by the anime crew mentioning this on the twitter or the anime website, or the anime having a title that makes it clear that it will be stand-alone, so that source material purists don't have to feel like they're wasting their time.
>>
I don't understand the hate for Kill la Kill. It's pretty much what I expected from the guys who made TTGL. It's flawed but TTGL was also really flawed.
>>
>>139169770
Speaking of, source material purists are dumb. An adaptation should be judged on its own merits, not on how accurately it follows the source material.
Also source material fags need to stop blaming people who are confused about shit because the source explained it better. Blame the studio.
>>
>>139170121
I'm a huge TTGL fan and even I didn't really like it. I didn't like the whole theme of it and found it stupid. Even though the creators are known for their fanservice in what they make, I still didn't like all of it in KLK. There are limits, even for Trigger, and I feel like they need to be aware of them.
>>
Discussion of trigger shows (and a few others) should be banned for the sake of the board, and Iyashikei is the most repulsive genre of anime.

Casual ecchi is an artform that needs to come back.

KLK was sort of just made up as they went along.

I actually enjoyed KlK a lot more than I did TTGL. There was something about the aesthetics and direction of KlK that struck a cord with me. Despite how bare and disorganized KlK could be: I genuinely felt more emotionally invested in the characters than I did for TTGL's cast (Kamina included).

Don't be such a presumptuous little faggot, because that's not what my post was implying at all. Lain is intentionally abstruse to the point that it would be easy for someone who's not invested in it to just write it off as pretentious bullshit without a second thought. I say this as someone who enjoyed Lain too, so fuck off.

Anyone who's not a complete idiot knows that the religious imagery wasn't the symbolic part of Eva.
