I agree, fellow anime connoisseur. At times it was unclear who the MC was, let alone when his harem was going to be introduced for me to make my mind up on who is 'best girl'.
I had to drop it after 3 episodes when the story got too involved, but before that I had been supplementing the show with clips of Umaru to prevent my moe withdrawl symptoms (clinical mental issues) from kicking in.
>>133580792
>I'm convinced what hate it does have here is largely due to its unconventional artstyle
No sher, Shitlock. When you have something belonging to a primarily visual medium that looks more like a Richter scale reading than animation that's going to turn off a lot of people.
>>133580917
There were a lot of PP threads being spammed, both the Ping Pong = SHIT and the Ping Pong = AOTY threads were annoyinga s hell.

nice vague statements anon, the anime delved deep into each individual character. You not being able to appreciate such a simple story is truly a testament of you shit taste. If you think Ping Pong is a hipster show you are truly jaded, it's pretty popular and won many awards.

Just cause cute girls doing cute things is anime's most stand-out narrative difference, it hardly means that anime intrinsically does it better. Or anything else intrinsically worse, for that matter.

Man everybody in this whole thread of conversation is wrong. First of all moe and CGDCT are two different things.

>>133588628
I certainly understand what he was trying to say, and I agree about Hyouka. But I definitely disagree with both of you about Haruhi. When you say that two of the three characters are "overly moe" then I'm not sure which ones you mean.
So what is moe? Moe is a state of having romantic feelings for a fictional character. That's all moe meant when it first became a thing. But then once producers started trying to cash in on this by creating characters specifically in order to elicit these feelings, people started using the term "moe character." So saying a character is a "moe character" is saying something about the intent of the author.
Now I would argue that none of the main girls in Haruhi are moe characters. All three of them are parodies of different moe archetypes pushed to such an extreme as to only be off-putting or annoying. Mikuru is so moe it doesn't even ring true, Haruhi is tsundere without the dere, and Nagato is a Rei clone without the hints of underlying humanity. They're archetypes pushed into an extreme their logical extremes to the point where they don't work anymore as moe. And I think this hints at the "overly moe" you were describing.
And what I would call the genius of the series is that these characters still all end up expressing heartfelt feelings for MC but in non-traditional ways and without ever betraying the extreme natures of their characters as described above. Haruhi never becomes dere but it's made clear how much she cares about Kyon through her actions. Even when she wakes up in the hospital room at the end of Disappearance her expression goes from annoyed directly to pissed off. Mikuru never stops being superficially moe, but eventually takes on an air of motherly tenderness with Kyon. And Nagato literally alters reality in the hope that an alternate version of herself can express her feelings.
This is why Someday in The Rain is such a great episode. Because it perfectly lays out the nature of these three characters.
>>133589430
>Moe is a state of having romantic feelings for a fictional character.
I'd say it's more like, a character's traits elicit a very strong positive response, not necessarily, but often romantic.
>>133589504
>a character's traits elicit a very strong positive response
This is way too ambiguous though. I mean, is Han Solo moe? His character traits elicit a very strong positive response. And it's also just not how moe was ever defined. The important thing about moe is that you feel romantically drawn to a fictional character in the same way that you would a real person. That's what defines it, that crossing of the boundary between fiction and reality.
>>133575562
No, Dennou Coil blows Baccano! out of the water.

>>133589695
And I agree with that. Honestly I think that was one of the failings of the series. It starts off with these characters being really obvious parodies, but the parody never really goes anywhere. And at the end of the day all three of them are still just possible romantic interests. The biggest failing is certainly with Mikuru. The line between parody and moe just kinda gets more and more blurred.
>>133589769
That's my whole point. I'm arguing that Haruhi isn't actually moe because she has no dere.
>>133589774
The important point is the distinction between the feeling of "moe" and a "moe character." Everything that you're saying is true for the feeling called "moe." It's just a feeling, and so is completely subjective. But the idea of a "moe character" is more about the intent of the author (otherwise the concept of a "moe character" has no value). It's about whether or not a character was intentionally designed to elicit moe feelings from its audience. So if you're trying to analyze a character and decide whether it's a moe character it's a process of looking at the japanese young adult fiction landscape and deciding if the author has utilized elements that will engender moe feelings. The most obvious way of doing this is figuring out if characters fit into standard moe archetypes, but it can sometimes be more complicated than that.

I'm not sure I can agree with this. Technically, any female character with an attractive or cute character design is automatically a moe character by this definition, so this would mean that almost all female anime characters are moe characters.
>>133590033
Well in my original post (I post in /pol/ I'm used to ID's I'm >>133588628 btw ) I did say that 2/3 of the female leads were moe. Well, anyway, it looks like we agree after all.

>>133590522

I miss Hyouge Mono threads, wish we had more shows like it.
>>133590176
Well, there's certainly a lot of truth in this. At this point moe has permeated the mainstream of anime to such a degree that it has strongly influenced sort of the default style of female character design. There are lots of characters in recent years would can very clearly and easily be classified as "moe characters," but there are plenty of others which could be said to have been designed with moe influences and moe elements while not being totally about engendering moe.
But what it comes down to is that trying to make a character attractive and trying to make a character have moe appeal are two different but related things. So let's look at two examples. We'll look at main girl from Madoka Magica and main girl from Tatami Galaxy. Just two fairly arbitrary examples. Main girl is obviously moe, she has all the obvious moe traits. She's in the correct age range to be entering puberty and thus at least finding out about sexual maturity, she's naive, she's designed so the audience wants to protect her from the evils of this world. She's not rendered super attractively though. She's cute, but it's mostly because they put her in cute dresses all the time.
Then there's Tatami Galaxy chick. I would say her design is more attractive. That's subjective though of course. But I'd also say that she's a less "moe character" in almost every way, including her design. Why? Because Madoka fits more into the japanese idea of what engenders moe. She has the giant disney eyes and the unassuming face. She designed to not be intimidating (a huge factor in moe design) and super inviting. She's short and she wears cute little outfits, even different outfits pretty regularly like a paper doll. Tatami main girl is designed much more realistically, and she's specifically supposed to be intimidating. She's portrayed as starkly superior to MC in just about every way, but without being a *dere. She's drawn as really attractive, but not ostentatiously so.
>>133591014
>But what it comes down to is that trying to make a character attractive and trying to make a character have moe appeal are two different but related things.
They're not, though, according to your definitions:
>Moe is a state of having romantic feelings for a fictional character
>It's about whether or not a character was intentionally designed to elicit moe feelings from its audience.
Let's be real here. Some viewer somewhere is going to have romantic feelings for any female with an attractive or cute character design. The character designers know this. Thus, any attractive or cute character design is intentionally designed to elicit moe feelings from the viewer by your definitions.
>>133591014
So the point here is that it's apparent that Madoka was designed and written more with moe in mind. She's not a super moe character, but if I had to wager whether her creators were thinking about what the japanese otaku crowd would like then I'd definitely have to say it was a factor. I could go further into why, but I hope it's pretty apparent.
So was it a factor in Tatami chick's design? It's certainly possible. But the "moe" feeling is a pretty specific thing, and if you wanted to engender moe then you would have made many choices differently with her design. Like you could say that Madoka is something like 75% moe while Tatami chick is like at most 15% moe. It's obvious that her character is supposed to be appealing, and attractive, especially to certain audiences, but that is not the same thing as saying her character is supposed to make people feel moe.
Now of course looking back on it the reason I chose that Tatami Galaxy chick is because it's so hard to find an example of a female character design that is not very moe, and it's easiest to make the point I'm trying to make about the elements of a character's design.

>2009
>not K-On!
>2010
>not K-On!!
>>133591170
There's a gap in your reasoning here. You're saying the following:
1. No matter the character, somebody somewhere is going to have romantic feelings for that character as long as they're somewhat attractive
2. The character designers know this
3. Therefore, any attractive character design is INTENDED to elicit moe feelings
The first two points are true, but the third point is an oversimplification. We can't know the intent of a character designer unless their intent is apparent on screen.
Imagine a hypothetical scenario where some character designer has never heard of moe before. Say it's some guy from the west or something and he doesn't even speak japanese. Or he's like Sudanese or something, doesn't matter. If he's hired to design a female character, then there are still pretty good odds that he will design that character to be attractive, right? But regardless, that is not a moe character. Because the intent wasn't there. Now, there's an even more remote possibility that this designer will design a character who has all of the stereotypical moe design elements, a totally classic moe character design. Small and round, big cartoony face, shiny and shit, all that garbage. If that were to happen I would be in this thread arguing up and down that that's a moe character design. I'd be wrong, but I'd be arguing it anyway because it's simply a statistical impossibility that this hypothetical would ever actually happen.
So the relevant fact is that the deciding factor of whether a character is a "moe character" design is whether the designer said to themselves "I want to hook the moe crowd." Usually it's really obvious whether or not this is the case, as you can safely assume that pretty much every character designer in the industry knows what moe is. Saying that a character is a "moe character" is only indirectly saying that the character is cute or vulnerable or naive or whatever.
cont.
>>133591724
>We can't know the intent of a character designer unless their intent is apparent on screen.
I would content an attractive or cute character design sends a clear message of intent unless the character designer is unrealistically naive.
>>133591724
>>133591785
What it's directly saying is that the character was intended to pander to an audience which is known to be susceptible to moe, and in the medium of japanese anime that audience is very well known and nailed down. It's very clear to say that some set of particular things are clear cut moe character traits (while others are more nebulous of course). Overwhelmingly, when somebody is designing a moe character for anime, they are targeting the otaku audience, and as such they know they want a certain set of traits. It's not just about making it attractive, it's about making it a certain kind of attractive. Some other market may like a different kind of attractive, but they're not the ones we're pandering to. They're not the big fish. We want the hardcore otakus who are all waifu buyfags, because they're a sure thing.
In theory you could target a moe character at another demographic, but in practice it just doesn't happen. A "moe character" is by definition pandering to a specific audience, and the only audience that anime ever bothers to pander to with "moe characters" is the otaku audience, so if a character isn't pandering to the otaku audience then you can safely assume it is not a "moe character," regardless of whether or not it is attractive.

It's almost assuredly a mix of both.
Why are people so crazy about SAC? Sure, I thought it was pretty damn good, but one of the best shows of all time? Probably not.
I felt it got pretty heavy handed at some times pushing the whole stand-alone complex, which definitely is an interesting idea that Kon and Anno included in their work with the whole "collective conscience" aspect. Maybe it just worked better for me on an emotional rather than a purely philosophical level.
The ending in season 1 was also a joke, that's Hollywood-tier cliff-hanger grasping. You can't show characters go offscreen and have gunshots just to show that they already had an agreement figured out. What the fuck where they shooting at then?

The reality is actually more complicated. There's not really a general audience in the anime fanbase, unless you count western weabs, but they're totally insignificant. In most popular mainstream mediums (western television) you have a huge general audience consuming general appeal type shows. Anime fans by and large have niche tastes. Most of them fit into specific niches and consume anime which cater to those niches. Some people like giant robots, some people like ecchi, some people like absurd humor, etc. Anyway, due to this nature basically nothing ever gets close to being universally liked by the anime fanbase. One big problem is that people don't realize they're even in these niches. They just see a show that caters to another niche and they say it's shit. They say "oh non non biyori is boring trash," when they should realize that they're saying more about the particularities of their own taste rather than the show itself. Few people critique anime based on their general artistic merits, and most do so only on the basis of their own taste. This is why you'll always see plenty of people shitting all over stuff like Cowboy Bebop, one of the most universally liked shows in the West. Sure some of them are being contrarian, but plenty of others just have specific tastes.

You're going to have to name a specific show before I can tell you. I don't shit on anything I actually enjoy a lot, but if a bunch of people start calling something I think is average the best anime of all time, I'll be an aggressive faggot about how it's bad and they should feel bad for liking it.
>>133593423
This sums up the nature of all conversation on /a/.
>>133592988
>Why are people so crazy about SAC?
Because they watch police procedurals on murikan TV and wanted something like that out of anime.
>>133593169
>Anime fans by and large have niche tastes. Most of them fit into specific niches and consume anime which cater to those niches. Some people like giant robots, some people like ecchi, some people like absurd humor, etc.
What about, you know, Action. Generic ol' Action.
>>133592988
this
>>133593788
There really isn't a large generic action niche, unless you're really into battle shounen.
>>133594088
Then why do so many action series come out? You know, basically every anime /a/ looks down on and despises?
>>133594248
What, you mean Naruto and Bleach and other, as I said, battle shounen?
>>133593788
>>133594088
Yeah I mean that's why I said etc. hah. I was listing specific niches, and the more niche sounding they were the better they supported my point. But really it's a whole complex and interconnected web of genres and subgenres. If you were gonna map it out the top level nodes would be things like Comedy, Drama, Action, Iyashikei and probably an Other for all the weird shit like whatever that exercising show is. Then you'd have smaller nodes, probably more like themes such as Absurd Comedy, Ecchi Comedy, Light Comedy, Romance, Tragedy, Crime, Psychological, Mecha, Powers, Fighting, Slice of Life, Adventure, Exploration. Maybe some kind of color coding for showing that some stuff is most prominent in shounen / shoujo / seinen or whatever.

>>133588904
>The entire first series was an irrefutable masterpiece
>>133594300
No, I mean stuff like KLK, Guilty Crown, Noir, Ga Rei Zero, Chevalier D'Eon, basically anything that has action incidentally (although I guess KLK is far more action focused than the others here).
>>133594370
Don't be silly. /jp/ has forgotten about anime.
>>133594370
Is Monster really a /jp/ favorite? Seems very westernized

I don't go on facebook and see people talking about them, how are they entry level?
At what point does Uchouten Kazoku stop being boring?
>>133575562
I didn't really like ping pong and could never understand why people liked it.
Maybe someone can tell the appeal to it ?
>>133594498
Good joke did you come up with it yourself?
The list becomes utter shit at 2010 and after. At least before that it had some resemblance of accuracy.
>>133594526
When you stop watching seasonal battle harem shit and get some taste.
>>133594370
What? You think no one on /a/ likes Eve no Jikan?
>>133594645
I was kind of hoping for an episode number but that works too I guess

Literally "Repetition: The Anime". Someone please explain why these always exist in these charts.
Why is Hyouge Mono always on these stupid lists? Literally nobody on /a/ cared about it when it was airing and literally nobody cares about it now. And out of all the amazing 2011 anime, the honorable mentions are always god awful.
>>133596745
Repetition is a valid storytelling style though
>>133596767
It's a forced meme.
AOTY 2015.
Prove me wrong, I dare you.
>>133596813
It's also a boring storytelling style.
>>133597098
/a/ told me it was chuuni. Care to defend it from this charge?
>>133597102
That's your opinion, though. Boring is a meaningless buzzword.
>>133597141
Everything in entertainment is just opinion.
>>133597152
Not really. There is genuine criticism to be made, for example if a show is paced poorly to the extent where it becomes difficult to follow.
>>133597183
Repeating things often leads me to stop paying attention, making the show difficult to follow. There, now repetition is "bad."
>>133597188
The difference is whether it is just you or if it is a common theme. Considering how well received the shows are basically everywhere, the problem is probably on the user side.
>>133597228
Argumentum ad numerum
>>133597282
Shitposting in latin is still shitposting
The argument isn't "it's good because it's popular" it's "it must work because it's well received"
A small but important difference
>>133597282
fallacy fallacy
>>133597282
hominem ad einstein
>>133578234
>It literally has the most technically impressive visuals of any anime series, ever.
Literally wrong
>>133597309
It's only "well received" because large amounts of people find it to be good, i.e. still argumentum ad numerum
>>133575562
>2003
>not Kino
>2005
>not Mushishi
>2008
>not Kaiba or Michiko
Otherwise, yeah.Why was 2010 so good, Holt shit
>>133579269
I really didn't think taste worse than OP's was possible, but holy shit. The ONLY redeeming factor is Zegapain
>>133597334
It being well received means that the style works as a storytelling medium
>>133597332
What's your pick, then?
>>133583870
>disgusting SHAFT powerpoint animation
B-but muh shading.
The writing was pretty shit.
Literally every single anime mentioned in this thread is good except Non Non Biyori.
>>133597357
It doesn't work for me though. Thus whether it "works" is down to the opinion of the person viewing the work. >>133597152
>>133575562
Can someone explain to me how ping pong is constantly mentioned as the best anime of 2014? I watched that shit and wanted to kill myself every second. It's just so boring with its tacky symbolism and all the bad art. Is this what it's like to watch "art"? Because if it is, I would much rather watch moe-shit than this any day.
>>133580473
Its good, just entry level and highly-overrated
>>133578384
Abenobashi doesn't belong on that list. Still a great year though.
>nobody mentioning fma brotherhood
It's ok to like things if they are popular

Shit thread btw 2bh family. At least I posted in it. You got that going for you.
>>133597365
Casshern Sins
>>133597403
There are two options here:
A) Everybody but you is right and Ping Pong was a very good show. You just have shit taste.
B)You're the chosen one, the only person in the world who is right, everyone else is wrong.
Now tell me which one sounds more likely to you.
>>133597525
>Comfy feely feels
That chart is Vogon-tier
>>133597549
Not him but I never saw anyone discuss Ping Pong when it aired
http://myanimelist.net/anime/22135/Ping_Pong_The_Animation
This is a joke right?
>>133597565
Plenty of things weren't discussed much when they first came out though
The Thing did so shit it was almost dropped from theaters, yet few people would claim that makes it a bad film.
>>133597600
But it does mean it isn't really plausible that all these people on /a/ somehow like it when they didn't discuss it when it aired.
>>133597565
Then you're blind, we had several active threads per episode.
>>133597591
>Ping Pong The Animation won the Animation of the Year award in the Television category for the Tokyo Anime Award Festival in 2015.
Oh look, faggots that hate on Ping Pong don't actually know SHIT about animation.
Whoulda THUNK?
>muh symbolism
That what every moepigs said
>>133597622
/a/ is reactionary and often judges things before they even air
>>133597628
And Argo won an Oscar. Your point being?
>>133597563
Ayy! Another well earned (You)
Thank you, partner. I shall repay (You) in kind.
>>133576571
This is the one.
>best anime of they year charts
>without K-On in it
Into the trash it goes.
>>133597698
Fun things are fun.
>>133597628
Fags that hate Ping Pong don't even know who Taiyo Matsumoto is. All they can do is repeat "muh Yuasashit" and "pretentious hipster" again and again.
>>133597628
>unironically using awards as a measure of quality
>>133597525
This is not a 3x3 thread, you underaged shittard.
>>133597916
And yet it is still my personal toilet.
A (You) for a (You). I am generous with my wealth!
The secret to these lists is to put shit on them that nobody watched or cared about so that they don't realize how shitty they actually are.
>ctrl + F "samurai flamenco"
Well at least my choice for 2013 can't be worse than the people saying OreImo.
>>133598162
>Gays can marry
>You can feel superior to /a/ for at least one thread
2015 is a good year for you.
>>133575562
Monster was fucking terrible, planetes was boring.
Baccanno I don't really have an opinion of, didn't really get into it but I'm sure if I did it would have been okay.
Tatami galaxy was really good.
Most of these I've never watched, but considering they put Monster on a list of "good animes" the person who made this is probably either retarded, or really retarded.
>>133598335
>hasn't seen a significant amount of very well received anime from the last 13 years
>uses the term animes
>somehow expects people to pay attention to his opinions
How the fuck do you people think monster is good? Was there really nothing better that year?
I enjoyed fucking ergo proxy more than I enjoyed that edgy piece of shit. FUCKING ERGO PROXY. Why is Ergo Proxy better than your BoY pick for 2004!?
Not every anime can be GTO or Tatami galaxy, but holy fuck you guys can't we get something better than Monster for 2004?
>>133598550
Beck came out in 2004 and was pretty good too
>>133598623
my nigguh, I fucking loved beck and Sakamichi no Apollon
>>133597525
I thought you didn't like Nichijou.
>>133588576
It's hard to explain. Just watch it, prepare to cringe at the subs and to enjoy the show itself more than any other before it.
>>133599645
The long ruse.
Ive got another couple shows I've trolled for 5+ years but I'm not finished with those fanbases yet.
>>133599707
Is there no end to your disregard for human life?
>>133599860
hahahaha.
NO

Same bullshit as the old one
Yall angry over every post
But I just have a ton of fun
Every single post i make is gold

Faggots act like they don't care

Yeah
You can't fuck with me
I'm way above you
Check my 3x3
