>you should watch x anime anon its so good.
>you just have to watch the first 70 episodes before it picks up
why do animefags keep doing this and putting themselves through such torture of watching 150 episodes before it supposedly even starts to get good.
now I am hearing about this one punch man show, is the same shit with that one where I am expected to watch 200 episodes before the good arc starts cos fuck that shit.
There's literally only twelve episodes of OPM you colossal retard

Why not engage me within the first 20 minutes, or 40 minutes, or whatever? Films manage to do this, why can't your television show or cartoon?

Anything you watch, that isnt in your interest zone, will never be interesting.

You watch batman
You hate
>Girl gossip
>Romantic flick
You dont watch gossip girl
It's that simple.
Watch one fight anime, if you like it you will watch more, if not im sure you will want to stop watching, Else you have some autismo in your genes / a bad way to enjoy your time on this earth.
If you hate tomato, it wont taste better after each bite, but your mind can become dull against your flavour in regards of galning nutrients, as well if you have too much free time you can overcome the fact that you Arent entertained, but you dont really have time picking at your neck. I simply never watch stuff I dont want to watch based on description /clips. Because I want my relaxing time to be as enjoyable as possible.
Tl;DR dont watch shit you arent into.

>>64134080
This is bullshit. Watching things outside your comfort zone can be surprising. I thought I hated war films, recently I watched Saving Private Ryan and I really enjoyed it.
I could not have given a shit about gangster films, but I watched The Long Good Friday on a whim and it was really good.
At some point in my youth I didn't care about Westerns, but then I watched The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
How would you ever discover new things if you stuck to what you're saying?

One Punch Man is nice because it's a massive parody of traditional shonen shit. In this, he's already at the top, so there's absolutely no actual threat towards him beyond marginal shit like being late for bargain day at the supermarket. The show derives most of it's humor from this fact, considering where he lives is continually raided by monsters and shit.
Cowboy Bebop is the opposite, it gets way worse toward the end

You'd have to watch 2 episodes per night for an entire year then marathon some 50 episodes to catch up.
You could literally learn a programming language or get intermediate level in Spanish or French with that time.
I bet 90% of it could be condensed too.
>>64134574

I'm not saying it's a parody to excuse it being terrible. I'm saying it's a parody because it's legitimately funny and tries to be.
>>64134623
This is what bugs me.
Yes, my time is worthless, but this really drives home the fact that I could learn guitar or Python or something. Why the fuck watch a pirate cartoon for 200+ hours?
>>64134176
I bet youre like 22 and have read a bunch of wikipedia articles
>>64134623
>I bet 90% of it could be condensed too.
that's why you read the manga instead, reading is faster than watching afterall. it could take you a week just casually reading everything.
I know when I read one piece through, it took me like 3 days with breaks and stuff.
you don't have to do everything at once. take your time.
>>64134690
Because watching a pirate cartoon for 200+ hours is effortless fun. Learning takes time, dedication, and effort.

True, but that sheer amount of time is fucking insane. At that point it's genuine effort and patience. Might as well apply those to something useful.
This is one of the reasons why I can't watch anime a lot of this shit is way too fucking long. Then they often repeat the same fucking formula and worse still are the fillers. As it stands I already feel like a useless faggot for investing so much time then I'm watching a dumb cartoon where some ninja xmen kids are trying to figure out how their teacher looks like under a mask. Fuck this shit.

>you just have to watch the first 70 episodes before it picks up
That applies to a handful of daytime shows that can run for hundreds of episodes. The vast, vast majority of anime that people watch are 12-26 episodes with 1-3 seasons.

Anyway though you're right that there's no excuse for having to wait 70+ episodes for the show to get good, that makes it a bad show. For example, Enterprise took 50 hours to get interesting, not even good just interesting.

I know. One Piece is literally the only anime I have ever refused to even start watching because of lenght (when it was ~450 episodes). You have to draw a line somewhere, just like I'll never start Doctor Who.
>>64134623
There's a group called One Pace that actualy does this - cut out all the garbage parts of the series and make it more true to the source manga.
One Piece has been going on for like 15 years and it's roughly one chapter every two weeks - 811 chapters total as of today. The series is insanely popular in Japan and the anime's been going on for over 10 years, so there's the source manga episodes + stretched out episodes + filler when they ran out of source issues to cover.

I dunno, it took quite a bit of effort to keep watching when they abandoned doing filler arcs in favor of the 1 chapter = 3 episodes format. It's basically unwatchably tedious at this point.
This isn't just an anime thing. It's a television thing.
It's exactly why I don't usually watch tv drama with a 45 minute time slot. Just watching two episodes already last as long as a feature length film, so why not just watch a fucking film and get the entire story within a reasonable amount of time?
>>64136793
>so why not just watch a fucking film
Because the emotional pay-off you get from a good tv show or anime blows the fuck out any fucking movie. There's only so much plot or character development you can put into 2 hours without hurting the film's pace, period. Having said that, cinema is still a superior art form, precisely because those 2 short hours can be refined to perfection, whereas any series is bound to have slow or weak parts and other budget constraints.

>Umaru! Himouto-chan
"Umaru is a renowned beautiful 16-year-old girl in town, living with her elder brother Taihei. She acts a perfect sister with a kind heart, intelligence and popularity, who everybody admires. So who would believe how true Umaru is at home? Sleeping, gaming, watching TV, eating junk food, drinking cola… that's almost all she does at home, leaving all the housework to her brother. Her camouflage is so perfect that when one of her classmates visits her home by surprise and witnesses “true Umaru," she pretends as if she is Umaru's younger sister. Taihei is always swayed by Umaru's gap between ostensible face and spoiled life, but he cannot hate his comical and somehow lovable cute little sister! (Source: Crunchyroll)"

That's exactly how it should be approached, objectively. You know when cinephiles go around recommending obscure b-movies and stuff "so bad it's good"? Same shit, unberable.
>>64137799
There is deep discussion to be found in /a/ if you avoid "current airing show" and "gib recomendation guys" threads.
>>64137901
I'd agree except Yakitate Japan exists and the best part of that show was the reactions.
>>64137943
Those who "rate anime harshly" are casual viewers who just want something that's as close as possible to American TV or American sensibilities, and they're not even aware of the existence of most anime.
And there is no such thing as "seasonal trash." All TV anime is "seasonal" since the year is divided into seasons.

10/10 = if I showed this to a respectable movie director he'd fall in love and probably want to direct a live action movie or tv series based on it
9/10 = if I showed this to my dad he would finally understand why I lose all my time watching anime
8/10 = if I showed this to any people in my family or any respectable intellectual friends I have I wouldn't be utterly embarassed
This show is more testosterone-packed than your 80's action movies, and a better cosmic horror than True Detective.
>>64138225
So what you are saying is OPM is 10/10, got it.
>>64138225
I wasn't ask how your rating system worked i meant what animes would you rate 8 and above
>>64138265
>plot and characters have no relevance to you
okay that's one way of seeing things
>>64138225
In other words your rating of an anime is based entirely on what other people who do not watch anime would think about it. In other words you don't actually like anime, you just like some anime in spite of the fact it's anime.
>>64138044
>Those who "rate anime harshly" are casual viewers who just want something that's as close as possible to American TV or American sensibilities, and they're not even aware of the existence of most anime.
I don't even know where you got this from. Who's the harshest anime community? "Those guys" on anitwitter. They certainly have much more experience and a greater understanding of anime and how it's made than casuals.
>you should watch Baccano! it's like a Tarantino film!
>you should watch Serial Experiments Lain. It's really deep and like about the internet before the internet!

Every time I hear this, I get intrigued. Then I watch it, and it's the same simple shit designed to impress teenagers who have never experienced any real art.

Just watch OPM and leave us alone.

Oh and keep in mind I refer to TV anime mostly. The best anime from the past few years have consistently been shorts or movies (Wonder, Kaguya)

I'm only here because OPM, but it isn't an OPM thread is it?

From listening to these people countless times. The only shows that are ever good are ones that the average Westerners is ok with.
>>64138399
It's ok if you haven't seen those shows, you don't have to pretend you've seen them.
>>64133636
My brother keeps telling me to watch One Meme Man. Is it actually good?
>>64138508
It's a pretty fun watch but very overrated.
>>64138508
>Hasn't watched it
>Calls it one meme man
If you can't watch a show without getting your preconceptions of it colored by autists on an imageboard, then you don't deserve to watch any show.
>>64138508
Fun to watch, it's better if you like Japanese humor.
>>64138322
Rather I like anime but I also like video games, genre fiction, literature, art, philosophy, music, comics, movies, tv series and shitposting so it has to compete with all these mediums for my interest. Approaching individual piece of media relative to everything I experienced in entertainment instead of only related media inside an individual medium guarantees that my tastes overall don't stagnate. Rating everything from a "if I show this to someone else how would they judge it/does this have enough complexity or artistic merit that I could convience anyone this piece of media is good " stand point is a form to stimulate critical thinking and socialization, after all I'm not wasting all my time watching 3/10 harem anime.
>>64138282
logh, tatami galaxy, welcome to nhk, fma:brotherhood, ping pong the animation, mushishi, sakamichi no apollon, the last few episodes of hajimo no ippo: rising, monster and psycho pass s1 (with some reservations)
I do have some guilty pleasures though like Initial-D and moeshit, but I recognize fully they are guilty pleasures.
Anime is super shitty and really hit or miss. Last shows I've watched were Aku no Hana & Shinsekai Yori. That was almost three years ago. I haven't bothered with anything since then. Anime is barely worth wasting your time on.
>>64138463
Maybe the only people who tolerate japanese tropes are japanese people and weebs?
Westerners get pissed off at Western tropes too.Its just so weird that most anime seems impervious to criticism and when it isnt its labled shonen,moe or harem shit when even the good animes are guilty of pandering and having very basic characters,this could be a result of over saturation though.Its just like capeshit.
>>64138691
If you actually liked anime, your rating system wouldn't be "what would other people say if they saw me watching this?"
>>64138743
I'm not Japanese or a weeaboo. Strange how that works.
>even the good animes are guilty of pandering
Nobody has ever proven even a single case of pandering in anime.

If I "actually liked" anime I'd spend all my time watching tons of literal garbage just to find the few shows each season that deviate minutely from overused tropes or manage to not fuck up basic stuff like exposition and pacing. Nah, I'd rather get an overall taste for storytelling and visual exploration in all the different mediums there are out there instead of becoming an expert in anime.

Anime makes capeshit look good. Sure there are some good shows and films, but most of it is absolute garbage.
It's really pathetic. Japan produces roughly 120-150 new anime per year and yet it's often impossible to find even one good one.
>>64139095
If you actually liked anime you wouldn't say it's almost all garbage. As for shows that are "deviant," this and last season there's been at least Concrete Revolutio, One Punch Man, Sakurako-san, The Perfect Insider, Shirayuki-hime, Charlotte, Gakkou Gurashi, Gangsta, Gatchaman Crowds Insight, and Rokka no Yuusha. That's more than a few.
>>64139184

Are you talking about cartoons or anime? They are not the same thing.
>Sure there are some good shows and films, but most of it is absolute garbage. It's really pathetic. Japan produces roughly 120-150 new anime per year and yet it's often impossible to find even one good one.
This is because 1) you don't watch anime and have no idea what kind of shows are actually made, and 2) you are judging anime by incorrect standards and false premises.
>>64135548
Get better bait, you fucking degenerate.

LOGH is mediocre. Only first two seasons are entertaining.

>>64139346
LOGH 'elitism' is so 2009. It's a decent show that doesn't take advantage of the medium it uses. Granted, it is an adaptation but look at stuff like Ping Pong, Tatami Galaxy or the 99 version of Hunter x Hunter to see how to do an adaptation right and much importance visual direction have on anime. If you judge it on writing and narrative alone, it's nothing special beyond its lofty ambitions.
>>64139322
>you are judging anime by incorrect standards and false premises
The more anime you consume the lower your standards get. I don't think there is another hobby like that.

As I said, I don't judge anime only against other anime, but to all mediums of storytelling. The reality is that when you do this there are a handful of anime every season that manage to entertain (5/10 ~ 7/10), but it's very rare to see an anime innovate considerably or nail execution, and even rarer to achieve both at the same time, which is what it takes for me to score an 8/10+ (and I'm not being overly strict towards only anime) and what really should be taken into consideration when recommending anime to completely strangers (so you can spare the embarassment of recommending Kill la Kill to someone you just met).
>>64139514
>Ping Pong
>Tatami Galaxy
Both of these are in my top ten, and LOGH is still number one. I enjoyed all three immensely. I haven't watched the 1999 rendition of HxH, though.
Either way, get off your high horse.
i know that feel
just watch short anime series like FLCL
or madoka which is the evangelion of anime

Anti-intellectualism right there.
>>64139606
>>64139514
Actually, let me take "get off your high horse" back because it's a meaningless phrase that leads nowhere. (and if anything, would apply to me)
I also slightly take back the LOGH elitism from my first post, but only slightly.

>This literally could be applied to most anime.
Imagine that someone points to a scifi novel and says: "What a piece of garbage! It's just pandering to scifi fans!" You would think he's retarded, because obviously there are not just people who enjoy reading scifi, but also writing it. That's just common sense.
Anime isn't any different, except it comes from a foreign culture and most Westerners don't like it and aren't the target audience. But instead of recognizing this fact they instead start whining about "pandering." No self-respecting person would ever seriously make something like K-On, so they must be just "pandering" for the sake of making money (but wait, if there are people who enjoy reading/watching that stuff then shouldn't there also be people who enjoy making it...? Oh well, better not think too hard about it).
And that's why pandering is a myth.
>Do you think Wiggers are aware they are wWiggers?
Do you think I'm not aware of the fact that I don't want to be Japanese and am not attempting to behave as if I were Japanese?
>>64139495
All you people care and know about is social signaling. "I (claim to) like this work that the proper authorities have designated as important and artistic! Look how sophisticated and intelligent I am!" You don't actually know anything about anything, you just try to show off and get social validation.
>>64139518
>The more anime you consume the lower your standards get.
What is this claim based on?
>>64139705
Getter Robo is literally a better mecha show in every single way.
Better music. Better animation (vastly). Better cinematograpy (just barely). Better characters. Better writing (vastly). More in touch with human themes.
>>64139705
Its just one sperg(picture related)
>>64139580
I'm curious, what are your favourites from other mediums (film, literature, television)?
>>64139580
>it's very rare to see an anime innovate considerably or nail execution
But movies and books are simply bursting at the seams with a constant stream of bold new ideas with nary a sign of formula and repetition.
Not that innovation means anything by itself. Something can be innovative and also bad. Likewise, something can be derivative and also good. A lot of Westerners are obsessed with novelty for novelty's sake and keep talking endlessly about "innovation" like it was a sure sign of quality and its absence a sure sign of shittiness.
>and what really should be taken into consideration when recommending anime to completely strangers
So we again come back to the idea that the mark of a good anime is that you can comfortably recommend it to someone who doesn't watch anime. Which is just retarded.
>>64139705
>it can't be meaningful or complex as long as it's animated
No, I don't think that's how it works.
And if it's such a "pleb medium" then why are so few people into it?
>reddit invading and trying to justify One Meem Man as good
absolutely pathetic
>>64139580
klk was pretty neat especially if you view it as a critique on wearable technology.

>>64139706
You went too far into your argument that your line of "pandering is a myth" is false. Blatantly false. Kyo Ani, Sunrise, Studio Khara, countless others... they all aim for specific target audiences, and even specific niches within those groups. They are in it for the money.
>>64139706
>All you people care and know about is social signaling.
Project more, faggot.
I used to enjoy manga/anime when I was younger and more stupid, I know what the fuck I'm talking about. Anime is literally made for kids and teenagers. All the GOAT works are juvenile trite compared to even middle-brow literature or film. If you can't agree to this statement you simply haven't read enough books or watched enough movies. There are some manga worth your time (mostly in the horror genre), but it's really really fucking rare.
>>64139706
>Imagine that someone points to a scifi novel and says: "What a piece of garbage! It's just pandering to scifi fans!"
