Story in /m/ media - worth a damn? Anonymous 2017-06-08 06:19:22 Post No. 15599304 [Report] [View this topic]

I've seen recently that the sentiments in posts like these

>>15599258
>Animation is great, but it needs a story
>That's just your opinion.

>>15599057
>stories don't matter only visuals for animation.

are by and far the overriding opinion on /m/. Being; animation quality is the most important factor in determining whether or not an anime is good. That all hand drawn and cel-painted anime are, by virtue of being those things, infinitely better than any anime made after the year 2000. I think that's a valid point, everything else is tertiary to an anime's quality and if it's well-animated I can forgive every single one of its flaws.
Hell, I'm sure most of us would agree that IBO and SEED would be in the top 10 anime of all times were they only well-animated.

But let's look at things from another point of view,

What are some anime that, and this may be a stretch, have good stories and are generally good despite not having animation?
Does anyone here actually pay attention to the writing and stories in anime. Because I know I rarely care and I found it strange in that thread that some people actually thought about these aspects of anime.

That being said, nothing comes to mind immediately, but I'm sure some of you might have an idea or two.

SEED is inexplicably popular.
Good animation wouldn't stop it having an awful, derivative plot and loathsome characters.

Two loud idiots doesn't prove this is the general consensus of the board. Majority in my experience have said they can enjoy a series off cool visuals but that lacking the substance of good or even adequate storytelling/characters makes a series bad/shallow and prefer a series that tells a good series.

There's a difference between appreciating some good animation and saying "this is all I need, fuck story and anyone who needs story is wrong."

>This is one of the best episodes of Kamen Rider ever

If the AGE Gundams have a fight with their UC respective counterparts, who from which side would then? That would be AGE-1 vs RX-78, AGE-2 vs Zeta, AGE-3 vs ZZ, and FX vs Nu. I don't know if the different AGE equipment would matter, but let's keep them stored in the hanger for argument's sake.

The AGE Gundams are really fucking strong. Remember that in UC GMs are dangerous because their beam spraygun is still a beam. Vagan MS shrug off Genoace beam guns but AGE-1's rifle flies through them.

AGE-2 shoots through asteroids.

ZZ was actually somewhat crappy and fragile, just high powered. AGE-3 on the other hand is incredibly strong and durable, and can upgrade on the fly into two busted forms.

FX is 00 tier BS.

What is the most patrician way in fiction to become a mecha pilot?

>Joining the military and getting appointed as a pilot officer, getting grunt equipment and eventually getting a custom machine

> Stumbling onto a state-of-the-art superweapon while a battle is raging in your hometown

> Being blackmailed by an aloof authority figure threatening to throw the burden on a severely injured girl

> Being conscripted as a child soldier and being forced to undertake grueling training by militants

I'm sure there are further scenarios out there. Which one best resonates with you.

I for one, would prefer the appointment route.

Joining the military and progressing by normal means is always my option of choice. But, the second option generally carries my favorite piece o logic, which is:
>This state of the art war machine was developed and build by my father (under contract, with aid of a huge team of technicians and using goverment/private backers funds) so, therefore, it is mine by right!

Finding the body of the mecha in a Jersey dump and you tune it up yourself, rewire the whole system, and customize the controls so they are incredibly easy for you but impossible for anyone else.

What /m/ audio dramas do you wish had text translations? Personally, I want to see some for the GaoGaiGar audio dramas since they apparently explain some things that weren't in the show, but I hear those are pretty comedic. Alternatively, those Gurren Lagann high school AU audio dramas, since most of that was translated save for the last half of the third and final volume.
