that's a common opinion, and a fucking pleb one at that

>>138813200
You think that because you're bad at coping with loss.

That just means the story did it's job.

If it simulates the emotions you feel when your dog dies, that's not BAD plot, that's GOOD plot.

You faggots being unable to parse decent story development from good feels/boners is why the anime industry is cram packed with moe shit instead of anything decent.

People who say Death Note went to shit after L died are the same way. You shouldn't hate a story for killing off your favorite character, you should praise it for making a character you care about dying.

Kamina was cool but killing him off was for the best, shit would've gotten old if he stayed alive the entire time

>>138813298
>You think that because you're bad at coping with loss.

Not him but that's not why EVERYONE thinks it's bad.

It's bad because it's a bait and switch. The show is portrayed as this awesome super robot tribute with one of the manliest characters to grace mecha, or even anime period, in a long time. Then not even halfway through the series, not only does the character just disappear (the fact that he died isn't really that important, just that he's not on screen), but the show completely changes. It drastically goes from manly robot action to emo faggot with a loli in a box girlfriend trash. And it doesn't get good again until like the last episode, which is literally copy/paste from Zambot 3 and Getter Robo, so it's not that exciting anyway and is too little too late.

>>138813399
>You shouldn't hate a story for killing off your favorite character

Death Note didn't go to shit because L died, Death Note went to shit because the writer had no idea what to do with the story anymore and it became fucking terrible. L dying is merely a landmark.

It's a coming of age story, dipshit.

It makes perfect sense for the story to change in tone and theme as it goes on.

You would know that if you could comprehend the fact that shows can actually have MEANING behind what they're showing you besides the mindless entertainment you manchildren want (Coincidentally, that's probably why you don't understand the point of coming of age stories. You never experienced that.).

You fuckers are so dense, I swear to god.

Satoru didn't get cucked, or NTR'd.

It's obvious that Satoru, and Kayo were in an intimate relationship.

Toradora is shit.

Ergo Proxy is boring shit.

For precisely one episode, and it's expected because Simon's fucking brother just died in front of his eyes.
It was always good even after that, you're just a big whiny baby.
If you think the show is shit without Kamina, get the fuck out and stop pretending to enjoy Gurren Lagann, because you obviously couldn't give a shit.

raildex is shit

Airi is a shit.

>>138813673
>If you think the show is shit without Kamina, get the fuck out and stop pretending to enjoy Gurren Lagann

Are you misunderstanding the point of the thread? Also that's complete bullshit saying it's only one episode, it's for the entire rest of the show until the very end where they suddenly realize they forgot to develop Simon into Kamina and just stick point glasses on him literally out of nowhere. Great character development!

Kaminas death made sense and was needed for Simon to grow as a character. Nia's death on the other hand was fucking stupid and forced and still pisses me off to this day

The first two seasons of Black Butler are criminally under rated, and very interesting if you view them through a non-homo lens.

I've watched both seasons, and they had a solid story. The homo stuff isn't as much as in your face as people say.

any show longer than 80 episodes is not worth my fuckin time

>>138813200
Considering it's my favorite anime, I humbly disagree. I think the show is a roller coaster that goes up and stays there. I thought Nias death was okay, but I understand why people don't like it.

If your time is so worthless you post on /a/, this is distinctly untrue.

Rie Matsumoto is the best new director of the last 10 years.

Akira was generic and nothing special

NGE was nothing special just a boring SoL until the end where it went 3deep5me

>>138814277
You're missing out.

this is both a controversial opinion and a reply
One Piece is fucking amazing all the way to the reunion, which is around episode 520. After that it all goes downhill.

Bleach is solid, and even the fillers are worth watching.

LoGH may be boring, but it's definitely worth the watch.

Lain is pretentious crap that people pretend to like to seem intelligent

I like the aesthetic, I like how slow the pacing is, but pretty much everything else is just schlock

Fafner in the Azure in it's entirety is a better tribute to Science Fiction Mecha of the 70s than Gurren Lagannn

>>138814375
>Akira was generic and nothing special
Akira is an extremely hyphenated version of an amazing manga. People praise the film for its animation and aesthetic, which are absolutely amazing.

>NGE was nothing special just a boring SoL until the end where it went 3deep5me
This is just patently false.

>>138814375
Akira was a technical marvel, and that is its great claim to historical fame. Like Citizen Kane, it's not really something that people watch just to watch a good movie.

Battle shounen is pretty much terrible across the board. I understand the appeal but I find it unwatchable. Even as a kid I thought DBZ was shit.

>>138814375
If you don't like it that's one thing, but saying it's "generic and nothing special" makes you sound either underage or like a new anime fan. It revolutionized the cyberpunk genre and the movie is widely recognized and one of the most important anime films of all time.

>>138814050
The second season of Kuroshitsuji sucked and isn't even canon, but the third is pretty good and the manga is actually really enjoyable. I prefer to see it through a homo lens and it isn't subtle about the pandering, but aside from that I love the mangaka's sense of aesthetics. The art, settings, costume and character design etc are very appealing.

>>138814931
>third

Wait, there's a third?

>>138814931
The Second Season is great and just as canon as the first, which veers off wildly after the curry battle. I maintain that it's much better without the homo, which completely removes any kind of intrigue from the Butler/Master relationships.

>>138814625
The main characters were bland and boring as hell and I spent a lot of the series hating them for it, but somehow by the end I still loved it overall and couldn't stop thinking about it. It was impactful and well executed enough that I could overlook such a big flaw, especially thanks to the ending, but it's disappointing because if they were more engaging it would honestly be a masterpiece.

>>138813200
I guarantee you everyone would have been bored shitless of Kamina if he was around the whole time. He was already completely developed by the time the show started, which is why everyone liked him so much. If he stayed alive it literally would have been the exact same character for 27 episodes.

>>138814869
I mean, it wasn't a curse just illness both times, but if that's what you have an issue with then I guess you're either missing my point or lack basic human empathy in which case it should be abundantly clear why you don't enjoy these shows.

>>138814970
The homo doesn't detract from what I personally enjoy most about it, which is the 'atmosphere' I guess. I think it's done as sensually as possible without being lewd or played off as a joke, it's kind of hard to describe but it has a different feel to normal fujo pandering.

If you're not into homo I wouldn't expect you to feel the same so that's fair enough. I don't think there's any romantic undertones between Sebastian and Ciel so their relationship remains unaffected to me, it's pretty much just vaguely sexual imagery and I think it suits the visuals of the manga in general.

>>138813399
Death Note was shit from the beginning...

>>138815196
It is something specifically for angry teenagers in the "I am fucking superior" phase that get hard at the thought of being god-like and having the power to indiscriminately kill anyone you want. If you watch/read it after that, most if not all of the appeal will be lost.

>>138815184
I just think it's a shame, because everyone who stuck around for season 2 was in it for the homo and walks away disappointed. I love it, because it continues what I found enjoyable in BB, which was the exploration of power play between servants and masters who are both attempting to get something very tangible from the relationship, while walking the knife edge of amicability that develops from spending all your time with someone.

Ultimately, I guess I was just sort of lucky to be too naive to realize there was any sexual subtext when I watched it, otherwise I probably wouldn't have enjoyed it as much.

KyoAni is the synonym of wasted potencial.

While I think all of TTGL was shit, OPs opinion is actually a pretty common one.

Tamako Market was a masterpiece, while Love Story suffered a bit from a lack of build-up to be on par with something like toradora

I enjoy every Kyoani show, but I still haven't watched Free!

I found Aria to be quite dull, and Tamayura to be superior in all aspects.
