If you feel that way, why did you start watching anime? It's a well-known fact that prolonged anime exposure causes homosexuality in members of both sexes.

Berserk's art is very overrated. I prefer the character designs from the '97 anime, even if this one's cheap too, the overall mood is glorious and the soundtrack is one of the best, improving every scene drastically.

Appraised =/= overrated

>>142220828
That's a popular opinion on here.

My unpopular opinion is that there's nothing wrong with it at all even if it's not the gender you're attracted to, and only brain dead retards have a problem with homo or yuri in their anime. There's barely any aesthetic difference between het kissing and gay kissing in anime. Like for example, in SSY the character designs are too generically attractive for someone to whine about gross homos to justify dropping it.

>>142221082
Well it is overrated. Not saying it's bad though but it's mainly a lot of refinement (with stokes), the technical side is not that impressive (not saying it's bad either but Inoue is better and so are other mangaka).

Gundam is bad and has always been bad.

Ika Musume is shit-tier SOL, and Yotsuba! isn't that much better.

I actually don't really like anime all that much. I live in Hawaii, so I'm surrounded by fucking weeaboos who keep trying to push their shit anime on me. Some of my friends have already fallen, and answer the phone with "moshi moshi."

They constantly watch shit tier anime, and refuse to watch anything that isn't complete shonen shit or yaoi bait. This, combined with the weeaboos from college and the shitposting from here, has caused me to begin disliking anime.

Is it just the character designs you don't like? Surely you can acknowledge his talent at drawing even if the art isn't really your thing.

I like SAO part 1. In fact, I think the anime did a better job than the Light Novels because it added the side stories which gave the world more depth. I felt that the romance aspect was handled nicely, mostly because it actually progressed and did not turn into a harem like a lot of people call it. Mainly because he did end up choosing a girl, and mid-series which a lot of series can't say because who the main character ends up with is probably the only thing keeping people from dropping the series in a lot of cases. In fact, I think it only gets a lot of flack because it was a gateway anime for a lot of people, and once being told it wasn't good by elitists, they decided to hop on the train too to pretend like they know any better.
I also think at least half the people who hate the show haven't even watched it. At which point, they can't even criticize it.

I think the Macross series has gotten better over time rather than become crap like most Macross fans think. On top of that, Macross 7 is my favorite.

Chuunibyou season 1 was really good and I think how it ended was perfect.

I think anybody who actually sits down and tries to make cases on why 'x girl will win' based on their own interpretations, real world 'experience,' and their 'logic' are beyond saving.

>>142220868
Is that unpopular? I thought it was common knowledge that manga is generally superior except in some cases.
SoL, Comedy, Mecha, and some harems are way better as anime. Everything else is infinitely superior as a manga with some exceptions.

>>142221423

I think an unfinished Berserk would be better than a horribly ended Berserk.

The anatomy is really weird at times, and I think the flaws particularly stand out in his art maybe because of the overdetailing.

Yeah he's good even if he's not as good as the normal people think he is (at drawing). Some of his panel are still marvelous though, like during the Eclipse the nightmarish things, or others.

As for the "not normal people" i.e. the people a bit educated in drawing, I see some that take him for model and a few that agree with me. I find that weird, his flaws are really visible when you know where to see.

Kyoani is garbage and almost everything they do is shit.
Mouryou no Hako is one of the best anime ever made.

I'm an easy to please guy, so I appreciated SAO part 1 for what it had to offer... but still I can't agree with you here. I don't know for the LNs but the side story in the anime were a fucking pain.

1. The rhythm was MOTW-like (without the episodic intensity that such a model can provide), which was very unfitting for such a story and made it unpleasant to follow.

2. All those "MOTW" episode were random side stories unrelated in any way to the point. The fucking point that is... what was it already, get out from the game? That was vague to define what he should do, so he did nothing worth noting I see. Worth thing is that he DID made a harem through those eps. That was a ridiculous sight even if he ended with the other bitch.

3. The romance was, again, killing the pacing, in my opinion it was unwelcome, naive and bad. The virtual child was even worse, and it served nothing.

4. The minotaurus fight was meh. The action animation was minimal, if not cut from the sceen. The melodrama at some point was cringeworthy as hell. And a lot more to say.

In comparison, for the unpopular opinion, I'd say that the part 2 (of season 1, so ALO) was way better as a fun/entertaining anime than the first part, and since SAO can't aim higher than to be fun (at its best) then it's simply better.

The fight were better (the aerial fight with Eugene had its great parts), the plot followed well even if kinda easy. Imo the world-setting with races and all was much more interesting as a concept, but still unexploited. The fantasy mood was nice. The end fight in the dome was kinda intense, still the ending was shit. But the problematic seemed more interesting, related to the bad use of information or something like that with their stored brains, I don't remember that much.

Monogatari is what every anime should aspire to be.

I agree that a large portion of people who read it are "edgelords" who are only in for the blood and rape. The kind of people who spam rape horse everywhere and want Guts to go back to the black swordsman days.
But behind all the edge is some truly good writing, with some great character development, an incredibly creative fantasy world with a huge amount of detail and forsight thrown into every chapter.

>>142222187
Yes, they're common because they transition well to the anime medium and are easy to adapt. They're generally low budget with minimal animation. The times it goes outside of those genres tend to have garbage adaptions, as they're much longer and more complex. Are you that stupid? Did you think that's just how anime was?

Manga is extremely varied and more in depth than anime because there aren't as many limitations. Of course it does have its own cons as well, and I could list those off if you want.

Go watch Tiger & Bunny or anything, BnHA isn't "Japan"'s take on superhero genre, it's one Shounen Jump author take on it (and it's good as it is you should still try it, especially the anime is great imo).

Zetman is nice too as an hero manga.

>>142221833
Sure there is worse than Glasslip, way worse. The reason Glasslip gets so much hate is because people where expecting at least *something* out of it, especially after the success of Nagi No Asukara. Instead Glasslip was a whole lot of *nothing*.

So your point is what, that the manga that don't get adapted are better than the anime that would have been made out of them if they had been adapted? That's not really the same thing.

Also, I'd like to point out that for mecha is often animation-heavy and fairly long.

>>142222463
I dont see anything wrong with this statement. Whoever doesn't enjoy Hellsing Ultimate lacks the fun gene.

No, that isn't my point at all. The anime is merely limited and generally doesn't portray a percentage of what the manga does. If anime had better budget and less limitations it would be better, hands down.

And yes, Mecha is easily the worst manga genre. In fact I've never read a mecha manga to completion aside from Bokurano. I'm not saying anime is bad. I've watched hundreds of series and I enjoy a lot of it. Manga is simply better and more varied except in the rare cases the anime has a budget higher than 10 fucking dollars.

>Manga is simply better and more varied except in the rare cases the anime has a budget higher than 10 fucking dollars.
I agree with this, it's incredibly rare to find an anime series that is better than the manga. 9/10 the manga is much better. I think the problem lies in lack of funding in the anime industry, leading to less risks taken and a tendency of producing the anime as primarily an advertisement for the source material.

>>142222036
First of all, I actually have read Berserf (not all the way to be up to date, but yeah) and I just can't get into it. I really want to get into it since most people I know, the people I watch on YouTube and people here can't seem to get enough of it, but it feels so edgy. The blood and the gore and shit are only there to be there I feel.
To be honest I feel it might be because I went in with different expectations than what it ended up being.
I just feel like I'm missing out on something everyone else enjoys. I don't know if I'm not seeing an important element or something, but it just feels like what'd happen if an edgy kid got a hold of the rights to a classic medieval fantasy series à la Lord of the Rings and decided to make it gritty and hardcore.

>>142222749
That's exactly what it is. The anime is just an advertisement. Not to say the anime can't be better than the manga, because I can list of a while bunch right now are better. Most are comedy/SoL though.

I can't stand anything related to FMA. I don't like the manga and both anime series.

It's not that I think it's bad, it's just things like the characters, the designs, the setting, the dialogues, etc are all unappealing to me.

The Fate series has the worst anime/VN fanbase.

>>142222749
Regardless of what you think of the anime industry in general, the reason anime adaptations are worse than the manga is because adaptations in general are usually not as good as the source.

The limitations put on bigger-budget, mass-media works always damages its breadth of expression and subject matter, which is unfortunate.

I'd still rather watch anime than read manga, almost always. I fucking hate how manga is released, I fucking hate hunting for good releases, I fucking hate sitting at my computer screen to read it instead of being able to lie in my bed in the most comfortable of positions.

A decent anime series will probably be finished within a year or two. A manga series? You'll be lucky if you see it completed in a decade. I'm still waiting for Dorohedoro to finish up (one of my favorite manga), and I'm probably just gonna start it over again once its finished because it's been so long since I first read it.

Also, here's an unpopular opinion: One Piece has horrible paneling that makes it unpleasant to read, and thus if the anime had better pacing, it would be superior to its source material for that reason alone.

Anime and manga are an artistic wasteland; instances of true creativity are few and far between. Often times, the medium is completely overshadowed by western cartoons. I only come here to discuss the one or two shows I actually enjoy each season.

Koreans aren't that good with coming up with original universal stories. Every manhwa I've seen that had international acclaim was too edgy to be mainstream. It's a shame, really. Their only hits are IP that aren't their own. Anime is made by Koreans but still masterminded by the Japanese. I think the only solution is found in the first letter of every sentence of this paragraph.

I liked Aku no Hana because of the overall visuals, mainly the backgrounds and the top-tier music, a shame it won't have a 2nd season but those 12 chapters were pretty enjoyable. The manga was shit.

I think mangafag are seeing too much with the manga eyeballs and not enough with the anime eyeballs.

Anime can provide things manga can't, and the reverse.

Like Berserk's OST is GOAT, Berserk's animation is passable but the art style is really nice and the combination of music, timing, variety of highlight means (harmony cels) etc can create something great even with little budget.

Berserk 1997 anime is great in that regard. Hunter x Hunter 1999 too, One Piece early anime is kinda nice especially the mood (the peak being Chopper's arc imo), Dragon Ball anime is really nice and consistent and the animation (movement), voice acting, colors, background, feeling of time passing, etc add great adventure value to it, for example.

>>142222846
Well yeah, it does break my suspension of disbelief but being able to empathize is an important part of a good, emotionally driven drama. Worst case scenario you get melodrama like Shigatsu or Anohana, both would be better with a focus on friendship over romance.

Nips should make more Wild West anime.

>I'd still rather watch anime than read manga, almost always
Don't get me wrong, I completely understand this mindset and I used to embrace it myself.
However, you're wrong on a couple points.

>I fucking hate how manga is released
Weekly, like anime. Sometimes monthly, but that usually means 30-60 quality pages.
You probably mean how some series get dropped and picked up randomly, which is understand because there is just so much more manga.

>I fucking hate sitting at my computer screen to read it instead of being able to lie in my bed in the most comfortable of positions.
I read on a tablet. Absolutely the only way to read, in my opinion. Occasionally read short stuff on my computer.

>A decent anime series will probably be finished within a year or two.
This is just flat out wrong. An anime series will be ''finished'' in the sense it'll never get another season, maybe. Most anime is based of source material, such as manga or LNs, and most of those are ongoing. So you get anime original ending which is shit or never get another season.

Regardless, I understand where you're coming from. Technically the anime is ''finished'' in the sense it has all the translations and episodes out. You'll be able to watch it to completion, even if the story isn't actually finished or adapted properly. It's easy to consume and tune out on. Don't have to worry too much about finding quality releases and the like, at least not anymore.

Without forgetting to mention the very early anime that are all based on that economy method. Dezaki's, Tezuka's... Even to the animation style, the choppy Kanada animation that made its way to modern anime and evolved into Gainax/Trigger

Cheap (in budget) =/= inherently bad

Shigatsu was shit, but I think age had nothing to do with it. Like, Sundome was great, and that had the whole dying-teenage-love thing going on, too. The fictional number you attach to a character doesn't really matter, you just have to portray the topic in the right light to get the desired response. Shigatsu did not persuade me to take it seriously.

The worst part is that Rikka got much worse and the new girl had so much potential to tell a melancholic story about pretending to be retarded because of her feelings towards Yuuta instead of actually being chunni.

Heroman is an anime written by Stan Lee, you might want to try it.

Jojo.

Regardless of how it became incredibly normalfag, I think Jojo is so overhyped. The characters feel so alien and weird, while at the same time it gives me the impression that a 12 year old is writing everything. Jojo has not an understanding of how people act, talk or interact. To top that, the artstyle is really unnapealing and the paneling awful. The poses (not the over the top ones, but the normal ones) are a fucking mess. Every character is a piece of shit one way or another, and it's full of those asspulls /a/ hates so much in other much better shows.
But the stand battles and powers are pretty creative, I give you that.

>>142223008
It's interesting that you use Berserk as your example considering that anime is a great example of a show produced just to promote the manga.
Yes anime has many advantages over manga, the problem is companies are too scared to make the most of that advantage. Instead going with the safe approach. It's not rare to see still frames and speed lines, or just static shots with flapping mouths. All because the animators are just taking the panels out of the manga and adding as little movement as possible. Add on the fact that 90% of anime are straight up adaptions (most of which go unfinished) instead of original works. It's all because there simply isn't enough money being put into the anime industry.
For anime to surpass manga it needs more money so that studios can take bigger risks and put more effort into really making the most of the medium.

To add on to your point, that's not to say that there aren't a few anime every year that really hit shit out of the ballpark and are genuinely pretty good, it just isn't the norm.

And I fucking love anime, even as it is right now. All the cliches, the teen romance, the harems, cute girls, edgy shit, everything.

Manga is simply better, and not because it's manga, because it needs pretty much no budget and has way less restrictions. If anime was similar to manga in that regard (which is impossible, due to music, voice actors, time, sales, etc) it'd be superior hands down.

Index has god-tier ryona and it's the only reason to get into the series.

I genuinely sympathize with shinji because if I was a 14 year old boy from a broken home constantly forced to fight incredibly frightful monsters hellbent on the destruction of the world I'd probably piss my pants too.

Doesn't help the fact that the machine I'm piloting causes severe cranial pain when it suffers damage too.

As a regular kid, shinji got the shit end of the stick in that world

Is After Story really good enough to make up for the pretty much garbage first season? That seems really impressive, honestly, if that's the case. I didn't want to continue because I didn't particularly care for Nagisa.

I hate that 80% of anime in existence have good designs but shit in just about everything.

Josei/shoujo manga are perfectly fine, /a/ just focuses too much on the romance ones.
Berserk's character drama really isn't that great or deep/sophisticated, its main appeal is as an action series.
RahXephon > NGE (the TV series for both; EoE blows Pluralitas Concerto out of the water).
Kengo Hanazawa is shit.

>>142223386
>What makes a great anime then?
I don't know. If I knew that I would have tried to make a great anime by now. I can easily point out things that aren't good though since flaws are easier to find. Pretty much all of Eva comes off as cringy and too deep for you or is just poorly executed. If I were asked what a good anime is or at least one that is well done I'd have to say Mushishi.
>I think the ''deep'' shows are as much cancer if not more than your average moe.
I know, and agree.

>>142223581
I thought the first season was garbage and the second season was enjoyable. Takes a completely different turn in my opinion but you have to watch the first season to appreciate it.

>>142223355
>All because the animators are just taking the panels out of the manga and adding as little movement as possible.

Well I don't think it is that much of an inconvenient most of the time as manga has a pretty cinematographic way of depicting action, or at least I read so but I'm not good at judging this.

>It's not rare to see still frames and speed lines, or just static shots with flapping mouths.

Well yeah but that's matter of budget/time rather than willing to do good. I agree that flapping mouth is one of the cancer of anime though, it's really the worst way to save animation time.

And for the rest I think you're also right, I'm not saying that 95% of anime isn't shit (like in most medium, but for different reasons), it's just that you shouldn't compare manga and anime with such non-flexible standards I think.

Also, manga too has constraints related to market, popularity, censorship, etc... Sadly.

Finally, I don't think budget has much to do with it.

See Studio WIT, or some of the last Prod I.G. anime, or I don't know, they have mostly high budget but are not that "free".

When 2000-2010 Madhouse made a whole lot of original daring anime... I don't even understand why since most of them were flops and they continued to make them, costing them money. (could someone tell me why though? was this pure artistic integrity?)

I think that Japanese animation will soon be merged with american producers, and it will make bad anime catering to large public (but not worse than today's bad anime I guess), and good daring and artistic anime in the vein of Space Dandy , but maybe less accessible like Texhnolyze.

Like the next Netflix's one, or FLCL rebirth. Crunchyroll too will produce anime.

>>142223446
I agree than overall manga might be better, I'm not sure though about the exact stats but there is no point in knowing.

Manga might have a bit more artistic freedom, and yeah it might be less subject to trainwreck.

Also the community is better for what I experienced.

>>142223627
From what I've seen netflix fund, and from what I've seen of the trailers of the new one, I'm not too worried about what they're gonna come up wiht in the future

I hope you don't mean fansubbing for scanlating, because scanlating community is god awful.

Kids under the age of 18 are very easy to influence, if we didn't have that law then kids would be getting taken advantage of by horny old pervs every single day. When you consider that having sex with the wrong person can have life time consequences then it's not so surprising. There is a reason why kids are discouraged from having sex at too young an age.

You don't magically become an adult at 18. People mature differently, and throwing a person in jail for fucking a 16 year old who willingly had sex is just silly.

There is a good reason 15-16 is the average around the entire world, even in America.

>>142224508
Not him, but you don't magically become an adult at any age. Plenty of adults are irresponsible shits, and the government allows them to make shit decisions because that's how things work. The entire concept of a legal minor is that people before a certain point are being protected from the possibility of being shits. It's always going to be an arbitrary line, but I don't think 18 is an awful place to put it.

>Unpopular opinions.
I feel like that whenever I meet someone who unironically enjoys One Piece or Naruto or Fairy Tail.
I have no problem if someone says "yeah it's kinda dumb but I enjoy the action/humor"
But when someone says it's a GREAT anime I get a nervous tick.
I'm trying to tell them: "But One Piece doesn't have a story! There is nothing happening! It's 700+ Episodes and all they do is throwing new characters in but in no way since has the plot advanced towards finding that damn treasure since rufi set out to sea the very first fucking time" That ususally gets ignored and I'm just getting back a "There is tons of story! they just had a time jump and are now over half way there!"
hmm sure. Seriously if you want to enjoy a show like that because you enjoy mindless fighting scenes and want something to watch every day for the next 3 years go ahead. But people who actually think any of these have a great story have something seriously wrong with their brain.
It's literally never ending streams of new BS to sell DVDs.

Of course not, but the cut-off age has to be somewhere and 18 is a good safe age. Chances are kids will have a better grasp of themselves and life in general.
>throwing a person in jail for fucking a 16 year old who willingly had sex is just silly.
This is the way our society works anon, to stop the occasional offender from doing the wrong thing we say that no one can do it, regardless of good intentions of bad. Like I said, sex can have life time consequences, so to reduce the risk of a kids life being fucked over before it's really began we enforce those laws.

This is objectively untrue and remarkably retarded. One Piece, of all series, has the most marked progress towards a specific goal or endpoint of pretty much any long-running series. The characters all have specific goals that they have also made progress towards.

What you are trying to say is that One Piece follows a formula that you do not like, and you transpose that opinion into a stupid, blanket-statement that is factually retarded.

>>142224730
>Your life can be fucked over from having sex at 25. Age has nothing to do with it.
Fuck anon you're missing the point. Those laws are to prevent adults from taking advantage of kids who don't yet know any better. Once you're old enough the government assumes you are mature enough to make your own decisions with a full grasp of the consequences.

>>142224786
Which is why 15-16 is the average age of consent. I understand, anon.

>>142224688
Nothing happening as in "nothing that is relevant to any kind of plot" sure there are lots and lots and lots of "arcs" happening. and stories about new characters and their backgrounds and the fights against or with these new characters.
But if you really think about, how many episodes are there that really progressed the story towards the end goal of finding the fucking treasure?
It's fine to have an episode to introduce each MC on the ship. One Piece has one (or more) ARCS for every one. it's fine to have a couple of episodes for world building too. but then you should get on with the fucking plot. One Piece doesn't. Lots of noise, no music.

>>142224758
Like I said. they're not actually moving towards an endpoint. They're finishing lots and lots and lots of little arcs and say "oh we're closer now" but they're fucking not. they're closer to selling another million DVDs is what they are.

Again, that's what the concept of a legal minor is about. If you think it should be younger, that's one thing, but if you really think age is irrelevant just because older people can also make dumb decisions, then we might as well let middle schoolers smoke.

There are too many people on this site with extreme opinions. Like how DFC lovers will outright hate on Cowtits, and vice-versa, vocally and harshly. Or how a show is either a masterpiece or dogshit. This extremism makes it harder to have a damn conversation here, and promotes shitposting.

Obviously I'm not saying that, use your fucking brain and come up with a real argument.

>>142224824
The characters backstories are a thing, but all the arcs leading to the One Piece are relevant and serves the world-building and actually set the "real" plot of One Piece, which is not "hey guys we gotta find the treasure", that's is only the premise, the synopsis, a mc guffin.

I don't know what to think about guys who says One Piece doesn't have a story, have you never seen a story which doesn't develop in a linear manner yet? I mean there are plenty, and I'm not a big reader, even Game of Thrones works for a large public.

>>142224893
Yeah, such harsh 0/10 or 10/10 for everything judging is fucking /v/-tier. Don't encourage it. Make an effort to find middle ground.

>>142224906
As for the episodes, you could easily reduce 200~300 eps if you fixed the fucking pacing.

I fucking hate smug girls.
Every time I see them I want to punch them until they are no longer smug.

>>142224906
I don't see how they are relevant really. To me it seems like all these arcs are just there to get in some action with established, sellable characters. Like I said that's fine if you're just in it for some action/comedy. Absolutely. Go ahead and enjoy. But all these little storylines don't add up to anything. I'd bet with you that if I find someone who has never watched or heard of One Piece that I could throw out easily 500 episodes and that person wouldn't notice that something is missing. Because large chunks of that show are not relevant to any kind of real main plot.

You made the GoT comparison. Yes in Ice and Fire the story is also told basically in many little stories from the viewpoint of a certain character each time. But the stories come together. It all leads somewhere. Stuff eventually happens that actually matters to most of these people established. until eventually dragons will probably eat all of them.

>>142225181
Well, in One Piece too everything get to come together. Maybe not all arcs are relevant to plot (even if details are really everywhere) but that's really the same.

I don't think what you expected though. "Let's find the treasure" is not a plot, it's a goal, I don't see what else you would expect from that synopsis than things like in One Piece : enemies that block the path (classic), with exploration (less classic in manga) and bits of information that creates a world (less classic in manga) and forms a plot, the plot of One Piece is none other than the setting of their world and how Luffy will resolve whatever Oda has planned. And become the Pirate King maybe.

What is the problem here? What would you rather want for a plot?

>>142225365
I don't know what you expected, not I don't think, I'm getting tired.

I'm not sure if it's onpopular on /a/ but Deadman wonderland is garbage tier. I really liked the manga at first. They were forced to fight and a machine would determine which body part the loser had to forfeit as punishment. First guy lost an eye right away and I was fucking hooked. I thought "fuck yeah. High stakes violence" But then of the MC girls lost a fight and I was ready for some sad "girl's gonna lose an arm" or something when they hacked the machine and she got.... her hair cut. way to remove any kind of suspense. But I read on. And as I read on I realized that the manga kept introducing new guys that have been "in the undeground" Why would they introduce so many new people? Ooooh... so that when the bad guy shows up they can kill one or two of the no names so they show that he means business. I shortly thereafter dropped the manga as I realized that the MC is never in any real danger at all, because only unimportant no names can actually die here. trash trash trash.

One piece could easily be some 50 episode long show, and still get across all of it's characters and world building perfectly fine. In 50 episodes they could easily also reaching a conclusion to the show, with Luffy becoming the "Pirate King" or whatever. If it can be easily more concise and still get the point across, it's annoying to have to watch a show drag on and on giving you the same kind of character development and plot-lines purely to bulk up the episode count.

>>142222909
The build-up to the geass ending is pretty great, especially in retrospect when you realize where they were going.

>>142225487
I agree, it could, but it wouldn't be One Piece and be something else.

The fact that it is long might be a inconvenient for some, but it also has its pros and it's just how it is. It's best for adventure to be long though, imo. But it would be better if it wasn't influenced by popularity polls, fanservice and whatnot.

I also find sad that Oda has put aside any kind of character development though. This would be less annoying and repetitive if the character changed a bit more and felt more human.

I can get where you're coming from. But I feel like a sense of a long difficult adventure can still easily be captured in 50 episodes, and gain the same effect, if not a better one that a long-running show that just results in boring some fans.

& Yeah, back when I used to watch the show, character development always pissed me off. Continuously I saw this cheap imitation. They'd show scenes and events that you assume would affect the character, and their personality, and it does for the rest of the arc, but after that they just returned back to normal - ready for the next time they get "developed".

>>142225365
Well if a series sets out a goal it should strive to achive that or else it's not a story driven show.
Something like Cowboy Bebop or Ghost in the Shell follow a story driven formula.
>Introduction episode for each character and or their background
>some world building
>bit of filler
>getting on with the main plot
These are nicely intermixed and relatively short. in 26 GitS episodes you learn pretty much everything you need to know about the major, her co workers and what kind of and the state of the world they live in. Plus of course the following as well as the completion of the main plot, the mystery of the "Stand Alone Complex"

Now take one piece. One Piece fluffs everything up to an extreme. You learn about the characters on the ship not in episodes but in arcs. you learn about every new threat in arcs. it's just arc after arc after arc. and they have very little to nothing to do with the his goal of reaching the treasure. Because there is no actual story going on. Just action packed, drama packed, comedy packed fluff pieces to sell another set of DVDs. And that's fine if you're into that. But my point stands that easily 90% of One Piece is unnecessary to any kind of plot and can be interchanged or taken out at will, because there is no real story going on there. Just adventure after adventure.

I downloaded the knights of Sidonia manga.
But then I also downloaded Kissxsis and read that instead.

I enjoyed the second half of SAO for the absurdity.

Akame ga Kill isn't that bad for edgelord nonsense.

As much as Panty and Stoocking's rusecruise ending bothered people its probably for the best a second season doesn't happen

Shovelware ecchi (Things like Magikano and Dokkoida) series hit their quality peak in the years 2000-2006. Said statement also gave me a raging hateboner towards I couldn't become a hero so I got a job and Henneko

My senses are so dulled to worst girl ends that only Shimoneta's triggers me.

>>142225770
I get what you mean but I don't know what to say.

I think that creating a plot (mysteries here) by developing the backstory of the world is great, even more in manga where it's always lacking, and even more in shounen where it's often simplistic.

But the story of One Piece is the adventure so I personally don't have a problem with it.

>>142225757
I understand and can agree but it's just not the same thing, I can enjoy both personally, but long running series have a different feel than short one, since it sticks with you for so long.

One Piece is really bad with its pace though. Actually I read it all in one go to the Caesar arc then never went back in (things seems to get interesting here but I'm waiting to have enough material to read).

But I maintain what I said, long series have a different feel than short series, it kinda stick with you better emotionally, if you like it enough, I guess. Even if short series can do that too, but it depends actually. If the short series that did that was way longer it usually wouldn't bother me.

easy. You my friend. Enjoy the little arcs of drama/action/comedy. that's completely fine. Go ahead and enjoy it. I have to admit that some of the One Piece arcs are really enjoyable. I even liked the concept of Naruto when I first started the manga some what... 12 years ago? Before I realized that it isn't going anywhere.
The whole One Piece thing is fine to enjoy. There is just no "Main" storyline to it. It's more like a sitcom in the likes of brooklyn nine nine or south park. Lots of little stories that have very little to do with each other, could be mostly interchanged at will and sometimes recall elements of previous episodes. It's perfectly fine to enjoy. It's just not really a plot driven experience. Only that One Piece does it's "little stories" over several episodes.

The difference is an anime episode is equivalent to like three chapters of a manga (unless it's paced like shit)

Evangelion is a bad anime with bad characters and writing in general, it's only redeeming factor being some cool action scenes.

>>142226468
Is that an unpopular opinion? I picked it up because /a/ seems to love it but I couldn't keep going after 5 episodes. Maybe they get some amazing deep development after that but they were still badly drawn moeblobs at that point and I couldn't take the snorefest any longer.

>>142220782
I unironically love not just SAO, but its theme songs as well. Tomato actually became my seiyuufu because of SAO.

I don't like SoL as a genre, mostly because, in my opinion, it is the genre with the most unused potential. I mean, almost every SoL series I've seen people talking about is set in highschool, and the characters are almost always uninspired, bland archetypes, and seeing that and thinking about the general lack of creativity in the genre makes me unable to enjoy it.

One Piece is fucking amazing if you actually read it. Reading it weekly is great. One twist or surprise is guaranteed every week.

>>142228320
I stayed mostly because the history of their world intrigued me. Too bad that they didn't expand on it as much as I wanted, but there's enough evidence for you to figure it out yourself.

>>142222659
I wouldn't say that but it's pretty great and I need to finish watching it. It's quite similar- it very much turns the typically happy-go-lucky magical girl genre on its head with the whole losing senses, abilities and even limbs when using next-level powers thing.

>>142223085
I'm not necessarily agreeing with /co/ stuff pandering to extremist liberals, but anime is generally of a higher quality as far as stories, characters and subplots go. I've noticed that western cartoons are basically intended to continue indefinitely and never change the status quo- think Adventure Time or Spongebob or any given superhero cartoon. God, the Transformers series, any one of them. Anime on the other hand sets out to tell a particular story over a longer period of time, and therefore can get away with changing the status quo, which makes much more room for character dev, subplots and other fun little things. This even extends to anime intended for kids a lot of the time- think GuP and even the Pokemon series, which, however slowly, progresses and tells a story. I don't know why this is. Do nip kids have longer attention spans? Is it a culture thing?

Kino no Tabi is boring and there's no deeper meaning to any of the countries that you couldn't find on a PBS kids cartoon.

Kiznaiver is the closest thing the Gainax/Trigger team has made to Evangelion since Eva and it's also the best thing they made since Eva.

>>142228917
GuP is intended for kids? wtf

>>142229107
I watched it and enjoyed it but it certainly felt like it was a kids' show. Set aside all the tank tech-specs and I feel like it's seriously a show I could enjoy with a kid as young as 10. What 10-year-old doesn't want to watch a totally non-lethal tank fight?

I think LotGH is highly overrated, it's really lackluster and bland in terms of visual direction, has pretty poor exposition all over and the only good point is some of the aspects of its characterization.

Nausicaa anime is better than the manga. The animated medium added a lot, only thing manga has over it is Kushana having a more interesting background story.

Tomino was a moderately good storyteller and a terrible director.

>>142220868

Shigatsu was overrated. It was obvious what what going to happen since the beginning. The title makes no sense because the blonde girl never said she liked MCs friend, ergo she never lied. The MC was supposed to love and forgive her mother for being a complete failure as a parent and a piece of shit. The childhood friend who was in love with him story that has been made a million times was boring too. The drama was extremely forced. It was a 4/10 at best.

I agree with this desu. I've long come to terms with the fact that the manga will probably never be finished and Miura will probably die before he finishes it. Either way an unfinished Berserk would honestly not bother me as much anymore, and I feel like it'd probably do more to cement it among the greats with all the possible what could have been endings, than a stupid rushjob ending. The latter is actually my worst fear for Berserk.

Uh One Piece and Dragonball are the best shounen.

YuYu Hakusho and Kenshin are obscenely overrated and are downright mediocre. It almost makes me laugh how there used to be people who think Yu Yu hakusho is a more "mature" dbz yet the comparison is like comparing classic simpsons to family guy.

OPM, AoT, BnHA are pretty great series and all three are better than FMA. FMA is overrated and is merely a "good" shounen that does nothing unique and rarely takes any risks. It's soul eater tier.

Moe and Harem are cancer and escapist garbage that should be purged from the medium. They're worse than capeshit that dominates comics.

I don't consider anime's "advantages" (music, sound, color, movement) to be inherent advantages and prefer the act of reading to watching and find it to be more fulfilling. Plus I like being able to read at my own pace, I could read a chapter much faster than an episode even if the anime is 1:1 adaptation like Monster. Not to mention 90 percent of anime is a million miles from really pushing the medium to it's limit. I doubt even with a huge budget you can make an anime that does Berserk's visuals justice (among other things like it's ability to flow smoothly without having any dialogue at points), same for Vagabond, and a ton of manga that are art porn.

Fist of the North Star is pretty mediocre desu, and is dated as hell. Kenshiro is a boring character and the art is cheesy.

I prefer the retro art style of Tezuka, Ishinomori, Kojima, Ishikawa, Nagai over most current manga/anime.

Yabuki is overrated.

>>>/co/ thank you good bye.

Sword Art Online wasn't a great anime by any stretch of the imagination, but arc 1 was enjoyable and 2 was OK even if the Suguha shit got real weird sometimes. Yeah the MC was an edgelord faggot but there are no shortage of those in anime and I don't really understand why so many wannabe-elitist faggots hate it. The soundtrack was fucking fantastic as well, I still listen to it occasionally, and Kirito/Asuna's relationship actually felt like the kind of dopey retarded love that I could see between two stupid teenagers.

.Hack was almost as boring and terrible as it was pretentious. I stuck with it way longer than I wanted to since I thought I was just missing some brilliance, but I'm convinced it was actually hipster shit that people only like because they think they're supposed to.

One Piece is terrible drivel. It's like a bad DBZ that takes itself too seriously most of the time. Similar to .hack I spent way too much time trying to see what I was missing and eventually gave up.

Bleach is a fucking sin against humanity for how cool many of the character designs are (and (for the anime, soundtrack), but how terrible the story and character 'development' is. It just makes me madder every time I see it because the first few episodes absolutely drew me in, especially that first Menos Grande battle, and then everything since then was just painful aside from a few battles.

I don't really have that many other strong anime feelings, for the most part I can accept that people just have different tastes than me, but those four I feel very strongly about.

The main reason I wont watch the new Berserk anime is the fact they're using Shiro Sagisu again, and he's a fucking hack who was only good for the original EVA soundtrack and really can't get the tone of Berserk right in his music.

I guess my closest would be the observation that Dog & Scissors was good.

I don't give a shit what any of you think, I watch what I fucking like

Anime adaptations have all the potential to be better than manga. But since there are almost no good directors they almost never do.

I love the One piece, and Naruto Dub to heart.

Fairy tail is Mashimas uninspired trash remake of Rave Master.

I never truly LOVED Hellsing cause I always thought it was a copy of Hellboy. There titles even have the same ring to it. There plot is just way to similar too.

One Punch man was fun until the anime happened.

Kyoani has never produced a good anime, it has all ranged from "ok" to bad and this is coming from someone who likes SOL
