What's your edgiest non bait opinion? I think Bakemonogatari

Welcome to the NHK is not good.

>>144527272

I genuinely enjoy first 12 episodes of SAO.

I think Muv Luv is overrated and is literately babby's first serious VN that doesn't completely revolve around boning the girls. .

It's probably not terribly edgy but I really did not enjoy the series.

CGDCT is shit tier anime for brain dead idiots.

Aria anime is bad.

Nice blog, upvoted

I like Musashi beatuing everyone in Baki Dou. Sorry.

I despise old shit from before 1995 or so, i think there's literally no reason to bother with older stuff, and the ones that do it are either hopeless old men or snobby idiots trying to feel like experts of refined taste in chinese cartoons.

I tend to shun newer anime

Little Busters would have been better if they all stayed dead at the end.

golden era of Japanese anime is already over and within our lifetimes, actual chinese cartoons are going to replace them.

I think people who ship characters in a battle shounen are the scum of the earth.

Mine is that I think Monogatari would be significantly more enjoyable and respectable if it had a balanced gender cast instead of a harem, and it removed romantic/sexual elements between Araragi and at least a few of the girls. There's no reason it has to resort to pandering to be good, it's clever and well directed and that wouldn't have to change with more male characters and less fanservice.

To sell well is another story, I guess there's no arguing against otakubucks but I still mourn what it could be if it wasn't so focused on giving people boners.

There's literally nothing wrong with shipping, it's just for fun. Arguing about shipping or taking it seriously, however, is retarded.

It helps to ship homo couples that you can't expect to ever be canon anyway.

New shaft is utter trash and is near incapable of producing something worthwhile. The anime that I've wanted an adaptation more than anything since the manga's release is 3gatsu.

I'm very, very concerned for the release.

>>144527272
I can't get into Monogatari at all. There's so much talking that I just zone out.
There's nothing wrong with watching lengthy anime (~200 episodes or more) at 4x speed if you just wanna get it over with.
Cowboy Bebop is fucking boring. I managed four episodes before dropping it.

>>144528656
Incidentally, while look for these "new shaft" anime i found out they made the Kid Icarus and Link animated short.

Psycho Pass, despite clear flaws in design and setting was very well made and severely underrated. People who dismiss it as "pretentious" don't understand it on even a fundamental level and it's literally 2deep for them. The only reason it's not the best of anime is because it was dumbed down so it could sell to idiots.
Shame about season 2 though.

Jojo past parts 1-3 got steadily worse until it became just as shitty as naruto. It seems araki just didn't know how to keep up that special charm the first parts had.

TTGL is too stupid to be enjoyable.

While it may be true that an anime doesn't need good animation to be considered quality overall, 99% of good animated works tend to have good animation.

This list is far more trustworthy in determining quality anime than any of the 3x3-core trash you /a/ "elitists spout of.

Shipping non homo characters are degeneracy.

I didn't like Tatami Galaxy as much as Yuasa's other works. I don't like time reset theme in general.

I actually enjoyed all of naruto, even the ending and I'm excited to see where boruto is headed

Sunrise is my favorite studio.

Aria is for edgy kids that want to watch moeshit, but want to pretend that they hate moeshit.

Mushishi is insipid trash for kids that want to feel intelligent.

Steins;Gate is an awful harem series with a shitty plot littered with plotholes. Robots;Notes is also a shit series, but its significantly better.

The only good part of the entire Monogatari series is episode 12 of Bakemonogatari. I also jerked off to episode 8 of Nisemonogatari.

Chaika was one of the best shows in recent years.

Kara no Kyoukai is absolute shit, but Part 5 is a solid 8/10. Everything else is like 1-3/10.

SA:O is a much better show than Log Horizon or Overlord.

It was early and dealt with things not common in manga at the time. Now the same issues have been dealt with over and over. I mean, it came out in 89'.

I only like watching comedies and anime for little girls. Except for some rare exceptions everything kind of pisses me off and I often get too annoyed to keep watching.

Wow thanks. I'm going to change my opinion now because you had a rather convincing argument.

>What's your edgiest non bait opinion?

The only people who have enjoyed Madoka are kids who have never watched something good (or deep, if you like this word) before.
Saya and Kyoko friendship is the same level of Goku and Vegeta.
Mami was just a random character made do die.
Madoka is just a typical school girl, she does nothing in 99% of the anime.
Homura is the only good written character.

In fact, this anime is so popular because we live in the "little girls doing cute things" era. If they have put some boys, or if the girls were older, this show wound't have so much fame.

hidamari sketch is vapid to the point of being completely unenjoyable and the only thing it has going for it is a great artstyle

I actually like slice of life but this show does nothing for me

Other than OPM I don't feel a good action anime has been made since TTGL.

I think Yuno is pathetic to the point of just being annoying. I don't like Sae, she's the fun-hating one and she never has any good scenes or engages with the other characters in a meaningful way. Hiro is pretty much a non-character, she exists just to be the group mom and never really does anything either besides cook food.

The characters are extremely static and never change in any way, and this is in part due to its achronological presentation I think. And since I don't like the characters, I really don't care about their daily hijinks.

Here's a controversial opinion: OPM is good.

>>144537090
I suppose that's fair. The primary reason I like the show is because I find the character interactions engaging.
That said, you're definitely overexaggerating the character defects here. Yuno is a bit meek but by no means is she a doormat nor does anything she does reasonably qualify as pathetic. Sae is of the "fun-hating" archetype but she spends plenty of time goofing around with everyone anyways so it clearly doesn't define her. I'll agree she has the least interesting character interactions. This goes for Hiro too, although she's in that motherly archetype, her relationship with Sae still lends complexity to her character.

Psycho Pass is absolute garbage and the perfect diagnostic tool for determining whether or not a critic has absolutely no taste in regard to the quality of writing, and only cares about things such as the direction and art-style.

I can't stand pretty much everything by Hayao Miyazaki. It all feels like it's trying way too hard. Similar to the oscar-bait movies that Spielberg makes. Like they are just designed for feels and the production is so whimsical or emotional. I can't enjoy them.

I was going to say exactly this but you beat me to it. Of course I'm only talking about the manga, and I assume you are too. The anime is absolute shit tier. I mean it's my absolute favorite manga I've read in the 11 years I've been reading manga but I can't make it through a single anime episode.

>>144530107

Berserk 2016 actually isn't that bad. Yes the CG in the first episode is atrocious, but the second episode-onwards gets better. I'm guessing that the first episode was super rushed, since all the promo shots were from that episode.

And while I'm digging my own grave, I'll also say I prefer the english voice acting in the original Berserk series and The Golden Age. It wasn't perfect but it was pretty great imo

>>144533907
You know some of the most acclaimed mystery films of all time do that right?

>>144535873
Have you watched dead leaves

>>144541807
No. Is it good?

>>144541469
Are you a natural-born memer or did it take practice to get where you are?

>>144530352
If we're talking the manga only, I fully agree.

Although I feel Ishida dropped the ball ever since the xXxBlackReaperxXx bullshit until now. Cochlea was way more boring than it had any right to be, given the potential that it had, but I believe Ishida can get over it and return to the roots. It went a little too battle shonen for a while, but I think the way it's going, there's very little reason for that to continue in as big a capacity as it's being given currently.

I don't see why it should be a controversial opinion, though. Even if you think Tokyo Ghoul isn't particularly good, it's still better than Bleach, Naruto, SAO and AoT (I know this isn't a high threshold but stay with me here)

And while no one will say you have great taste for reading Bleach, they at least won't use it as an excuse to shitpost from the get-go.

I also feel edgy has become the shittiest buzzword in recent memory. It never really brings anything to the table, only blatantly dismisses things.

If Berserk was created today, it would also be called edgy, and I'm pretty sure you'd have lots of posters sperging if you dared imply that Berserk is edgy. (I disagree heavily with it as well)

I unironically enjoyed Elfen Lied and Mirai Nikki

That was actually good dialogue since later you learn her parents beat her.

Why won't they just re-use the guy that made fate/zero and madoka?

>>144544965
Anime doesn't have hardcoded strengths or weaknesses which people are supposed to follow or avoid. "Animation" is a binary quality, something either is or isn't animated. If it's animated it's already "using the medium" as fully as possible.
Someone could follow your logic and say, oh, the strength of animation is in its unrealistically cute girls, so why even make anime if you aren't going to take advantage of that?

>>144542642
>Because why have it anime if you wont? Why not write a novel or play, or direct a film.
Are you retarded?
A story that takes place over 5 (or 10) hours, split into mostly discrete 23 minute intervals, is inherently going to be structured differently from a novel, or a theatric work, or a film
if someone feels like putting their story in that format, for whatever reason, they're going to do that no matter how they feel about animation

>>144554196
I genuinely don't see the difference between the OVAs and the main series (I only read the manga). They're just the Jinchu flashback with moodier directing. They're enjoyable enough but all the praise they get confuses me. Also the voice acting was shit.

Slice of life and comedy tend to be of higher quality than edgy or shonen shit.

And I hate naive faggots who don't understand that manga and anime are products, and fujoshi are a viable market.

Detailed magic systems are great though, it's meaningless if every fight is just
>my beam is stronger than your beam
>no, my super beam is stronger than your beam
x100
Most shounen mangaka can't do fight choreography for shit anyway, so it's best that they create a system where the MC can be limited instead of giving him convenient power ups.

>>144560052
Having a magic system doesn't stop a character from getting a power up. If anything, that makes it more common, since the authors love to find some "loophole" that ends up making the MC stronger than everyone else.

>>144527272
Anime that rely on gratuitous fanservice (with a few exceptions) or cute girls doing things are absolute trash in my eyes. I don't always want serious dark and edgy anime, but if I want something light-hearted and fun I don't want it to be the schlock made to appeal to the lowest common denominator.

>>144560201
If there are any convenient power ups they tend to be more sparse in anime with magic systems. In HxH, for example, Gon only had one actual bullshit power up but that's only 1 power up in 300+ chapters.

Whereas trash like Gash Bell, with no actual system and just gives the MC spells when he's a tight situation, has at least 6-7 power ups and one really bullshit one throughout 300+ chapters.

I agree with this, but still think it's a good show.

No argument here.

NTR is so commonplace and uninteresting to me that I just file it under "Vanilla"
I don't dislike it, there's just nothing about it that makes it interesting enough to be seen as a fetish by me, so I just see straight past it in a way.

Berserk, Kino no Tabi and LoGH are fucking shit

School Days is a genuinely good deconstruction of the harem genre. It deserves more credit for that.

They asked for non-bait, fuckwit

if this isn't autism, I don't know what is. That doesn't even make sense.

Psycho Pass is a clear case of japanese misundertanding 1984 and thinking it was an instruction manual.

>>144541242
OP said non-bait, shitlord

>>144566538
That isn't bait and isn't even that unpopular of an opinion. Shigatsu is trash.

Then could you elaborate, instead of just sitting and spouting anecdotal shit?

Attack on Titan, Kill-La-Kill and Psycho-Pass were the defining anime that made me bored of the entire medium as a whole. It made me realize how immature it really is.
Also the Berserk manga is subpar overall.

>>144567001
What's to elaborate? The show is obnoxious, poorly paced, and kinda stupid. People like it because it has a pretty girl that dies and tries to have serious themes. Why don't you tell me why you like it?

ReZero is shit and this opinion shouldn't be controversial but it is.

Also enjoying schadenfreude is equivalent of liking NTR

>>144528163
Same, my friends read ahead though which I find stupid if you already know what's going to happen, why even watch it?

Excepted of course you've been following the series for a long time and now that it has an anime you want to see your favourite characters animated

>>144567270
That's not a controversial opinion, there's just a lot of underage posting on /a/.

How can you unironically enjoy middle schoolers having gibberish monologues for half the episode, it's bad melodrama. Real people don't speak like that. That whole scene with the fireflies, how did that not make you cringe?

>>144567270
I like it mostly because of the genuinely well-paced and assembled development of the main character. A truly 3/10 show would have taken the main girl and made her into the sole reason a shut-in like Kousei came out of his shell. KimiUso elevates itself by having it's main character take many of his own steps, instead of relying solely on the support of the people around him.

The performance sequences were honestly masterfully directed, with clear conveyance and smart use of symbolism and reincorperation. On subsequent viewings, that reincorperation elevated many of the smaller character interactions, and highlighted the show's quality writing. I can safely say this show always had it's intents laid out, and was able to maintain a solid pace and sense of direction.

As far as I can tell, the only people who don't like this show are either just burnt out on these kinds of stories as a whole, or are just being contrarian for the edge factor.

>>144567594
Because I'd been paying attention beforehand, and was able to understand what the discussion was actually about?

>>144562712
Aside from Paprika (which I haven't seen yet), those are completely normal and understandable opinions. You probably don't understand the word "edgy".

>>144567420
>enjoying schadenfreude is equivalent of liking NTR
Hey you.

Fuck you.

>>144528656
That actually has its best staff on 3gatsu, who have mostly been working on the Monogatari movies. I don't think they're gonna fuck up.

>>144528978
The idea of a city built on preventing crime controlled by hivemind brains from psychopaths. I get the irony here. I'm sure you think this is some brilliant twist that provokes one to question those who enforce their code of ethics on others.

>>144567632
>I like it mostly because of the genuinely well-paced and assembled development of the main character
Is this a fucking joke? The main character's development is horribly paced. He goes through the same shit episode over episode, and even resolves part of his issues before they come up again for no reason at all. The development is nothing special at all and it takes fucking forever.

>The performance sequences were honestly masterfully directed, with clear conveyance and smart use of symbolism and reincorperation.
They're also voiced over with horribly obnoxious monologues that ruin them utterly despite them being fairly well directed. There's some interesting stuff in there but it's ruined by the show assuming it's viewers are a bunch of idiots and explaining everything until it's all just infuriating.

>>144567679
If you'd been paying attention you'd realize how ridiculous their dialogue is. I guess the pretty imagery distracted you from how garbage the writing was

>>144567849
Moments of schadenfreude are okay to enjoy, but when the whole show's purpose is that it's just shit and you shouldn't do that to yourself

>>144567252
That pic would be great if she was biting in something less distasteful, like pocky or something.

>>144568085
Not being direct does not mean poorly written. Kaori uses nebulous language in order to guide Kousei's thoughts, allowing him to figure things out for himself, while still providing a helping hand. This really isn't that hard, bruv.

>>144568068
>He goes through the same shit episode over episode, and even resolves part of his issues before they come up again for no reason at all.
Ever heard of a relapse, boyo?

>horribly obnoxious monologues
True, to a degree. One criticism I can level at this show is that it leaves far too much important information to these monologues. Having so much of the significance behind Love's Sorrow be kept from the viewer until the moment where it's purpose is at an emotional climax is incredibly near-sighted and lazy. I still hesitate to say that this is an all-damning problem, though.
