He has Log Horizon and Kill La kill as 10s.Also he rates a few hentai but its mostly made by Queen Bee. I mean the only Queen Bee hentai I liked was Pisu Hame, because even though the animation is shit I liked the voice acting and traces of Okina's art are still present unlike fucking Nudist Beach which was a neutered piece of shit.

Well, I think it grew thanks to 3x3 promoting the anime and this guide.
The guide is honestly what got me to watch the show, even if it's horribly misguided and not as sad as it presents itself. Although I don't know how you judge the growth and side of the Doremi fanbase. I don't really see anyone talk about it on /a/ (old show and /a/ doesn't talk about good anime, etc etc) and I don't know go on any other place to talk about anime.

So no one important.
I find it annoying that people care to know who created a piece of work as though it gives an extra insight into the work. Especially when most have no direct influence on supporting creators. You can tell ''oh this person left their fingerprint of influence in this part'' which is nice to know but doesn't go beyond ''huh, that's cool to know'' trivia knowledge.

>>146405397
I think I discovered it through the same image when it was posted in a precure thread actually.
>>
>>146406014
I personally think it can be quite important, you can find a lot of work in many cases you might also like that you might not make connections to quite so easily just by knowing who key staff members are. I also find it interesting to look at how peoples work has developed and changed over their careers. However it does annoy me when people just spout this kind of stuff purely as a way of posturing to make themselves look more intelligent or like better anime fans so that they can look down on others who enjoy it in a more casual less researched fashion.

>you can find a lot of work in many cases you might also like that you might not make connections to quite so easily just by knowing who key staff members are.
That's true, but I find it irrelevant if you just watch everything. Like you say, it can give you a good estimation of the potential a show has (like if a well known director is making something, or who is making the anime) but I view it more as the growth of a person over time through their work. Interviews themselves can give you perspective into a show or work about what the creator(s) wanted to convey but less so about the identity of the person involved.
This annoyed me to no end because of how many people try to understand Anno's life and overall mood (or his battles with depression) so that they can get a better understanding of Eva. As though understand his depression gives a view on Eva at all. And while I am just singling one example, this is almost true of every medium, especially literature. So many people read bibliographies of an author's life in the hopes of understanding a work when there is nothing to understand except the journey of their life story. Humans have an innate desire to know more and then waste time trying to know more in an attempt to connect the pieces or know even more about life through art when it gets us nothing.
>it does annoy me when people just spout this kind of stuff purely as a way of posturing to make themselves look more intelligent or like better anime fans so that they can look down on others who enjoy it in a more casual less researched fashion.
I hold somewhat the same view. Who cares who made a certain show? How does knowing who made a show give you greater insight into the show itself and its messages or themes?
All it they do is just more research and reading for nothing. As though doing more research makes you a better anime connoisseur by virtue of your overall knowledge rather than your taste.

I don't do that and haven't for quite a while. I have found the majority of seasonal anime isn't worth my time and I don't gain enjoyment from watching shit nor do I have an autismal desire to watch what will likely be a ton of shit just to be able to say I watch absolutely everything. That might be influenced by the fact I rarely if ever discuss anime on /a/ anymore so have little to nothing at all to gain from it though. I generally select things to watch based on staff and connections to other things I have watched and liked (especially if its older) or just looking at a description and then deciding to give something a try.
>This annoyed me to no end because of how many people try to understand Anno's life and overall mood (or his battles with depression) so that they can get a better understanding of Eva
I get where you are coming from there people try to read too much into things from tiny bits of knowledge about authors like that when there are likely to be hundreds of factors deciding the content especially in a medium like anime where everything is decided by committee.
>knowledge rather than your taste
Knowledge can inform taste though. If you have no idea how to distinguish something well animated from something not so well animated you probably won't show much preference for the former over the latter. Or if for example you don't understand how classical music or jazz work you might struggle to appreciate those. Not that I am saying that these things are the right things to prefer or anything just that levels of knowledge about a medium can influence what you prefer or look for.

I mean more what everything and drop whatever you feel is shit. The three episode rule exists for a reason. I also find that knowing who made a certain work doesn't guarantee that the work itself will be good, only that it has potential to be good. Just as an unknown studio with an unknown director can potentially make something good, even if unlikely.
>If you have no idea how to distinguish something well animated from something not so well animated you probably won't show much preference for the former over the latter.
That's where experience or how much you've watched/read comes in more than the knowledge of who made the art. Knowing that a music piece was made by X or knowing their backstory or the music company that helped produce it will not tell you anything about that track or what you can learn about life.
In the example of music, you learn more about life through art by reading the lyrics, seeing what other people have to say (if you don't have the taste or experience to know it). All those factors are within the work itself, not how a piece was produced or by whom.
The knowledge of judging the quality of a work of art is important which can give you an insight into the work itself, and in turn tell you more about life since art is a selective re-creation of reality according to an artist’s metaphysical value-judgments.
Getting greater appreciation of how a work is made is not as important as what the work tells us about life or the overall enjoyment of the work.
>>146407367
>Princess Tutu
I've been meaning to change it with something but nothing has come up to replace it. I was thinking replacing it with Twintails but rewatching it change my mind.
>>
>>146407700
>what everything
watch*
I type whatever sounds like the correct word in my head instead of how it's written.
>>
>>146407700
Princess Tutu wasn't bad, my issues with it stem from the pacing problems in the second half, were plot progression really slowed down and became a tad bit formulaic. I'll give it credit for its topnotch ost though. If I wasn't so averse to using half rating I would probably rate it more accordingly.
>>
>>146406014
Because art wouldn't be made possible without the artists?
>>
>>146407700
> I also find that knowing who made a certain work doesn't guarantee that the work itself will be good
Yeah I don't have time to waste watching everything so I either go based on creators involved or something just catching my eye. If you miss something with that technique you are likely to see people of similar tastes praising it in the future. Not that I was saying this method was fool proof I mean I tried watching Kekkai Sensen because Matusmoto directed it and that was shit yet I liked her Precure film and the Kyousogiga shorts.
>That's where experience
I don't think any amount of experience/watching will necessarily lead you develop an understanding of that kind of thing but neither necessarily does knowing much about the people involved either having a generalised knowledge in a technical researched and experiential sense beyond just watching things will. It's being able to critically evaluate things with a contextual understanding that really matters in terms of developing taste and that is something that comes from both experience and read/researched knowledge. Think about it for example most people will have watched multiple 1000s of hours of television or countless films in their lifetime and still be completely ignorant about the medium and watch pure garbage.
>In the example of music
With regards to the music example I was noting that if you lack that kind of knowledge about the medium more generally than just the creator you probably will always find it difficult to appreciate those kinds of genres fully and find little enjoyment in them compared to people who have researched them due to lacking the fundamental knowledge required to understand what you are hearing in the context to make it enjoyable. Greater appreciation of how a work in a certain medium is made will influence what you appreciate in that medium and for what reasons. It might not affect overall enjoyment but can affect what you enjoy or why.
>>
>>146407700
>I was thinking replacing it with Twintails
I thought you already subbed twintails in.
>>
>>146408248
>my issues with it stem from the pacing problems in the second half
I have those same problems. It's essentially the only big flaw of the anime.
In the second half, it keeps being
>muhahahaha I must kidnap this random person as sacrifice for the giant crow!
>No, stop it Mytho!
>Drag, it's Princess tutu, but hahahaha you will not stop me this time
>noo Mytho, please person who got kidnapped, remember, remember what makes you happy
>huuhh? Oh right... I'm person X I guess I'll stop being sad
>Arghhh curse you Princess tutu!!! I will return!!!!!
And this happened for four or five episodes or something.
The middle of the show promised something along the lines of events happening outside of princess tutu range which was extremely interesting but it never delivered on that promise and honestly felt scrapped.
But the ending saved the show entirely. God what an ending. Either way, I really love Tutu despite those flaws. Honestly, I'm stuck between putting Escaflowne or Tutu in my slot. They both have the same level of excitement and enjoyment for me.
>>146408610
Of course, artist are needed to make art (you wouldn't have art without humans either) but does the knowledge of who an artist is or what they've done in the past matter more than what the art conveys?

I rewatched Twintail this morning and it wasn't as good as I remembered it. It was too slow for my taste even though I really liked everything about it, and it didn't make me like it as much as Tutu.
I might replace Tutu with Escaflowne but it has too much nostalgia love that it blinds me from how much of it I love because I really love it or I'm too biased because it's one of the very first shows I watched.

I'm curious to know what you disliked about them. I have a diehard nostalgic admiration of Albator and Moomins.
>>
>>146415980
I don't have nostalgia for them. Moomins just doesn't endear me. And Harlock just elicits apathy from me, it doesn't have what I like in matsumoto's other work.
>>
>>146416252
And Monster?
You better not tell me you disliked the ending or I'll just go nuts.
>>
>>146416541
It didn't need to be any where near as long as it was. Most of it was Tenma does something minor, show skips to some where else where a story was playing out with or with out Johan, it would go for 6 or 7 episodes and the some how involve Tenma, Repeat.
>>
>>146416599
I wish Tenma was more proactive.
>>
>>146416599
Yeah, that's more a problem with Urasawa's work and writing style overall. One of his biggest faults is that he adds a lot of interesting and humane characters that just run around and do nothing with the plot, as the main villain just walks and does whatever he wants, doing evil things with no one able to stop him.
This is even more of a problem in 20CB, arguably his worst work, because NOTHING is achieved or figured out throughout the entirety of the story. However, the thing with Monster is that Tenma, while going around trying to find Johan, does uncover the mystery and does end up finding Johan. The development of the core mystery works imo.
But I find that the enjoyment of the show depends on how much you enjoy the central mystery. I find that the overall mystery of Monster to be excellent.
>>
>>146417659
The mystery? Which one? for me the mystery just felt like being pulled by a fishing line and learning tid bits about Johan.
>>
>>146417911
>for me the mystery just felt like being pulled by a fishing line and learning tid bits about Johan.
That's the one. Johan's past. Who he is. The core mystery is whether or not Johan was born evil or had a tragic backstory. Is someone made into a monster or is someone born as one?

The slow pace personally made it better. I'm the type of person who loves slow pace if it works in terms of narrative. The slow pace made everything have more weight to it. As though the cat and mouse game felt like a long game of chase that would never end. The story takes place over 3 years but it feels longer. When Tenma feels as though he has the weight of the world on his shoulders, with all the endless dead ends just to find this mysterious person that has no name, the slow pace adds to that immersion. The manga is good but because you read it faster, it lacks that added weight. It's personally why I like the anime over the manga.
Plus the music adds so much more. And Johan looks more angelic in the anime than in the manga imo.
I really love the anime and it feels as though people don't love it because they don't understand Johan or the core mystery because the ending doesn't give you the answers. The village perfect suicide feels like it comes out of nowhere but it doesn't. It directly fits with Johan's overall nihilistic philosophy. The twist at the end is a fake twist Johan told Tenma to fuck with him so that he could lay enough doubt and escape.
Everything about the show is perfect if you pay enough attention to it. One of these days I'll finish my video explaining the end portion of Monster and everyone will love it.

Your ignorance about analyzing media (literature, film, music, etc) is astounding .
