ITT: Awful trash people only defend out of nostalgia

i'm slowly playing the first dot.hack game

I defend it for the yuri

>>149266032
>trapped in a MMO show
>no animation budget for fighting
>have long drawn out conversations instead with panning images of the characters and backgrounds
>if the characters are in a dungeon, lead by seeing them swing a sword once
>proceed with eight minute conversation as they stand in place

Nobody defends this.

>>149266089
Who are you quoting?

>>149266032
I'll defend it for the OST.

>>149266032
It was too long and would've been better as 1-cour so they didn't have to fill time with boring conversations

We got to see Subaru's nipples after the last scene of the OVA and that probably started me down the path of degeneracy, so I love it for that at least

>>149266116
It wasn't trash, it's just hailed as the second coming of jesus by normies because it's the only anime they've seen.

Doraemon.

If you actually rewatch/reread it it's actually trash desu.

Gundam Wing

Came here to post this. Anyone claiming it's a masterpiece is crazy.

>>149266032
I wouldn't say it's shit but it's definitely bad. But I've never seen any fans really call it good, they usually admit even by .hack standards it's pretty bad.

How far did you watch? Because the anime is pretty damn faithful to the manga.

The ending ruins the whole show, it was shit before that though.

I've seen a diehard fan defend it saying "you have to play all the games."

>>149266927
Eva and One piece is a masterpiece

>>149266401

>>149266089
And its usually the SAO halfwits that trash it, mostly because they think every trapped in an mmo story should be another SAO.

>>149266981
This is the new defense of .hack apologists, and SAO is their scapegoat.

>>149266109
I second the motion

>>149267031
Actually I just hate the SAO fanbase for being among the stupidist on /a/. The two shows barely have anything in common yet we get assclowns like you attacking it. Mind you the butthurt that Log Horizon engendered was a lot funnier.

>>149266378
Then why are you greentexting?

>>149266902
try again

>>149267187
You don't get to call anyone "stupidist" if you find "butthurt" funny.

>>149266593
Fucking this

>>149267232
I'm not the one who posted it. And greentext has been used like that for yeers.

Also Escaflowne, I really wanted to like it.

.hack's OST is good, at least. The show itself is pretty meandering, though.

I think FLCL is kind of not that great either, outside of the music. It just feels like stuff Gainax did better both before and after.

>>149266960
I mean I can understand if they say the games are the strongest entry in the franchise or they represent it better or just they are better, I've never played the game but I've heard good things.

My favorite .hack is legend of the twilight which is only okay.

For what it's worth, it's still better than 99% of high-school themed anime

>>149266960
I haven't seen Sign, but there is literally no way it can be anywhere near as bad as the first 4 game series. It's the worst RPG I've ever played.

I'd kill for a .hack(or any mmo anime) where it was just people doing shit in an mmo, dealing with guild drama, server drama, raiding, pvping, and having fun.

Log Horizon is probably the best "trapped in an MMO" series I've seen so far though, but I only watched like 2 episodes of Overlord.

>>149266032
Fuck you I'll defend this.

I imagine the only reason people don't like this is because there isn't enough action and because most of it is just talking. But what you get from this formula is the characters being fleshed out more than any other show. It explored isolation and depression about as good as anything else, even better than most other shows. It wasn't the most visually striking anime but it didn't need to be because the dialogue was pretty strong. The only downside I can think of is that the plot won't make a lot of sense near the end if you haven't played the game, but it still can stand on its own if you really try to make sense of things. Also the OST is god tier.

>>149267595
Personally, I don't like it when a full understanding and appreciation of a series would require me to get less accessible media related to the franchise. The fact of the matter is //sign failed to make me a fan so I never looked forward to succeeding titles, and for a fan to say I have to [play games/source media/manga] is saying I have to be a fan to be a fan; it already made it's impression and I'm not obligated to follow through it.

.hack//SIGN is what Hyouka wished it could be.

>>149267879
That's not true. I don't like it because I don't like sulky teenagers in my anime. If an anime script would be made mostly from MMO chats I'd rather have funny, more positive or hopeful themes.

The rest of your defense is acceptable.

>>149266590
I think he's talking about the animation not the story

I know you only came to this thread to see if this was posted so.

The game was incredible though repetitive. Best soundtracks.


Loved Mistral and Gardenia the best.

GU games were shit and were a sign of the anime industry taking a turn for the worst: moeshit, pandering, ect

Besides the Liminality tie in, the animes were shit too.

>>149267870
Way too much backstory and they kept giving their concepts chinese terms, it stops being fun when Sugimoto stops playing Sasuke.

Gundam Wing. Because it was on Toonami and is the only Gundam many have seen, it's a 'classic'. It's not the worst when Turn-a-Gundam and Seed are out there but it's fucking boring.

>>149266032
Higarushi aka /a/'s first cute girls doing uncute things

Code Geass

>>149267660
I had fun, I can admit it's not that good. It was also my first MMO story.

>>149267845
Overlord kinda does that, it was an aimless but fun show. Only thing it lacks is guild mates but there's flashbacks for that and his servants kinda full that role.

>>149267914
Oh I agree, if people say you can't judge anything because you haven't experienced all of it is full of shit. I just say it's a fair claim if they say other stuff is better or if one entry isn't a fair representation of the whole franchise.

>>149268707
Then he's a child because the animation is perfectly fine unless he's one of those "I can't watch old animation" people, aka a child.

but the ost is better than anything released the last 5 years>>149266032

>>149269387
Are you serious? the production and animation is cheap as fuck, typical of those long running Toei series from the late 80's / 90's, with a terrible pace and rythm as they were airing at the same time the manga were published. There was shitloads of series with better production and animation from this period and before, just like this for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aB_CtfZqx0w

>>149266089
>>no animation budget for fighting
I just finished .hack//sign yesterday. The only fight that I really disliked was the group one in the cathedral, episode 25.

>>149267879
>The only downside I can think of is that the plot won't make a lot of sense near the end if you haven't played the game, but it still can stand on its own if you really try to make sense of things.
I thought I had a pretty good grasp of things until Helba deleted the field and suddenly there was a happy ending.

>>149267879
>Also the OST is god tier.
This might actually be your nostalgia talking. I got so sick of some of the tracks because they kept playing over and over again.

>>149266032
I disliked it even when it came out, OP. No nostalgia here.

>>149269736
So how much did you watch of HnK?

Really? I thought it was better than the manga

>>149266032
>>149266089
fuck you Sign did depression better than EVA. EVA is just Sign for autists who need fight scenes to stay interested in a show.

>>149266097
I wouldn't say it is trash because you could put whatever fucking animation you wanted to The Pillows and it'd be decent.

>>149266156
I'll fight you
It was the last good Gundam

>>149266032
I watched this show waiting for the action, there was like one good scene in the entire show. But while I waited for the action I started to like the characters and the world they played in.

>>149271713
I dont believe you. No ones taste is that shit. Trigun only gets better with the years. In the mists of shitty anime of today, watching Trigun is like a blast of artic air in the desert.

This.

0079 was the last good gundam

>>149266137
TTGL was one of the best anime ever. To bad Kamina died at the end.

>>149267591
>Escaflowne
Its actually really good when you get past the noses. I would say its less about nostalgia more about the time. You would have just had to have lived there.

>>149271940
Kamina died at the end of the 1st half not at the end of the anime

>>149271940
>To bad Kamina died at the end
>at the end

>>149272070
Stop making up things Anon.

>>149271940
Simon was a better character anyway.
I've found Kamina pretty bland. He lives only on his own hype, even outside of the anime.

>>149272060
I agree hole heartedly with this. I tried rewatching that show and I couldn't do it. The characters were just so bad. They were never good though. I think that was half the fun, watching them die.

>>149266137

Fuck off, cunt.

>>149272096
Why are you pretending the 2nd arc does not exist?

It had more down moments than part 1 but it also has the best moments in the sires like the fight with the anti spiral

>>149272184
No one cares about your fanfics.

>>149272022
I watched the first few episodes back in 2000 when they were on tv, the beginning made me nostalgia hard when I went back to finish the dub years later.

>>149272228
Damn, I cant even remember if I watched the sub or the dub. 90s dubs were pretty good though do it probably doesnt matter.

>>149272131
The characters were good but the whole premise were shit.

>>149272223
its not a fan fic its episodes 17-27

>>149272301
Nah, the characters were complete shit and the premise was a joke. But It was pretty and the concept of the mechathings was pretty great.

*pan*
*wind*
*OST*

segue.

>>149272321
Thats a pretty lame title even as fanfics go. But I suppose some people will delude them selves that much.

God damn, it was so boring.
Excellent soundtrack though.

Same with pic related - good soundtrack, but as exciting as watching grass grow

>>149272376
I know you are a troll but why are you acting like they dont exist? its not a fan fic its 10 episodes made by ginax

>>149272321
I too wish there were more episodes in TTGL

>>149272399
Now that had an amazing sound track. I loved it though. The ended was really fucking dumb but everything up to that was fun.

>>149272462
Yeah. It was odd that they just ended it kinda like when Light beat L at the end of Death Note.

The first half of the series were good but the second half went to shit. The characters made the series hold together until the ending. Only characters deserve their own spinoffs are Mai, Nao and Natsuki.

I mean a close friend to Mikoto

>>149272184
The second half is objectively terrible. The "down parts" consisted of everything until space and even then it wasn't that good, it just became a slideshow of aped animation where they drew GL over other famous super robots.
