Post unpopular opinions here
One Piece stopped being good after Alabasta.
I don't like fanservice.
It takes away from the experience in a lot of cases
>>152265862
You didnt like Skypeia?

After Whisky Peaks*
>>152265836
I think Trigun is exceptional.
I don't like Madoka Magica and Love Live,
they're all retarded moe girls
Outlaw Star is mediocre. The only reason why anyone says it's good around here is because nostalgia goggles or they are new to anime.
Everyone should have husbandos AND waifus. 2D is just that superior.
Re zero was above average and one of the few shows I enjoyed for memes which goes to show how much of a shit show 2016 was.
The only good post-Nichijou shows KyoAni has made are Amagi and Maidragon.
I love my wife Asuna
boku no hero academia is a slightly worse version of naruto
Anime is good.
Diebuster is objectively better than Gunbuster.
>>152265836
I think Neon Genesis Evangelion has something to do with Christianity although Anno stated that it's just so it looks cool but actually Anno just trying to spread Christianity through Mecha Anime
>>152265836
I think that Neon Genesis Evangelion is overrated.
>>152265836
Steins;Gate is average at best. It had poorly done time travel plot, one dimensional characters and subpar visuals. I like the OP song, though.
>>152265836
Homura did nothing wrong.
I think "'overrated" is a word retards with no brains use.
Im posting from a phone and I don't feel bad.
Everything Getter Robo to come out after the 80s is shit, except Shin Getter Robo. TTGL is better than Armageddon.
K-On anime is mediocre K-On manga is unreadable trash
Gunbuster pure shit.
Cocks are gross.
>>152266177
I second this opinion. Everyone calls anything decent overrated these days.
Pop Team Epic isn't funny
Monster really is overrated shit
CGI can be good.
Pre-digital tv anime had better use of color than digital film anime.
Is it unpopular for people to prefer Kira to Dio?
JoJo was never good.
>>152266368
>digital film
???
>>152266403
In Japan maybe. Otherwise no, Kira is the most popular villain in the entire series, with only Funny Valentine coming up close. Dio is more iconic, but Kira is the favorite.
Gundam Wing had the best mechs in the franchise.
>>152265908
If that's an unpopular opinion around here this place really has gone to shit.
>>152265862
After it stars*
I actually love Keit-ai.
i wish there was more actual yuri anime and not just yuri bait
>>152266702
why can't you just admit to yourself that you're gay rather than living it vicariously through cartoon characters
I unironically enjoy Schoolgirl Strikers
>>152265888
Not anon.
I personally like Enel as villain but it was a complete waste of time.
>>152266723
because gay male relationships i don't like, only gay girls
Everyone secretly loves Gundam IBO but talks shit about it because they want to fit in
>>152266769
deep down you know its the platonic fact that one gender is attracted to its own that turns you on, rather than necessarily the female form
It's okay to use /b/, Reddit, Facebook, or MAL, go outside, fap to 3D, and have friends or even a gf, as long as you don't talk about that shit on /a/
My head canon for Dragonball has the show ending after the Freiza saga.
Ufotable makes shitty CGI Animation
>>152266820
thanks doc, you've figured me out
time to go to the gay bar

One Punch Man is utter trash

>>152266302
Most of us only understand a fraction of the jokes anyways
Satoshi Kon has only made mediocre shit except for maybe Tokyo Godfathers.
Kirito > Guts
Is this considered unpopular?
i want a sport anime that isn't just yaoi bait, and where everyone plays realistically and aren;t super powered
>>152266968
watch real sports then
or better yet take up one IRL and get some exercise
>>152266968
That's not that uncommon.
>>152266863
I'll meet you there.
>>152266968
>i want a sport anime that isn't just yaoi bait, and where everyone plays realistically and aren;t super powered
Some autistic shitposter has posted a thread about an anime just like that every day at 8 AM for quite awhile
Yuri on Ice was objectively better than Flip Flappers.
>>152267001
i do watch real sports
and play them
but that rugby one was disappointing.
I've never seen someone stop, chat with someone, then turn around and run down an opponent before
>>152266350
I second this. Still prefer 2D, but CGI has merit
>>152267080
I did that all the time when I played rugby but then again I was a beast
when I was in a rook I'd just curl up into the fetal position and stay there. I would win the game doing that
>>152267137
>rook
yeah mate, must've been a GOAT rugby player
>>152267214
I played for tigers m8
>>152266350
The first four JoJo openings are proof CGI anime can be good if done right.
I have hated very nearly everything Kyoani has ever produced and I don't understand the appeal for any of their past like 5 series.
>>152267314
Kyoani?
>>152265862
*after the second it was created
>>152267327
Kyoani.
>>152267314
except Keit-ai right?
>>152267371
Kyoani,huh?
>>152267394
Yup, Kyoani.
NHK feels like someone interviewed a true neet to write it but said neet lied a lot
I don't read berserk for the action scenes but for the world building/characters since I find them incredibly boring, just like the majority of action scenes in film/manga/anime.
I don't give a shit about "world building" or "character development".
I literally dont get this retarded torrent > streaming meme. I have a laptop with limited space taken up by my programming files and games installed leaving me barely less than 20gb of free space. Why would I bother tormenting a show Im probably not going to like when I can just find a decent stream with subs online within a google search and be done with it?
I like Naruto, Attack on Titan, Sword Art Online, Re:Zero. I think they are fun and decent anime. I think people hate them because they see the level of popularity the shows got and think the shows don't deserve it. So people hate them to counter balance that.
>>152266554
the anime was pretty bad imo and has an awful ending, never read the manga. but i don't think most of /a/ thinks that the anime is bad.
>>152267713
That's just when streams sucked and you had to let it buffer for a bit before it would play. Anything that was quality had to be done by torrenting.
>>152266177
It can truthfully apply to quite a few anime though, it's just that too many retards on the internet use it to describe something they don't like that others do.
>>152267713
because the quality of the video is worse. also no filters of the video from your player like debanding filters. just download it, watch it and delete it.
Spirited Away is shitty story.
Howl's moving castle tried to do too much story in little time.
I don't like neither.
Code Geass had a stupid ending.
>>152267828
What if I don't give a shit and am happy as long as I can clearly see and hear what's happening? It's anime. It won't look any more mindblowing when it's fucking 4k.
>>152267824
Yes and it applies to Yuri on ice. Proof is crunchyroll awards. It just cant be as good as it was popular, it even won shit it absolutely had no right to like best animation. I can admit "overrated" is overused but it has its purpose.
>>152267952
i didn't even mentioned resolution. most of the streams use the torrent files but to stream it they lower the quality of it. (not talking about official streams)
why watch something looking worse for no reason?
the image quality is worse, there's no reason not to download it. stop trying to defend a stupid position. you want to stream go ahead, people have reasons to tell you what you doing is stupid.
The most emotional and impactful part of Eva were Kaji and Misato.
Asuka is interesting as a person. If she didn't have a plugsuit and had normal black hair she would still be interesting.
Kozo is a better doctor and a better manager than Gendo.
>>152268057
>why watch something looking worse for no reason
>no reason
I dont have space fucktard and Im not gonna buy another hard drive just to watch chink girls unless I actually need it.
i dont hate any series
i either like it, am neutral to it, or just dont care
>>152268087
but anon, asuka best girl
>>152268091
you don't have space for less of 1 gb file?
you do know that the episode occupies space while you are streaming it right?
>>152265836
Nagisa is best girl.
>>152266240
>Getter robo armageddon
>shit
I kick your ass
Sora is the worst YnS girl
Stone Ocean is the best part
>>152265836
Dragonball > Dragonball Z
>>152268220
that's a popular opinion on /a/ though
>>152268220
that is not unpopular.
>>152268057
But the stream quality is completely sufficient for me , I don't want to wait for the download to finish, just watch it and go to the next episode. Fuck, I'm not even watching in fullscreen because I want to keep a side eye on other things.
>>152268231
>>152267713
>I literally dont get this retarded torrent > streaming meme.
And I just explained you this. It's not a meme. It has reasons for it. You want to stream go ahead. If people call you out, accept it and move on.
>>152267420

She is, I never said she wasn't.
I think anime and manga is just a fun hobby and that a lot of people online, not just on /a/ but also on tumblr, twitter and other websites, take it way too seriously. It's fine liking or not liking something but the moment you make a big deal out of your preference or in some anime or manga because said anime/manga is overrated or underrated, you're most likely going to come across as an annoying piece of shit. I don't care that much when that's the case on /a/ because that's part of the fun, but on twitter I've seen friendships end over stupid shit like "is yuri on on ice queerbaiting and offensive".
I like short series over long ones, unless the long ones are a bunch of short stories.
I don't mind it when something becomes popular with normies because as annoying they can be, it makes the series more accessible and more merchandises, books and BD/DVD are available in stores, and that's what matters the most.
>>152268104
Same thing for me.
>>152266968
Watch real sport or older anime like Captain Tsubasa. Eyeshield 21 will always be one of my favorites, I can't recommend it enough.
>>152268391
that opinion is popular everywhere but here
you can leave
>>152268391
Stay there then.
>>152268428
I don't take anyone/anything on /a/ seriously.
It's a nice source of information,but I don't take your criticism seriously.
>>152268545
I said it's not that bad on /a/. I was more complaining about fanbases on other websites because they take themselves way too seriously.
i hate it when characters speak english in anime. even if its just a poorly pronounced bye bye or something like that i dislike it. stop being such angloboos you gook cunts, speak your own language
we grew here you flew here, fuck off we're fullbut seriously it really annoys me
>>152268220
I can hardly think of any opinion less unpopular.
Monster's ending wasn't bad in the slightest to me nor did I find it to be underwhelming. There, I said it.
Yuri!!! on ice was fall AOTS.
>>152268091
You're literally downloading the episode when you're watching it, you do realize that right?
>>152268615
What makes it a /v/eddit thread?It's a pretty shit thread though
>>152268648
it's a /v/tard formula
>>152268639
Dling and watching simultaneously isn't the same as dling then watching, you mong.
>>152268683
And you know /v/tard formulas how?
>>152268775
>Dling and watching simultaneously isn't the same as dling then watching, you mong.
Except you can set up your torrent client to do the same exact thing so it is.
>>152268775
Not an argument
>>152265836
School Days was great.
Gungrave was shit regardless of the first episode.
>>152266968
Giant Killing
>>152266161
Like your mom pussy
There hasn't been a good show in two years
>>152269587
what was the last good one?
>>152269725
Ping Pong or Space Dandy, whichever aired last
>>152269303
Was it the art/animation or the jarring scifi zombies?
>>152266968
Dude, realistic SoL high school team sports anime, so long as there are some decent character, would be my shit.
I really like the characters in Haikyuu, but I think it is a bit too much in the vein of Kuroko no Basket. I want to see an anime where winning the matches isn't life or death. While the team do play matches and such, they spend more time just bonding and improving. A lot of the things they do would be episodic and not based around arcs. The team spends episodes doing stuff like going to spectate a professional match or maybe at the end of the year there is an episode where everyone gets sad (even cries?) that 3rd years are leaving. Even though the anime would mostly be about fun episodic adventures, everything is still somehow related to the sport. Haikyuu has a bit of this, but it is not enough and that is why I want more. The last season was literally 1 match that lasted 10 episodes, and before that the last half of season 2 was a tournament. Fuck that. I want more training camp, it's been forever since I have seen the characters outside an actual match. Even though it's sounding like I just want a SoL series like K-on, I really do want something more focused than K-on. For fuck sake, multiple entire episode have nothing to do with actual musically activity. But is it too much to ask for something in between. I want to see matches and tournaments, I just don't want them span entire seasons and prevent any thing else from being showed.
Also I would like to get to know eveyone on the team, and see them all do something even if not in a match. Give Ennoshita and his friends some screen time or otherwise just don't have them in the first place. Kuroko is even worse at this, I knew maybe 4 people on the Seirin Team. I hate all the filler characters in sports anime. It really prevents a feeling of intimacy, like the feel the band in K-on gives off.
Pain was the best villain in Naruto and the series should have ended with his defeat. Everything after that arc was abysmal and the Uchiha plot was stupid as shit. Characters like Obito and Madara should never have seen the light of day.
>>152265836
Cowboy Bebop is not as good as everyone says
>>152270609
Just watched the series through for the first time
I think its really endearing, but a lot of the time it feels video-gamey and stupid
But there's a lot to like there. The way it presents its world without feeling the need to be masturbatory and go into every single detail of it
>>152265836
I want a Muslim anime protagonist
>>152265836
There are less than 100 good anime in existence
>>152270911
TLDR
The most famous Ghibli movies aren't very good. Mononoke has paper-thin, one-dimensional characters and loses its plot and message mid-way though, Spirited Away has nothing to say and is pretty pointless overall, and Totoro seems to be made for literal toddlers.
>>152267024
FF is not a good show, but YoI is garbage for reasons beyond it being yaoibait.
>>152270911
is this actually any good?
is it worth reading?
Freezing is a pretty good, albeit shallow, show about hot girls hacking up each other to pieces.
I don't like yuri.
Alibaba is the only good character in Magi.
>>152265885
I'm on you with this. The funny thing is, it's not really fanservice per se: it's the fact that most of the time they don't try to do it as hot as it should, if this makes any sense.
>>152271037
>searching for "messages" in movies
How is being 14 yo in 2017?
>also, Totoro IS for little kids, big news
>>152271606
That isn't unpopular now that Sinbad has gone crazy. And it also isn'tHakuryuu.
>>152269946
Regardless of what you think of Pain, the very least Naruto earned that win for the most part. At least compared to the stuff that transpired in that last clusterfuck of a fight.
>>152271625
Because it feels like a sleazy pretense of modesty, or the opposite where they are trying to give the impression that the creators can be naughty and risky but are actually repressed and neurotic and can't discuss sexuality in a relaxed manner?
Tsunderes are always the best grill
>>152271625
I sorta get what you mean.
Instead of sexy,it comes off as childish.
>>152266067
If you love her so much, buy the PA app
English DB/Z/S dub is superior to subs
I didn't find both Nichijou shows funny and dropped cromartie 5 eps in
I don't even watch anime anymore but still come to /a/ because this place was really fun when I did
Ging was right.
I hate modern CGDCT shows since it's just all saccharines with no real meat to them.

I don't bother getting the best quality when I'm watching seasonal shit.
I do torrent my favorite chinese cartoons though.
Loli is not for sexual and lolicons are disgusting pseudo-pedophiles who should be gassed.
>>152265836
Orange was the worst character of the entirety of code geass. Not even becoming one of us (lolicons) fixed the pile of shit he turned out to be.
Medium breasts > small breasts > big breasts > flat
>>152275598
what is the difference between small breasts and flat breasts?
>>152275629
Small, you can still grab them. Flat, it's just that, flat. Only the nipples are accessible.
>>152275533
This desu. I like my lolis pure and not slutty.
>>152275629
You can't tell where the flat breasts start, small you can.
>>152270876
Avdol wasn't good enough for you?
>>152275692
There you go.
The following are not unpopular opinions, but certain fanbases think they're unpopular:
>Madoka is shit.
Most of /a/ knows that Madoka is shit. The only ones who argue against this are avatarfagging Madoka tripfaggots who post in 24/7 generals while crossposting to MAL and tumblr.
>Hyouka is boring.
Again, no one on /a/ would argue against the fact that Hyouka put them to sleep except for the small (but loud) group of obsessive fans who think they gain points by pretending that Hyouka was good. It's almost a religion to them. They think that if they shitpost about it enough, they'll be reborn as a Japanese high school self-insert straight man surrounded by cute girls.
Again, these are not unpopular opinions. These are popular opinions that a tiny minority of /a/ pretends are unpopular.
>>152271256
I havent read it in years and it was one of my favorites. I stopped reading at the brother rape part cause releases at that time were too slow. How has it turned out since then?
>>152265888
That was the only arc I actually dislike
>>152266968
Hajime no Ippo, Ping Pong, Cross Game
>>152276033
You have awful taste and shouldn't read One Piece. Skypiea is the series. It is the most quintessential arc of all. It encapsulates what the series is all about.
One Piece isn't about fightan or wars or pirate drama. It's about romance. ROMANCE
>>152271680
>implying Miyazaki isn't all about muh message
If it were any other animu director I'd agree with you, but Miyazaki is pretty clear about his politics.
>>152268104
This. If I hate a show its usually because the fanbase is insufferable.
I found Flying Witch to be boring, despite usually enjoying SoL anime.
>>152265836
Code Geass R2 is overall shit especially the fan service overload, ending was great though.
i watch dubs every time over subs if they are available
>>152268364
But Blade of the Immortal is finished anon;_;
>>152276204
\o/ If you say so, its the only arc that bored the shit out of me
code geass and death note are shit, they both felt like edgy teen bait.
Great/ a super appealing art style is one of the main reasons I watch anything. I'm a super big fan of tsunako so I end up liking moe garbage that looks nice.
Not an unpopular opinion but Kyoani is the best studio
Slice of life is a shitty genre.
The End of Evangelion ruined the series.
>>152277538
this
I was very satisfied with the ending of the show
Konosuba is unfunny trash.
>>152265836
>Fairy Tail is a great shonen manga
>Spirited Away is the most overrated Ghibli movie
>Zoro Roronoa is a stupid moralfag
>any gaijin dub that uses different people for adult Goku and child Goku is automatically better than the japanese dub
>Lucky Star is boring
>Little Witch Academia is good animation wasted with shit story and shit characters
>>152277830
You can't be real, the series ending is a lot of things, but satisfying is not one of them, mind you, i'm not saying that it's shit, it's good on it's own way
i love friendship power in anime.
but the one who do it best is kinnikuman
I think Evangelion is overrated shit and it's popularity is a mistake of history
Sword Art Online is a really enjoyable anime. At one point I would have considered it a masterpiece.
>>152278202
id rather have an ending that was unsatisfying than one that was shit
samurai flamenco 8/10
Most English dubs of sacred cow status aren't anywhere near as good as the nostalgiafags make them out to be. Also all of the ebin SO FANNY xD parody dubs like Ghost Stories are unfunny garbage.
>>152266177
>I think "'overrated" is a word retards with no brains use.
"Overrated" is just a word that's been overused. It's like "autism" or "cuck". People used it so often that eventually no one actually knew what it meant anymore. The word can still be used correctly, but most people who use it don't really know what it means. Which is fucking sad, because it's not hard to understand at all.
>>152278340
I like how Asuna is a princess locked in a tower needing to be rescued by her knight. We don't get enough of that.
>>152279646
Ghost Stories dub has gems, you're just a fan of extreme opinions.
>>152266968
There are tons that aren't yaoi bait. You just have yaoi goggles on.
>>152276204
I really like Skypie arc, that's true, but is nothing than canon filler.
i dont like one piece
faulconer OST >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Shitty Jap OST
Re zero was a clever deconstruction of the isekai genre.
Steins;gate would've been better without all the rapey elements.
i like rukako no homo
>>152266140
this is why i hate new generation
>>152266177
overrated is not even synonimus of bad that's what the internet needs to learn
so i guess overrated is aoverrated term
>>152280091
Great for you
>>152277538
its the only good thing about the series.
Evangelion is pretty hard to watch. I really don't see how people can marathon it and be excited to see more.
LWA is a waste of time to watch. Wasted time, wasted talent.
Naruto was a good manga for the first few volumes
Love Live is a genuinely entertaining show and Nico is by far the best character in it
Yuri shipping is a product of deteriorating minds
SNW's art style was fine and suited the show perfectly
Angels Egg is pretentious trash for pretentious trash
Rebuild is better than the TV series
Much of "classic" anime is horrible. The industry has improved since then. What was good then is mediocre today.
If you extend classic to include the 90s it doesn't get that much better.
Madoka was pretty good, rebellion was not
Toradora was shit
The average mecha is a generic soap opera, and fans come off as old ladies praising days of our lives for being a deep and enthralling story
Berserk isn't that good
Space dandy tried too hard
and hidamari sketch fucking sucked
Overlord is just another isekai wish-fulfillment crap.
>>152280685
>Madoka was pretty good, rebellion was not
This desu.
>Yuri shipping is a product of deteriorating minds
God, I like LWA but the threads are just gonna be filled with yurifags.
I want older women or cakes to win.
>>152279781
We'll get something like that in the upcoming Alicization anime.
>>152280958
I want more old woman x old man romance in anime.
People who complain about fujoshit are closet homos who are terrified of their secret being revealed.
>>152280958
i want japan to stop pretending that their cakes are magically more busty and curvaceous than their high school and college girls
>>152265836
if you can fap to your waifu without remorse, she's not really your waifu
>>152280053
While I strongly disagree, this is hardly unpopular opinion
>>152281011
I just want more adults in anime. I'm sick of little girls and the pedophiles who are obsessed with them. I'm sick of stupid high school love stories. I just want someone who's above the age of 25 and actually acts like it.
>>152281079
>literally the most popular opinion
If you can't even get a boner to your waifu you're a homo in deep denial
monogatari series is absolute dogshit. and this isn't my opinion, it's objective fact.
Kaiba is Yuasa's best work.
>>152281079
>>152281122
No, you're only allowed to fap to your waifu if you're imagining doing a consensual gentle sex with her.
>>152281137
Mah nigga
>>152281043
I really love how they are just so angry all the time. Go back to fapping to "you're" waifu and away from shitposting and threads of shows you don't watch.
>>152265862
It was never good, actually.
>>152281101
Loli body types, or body types that just look loli with the right bra and clothing, are actually pretty standard in japan, so long as "loli" just means anything that isn't an 5'10" hourglass white girl with C cups like it always does.
That's like wanting more lantern jawed, blonde men with broad shoulders as MCs.
>>152281079
>>152281122
Those aren't mutually exclusive, you can get a boner but not fap at it, fapping is voluntary.
>>152281206
Yeah, Asians mostly have small boobs.
So it's hilarious how they keep giving their animu characters big ones.
If you want real life big boobs, go to Oktoberfest. Cleavage everywhere.
>>152281137
Stop abusing the word "objective".
>>152281271
and hordes of drunk germans with puke all over them
Berserk will end with a literal power of friendship ending with Guts making a speech about how humanity don't need gods anymore and how they should stand on their own two feet.
Fuck Clannad
>>152281286
Well, can't get everything you want in life.
>>152281271
I went to a 2ch thread talking about that one time and they wondered if girls with small boobs would not even bother wearing the cleavage-revealing dress since it would only induce inferiority.
>>152281360
Also they thought German girls are mostly big-boobed and small-chested girls will act just like in anime with their inferiority complex.
>>152281304
Berserk will end with a half ass timeskip and Miura announcing he is endeavoring in producing idols
>>152281181
>shows you don't watch.
That's what gets me about the "fujoshit" whiners. Not only are they whining about a nonexistent problem, they haven't even seen the shows they're whining about. People who judge a show without having ever seen it bug the shit out of me. They're so completely dependent on other people's opinions that is disgusts me.

Most people are just too retarded to use the term properly. The same way most people are too retarded to understand that criticizing something doesnt mean that you dislike it or think of it as bad.
>>152265836
Rezero is mediocre and Rem is otaku pandering trash of the worst kind
>>152266084
True
>>152281431
>criticizing something doesnt mean that you dislike it or think of it as bad.
One of the things that I hate the most about this board (and this site, and the internet in general) is how people increasingly see things in black and white. If I dislike a thing about a show, then I must hate the whole show, and since I hate a thing you like I'm THE ENEMY. No one seems able to understand nuance. It's incredibly frustrating.
>>152281507

That and it has gotten worse over the years. They don't even mind that they misuse the term as long as they get to complain about nothing. At east they are depriving themselves of good shows.
>>152281587
People in general at this point. You cant possibly dislike an aspect of something. If you do, you dislike the entire thing and no matter how hard I have to twist your words I will prove your opinion WRONG. Makes no goddamn sense. And it really isnt exclusive to film and music anymore, a lot of people actually approach conversations like this IRL. This probably started with someone saying "Hitler killed a lot of people BUT HE ALSO ..." and ever since then people started to exclusively see things in black or white. Something that is bad cant possibly have good aspects to it, or vice versa. Feels more and more like people lose their ability to critically approach discussions.
>>152281733
Not even on Toonami on 4kids as a kid?
>>152281733
Give One Piece a try. I thought I'd hate it (mostly because of the art style), but it ended up being my favorite shounen. At the very least read up to Arlong Park. That's where it gets good in my opinion.

I really think the internet has something to do with the rise of this phenomenon. It didn't used to be like this. Polarization and overreaction seem to be the new norm. The American presidential election is the most obvious proof that something is very wrong. People just went fucking nuts. There's no reason anymore, there's no thought, it's just knee-jerk reactions and tribalism.
But I'm straying off-topic, so I'll just say that K-On is trash and Re:Zero is great.

>>152282265

Of course it does. The internet enables echo chambers. You used to be limited to the people around you and had to accept compromise to get through life. Nowadays you can just sit on tumblr or reddit and ban or downvote people who dont share your opinion and push them out of the community. Hell, shit even works on Twitter and Facebook. Why bother with people who dont share your views if you can just mute them?

here? on /a/? the place that has a weekly raildex thread? Jeez man I don't know.
>>152283940
We also have SnK threads, your point?
I actually watched Boku no Pico for the plot and I liked it.
>>152283989
everything that has a weekly thread is hated by /a/ apart from those that have waifus in said series, and everything that is hated by /a/ is usally good.
I hate K-ON! I watched it, and read the manga, and both were completely dull and not entertaining. None of the girls are cute or attractive at all to me, and the fact that they never played music was annoying. Whenever someone posts something related to that show, I immediately lose all respect for any opinions they might have on other things.
>>152283778
Sorry. I'll shut up. It's just that my frustrations about anime blended with my frustrations with life in general.

chichi is hotter than bulma
Anime is good :3
Not sure if this is really that unpopular but the Conviction Arc was far and away the worst part of Berserk, at least in terms of story and characters.
Kill la Kill is a great anime.
Nakashima is a good writer.
Imaishi is a great director.
Hand Holders will be good.
>>152266167
Agree with this.
>>152266169
Wrong.
>>152282134
I agree, although it's not really an unpopular opinion.
If you really think your "Waifu" is your actual wife, then you should get out more.
Sword art online 1st season was good. Everything else afterwards sucked.
Most of /a/ loves moe shit which is why this board is getting worse and worse. Anons say they hate it; but it's literally a thread made every other day.

>>152281840
Here's some help arguing against that: Essentialism is the problem you're describing. A property or attribute necessarily can't define identity. F/ex anon isn't retarded; anon is or has acted retardedly. In short, this misapplication of identity is the scourge of our time and I wish us all luck and skill in dispelling this fallacy. Existence precedes essence - reality before ideology.
I hate 99% of action anime with a male protagonist. I"m fine with any other genre having a male MC though.
Almost all Josei anime are shit, and i especially dislike theoverratedones like Rakugo, Chihayafuru or Honey and clover.

In my opinion, you can't binge Evangelion. It's too much, man. I'd say 2-3 episodes at a time works.
Also even though I'm a fan of the show, I will admit that there isn't much connecting each episode to the last one, except at the last two (not a fan of the oridge ending. EoE brought it all together)

I watched one a day to finish it. It felt like a chore. There were so few parts and episodes that I enjoyed. It's good but not to the point of freaking out over but I won't deny every one should watch it at least once.
>>152281304
There really isn't a good way for Berserk to end without it being a total ass-pull. Because of the in-universe rules, Guts can't do shit against the Godhand.
part 6 is the best part of JoJo
>>152285701
don't forget that guts was an absolute edgelord in the first few chapters. Conviction Arc is bad, but Black Swordsman has some cringy shit

>>152292148
I wouldn't say it's technological advancements. Anime has been quickly and cheaply produced ever since Osamu Tezuka started making it.
>>152295919
Because shit like sol or moe shows I don't need to give much attention to and I can read subtitles faster than the characters talk so I'm just making efficient use of my time.
I enjoyed Kizumonogatari I and II and look forward to 3, enough so that I would even consider driving to a theater to see it.
>>152295401
>>152295919
I mostly watch anime as a social activity with friends. If I'm watching anime at home alone, there's a 90% chance of it being something I've already seen and know what happens, so I'm not missing anything by multitasking.
I have no problem with Kayo getting married to someone else in Erased. I was more upset that she didn't have a job as a social worker and helped other abused kids like her.
Panty and Stocking should not have a second season.

>>152266111

harem/school/moe anime make me sick and should fucking stop before they kill the industry
naruto is a good show
Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches is perfectly fine after the point where it "should" have ended and some of the most enjoyable stuff (i.e. the Odagiri teasing and Tamaki being a bro) happened after that point. Or it was until the most recent "biding our time until graduation OH NO ANOTHER MEMORY WIPE" twist. Not so much that it's kind of dull but because Shiraishi is a garbage character and went from a nice love interest to shit due to having literally no character beyond smiling at Yamada.

Miyazaki is a hack and his only good film is totoro
I dont think the gag where someone beats up the MC for accidentally peeking or slipping on a girl is funny, in fact it pisses me off since not only is it cheap comedy banking on shitty shock and slapstick, but because when the character is not deserving of the punishment he receives it makes the other character come off as a legit terrible person who can get away with anything and will never face any consequences for their actions
I will always watch a dub so long as the voice acting is tolerable and fits
most subs are garbage for flat out refusing to translate shit like "convenience store" or "rice ball". if your subs need a million different TL notes and its not to explain something about the culture like folklore and shit then its shit.I will never watch GuP because the subs keep making every other word german

If anything it needed two cours, it was rushed as is and would've benefited hugely from more time to develop the cast and include more SoL. It does need a movie at some point though, for the sake of some great animation.
>>152265885
I agree

Are you one of those people who complain when a series "looks old"?
the monogatari series is boring. its all just dialouge. maybe i would enjoy it if it were a novel or something but as an anime it just lacks interest
Not sure if it was said cause Im on mobile. But Berserk 2016 wasn't that badly animated. It's bad but not as bad as people scream it to be.

>>152308070
different anon here. i just dont like the art at all. like its by kishimoto's assistant or something? its clear hes a pleb. that being said i hope for all our sakes it gets better. same with the manga. right now it only covered the boruto movie so im curious to where it will go in the future
i also do not like sarada's design by the new mangaka.
>>152307991
I love to hate the naruto anime. As of late the "filler" has actually been very good quality. The anime did wonders it would seem for the creative team I feel like. I make no quams about the plot being bad and mishandled and the fact that they shoe horned a creation myth in order to get some alien ninja goddess as the final bad guy was handled so bad it was to the point of being hilarious especially since it pushed Madara off to the side even the entire war was his doing.
But at the end of the day the War arc itself was solid even the fight with Kaguya had some good moments. I also enjoy the cast of characters and the humor in the series in general. Its fun to open a bottle of whiskey and see whats going on this week in naruto.
>>152308129
Legend of Galactic Heroes is right-wing garbage.
>>152300772
I can agree absolutely with this
I liked spirited away and hotaru no haka when I was newer to anime, but I can't finish mononoke no matter how hard I try. Been at it for like 6 months now, shits just so incredibly boring. It really puts me off of watching other Ghibli stuff.
>>152308088
I agree that Boruto is a fag. As for the pairings and character design, I like them.
To each their own, though I'm definitely in the minority (on /a/, at least).
Sakura Saber is my favorite Saber
>>152308122
Written by Ukyō Kodachi, drawn by Mikio Ikemoto. I don't recognize the names, but I'd assume they had some sort of connection with Kishimoto.
>>152308177
The new characters look pretty dumb, especially Boruto, and a lot of the pairings don't make any sense and fell random. I think the worst offender is Sai/Ino, doesn't make sense to me and it sucks that they just stuck Ino with discount Sasuke.
>>152304031
>why would I waste space to watch something I would delete right away
The fuck am I reading
>>152308273
There are pairings that make sense, though...Naruto and Hinata, Sasuke and Sakura, Shikamaru and Temari, and so on. The majority make sense, actually.
For Sai and Ino...I like it. I think they're cute together, and they're both trash characters, so it works.
>>152307991
that's just the movie though except for some of the first chapter of Boruto.
>>152308367

A whole lot of time wasted for nothing, and hard disc space temporarily filled.
>>152304587
It had no idea how to develop the main characters without inserting laughably absurd drama and "reasons". What makes you think that having two cours would have helped anything?
>>152308410
But you talk as in having some hdd space filled for the short time you watch it before dropping would affect you in some way. I don't understand.
>>152308370
Naruto and Hinata, Sasuke and Sakura, Shikamaru and Temari are all a given, but most of the other pairings just feel like Kishi didn't know what to do with them so he just picked names from a hat.
>Beserk is only worth reading up to Golden Age.
>Puck is the only character worth a damn and Guts is just uninteresting
>Kill La Kill goes downhill in the second half

I think that was Kishi's entire "plan" (note: plan means keikaku) for the whole series.

There is nothing wrong with referring to anime as 'cartoons'.
>>152266845
It would be better if it ended with the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai but Frieza saga also works.
>>152269484
I think both of these things are excelent.
>>152265836
Thic Bulma is best Bulma
>>152265836
Adult males who watch magical girl shows are disgusting and creepy.
Dubs > subs
/a/ has terrible taste in animu and mango
>>152266962
Explain
Anime is not real
Overly sexualised/ridiculously "cute" female characters design is disgusting, especially when the characters are children.
>>152311171
Only retards would disagree with this.
Minorin is the only character I watched so far that drops from best girl to absolute horseshit as show progresses and deserves to lose at the end of Toradora.
>>152310368
>Streaming > downloading.
Except for this, you're pretty much right.
>>152265836
I choose to never watch jojos bizzare adventure because I think it's overrated.
>>152281312
no fuck you
Rwby is anime
>>152281304
>>152294142
nah, godhand will fucking win and that will be that.
Evangelion is the greatest anime ever to grace this godawful planet
senseless ecchi and haremshit need to die this instant
also cell is the best villain
Hestia best girl
Fuck Rem
Fuck Emila
Fuck Neko
Fuck Aki
Fuck everyone else except Hestia
SoL anime and the people who enjoy it and only it should be gassed
>>152265836
Rem is not the best girl.

Oshii is a talentless fuck who never made a good original show.
I like the Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle manga.
FMAB is shallow, hammy, and has the most poorly-timed "comedy" I've ever seen.
HxH 2011 is better than 1999, which melodramatizes events and characters that don't need it (though they're both good overall). Not an unpopular opinion generally, but unpopular on /a/.
High school SOL has been run into the ground and was never that interesting a genre to begin with.
Kyoani's style of drawing girls looks terrible.

Diebuster is obsessively tied to its own themes while Gunbuster is considerably less focused on that stuff.
If you were to say what Gunbuster was about you would probably have to say: being away from home and coming back home after a long time. That's why the first episode is a comical portrayal of average school girl life, but they pilot robots. That's why in the second episode we see the girls having a sleep-over, except its in a spaceship hangar. That's why we have the time dilation and age discrepancies. Things we know and are familiar with have passed through time and they're different now, as an audience and for the characters.
But not everything perfectly syncs with this theme as it does in Diebuster. The "hard work and guts" stuff in Gunbuster services a sports parody but it doesn't really go anywhere with it, for example. A lot of people rag on Diebuster because it has a very odd-looking kamikaze earth finale, but it's only there because the creators are (maybe ridiculously) exacerbating the themes. Gunbuster's doesn't really do that in its final episode conflict, except maybe the tenuous idea that the degeneracy generator is meant to symbolise gradual decay as in aging.
Diebuster is about accepting what you are and your natural conditioning. Unlike Gunbuster it does this through a sports motif (the tennis racket Tycho's robot uses, the Tokyo Dome in the final episode, the point-scoring obsession of the Topless), tying restless sportsman-like ambition to self-destructive impulses, with the references to kamikaze attacks in the later episodes.
The constant reference to aging, Diebuster actually mocking itself for being a childish robot vs monster anime, also services this. Although the solidity of this is arguable, they even try and tie the space monsters into this core theme. I think it's implied that they're Topless that have refused to bow out and instead have becoming immense space-worm creatures? Right? Maybe I'm wrong
Emilia > Rem.
>>152265836
I think anime has gotten worst over time.

Fuck off, Kyle.

I never fapped to cartoons or mangas so far and I find the 3DPD meme the pinacle of retardation. I admit that some scenes and character are quite arousing, though.
Naruto is a good/entertaining anime, skip the fillers tho. I love the art style very much also. The best looking anime females i have seen are from naruto.
>>152267713
I always streams the shows that are airing except the ones not licensed to my region. I also do it to older shows that I don't bother downloading like Chihayafuru and Hunter x Hunter. That said, I still torrent a lot, especially old stuff like Yamato and Rayearth.
>>152307991
why does every character have some shit smeared in their eyes?
>>152321082
>>152320653
like what is this shit? do you even know what a pupil is? do you think it's just some black color in the middle of your eye that could just have any form? virtually every picture posted from naruto includes someone staring at someone else with his weird eyes. Is this a fetish?
>>152321218
>Imma beat yo ass
>Nah, imma beat yo ass cuz I got these weird as eyes because hacks
>Oh shit no! Thank goodness I got a pair absurd looking eyes as well
>Nice try but my eyes can get even senseless
>>152284142
don't give up anon
>>152291651Kiki is better.
I think Near was cooler than L from death note
and that Kakumeiki Valverave was great
>>152310368
>Kara no kyoukai was pretentious trash.
I found the little claymations at the begining of each ova more interesting than the show itself.
>>152314860
How can you tell if something's overrated without watching it, though?
>>152310136
this is objectively true, but I can also count the number of good dubs I've seen on one hand
>>152266167
THANK.
YOU.
ANON.

Why aren't you watching the Premier League?
Why aren't you following /a/ntonio conte's chelse/a/?
The 60s and 70s were the golden age of manga. It all went downhill from there.
>>152300377
jeez, projecting much?
The One Punch Man manga needs to get back to adapting the webcomic. This filler arc is weak compared with the original arcs, and even most of the one-shots. If the second season of the anime chooses to adapt it, this may kill the series.
>>152265836
I prefer dubs because all nips sound the same.
>>152265862
One Piece was never good.
>>152265862
i think it was more until timeskip that one piece stopped being good
>>152266167
i think time travel was handled well but the characters were rather flat
>>152266259
Unpopular but true
One Piece is good and Eiichiro Oda is a great story teller
>>152314752
There is no difference.It's like wearing gloves or mittens, when its cold. Both get the job done.
>>152282396
Fuck off Madoka faggot. Got back to your generals.
Kaworu and Shinji should've had a much more ambiguous relationship. Anno dialed the homo up to 11 for the third movie and it kind of marred the series.
