/a/ memes you fell for

>>157507127
Only meme you fell for is being a contrarianfag.

>>157507169
Aria isn't even nearly the best of what the genre has to offer. There's plenty to it that's unique and interesting but it's also a huge magnet for the pseudo intellectual "patrician" taste anime fan who's actually embarrassed of anime. The kind that loves shows that they can show to normalfags without them being disgusted and can claim "I like anime but NOT that kind of anime!"

>>157507367
I don't think Aria is very normalfag friendly, if you showed this to anyone they will most likely think you are weird.

>>157507367
What are you even trying to say. You started a shit thread. And it has nothing to do with your opinion.

>>157507367
projection: the post

>>157507594
That's a different anon expressing a valid opinion regarding the very common misconception that Aria is somehow deep making it superior to other SoL.
I started the thread to warn others from potential disappointment since it seems some memes are taken too seriously by some, to the extent of being called a contrarian for expressing different opinions from the hive mind.

>>157507367
Wrong. Aria is weird. Shows about cute girls doing nothing are weird. It's not meant to be watched with other people. It's meant to be watched by frustrated young men who are suffering the burdens of working adulthood without the benefits.

>>157507794
>but it's valid other people are saying X
Other people aren't here. You're just talking to yourself.

>>157507567
It's an acquired taste for sure like watching old films or foreign films, a lot of people won't be into it. They certainly wouldn't think you a seedy otaku pedophile though like they might if you showed them superior works of the genre like Ichigo Mashimaro or K-On!

>>157507828
Oh shit I got busted, what I'm going to do with all these proxies?

>>157507594
I didn't start his thread.

>>157507127
Aria is just different. You don't watch it to think, feel emotions, or even empathize. It's just relaxing, but at the expense of being interesting.
If you want to be interested, you read the manga instead.

>>157507794
Aria's not deep, but it is more patrician than other SoL because of the quality and relative subtlety of its storytelling.

>>157507878
K-On is fucking Disney tier, you can show it to your Christian grandmother and in the worst case scenario they will think you are immature for watching cartoons but is totally harmless.
Ichigo will label you as a pedophile for the rest of your life though.

>>157507988
You should really try watching Akage no Anne. It's much better in every sense with regards to the factors you are describing.

Why the fuck are these furfags still allowed to spread their cancer in this board after the anime finished?

>>157508091
Don't kid yourself, Shitamari Scat isn't even a good example of SoL.

What is Toradora?

>>157508100
One show literally showed in Disney channel in various countries, the other is a late night anime for Japanese men.
Who is being contrarian now?

>>157508239
Not him but it's definitely better than Aria. Highly creative and thoughtful direction. At least in the earlier seasons.

>>157508283
>Toradora is the greatest love story ever told

>>157508294
Nobody is being contrarian? I am just telling you what most normal people would think of a grown man watching a show about little girls being cute and not much else.

>>157508378
They aren't that little

>>157507988
>>157508061
Mamoru Oshii talk about Anne:
"His (Takahata's) other works aren't my cup of tea to start with. He is very particular about descriptions, but to me, they all look quibbling. But in truth, as a director, I was most influenced not by Conan, but by Anne of Green Gables. I was astounded by how broad the range of direction can be. Because, there was no story. It's just washing dishes, or watching a carriage go by. And it's a long (scene). But, this has tremendous power. In that sense, my eyes were opened."

>>157508447
That isn't the issue. You point to Disney like it's proof it isn't perverse but I'm not arguing it is to begin with. They show feet on kids TV too, that doesn't suddenly remove the fact that there are hordes of fetishists using it as wank material. You understand that many people think someone who slept with a 17 year old is a pedophile right?

>>157508497
>Anne of Green Gables
I've been tempted to fall for this meme, anyone recommends it?

>>157508061
>Akage no Anne
Poorly translated novels do not count, it's on the same level as Miyazaki's works. Don't bring it up in this thread please.

>>157508699
It's not perverse if the fetishists keep to themselves and aren't vocal like bronies or other blatant pedophiles, as far as I know K-ON in the west had a good reception and nobody was branded a perverse pedophile for liking it.

>>157507127
>Panty and Stocking is funny

>>157508747
>it's on the same level as Miyazaki's works
I'm not sure if this is a good or bad thing from the context of your post.

>>157508747
It isn't poorly translated in any sense. It's a 1:1 adaptation. Probably one of the most faithful I have ever seen in anime. Given that comment I doubt you've ever watched it.

>>157508888

>>157508945
I'm not doing that though, I'm just saying that anime as a staple of iconic animation became a meme since at least the Shirobako threads.

I can understand if there are people who does not like Aria - it's too optimistic for some people take seriously

But what's up with this nonsensical discussion comparing to random literary works and cartoons which follows an entirely different set of cultures?

Just drop the show if you don't like it. Aria may not cater to some but no one can say that it was ever bad

>>157509048
It became more commonly mentioned on /a/ after the BD rip was subbed. It's not really anything to do with Shirobako. There's always been a small following of WMT enthusiasts.

The biggest prank they ever pulled:
"It can't be translated' and his little sister: "It's funny in Japanese!"

An anon raised the point about Hidamari Sketch being a better SoL.

In a sense this is true. Hidamari Sketch simply shows the daily school lives of Yuno and her housemates, and is a pure slice of life. Aria's portrayals of the undines' daily activities aren't so much a focus by themselves, but are more a vehicle for the author's explicit iyashikei preaching. It therefore stands to reason that Hidamari Sketch is a better "pinnacle" of SoL than Aria.

As to which are actually better anime in a straight comparison, I'd say both are different enough to be incomparable, but if forced to make a rough estimate, they're about equal.

Is there an SoL comparable to Minami-ke, which is really just about every day life without any gimmicks?

>>157509494
Good thing neo-/a/ figured out early what a pile of trash this was, so we no longer have as many threads as we used to

>>157507127
OP, the Ariafags here have gone through this sort of baiting a lot back when the daily Aria threads got a lot of heat at around ~2010. You're not going to get the sort of ragestorm you want out of us.

>SoL in general

>>157509642
What do you consider gimmicks? Is being part of a certain club together a gimmick? What about going to an art school? What about having a period setting?

>>157509642

I'm just going to assume you don't know what literal means.

>>157509768
>>/a/ used to have minami ke and Azumanga in higher regard than Aria, I don't know what happened.
That was never the case, so what happened was that you probably have brain damage.

>>157509650
It wasn't that bad. It had interesting dialogue and directing. It was fun. Wish it had a VN though. Prefer these type of stories in VN format

>>157509802
I'm going to have to assume you haven't read the book. Nothing was changed besides the language. All the same lines of dialog are there with all the same events. Nothing added, or cut.

>>157509902
>nothing was changes aside from
If your argument hangs on that. You don't have an argument.

>>157509754
Silver Spoon's gimmick is farm school, Yuru Yuri is the Amusement Club, Aria is Neo Venezia. Minami-ke is just normal life.

/a/ tricked me twice and I'm still assblasted

>>157509720
Indeed, all SOL is trash. Arguing which ones are less trash is stupid and pointless.
Also everyone knows Nichijou is the best.

Fucking Mushishi. So fucking trite.

>>157509964
I don't think "gimmick" in the way you're using it here is a bad thing, if properly focused on rather than used as a cheap audience bait without substance.

For instance you raised Silver Spoon; the author put across what life in the farms was really like, which was great. If that's what a gimmick is, we could do with more of it.

>>157510372
90%+ of the threads on the catalog are daily threads

>>157510271

I like character and relationship growth and it seems to me that Mushishi has pretty much neither. Its a series of oneshots of various quality, and nothing that really stands out. It's an /a/ favorite though. I think its a favorite of MAL too iirc.

>>157510372
>implying daily Aria threads were even close to as bad as the 24/7 K-ON general at the time

>>157510552
Watch episode 1 and see if its setting and episodic nature is to your taste. It's very good at what it sets out to do, so the question is not its quality but whether its style is up your alley.

>>157510552
I think it does, personally. Like this anon says >>157510587 there's no overarching plot, and it's more of a collection of stories. All the stories are interesting, and it's told in a very relaxing way.

>>157510536
So you actually don't have any argument to make to defend your claim of it being "poorly translated"? I suppose my assumption was indeed correct then.

>>157510587
The centrepiece of Mushishi is its world, and the pseudo-live creatures that are the show's namesake. It never pretended to be a show focused on any characters (other than Gin as the audience's observer). Not sure why you'd expect that.

>>157510034
That's just blatant bait, you should have at least tried with the rebuilds or other well known memes with more arguments against like code geass or TTGL

The world isn't that good though (doesn't leave you with much to consider), and desu I don't think I've ever seen a "world centered" show that is good. But it might just be a matter of individual taste, clearly Mushishi is very loved.

MAY YOUR SOUL BURN IN HELL AND ALL YOUR OFFSPRINGS DIE OF TB

>>157507127
It is though.

Or, rather, Origination is. Nothing else goes even close, in terms of pure SoL.

>>157510260
You have to watch it. It's the whole point of the episode, and the whole point of the series.

>>157511021
It's only loved by the MAL crowd which praise it for its "atmosphere" but in fact they are just hardcore weeaboos who love it for being too Japanese

>>157511021
Indeed, it boils down to what the audience is looking for in their entertainment, and there's no denying that Mushishi is pretty niche in that sense. I'm personally a sucker for fantasy worlds with alien natural systems, and therefore really loved Mushishi's exploration of just such a thing and its relationship with the actual people in fantasy medieval Japan.

>>157511107
I'm still curious how many people funded the LWA OVA which in turn indirectly led to the new anime which in turn is a fucking blunder, how fucking pathetic folks.

But since it's on my mind now I think I'll put it on the HDD.

It was a classic case of overblown hype, though with the hype at stratospheric levels it was inevitable.

The TV series has meandered at times with the plot, and its directing in most episodes has been very unfocused, but is otherwise very solid and a creative highlight of the season. It's still very much a good anime-in-progress at this stage IMO.

Fuck you guys. The presence of more story and character development doesn't make the execution of the manga not amateur, overly forceful and juvenile as fuck.

Akari embodies ARIA's deeper meanings:

- Stay positive and always smile and your positivity will be infectious, spreading to others and, in many cases, ensure they return the favor some day.
ARIA is a lesson on how to live and enjoy life in a rotten world. Neo Venezia only seems like a paradise because it's illustrated through Akari's rose-tinted eyes.

I've been watching anime since the mid-eighties. I saw Macross before Robotech finished airing here. I had 4th generation bootleg betamax tapes of Armor Hunter Mellowlink. I watched every Brave series as they aired. I lived in Yokohama for ten years and waited IN QUEUE for the laserdisc release of the original To Terra. I've had lunch with Kunihiko Ikuhara and smoked a cigarette with Watanabe after a Seat Belts show. I've done it all. I've seen it all. I am a qualified expert.

Maid Dragon is THE greatest anime I have ever seen. Bar none. This is where the medium has been going since day one. From the very first cel, it was all leading to Maid Dragon.

A metaphor for the immigrant experience covering humanistic and social themes such as systematic sexism, family, loneliness, individuality, alienation, accepting and understanding others, adapting to society, appreciating the little moments in life, capturing the shortsightedness and transience of human existence and fitting in with society's expectations, this show will go down in history. It will change anime in a way not seen since Shogoki took her first steps in NGE.

Do I watch or read Aria, which one is better?

>>157515106
>>157515236
You haven't seen much seasonal anime if you can't see the enormous influence K-ON has had in recent anime, particularly of the SoL genre.

>>157515236
t. Butthurt moefag

>>157515421
Neither, there are some good erotic doujins though.

>>157515421
Watch it first, then read it while listening to the now familiar and soothing OST(s). It's also better this way because the manga has some content the anime doesn't, so some of the manga content will still be fresh to you even after watching the anime.

>>157515334
Is this pasta?

>>157515436
This is true. K-ON started a trend of "High school girls do X activity, the SoL." This has nothing to do with the word "moe," however.

>>157515334
KyoAni haters come up with the best pasta

>>157515539
The last paragraph was clearly not written by a KyoAni hater, as it demonstrates that whoever wrote it actually watched and understood the entire anime since that last paragraph unironically describes Maid Dragon quite accurately.

I acknowledge your intentional irony. I think you thought it was funnier than it actually was, though.

>>157515584
The first episode of Aria is the only good one until origination so that is pretty deceiving.

OMK. Drop it at THAT page and never gonna read it again. People say it becomes better but I think it's a cop out.

Is the second episode of the first YKK OVA a contender for best single episode of anime ever? Shame there's no BD transfer although it may have been done digitally anyways.

>>157517801
>What are the two beach episodes the 1st season of K-On had, along with a joke of Mio's boobs being big in the first one

>>157510260
The episode is about that. Watch it, it delivers

>212 replies
Worth reading though or nah?

While we're at it though, although I've watched Aria almost 3 times, I've never really been able to get into the manga much.
It's probably because I'm so used to the voice acting and soundtrack at this point, but it just feels like it doesn't work with them. I read a chapter every now and then, but I can never enjoy them like I enjoy watching an epsiode of the anime.

>>157521378
So, hypothetically speaking, if I had children, I'd be sexualizing them every time I took them to the beach in their bathing suits? Because that's essentially what you're saying. You're essentially saying that "it had them in bathing suits" = "it sexualized them."
Also, hypothetically speaking, say my daughter asked me to buy a specific brand of bra for her. I ask a lady at the store to find me that brand, she asks what size my daughter wears, I say, "D." Are you saying I'm sexualizing my daughter by answering her question? Because that's what you're essentially saying... you're saying that mentioning her breast size is sexualizing her.

>>157507127
>not reading the manga to the anime's OST

The anime has poor production values, doesn't do some of the best stories, and the director erased basically all of Akari's and Akatsuki's relationship

Good.

>anime has poor production values
Only in animation but all the budget went to soundtrack and voice acting.

>>157520992
You did well, one of the few /a/ memes I truly regret falling for.

>>157521645
I'll give you the first point, even though I'd argue two beach episodes in one season is indicative of fanservice, but I think they specifically make a joke about Mio's boobs WHILE zooming in on them, so I feel like Kyoani probably knew what they were doing with that. Either way, I'm probably just biased because two beach episodes in one 13 episode season seems odd to me, one before and one after Azusa becomes part of the band.

>>157521645
It's sexualization if it's not relevant to the plot progression or character development, which in the case of those episodes were exactly like that, just played for the fan service.

On a side note, why do threads that attempt to shit on Aria in some aspect seem to be started by people who want to compare it to NNB? Maybe it's just me having a selective memory but 9/10 times it's started from some autist who's first decent SoL was NNB.

>On a side note, why do threads that attempt to shit on Aria in some aspect seem to be started by people who want to compare it to NNB?
Because those two anime are widely considered the peak of iyashikei anime. It's natural for them to be compared to one another.

>>157522178
>tfw when real Venice is full of fucking Italians

>>157522220
NNB does have some fantastic scenery porn. For it to be literally 10/10 visually, though, it would have to lack the occasional QUALITY that it did, in fact, possess, and it would have to have KyoAni-level animation which, well, nobody has.
tl;dr: For it to be 10/10 visually KyoAni would have had to do it.

>>157522329
Well, not 10/10, that's Nichijou. But I couldn't find any QUALITY, and each frame had a lot of detail and care put into it. The coloring was most impressive.
In any case it was much better than average and much better than I was expecting.

Now stop being a plebeian and learn italian or spanish.

>>157522429
>not 10/10, that's Nichijou
Correct. Nichijou is literally the most well-animated anime series in history.
Nichijou is the golden standard for anime series animation and Hyouka is the golden standard for anime series single frame background detail.

>>157522031
By that you mean when you reached adulthood you ran out of things to watch so you dropped your standards. I watched them side-by-side as an adult and CCS is far superior.

>>157509494

I have never seen a show so far up its own ass before.

Very good series but K-On or Azumanga are superior.
Flying witch is definitely higher than Tamayura or GJ-Bu (mediocre shows).

Nichijou and Minami-ke are more Comedy than Slice of life. Minami-ke is very good.
Yama no Susume is more Sports than Slice of life. Also it's one of the best.

>>157511903

NNB is great I'll give you that.

But Aria is equal if not better.

GochiUsa, along with KinMosa, is one of the worst SoLs ever made, focusing almost entirely on cuteness with literally no other substance whatsoever.

>>157537423
