As much as I hate the series the openings are really good

>>161283673
Air was great?

Fucking terrible show. It tried being edgy near the ending and made almost no sense, and the main girl just up and died for no reason. Good opening tho

>>161283705
The show sold well an was popular, but was absolute trash.
But the opening is a real classic and was a mainstay in anime community for a long time.
Even a couple of years ago it got a spot in a top 50 opening themes vote or something if I remembe correctly.

The ur example

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJcuDgVYjgI

>>161283771
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjUtmbZt8zc

Whoops forgot this

>>161283814
The show was so bad I had to drop watching it every week.

>>161283814
SO EVERYTHING THAT MAKES ME WHORE

>>161283782
But Air was great? Just because it's popular doesn't mean it was trash.

>>161283940
No it was bad. I like plenty of popular anime, that isn't why I dislike it. The plot is incomprehensible and the show is boring. It's not as offensive as Kanon but it's bad.

>>161281142
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aUfGClzhdI
This deserved to be the OVA OP, not the TV one.

>>161283946
>lol
Fuck off.

>>161283998
>The plot is incomprehensible and the show is boring
I respect you and your opinion but I find this statement to be contradictory. So you found the anime to be too complex basically? Then how could it be boring at the same time?

>>161283795
>Dragon Ball GT
>ur example
Have you never seen any anime more than 20 years old, or what? Even JUST WILD BEAT is an older example than that.

>>161284008
I'm gonna let this slide just because it's a good opening even though I really liked the TV show and found it way more enjoyable than the OVA.
On that note, the OVA opening is also pretty good, so here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1Rcz4vQq-U
(sorry couldn't find a good version)

>>161284192
I don't see how that's contradictory. And you don't need to understand something to find it enjoyable either. But Air is just things happening and in a boring way.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YewO8J1eb1E
Objectively this

>>161281142
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYZfeY8Vg0E

>>161284314
>Even JUST WILD BEAT
But Gundam Wing was one of the best Gundam series.

>>161284356
But you did say you didn't comprehend what was happening right? How can you find something boring that you don't comprehend? Wouldn't you be constantly busy trying to figure out what's happening on-screen preventing you from being bored?

>>161284534
I don't remember the details, but wasn't it just a guy running around in a town and meeting little girls? I could comprehend that. The problem is that it isn't connected. It's just the guy talking about boring stuff with girls. And no overarching plot that I could see. So all we got was isolated, boring scenes.

>>161284637
Then why did you say it was incomprehensible? What part of it was? And there was an overarching plot as far as I can tell.

>>161283588
>kyousougiga

dont hurt me like this

it had every reason to be good but was just mediocre

>>161284815
At least we'll always have the OP

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DwbXmr70C0

>>161284788
The plot you baka. The scenes can be understood, but it just jumps between little girls so the overarching story makes no sense, and it's hard to tell if it's actually there at all.

>>161284887
I don't even get how they fucked up so bad. The OP is well directed and fells really emotional - yet the show was show boring.

>>161285012
I'd actually forgot about it til I found the OP again a couple months back, I remember really liking it but nothing special happened

What a huge disappointment. BAMBINA

What about the plot was incomprehensible?

I don't think I could have possibly watched it without /a/. You could seriously end up with brain aneurysm if you marathoned it by yourself.

Even if the OP was unbearable screeching it would still be better than the show.

>>161286324
I watched it after it aired and it really was a herculean task. It got to the point where I had to finish since I had already wasted time watching most of it. The only thing I physically couldnt finish was familiar of zero because Louise was THAT much of an insufferable bitch.

>>161283588
Every show you listed was actually good though.

>>161286418
kek, I hear the sequel or whatever the fuck it was, called Chaos;Child was just as bad.

>>161286640
NEVER. FORGET.

>>161285012
The original shorts that aired like a year or two before the actual series were great, but once they ran out of that it just became plodding, directionless tedium.

>>161286610
Ah yes, the inevitable lose-lose scenario where the show becomes undroppable no matter how bad it is because you're too far into it. Blind waifuless Shoe ending still makes me angry.

But it was. I'm re-watching it now with nostalgia goggles off. People will always say it's bad because of the fan base and sales anyway.

>>161284891

What a fucking dud of a series, how do you fuck that up?

>>161287110

Not him, but this is retarded logic in this context, because the large majority of even One Piece fans think the anime is shit.

The anime was always bad. It has a retarded artstyle and is extremely budget tier. These are obviously standard Toei practices. But lets not pretend there was a difference pre- and post Timeskip.

>>161283588
All these look really good. Were they really shit?

>>161285472
>Interesting premise using Tarot cards and magical girl elements
>Fire, Moonlight, Ice, and Jew (Serious) as the elements
>Despair out the ass, but not trying to be philosophical like Madoka. People die, and it's unfortunate.
>What could go wrong? Everything went wrong.

It had such a good premise and some awesome monsters, but it was just mediocre. Werewolf was the best girl, shame she stopped being a bloodthirsty nudist.

>>161287262
I dropped this pretty recently. Why do all Wit Studio shows end up with such shitty directors?

>>161287218
I'm talking about the series in general.
Earlier episodes didn't have QUALITY or pacing issues. Later episodes even suffer from lazy voice acting. Manga fans now even say you can watch the anime till the time skip then read the manga or just read all of it.

>>161287453
Okay. People really hate One Piece's art style. The budget wasn't terrible. There was a huge difference pre and post time skip. It's unwatchable now.

>>161287588
>Eureka Seven, except not shit while also not being good
Awesome monster designs. Very simple, but definitely cool.

>>161287588
I don't think I'm ever going to get over how good this could have been if the writers had hired an editor or something to impose some kind of proper structure on their incomprehensible gibberish.

>>161287462
Gatchaman for one was bad in my opinion for the fact that season 2 is a copy of season 1 with a new character

Flamenco started off really enjoyable to me as it's just some guy trying to be a hero dressing up and stopping crime, then it went onto straight up power rangers with monster of the week trope

Problem children, nothing really happened, they went to another world, met a town, won a game, the series ended with a bigger world that wasn't explained that well

Kyousougiga, sadly it just wasn't that good a series but the OP is one of my favorites

Maria Nikki, is just a pretty bad as a survival horror

Akame ga kill is an edgy show which had some nice moments but it was pretty bland in my opinion and the ending was pretty disappointing.

The current berserk anime is the current berserk anime.

>>161287711
this OP is boring as fuck though

>>161287675
Eureka Seven was good until it went to shit. I think it balances out to average. The sequel was truly horrendous all the way through though.

>>161287601
It was made in '99. It didnt have the highest budget but it wasn't low quality. Sorry for saying that when you called it retarded. It's western inspired artstyle is not for everyone.

>>161287588
I wanted to like this so much. It had interesting characters, amazing world building, great premise. Too bad the story was pretty much unintelligible in the second half.

Also RIP Kawashima Michiyuki, life can be so fucking unfair.

I will, anon. I've watched and enjoyed both since they are my favorite Jump titles. One Piece was worth watching pre time skip and had better animation. I watched '99 HxH in 2009 or 2010. The animation looked older than 99 for sure.

No, I'm not but it's fine. Not everyone has to like the art style. The animation is a bit dated but not too bad. This is pretty objective actually but it's fine. I've only ever complained about the animation as the series went on which is understandable for most long shonen series. It's animation was never terrible in the beginning. It was more of the childlike art style that got people.

>>161288926
>the animation is a bit dated

>one of he best fighter of the school got defeated in the final
>"Let's not send her to the main tournament, she got defeated that means she's shit"
Only thing I truly dislike from the show. She's still arguably the second strongest in the school, but instead of putting her in the team, they choose somebody else.

>>161300341
You don't want her losing twice. That's just super bad rep, they need money for the school.

Valvrave is a great anime though.

OP was really great. Show wasn't bad but wasted quite a lot of potential and was way too short

because it was a great anime, just like each and every one of Okamoto's works

>>161299690
The show was amazing so to say the OP is better is quite the compliment
S2 OP is better, listen to that one

>>161304014
No, it wasn't a compliment.
