I feel edgy saying this, but Evangelion…It's definitely one of the greatest anime ever created and it's one of my favorites, but if I see one more grade-school interpretation of it I'ma flip. It's not that deep and it's pretty evident to everyone who watched it that Shinji had mental issues. I also think that a lot of people are into it solely because of the Shinji/Kaworu thing.

>>8216It wasn't a matter of looking "too close to actual Japanese" at all. Because it was rotoscoped, there wasn't enough detail for them to be as "attractive" as they would be if it was live-action, but there was also too much focus on the "less attractive" details of the human form for them to be "idealistically attractive" like your typical anime characters.
I loved the show and even I realize this.
Personally, I think it had its moments of extreme beauty (pic related), and though I do understand the gripes, I really don't see what the big deal is. Anime fans are just plebs when it comes to art style, it seems.
No. 8330
>>8267A lot of newfags won't watch anything from before the 2000s because it "looks old." Which is unfortunate. I'm not a nostalgiafag or anything but there's a ton of quality anime/movies from the 90s and back that people just kind of refuse to watch because of the style.
I mean, say what you want about Eva, but there are people who prefer/only watch the Rebuilds because of the newer art. The first two movies pretty much abridge the series so you get the plot but in that abridging you lose a lot of the details that make NGE so great. And that's just one thing of course.

Course, I like new animation aswell. But there is some sort of magic old anime possesses. Can't say I was a fan of Sailor Moon or Marmalade boy's anime (for the person who did mention Marmalade boy) because all the characters looked as if they were suffering from anorexia. The legs on them and bodies… unrealistic af.

As for myself, I'm absolutely sick of seeing sports anime and SNK. I've always hated sports animes even before they were a thing and thought they all repeated the same boring formula and character tropes and if you're not in it for the characters, you're not going to enjoy it unless you love the sport in question. I'm sorry, I'm just not going to get into a thing that expects you to get excited about a special volleyball pass. It doesn't work for me. Even all the music club/band animes are more enthralling.
And as for SNK, it's an overhyped piece of shit and I hate how it just won't die. The series itself isn't that bad and has a great setup but it's horribly written and the fandom makes it worse. All these 15-year olds see their first ~edgy~ action anime and think it's some groundbreaking shit even though all of it has been done numerous times before.
>>8400I'm not even bothered by all the legs in old anime, it's better than what we get now as in girls who look 10 but are supposed to be 18 because they have huge tits on their otherwise shapeless body with a kid's face. Like Hestia. That shit is disturbing.
No. 8587
>>8577Mmmm, yeah. I'm tired to fuck of sports animes, they are more or less very similar. I liked free! because it was… slightly realistic, I liked the art and I liked the music. It WAS appealing compared to KNB and Haikyuu where that was just…
I always found the race scenes hilarious in free! where they started screaming and the shitty battle thing that you would see in pokemon… oh man
As for SNK, fucking hell. It's rare I even go into comic book stores or anywhere that sells manga/anime, plus when I do all I see is SNK/DN/Black butler and DBZ… the same shit, again and again. The fanbases ruin it for me tbh, there is always some cunt who wants to be the best at fanfics/fanart and the first to find out new gossip… hence why I left a lot of fandoms because of these reasons… plus im in my twenties now so I think im getting a bit, not old but im looking past all of that now, once you've seen it, no need to see it again.
No. 15569
>>15425100% agree, I didn't know what I was delving into when I was seeking out the NGE fandom about 2-3 yrs ago to see what there thoughts were on some things. Glad I didn't care to know more about how they thought Kaworu and Shinji were meant for one another.
Same thing with the SnK fandom and their need to pair Levi and Eren (though I particularly don't like the manga anymore)
Actually, tumblr does this with every fandom, it sucks. Guys can't be friends on tumblr if they show anything other than complete indifference towards one another. Someone made a post once detailing how fucked up and hypocritical this was on their part because it just encourages guys, especially young ones, to say shit like "no homo" just for showing any signs of friendship to their actual friends.

I think Mirai Nikki is super overrated. But I'm mostly annoyed with how many people are cosplaying her and calling themselves a ~yandere~ So overdone.
No. 15740
>>8114I can't stand any of the characters. They're so annoying to me. Tumblr is full of fictionkin and headmate/soulbond types who are obsessed with one of the gems and they're all really annoying. I don't see the draw. It's a very kiddie cartoon. But I guess it has enough of "mah diversity" to satisfy Tumblr.
>>8127I remember several years ago I found a link on some site that had to do with sci-fi or something like that. It was to a fan translated manga called Attack on Titan. And I was like "What's this? Post apocalyptic monster manga?" And I read a good portion of what was translated and thought it was decent. But I forgot about it. Then this anime came out. And the name sounded familiar. And sure enough it was the same thing. My friend told me it wasn't worth watching. Not sure if I should go back to the manga. I feel like an Attack on Titan hipster now. I'm not really that interested in it to be honest. But what I read was pretty good at the time I guess.
I'm really tired of hearing about SAO. I haven't seen it though. I did like the original .hack anime and games. But then the SAO fans say their anime is so much better. Like with Attack on Titan, I really can't comment on something much if I haven't actually seen a whole episode.
No. 15743
>>15740Hm, but its kinda like that with all media, isn't it? Trying to have a bit of something to draw as much people as possible. Look at boy groups from back in the day, even the spice girls, they all had an act they put on that labelled them the "sporty" one, the cute one, the athletic one, etc. Thats so that everyone can find someone they like and/or identify with.
When I was a kid I loved Sailor Moon because of Sailor Jupiter. I didn't care much for the others and had she not been there I probably wouldn't have watched it as much as I did.
Tumblr just takes this to the extreme by demanding every identifiable trait be present in one show.

Aside from the ones already mentioned ITT Psycho Piss, F/Z, Steins;Gate & Shinsekai Yori.
I very much disliked the former two (fuck urobutcher) but the latter aren't horrible, just didn't deserve as much love as they got.
>>8041>Attack on Titan was garbage after the first 15 minutesEven the first 15 minutes were just merely alright. Aside from the intrigue there wasn't really anything else going for it. It was too obvious how shit all the characters were from the get go. The PVs, even.
>>8110>>8151aku no hana got pretty cringey towards the end tbh
>>8316>I thought the characters were whiny and annoying as shit.In all honestly I thought the scenes involving dialogue could've been worse like all other urobutcher shows.
>>8577>>8587>not liking sports animesI'm curious about your opinion on Ping Pong
>>8577Even in Japan though, it sold like 80k copies which is pretty much like once in a decade thing. I just don't understand what it did right its predecessors didn't that amounted to so much
many? sales. What's the pattern?
>>17669Once hated the bake for the same reasons, but second time around I realized most of the dialogue was just bantz like you'd find on the chans I enjoyed it slightly more. Don't listen to your friends and don't take the show seriously. I think it did a much better job directing scenes involving a shitton of non-stop dialogue better than what most other shows can dream of.
The serious parts were fucking stupid though, I agree with your sentiments on those. But I think the problem lies with the source material. I read Nishio's xxxholic fanfic translated and it was just as pretentious and full of mental gymnastics as bakeshit.
Oh yeah and agreed

Sailor moon crystal. I feel like most liked it or forced themselves to like it because of the nostalgia factor. All the claims of how it's based on the manga therefore it's better when most of the time it wasn't even following the manga. Plus errors like sailor moon using the wrong staff being, that didn't just happen once or twice. And the official art work…

I'm gonna refrain from the obvious ones such as AoT and SAO, but Elfen lied, seriously, that anime is extremely shit. Everything in it is shit, It's super predictable, cliché, HORRIBLE artstyle even though It's not that old, shit background music, shitty, predictable adaption, It's just.. just shit.
One of the anime I've rated with an actual 4, I don't understand how people can like that garbage, most overrated anime ever..
The next I would say is EVA, I mean I think It's pretty good but I don't understand how it has so many fanboys calling it a 'masterpiece', super overrated imo
Oh, and Kill la Kill, I started pinching myself when I saw that. I swear I'll have to commit sudoku if I got to watch through it.
