Why can't they be both?
i can't find that image of the short haired kurisu so hopefully that was just a really bad dream or something

You know, I'm almost starting to get bored by it. Almost.
We need a new show for people to
Such hyperbole. It's just you.
It takes hard work to make CGI that looks that bad.

I think I to keep watching it because I'm in a state of shock in what it replaced.
i think it's time we start scanning anime aggregate sites for abolutely terrible shows.
this looks promising!
I think it's time we started recommending good shows, thus fostering intelligent conversation and debate, and increasing our enjoyment of anime as a whole.
It is amazing to see how much love some people on Arabic-speaking countries profess for shows of that era, and their own adaptations, to the point of stating how much superior some of the aspects were in those, flooding with opinions like the always present "the opening of Treasure Island in Arabic is much better than any other by a large margin" many discussions or video webpages. But better judge yourself on this:

So...during your formative years what got you into anime?
It's only fun when the show in question ends up having a really peculiar left turn right at the end of it, though. It's no fun if it's just outright bad or stupid.
Kimba and Captain Tsubasa are hallmark anime in the Middle East. They still get airtime to this day, with Tsubasa being renamed to Captain Majid. Hell, I remember flicking through some arab national channels in Dubai recently and seeing Kimba on there.
It wouldn't really make sense
for her to remember everything like that without a shock like the one Feyris had in the cafe. The fact that she remembered those important moments was enough for me, especially considering her feelings for Okabe were among the memories she retained.

There's a show on Netflix called RIN. The little blurb made it sound pretty interesting, but I decided to check it out on ANN to get a better idea of what it was about.
I now hold that memory in deep reverence as the day that ANN saved my life.

Spoilers: Practically no-one is interested in them. It's not a great spectator sport either - people just tend to stay stuff along the lines of "this was really good".

Hey man, RIN is pretty okay.
Sure the main female character starts off as a badass then ends up having to be saved by the memory of the man she loved but up until then
After shitting on Eureka Seven yesterday in the heat of the moment, I gave it a little more thought. It's still terrible, but the direction is fine. At least scene by scene. The overall series' direction is terribad, but I'm not sure who's to blame for that. To get back to my Horizon comparison: Horizon threw you right in the middle of a very strange, chaotic scenario, with tons of outlandish concepts and half a billion characters. Add some bad infodumps, and the viewer can't help being confused as hell. Eureka Seven on the other hand seems far more straight forward in comparison, yet after eight episodes, you still have no idea what's going on. Not even Ganta Renton seems to know what the fuck Gekkostate even is, or what they're fighting for, or against, or why the government is bad. Shit is just happening without context.
You shouldn't. The whole "sacred pose" concept is incredibly stupid, even by Queen's Blade standards. And the OVA 1 SP was fucking terrible, so I'm not even going to watch this shit. Too bad Siggy will be the main antagonist this time. I actually kinda like Queen's Blade, but so far, Rebellion looks like a massive step down.
Wow.
God damn, it's like Sentai is licensing one show a week or something. They've just picked up Kure-nai with a digital/sub-only DVD release plan.
Actually, a fair amount of people do provide actual commentary and analysis on what they watch.
Nice, this show was really good.

Darn today got less exciting with funimation delaying guilty crown 18.
But at least the legend of the legendary heroes dub trailer sounds good, dont even recognize nary a voice.

, but the way things worked out makes sense too. And that's my problem: the original ending was abrupt and vague enough to be interpreted either way. I wish they had been more explicit.
RIN - Daughters of Mnemosyne
I think it would have made sense based on
her closeness to Okabe, the strength of their feelings, etc

I didn't spoil the story for myself, so I wasn't commenting on that. I got as far as the "Themes" tags and ANN's plot blurb before dropping on my knees and thanking my weeaboo saviors.

This is what happens when you combine the talent of White Fox with the writing of an 'after all the important stuff has happened' story. In other words, it's a largely pointless exercise in bad art, disjointed scenes and extremely forgettable audio cues.
Let's take a look at some of the finer shorts, shall we?
I like the way everyone is lined up in a straight line, because that's the simplest way to do this kind of shot. Mokea sure has some amazing details on her hand animation. It's okay though, because this is actually part of a beautifully executed shot-reverse-shot sequence. See:
That's right, they've lined up even more characters on this side too, in the most basic arrangement that you can think of. It's like something that a 10 year old game up with. Luckily the shot is completely flat so you don't have to draw these characters with any kind of depth.
See, she's supposed to be reflected in the windscreen, but because nothing else is reflected she just looks like the decapitated head of a ghost. Masterful.
Actually, what's worse than the art it the 'story progression' in the episode. It doesn't really have a centre or focus, it's just a bunch of scenes where characters execute their one fetishised trait (moe, interenet slang, maid costume etc) but without any of the added depth that made them fleshed out (read: interesting) characters.
Oh, and the lack of a clothes change for (nearly) every character is incredibly lazy.

A'ight let's do this!
Blood C - Episode 01
Well that wasn't so bad.
Man, it's been so long since I've watched a CLAMP show. Saya is really cute. The fight scene was pretty cool. Seems like a pretty standard plot set-up
. I haven't really watched much of the other Blood adaptions (aside from a few episodes of Blood+) so this... is pretty much my first in-depth venture into the whole thing.

happy go lucky schoolgirl by day, bad-ass beast slayer by night
Saya was the moe-est character of last season.
That's exactly what I thought as well. Maybe it all makes sense in retrospect, but 160 minutes in, it still doesn't. And that's most certainly NOT a good thing.

I read and watched Dragonball but after 1-2 years I couldn't stand it anymore. Watching the same weak plots again and again.

I think this post was more entertaining than the episode itself. Makes it all worth it.

I just thought I'd let you know, there's no point in watching Blood+. It's dozens of episodes of nothing happening at all followed by an unsatisfying conclusion.
You're probably why the majority of anime is terrible and filled with simplistic plots and tons of exposition. You should be ashamed.
Sounds like a problem on your end.

1. Sit on GAF and wait for someone to post a meltdown after watching Blood C. If nothing happens, suggest someone watch Blood C. If no response, watch Blood C and feign a meltdown.
2. Sit on GAF and get a suggestion for a new "good" anime. Watch new "good" anime. Post reaction. Share experience of common interest. Profit.
It's true. I've been watching nothing but good shows, and people only seem to care what I say when I get pissed at particular episodes/Bakemonogatari.
Maybe the problem is that I don't post enough cute screencaps of Rin in my Usagi Drop impressions.
I'm not, and I shouldn't be. Whoever eats this shit up and believes it's clever or deep probably should be, though.
It's not, don't worry.

Just to further explain my point these shots are actually from two completely different scenes, in two completely different locations in this episode that are separated by many hours. You're really see how different the two cultures are through the language of the visuals -
Masterful. They can't even keep the pattern on that shirt consistent.

Ok fine;
3. Sit on GAF and get a suggestion for a new "good" anime. Watch new "good" anime. New "good" anime turns out to be Blood C. Post meltdown on GAF. Troll successful.
The problem is that it's not clever or deep. It's a pretty straightforward show which the majority of people who have seen it have no trouble understanding. You seem unique in that aspect. So the conclusion here is that there's something wrong with you if you can't understand something simple, not the show.
This would also be less of a problem if there were more good shows to watch this season. Last season, we were sharing a lot of discussion each week about whatever was running, but right now I don't feel like there are a lot of shows that people want to talk about.
When Spring rolls around, there will probably be less (emphasis on) trolling with bad shows.

Are you seriously trying to suggest E7 is either clever/deep or makes itself out to be when it's not? It's a supremely simply show that carries essentially the same elements as you would see in many series by Bones.
Problem's on your end.
In all probability, there will be though. Less trolling, more arguing, anyway.
It's like people have forgotten that AKB0048 exists. Such naivety.
