I do not find Oreimo to be weird at all. The show is quite restrained and the content is astoundingly tame.
If we wanted to fish for reactions someone should make an official thread for the GotY coming out on June 1st.
MGQ3.What comes out on June 1st?
Oreimo threads are an excellent demonstration of the difference between "normal for otaku who are knee-deep in the anime" and "normal for other nerds."Oreimo isnt weird. Its actually par for the course at this point. It doesnt do anything particularly shocking.
What does SNAFU even mean

Anything that delves into incest or even insinuates it will be considered weird, and understandably so, by most people.
I mean anime almost has a genre for this and very few of them handle the taboo tastefully. Not saying such shows shouldn't exist but theres a reason why people will judge you and the show.
is SNAFU anywhere near as good as Henneko is? Cause Henneko is AWESOME.
It's the best show of its kind in recent memory anyway.is SNAFU anywhere near as good as Henneko is? Cause Henneko is AWESOME.

I never much gave a fuck about people judging me (except my Dad but thats another story).
But anyway, if theres a whole genre formed around it, it cant be very weird anymore by definition.
Now its just normal.
except it doesn't really... for a show with that kind of title, barely any incestous stuff even happens outside of really rare groping, 'kyaa i'm naked' scenes.
It's mostly quite tame and just a normal bro sis relationship with a slight twist.

Threads like that Oreimo thread...I absolutely dont deny that there are gross exaggerations about the content of anime on this board. But at the same time, I really think this community isn't doing itself any favors by calling peoples disturbed by this kind of thing "righteous GAF", and posting pics like...that one just to get a reaction out of people.
I mean...is it so out of the realm of possibility that somebody can react to something like this that way? And when some are going to Wikipedia to read the description about Oreimo, or even watching the first two episodes in one instance, and they read about/see the sharing of porn games and such (at least that's what they were saying, including the people familiar with the show)...I'm sorry; being weirded out really isn't an unreasonable reaction. I could certainly do without the pedo accusations, but when there's that many people responding "DAT ass" and other such things, if only to bait people...
...Look, the hyperbole and generalizations are annoying and disheartening. But just think that there may be a point where people may be in too deep to see how this stuff can look to outsiders, and that there are times where these reactions aren't entirely unwarranted. And that many of the behaviors of the people in this community who post in threads like those are not making matters any better.
Maybe I'm just agitated today.

snafuuu is fun. A bit of downer that best girl is a guy, but I like the jibs of the mc.
unlikable characters doing uninteresting things. really boring.
though the main girl is almost like a senjougahara-lite so you might like it
Normal for who?
To continue rolling with the Natsu no Arashi! theme; if you end up reaching the opening (don't skip episodes, please), take this guide with you... so nice to see the true worth of this:

.for any fan of anime
would that story happen to be a four-panel comic ending with angry father face?![]()
Oh shit. now I'm kind of interested. Except that could also mean she might be seen as a pale copy of Senjou in which case it might just be bad.
Bro that is not by any means of the imagination a normal brother sister relationship.
There's tons of instances were incest has been insinuated especially in season 2. As long as there's some trace people will pick up on it because its such a sensitive issue in the medium.
I am quite a skinny non-neckbeard and I definitely wouldnt show my father uguu anime as an example (probably something like Kino) but otherwise yes its definitely like that.
I think my dad cares a lot less about my hobbies now since I am making ends meet all on my own without his help. I think it more just bothers him that Im not into the hobbies he is into as much. He did help me get the curio into my room as well as move furniture and shit. Im sure he just wants me to be a certain something that I am really not.

Yeah no. There are a lot of questionable "genres" and you may argue that by the literal definition of weird they are not but the content is still off putting and even offensive to some people.
I didnt say every anime fan had to enjoy those genres, just that they are prevalent enough not to be weird. Theres nothing in Oreimo that wasnt explored to some degree before in other anime. Its really not a strange thing to see anime pandering to siscon.
Yep. And from the 70s, like the Naomi Chiaki ones... even 60s! Direct comparison for the opening alone:Huh, I had no idea those were references to 80s album covers.
This series revolves around a group of peculiar detectives in a new division created to fight against an increase in atrocious crimes. Osawa Eriko is a beautiful career woman who has just returned from training in the U.S. and is appointed as the "boss" of this division. But despite her intelligence and capabilities, she can never understand a man's heart, so she remains unable to find a husband. In fact, her assignment in the U.S. was really a demotion after she ruined her career track over a man. So why was she chosen as the boss of the new division? Even though the detectives are talented, they all have some kind of issue or flaw, and they are considered to be the "problem children" of the police force. In the end, the division's true purpose is just to isolate these problematic detectives.

Dude...if you really think that saying "but there's lots of incest pandering anime out there" is going to make people think that the subject matter is any less distasteful or make them any less disturbed that people watch it, or that it's any less weird, then I really don't know what to say.I didnt say every anime fan had to enjoy those genres, just that they are prevalent enough not to be weird.

Oh yeah!MGQ3.
As a side note, I like how even though it's probably a bullshit answer, they were prepared to put some kind of thought into how to make it work in a sense.Quotes like the one below is why we need more people to be interested and expectant of Mr. Yamaga visits to FanimeCon:
And, finally, someone asked, "Is Yoko really 14?" to much laughter and applause. Yamaga responded that "As the series takes place underground, time may be measured differently. So a year underground may be different from what we consider to be a year." That was met with the most cheering I had heard at the panel yet. Personally, I think it's the best non-committal answer I've ever heard.
Oh sheeeeet what anime?
I guess I've just been in the trenches of the moezone too long then.
I need at least 2 cucumbers to feel any tortoise.

The shonen guy doesn't recognise Gintama? Wut.

Man, that Oreimo thread feels disappointingly tame. It's like everyone's just going through the motions by now.
Is it too late for me to pretend to be offended?
