Support NeoGAF

[Branduil]

To be honest, I've adopted an anti-intellectual attitude of sorts in this thread. It's this funky paradox where I do want to have an actual discourse at times, but I don't really want to ever debate cause it's just exhausting. I do enough of that on in my 3d life, Gaf is for :cajuning.

This is all because of the time you got burned recommending the Bleach movie, isn't it?

 

[cajunator]

I'm just going to call it The skittlesneeze pyramid of argumental monoclism.

I stand by that rec! Duckroll don't phase me.

You ruined it for all of us, now duckroll will never just blindly watch anything we praise effusively again.

 

[Crash Station]

And I'll back you up on that! (Once I get around to watching it)

 

[Regulus Tera]

You realize that Brandy hasn't watched Idolm@ster, right?

That's an ad hominem.

I think you should relax and not act like us poking fun at each other isn't something that happens every single day in this thread and that every conversation needs to be a serious argument about how Ikuhara is a bad sexist writer or Idolmaster is awesome because scientists found it has twice as much Empirical Fun Units as the next show.

Not being serious doesn't imply making what you post as dumb as possible. I personally find discussion fun and relaxing.

I'm not sure how that's relevant to you getting really huffy whenever Idolmaster gets brought up. How about responding with how you believe he's wrong instead of complaining that he dropped the show by episode 5, which btw, is plenty of episodes to form an opinion on a series.

My only point is that even I had called Infinite Stratos a great show with fun character development or whatever it would have no relevance in the current discussion.

Whoa,

kinda interesting that they hardly used anything in the PV. Maybe their planning on turning this into a series.

High Score 1-2

ehhh it's average at best but it's only 3 minutes per ep so i'll stick with it.

Well sure it can be fun, and often is. Just rarely when it involves you.

If we only talked about what was relevant in this thread it'd be a pretty boring place.

 

[7Th]

That's an ad hominem.

Not in that specific situation; my response was to the comment made by zeroshiki about Brandy's post.

It's actually pretty common;

Spoiler

not using stuff from the PV, I mean. Just consider the PV like a pilot of sorts; even if they decide to do more, they won't be using the animation they made for the original PV.

It was the same with BRS, actually. Compare the PV with the OVA they actually released.

 

[zeroshiki]

I feel you bro!

Oh no you don't. Miri gets to do it, but not Mr mono-no-aware-liveaction>anime himself.

 

[sleepykyo]

Duckroll takes recommendations now? So far only 2 posters took AnimeGaf's recommendation to watch School Days and that incest anime and they seem to have vanished off the face of gaf.

 

[sonicmj1]

I'm enjoying Idolmaster more than Penguindrum, but I think that's just because I know exactly what I'm getting with the former, while the latter keeps confusing me, and I'm bewildered a lot of the time. Not that it's bad, but one is easier to like.

Ringo's character arc, even limited to the first 10 episodes, is certainly more dramatic than anything in Idolmaster. But how characters change in Penguindrum is the point of the entire show, while Idolmaster is merely about cute girl archetypes becoming cute idol archetypes.

 

[cajunator]

Seconded. This must happen

You don't get to claim that you take an anti-intellectual approach if you're the one who keeps introducing weird arguments into the thread.

And here you confirm you don't understand how ad hominem works.

That's not what he's saying though!

 

[Ezalc]

Arguing in the animu thread is usually so redundant. This is why I just stop when I get tired of it.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Horizon 10

15 minutes plus of non stop action was pretty epic. Even better was that each scene had my favorite pieces of the music, with my favorite track playing with the arguably best fighters (Schwarzfloren and Weissfloren) in the series getting in on the action.

Spoiler

Could have done without the victory yuri action...

Nenshinbara finally getting some screen time and a role was quite cool and I like how they described it as a fan fiction writer if I recall. The anime has really climbed up to being one I actually did look forward to much of the season and am glad I stuck with it until now. Its going to be fun to marathon once its on disc.

I hope they pull out an Armament of Deadly Sin before the season ends.

Delicious moe chicken sandwiches with a side order of victory fries.

Stop being agreeably reasonable.

And here you confirm you don't understand how ad hominem works.

Now you're using ad hominems. You better stop it or people are going to judge you as being petty and immature because you're not arguing seriously about anime on the internet.

Tsun tsun.

[Audio Drama] Mawaru-Penguindrum: The Murder of Penguin 0: This played out a lot like an Un-Go episode without all the depressing bits. It's also great to have Kanba acting on his more womaniser-side. That part of his character is almost entirely relegated to Penguin 1 in the actual show.

 

[Branduil]

I don't know if firehawk takes an anti-intellectual approach, but I do know that my head often hurts when I read that he skips all action scenes or that sports anime are good because they're not about sports.

 

[Master Milk]

Empirical Fun Units

We should start using these so that it's easier to tell other people which shows are good and which are flat-chested tier.

I have no excuse for the action things but a "sports" anime like Cross Game benefited from them skipping pretty much all the baseball (and I love baseball)

What is this?

I think measuring shows in EF u's could really catch on.

We could call them squeenits.

Flat-chested tier is god tier right?

Audio-drama, sorry.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Sometimes arguing can be fun, but only up to a certain point. I only have one person in all of GAF on my Ignore List, and its an Animu-Gaffer. Adding just this one person on my Ignore List has made everything glorious and :cajun.

Sports anime/manga is all about the stuff behind the sport, anyways.

EFUs need more study. Too much over a sustained period can render a man's psyche damaged beyond any hope of salvation. An acceptable range perhaps.

I think the line of irreversible damage should be called the Dresden Line.

Old-school Captain Tsubasa was like 75% actual playing and 25% drama.

We need a pyramid to sort this shit out.

Make it a pie chart. Everybody likes pie.

 

[cajunator]

Life should be measured in squeenits.

Also how cheap is this? My company gave the new guy a Christmas stocking.
They cut the name out of it from the guy who left and stapled an index card in the hole with new guy's name written on it.

But cake > pie, so we can make it a multi-layered cake graphic.

I wanna be the frosting.

It sounds like your life should be a depressing slice-of-life anime.
