Fuck, Japan's making it even harder for North America to start giving a damn again.

Oh, you're one of those...Nonoriri said:I just developed good senses over time. Following staff and what not, I never even read summaries for anything that I plan to watch.

Saying that it doesn't really sound like you enjoy it at all anymore. Your "good" taste is questionable sometimes as well, but we all have our faults.Nonoriri said:I just developed good senses over time. Following staff and what not, I never even read summaries for anything that I watch.

That's how I do things for the most part, but when searching blinding I read the descriptions I can find and see if the concept is interesting enough.Hitokage said:I come across titles by chance, pick them up by inkling, and then watch them by whim.
A quickly developing bitterness against anime in general, no doubt.Hitokage said:I come across titles by chance, pick them up by inkling, and then watch them by whim.
Needless to say, there are pros and cons to this approach.
We never did leave the Summer thread.Dresden said:Huh, I thought to myself. Looks like 200+ posts were added on while I was gone.

Oh, K-ON bashing/moaning.

Oh, more whining.

Hey, it's the same shit all over again. It's like we never left the Summer thread.

That's how I got notified of Kimi ni Todoke! o:Halycon said:I also select shows to watch by the concept art/screenshots.
I guess we think too differently in the selection process.Nonoriri said:See that method leaves me open to dismiss something, by blindly watching something I can sit through anything and judge it fairly.
That is pretty much what I do.Halycon said:I also select shows to watch by the concept art/screenshots.

Watch them if you want to see the love triangle resolved.Salazar said:I realise that this sounds pathetic to the LOGH marathoners, but I'm finding it hard to muster enthusiasm to watch the last 8 or so Macross eps.
Is it worth my while ?
Joule said:Also recently read the first novel of Bungaku Shoujo and enjoyed it quite a bit. I heard that the movie was quite good too. However it seems that the movie adapts the fifth novel in the series and since Yen Press is on a 'one release every six months' (with 8 volumes it'll be 4 years until it's finished being localized, oh the suffering) deal with their light novels I don't know if I want to actually check the movie out. Anyone here have any thoughts on it?
Late Fall apparently. Tamayura wasn't mentioned either.Lain said:Mirai Nikki OVA isn't in fall?
Hopefully they fix CG Deus.Geneijin said:Late Fall apparently. Tamayura wasn't mentioned either.
Care to name a few?Anyway, I've largely carved my own path through the world of anime, and despite sitting through a lot of shit that happens to push a particular button of mine(hey, I'm admitting it), I've come across decent titles that get little to no love here.
To be fair it isn't a good title. I came up with it sooner after I woke up and was still not all there, and the only thing that came to mind at the moment was OreImo.Unknown Soldier said:What the hell, I go to sleep for a few hours and when I wake up the good thread name has been replaced by a bad one? :lol
Nonoriri said:I think that staff is at least a better indicator of quality than most methods, if you follow and enjoy animation/direction/character design/storyboarding/planning/music/voice acting by specific individuals what they're involved in next is sure to appeal to you at least on some level. Or working backward in time what these people have done in the past would also be very much worth looking into.
But for those "canon" series that people recommended in general on /a/ and the like, I just sat down and watched them without second thought. I figured the best way to determine whether I would enjoy these esteemed works would be through experiencing them. For currently airing anime I just apply what I've "learned" almost subconsciously and choose to follow certain things and filter out those I suspect to be of dubious quality.
I select shows based on various factors like a - what people recommend to me b - looking through staff / studios, c - what's considered essential in genre a or b from sites / forums. Also like i am for music, i tend to be a internet hound and spend all day searching up various anime series and add whatever looks interesting / well-received to my ever-expanding list of stuff to watch.Dresden said:I select shows by the hype they generate. Gurren Lagann is probably the best example, along with Bakemonogatari.
Or how cool the trailers look. Tatami Galaxy comes to mind, along with Trapeze.
People tend to do that with anything they're interested in... music being the best example I think.
InfiniteNine said:Yeah, lets talk about cute H yuri anime!

The only thing I seem to stay away from is stuff that has a gratuitous amount of exposed huge boobs.Dresden said:Pretty much. I avoid anything by Franzen, for example.

Well, you might have noticed DrForester and I shouting into the wind regarding one.InfiniteNine said:Care to name a few?
It's an old-school space opera. You're lucky the characters don't act like they're from the 19th century... oh, wait, they do.Halycon said:The people in LOGH have a child's understanding of economics. I know it's necessary for the story to work but it's really really grating.
I thought Japan has a good education system, surely the country that produced Economics and Wolf can do better with a sci fi space epic?
I actually have a few of those added in my to watch pile. :lolHitokage said:Well, you might have noticed DrForester and I shouting into the wind regarding one.![]()

It was made in 1998 man.Dresden said:It's an old-school space opera. You're lucky the characters don't act like they're from the 19th century... oh, wait, they do.
Well they also produced Setokai Yakuindomo, so... um... yeah.Halycon said:The people in LOGH have a child's understanding of economics. I know it's necessary for the story to work but it's really really grating.

I did liar!DrForester said:I pick new shows by recommendation. And in the case of new season the 4chan /a/ list.
Example. I seem to be the only one so far listing...
Halycon said:It was made in 1998 man.
1998.
That was not that far back.
We understood how democracy and economics worked in 1998. Hell we understood how they worked in the 19th century.
This is like if people from the 18th century made an anime.
The episodes you are watching were made in the 80s actually.Halycon said:It was made in 1998 man.
