[Thoraxes]

Smut is my favorite genre of anime, followed closely by robots, and adult slice of life.

 

[Ezalc]

Watch some Angel Beats! and relax.

Christ why would you make things worse, don't you see this man needs QUALITY?!

 

[yami4ct]

I love the "anime is dying" argument. It's like the "PC is dead argument". Anime isn't dying, we're just seeing a lot more of the garbage that comes out because of the internet. Pre-internet, that stuff would have just stayed in Japan for all eternity.

Stop being reasonable in this thread.

It used to be WAY worse.
Ive seen some stuff that was Japan only and it made Eiken look tasteful.

We see garbage because there are people that buy said garbage. Regardless at least we get something along the middle for those wish-fulfillment otakus. Sword Art Online and Accel World.

 

[cajunator]

Too late Brandy.
I pull for LSU and the Saints.

 

[yami4ct]

But said garbage has pretty much always existed. The west just was never exposed to it. A lot of people see the "proliferation" of it as a sign that the medium is dying.

Actually, a lot of stuff coming out recently has renewed my faith in the medium.

'anime is dying' is a joke that gets tossed around a lot here. Same for 'anime is saved' or 'I read the OP'.

Anime did die with Ten Tokyo Warriors. This is its second life.

 

[firehawk12]

I don't think so :x

Well, I would say you should buy the set from RightStuf... but alternatively, I would say that you need at least the second OVA to have the complete experience since it provides a real ending to the series.

 

[Tomat]

We'll never recover from this.

Never.

 

[kayos90]

Fate/Zero was not the anime we deserve but the one we needed.

 

[yami4ct]

I realize that, I just felt the need to vent against an idea I see a lot of other places.

Anime actually died in 1957, don't believe the Illuminati lies.

Do they have it on Blu-Ray? I can only find DVD

 

[airmangataosenai]

"Why'd you do it?"

"I wanted a world where I could have a flying castle."

"Couldn't you of done that without killing 4,000 people?"

".... Shit."

 

[cajunator]

Fate/Zero was not the anime we deserve but the one we needed.

Fate Zero, Madoka Magica, Space Bros, Tsuritama, Chihayafuru...these are reasons to BELIEVE.

 

[Pooya]

^ you might want to spoiler tag that, airmangataosenai.

 

[yami4ct]

"Why'd you do it?"

Spoiler

"I wanted a world where I could have a flying castle."

"Couldn't you of done that without killing 4,000 people?"

".... Shit."

We are lead to believe the dude pretty much made/programmed the whole game himself. If that doesn't push someone to commit mass murder, I don't know what would.

Just watched Smile PreCure! Episode 19

So good.

".... Shit."

I think the reason was that he wanted to create a new reality. A world he envisioned that very much acted like the real world. The ability where people can't respawn infinitely but only have one chance at life.

chaged into immortal object

I saw that. A clear oversight.

 

[airmangataosenai]

^ you might want to spoiler tag that, airmangataosenai.

I can't imagine what would be spoiled by my comment. It's vague and doesn't include any meaningful story details as far as I can tell.

 

[madp]

Fate/Zero was not the anime we deserve but the one we needed.

Why does it always have to be one or the other?

Anime did die with Ten Tokyo Warriors. This is its second life.

Granted it was so bad that it nearly brought about the collapse of civilization, not just anime.

 

[cajunator]

Sora no Woto is only available on DVD outside of Japan.

 

[Hellsing321]

I had that Super Soaker. It was so cash...Shit, this is how Kyoani gets ya.

 

[kayos90]

Touche. I just use Fate/Zero as a good example. There are others. Like SAO. LOLOLOLOL.

 

[cajunator]

Because people buy into bullshit movie lines.
By the way, There will be blood is an awful movie.

 

[Pooya]

SAO was not the anime we needed but the one we deserved :\

 

[madp]

Wouldn't that fall into the "neither" category rather than "both"?

You have dropped on my favorite posters list considerably.

Gintama 113

Oddly enough, this toilet humor evolves into a Nausicaä episode. Go figure.

 

[Emitan]

I HATE THIS INDUSTRY

 

[kayos90]

Don't you mean it's the one anime fans deserve but not the one we needed. Cuz... you know. LOL.

 

[cajunator]

Sorry, but it is.
I really went into it hoping to like it too.

 

[yami4ct]

Nope

 

[Pooya]

we were not worthy of too many nice things back to back, SAO is what we... deserved.

 

[cajunator]

The whole no bluray thing really pisses me off.
At this point EVERYTHING needs to be on bluray.

 

[kayos90]

Nope

Never seen it. I heard good things.

 

[cajunator]

Never seen it. I heard good things.

It has a good premise and a promising start, but anime fans know what happens next.

 

[chickdigger802]

SAO 14


So... author got bored of writing this?


but he wrote like 10 more novels right?

I'm.... wait what just happened?

Should i read the ln? I feel like i missed something :X

 

[yami4ct]

A personal favorite of mine. A wonderful character study of a broken man with a brilliant performance by Daniel Day-Lewis. If your even vaguely a cinephile, it's a must watch.
