Im liking them so far!

 

[Branduil]

Let us not go nuts here.

No, nuts is claiming "Imaishi has the only director worth paying attention to in anime."

 

[KirbYuuYuu]

What's with the pissy fits? Put your pants back on.

 

[Crocodile]

I've thoroughly enjoyed every work Imaishi has directed with the exception of Dead Leaves so there!

Spoiler

Imaishi Defense force assmble!

 

[Narag]

Valvrave the Liberator 2-6

oh my god i forgot about the 666 and Moses lines lol

 

[Gvaz]

So I just watched Kill la Kill and uhm. What the fuck was that about.

Pants have no place in this new world without shame.

I liked the key animation he did in Fujiko Mine. Is that close enough?

 

[ZachDeKoromaru]

There's no better time for Strike Witches to make its return.

 

[SDBurton]

I would suggest Samumenco instead. Kill la Kill has stumbled constantly and consistently and struggles with finding what it wants to be while suffering from several elementary level writing mistakes. Id suggest approaching it cautiously.

Now if the characters had dicks this post would be the complete opposite of what it is right now.

 

[Hitokage]

I'm not much of an Imaishi fan in general, but Imaishi aping Ikuhara makes for a fun time.

 

[Branduil]

Imaishi's best work was in Black Rock Shooter TV

 

[cnet128]

So I just watched Kill la Kill and uhm. What the fuck was that about.

In a word: awesome.

In two words: lewd awesome.

Now if the characters had dicks this post would be the complete opposite of what it is right now.

Not quite. The tone would be largely the opposite, but he would still be complaining about elementary writing mistakes. DTL can't stand his protagonists losing regardless of what gender they are.

Dayum.

 

[Narag]

someone start posting Imaishi MADs!

 

[Hitokage]

He brought Okada's writing to life, and you scorn him so!

 

[jman2050]

Brandy is swinging at air, I don't even have any particular fondness for Imaishi!

Also Haruhi is better than Hyouka as well.

 

[Hitokage]

Seriously, the only reason BRS was so enjoyable was because of the direction. Take that away, and you get Sasami: Magical Girls Club.

 

[Branduil]

Also Haruhi is better than Hyouka as well.

That's just silly.

 

[cnet128]

That's just silly.

Accurate, though.

 

[jman2050]

That's just silly.

I'm sorry, I misspoke.

Haruhi S1 and Disappearance are better than Hyouka.

 

[Soma]

The "Your favorite anime is shit!" image would never be as apt at a better time than this.

 

[jman2050]

The "Your favorite anime is shit!" image would never be as apt at a better time than this.

But I liked Hyouka.

 

[Crash Station]

I don't want to live in any world where KLK is better than Hyouka.

You're the one refusing to accept the truth, not us.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

I personally can't stand Haruhi, but love Hyouka. Because the whole theme is senpai not noticing.


Toonami just had a FLCL ad. Ah man fucking memories. Watching Adult Swim as a 14 year old. Discovering FLCL. Getting awkward boners.

 

[Gazoinks]

The most powerful theme of our time.

 

[Branduil]

I want sempai to notice my favorite anime.

 

[Hitokage]

Both Hyouka and KLK are good. NTHT is horrible.

 

[KirbYuuYuu]

I want sempai to notice my favorite anime.

Is it on CR?

 

[cnet128]

But I liked Hyouka.

Yeah, this. I think Hyouka is good, very good even, but not the best thing KyoAni have ever made. (That's Nichijou, closely followed by Haruhi.)

 

[Hitokage]

Yeah, this. I think Hyouka is good, very good even, but not the best thing KyoAni have ever made. (That's Nichijou, closely followed by Haruhi.)

I take it you're a Dane Cook fan.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Nichijou IS pretty fantastic.


So for those who watch Uchuu Kyoudai/Space Brothers, what's the show about? Do you recommend it?

 

[Dresden]

I take it you're a Dane Cook fan.

yo damn

 

[cnet128]

I take it you're a Dane Cook fan.

Never heard of him, but Wikipedia is telling me he's an American stand-up comedian, which makes me immediately apprehensive.

 

[Hitokage]

He specializes in being loud and extreme, which is what Nichijou likes to do.

 

[duckroll]

All anime is bad. Some people just have worse tastes than others so they can enjoy more.

 

[FelixOrion]

What is going on

 

[ZachDeKoromaru]

This is one catty Saturday.

So for those who watch Uchuu Kyoudai/Space Brothers, what's the show about? Do you recommend it?

Man takes on his dream of becoming an astronaut since his little brother beat him to the punch, fantastic things ensue, also there's a pug in it. Go watch it.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

He specializes in being loud and extreme, which is what Nichijou likes to do.

Isn't that like 90% of anime humor though? Being loud and extreme?

Like 70% of say Gintama, which is one of the most beloved comedies in anime, is the joke/reaction routine of screaming what's happening.


If you don't like Nichijou that's fine, but calling it out on a common anime trope is a tad unfair.

Sold.

Well it was the worst Saturday in the history of the universe.

 

[Crash Station]

It's pretty damn inspiring (partially due to the fantastic ost) and has a protagonist in his 30s. Really got the whole "follow your dreams no matter what age you are" thing down very well.

 

[ZachDeKoromaru]

Well it was the worst Saturday in the history of the universe.

They didn't cancel Strike Witches 3 so I'm not sure how that's possible.

 

[duckroll]

Arguing about whether one anime is better than another is like arguing whether one type of fried chicken is healthier than another. Or maybe soda brands. Lol.

 

[Hitokage]

Not entitely, no.

Like 70% of say Gintama, which is one of the most beloved comedies in anime, is the joke/reaction routine of screaming what's happening.

Sounds like Gintama is overrated.

If you don't like Nichijou that's fine, but calling it out on a common anime trope is a tad unfair.

It is entirely fair, because while many skits in Nichijou work, the ones that don't all share the same comedic failing. Pedestrian jokes don't become gold just because you turn it up to 11.

 

[cnet128]

He specializes in being loud and extreme, which is what Nichijou likes to do.

Loud and extreme as humour is difficult to pull off well.

Nichijou does so wonderfully, by mixing in various ingredients such as well-conceived absurdity, high-concept sketches, adorableness, feelgood friendship and so forth in just the right quantities, then wrapping it all up in a glorious package of beautiful sakuga.

Well. Coke-chan is better than Pepsi-kun, that's common knowledge.

Not entitely, no.

Just for the sake of argument what do you consider good anime humor? To clarify I'm not trying to pick a fight, I'm curious if there's an anime style of comedy I've missed besides the screaming, the straight man routine, and the "so random it's funny".

 

[KirbYuuYuu]

So then don't make it about pedestrians?

 

[Gazoinks]

Well. Coke-chan is better than Pepsi-kun, that's common knowledge.

As we've learned from Steins;Gate, Dr. Pepper-san is the one true drink.

Be right back, getting rid of all my anime.

 

[ZachDeKoromaru]

Yep.

Absolutely disgusting.
