Asking for cute girls doing cute things without moe is like asking for JoJo without fabulous posing.

I'm not asking for cute girls doing cute things, I'm saying I've seen too much of it so I want to get away from it. Hopefully something more serious in tone, I'm up for anything really.

BLADE AND SOUL - 13

WHAT.

What is going on ?

WTF

Why is the regular animation so bad ?
Why is that i understand the plot yet it doesn't MAKE SENSE

WHAT

IS

GOING

ON

?

This feel like a Oav with a bad budget ... well it would mean something if blade and soul had a budget in the first place.

Did someone else here watched this episode ?
Can someone HELP ?

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Okay, I've watched too many cute girls doing cute things recently. Anyone have any recommendations that aren't too moe? I'm also willing to do watchbets if anyone is interested.

Free! is a must watch, as well as K and Hakkenden Eight Dogs of the East.

Seems like an odd comparison to make, the two shows aren't even remotely similar.

If you want to talk SHAFT, I actually dislike Hidamari Sketch for many of the same reasons I dislike K-On. But that's not quite as well-known!

I'm more arguing that Nisekoi is objectively bad more than anything else.

As for your HidaSketch views:

Disgusting.

lol

Ah well, we each have things that float our boats.

ducky doing what he should have did the moment the words "adorably rapey" were posted in that order on neogaf

well, it only took him several months

Was there a tl;dr consensus on AnimeGAF's feelings towards Guilty Crown or were opinions pretty divided? I'm halfway through the series and it's like a rollecoaster. Starts out bad, gets a little better, is becoming bad again.

 

[phoenix296]

Just watch Rainbow: Nisha Rokubō no Shichinin If you haven't seen it. Only the rainbow part in the title can be considered moe. Should be just what your looking for.

I think I'll start Free and Rainbow. It's time to see the other side (cute boys doing cute things?). Rainbow seems like my thing and it's the shortest series of those recommended.

URGENT COMMUNITY MESSAGE

It has bothered me for some time that there is a growing presence of lewdness in this community. That doesn't surprise anyone probably, given the nature of anime culture in Japan. For a time I have done very little because well, unless it's really NSFW, it's not really against ToS, and I don't want to control a community thread so much. That time is over. I have received feedback from enough people in this community about the increasing unease they with the shifting culture within.

I read the exchange the other day about cnet expressing his "preferences" with regards to NGNL and the cameltoe shit. And this is my reaction:

So here's what I have to say. Community threads are not "protected" from how the forum is moderated everywhere else. If people are feeling uncomfortable because someone is expressing views which are generally considered to be problematic in a larger social context, those elements will be removed. No one wants to hear about it, we don't want to bother with discussions defending "unpopular" preferences of characters, we don't want waifu wars, we just want to talk about anime without all the garbage.

If people want to talk about their preference of young girls drawn or otherwise, they can talk about it somewhere which is not NeoGAF. If someone wants to post sexy pictures or lewd stuff like panties, bust sizes, or "dat ass" or whatever, they can do so somewhere else which is not NeoGAF. Off-Topic no longer has "Hot Women" or "Hot Men" threads. Image spam for the purpose of self stimulation aid is discouraged throughout the forum. This will be no different. If you want to discuss your sexual fantasies, your fetishes, and what sexual gratification you get from drawn cartoons, you are not welcome to discuss it here.

If you're not happy with this, please find another community on the internet. I recommend 4chan, Reddit, or Animesuki for starters. If you want to complain, don't bother because this is my response:

THE LINE MUST BE DRAWN HERE. THIS FAR, NO FURTHER.

This seems uncontroversial, but I guess it's not if it had to be stated.

Dang so what kicked this off? I haven't seen any blatant pantyshots or anything of that nature.

It's stated in duckroll's post what kicked this off.

I've decided that i can't watch this episode again in order to find the worse moment , it's evenly bad animated but i can't decide witch part is worse than the other.

so no gifs.

Instead i recommand everyone wqtach watch ep 13 , it's stand alone , doesn't make sense EVEN you see it in context and is full of missed cuts and unevens frammes.

ATTENTION CALLING ALL TORADORA FANS

ultimatemegax, to celebrate the imminent release of NISA's Toradora BD-box and dub, has just posted a full translation of an in-depth roundtable interview with Tatsuyuki Nagai (the show's director) and Mari Okada, conducted at JC Staff shortly after the anime and novels ended. Naturally, there are spoilers for the entire series contained within, so keeping that in mind...

http://ultimatemegax.wordpress.com/...ki-nagai-x-mari-okada-roundtable-translation/

Well worth a read.

 

[Syrinx]

So what about just posting those lewd image in links and labeling nsfw instead of them? Just wanted to make sure that is allowed or not. That way it won't offend people's eyes and they won't click on it.[/QUOTE]

I think the idea is to clean up conduct in this thread in general, so I would wager there will be tighter restrictions on that as well. Course it's duckroll's call and I might be wrong.

 

[RoeBear]

Oh ok. Either way Chasing got me pretty hype for the show. It's not my favorite Fairy Tail op but it was around top 5. Favorite is still the third one.

The Wind Rises

Whereas Miyazaki's last two films felt like a director with nothing to say and no idea how to say it, this feels like the work of a confident director who knows what he wants to say and precisely how to say it. I'm thankful that Miyazaki's dedication to a more grounded film led him to make something that actually makes sense and has a comprehensible narrative arc. I had heard that this was like a Takahata film, and indeed the way it enlivens mundane life with flights of fancy is quintessentially Takahata. The themes it dealt with though - the thrill of flight, creativity, and an anti-war stance which was sensitively handled considering the delicate subject matter - are quintessentially Miyazaki. The way large swaths of time are covered elegantly is a sight to behold. And of course, it's a beautiful film, with eye-dropping animation and attention to detail that few anime can match.

A worthy send-off for a great director.

It was certainly a far better film than his previous two.

Ah, thank you.

Fairy Tail 188

Oh. The Wolf Knights are back. I was starting to think those guys were done with. And Princess Mimorin might actually be untrustworthy after all? I thought she was on the side of the heroes for a while, but now I'm not so sure. Neither of the sources for the future can be trusted, apparently. Wonder if those Ishgar guys will show up in a future arc?

 

[trejo]

Is this a new world in KH III?

Preordered already just in case.

 

[Crash Station]

Oh, we're also still allowed to post about lewd shows we're watching, right?

 

[Branduil]

I'm going to admit I never really considered the lewd level to be anything more than a joke, it being so low generally. Unless you were a ten year old. Certainly I had no issues reading it at work.

That said, I assume this means a similar crackdown on the manga thread?

Is that even possible with the stuff they talk about it in there?

 

[Haly]

The nature of the discussion is a bit different, not all lewd is created equal.

Manga, as a medium tends, to have more earnest lewd, because a lot of stories deal directly with sex and sexuality and so on and so forth. Whereas in anime, it's usually manufactured by the fans.

Also, Mangaf had its own issues that were taken care of a while back, namely, Big One and Beam's constant shitposting.

Part of this change seems to be based around complaints duckroll was getting. Mangagaffers seem to have accepted the fact they're in a no mans land of smut and shounen, so if wouldn't be as much of an issue. We've gone pages talking about guro without anyone calling for change, so I think it will continue to be anything goes unless Dresden or Shouta feels that would be an issue.

Well, I can't say, you go there a lot more than I. It just seems like every time I do visit that thread someone is talking about literal porn, LOL.

I wanted to buy the Blu-rays for it too but my budget is screaming no. So I can't. Hopefully they will still be available in a few months.

Oh wait, did you say something?

(I kid, I don't visit those threads or follow the TV show. I think this is another problem the moderation will have to tackle sometime, because it's just a subtler version of "hot women" threads, but it's not my problem in the slightest.)

Shits been getting out of hand. Some of the stuff being posted in recent times would have never flied on this forum back in the day, no reason it should now.

 

[Crash Station]

cnet probably should have stuck to the manga thread. "Beautiful things" would totally fly in there.

Anyway, kind of interesting how one of the most praised shows of the season was the catalyst for all of this.
