I don't know if anyone enjoy's anything ironically. If you enjoy something, you enjoy something.

That's true, but I think people try to hide that with the old "so bad it's good" thing. Like with Nyaruko, you had plenty of people earlier in the thread try to justify their enjoyment of it that way.

So I guess some people pretend they only like some stuff ironically because they fear how others will view them? or something.

 

[Instro]

Nah, dat makoto swag was what made episode 8 so good.

There are no Makoto parts without Azusa parts!

I agree with this crazy Englishman.

 

[Regulus Tera]

But didn't we already know this?

Cream Lemon: Pop Chaser (1985) - hentai OVA

Staff involved:

Hiroyuki Kitakubo - Director of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Roujin Z, Blood: The Last Vampire

Hideaki Anno - Director of Neon Genesis Evangelion, Gunbuster, Nadia etc

Mahiro Maeda - Director of Gankutsuou

Katsuhiko Nishijima - Director of Project A-Ko, Agent Aika, Najica Blitz Tactics

Takeshi Mori - Director of Gunsmith Cats, Otaku no Video, The Skull Man

Toshiyuki Inoue - This fucking dude

Takeshi Honda - Animator extraordinaire.

I would love to see Studio Lilith (Kuro Ai, Taimanin Asagi) handle a standard action show.

Ill decision? But...

Behold the superiority of westernization.

This sounds somehow sexual.

I'm saying more likely than not, they'll both have their own pros and cons.

I can agree with this.

This bears repeating to those who have derided watching things like Arjuna/Yami/Glass Fleet/etc. as some sort of hipsterish attention-whoring. "So bad it's good" is a legitimate form of good and people have actual fun watching these series. There's no irony involved whatsoever.

He is Brazil. The personification of millions. The avatar of the next world cup.

Best girl gets best cover

I don't see Lemon anywhere in that quoted post.

 

[Envelope]

Okay, I suppose I can live with that.

Besides, we all know that it's episode 18 that's the best - it's the episode that restored Yamakans faith in the power of anime!

...Only to have it dashed again by KoikeLupin.

 

[Branduil]

Why am I hearing about this for the first time now? I mean, beyond the fact that it's utterly ridiculous.

Korean fan death is such a pervasive meme online that I find it hard to believe people still don't know about it.

Ghibli seem to be very much like a games studio making a 'triple A' title - they really invest their all into their next project to the point where it has to be a success.

In other words you're saying they're a ticking time bomb.

 

[Hellsing321]

I think he means all the people saying stuff like "I guess I'm a furry now!".

Which is a pretty silly complaint, since people like disney's stuff!

But that stuff is clearly tongue in cheek.

 

[Instro]

This sounds somehow sexual.

If you know what I mean.

First promotional video for Tari Tari:

It looks like a mix of Natsuiro Kiseki and Hyouka in terms of visuals. I like it.

Just wait until she tries hot dog-stuffed crust for the first time.

 

[Envelope]

My point exactly!

I think it's only a very, very, very small amount of people for whom the "furry" content there would actually turn them away from it.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Everything has a sexual connotation if you look hard enough for it.

 

[Dresden]

There are no Makoto parts without Azusa parts!

The preview for episode ten was the best preview of the show, by the way.

Dat bounce.

 

[Femmeworth]

How can the champion of chastity, modesty, and long skirts support a producer of filth like Suda51?

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Korean fan death is such a pervasive meme online that I find it hard to believe people still don't know about it.

I'd never heard of it prior to this discussion. It's actually kind of fascinating, and I wonder how it is that I never heard about it before.

 

[Envelope]

But I didn't have to look hard at all for that one! It was almost like he wanted me to think of that.

 

[Rebel Leader]

All the posts about Pizza Hut is really making me hungry. Time to make a sandwich before I make the ill decision to order Pizza Hut.

Oh... You wanted some?

 

[cajunator]

True. I don't watch anything to be hipster, I watch it to be entertained. Yami is GENUINELY FUN. Its crazy nonsensical batshit insanity and sometimes I watch shows specifically for that reason. I rated it a 10 on my MAL specifically because it delivered upon my expectations of it. In spades.

I don't see Lemon anywhere in that quoted post.

Hmmm. You have a point here. As much as I love Kanna, Lemon is troll extraordinaire and awesome for it. That's why I love Hansode Shiranui too.

 

[Ultimadrago]

Oh... You wanted some?

I'm serious about wanting more Pizza Hut product placement in R2!

Is that what I think it is, then?

 

[KO Traveling Hobo]

I don't know if anyone enjoy's anything ironically. If you enjoy something, you enjoy something.

I think enjoying something "ironically" makes sense if your source of enjoyment was unintended by the creators. Like people who watch super serious shows/movies to laugh at the hammy acting and poor writing.

It gets misused a lot, though. Mostly, as Envelope said, to justify liking shows that you feel you shouldn't.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Is it a case of the GAINAX bounce? I can't tell from the still.

There are no Idolm@ster episodes that are as good as the 8-bit Idolm@ster album.

C.C. is so lovely <3

Fun fact: did you know that Geass is actually Celtic for pizza?

 

[Jex]

Oh, was it this one?

If so I did watch it, I think. Didn't think it was that memorable.

Well, you already have the most important part in .gif form.

 

[Branduil]

They could always just peddle merchandise and reap the benefits of an extensive catalogue after Miyazaki and Takahata are gone. Become a company dedicated to the memory of good projects, rather than the production of them.

So like Walt Disney Animation Studios?

 

[Femmeworth]

Games can't have auteurs -- they're not art.

Oh you.

 

[Envelope]

Well, you already have the most important part in .gif form.

But that's not the boob missile or Dark Takane!

 

[Branduil]

That would be a tragedy, but Miyazaki can be blamed for not doing enough to raise up a new generation of talent from within the studio.

He can't even teach his own son how to direct movies.

 

[duckroll]

I never said it was a bad thing to care. All I'm saying is people shouldn't get worked out of shape when someone chooses to ignore an arguably well-executed work because they can't get past the subject matter.

But I see no reason to continue this conversation if it's just going to descend into insults.

That's clearly not "all" you were saying, because the last post I responded to had nothing at all to do with "people shouldn't get worked out of shape when someone chooses to ignore an arguably well-executed work because they can't get past the subject matter", but rather you were directly attacking the attitude that people are more willing to give something a chance if it is by someone they trust.

But if you feel that you can no longer contribute to this debate because all your viable options of retort have been exhausted, then sure by all means.

 

[Jex]

In other words you're saying they're a ticking time bomb.

These old men have to retire at some point. Or they'll just die. This is an inevitability.

 

[Dresden]

Yeah, just didn't have the gif on hand.

So like Walt Disney Animation Studios?

I don't think it's all that offensive so long as they don't start raping the corpse of their legacies ala Brian Herbert, tbh.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

So when is the anime coming out?

 

[DiGiKerot]

There are no Idolm@ster episodes that are as good as the 8-bit Idolm@ster album.

I bought all six of those CDs, and they're all great - even the one with Kotori singing about Sky Kid.

 

[Brazil]

So when is the anime coming out?

Not enough incest for harem anime, too much men for yuri anime.

 

[Jex]

I'd never heard of it prior to this discussion. It's actually kind of fascinating, and I wonder how it is that I never heard about it before.

I've ever heard of it either, perhaps I am not hanging out in places with enough memes.

 

[cajunator]

I did not know this, but here's more pics of C.C. eating pizza.

 

[Branduil]

Yep. My vocabulary isn't very extensive and I usually end up utilizing words from Spanish that are grammatically similar, thing that could lead to a mistake (false friends), but for sure that I'm learning here things by association, like that word Mad Pierrot posted.

Guys, use varied words and expressions so I can learn even more!

I'll try to remember to embiggen my diction for you.
