Be nice to alien posters
You should consider that a good thing.
I honestly hadn't heard of this either. It boggles my mind actually. I could see people getting hurt by those metal fans before the 70s with wide open cages though.

That's not what Korean fan death is, though.
Let's not and say we did.
I don't know what Korean fan death is. I only know that the old fans used to be very dangerous.
Maybe it's the NC-17 version of Korean fan death.... from the 70s. Banned in most countries!

If art requires auteurs then I guess filmmaking isn't art, either.
Umm interesting staff choice, Shin Itagaki is kind of hit-and-miss for me though.
Hell yes!Tadashi Hiramatsu did key animation for next week's Fujiko: https://twitter.com/#!/Hiramatz/status/197733651306389504
That's Shouko Nakamura's ep.

Oh, the shift from battling to girls and some guys doing random things? I didn't even noticed that.
Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakama-tachi 08
Too lazy to pick an image.
It was funny I guess. Run through all the seen girls and then some and insult them til something breaks. Sure, there's no plot or real focus and we had to kill time with trailers and parts of movies that will never be seen, but it was somewhat amusing.
As for the shift, I guess if I was invested in the story line or whatever drama is going on, I wouldn't like the sudden shift. But, I'm ok with more fairy tales and silly randomness going on.
Do you know what auteur means?
This is going to turn into a very lame discussion. I just know it. Fasten your seatbelts!
I blame Suda51.
Well, I mean look at how fans used to be!
It is. As a resident of the south, I promise you that using electric fans is not hazardous to your health or I would have been dead years ago. It is an essential part of living here.
Unless you want to sleep in a room like a sauna.

You started it, Duckroll!
actually you didn't, but you had the most vitriolic rhetoric, so whatever.
I know it's a BS film criticism theory, yes.
So you don't know what it means and choose to lash out at it anyways? Okay.

I always thought about sticking a finger in there and seeing what would happen when I was little.
In the end I just used a stick instead.
Japan can really make anything look cute.
Looks like exactly what I expected. Hope it's good, since it's up my alley in terms of taste!
I think that this is a fair statement. Many of us simply try to dissociate ourselves with the concept of doing anything ironically due to the recent negative association with hipster culture, where doing something ironically is often a self-indulgent expression of contempt or smug superiority. Upper middle-class kids wearing shabby clothing, drinking cheap beer, or engaging in working-class social activities are common examples because they're all done as a mockery of what they emulate. The AnimeGAF parallel to this would probably be a shounen-hater deciding to marathon Naruto out of active dislike for the genre with the expectation that they'll eviscerate every episode and generally make the marathon about how much they personally hate the show and how much better the things that they like are.
When people watch things like Yami, there's no attempt to prove anything or generally draw attention to the irony of watching a show that's beneath their status as a critical viewer. They watch these shows because they want to enjoy them and because they accept the concept of "so bad it's good" as a valid kind of humor. Because they're still deriving enjoyment from something for the opposite reason intended by the creators this certainly falls under the definition of watching something ironically, but it's purely good-intentioned and shouldn't be confused with the negative kind of ironic behavior that many are more familiar with.

Oh that? Didn't even really gave it a second thought.
I mean I guess it's quite different from pretty much everyone else's background. Depends on how much they'll spend on it though. I mean, it was brought up for two episodes or so and promptly dropped.
It totally messes up the atmosphere of the show,
they don't handle it and it's implications well at all.
I don't know why you always get so upset when your dismissive one-off remarks are met with dismissive replies.
Right, it's not that your enjoyment itself is ironic, but it's derived in an ironic way. But going back to the Nyaruko example, that still doesn't fit that particular case, because people's enjoyment of it comes exactly the way the creators intended.
You should probably know what auteur means before using the word and calling it BS though. Just saying.
This is ridiculous. air conditioner explosions? in-car explosions? What the fuck are Koreans doing? Also I kind of want to go to Korea, setup a bunch of fans in a room and go to sleep and freak people out.
I watched Yami because I wanted to experience yuri and pain. but I ended up getting Yuri and pleasure from it. Its such a fun show. Lilith is so cute too.
And that's my whole post summed up in a sentence. Man, I'm stupidly longwinded today.
But many people do think that way! They'll say, "Sure, I might have enjoyed xyz, but it's not like it was actually good or anything."
So basically, they're being tsundere.
Replace "critical" with "discerning", that should probably make the meaning more clear. Not everyone here may be critical, but they do have personal standards regarding what they do and don't watch.
Not everyone is a critical viewer.
So are you speechless because you're a hypocrite whining about fan service all the time and you've just realized that?

That's pretty much true. It was like a point in the story and completely forgotten by the next episode. It doesn't really look like we'll actually return back it to either.

I think that's too much fanservice for a SFW thread.

That GIF isn't from Firefly.
The future:
Bladeless fans are pretty popular in Korea, although I remember Dyson suing a few of the manufacturers recently.

It's kind of the present.
But that thing's dangerous. You may lose your arm if you put it through the hole.
You claimed games can't have auteurs because they're not art. This doesn't really make any sense unless you're discriminating against games on the basis of their collaborative nature, but films are also a collaborative media, so your argument was self-defeating. I shouldn't have had to explain this.
But many people do think that way! They'll say, "Sure, I might have enjoyed xyz, but it's not like it was actually good or anything."

I see shows like that as "good" in that they entertained me, not qualitywise. Is that what you're talking about? Obviously a show like Yami isnt made with high production values as far as I can tell, but it is stupidly fun to watch. In a way I enjoy it more than much better crafted shows.
I suppose you're right. even I have "standards" though not many. Pretty much I just don't watch something if its boring. It can insult my intelligence, have awful art, and be written like a fifth grader, but Ill watch it if its fun.
It's nothing to do with their collaborative nature. Games are not art -- they are games. Is basketball art?
I mean to say we're presently living in the future.
Or rather I want them to not be $400 so there can be mass-market adaptation so I can buy one.
