Oh shit, I forgot I wasn't supposed to reveal the fact I read TLR outside the manga thread.
Now we all know. You've been publicly outed as a bad person.

To be fair, it is filler.
Though to be SUPER fair, it's filler using some of the best characters from Groove Adventure Rave!

Too good a complimentary picture?!

Well, it can't be any worse than One Piece.

Idom@ster certainly looked pretty great.
The only time I've ever seen the Colour Designer's role mentioned was on a documentary included with the Ponyo DVD. In that they briefly interviewed a women who worked at Studio Ghibli (obviously) and discussed what her role was. I must confess, until that point I hadn't even considered how works ended with the colours that they did and how much work went into that role. Well, I suppose when it's not something like animation/storyboarding/direction/character design/background art you don't tend to think about it as a role.
For you maybe! I've noticed color design for quite a while. It's important.
Also, anime has pretty good color design on average. Much much better than color design in American cartoons.

Then you can watch the awesome sequel Fate/Stay Night produced by Studio Deen!

It's quite simple to explain Excel Saga, all you have to do is show them episode one. That will tell them (nearly) everything they need to know about the show.

Don't even joke about something like that!
I don't know if I can agree with that, or even judge it properly. Anime has lots of good color design, but also lots of terrible design with garish, thoughtlessly applied colors.
Someone stop this madman.

There's not too much to 'get', after all, the show isn't for anyone. Especially it's constant references to stuff from the 70's/80's!
Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works
Hmm. Well, I knew from reading about it and the fact that it was 108 minutes long, but this movie certainly wasn't designed for FSN newbies. Hell, not even casual FSN fans, they probably forgot the 80% of the story this movie left out.
At least the animation was fluid and I liked the detail in some scenes. And it had copious amounts of Rin, not that DEEN could screw that up even if they tried!

But I hate those guys in Rave.

Well, it's possible to ostracised from a smaller group than simply the whole forum. Of course, you had to say something pretty bad for that to happen, possibly involving your theoretical Daugherty.
On average.
The color design in American animation is terrible. There seems to be about three different stock color schemes and they all look disgusting.

So I take it you'd also watch something like Another Lady Innocent?

That's why I said 'nearly'.
I'm back in the world of anime, my countdown shall resume shortly, but maybe I'll do something slightly different!
Questionable fanart?

Aww yeah
Before you celebrate, maybe he'll ban a poster for each countdown as a sacrifice.
Well, I don't know how you can "average" an entire industry. Like, what is the "average" between Ponyo and Angel Beats? I don't know how to quantify that.
I think American animation tends to be more "safe" than anime, which can lead to it being boring. It's more homogenized and less experimental, but I don't really know how to compare "averages" of an entire industry.

I can appreciate that as the direct approach. No fooling around.
All for the grail.

Only those who dislike episode 1 shall be open for duckroll sacrifice.

The shows 'official art' is already pretty damn questionable. We've all seen that poster by now.
I can't be banned. Rider ordered me to live on, and post about his glory.

Or rather, how lengthy the production time was. As if they were ever going to get to two episodes while keeping Urushihara's designs intact. They're really not suitable for animation in the AT ALL.
Well with American animation there's no need for an average, because pretty much all of it is bad in the color department. Read some of John K's stuff about color in cartoons.
As for the rest of the stuff in your post: no

You know, you do have the freedom to stop watching shows that you don't like! We all do. But so few of us seems to want to exercise that freedom.

That's a really good that I hadn't considered, actually.
The story could probably have got a lot mileage and tension out of his character if no-one really knew what his motivations were. Alas.
