Yeah that's a good point, we're all accustomed to what we grew up with, which is why you see such a huge disconnect between both the old and new generations.

And Des Mangan.
I hope so. ^_^ It's just that I got bored out of my mind because it seemed like all they were doing is talking about something trivial, don't even remember what it was about.

Anime is like baseball and Nintendo. Always "doomed", but still trucking.
When the nuclear apocalypse hits, it will still be there. And probably the catalyst of it.

Lucky Star was once super popular, more then TTGL which aired the same season, at least among the people I knew.
How times change.

This is perfect, my knight.
I think I only watched two episodes of Lucky Star when I was young (around 13 y/o) and I gave up two episodes after. It's just not for me.

It helps that Aniplex re-released it on BD and promoted it alongside Kill la Kill, bringing new awareness while Kadokawa sat on LS and gave it a spinoff about 30 more minutes of footage. Out of sight, out of mind.

Time to release Lucky Star blurays to rekindle the lost spark.
it wasn't called the seinfield of anime for nothing
That makes sense because I didn't like Seinfield either.
For me that honor only goes to No Game No Life. I checked out at the loli cameltoe.
Lucky Star was dropped after one episode for me.
I endured 5 episodes for that one. At least it wasn't outright boring me to tears.

Bah, Lucky Star is one of KyoAni's best shows, or at least it's one of their best on my list... sure, I haven't watched much of their stuff in some time, but Lucky Star is a great show. It's very funny stuff.
The first half of the first episode isn't much like the rest of the show. I actually kind of wish there was more of that, but there isn't; it's a different show form episode 2 on. More otaku comedy, less ten minutes of talking about chocolate cornets.
That would be because Azumanga Daioh and Lucky Star are great comedy shows that are very funny beginning to end, while K-On is ... nothing. It's not funny, it's not dramatic, it's just ... nothing. Boring nothing. And nobody in either of those shows is even a fraction as annoying as Yui is.
Really, it's K-On that mostly ended my interest in KyoAni, they haven't been the same since.
So yeah, on my list, K-On is kind of bad, and Lucky Star pretty good.

inexplicably for me lucky star became enjoyable after 8 episodes. i would normally never give a show that long, but i didn't exactly have a lot else to do during my dumb part time job at the time
i think it was a combination of a change of directors and also me becoming vaguely attached to the characters.

Kadokawa hired Q-Tec to upscale them back in 2011. They're not that great, which is why people have forgotten about them. Funi did license the series last summer, but it's Funi, so expect massive delays.
thanks for clarifying how amazing k-on is with this

The "man-ime" term in there makes me cringe so much.Thanks for answering my questions from before everyone. Hopefully I didn't cause a shitstorm
Also, there's a new "anime is doomed" thread in OT so ............ yeah..........
The assumption that all modern anime is all "loli" too.
I know, I frustrate a lot of people with my taste on Seinfield. I swear I'm not just trolling for reactions!
woah a wild risette appears!

I'm not a quality nut and Funi's price points sit well with me so I am in eager anticipation. The only thing that could turn me away is if it's as a big of a screw up as how Viz handled Sailor Moon's release. I believe Funi also obtained Haruhi so they have a chokehold on a few of Kyoto Ani's older releases. Just waiting for someone (anyone) to license Hyouka now.
Even I found this absurd.

Never watched Seinfield, never will. Also, Cowboy Bebop is a blessing in this moe world.
i miss this anime ;_;
god damn, this gif is good.
Edit:
Anime is dying and its all our fault for praising Nippon with their gratuitous fanservice and pantyshots. That means you TUSR and Narag.
Best action movie in ages.

Basically,
Kadokawa rights to KyoAni shows (minus Nichijou/Hyouka due to niche interest in NA) = Funimation license
TBS rights to KyoAni (or any) shows (minus AIR/Kanon due to Sojitz issues) = Sentai license
Asahi Broadcasting rights = clusterfuck
Pony Canyon rights = Pony Canyon USA
That's pretty much how it goes with those exceptions listed
Your Lie in April OVA
I wished that it would of been something that happened after the show ends but the flashback is not bad.

It's about how Emi and Takeshi became rivals with Kousei. Then you have some scenes with Kousei and his friends where you can see Kousei change from kid into the robot.
It was bittersweet of the the glimpses of young Kaori because you know what ends up happening to her.

Well. Animelab finally pulled the pin on having a subscription tier for their streaming service.
Guess I need to take a closer look and see how complementary it is to my existing CR sub.
The comparison chart leaves me with many questions. Mostly in relation to how 'premium' relates to the beta period access.

I like to make jokes but even I know when to stop. (At least i think I do)
Niche says who? Funimation sucks.
and i'm glad!
i should really look at my animuz and see what long form i've really watched from the last few years. it's mainly been slice of life, healing anime or comedies now that I think about it.
I guess I'm just not in the mood for 'serious storytelling' very often (and shonen animes that run on tend to irritate me)

To be fair though, that'd go for pretty much any niche thing. It's not just picking on anime.
Like, if there was an OT thread about NASCAR, it'd also be 95% posts taking a dump on NASCAR. While a big Nascar fan would be upset and think to himself "Why, if all these ignorant people would just step into NASCAR-GAF and find out all of these amazing things about nascar and getting tips and info from us NASCAR-GAF people with encyclopedic knowledge about nascar... they'd realize how wrong they truly are. They'd embrace and love nascar just like me."
But that's not the world we live in. People take a glance at NASCAR, or a glance at anime, and note the obvious first impressions from the subject and either choose to get invested, or move on. That's not them being terrible people, it's just living life. Most people aren't going to go and take the plunge into a niche and gain super detailed knowledge about it and interact in communities dedicated to that thing and become divested of their "ignorance."

I'll just say that i really disagree.
I don't even know a anime serie with those "run of the mill " adult characters airing right now.. if i stretch out ( a lot ) , maybe BBB ??
But , hey , your right to disagree just , like my right to disagree with yours. i'll just stop there.
Yeah, I was honestly flabbergasted at that one.
MEDIOCRE.
You know the most annoying thing about lowest common denominator complaints in anime? Same stuff happens in American TV. There is a reason reality TV and CSI crap is popular while good shows like Person of Interest is barely hanging on. And yet people treat anime like it's the height of shittiness.
Here's the thing - when I come across a subject I know every little about and I know I'm not interested in learning more about it, I don't jump into the conversation and start spouting ignorant shit. I just don't participate. I've only watched NASCAR a few times on TV and it never held my attention for very long. I'm not particularly interested in learning more about NASCAR either. As such, I've never posted in a NASCAR related topic on GAF. People are under no obligations to give a single shit about anime. However, if they don't, it would be nice if they wouldn't pretend they have any idea what they are talking about or that their opinions are relevant.
I think I remember watching Cowboy Bebop when I was in grade school. At the time, I thought it was some kind of Lupin 3 ripoff but I still enjoyed it for what it is (though I don't really remember the story but I remember the characters' names). I haven't really gone back to rewatch it as I think I won't enjoy it as my tastes have changed. I also think the humor is a bit outdated.

Yeah, that's certainly one way to go about it. I think that's a bit limiting myself, for a discussion forum. I mean, there's threads sometimes where people post some breakthrough NASA experiment or scientific achievement. I wouldn't want to have it be that only people with PhDs can post in those threads. I guess I'm a bit more laissez faire than you when it comes to forum posting. *shrug*

Also, people tend to hate the things the love. People say a lot of shit about Dark Souls 2 but they still play it and like the game.

It's definitely not everyday run of the mill adult characters because we don't see that a lot so it's really not everyday. Though I'm not saying Anime doesn't have that because it does but it doesn't have a lot of it. But stil run of the mill hmmmm.
Cowboy Bebop is really unique and it's definitely not another run of the mill adult characters.
