you're the worst!
I like things.
See, I get what you guys are saying, but for me it's hard to actually feel good about enjoying a show in this thread that's mostly associated with negativity.
I feel this sense of guilt when I watch it and this feeling like I outright shouldn't be enjoying it. I know this is silly, but this is seriously how I feel when a show I like ends up becoming this maypole of negative controversy in here.
I was going to respond to this post with facts from the manga and how the series evolves from this, but what's the point? I'm only going to be labeled as a MHA defender who can't take criticism. Why bother enjoying a show and talking about why I think it's good here if that's what I'm going to get from it?
It's like that time when I posted my opinion on RWBY. I made a long post about why I liked the show and wasn't defensive, mean-spirited, or hateful in any way. And you know what happened?
I got called a "RWBY stan", and someone here got angry that I took the time and effort to write a long post about the show in the first place. If this kind of behaviour is acceptable then why should I even bother?
--if it helps i mainly just throw people who dissent from my opinion into a personalised mindprison where i don't have to consider their opinions unless i feel like it
shard for example will never escape probably. lol. except when he's right
And in the spirit of disliking something that a bunch of people are enjoying!
Re: Zero 12
Funny how most of the negatives you list are my positives.
The new characters seem fun and I'm always for characters actually recurring beyond 'their arc'.
it's fun to talk about stuff with other people but at the end of the day your experience is your experience and you can pick and choose which bits of other people's opinions you let influence the way you take in any given piece of work.

Honestly, it sounds like you should quit reading this thread, if it causes such negative emotion in you.
Ninty, please just enjoy what you like to enjoy and don't let the opinions of others get you down. I mean, like me, you're a Nintendo fan, so I'm sure you've already had experience of being made to feel you've made the wrong choice in the games you play (which is of course nonsense since Nintendo clearly make the best games. Fact.), but at the end of the day, it's what you enjoy and whatever they think should have no impact on that.
Obviously I'm not perfect. I've berated quite a few shows which others enjoys *cough* Sword Art Online *cough*, but that's just the way a catchall thread for a whole medium is going to be, opinions on both sides. Heck, I just defended Pan de Peace, a show that would give 90% of GAF an aneurysm from the OP alone. The reason I do it is simply because in the back of my mind I know I'm better than them.
Just own it and flaunt it.
You really shouldn't let other peoples opinion sway your enjoyment of a show. Otherwise you would be disliking lots of things.
I remember people being negative over Kekkai Sensen saying it was boring and too episodic, but it didn't affect my enjoyment of it. Heck even when people labled Mahouka as trash which I won't argue. It was still enjoyable nonetheless.
Recently the anime Erased was considered garbage/trash because the later half of the anime wasn't on par with the first half. Which I don't agree and won't let opinions lessen my enjoyment.
You just got to realize this thread can be a bit negative but you shouldn't really take things to heart man.

Don't let other people control of what you like to watch. If you like a certain anime but quite a people don't like it, it's not that you have a terrible taste just some people don't like those show. Go watch the show you want to watch without caring what other people say about it.
Just think of other people opinion just as a grant of salt of what they think. You don't have to accept it and try to defense the show. Not everyone is going to like certain show which is the reality.
At the end of the day, just enjoy what you enjoy and don't let other peoples opinion sway yours, it's just not worth it for something that is done for fun.
Not everyone enjoys the same things.
I bet there's also stuff you don't like that others enjoy.
This.

Ask Cornbread. If post count is any indication he's the hero AnimeGAF needs.

But seriously Pan de Peace is the most stereotypical CGDCT SOL show I've seen. But because it's so on the nose it's rather comedic. It helps that each episode is so short because if it was full length it would be dire beyond belief since every episode literally just covers a typical plot point from a CGDCT show e.g. this is the episode where the two girls who didn't previously like each other now do. It's a show that shouldn't work but it does. That or I've lost my marbles completely.
Whats a cgdct?
Just watch a show and enjoy it. Don't look to others to confirm your satisfaction.
Shows will be critiqued, dog piled on, etc but that shouldn't hamper something you genuinely enjoy.
All this list shows me is I watch too much anime and need to play more games.
Now excuse me while I pre-order Star Ocean, download Grand Kingdom look up more stuff about Neptunia Megadimension VII.
I mean...you might as well say you feel bad for people who are unable to appreciate the latest flavor of Mountain Dew. Like their life is somehow incomplete because they cannot derive the purest form of pleasure from the latest market driven puerile treat.

I'm having a moment where I'm willing to spend money, I don't expect it to last long. Normally I'm a tightwad.So this is prosperity.
Already got it!Good call! My fellow day-1 brotha!
Hurry up on that decision for Neptunia, it's only on sale for a couple more hours...
This kills the Sabre.Play games? Where does one find time for that in between watching anime, discussing anime, and discussing games news. Which I guess is why twitch is so popular. Saves me the time of playing games.
Holy crap is Legend of Heroes Trails in the Sky taking over my life. I didn't think it would be this addicting and enjoyable.
The game made me stop my binging of Rakugo especially when I was enjoying it so much.
Already got it!

I usually only watch LP's of games I intend to get anyway. Never as a means to experience games I'd like but haven't gotten around to playing.
You know, the interestingly diverse critical reaction to MHA almost makes me want to watch it.
Then I realised that there's no point wasting my time on a bad show, or even a good show, just to have an opinion on a current hip anime. That's rarely a good reason to play the latest game or watch the latest movie.

No, not at all. I should honestly post much less than I do and I was trending heavily that way until this past thread. Previously, I had been down to # 3-5 for a few OT's, lol.... it's boosting from last year and this past season. Metroid and Hosann had been taking the reigns for the past few months...
Actually, below is the top 75 from the past year:

Huh. Maintaining my cultural literacy is why I make like 50% of my media choices.
I am number 7 on this list. I am Portuguese. Know who else is number 7 and Portuguese?
My secret identity has been found.
I think most of my posts came from the epic Spring 2015 thread with the SNAFU discussions.

Stop watching so much anime and score a damn goal already!

Thanks. Perhaps I am just getting too emotional over this stuff and I should just enjoy what I like. It's just that I've just felt this way about what I've watched for a long time in this thread and the more negativity I see about it the the more worse overall I feel.
I just long for the days when that negativity was so much easier to overlook for me due to how fast the thread moved at the time.

Sometimes, I feel like I really should. I just can't bring myself to actually do it because I have so many fond memories of this place from 2013-2014. Back then was when this community was at its best for me, and I want the thread to go back to those days.
Moomin is not anime, but it is moe.My tag, I'm not worthy.
A personal, rhetorical question about this. Did I join and become a regular here, while it's on the decline, or it's in decline because of me?

The former, don't worry, haha.
Man I caught up on MHA last night. Such a great adaptation of a great series. Still the second best currently running shonen action series, and the anime just delivers so well on the premise. Glad they aren't doing the original ending stuff, 'cause it means there's a chance of more! I hope. Maybe the final episode will tease a new season in classic anime style. Probably not, but hey, I can hope.
I was planning on picking up the manga after it finishes airing but I'm gonna wait for the season 2 announcement if it's that likely to happen.
AnimeGAF is always on the decline. Long time members leave (or are forced to leave) and new blood replaces them. Such is the cycle.
Which shows this season are getting a second cour?
To add to what Basileus posted, Bungou Stray Dogs continues on too.
