Yep. Cheapness and Toei Animation go always hand-in-hand!

Cheapness or artistic vision?

 

[rhizomatic]

"Romance", yes. "Old-school", I don't really know. I've been out of the loop for 15+ years, so those are my references.

Romantic, charming and well written anime, without any form of vulgarity or "fan service".

You would almost certainly like Sakamichi no Apollon.

It's set in the late '60s in Kyushu, and is about jazz, romance, and friendship. Especially the jazz, but I like the romantic subplots.

The direction and music are quite good as well, thanks in no small part to Shinichiro Watanabe and Yoko Kanno.

Some of the best artistic vision is born out of cheapness.

That's what Osamu Dezaki was all about.

All I know is that Light Novel is a synonymous for shit.

 

[cajunator]

Why?

Because, that's why.

I don't think this thread is impenetrable enough. It moves too fast and is filled with community specific-slang but as long as we've got a vestige of the English language in our lexicon we're still being too outsider-friendly. You guys have to work harder.

We should all introduce random Japanese words in our posts to make them look like we actually know what we are talking about, like animesuki. Wouldn't that be sugoi?

:kurita = 3D <3

forget gaf mentions.

At work yesterday i was discussing next-gen consoles with my friend and I mentioned how I will get a PS4. he asked why and I gave him some valid reasons.

Then he replied with "so you're not a Sony Pony then". Instantly I thought TOMAT! and asked him if he was a gaffer. He said he wasn't and he knows about it because it's all over the Internet.

Now there's an animegaffer who's made a global impact on society!

The Animesuki community doesn't really do that from what I've seen there, beyond standard terminology used by all anime fan communities including here.

A similar practice that does take place here that annoys me is the propensity to post impressions of non-Japanese works under their titles read in katakana, or straight out run-through-Google-Translate kanji, and using faux-Japanese names and suffixes for the characters. There's really no reason to that besides making discussions that much more impenetrable for the sake of "irony".

I'm pointing out a perceived problem without offering a solution or improving the level of discourse. Apologies.

The solution is obviously to use proper, understandable English instead of reducing everything to shorthand slang, but that would be too much to ask of the Internet.

Well I wouldn't really attempt to stop people being people, that's an exercise in futility and frustration.

Which is why we should eschew the "anime" schtick and just talk about animation in general!

It's too much to ask from people even offline. I feel pain everytime someone says OMG out loud.

OMG is nothing, I've seen people actually say L O L -_-

It really was perfect. Feels wrong to see kayos without it now.

Can I use proper, understandable Portuguese instead? Eu gosto mais dessa idea. And by proper I meant lazily punctuated because I still haven't learned how to do that with a slovenly American keyboard.

This seems too enterprising for me.

Dammit I did the quote wrong now I look like an idiot.

The English should be "What is your FUNCTION in life". Anyone who got it from the misquote is extra cool ~.~
