The problem with slice of life is that once you've seen one of them, you've seen almost all of them. That's a big problem with a lot of the anime tropes actually. Either way, because of that, Azumanga Daioh is the king of that genre for me.
Also, Black Lagoon is the best anime you nerds!
Not necessarily true. The problem is many great slice of life anime (or even anime in general) are buried/grouped together with other not so good anime. I cannot blame others for that...
I mean, look at Toradora, Danna ga Nani, Non Non Biyori, Barakamon, Usagi Drop, Kimi no Uso, and others. Many of those have presentation of another generic anime, but darn the contents are good...
Also guys, Let's watch Plastic Memories together! The series got mad potential.
Avatar: TLA is pure Shonen anime. The character achetypes, the choreographed fight scenes, the training/powering up, the continuous story arcs rather than episodic things seen in westerns.
Not defending the shitting netcode... but it does show that the market will reward the developer if they at least try to put a lot of effort in making their game feel new in gameplay and especially presentation.
12+ years ago, the developer mentalities of Tekken and MK were switched and that was when Tekken would comprehensively outsell MK.
Sorry bro but not at all... How many arcs does ATLA have? One (Defeat the Firelord). Aside few episodes that matter plot wise, every episode is standalone which you can cut and the plot will still go (you can't defend this especially with The Great Divide). Not that it's bad (because there is alot of character development which makes it awesome), but it's definitely not Shounen style story telling
This guy knows. I like Planetes as well.
MKX still having shitty netcode in 2015 is unacceptable. Of course they will make big money off this release anyways so things are going to continue as they are. Just depressing.
Not really. In a marketing sense, if I'm a developer, why would I improve the netcode if that will cause my potential customers to get pissed off when going online and get whooped hard in the process?
The thing is, AAK got a half a cookie when acknowledging that aesthetics matter, but it's not only that.
The goal is to entertain people. Aesthetics do that, the story mode do that. The easy mode paytalities do that. The X-Rays do that. You want to make your players feel good. Does making those same people fight over someone in an online match and realize they suck help that goal? Currently, no...
I got bit by the One Piece bug, watched 500 episodes in an unhealthy amount of time, got burned out, and haven't watched anime since. Although, I do have fond memories of One Piece, Sailor Moon, Monster, and Clannad. Oh, speaking of Clannad. I would really like to see a Clannad challenge carried out, asking anyone if they can watch it all the way through and never cry.
Oh, btw...

Yeah, still doing Tag 2 online tournaments.
Clannad AS? Try watching Anohana...
lol, no fighter seems to do everything well, every fighting game on the market lacks in certain areas and shine in others, no one wins.
Pretty much lol
