I Rewatch the OP multiple times when we get a new episodes
I think the idea is that intellectual enjoyment isn't the only valid form.
Additionally that not liking something that's "intellectual' doesn't actually say anything about your ability to enjoy fiction at an intellectual level.
Or something.

No. Just no. I don't want to drop it in hopes it gets better but it's so damn close.

It's too awesome not to watch.
There's a lot of movement in that gif to appreciate.
Lots and lots... of movement... appreciate, yes.

And people voted Hyouka AOTY by a large margin because they liked it, not because the monocles forced them to.

Gintama 09
Nothing but visual pun gags, among other things (the worst kind of gags. My heart goes out to the translator). Still, we saw Gintoki handling something relatively seriously.
The Gin-sensei skits at the end continue to be the best parts, but they're like the cherry on top of a sundae of funny and amazing.

Corvo plz
I happened to watch through the entirety of Hyouka not more than 2 weeks ago and I liked it and had fun with it, in part because it IS a well written example of character development. Those two concepts are not mutually exclusive. I readily accept that Hyouka doesn't match what you're looking for in a show, but please don't assume we all view it through the same lens you do.
I took me some moment to realize that I have watched that for almost 2 minutes. That gif should be illegal! Its....hypnotizing!
Youll love it!
you are so adorable if I met you irl I would hug the hell out of you. Then you would say hanyan~ by reflex and I would hug you again.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
Never been so low on a WOS list before.
Yeah it definitely wasn't because I was going around threatening people with a sledgehammer. That never happened and my lawyer can back me up on that.

Here's an interesting thing about me.
I don't much care for intellectual anime. I did a bit many years ago, but not anymore. Not so much, at least, I like things like Kino's Journey and Time of Eve, though.
On the other hand, I don't like most fiction novels anymore. And I usually read books about non-fiction outside of manga. Political books, history books, science books, sociology books, books like that.
I don't think that someone's interest in anime reflects how "intellectual" they are. Usually when I want to watch anime, I just want to see something cute and funny. When reading something text heavy, however, I want to learn something. It's fun to watch an adorable anime and thenafter read a heavy book about physics. And it's also fun to, after watching an extremely adorable anime, to read a book about political science. I feel these things compliment each other.

While I am incredibly grateful that we were given this amazing kissing scene 5 mins into this episode, they also made it painfully obvious that Sio is developing feelings for that toolbag Adam "aka Jack the Ripper". It's one thing if she was liking him from the start and had her eyes on no one else prior, but when you tease me with the idea of her having feelings for Asao (not to mention the subtext) only to have her fall for a man I will not tolerate that bullshit. Dropped.

There's such a thing as intellectual anime? That's very surprising.
Sure, that's an entirely reasonable stance and I also enjoy things that are by all accounts "stupid" or artistically bankrupt. The insinuation that there's a mutual exclusion between "intellectual" enjoyment and "real" enjoyment is what I take issue with, especially when the idea that one of these is not "real" or "true" enjoyment feels like an attempt to invalidate it. Corvo insists that's not what he meant, it's just how I interpreted it.

There isn't?
Well, there seems to be a lot of anime that fans consider to be intellectual.
It seems like some of the most "intellectual" anime, are much less intellectual than most fans give them credit for, though.
There's at least a couple in the AOTY thread.
Well I mean the flow of the conversation was that Corvo hated everything about Hyouka, Brandy put forth that he didn't like KLK as a parallel, Corvo said KLK isn't regarded as some sort of high art, that statement was countered by saying it went #2 in the AOTY voting, which is what prompted Corvo's post. I think given the context it was clear he was making a distinction between why KLK was voted #2 and why Hyouka was voted #1 and pointing out that looking at AOTY voting doesn't make what he said any less true (from his eyes anyway).
I enjoyed this. Great work.

"Intellectual enjoyment" is just being used as a convenient catch-all term for enjoying something for technical aspects considered important in other forms of media critique like writing, direction, art design, etc. Basically, anything that stimulates the critical faculties. No one is labeling specific anime as "intellectual" or trying to start a "this anime is smart vs. this anime is stupid" argument for anything.
Any examples?
My favorite two animes are intellectual in nature. They certainly exist. However this sort of anime is usually pretentious and full of shit.
People will wring out intellectual interpretations out of any anime really. Hell look at some of the crazy things people come up with 'interpreting' KLK on some corners of the internet.

Infinite Stratos.
I enjoy a lot of things on both levels simultaneously. I like Gatchaman Crowds because it's an exploration of the unifying effect of social media and the equalizing of the masses, and the question of how superheroes fit into that mold when it's gotten much easier to talk to each other, as expressed through the show's unconventional art style.
It also has Maaya Uchida being totally cute and playing a hyper, busty heroine, which is just as important!

To be honest, I'm a bit afraid of starting controversy.
Oh okay that makes more sense.
Anyway, anime that try to seem "intellectual" usually come off as pretentious to me.
Bite your tongue sir.
The thing is that, "intellectual" translates to "full of itself" in the minds of alot of people with regards to a medium as immature as anime. For the most part they're right. Alot of anime that bill itself as intellectual is anything but and is nothing but a vessel for the author/director's intellectual masturbation.

Noragami 5
The girl is starting to stress me out and this would be a much better anime without her. Yukine seems to have a lot of potential as a Regalia but because he's tsundere the anime will result in Yato remaining relatively weak until the end. Next episode looks interesting with more of a central plot again. I wouldn't mind if what's her face disappeared from the show

Don't bring it up in the first place if you can't back it up.

Well, Lolipop Hiphop comes from one of the form changes for Happiness Charge Precure.
The one on the left.
Psycho-Pass
Toei's introducing form changes this year to Precure.
Cherry Flamenco, Sherbert Ballet, Macadamia Hula Dance, Popcorn Cheer and Lollipop Hiphop.
All while copying their own success with Aikatsu! and/or pulling a Kamen Rider Decade, depending on who you ask.
Clannad: The After Storying 01
Akio is still the best, nothing else matters.
Oh actually this matters: Since finishing Clannad I've started Gintama and now I can't unhear Shinpachi in Sunohara.

Okay but really this was a pretty good episode. Felt like one of the less dull S1 episodes.

Imagine having to watch both seasons with Shinpachi. Or watching Samurai Flamenco with Gintoki.
