Ohohoho. You obviously aren't familiar with the fine work being produced in the field of sound art!
The relativists have won. We'll soon all be marrying toasters and lamposts.

Bring your thoughts and your reasoning and we'll discuss.

She was an accident!
Everyone that posts in this, the manga thread, or the toonami thread has shit taste. If you post in two or more of these threads your taste is double the shit.
It still amazes me how these real places capitalize on anime. The fact that the train station in HanaIro changed its name to fit the anime is my favourite thing ever.
That terrible moment when junk-anime-GAF finds out that PrecureGAF isn't his, but that INT-anime-GAF was sleeping around.

That seems much less romantic than the anime made it. lolYeah. I visited the Tamako Market market and they had posters everywhere:

wow who posts in all 3. What shit taste they must have.
.What if you post in all 3.

This wouldn't happen in Vanilla-animegaf.That terrible moment when junk-anime-GAF finds out that PrecureGAF isn't his, but that INT-anime-GAF was sleeping around.
Look, as much as Precure has crafted plastic peddling to a science, it is by no means new or noteworthy in its existence. Like I tried to edit in, Ojamajo Doremi also based whole seasons on marketing strategies, but what made that show so damn good was that the people behind it insisted on making things work regardless. You also mentioned MLP, and that show also tried to make something worthwhile on its own merits despite ultimately having to market toys to kids. I feel it's not as successful at this than Doremi, but it's still the same point. Even Sailor Moon, which is based on a manga with no original need to peddle, was influenced by a genre that pushed toys to boys, and was ruthlessly exploited for merchandising regardless.Yes, you mention it, but I think you can go into great detail about how hard it pushes the cards onto the girls. Especially the collectable nature of them, and how girls need to get all the cards in order to get super powerful like the characters on the screen. I mean, at least with wands, parents just need to buy one thing and hopefully distract them with it. I have to imagine these cards are sold in blind packs and that they are an endless source of addiction.
Honestly to me it's kind of silly to stick just with Toonami/Adult Swim for anime nowadays. They were a great option for those that didn't mind (or actively wanted) dubs and didn't want to buy up tons of DVDs while still watching legitimately, but now with the likes of Crunchyroll, Neon Alley, Hulu, even Netflix it seems kind of pointless to stick just with them. But to each their own I guess, and maybe I'm missing something (not wanting to subscribe to those? Though outside of Netflix they seem to have free options typically.)Toonami-GAF is more or less at the mercy of the showrunners at Adult Swim so they get slim pickings for anime. Considering how desperate they are for the afterschool Toonami days of yore, it's no surprise that they have pretty low standards for what's acceptable as a "good show", e.g. Deadman Wonderland, Naruto, Bleach. The really good shows they have are all retreads of old stuff most people here watched ages ago like GITS, Cowboy Bebop and Fullmetal Alchemist. In contrast, just last year we had:
Space Battleship Yamato 2199
Uchouten Kazoku
Aku no Hana
From the New World
JoJo
Gundam Build Fighters
Silver Spoon
Girls und Panzer
Monogatari S2
Wolf Children
Little Witch Academia
Garden of Words
Not a spectacular year but more good shows than Toonami has had since its reinstatement in 2012. Is it any wonder that the people over there look at us as elitist snobs because we're not enjoying the same things they are and really, regularly shitting on popular stuff like Deadman Wonderland and SAO?
Geimu offu Stronsu is very anime. It's the SAO of live action TV.I'm amused at just how much Game of Throne/Song of Ice and Fire discussion cropped up in here.
If you are a dub-only guy, then your options are much more limited. You can never really keep up with Japan, for one.Anyways:

The presence of this element isn't even worth talking about. It's only when it's egregious or when the show doesn't bother to try to be anything else that it deserves close scrutiny, and the whole point of my introduction was that Happiness Charge Precure was doing things to put itself above the "mere peddling" distinction.

Also, do you have a photoblog somewhere collecting all of these?
But I could be following you on the instagramz or whatever it is the kids use. lolNo. I'll do something when I got better time/get home. Too busy sightseeing now![]()
Even more than Pokemon, which was also an anime that literally told people to "catch them all".
Which is my whole point! That it has to sell something to pay the bills is easily forgiven if it can provide quality entertainment otherwise. It doesn't always have to get in the way.MLP and Sailor Moon and what I've seen of Doremi felt much more genuine about trying to tell good stories that happened to take place in a toy universe. Sort of like how the Lego movie doesn't explicitly mention the Lego movie toys even if that's probably a huge part of the business.
Ah, go figure!
And is the K-On school still a closed school that exists only for K-On tourism now? lol
Come on, you're telling me you don't see a difference between SM/MLP and the Precures in terms of how hard they push the merch? Is it really just on me?Which is my whole point! That it has to sell something to pay the bills is easily forgiven if it can provide quality entertainment otherwise. It doesn't always have to get in the way.
That's on you, then.
Ash was fighting the system all along??Not really, going by the anime you're supposed to release them all.
The anime was actually working against the base product.
Yeah, I saw that on another blog. I'm just surprised that it's still there, given that K-On is pretty much all but done at this point.The original school that was there moved to a new building, and were going to demolish the old one until K-ON! came along and made it an Otaku tourist spot.
MLP is much worse than SM, if we're making relative comparisons. What I'm doing is arguing relevance.Come on, you're telling me you don't see a difference between SM/MLP and the Precures in terms of how hard they push the merch? Is it really just on me?
Of course, it is interesting how Precure makes a point to have merchandise prominently displayed and used in such a way where it's clear how kids can do so themselves.
The relativists have won. We'll soon all be marrying toasters and lamposts.
Yeah, it does. A lot of the small details in the anime are taken from the real school.Wait, the K-ON! school is a place? Does it have the marble turtles all around?
I guess I could just scrub through all that.Of course, it is interesting how Precure makes a point to have merchandise prominently displayed and used in such a way where it's clear how kids can do so themselves.

And that took an entire episode to do nothing but peddle it. The episode was shit, and there's no excusing it.Love meter.
I'd imagine I'm far more familiar than you with how merchandizing works overall in Precure, which is why the mere existence of collectible cards doesn't strike me as particularly disturbing when I know how vigorously it pushes other things you might not be as personally adverse to.I guess I could just scrub through all that.

Tyrian is Kirito.GoT is practically already an anime. It already has teenage heroes, CGI dragons, magic, incest, people coming back to life, sword fighting, an ancient order tasked with the defence of the world against an ancient evil, etc. It just needs know, to be animated. A minor detail in the rand scheme of things.
I will say, every iteration of the show I watched after I watched Smile just felt really bad. It's just that CCGs are extra terrible.I'd imagine I'm far more familiar than you with how merchandizing works overall in Precure, which is why the mere existence of collectible cards doesn't strike me as particularly disturbing when I know how vigorously it pushes other things you might not be as personally adverse to.
They did just release the Box set of the first season as a 5th anniversary. Let the milking commence.Yeah, I saw that on another blog. I'm just surprised that it's still there, given that K-On is pretty much all but done at this point.

I'm not an agitator in favour of a separate thread or anything, but your arguments here don't make much sense.
The people who'd decide such rules would obviously be the moderation team, and they'd set up rules regarding post quality. What said rules might be are open for debate, I posted an example of a list earlier from a very popular and important TV Forum. The idea of "What constitutes good posting" already exists and is part of NeoGAF, so it's not a particularly wild or impossible to enforce idea.

So, who is Brienne?Shouldn't that be Jamie? Perfect swordsman. Fucks his sister. Has to do stuff that "he doesn't want to but is wicked awesome" for his country.
