deeply and sincerely enjoying at least some anime you hadn't seen before throughout the year is more important than winning arguments on the internet about if a given anime is shit.

Average anime adaptations are okay and not everything needs the Ufotable treatment. Expecting single frames to have the same quality as entire one page spreads is retarded. As long as the quality doesn't hit disaster level biscuit hammer tier an adaptation is okay in my book.

>>281844481
I hate NTR and have no idea how or why anyone would like it. I wish it wasn't so prevalent because every time I see it, it ruins my day.
>inb4 just self insert as the bull instead of the cuck
No, I don't want that either. When I start talking to a girl and she mentions she has a boyfriend, I immediately back off and don't entertain the idea of pursuing her anymore, out of respect for the relationship, as I hope any other bro would do for me. I don't want someone else's sloppy seconds any more than I want my girl stolen from me, both sides are equally unappealing. Everyone should just marry one person and stay with them forever, and never even think about anyone else. I know this is unrealistic for the real world but it can be that way in escapist fiction so why not?

Bakemonogatari is awful and I hate that SHAFT put so much of their time and effort into it and it's various spinoffs.

>>281844481
yuri is trash and I'm tired of it being shoved into literally everything

Rebuild is EVA for dummies.
>>Shows that need hundreds of episodes aren't telling a good story they're milking you for money.
The quality of a story depends on its execution, not its length.
>>and modern anime in general has significantly higher animation quality than before.
Technology has advanced, directors' creativity has regressed.
>>>most of /a/ falls into shounenfags or larper posers who pretend they watch pretentiouscore and enjoy it
"If people like what I don't like they are pretentious" this explains your preference for the Rebuilds.

It's significantly better to read completed manga at your own pace than it is to follow serializations.
Too much of doujinshi is just ero; only a select few cult mega-hits (Touhou, Kemono Friends) seem to get anything else and even then they're drowning in porn. It's kinda sad.
Chinese/Korean stuff like webtoons can be legitimately enjoyable. Not the ones that shills spam on here, obviously, but I've come across some really nice stuff.
Also, more niche than unpopular, but shoujo/josei manga need a serious renaissance. Some of the all-time bests have come from old ('70s-'90s) shoujo magazines and many new great titles that would otherwise also be shoujo get shoved into seinen or shounen mags instead. The way it's gotten pinholed into plotless romance slop is disgraceful.

>>281844481
Most of the highest rated anime on sites like MAL are generally good. I don't think they're necessarily AS GOOD as their rating would suggest, but there are only a few anime with an average rating above an 8 I would call medicore or outright bad

Also, episodic stuff is good and shouldn't be treated as a lesser to serialized stories

>>281846819
>It's significantly better to read completed manga at your own pace than it is to follow serializations
I don't know if most people would disagree with this. But imo it is not practical to wait 10+ years for a series to end, and only then start it. And if "at your own pace" is binging a 20+ volume series in a few days, I think that pace is harmful to enjoyment and retention of information. But I see too often people chime in on a thread about a long running manga asking if it's over because their intention is specifically to binge it over a short period of time, when generally if they started reading now they would be reading it when it ended instead of just starting once it ended. So it's more I think waiting for something to end is impractical rather than thinking reading monthly is better than reading a few chapters here and there at your own pace. It kind of boggles my mind though if people think weekly content is still too much waiting though.

Now not wanting to read a series that gets axed and avoiding ongoing series due to that is another thing. But I think its kind of ridiculous to avoid all ongoing manga out of paranoia it will be axed.

>>281845727
>rebuild is eva for dummies
Rebuild is Annos vision. OG Eva was unfinished slop he rushed an ending for and crammed in random garbage because he was out of ideas. He's said in multiple interviews Eva had no deep or special meaning and it was written to appear pretentious. People like you aren't willing to concede on the point because you've been seething and defending it since the first good eva( rebuild 1) dropped.

>depends on the execution
There's 0 anime over 200 episodes that's good, and almost none over 100 episodes that has a well written coherent and well paced plot.
>creativity has regressed
Yes the dozens of tough guy or hyper violence anime from the 80s and 90s were real creative. We've had some of the best shows made to date in the last decade and plenty of shows in the 2020s that blow anything made pre 2010 out of the water, especially creativitywise.
>If people like what I don't like they are pretentious
I never said that but your literacy track record isn't very good so far. I said people pretend to like shows that are pretentiouscore to fit in. I guess the terminology went over your head.

>>281846819
>chinese/korean
This is unironically true. If you get past some of the more cringe entry level tropes, and beyond any solo leveling clones you can find things that are one of a kind genrewise. In the last 2 years I've went looking for a manga with extremely specific themes(not porn), but only found chinese/korean webtoons that suited the idea, read and thoroughly enjoyed them.

>>281847848
>the one with no meaning or vision is better than the one with meaning and vision
Outside of battle shonen I can barely even think of many anime with over 100 episodes, much less 200 episodes. One with over 100 that comes to mind is Monogatari, which I think is great, but that is largely separate story arcs involving the same characters instead of one overarching story.

It seems to me that complaining about these excessively long anime is focusing your attention on such a small set of series that there's little point.

the one with more anno must be worse.

>>281847977
Monogatari, Logth, and Jojo are the only shows that are well done and over 100 episodes, and 2 of those are told in self contained seasons rather than 1 long permanent story. If you say "outside of shounen" that removes the majority, but not all. Shounen IS the main offender for these types of series and when you drag shows on for this long there is no salvaging what was already a nothing burger of a plot to begin with. This is exactly my point. They're just being made to milk money and have no passion, soul or even a single thought behind them.

>>281845279
Cheating is morally wrong, but it makes for good drama

Berserk is only rated highly because of its art. Without it it would be an 8/10

>>281847848
Gintama is better than your favorite anime, point in case you are retarded

>>281844481
Gunbuster is mediocre

I hate what the community for HxH has become and I feel ashamed to like the series because I get associated with it.

>>281848562
I agree, but the ending when they come back to earth still made me cry and is a fantastic scene.

>>281847848
>Rebuild is Annos vision
Same tale is been told since EoE. Try harder

>>281844481
The people in this thread that are seething instead of posting their own opinions should leave and come back when they're over 18, and emotionally stable enough to talk about anime.

>>281848342
Everythung before the elf island disproves your point.

>>>281848342
what makes a great manga is both story and artwork

a great story with average art would be an 8/10

you need great story and art to be a 10 and that's why berserk is so highly rated

rating berserk's art and story separately is retarded because manga isn't judged on the same basis as typical novels

>>281844481
Mal is more useful than any JP ratings list, because Japanese people have an entirely different perspective on the nuance and culture that can't be viewed through a western eye. Being said ratings should never be an all powerful metric, and should only be used to find recommendations or avoid wasting 4 hours on 12eps of trash.

FMA and HxH are examples of great manga having good adaptations for the times they aired in.

>>281845227
I think you're missing the point if you think like that. As a Mizukami enjoyer (I presume) you should be aware that execution matters a lot and in many subtle ways. The Sengoku Youko anime was way better than the Biscuit Hammer one but it's still a huge downgrade from the manga and not worth it for a first time.

>>281849078
>>281848342
Berserk has decent character arcs up to Lost Children but a huge part of what makes it good is the power fantasy and the STRUGGLER shit, which is lost after Lost Children. The plot isn't very good after that either

>>281845128
>"pretentiouscore"
>TL: "I can't stand it when a scene has long shots, moments of silence, pauses in dialogue, or inventive usage of framing, colors, effects, or linework. I equate everything artistic labeled as 'arthouse' or 'European' with pretention because I am a low-brow high-time-preference midwit who doesn't have the patience to allow a scene or episode to play out. Everything must be in bright colors and direct speech for me to 'understand' it (I am intellectually incapable of true understanding). I cannot handle metaphors or allegories because the system has failed to instill a command of the English language within me. I am a dumb faggot please rape my face."
Stick to slice of life and NTR doujins, you spiritual negro.

>>281847380
I generally agree
but one experience that you can only get with an ongoing manga is discussion and speculation
there's just no other way to theorycraft and wonder how the events will unfold, you have to be in the threads at the time of publication

>not wanting to read a series that gets axed and avoiding ongoing series due to that is another thing
this, and I also understand completely if someone wants to avoid the risk of investing yourself into a story only for the author to pull a miura or even a togashi

Incest is garbage and just plain wrong

there's nothing wrong with waifu anime where a single extremely desirable female character is the center of the show and the reason people watch it. think uzaki-chan, bisque doll, nagatoro, etc etc

every season needs a dose of trashy romcom with pseudo/lite harem elements and mentally unstable characters.

Digital gradients look bad.

>>281844481
I'm more likely to drop an anime if it's 1:1 to the manga and doesn't make original changes

>>281847848
>Rebuild is Annos vision.
Anno literally made the Rebuilds just because he needed money to finance his other films like Shin Godzilla. Mari was specifically created to sell figures.

Solo Leveling, Chainsaw Man,Fieren,AoT and Akame Ga Kill were never good.

The original Shaman King anime was better than the remake and manga.

Rave Master is Mashima's best manga.

/a/ is way too obsessed with fanservice and nudity to the point where it seems like a lot of people only watch anime for that kind of thing. And that kind of thinking is damaging to the board. I imagine there's a large overlap with old good new bad posters too, which are another cancer on the board.

>>281855610
There is nothing wrong with only watching anime with fanservice and nudity or shallow escapism or any other reason and if you think otherwise it's because you're a self-centered pretentious fag with no taste or a censorship apologist.

>>281844481
I prefer YYH to DBZ

>>281855351
Mari was taken from one of the manga adaptions and manfa Mari was a reinterpretation of the titular girlfriend in Evangelion: Girlfriend Of Steel

NGE is overrated.

>>281856867
How are they even comparable?

DTB OP2 is better than OP1
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-PjhOWhx3Q

Digimon 02 is good.

Digimon Frontier isn't that bad.

Digimon Savers is overrated.

>>281859304
Digimon 02 was decent. I disliked the Digimon Emperor/Kaiser arc, but wound up liking Ken. Everything after the Digimon Emperor/Kasier could have been better, but could have also been a lot worse.

Agree with you on this, Frontier gets too much hate. First half was great, second half was awful, but the final battle and villain were good. How bad it was depends on if you think the first half and ending outweigh the second half's flaws.

I feel like Digimon Savers is neither overrated or underrated. A lot of the series issues are covered up by Masaru/Marcus being so over the top that he gets into fist fights with Digimon.

Monster is complete garbage
The story is a nonsense game of cat and mouse that wears the viewer's suspension of disbelief down to nothing before it ends

>>281856867
Dragon Ball was never good

>>281844481
There is no point in downloading anime anymore. Streaming sites are more than adequate now.
