Tigerruss 576 Posted August 9, 2014 (edited) *stops commenting about posts*Time to state all my potentially unpopular opinions about anime in one post.Attack on Titan is basically just a rehash of the Gurren Lagann idea with changes to make it more "dark and realistic". (that doesn't mean I don't like Attack on Titan, that's just what I think) click the spoiler for more details with spoilers. What are the connections?1) Humanity is confined to a safe haven. (underground in Gurren Lagann, behind walls in Attack on Titan)2) A theme of willpower with one of the main characters (This can be scoffed at, since most Shonen shows have that)3) A main character (and leader of the other main characters) dies near the start of the show.4) A main character gains the power of the enemy forces. (and in Attack on Titan's case, basically resurrects)5) The threat is manufactured. (or at least that's highly hinted at in AoT, and I wouldn't be surprised if it turns Gurren Lagann and have it originally for humanities own good)6) Armin quite possibly will take the path of Simon and surpass Eren7) The Hero being on trial Yeah, while they aren't identical, and can be seen as quite different. I am constantly seeing parallels in between them. (even if there aren't really any) When a not ecchi anime starts to go towards it part of the way in, it really feels degrading to the show. (an odd beech episode, or spa/bathhouse episode doesn't count) I just want what I am watching to either be ecchi or not ecchi, none of this wishy-washy flipping about. I just want consistency.I can't think of shows or episodes of shows off the top of my head, but I do remember occasionally seeing things that could have been written off as fan service done well. Where they actually made sense in the logic and physics of the show, they didn't obstruct the plot, and they didn't change the feel. Other times they do the compete opposite... D; This following opinion might be popular....Dear Japan, please stop making 13 (or 12) episode animes that are basically promos for your manga, thank you. (That being said sometimes I enjoyed them anyways, and they worked well as a promo too) I would like less lollies, or if there is a "loli" have her be there for a good reason. Or at least have an equal ratio of little boys and little girls. D: The smart, caring, beautiful, big breasted, airhead (honestly that describes them better than "naive" most of the time) should go away. Especially if they also have the cooking of death that everyone eats anyways. Though in a few cases I actually like that type of character, but in most other cases... WHY OH WHY DO THEY EXIST!?!? The protagonist's harem, these are painful to watch most of the time. (as I just said MOST of the time) I know this is unpopular here. Guilty crown was an average anime at best that had plot holes that make the story should have last only 5 or 6 episodes. Also Shu is a slime human that represents basically all that is holding humanity back, and in the end the victory that made everyone happy potentially held everyone back. I honestly would have rather had Light win in Death Note than Near. Shonen anime has too much talking in a lot of their battle scenes. And sometimes in shows like one piece, 2 minutes of their reality equals like 5-10 minutes of ours. (there was actually a time keeping piece in a scene) Sword Art Online for the most part doesn't feel like an anime about an mmo. It feels like an action "I WILL WIN BECAUSE I AM JUST THAT GOOD AND I HAVE THE WILL TO WIN!" show in a "mmo" setting. I haven't seen hack or accelworld, so I can't comment on those.But in my opinion Log Horizon had a better idea of what an anime about being stuck in a mmo should be like. (it even had some scenes of characters trying to figure out how to use their classes and skills to synergize) THOUGH while logical in the shows logic, I kind of didn't like the arc about restoring order to all the people that have been trapped in the MMO.Also that Log Horizon is one of those shows where people do clever things only to have it explained later. I feel that Maoyu is overlooked. Though I can't say it is underrated, because most people who I know that saw the whole thing enjoyed it. (though it ends at an odd spot and has no plans for a second season) Note: People commonly compare it to Spice and Wolf. So if you know what type of anime that is, this is probably a similar one.The first Fullmetal Alchemist was better than Brotherhood, at least until it had to make up its own ending because the Manga was still far from finished. I probably wouldn't have enjoyed Brotherhood if I didn't watch Fullmetal Alchemist first. But since I watched Fullmetal Alchemist first, not only did I enjoy Brotherhood, I possibly enjoyed the overall series more than the first series. Showing some events and then jumping back in time to show us how the series got there can be annoying. Especially if the series failed to make us care about the event, or when they have 6+ episodes before they get back to where they left off. AND THE SHOW IS ONLY 13 EPISODES LONG! >.>That being said, when done correctly it can foster intrigue and promote longer wading through more "boring" stuff to get to what you want to see.Edit: I didn't finish, but oh well, I guess the rest of my opinions will have to wait.

Sorry for being nitpicky, but it's .Hack, not hack. Aaaanyway... I like SAO. It's sure as heck not perfect, but I don't care. I can still enjoy it for what it is. Naruto Shippuden > Naruto. the plot was a lot deeper in Shippuden, and the characters actually developed. Speaking of Naruto, Sakura is a good character. In fact, she's one of my favorites. I can't stand Bleach. I could only get 20 episodes in before Ichigo started to legitimately anger me. I know character development exists, but I'm not sitting through 200+ episodes of cliche characters and fillers just to see the change. One Piece is too freaking long. I literally don't want to get into the series for that exact reason. Too much stuff happens, and I honestly don't want to try to comprehend it all. It's not bad at all, but... Holy crap, it's never going to end. I can deal with Naruto and DBZ because I really liked the characters and stories. Dragon Ball Kai > Dragon Ball. Dubs are much better than subs in my opinion. I'm actually beginning to not stand subs at all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DragonMaster 1,166 Posted August 9, 2014 It honestly saddens me that the common length of an anime is 13 episodes (or around 26 if it was lucky enough to get a second season). I just don't think that's an adequate length of time to tell a complete story*. I think that anywhere between 50-100 episodes is the perfect length to tell a fully fleshed out and complete story (the 26 or so episodes can be fine for a smaller scale story). After 100 episodes, it starts to get lengthy. Anything to the levels of One Piece is getting freaking ridiculous in length. *I can see this episode count working for a slice of life or comedy anime, but really, anything trying to tell a serious story would benefit from having more time. 2 Xiro and Reyn reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xiro 3,468 Posted August 9, 2014 SAO II should honestly be called Gun Gale Online, like seriously, they aren't in freaking SAO anymore. Also, SAO II is boring me even though I gave it a chance Actually, I believe that for the light novels, it's all Sword Art Online, with subtitles/volume titles. So I guess they just kept that for the anime. One reason why they wouldn't call it GGO or even subtitle it Phantom Bullet is because there's a chance they put in second arc, like how SAO Season 1 had Aincrad and ALO. That's my reasoning, anyway. SAO II looks better than the first season so far, but pacing is kind of an issue, so it takes a bit to get into the game. The AoT anime is, although deemed to be overrated by some, is still a pretty good anime. Now the manga, on the other hand, is where things start to go down a bit. Particularly in terms of story after the first season and character development for the three main characters (imo). The newer summer animes (Aldnoah.Zero, Akame ga Kill, Tokyo Ghoul, etc) need more love.

This. Although some anime can manage it with 12/13 episodes (Madoka comes to mind in terms of things other than comedy and such.) I think having 25-50 episodes (one to two 25 episode seasons) is sufficient (ex. Code Geass), although more wouldn't hurt (Not really unpopular but yeah) Soul Eater should get a reboot that sticks to the manga story. FMA got it and Kuroshitsuji got it too I think. On that note, I don't really like it when the anime story diverges. (Although this makes me worried about how the Akame anime is going to end.) If an anime is too long, just read the manga. A little bit of reading won't hurt. And if you're worried about music or whatever then just listen to the soundtrack while reading or something. But if the manga is "too long", then it's your call. Dubs vs Subs: It's more or less a case-by-case thing for me. When the option for either-or exists, at least. 2 Reyn and Shulk reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DragonMaster 1,166 Posted August 9, 2014 (edited) While we're on the topic of Soul Eater, I hated Arachne as a villain (I'm talking anime here, I only read one volume of the manga so far). She just did... nothing really. Unlike Medusa, Arachne never succeed in anything except have a bunch of really uncomfortable scenes with Asura. Heck, even with her machines enveloping the world in madness, it didn't really feel like a threat because it was obvious her plan was going to fail. Oh, and the part where it was revealed that Maka could turn into a scythe felt poorly done, it came with no foreshadowing then disappeared and wasn't mentioned again. Black Star is also the most obnoxious and unlikeable protagonist I have ever seen in anything. Edited August 9, 2014 by DragonMaster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They were more like soap operas rather than masterpieces. 2. Lee found Maka from Soul Eater annoying 3. Lee considers Kill la Kill as a Magical Girl show, because they all transform and call out their moves. Plus, the main character is a girl who has a supernatural being that guides her. 4. Lee believes that a anime just doesn't have to be from Japan. Bring in the diversity of animes. 5. Lee hates it when people call Sailor Moon childish. When really the manga (which was the true story) was extremely dark with it's destroying people's meanings to live, suicide happenings, genocide, worlds ending, and much more. 6. Asuna was a amazing character! It's not her fault that she was severely threaten during the 2end arch, which made her not in action.

People say Asuna's character was ruined in ALO, but it wasn't. Heck, she managed to get out of her cage and try to escape, and she found out Sugou's plot (that honestly could've had more importance but didn't). Pretty sure that's not doing nothing. Speaking of Alfheim, if you want to talk about characters getting ruined, talk about Sugou. Sure he had an evil plan, but obviously Asuna was more important than people's minds being controlled, for Kirito and for Sugou, and then Episode 24... *shudders* And almost Kirito in the last episode of Season 1. (Spoiler tags cuz you never know) I think Kirito would have been ruined if he had killed Sugou. I mean, yeah, he killed that one guy in SAO, but he was a killer himself and he almost killed Kirito and Asuna. Sugou enslaved a few hundred minds (which no one cared about) and almost violated Asuna (almost and virtually). Also, Kirito vs Oberon wasn't even a fight. It was just manslaughter.... or fairyslaughter, I guess. So yeah, I thought Kirito was better than that, and thankfully he didn't do the deed in real life. Now this part feels kinda rambly so I'm gonna stop here. EDIT: I kinda take back what I said about Kirito being above that stuff.

Lee apologizes if any of these made u feel uncomfortable ;( I just want to comment.1. I can see how one could have that opinion of Attack on Titan.3. I did not see that connection. Good job for seeing it.4.I mostly agree with this opinion. Though if it isn't from Japan, I feel it has to look like what you expect from anime. Otherwise it just is a cartoon or animation.5. I agree with what you said, even though I haven't read the manga, I have only seen some of the early Sailor moon episodes.That being said even something that feels aimed at a young audience like Shugo Chara (a different magical girl show) can be kind of dark. (though it is leagues bellow that of Sailor moon) In that show the antagonists literally stole dreams from people leaving them a deep depression where they don't have a will. While that might not sound as bad as killing someone, maiming them, or various other horrible things, it can potentially be worse. Living without a will to do anything and feeling like you can do nothing. That is almost like a living torture, without even needing anyone or anything to torture you.6. I actually like Asuna as a character as well, but sadly the story isn't letting her do much of anything anymore.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Just stating some thoughts about subs and dubs.There is no "the dub is always the best", or "the sub is always the best". It actually depends on the show to which was done better. Though sometimes the voices chose for the dub don't make sense or are just plain annoying. (sometimes that happens in the original cast too) Honestly one of the more annoying things about dubs is when the dubber is overzealous on censorship, but even some dubs that are heavy on censorship can still be good.For me it is easy to imagine the voice being heard say the words that are being read, so I don't mind subs. Also subs can help if you actually decide you want to learn Japanese. And while Japanese might not be the most useful language to know in everyday life, it doesn't hurt to learn a second language. (Note: I WOULD ONLY RECOMMEND ANIME AS A SUPPLEMENT TO LEARNING JAPANESE NOT AS THE ONLY THING USED)Though dubs are easier to watch with groups of people or while having conversations while watching. Unless if you are good enough at japanese to not even need the raws. But unless if you are with friends that can do the same, the dub is still superior. 1 Nora Valkyrie reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will never watch it, when I hear that name I just want to slap someone across the face because I hate it that much. I hate when people say a certain anime will be super popular, when it hasn't even came out yet. I avoid fanservice, ecchi, and harem like a plague. I like animes more if I have read the manga of it. (If it has one). I watch "unpopular" animes because they dont have fanservice. My Favorite Anime, Mekaku City Actors, I wish they showed Konoha more. In another one of my favorite shows, Uraboku, I wish they would have followed the manga....if they finished it. I prefer the manga version of Black Butler over the anime version. I could be considered a yaoi fangirl. However I do not watch yaoi anime. My sister actually forced me to watch Fruits Basket and Ouran Highschool Host Club.

Speaking of Digimon, I couldn't really get into Digimon Frontier (I think it was Frontier) because I was just so confused about the transforming-into-Digimon thing. At least until someone better explained it to me 1 littleTSUBAME reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least until someone better explained it to me Yeah. I couldn't get into Frontier due to the concept of Spirit evolution. Never liked the fact they technically never had a partner Digimon, but just fuse with spirit Digimon to become a Digimon themselves. (Like Season 3 megas, except Frontier tweaked it badly imo) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emrys 3,192 Posted August 18, 2014 opinions huh? alright ill add my 2 cents. Fate/Zero is the best anime to come out of japan. Excalibur from soul eater is the greatest anime character of all time and I would love to try his 1000 provisions. pokemon games are good but the show is shit RWBY is the greatest anime of all time ( I will ignore any comments against this so don't try to be an attention whore and try to even counter with an argument) that is all 1 Nora Valkyrie reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Meh, why try? - It's not fair to compare anime styles to mainstream animes, like Naruto, One Piece, Bleach, etc - Free is something that any straight guy should avoid .-. - Hare + Guu is actually very underrated - Fairy Tail is actually pretty good - As much as I like Dragon Ball, I can't help to think that it's overrated. Sometimes. - Naruto is definetely overrated. I really like it though - I can't get through One Piece. I just can't. - It's sad that Gintama isn't that well known around the general fanbase. It's a really good anime - Kochikame is another underrated anime. - Code Geass will make your eyeballs cry to death ;~; Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Think Pink 1,967 Posted August 18, 2014 I just couldn't get into Gurren Lagann. I just don't think the plot's any good, I was bored watching it, and overall it was just blech. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
