I haven't watched any of those and wouldn't even look at them if my life depended on it.

If we Clockwork Orange'd you into watching Haruhi, I 90% guarantee that afterwards you'd come out saying it was not bad or better. Can't speak for Angel Beats. Haruhi clothes itself in a moe slice of life exterior, but once you get inside, you see it's much smarter and more subtle than that (though Haruhi herself, like AOS-, is anything but subtle!)

[Cano]

Yeah, I know, I've read the exact same thing in a lot of places. I don't know if I can stand it if it looks like that, for such a long run.

[jeffgoddin]

Well, it seems to be stylistically 180 degrees away from what you go for, so I can understand that. There are some things I just can't stand for what to others may seem to be incomprehensible reasons (like AC/DC music, hate it), but that's just how tastes work. Still don't like AC/DC.

From the way I see it, you don't have to "like" it, you just have to not "dislike" it....

I still dislike modern pop, but after hearing it on the radio enough times, I don't dislike it as much, but I still will pick other things to listen to given the option.

To relate that to Anime, I dislike older shows because the art is aged and colours are faded compared to what we see now... but I've watched all of NGE, and I lived with it...

[nk4e]

Watch Barefoot Gen or Astro Boy.

[AOS-]

Actually, Initial D looked worse than NGE, but my point remains...

[Loliblade ver2]

I'm probably going to watch some NGE now. A little drunk and I don't feel like going back outside and hanging out lol. Fires are fun.

Anyway, how's everyone's night? /makingthisachatthread

[nk4e]

Good, is anyone on the stream?

[Sly Guy]

I shoulda gone and bought more beer or something lol.

A correction to what I said to Cano and LLB... the BRS OVA Sequel was "planned" for, not "confirmed", this was tweeted on 11/14/2010...
and Goodsmile Company President is eager for it.....not the OVA producer! *foreshadows merchandise I hope*



... I still want an OVA, not because I want to see something worth watching, I just want the merchandise that follows... Insane BRS & WRS..

It's not only the graphics. I'm ABSOLUTELY SURE I'll find most of the characters annoying, the overuse of typical anime expressions and stupid comedy gags annoying, the voices of the characters will absolutely drill my brians, the typical plastic pop music will make me cry... It's like the absolute contrary of what I look for in an anime.

Yeah, it may have a good story, but by golly, if I only wanted a good story I'll go read a book, which doesn't have any of the annoying elements mentioned before. If I'm gonna like an anime, it better have ALL of it's elements, or at least most of 'em, well put together.

Happened with Madoka, I know. But it was 12 episodes and the characters weren't anoying (mostly), there wasn't stupid comedy not overfeelings, the story was very good, music was by Yuki Kajiura... you get the picture. It was a very atypical anime. Haruhi seems to be all the trash I dislike, wrapped in a more or less promising story. I'll pass.

And I won't even talk about Angel Beats.

And I won't even talk about Angel Beats.

Good decision There's a bigger Angel Beats fanboy in here than me. I'm still amazed how he became such a huge huge fanboy of Gosick.....




But yeah I totally hate high-pitched baby voices..If Yui wasn't the vocalist for HTT, I'd have liked the band, but nooo Yoko only gets to shine in the EDs.


The typical comedy gags are indeed typical, but I'm lenient on that since I grew up watching anime with that stuff...

[Sly Guy]

Yeah for mostly the same reasons, I don't like watching old anime. Only a select few for nostalgia purposes, but I just like the newer stuff since the quality and art style has improved.

fixed, unless you meant "video quality"

[Sephy]

The video quality of newer anime is so much better however some of those older shows just can't be beat.
