Quote from Jutsu

Oh yeah, sorry, I meant Akira. I suppose that sentence was tangential.

Anyways, I critically analyze just about anything I watch. But my standards "what index would call, filthy casual" all stem from whether I'm entertained or not and I try to keep it simple. I like to approach each show with a clean slate and open mind. And I try to understand the perspective of the target audience. This gives me a wider range of enjoyment. I found myself watching the first season of One Piece shouting "FUCK YEAH, FUCKING RORONOA MOTHER FUCKING ZORO". Because I didn't go into it expecting it to be as good as Akira.
Some people think Trigun is a bad anime, but if you go into it realizing that its budget was minuscule it's absolutely amazing. You can see where the animator had to cut corners and use cheap tricks, but when it counted the quality was there. It was a product of real passion and it's no wonder why it's such a well known anime. Especially that intro, fuck yeah.

Anyways, this helps ensure that I know I dislike anime that are only genuinely bad, like shuffle. Some times I just have to acquiesce that an anime or genre isn't my style. Like most harem anime for example.

Quote from Jutsu

It doesn't HAVE to be an argument, man. Why argue about something that's totally opinion?

The whole wild goose chase was to show you that you'll just argue about anything that doesn't line up with your opinion.

Quote from Youwishjellyfish

Because we're having a discussion and we disagree on a point. Because discussing point with someone the disagrees with you, rips your argument apart, makes you see something in a different light is sometimes fun. Just because I consider something to be an argument doesn't mean I'm out for blood, it's just a debate.

Quote from Youwishjellyfish

Yeah, because we had a discussion like that before, and it was great, but for some reason now we're at each others throats. Should I just not try to have the type of conversation with you? You don't seem to want it, and I think it would avoid some frustration. Is that what you would prefer?

Cool, post to you're heart content and I won't challenge your opinions.

Sorry for hounding you for an argument that you never wanted to take part in. That was my misunderstanding.

Quote from Youwishjellyfish

That's a fair point, so I'll pay that. But I still don't see why a alternate universe is so much more original than a game universe. You have endless possibilities with both don't you?

Not when you start introducing RPG elements.

I don't mind. But does this mean that you hated Claymore?[/QUOTE]

Quote from Jutsu

I was going to make a comment about how it's okay for people to like shounen, because their top three list of anime titles don't all have to contain the phrase "monogatari". But I deleted it feeling like it was too much maybe.
