people tell me to watch School Days

@MoogSourceVermona  
Imagine a black pit. where all energy, imagination, creativity, and joy go to die.

@SquiggyBomb  
beautiful  
10/10  
5 stars  
greatest animu ever

The first half of SOA is decent and the ending was pretty well handled (Then the second part came out…)
 
School Days I like the mean spirited jabs at the highschool genre (This coming from a guy that like School Rumble, Azumanaga and Sket Dance), that’s just my sick sense of humour.
 
The worst animes I’ve seen are usually not because they are bad, but because I couldn’t feel anything for the characters when I watched it, I had no investment.
 
One would be Attack on Titan: The animation is beautiful, the music the same, but the atmosphere is too depressing and in no way did I ever felt like rootting for them because the anime doesn’t make a point in saying “This is mankind’s counterattack!” but more like “This is the last humans alive and they will die eventually” (The manga on the other hand is more optimisstic overall and who knows, maybe Season 2 will change it)
 
Now Eiken, Ikki Tousen and Master of Martial Hearts… I don’t think I have to say anything else

@QuasarNova  
AoT is the most overrated thing to have come out recently

@MoogSourceVermona  
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks so. Seriously, everyone in that show was either an incompetent moron or a horrible asshole. None of them had any real personality save for Armin.

Speaking of.
 
This anime deserves more love!
 

@QuasarNova  
I read a few chapters of the manga. That’s about all.

It’s been a while Since I’ve watched Toei Mazinger

@SquiggyBomb
 
The anime is pretty damn funny, specially the voices, you just know all of them are having a blast on this one.

@SquiggyBomb  
Armin was too whinny

Has anyone here watched any anime from The 70s/Early 80s?

And let’s talk about Cowboy Bebop. Will these nostalgia blind assholes shut the fuck up about Bebop. Yes it was good, but it has been surpassed in many ways by a lot of modern anime. I’m sick to death of these fuckers always saying “Bebop is teh greatest evar.”

@SquiggyBomb  
people think that Bebop is the greatest thing ever still?

@MoogSourceVermona  
Yeah, For most people, It’s also the only anime they’ve ever watched

@trashboat  
wow

@MoogSourceVermona  
Yes! And it’s getting to a point where it pisses me off.

@trashboat
 
Science Team Gatchaman (G-Force to some), Astroboy, Doraemon, Kinnikuman (Kid Muscle for some), Akira, Grave of the Fireflies.
 
 
@SquiggyBomb
 
The problem with Getaway animes is that while they introduce newcomers to the Genre, they also put in on a pedestal and overhype it to the point where anything that series did ends up buried.

@QuasarNova  
Akira and Grave are Late 80s, Also, You mean Gateway
 
What’s you favorite anime? Mine’s Giant robo

@trashboat
 
Favorites a ton, but if I had to narrow it down to my top 5, it would be this:
 

@QuasarNova  
Unless you’re counting the OVAs, Getter is a manga, Not an anime

You know what series desperately deserves an anime?  
 
Otoyomegatari by Kaoru Mori.

@SquiggyBomb  
While we’re on that topic
 
Five star stories deserves one as well (If Only Nagano wasn’t such an ass)

@SquiggyBomb
 
Those freaking dresses…
 
@trashboat
 
I don’t think I need to add the New right?

@QuasarNova  
This is the anime general, Not the anime and Manga general
