If corporations are people there should be a corporate death penalty.

I was thinking of something a little more severe, to promote responsibility.

[Huff]

omg jack shut up you one note hillllary stan

[nudemacusers]

Dunno if this is unpopular but gantz is straight trash

[toku]

It doesn't really pretend to be anything else. It's mean spirited perverted gore.

[nudemacusers]

Well I've tried the anime and now the 3D movie and if it were good at those things I'd be all for it. But it isn't. It's the korn of anime. The bayformers of action movies.

[Kara]

mods, please change my name to "the KoRn of anime" tia

[Momo]

I wonder if they will ever animate the naked lower half only lady alien that does split kicks to show off her vagina. I feel like this is actually the least weird thing I saw in Gantz.

I'm beginning to believe that Evangelion is a dog whistle for people with mental illness. Someone who is mentally healthy will watch it and hate it, but people who have mental illness will watch and be like "Poor Shinji. I really understand him."

Well this is an exaggeration. Plenty of people like it without problems, but I'm sure there is plenty of truth to this.

It is for me. I can relate to Shinji in both his relationship with his father and his problems connecting with people. I watched it at a perfect age when those two things were starting to effect me and it was possibly the most relatable thing.

Then you add in the stupid lore, well written supporting cast, great art direction/design, and well directed action scenes and you have a good show.

The manga is also mean spirited trash, but it worked for me. The anime did not do anything for me.

[TakingBackSunday]

Here's my hot take:

I think the internet's nerd-rage towards La La Land is unfounded and at times petty and embarrassing.

[Mr. Nobody]

I'll listen to 95-98 No Limit all day over most of the glorified elevator music that was "real hiphop" from the early to mid 00s

[curly]

Evangelion is art and people who don't like it are boring normies

Unpopular opinion: It is important and worthwhile to continually point out the following -->vvvv

MIDI does not determine a sound, it is nothing but a protocol for digital communication between instruments, thus most casual references to "MIDI" on message boards such as this are incorrect

[recursivelyenumerable]

Eva is great and I refuse to believe that these supposed "people who are mentally healthy" exist. I assume everyone who pretends to be "normal" really just has a deeper mental illness they're concealing

[Kara]

The only character I understand and identify with in Eva is Pen Pen.

Also digital sound is not stair step and people who think analog is better tend to think so because of their misunderstanding of digital audio.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Is Evangelion on Netflix or something?  I never watched it and should see it sometime.

That's all very true, but come now, there are definitely varying levels of illness. Someone might have depression while another has depression so bad it cripples their ability to have any meaningful relationships.

people who were on the Internet in the 90s and didn't have a collection of midis saved are freaks

The idea that you think your opinions are good is perfect for this thread.

You are, however, 100% correct about MIDI.

Anime doesnt have a consistent form so if people say 'i dont like anime' I just take it like they dont like moe shit or that they have no clue what they are saying, depending on the context of whom is the speaker.

I'm too impatient for anime. Most of the stuff I've watched was super boring, with the exception of 2-3 shows. There are some (original) anime movies I've enjoyed though. But tbh anime just isn't for everyone.

This is me.  I can watch DBZ still mostly because of nostalgia and I enjoyed Akira and Grave of the Fireflies but I just can't sit through most.  My wife's cousin is constantly recommending anime and so are a few friends.  I usually give it a chance but it just doesn't hold my attention.  I had a friend visit in December and he tried to get me into One Piece 

Basically me saying "anime sucks" is the equivalent of me saying "country music sucks."  I can admit there are some good country music songs that I like but as a whole I just don't like it.

Except Hand Maid May.  That one is also great.

Heh I also remember downloading MP2s of all things.

I don't think it's any less valid than "Classical music bores me" or "I don't like horror films". Yeah it's a blanket statement but there's enough commonality or shared essential point through X% of the production that it can make some sense.

[Rahxephon91]

Actually I think you're wrong. You described genres. Anime is not a genre.

There is a world of difference between Ghost in The Shell Stand Alone Complex, Code Geass, Cowboy Bebop, and Clanned.

The problem is anime fans don't seem to understand that you may not like Clanned just because you like Cowboy Bebop.

Can you really think something like Jin Roh stands super close to The Lucky Star movie?

Also in my opinion Code Geass is one of the most entertaining "dumb" shows ever made.

[VomKriege]

Some people don't like "animation" or "comics books" in general .

[Rahxephon91]

And strangely I would accept that instead of being somewhat more specific. If can buy not liking the medium and I can even buy saying you don't like anime to a point. But at least when you say you don't care for animation, it probably has nothing to do with specifics just the fact that it's animated. When you say you don't like anime, it sounds like you don't like it because of some stereotype that doesn't apply to the whole thing.

You see the difference here is anime is a much wider genre than people give it credit for and certainly much wider than 'classic music' or 'horror films' it's closer to 'music' or 'films'. Not all anime is even drawn these days, which is why I interpret it as 'i dont like popular anime these days' , which to be honest is horrific garbage.


EDIT: I see you guys are talking about this already.

We should just automate Sales. I just don't see any  emotion, creativity, inspiration, or anything else that is worthwhile in keeping it a human job.

[chronovore]

Though I'm not a huge fan of the Kelvin-timeline Star Trek movies, I prefer Chris Pine's Kirk to Shatner's. Pine gets beat up, has clear motivation, and supports his bridge crew. Shatner always seemed like a goddamned cowboy who might feel bad after he got his friends killed.

Amazon's working on that for you.

[Momo]

Shatner Kirk is easy to understand when you think of him like an adhd sufferer with a serious case of fomo and a sex addiction. 

[I'm a Puppy!]

Shatner Kirk was more a caricature than a character.

Zelda 2 was a fantastic game in the top 5 Zeldas of all time.

[Momo]

There's only 2 (well 3) legitimately great Zelda games the rest are garbage.   

[Rahxephon91]

Zelda is overrated.

You're overrated.

The only way to stop this Marine sex photo scandal is for women to start sharing pics of men and laughing about their penises.

[Momo]

Dont quite think it's the same, as a dude if one of my exes shares dick pics, I cant give a fuck nobody is looking to see that anyway, as a chick, everybody is looking to see that. Male nudity is mostly looked at as humorous outside a relationship setting while female nudity is seen as sexual. Right or wrong, that's the state of shit currently.
