How fucking thunderous is your gait that it can kill puppies. Clearly OP's mom / dad / foster parent / LCSW never taught them about the consequences of being a bull in a china shop. (No speciesist.)

my brother stomps everywhere he goes, he also opens the fridge latching his hand to the handle and yanking with his shoulder and holds utensils like the monolith from 2001 very recently revealed them to him. If he ever is diagnosed with some kind of gross motor deficiency I won't be surprised.

Otaku thread still going.

I'm going to be straight honest, a lot of the anime people tell me to watch is tolerable up to the point where the fanservice kicks in or the humor just doesn't make an impact since I'm not 13 anymore. It's all repetitive hijinx too in terms of like awkward accidents, peep shows and shit.

 

I tried watching Kill La Kill because people said it made fun of fanservice but it's basically just hyper self-aware fanservice. I didn't really need MORE of it regardless of whether it's shitty satire or not.

The anime I tend to gravitate towards is 80/90s shonen or whatever it's called. The art direction and color spaces are way more interesting (it's usually post apocalyptic, dark, brooding) and there's just something about the atmosphere that makes my hair stand up on end.

I've been also wanting to watch Cyber City Oedo 808, how's that one.

Anyone telling you that about Kill La Kill just wanted to defend their soft-core anime porn.

Ping Pong the Animation lacks any of that fanservice garbage.

I would bet my soul that you would enjoy JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Kill la Kill looked like weaboo trash, Jojo is about flamboyant manliness and fun above all else.

Also lol at this "American problem" stuff they keep regurgitating, "animations are for children", there's been plenty of adult cartoons or cartoons with mainstream broad audience appeal

[Kara]

Watch Yowapedal.

It's about an otaku who becomes a jock.

[mormapope]

Also, the OVA's for Jojo that were made in the 90's are completely skippable. The anime adaption that started in 2012/2013 is the way to go.

That's how I felt about Kill La Kill. Also why is no one talking about how Toonami, one of the few means of being exposed to anime, is playing pretty cliched shit.

Kill La Kill was overhyped, I tried enjoying it as much as I could but the whole fanservice trope was really stupid. I had people telling me "it's part of the joke!". Yeah, like camera constantly zooming on T&A every minute is totally "humor" and not blantant pandering.

(oh and that implied incest scene was gross. fuck that, really soured me on the series further)

I didn't like KLK at first but it's grown on me a whole, whole lot by the time I finished it and even since then. Great series.

Not sure this criticism towards Toonami holds any weight.

Half of the block is straight shonen because that's what Toonami's always been. DBZ, One Piece, Naruto. You say "anime" in America and this is probably what comes to mind of most people.

That said, they still put some pretty niche (in the good way) stuff on like Michiko & Hatchin and Parasyte.

Actually the only boring, cliche crap on Toonami right now is Akame Ga Kill.

[Joe Molotov]

If you don't like KLK, maybe you'd find KKK more enjoyable.

I knew Kill La Kill was shit without even watching it. Just seeing gaffers fawn over it by posting some crazy ass gifs was enough for me.

I was a hater too. Then I watched it.

macross plus is one of those few things that i would recommend to everyone. castle of cagliostro too

I think KLK is a fun show, but there's no defense for its TNA. If you can't buy into it then well it's not a big deal.

Do you even know the difference between Anno and Miyazaki? You're not only mis-quoting but also taking said quotes out of context. If you think Anno hates anime, then you're sorely mistaken. If you think Miyazaki hates anime, then you are sorely mistaken.

Oh, but what's the point? This thread is already a graveyard and it's not the ones uninformed who get sent to ban land.

The Shield is way better than The Wire. The Wire is a great show but there's little to no substance when it comes to characterization, every person has a role and you see how their role influences or doesn't influence the city around them.

The Shield is all about characterization, with little to no care put into selling you on the legitimacy of organized crime in L.A.

[I'm a Puppy!]

I was never one to let a little TNA get in the way of enjoyment.

At least The Shield fanbase doesn't repeat the same memey shit over and over on the internet, along with The Wire's fans riding a character's dick till the end of time.

I'd rank many HBO dramas well above The Wire. Oz, Six Feet Under, The Sopranos, all way better.

Dear Not-Native Americans,

Supporting the censorship of an outfit's design in a Japanese videogame isn't going to make up for the wiping out of an indigenous people.

But whatever makes you feel better about yourselves. Just know that your hand wringing and self flagellation puts up the feeblest pretense of progressive thought.

Get over yourselves you bunch of self-righteous twats.

P.S. The responses to PixyJunket here are disgraceful. Where do you get off dismissing someone's opinion just because you disagree with them? Who made you the fucking authority on this matter? If anyone should be the authority here it's the person who ACTUALLY HAS Native American blood.

Stop taking offense on behalf of minorities. We don't want your second-hand pity, it's fucking embarrassing.

This is the hill that I choose to die on, Neogaf. Now politely go fuck yourselves.

I just realized how dumb I am for calling out some guy for spoiling an old movie when I asked not to be spoiled on an old TV show. 

[Kara]

You might like Ebichu, Devo. It deals with stuff like the place of women in Glorious Nihon and isn't afraid to skewer its male oriented popular and niche sexualities. (It was written by a woman shockingly.)

It's also pretty fucking crass though, but not in a way that would appeal to the .

Undertale is an okay pick but the following 'hipster 3' of Prune, a choose your own adventure book, and some FMV shit is where this ceases even being a top video game list and becomes someones bizarre agenda against seeming too "into games".

It doesn't. Its a terrible side effect of a show being good.

Just like how some people that like Breaking Bad view Walter as a hero. Doesn't affect the show, but its annoying as fuck.
