terminoob Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Looking back on it, I was a bit too harsh on Attack on Titan. I actually think it's been improving as of late. Sword Art Online wasn't great or terrible to me. I still enjoyed it even though it felt generic and short in some areas. I have so many problems with it. I thought all the characters were really poorly written and the initial concept was completely sidelined in favor of a relatively boring romance. Beyond one slip-up (maybe two) Kirito never suffered any consequences for the whole show and everything went his way all the time and if they didn't then he was always strong enough to make them go his way. Asuna was consistently said to be powerful but she never proved herself to the viewers and we just had to take everyone at their word - her entire character revolved around Kirito even though I know she could've been an actual character if she was given the chance. The pacing kept bugging me, too - I liked seeing the characters interact with the world around them, but it kept being more treated like a straight-up fantasy series because they very rarely focused on the actual game aspects. The boss fights we saw were cool, but they were all for Kirito. I would've loved to see Aigil, Klein, and especially Asuna get the focus in them beyond being distractions. And don't even get me started on that friggin' Alfheim arc. I have no idea what the hell they were thinking when they decided it'd be a good idea to do any of that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That...would make a pretty good expansion on my one line of criticism. Yeah, I didn't like the focus on the generic love story and the characters and actual game aspects fell short and called for a lot more development.

Dragonball Z Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 "Yu-Gi-Oh" is a really good anime that I am enjoying re-watching on Netflix. I've watched 44/97 episodes available on Netflix so far (as of March 29, 2015). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katniss Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I'm not a huge anime fan but I love Cowboy Bebop and Soul Eater. Sailor Moon was the first anime I ever watched, so it has a special place in my heart. Other series I enjoy are Hetalia, Azumanga Daioh, Full Metal Panic!, and Ouran High School Host Club. Recently I've been watching Nisekoi and Silver Spoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cha Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Gatchaman Crowds s2 is coming out soon and I couldn't be more stoked. It's just a unique anime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonball Z Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Does "Totally Spies!" count as an Anime? Because if it does, than that's one of my favorite animes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katniss Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Totally Spies was influenced by anime, but it was a French/Canadian production, so technically it can't count as anime. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyanideFishbone Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 After I finish Watamote, I'm gonna watch Soul Eater and Clannad. But Watamote has to be my favorite anime i've seen yet. Social anxiety is displayed masterfully in it, highly recommend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
