Thanks for the Simulwatch threads Zorak, it got me to watch The Tatami Galaxy, which was good.

It's like Old GBS: boring rote threads for whatever is currently on the television, no humor, lots of complaining about other people's opinions like an even shittier Debate and Discussion but for children's cartoons. I tend to feel the opposite way; I think there's too much "humor" (shitposting) and not enough real discussion.

Discussion is cool but lately it feels like more and more people have been quick to get legit mad about anime opinions instead of wanting to earnestly have a conversation, which is significantly less cool.

I get what you're saying, but I don't think shitposting is the opposite of madposting; I think passive-aggressive shitposting raises the temperature sometimes.

I'm not sure how someone can say that ADTRW was "over-moderated" when Zorak himself admits that his heart hasn't been into it and that he's been focusing on real-life work for a long while now. That still doesn't mean that posting "lol anime *fart*" in lower-case every single post is the One True Way, though.

Oh man, someone didn't use proper punctuation when typing out their thoughts. I guess this person is a loving troglodyte who doesn't contribute to discussion. Now, if you'll excuse me I have to post my College thesis on why the fascist implications of Kill La Kill are so apparent and how I am super correct about the next Attack on Titan death.

for real though if someone's obviously poo poo posting/derailing the conversation that's one thing but I think there's room for both 'Personally, I believe Madoka's ribbons are a metaphor for the economy. If you look in episode 3, timestamp 12:37, you can see that..." and 'my fav. anime is madoka because homura has cool hair'

The low effort posts that bug me are the ones found in Season threads, which quickly became unfocussed chat. Threads for individual series are normally fine, barring Fate/Type/whatever, which is all incestuous backpatting. I'll admit we don't have anything as bad as the TVIV Korra thread!

Hbomberguy was the KlK apologist, but I've never really thought that there was a great deal to discuss in that series. It's just a shittier Gurren Lagann with more rape jokes. Haha you're still mad that people called your ideas retarded in the UBW thread.

people can disagree with you without it being incestuous backpatting you might have just said something dumb i cant believe im being forced to go up to bat for the loving ubw thread edit: and, well, I mean, the season thread is kind of for unfocused chat loosely related to the anime airing that season/news about upcoming seasons. specific discussions about the shows aren't really supposed to be there

Since when does an anime have to "mean" something and be anything other than cool/funny/fun-to-watch?? They're cartoons.

So, like, is this thread the one where we hash out the grounding principles for ADTRW 2.0, like the Founding Fathers did at the Philadelphia Convention? Who's James Madison?

Homura's hair is not cool! More seriously I feel bad for being down on people trying to engage in serious analysis because I think animation deserves to be treated like anything else, but then every time someone tries to be serious, I just start getting flashbacks to late 90s forum threads attempting to glean the meaning of life from NGE.

When a new episode or chapter drops you get 10-20 one-line posts like "Wow, that was cool. I really liked it when thing happened". Then a little discussion of where this is taking the series, and then the tumbleweeds start rolling in until the next release. If you want interesting meta-discussion, or any interesting discussion at all really, you're better off going to a different forum altogether. GBS has better threads. 4chan has better threads. That's not really a moderation problem so much as a culture problem though. A  mentality might spark more, better, interesting threads. Or maybe just "more", which would still be a straight improvement to me.

The weird thing is, even though WickedHate had wicked bad opinions, people actually discussed stuff with her, and so actual content was produced. I do wish her opinions had been less fatally bad, but she definitely livened up the Mahouka thread. Not everything needs to be analyzed in meticulous detail - that sort of focus is often better used in longform blog posts and formal reviews. Certainly there are folks who crawled up their own analytical rear end in a top hat and view the world through poo poo-coloured lenses, and I don't think endless NGE-style circlejerking is the answer. I'm less interested in what does it meaaaann maaan and more in what ifs. Why did the author make this decision? What other storytelling choices could they have made? For example, Samurai Flamenco was a terrible show, but it was an interesting thread. Ditto Mahouka! A lot of bad or mediocre anime can result in good threads. I understand that everyone finds different joys in life, but I find it frustrating when entire pages of a thread are single-line caps-less sameness. Posts of three words or less, posts with FTFY, HTH, cucking and catchphrases, these things are useless cruft that should find no hold in the promised land of Something Awful.

I think we should instate a new posting system, where each post accrues you "post points", which you can use to buy things on the anime forums. This would encourage less boring stale posting and create a much more engaging ever-changing posting landscape
