like of all the incredibly dumb poo poo wickedhate has done and said, why do you care that she thinks KyoAni masterpiece Beyond the Boundary is good

also people recommend g gundam a ton and beyond the boundary might have pacing problems but at least it's over quickly

i *like* g gundam but objectively there are about 40 episodes of Domon wanders around, meets a dude, punches him, and maybe 10 episodes of the actual plot happening

Kyoukai no Kanata is a lovely show, and saying its no worse than other lovely shows goons ironically love is not a compliment. I don't know if it's the same poster because I never pay too much attention to usernames, but someone always cheerleads this show and I'll be damned if someone watches this piece of poo poo because of it. It was so aggressively awful that it's one of the few bad shows I'll speak up against. Rather than just ignore that it exists.

KnK is a bad show. I sat through half of it and I can't imagine why people would recommend that garbage when at least 50% of anime is better than it. It has no likeable characters. They try to only give the characters any sort of resemblance of character just by stupid giving them an idiotic trait to run into the ground that came out of a poll of worst generic traits. "OH BOY. I HAVE SUCH A HARD ON FOR GLASSES." Let's run this poo poo into the ground! It's funny and says our character is a pervert. Now let's transplant all of this unfunny comedy poo poo into the most boring story ever, but making sure that while it looks nicely animated, the fights themselves are still boring as poo poo because it's wrapped around conflicts you have no interest in because the characters have about as much depth as towlie from South Park. If you want action shows, there is way, way better out there before someone should watch KnK.

I don't know why I dislike KnK so much even though there's lots of lovely anime out there. Maybe it's the thought that KyoAni worked so hard to make a show that bad and that their effort tricked me into spending more time than I should have with it. That would probably be it.

Edit: from your later posts, you seem to think I'm just making GBS threads on Wickedhate because it's Wickedhate. I assure you that is not the case and it's more because I think that the recommendation was a completely terrible one to recommend. It completely struck me as a "please watch this thing I enjoyed even though it pretty much has nothing in common with what you asked for" recommendation which I've seen on other forums and hate when people do that. The follow up recommendation was good and I had no objection there obviously.

I like G Gundam too, but it does have way too many Gundam Fighter of the Week episodes. It can be a drag sometimes, but the show overall is still amazing. If I didn't grow up on it as a kid, I'd probably only like it slightly less.

Man, I still just don't get this complaint and goons tend to say it a lot. They were plenty likeable and memorable.

Also, how is a glasses thing considered perverted? It's a fixation, but very tame.

well i mean what spark of inspiration does G Gundam have? Domon punches dude until the plot happens, which he resolves by punching more dudes. Then he learns that to be a true hero, he has to punch dudes *together* with the people he loves.

It was super loving stylish about it, and mixed all this campy stuff in a world that still felt "gundam-y", like with the whole two class outer space and earthling thing. I mean it's still just a kids show but it's not entirely nostalgia that stuck it in people's minds.

The show made it quite clear, quite repeatedly, that he had a fetish for glasses. It was also pretty clearly sexual. It may be tame, but it's stupid as gently caress and terrible when it's your defining character trait.

i wasnt really blaming you or black stones but i feel like every time this comes up it's just

'I liked this this and this' 'I hate this this and this'

there's no real room for debate because nobody is really trying to objectively talk about the qualities of the show and nobody is really willing to listen because the other person is wrong about anime so its just two people posting at each other until one of them gives up. also goons have this weird need to beat people down for liking shows they consider bad. like i thought kyoukai no kanata was pretty poo poo but if you liked it, great, im really glad you did. i like loving sword art online, i cant throw stones. nobody on this subforum can throw stones

yeah true. g gundam had a pretty neat aesthetic and i liked the inversion of the usual gundam tropes - a lot of gundam is about the beauty and future of space but in g gundam space was presented as a place for hosed up weirdos and the earth was something that needed to be protected and preserved. its neat. but in terms of the way the plot progresses, everything honestly feels really phoned in.

G Gundam's a tough recommendation these days when most shows now have a runtime of merely a dozen episodes.

That's why I like recommending Giant Robo first and if they like it, list all the other Imagawa shows as a followup if they want stuff in a similar vein.

There's nothing wrong with someone liking a bad thing and I have no problem with wickedhate personally; like you said I think it's cool that people can enjoy things I don't. However, I feel like when someone is asking for recommendations it's perfectly reasonable to share your opinion if you think a bad show is being recommended. If ManOfTheYear decides to watch KnK and ends up enjoying it rad, but I think it's fair that he hears both opinions on a show that seems to be somewhat divisive before making that decision.

Endorph

'i don't think KnK was very good for xyz reasons' is cool

telling them not to recommend it and being very aggressive for no real reason is not cool

im not trying to backseat mod here but people are very mean about anime on this subforum for some reason.

I was literally typing in rage when I told someone not to recommend something because it didn't match what the person was looking for at all, and I thought the show was awful. Sorry I used aggressive words to state the show is super bad. It is. I will not put it on the level of Musahi Gundoh. That was wrong of me.

I don't love all the anime. I'm sorry. I'll hand in my anime nerd card. Please also accept my complete collection of UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie on DVD. It will finally have a good home.

I'm watching Psycho Pass and Gargantia, both are pretty entertaining shows. I've learned to follow the philosophy to just find something to enjoy in a show, anything at all. I made it through Gundam AGE through liking the music and 95% of the mecha design. Also the beepy noise the space dragons make when their cockpits turn on.

I got through it because I made someone who tried really hard on 4chan to defend it watch it with me. Also he made a fake translation of designer notes for the character designs and we kept laughing about that and how people legitimately believed the Magician's 8 were based on hollywood jews/demons
