What is your favourite anime (yes, you)?

Probably The Tatami Galaxy. But there is a lot of very good anime out there, so I feel kind of bad deciding on a number 1.

There is a large overlap between tvtropes users and let's play fandom, as I understand.

I used to be big into let's play. I think being big into anime is less embarrassing. I still want to do my own let's play one day though.

But it's the best story. They can just stretch it out a bit to make it a whole episode

well there are only a few episodes left and some of those will be for the anime original ending. so it's up in the air whether they'll integrate manga stories into that at all. don't think the final episode titles have been revealed for us to guess.

If not for TLs I would never have learned that Yuki means snow, which helped make the end of Disappearance a more touching moment

i think i like it more when the translators go through the herculean effort to explain a pun for like a page in the afternotes instead of just changing it to something that works in english, its admirable dedication

My favourite Translator's Note was in Clannad. "Blah-blah is a type of treasure chest"

Me: Why the gently caress didn't you just say treasure chest then?

I can't decide if I like the T/Ns that try to share some dumb fact but are totally wrong or the ones that reveal how creepy the translator is better.

The problem is:

- most tropes are just things that exist ("Hawaiian shirt" is a trope, for one of the more obvious examples)

- There is no analysis of what things mean or why they are used. A page for a work will just have a list of "tropes" in it, a page for a trope will just have a list of works that it appears in. There's little to no attempt to think of why a trope is used or how it is used.

- Dumbass naming scheme for each trope

- The tendancy of tropers to name tropes outside of the site, regardless of how awkward it makes a sentance

- The tendancy of tropers to capitalise tropes outside of their site as though it will magically become a hyperlink

- Ultimately, TVTropes is like a nerd taking apart a radio and naming each piece without thinking about how each piece works to make a radio. It's decent enough as a list site, but it's not really anything like the reference tool TVTropes advocates make it out to be.


That's just the current problems with the main site.
