The scraps of periphery I've seen of Mahouka make it seem innocuous to the point of not knowing what it is. There was that cover that the little idiot from SAO was on with that guy. Is it a spinoff? I don't know or care.

it's a lovely LN where the MC is literally god and can snap his fingers and kill anyone, his sister wants to bone him, he hates the Chinese, calls them racially inferior and calls for their extermination.

despite that potential for trainwreck it's interminably boring

5. Kill La Kill - It was pandering trash.
4. Black Bullet - It was creepy pandering trash pretending to be Attack on Titan for some reason.
3. No Game No Life - It was creepy pandering trash that was pretending to not be gibberish.
2. Sword Art Online II - It was creepy pandering boring trash just like the first.
1. Mahouka - It was creepy pandering boring trash that made me fall asleep, it was too boring to mock.

I like how KlK is the only one not creepy, apparantly

i don't mind 'big titty cartoon ladies' porn in anime that much, but i do mind when it gets creepier than that, and, well, uh, killer kills kind of went there

that's funny because a good third of that thread is people swearing up and down that Korra is definitely not anime no sir, it's TOTALLY DIFFERENT than you degenerate japanese fucks

Serious question here, is Korra actually worth watching? I have not seen a single episode of either it or the first Avatar. Followup question, and possibly more important than the first, are there gundams?

Depends on what your standards are / how much time you have to watch TV I guess. Both series are alright. I guess I would compare them to decent shounen like Soul Eater or Blue Exorcist. Both Avatar shows are probably 60 episodes, with probably 2/3 of the first series being good and 1/2 of the second series. As for gundams, Korra ends with the villain making a giant robot to destroy the city. The robot isn't very anime though, even though it has an arm laser cannon

Since the original KLK thread was sent into the abyss was it really just like the NGNL thread where a certain amount of goons got really defensive about their underage sister anime and started passionately arguing that it wasn't bad? That second by second post of the molestation scene could only have come from an environment where the creepy fans were left unchallenged for way too long and eventually thought absolutely everything about the show was perfectly acceptable.

Zorak himself put a moratorium on complaining about the fanservice, presumably because he thought it would turn out to be a well written show in the end. Without that I think it would have been much more of a mock thread. I'm not familiar with what happened with the NGNL thread, but that one got gassed real early

It is, unironically, one of the best works of fiction in human history, and I'm not exaggerating at all. I can understand finding it unappealing or being repulsed by some elements of it, but shallow dismissal just sucks.


Fanservice and the way anime uses it is what it's commenting on, though.

There's a difference between self awareness and self criticism. It's one thing to say "anime fanservice, which we are displaying an exaggerated version of here, is bad" and another to say "anime fanservice, which we are displaying an exaggerated version of here, is loving awesome". Kill la Kill is the second

Like this isn't hard to understand

"It's almost satire!" Is a really bad way to swipe dumb poo poo under the rug because by all accounts KlK Attempts to be satire but then just becomes the thing it is satirizing. That was the worst part about the show, at times they took things too far and the line between 'we're making commentary!!' and actual kind of gross, sexualized humor became blurred.

I liked the second half of KlK quite a bit. I'm gay, I could care less about titty anime, but like.... KlK's biggest flaw is that it becomes what it makes fun of. It was a pretty big thing.

I watched the show dude, there was never any attempt at critique or subtlety or anything at all besides "hey wouldn't it be awesome if we had 18 year old girls have DBZ fights while wearing stripper outfits with a soundtrack of overdriven buttrock?" I'm continually baffled by the attempts to paint it as some kind of nuanced commentary on fanservice or whatever the gently caress

To the show's credit, it's not even all that bad by anime standards aside from the bad touch stuff. Even with the occasional sort of rapey scenes the female characters were written alright, and were pretty strong/good etc. It could have been much, much much worse. But that doesn't change the fact that it's still Imaishi drawing big titty cartoon ladies because he loving loves big titty cartoon ladies

every moe anime has worst animation than stringendo and accelerando: ultimatum sera which is just scene after scene of people sucking the cum out of dicks. They have worse plots and less believable characters as well. Funny, how things are, sometimes.

With its 6530 vol 1 BD sales, Cross Ange outsold Amagi Brilliant Park (5858), Shirobako (5725) and Gundam Reconguista in G (4701)! You have no right to disparage it in the face of such overwhelming support from the market.

my dying request will be to kill all anime fans, preferably on live television

Do you acknowledge that any of the show was intended to be fanservice? Do you acknowledge that the creators are in fact big fans of anime titties, in the Gladiator "ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?????" sort of way?
