All in all, Kill La Kill was good as a spectacle. As a quality product though, you're never going to get everyone to agree whether it was king corn on poo poo mountain or the anime savior.

I didn't bother finishing Twintails or Gugure. They were both pretty mediocre.

Please reveal to me how many people in this thread haven't watched Kids on the Slope but have watched the really bad shows everyone is posting about
The number of people who have not actually watched Legend of the Galactic Heroes is more distressing

Yes, clearly everyone should watch a long, detailed, niche space opera. Anyone who doesn't want to deal with that is just uncultured and not worthy of anime.

Well uh, yeah. LOTGH is The Wire of anime. What are you, an idiot?

I'm very stupid, but yea The Wire is actually very easy to appreciate when compared to a deliberately niche and indulgent show like LOGH. I actually do think the show is super cool, but the recommend LOGH constantly thing is best when it's kind of a joke.
Weird that you say it's "deliberately niche and indulgent" when every single person who has watched it barring one, who eventually got banned from SA for being a literal pedophile I believe, wholeheartedly loved it and was able to get into it. I don't think those words you're using mean what you think they mean.

Like there's a dude in GBS who just got into anime recently and just started on LotGH, and he's falling in love with it right off the bat. It's really not a stretch to say Legend of the Galactic Heroes is one of the best TV shows of all time, and calling it "niche" is disingenuous. The only reason it's not been localized in the US is because the holding company for the rights wants an INSANE amount of money for it, not because nobody has tried to localize it. Unless you're saying "all anime is niche", in which case...not really?

What I'm saying is you have to be literal human trash to not like Legend of the Galactic Heroes, the above anecdote is proof, you see

also galactic heroes isn't really niche because of its content, its niche because it's like 150 episodes long

who has time for that poo poo besides hardcore anime nerds
The series ends at the perfect length and is engaging the whole way through. I guess if you're a brainless ADHD baby whose attention flits from thing to thing every two minutes it might be hard for you, and for that you have my pity!

Nonsense. I don't see any rubber forehead aliens in LOGH, how is it in any way Star Trek?

pointless bickering about LOGH is still infinitely better than pointless bickering about KLK

A prank I used to do at parties when Strike Witches was on netflix (maybe it still is idk) was to turn on someones netflix and put on strike witches when no one was looking and then act really outraged and confused like "What the hell, Dan? You watch this stuff? Come on dude... this is sick. Why'd you put this on"
I too like to trick people into thinking my friend's a pedophile
