does Spirited Away count as anime? i just saw that for the first time a couple of months ago, it was very good. i havent seen the rest of ghibli stuff

spirited away is good, but my favourite ghibli by far is porco rosso. it's so loving good

the second anime skipped over 99% of the poo poo from the first anime that was considered canon so people didn't have to watch it twice (also so you have to buy both shows i guess :v:

kill la kill is an extremely horny anime built around the japanese pun of fascism = fashion by studio trigger and it is batshit. if you gave it a miss because of the aforementioned horniness, give it another shot

the latter half of klk kinda falls apart, but the early eps own

also it gave us the owl day meltdown post so it can't be bad :v:

genuinely do not understand how so many ppl continue to have such strong opinions (in either direction) about klk, that poo poo aired 6-7 years ago.

it's a semi-popular show that gets horny more than once.

Hey everyone! I don't wanna yell at anyone while I'm all tired and about to lay down for bed, so now I'm rested and ready to type. My guess is that all of you pretty much think I don't spend any time thinking about the kind of probations I hand out, but I really actually really really do. I've been your moderator for about 22 months now, and this entire time I've been working on this post I'm posting right now, sort of like a state of the address or something, or like a supreme court opinion on adtrw. Anyway, onto the meat of the matter, I feel that alot of you are being too hard on Japan, the writing doesn't deserve the constant derision it receives because it's not terrible, it's just mediocre. If you're being too hard on shows for being just medocore then you're sort of going to be driving away our main clientele, which as a moderator is my top priority to protect. I know tokyo ghoul or tomo-chan or franxx or whatever is mediocre to all of you but people coming here from crunchyroll and reddit are not going to enjoy a wall of "It's terrible" if they're here to discuss their new favorite anime or manga. On the point of being too hard on japan, all of you know that japan has been through alot in the past century, and if satoshi kon's work is any indication into the goings on inside japan and specifically the anime industry, then japan was pretty much like a sea of porcupines before the 2011 tsunami. I see such a dramatic change in the soul of anime because of the tsunami and I feel that kill la kill was an embodiement of that change. Love hina was filled with hope and ambition and stayed focused around those themes well into negima, but now anime is so filled with anger, and I think all of you need to relax a little with the negativity towards what is an isolated island nation trying to reach out to the world just because you thought their writing was lackluster. They were just annilihated by the most powerful tsunami we've ever seen and there wasn't a country in the world 1/10th as prepared for tsunamis as japan was, and then a nuclear meltdown followed and it's like an infected wound in the soul of japan. There is hope in anime still, but it's a nation in mourning, and in recovery, so just take it easy. There doesn't need to be a massive ban storm for you guys to get the picture because I know how much smarter all of you are than the rest of the forums and as an aside if you hadn't realized it yet, I'm not going to be flinging insults at anyone, ever, it's not who I want to be.

Okay so if I'm going to fomo into the anime I feel like I missed out on as a kid, which ones should I watch dubbed and subbed between:

>One Piece
>DBZ
>Naruto
>Yugioh

And where should I start/how many seasons should I watch of each (doubt I'll be watching 900+ episodes of One Piece or every DBZ series lmao)?
just start watching and if it's not landing stop imo. like yeah, some of these start a bit slow (i.e. OP only gets real good at around ep 45), but if you don't like after a dozen episodes you probably won't :shrug:

it's only 20 minute episodes, so you can easily knock out 1-2 a night while falling asleep :v:

for the record the old sailor moon is a very good show, the new one clings to the manga too much while the old one is longer and explores the characters more better imo.

downside, there's like 200 eps for the whole deal

the dub is good, recommended so you’re not reading and you can take everything in visually

agreed, but i just learned japanese instead

if i'm gonna watch poo poo in a 2nd language anyway (there's like... 3? animes dubbed into my first language and they're all very bad) why not go full tilt amirite :v:

don't pay for streaming services, they are a scam now. if you want to watch more than one show there's like an 80% chance you'll need to subscribe to multiple because some go on crunchy roll, some go on netflix, etc. nyaa.si has no such limitations :v:

torrent the shows and buy merch from the studios directly when you want to support them. they get a fuckton more of your money that way too, compared to what streaming sites/publishers pay for content.

also yeah, CR are a bunch of assholes. i've heard a bunch of translator getting paid starvation wages horror stories from their guys

on one hand, I get why Demon Slayer got huge. It has charming characters and decent fight scenes and the anime is fantastic looking. On the other, I don't get how it was the manga that finally broke the One Piece streak and sold a ridiculous 82 million volumes.

it's fairly simple, one piece is still quite the seller, but it's already a known thing, most people reading will just buy the latest volume. meanwhile yaiba is new, so a shitton of that 82 million is people seeing hype and starting reading, thus buying volumes 1-n.

it's an insanely good achievement regardless, but it's not going to last as people catch up.

The first handful of Blue Gender episodes are decent enough. They have some good, tense, almost scary moments. Not worth actually going back to, though.

Also Witch Hunter Robin is skippable, in case anyone was wondering. It’s like a nowhere-near-as-good GitS: SAC.
