did you just deem a show bad just because of a picture, a little summary, and the theme of the work? there's something about your superior attitude that's getting annoying. |

Well, to be fair, I don't think Reckoner's being homophobic. Anime portrayals of homosexuals frequently borders on homophobic itself, and actually I often dislike Yaoi and Yuri because many of those shows feels quite insulting. Not anything specific to anime either; I just think media portrayal of gays and lesbians is less than flattering more often than not.
Of course, this is just due to my own experience, which is admittingly limited. But it is certainly possible to dislike a fictional portrayal of a group without being malicously prejudiced. It also does not help that Deen is doing it, as that is regarded by some as a fairly poor studio which may make it come off as even worse. Just my 2 cents.

Anyhow. We're talking about DEEN here. The failure among failures of anime studios today. Need I point out the travesty that is UBW? Umineko anybody? An already poorly portrayed type of anime being done by a studio that is already by all standards now a horrible studio, makes me shudder to say the least. And honestly, calling me borderline homophobic and condescending? I'm not sure how you got that from my post when a) I never said anything about homosexuals, and b) never made any remarks about other people in my post. Please note that I can only act superior to other people if I talk about other people, which I did not.

Shiki as well as Panty + Stocking with Garterbelt were both very good anime from 2010. Far as this coming spring looks like ~4 or so caught my attention which is actually good since the first like 2-3 rows were all busts on my attention meter.

How is this season bad? Honestly, I thought even this winter season is exceptionally good compare to the whole 2010 releases.
Moe >>>>>>>>>> Macho @Reckoner: About DEEN, they've already touched numerous yaoi's like years before anyway... Junjou Romantica, anyone? >_>

so DEEN is doing the work and had not had a well perceived output as of late? why should we assume this particular work is going to fail? if we go by their past records, BL works done by DEEN have been fairly successful in the past: Junjou Romantica and Hetalia may come to mind. But that's besides the point: even if another studio was doing the animation production, why should we already assume it's a failure? I'm not sure how implying that the future spring season does not live up to your expectations, or making mockery of a studio and a particular genre does not come off as a superior attitude. and it's getting annoying because you made similar comments in the past in a similar thread, dismissing shows simply because they don't go according to your values. |

Well now that we actually have a more complete list of stuff coming out for the Spring season I can say with surprise that there are actually more TV series I want to check out then there are OVA's and movies. The return of Gintama is awesome and Sunrise's other new show Tiger & Bunny looks right up my alley, although they couldn't possibly look more like corporate shills for 2011 unless they end up letting the sponsors write their shows by the summer. Showa Monogatari and Deadman Wonderland also look like possible shows to be on the lookout for as well.
As for OVA's etc. I'll be looking to check out Norageki since Sunrise rarely does wrong by me and are especially good at hitting the mark with OVA's lately. Nichijou will possibly end up being watched (probably ironically and with ample preparation) since I'm going to want a briefer on what exactly is going to be the next big thing in the moe scene and so I can make my predictions for how it's going to be causing drama on the internets come 2011. |

Of course the individual case of people operating totally outside the regular fan circles of Kyoani's shows may vary wildly, which is where I'm kind of expecting the zany drama to pop up on the internet...just like it always does. |

All I've done is shown distaste for the direction of anime in 2010 and what so far appears to be 2011. If you can't deal with that, it's not my problem. I can tell you this, I showed distaste for this Fall season expectation thread, and having picked up 6-7 shows this season, I can still say that this season has been lackluster and bad IMO. I actually have a fairly good idea of what I am going to like. Do you expect me to apologize for giving my outlook on the current anime seasons? I don't formulate these opinions with nothing. I'll have to check it out then. I've been holding out on a lot of OVA's because I'm annoyed at how spread apart they are. Break Blade for example is great, but the third DVD/blue ray or whatever hasn't been released for a fwe months after the last one came out.

@Kaioshin Sama: You are talking like K-On only appeals moe otakus....>_>
This is basic understanding on average number of DVD/BD sales per volume and its relationship with popularity (Example from Shaft/Kyoto Animation): 1000> : Main stream or kids anime. Some atrociously failing late night series can also be there (Natsu no Arashi, Munto) 1000~3000: The Break-even point for low budget series, but still considered to be failure (Ef- a tale of melodies etc.) 3000~5000: Only decent. The break-even point most of the time, but not really good enough for 2nd season (Ef- a tale of memories, Arakawa Under the Bridge) 5000~8000: Where you consider second season. Hit series. (Full Metal Panic, Pani Poni Dash!) 8000~12000: Big hit. Studio should have a party. (Negima!?, Air) For animes oriented for small otaku community, this is extremely huge hit. 12000~25000: Huge hit, very popular, selling even to those who don't usually buy DVDs. 25000~50000: A big issue. Might even get a news article on it. Extremely popular, selling even to those who never bought DVD before, has a lot of votaries (K-On!, Suzumiya Haruhi) 50000~100000: Godly sales. Gundam SEED amd Bakemonogatari are the only 'TV series' reached this sales since 2000. For late night anime, it is practically impossible; Bakemonogatari's case is just biggest mystery ever. (Movie sales is completely different issue) 100000<: Only movie can reach this. 'K-On!' is at a level selling to those 'who has never owned anime DVD before'. Knowing manga, its popularity was even less than Nichijou; the sole reason why K-On got this huge hit was Kyoto Animation.

I can see myself picking up Hana-Saku Iroha by P.A. Works, and probably Steins; Gate by White Fox. Madhouse stuffed up Chaos; Head, but maybe the studio behind Katanagatari can make something good out of the sequel.
Probably will check out Nichijou as well, just because. |

^@Kaioshin Sama:
If I'm understanding you correctly (which is pretty hard due to my English being the second language...@_@) you said Kyoani's core audience is 'moe otaku', which is true and false at the same time. In fact, every single late night running animes are totally dependent on response of those small 'otaku' communities, which is almost... everything on the list, not just Kyoani produced series. The reason for K-On's success is that it appealed those 'outside' of otaku community. Plus, (if I'm understanding you correctly..*shrugs) 2ch means absolutely nothing. They were saying shit about Bakemonogatari all the time and saying it's sales will die due to those continues delays. However, sales kept increasing even more.

- Gay Leads (Koizumi in Haruhi while not a lead sure acts kind of acts gay around Kyon who doesn't really do a whole lot to get him to stop so you tell me what's going on there ) - Lesbians (Female characters seem to have implied moments of lesbianism in Kyoto Animation series all the time that are played for laughs. Haruhi with Mikuru, Konata with Kagami, Tsumugi with.....everybody) - girl characters that are all about being some dating game stereotype (just about every character they've ever done really) - whiny pathetic male leads (Kyon quite frequently) - girl obsessed over male lead (well since they only have one male lead I guess it has to be Kyon and his harem. All of the girls dig him on some level even if one of them doesn't want to admit it. If you include Full Metal Panic then it's Sousuke, Chidori and Tessa) - male lead obsessed over indifferent girl (Kyon with Haruhi and sometimes Yuki Nagato...but only sometimes. FMP with Sousuke and his mission to protect Chidori and her wanting him to go away sometimes) - character with the power (not sure what this even means) - unnecessary blushing (K-On....almost all the time) - excess of sugar-characters (Mikuru, Mio, Yui, Tsukasa to name a few) - "stupid" pantsu shots (Mikuru and Haruhi in the first and second episode of Haruhi Season 1 respectively, also Mio in K-On, but it's never directly seen on camera) - overly "original" character designs (No idea what this means) - self-sufficient characters. Example: the average school character = the only food they need is 1 bento/day, they don't sleep, they have no parents or siblings, they live in school and periodically walk up and down a hill outside the school, there is night only once a year, school is all year long, they all suck at english, etc. (What..... ) - flying giant humanoid robots (Haruhi in the Day of Sagittarius when she launches the ***dam and if you want to count it Full Metal Panic: The Second Raid) So like wow...not only do they follow what you call the standard, they seem to do it all the time. I don't know what else to say other than you completely don't have an argument here. Sorry bro. Quote:
