On Fruits Basket; Why do you assume that only teenage girls are watching and enjoying this series? Looking around the forum, I've seen a number of male users that have enjoyed the series and even recommended it to other people, myself included. On Princess Princess; First off, the concept sounds kind of humorous to me, but that's another issue. Once again, why are you adding in comments about teenage girls? Being male or female does not lock you into a specific range of tastes in entertainment, and it's not really fair to call someone dumb for their opinion of a show. Now, perhaps I am misreading your comment on this one, since I do not know much about Princess Princess. However, my assumption is that the bit "teenage girls are just too stupid to change their taste" is not referring to characters in the show, given the implied gender ratios of the series. Do correct me if I'm wrong, I'll apologize. Now, I'm not going to stay and lecture you, as I have no intention to drag on some inane argument and getting the thread that far off topic would be a bad thing. But a little more consideration wouldn't hurt; I'm sure I'm not the only one who read that and found it at least a little rude. NOW. As for the original topic... @ fieryshadowcard: Out of curiousity (damn that thing), I looked up some information on Eiken, and while I haven't seen the series to agree or disagree with how bad it is, I saw nothing there to attract anyone except those with the particular fetish that the series seems to broadcast. And even then, I'm not entirely positive. So... I'll stay on the safe side and heed your warning. |

Of course, this has nothing to do with your post, but just that your first sentence I could relate to.

It is true that many guys do like Fruits Basket but in country,you can be a laughing stock for watching it if you are man.That anime obviously made for girls and most guys,including me, tend to avoid it.The rabid fangirls makes me to stay away from it even further.Just like before,better leave it to the hands of fangirls alone. Those animes you quoted above are not craps but just animes that I happy to stay away from it.I even "awarded" with some reputation points for mentioning Ouran at this thread and I don't want to get more. For Princess Princess, it just plain disgusting to see boys dressed like girls and seduce other boys in their school despite everyone else know they are boys in female clothings.You can blame me because I'm a man but if I a woman right now,I will have same idea too.The only good thing about Princess Princess is it's more entertaining than Gakuen Heaven.GH is bland and I just want to give it to Mr. Fire and he will keep that anime forever. For most shounen-ai animes that don't have chance to mention here,it just easy.Sex sells.Just like the usage of fanservices for male audiences.Shounen-ai and yaoi just like that,for different audiences. This is my last post at this topic.I don't want to get more reputation points just because this thread. Adios. |

I still don't like him to generalize that "females like blah, and males like blah". It's not insulting, but I find it demeaning (to both men and women). I love shoujo shows, Gravitation, cutesy shows, and whatnot, and I have a female friend, who, even though she LOVES yaoi, would rather watch Hellsing and Gundam over any of the shows he mentioned.
I may not care for yaoi but it's not solely a "sex sells" marketing device(although it's hard to tell at times >>). |

And don't worry, Amex; I don't really bother with the reputation system either way. Well this has certainly been a fun little diversion, eh? |

(It's a screencap I took from Canvas 2. I thought the scene was funny )
Hmm... I know I listed Soul Link in my first post in this thread many pages ago, but other than that, I can't think of anything too horrendous that I've watched. I guess I've been fortunate to have watched at least semi-decent material so far, and most of what I've disliked has just been for how overrated I felt it was (Naruto, DBZ, and a lot of other shounen fight anime). However, I think that was before I watched the original Canvas ~Motif of Sepia~ OVA, which makes me sad, because I loved Canvas 2 (watched it first). Poor animation and a rushed plot left a bad taste in my mouth. It may have been better if they had focused more on just one girl's path instead of trying to squeeze minor elements of all of them into two episodes. Maybe if it were stretched into at least 12 episodes they could get somewhere, but as it stands - crappy. Shame also to Canary, which had just as bad animation. And I had the fortune to watch both of these series as a bundle. Silly me. |

Spoiler for Stuff that I didnt want to eat or drink after looking at NSN:
I dont like Yugioh either, I tried to look at it before saving the world with playing cards, I dont think I cant take that series seriously. YGO: Abridged Series is so much better. Evil Teddy Bear says "YOUR MOTHER PLAYS CARD GAMES IN HELL"

The most boring/bad animes in my opinion, from what I've seen are:
Beyblade Dragon Half Onegai Twins Green Green TV Kanon Kita-He Diamond Dust Yami to Boushi To Hon no Tabibito (That show was just so wtf o.o) Hanaukyo Maid-Tai TV To Heart Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien Tenshi No Shippo Chu! Yumeria 2x2 Shinobuden Kono Minikuku Mo Utsukushii Sekai Ichigo 100% Shuffle! Angel's Feather Yu-Gi-Oh! Air Ultimate Girl All in all I think 99% of animes that are made after hgames have no real future. They lack an interesting story, originality and originality!!!! They're basically all the same. I noticed I have watched so much random anime but I've still managed to watch them through for the sake of my watched anime list lol :P~ |
