I almost never give an anime the axe after just a few minutes but I watched the first 5 mins of Elfen Lied and that was enuff to send it off into Recycle Bin heaven...Really bad advice I got watching that overkill... Quote:
Another show I just dropped after the first few eps that people seem to like is Kure-nai...It just had too much sexualizing of a minor for my taste...I don't care if it's indirect it just turned me off...And don't tell me it was all in my head, you don't draw certain scenes like they drew them an expect people not to take some of that from the show...

I'm going to be cynical and say that you are probably just taken aback at a frank portrayal of a child acting like, well, a child, rather than a stereotypical loli. And there's probably a cultural barrier at work too since I think Westerners are more prudish at being naked with children compared to the Japanese and some other Asian cultures. Look at the hot springs: shared bath don't always equal a sexual attraction you know. |

Maybe it's the great animation and how crisply it's drawn that overaccentuates the characters movements, but there were too many scenes in the first 3 episodes that made me kinda cringe while watching (Which was a natural response not one filed with malice or premeditation)...I can tell from your tone I'm not the only one who has made this suggestion and your objection is fine, but I've watched too much anime, more than I can ever count, and not too many times have I been turned off by how a child character is presented...Anyone whose an animefreak to the level of posting alot on animesuki understands the evident cultural gap that has to be taken into account while watching any show like this (If not a majority of all anime) and despite that my comments stand...It wasn't any cultural diatribe that turned me off, it was some of the presentation....

Excel Saga and Serial Experiments Lain.
The former is one of the most annoying anime that I've ever seen, the latter was boring and I couldn't bring myself to like any of the characters. Edit: Also, browsing over the previous pages and seeing the talk of anime movies has reminded me Ghost in the Shell. GitS SAC is great, but the first movie seemed kind of forgettable to me. I never really got into it. |

I don't know about FLCL, but LS is really about where you stand in the world of anime. I'm a fan, but I don't "hype" it myself. I recommend it to people who can see themselves as Kagami (My friend, whom I recommended the series to, downloaded the whole series, even as I didn't bother to.).

Is that really different from Naruto's "I'm going to be the best or something" goal, though? Quote:

Haven't seen School Rumble, know only some gags and bare storyline of SHnY, and as for Azumanga, it sure ain't the greatest ever, even if I enjoyed myself greatly from the anime (couldn't stand the manga).

Let's see...
All the hentai wannabes, aka "Ikki Tousen", "To-love-ru" etc. If you wanna make porn with laughable plot, just make porn with laughable plot, don't be shy and call it Anime, it's not like there aren't 2 billions of them out there. All the harem series. Harems are hot, don't get me wrong. But I don't find dumb chicks who drool over a spineless wimp for no logical reason attractive. School Rumble(manga) , this one belongs to the above catergory but deserves special mention because it tried so hard to be different at the beginning, yet ends up in the exactly same mess, pathetically ironic. Code Geass, so-so in my book but all the people running around screaming it's the bestest sh1t everz annoy me. I mean, aside from having the guts to kill off an important character, the plot is a joke, especially in R2 so far. |
