On fire with AWESOME!

Also, still about "popular in japan", so is hating the white devil, popularity does not imply quality.

Universal Century 0079 is going great so far. Also, I wanna bang Char now, because... god damn, he alone would make me go to Zeon.

Isn't that being altittle hypocritical on the fact you watch anime but don't laugh at the very basic of Japan humor?

So, if I don't like Adam Sandler's movies, I should be allowed to watch American comedies at all? Because it's inconsieveable that people in the same country might have different ideas and consepts of humour?

The Violence isn't considered, "Boring" as torturing isn't a bore to any human being. Torturing is a form of extreme violence by the way.

...

You can't rationalise taste. Torture can easily be boring. A bad writer can make anything boring, and a good writer can make anything interesting.

Now, I haven't watched the show, I'm just critisizing the logical fallacies in your post.

American Comedies have a variety of styles of humor...but then agian so do the Japanese, but Japan humor always goes into a certian style of humor and this style is always used in most animes around Japan.

Higurashi has ALOT of that kind of humor.

Now on the thing about torture being boring...well honestly, have you ever been tortured? It adds a sense of an eerie atmosphere.
But this is my opinion so, I can't really speak for anyone really. If you can relate to what I am trying to say, thanks for that.

What's wrong with Clannad?

Aside from an irritating female lead, I found the series to be quite enjoyable.

Boring whiny drama, and those character designs, you can't honestly take the show seriously with such terrible overly cute designs.

So blood and violance is the pinnacle of Japanese humour?

You're a thick dunce.

The Violence isn't considered, "Boring" as torturing isn't a bore to any human being. Torturing is a form of extreme violence by the way.

How does that make a show entertaining, at all? So you make assumptions that people adore and crave mindless violance?

Real suspense? Less evil laughter? Well what do you perfer into a horror anime?

Actual suspense, can you even read?

lol wow...I didn't know I would start a flame war...really now, wow.

So first let me start by saying that evil laughter, torturing, etc. is the pinacle of japanese horror. Watch some on Crunchyroll if you still wish to argue.

Yes I don't find the humor as funny as I liked but it is basic japanese humor that is almost used in alot of animes.

And lastly I didn't know people had to result in calling people "dunces" and whatnot just because they don't agree with a certain opinion.

Wowzers indeed.

Thanks for all the fun.

One needs to watch Paranoia Agent.

Or a whole bunch of live action Japanese horror movies.

Or play Fatal Frame. Never have I shitted my pants so much playing a game.

Ok, I'm always hearing good things and bad things about this show, and I seriously can't tell if I'll like it or not.

Elfen Lied?

No, I haven't been, but what I'm trying to say, a bad writer can make ANYTHING boring. Torture isn't automaticaly exiting. Things don't just work like that.

But this is my opinion so, I can't really speak for anyone really. If you can relate to what I am trying to say, thanks for that.

I'm not actualyl really disagreeing with you, because I don't know anything about the show you talk about. I disagree with your odd tendency to try and rationalise taste.

Say I like characters with bandages, the logical conclusion is that I would really LOVE mummies. Yeah, it doesn't work like that.

None of the Japanese horror stuff really involved "evil laughs", torture, yes, but as said, fiction writing isn't playing with JLego, you can't just stick a bunch of stuff together, and say it's good.

Yes I don't find the humor as funny as I liked but it is basic japanese humor that is almost used in alot of animes.

Being popular in Japan isn't an excuse. I personally don't watch anime to identify with the Japanese, I watch it to be entertained.

ooh ooh i wanna join my fave is soul eater

Usually makes me laugh, actually. The stuff that gets to me is the mindfuckery.

Can you name some more, it's usually customary to name five favourite shows.

I was pretty close to renting that a few times, something always held me back and I just rented something else.

Not really into those horror type games anyway.

Sure if you like mindless violence and ridiculous amounts of unecessary nudity, go for it.

Weren't you the guy that told me to just "stfu" because you couldn't even think of a decent counter argument when I said Elfen Lied is a terrible series?

Yeah, I doubt you still do.

In Elfen Lied's defense, it has child rape. LOL!

Don't give me any complaints about my reasoning.

What sort of counter argument can you provide?

If somebody enjoyed a series, then why do they need to justify having enjoyed it?

Taste is a very subjective thing.

You do realize you're posting in SUPER ELITIST ANIME CLUB SERIOUS BUSINESS THREAD, right?

Because if someone ask you"Why do you like that show", it's totally difficult to give a reason as to why you do.

If somebody enjoyed a series, then why do they need to justify having enjoyed it?

"Hey I like Elfen Lied, I think it's a cool show."

"Why?"

"Just because"

"ohok"

I'd rather have someone tell me their reason.

Taste is a very subjective thing.

When someone tries to defend a show that has underaged nudity and massive amounts of gore for no good reason.

You can't just say "Okay sure that's cool", I don't mean to be a moralfag here, but no one can defend such trash.

So anyways, anyone think anything good and original is going to come out in the winter season? That anime about soda looks like it could be pretty funny....

Nope, winter season looks dire.

Not much coming out, another wave of sequels to shit I didn't care about, etc.

On a related note, how many of you are watching Kannagi?

Episode 7 was such a filler.

I NEED MORE.

I only really watched the first episode of the show, but it didn't seem so bad.

The whole thing seemed rather puerile and I kept thinking I should hate it, but as far as that episode went it didn't seem the anti-christ of cartoons that it's made out to be by some. Not that I can go about judging an entire series on the first episode.

In any case, if someone tries justifying a show they like, it tends to just get into other subjective aspects that someone who didn't like it would disagree with.

"I thought the plot was good."
"The plot was not good, you are stupid."

"I liked the characters."
"The characters were silly, stop being stupid."

Usually my reasons for liking shows are because they entertain me.

The shows entertain me because I feel entertained when I'm watching them.
