    Goons complaining about anime is boring, because they only know of a few tropes, some of which are dead, that they repeat ad nauseum.


    It is the same when /r/badphilosophy starts complaining about continentals.
    Some old tropes are still operative in mutated form. Consider the fact that the standard harem format still will not die.

    Argh blarg I have so many ideas for Putt-Putt Goes to the Moon that I want to get started on, and I have free time, and they DIDN'T RELEASE IT ON STEAM ON TIME

    That's really not the issue. I'm entirely capable of doing so; but I find that my opinion will line up with certain people's most of the time and in the even I haven't actually seen the movie I can generally assume my opinion will be similar to theirs. 


    i see

    i'm not sure i understand the compulsion to argue about a movie you haven't actually seen

    what is your attachment to the movie, if you don't mind my asking?
    Honestly, it's just a general aversion to seeing highly negative statements without seeing reasons presented for them. Which, like, obviously you're not obligated to do so, least of all because it's an irrational pet peeve of mine, but it still is something I'm bothered by.

    I just saw a hyperbolic negative statement and found it upsetting as I am wont to do.

    why are you on the internet

    it will cause you nothing but pain
    Well yes you see my dilemma here.

    See, harem anime is generally not a trope they bring up.

    The weird thing is that they kinda like DBZ because it's the anime they watched as kids.

    that's not just goons, that's pretty normal for non-anime fans complaining about anime
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    Anime is all the same, we can tell this because Madoka, Dragon Ball Z, Pokemon, Monster, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, and Ouran High School Host Club are exactly the same show.

    EXACTLY

    Will Farrell is good in stuff where he does voicework sometimes, like Megamind, or Lego Movie.


    Also I like Zoolander.
    I keep meaning to watch Megamind, I hear it's one of DWA's best
  • ok here i will give you my reasons:

    * the jokes were overly predictable

    * the jokes were not funny. ever. at all. not even a teensy.

    * the jokes were occasionally literally just "someone says something crude" which made me feel very sad and mad

    * the acting wasn't all that hot either
  • uuuuuuuuurrrrrrgh

    great

    I specifically try not to get invested and I'm still invested and upset and DAMMIT

    Do they not look at new stuff at all? Really.

    Although there are plenty of pernicious tropes in long-running action anime that derive from that era and have yet to die out, they are easily explained and, if you watch other kinds of shows... avoided entirely.

    having seen two episodes of ouran i have to say that they were some of my favorite pokemon episodes of all time

    especially that one where ash faced off against homulilly

    That's the thing.

    A large percentage of anime caters to people who will catch it at odd hours and buy overpriced blu-rays

    * the jokes were occasionally literally just "someone says something crude" which made me feel very sad and mad

    This isn't necessarily what I meant, but I can't really complain or say anything at all really because I haven't actually seen the movie. Also you didn't really have to do that anyway.


    * the acting wasn't all that hot either
    Also this is kind of a sticking point for me because I've acted, and as someone who has acted, I would say the overwhelming majority of the time acting in movies is fantastic by default, even for bad movies. Casting is a much bigger issue, but there are very few outright untalented actors in big budget films.
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    Untalented actors tend to be nice and really easy to work with, or else very pretty.

    See Keanu Reeves and Paul Walker.

    What.

    Goethe's Faust with more sparkles, collage and Lovecraft; Journey to the West IN SPACE but more boring; an excuse to show cute monsters make things explode and/or sell vidya games; a delicately paced and harrowing character-driven thriller based on a serial graphic novel; a flamboyant action saga literally driven by nerdy rock references and camp; and a sitcom send up of girls' comics from the 80's...

    eating again


    what a disgusting habit
    The reason I don't post what I have eaten in a day whenever others do so is because it would probably exceed most people's lists

    I'm a glutton
    Pap Pap

    Eating is an important part of life. At least you don't nibble at your food for days on end until you're literally mad with hunger.

    Guess who has two thumbs and totally did that a few days ago?
    Eating food is good for you, and is nothing to be ashamed of.  Exult in food, but don't eat too much.  Don't eat too much or too little, and eat a variety of foods.

    Remember, sometimes the stress you feel over eating is more damaging than the eating itself.

    All in all, just eat a reasonable amount, enjoy yourself, and eat healthily, with fruits and vegetables and other things you need.
  • ok then i will rephrase that:

    * i did not enjoy the acting, i felt it was overexaggerated and rather flat

    happy?

    What vomputer games do you have?

    If you mean computer games as a catchall term for video games, I have too many to list. If you mean just games for computers, none. Unless you count Team Fortress 2 and the PC version of Morrowind, which I never play.

    Can I buy 999 on steam?

    No, but it is on iOS, and IIRC you do have an iPad.
    What's iOS?

    I have a DS, yarrun said I could play it on DS.

    I have a tablet, I'm not sure what kind.  Whatever the thing is that google is making, version seven.  It's a big blue kind.

  • My dreams exceed my real life
    Jojo's Bizarre Adventure kind of ruined me for fights in DBZ-esque stuff and superhero comics.

    Like, in DBZ or superhero comics, people win because they have heroic determination, or have a higher power level.

    In JJBA, a woman who can turn into string and a woman who can create duplicates of things using stickers beat a guy who can create superfast invisible zombies, and you believe it, because it's justified every step of the way.
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    Also the Adventure Time episode: Jake Vs Me-Mow feels like a JJBA fight to me.
  • No, I'm acting stupid and getting upset over nothing and continuing to do so because I'm being unintentionally validated.

    I'm not saying that I agree with Kex's earlier behaviour, but you're kind of prolonging this matter unnecessarily...

    Agreed.

    Although the way that Welcome to the NHK twists this one in on itself in one of the early episodes is delightful.

    it's at least partly my fault for prolonging this, actually

    I believe this is Stone Ocean, which is the 6th Arc of JJBA.

    Only the first 2 and some Arcs have been animated, so you'd have to find a manga scan. And you should probably hit Arc 3 first for context and whatnot.

    Yeah, all of that. I think they're actually up to four or will be but I am not certain of this...
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    man

    JJBA sounds seriously great, but i am not much into comic books, and i'm even less into reading scans of manga online

    maybe i'll start with the anime and see how i feel from there

    It always goes back to this, doesn't it?

    If I could choose not to have an immediate, viscerally negative reaction to something I have literally no investment in why the hell wouldn't I?
