Stop posting here ffs and go watch our recommendations.

 

Could've gotten 10 shows out of the way in this time.

 

Butnahamsuingbrah.

I can't go on the xbox today and my computer sucks. 

 

So the only choice I have is to keep posting here. Which is an entertaining pass time.

I give up.


Eh you basically got it right enough that people probably wouldn't bother giving you **** for it if it wasn't you.

Which is partly on them and partly on you for the way you only talk about characters as a sort of dick wagging contest for how badass they are.

Like part of you being convinced to watch PMMM to begin with was that ergmgrd ____ is so badass with her bow and could wreck characters from completely unrelated franchises.

It's like all the reasons those death battle videos are stupid personified.

I stopped watching Crossange halfway into the first season.

 

I couldn't get over how they tried to be very serious with the themes which they pulled off with the amount of times it was offset by lewd.

 

It was as if they tried too hard to impress that it was a mature theme.

 

Otherwise I liked the oppressive theme, the serious threat of demise / peril of the characters, and the characters personality.

 

Redheads the best by the way.

Alluka is male but identifies as a girl. How Killua and his family treat her and call her is to also cement that point.

 

Why does fatty call Alluka a Him then? :/

Very cleverly done to even further make it obvious on how they view Alluka and who cares about what Alluka think and feel

Actually yes I do, because the father calls Alluka a girl, and a monster

 

The mother does the same

 

Fatty calls Alluka a boy

 

Can you see my confusion here?

Well, Themes and such isn't really my strong suit to be honest.


It's not hard and even though the story creators usually have intended themes part of it is what messages the story had for you. It really isn't that hard to realize as long as you put in the smallest degree of thought. If you're not willing to see the purpose behind a story how could I ever trust a recommendation from you even if you did see everything in my top 10? It's basically like your saying you're completely incapable of telling the difference between a well written story and a poorly written one.

Ah, I don't remember the parents referring to her as anything but an "it."

Alternatively the other brothers refer to her as brother.

No I can't see your confusion.

Because they are all as*holes.

Chu2 continues to give me a good laugh. So I'll actually pace myself with that one and watch it when I'm in need of some humour.

 

In the meantime, I'll get started on Kill la Kill.

And that was a year ago!

Well believe it or not it's more than a "dick wagging" contest to see who is the most badass. PMMM had a very engaging and outstanding plot. Sure, that bit about Godoka's power was a part of it, but with the thread telling me to watch it and considering a few other factors, I simply had to. I gave it another chance, and then became hooked. 

 

Once I became hooked, I just couldn't stop watching it. It was so engaging! The characters were also likable and the art design, while I didn't like it at first, really grew on me quickly. It highlighted the consequences that some things are simply too good to be true. Granted, your wish was granted but at a very terrible price.

It was dark and despite all the hell she went through Homura would never give up. But until the end of the cycle, she was fighting something that was almost never ending, which has to be mind breaking and it would take a truly strong character to survive it. 

 

I hate your xbox.

It's that I'm not allowed on it today.

 

And it isn't internet, it's my computer.

I'll be halfway through and the most light hearted thing on it will be Welcome to the NHK.

I also like PMMM and Fate/Zero. 

 

Honestly Impulse, I'm pretty certain even if you had 50+ good anime behind you, it wouldn't change much considering your problem doesn't simply stem from not watching shows that people here recommend.

 

Hell it's not like anyone listens to my suggestions unless it's just a second-hand geth suggestion.

So taking people not listening to yours personally won't do you any good.

See how bitter and unlikeable I am now?

That's how good it has done me.

I think some people might have listened to my recommendations, as few as I do of those; I don't watch as much anime as the rest have -- I know Milan probably wouldn't even have jumped into anime if I hadn't recommended Catherine to him a while back.. at least I think so.

 

Well you recommended Welcome to NHK.

 

I may not have watched it yet, but it got on my list due to your good review of it.

I must be getting poorly translated HxH episodes. The Father and Mother refer to her as a monster, but also sometimes say her. Fatty calls Alluka a boy, I don't remember what the eldest referred to him as yet I think he said her.

 

Either way I was confused and asked a question and House explained it just fine for me.

 

Yo, Simfan, Silva is legendary.

It's cool that you can think of other reasons to like the story/characters when pressed, but 'how badass' certainly seems like your default barometer.

I mean, tbh that's fine with me, not everyone has to watch anime for anything other than that kind of entertainment.

But your audience here will not be receptive to that sort of language about shows they feel are about more than how many planets they could wreck.

It's basically like your saying you're completely incapable of telling the difference between a well written story and a poorly written one.

The thing is though that people take away different things from every experience in their lives, including entertainment, and telling good writing from bad writing varies between people too. Twilight has a lot of followers for a reason, after all, and if there's something good to be found in those books for them then that's fantastic. If the guy in question can take something away from the story then that's great because it means it at least succeeded at that. You sometimes hear how artists wants to convey certain messages through their art, while others might have gathered something else entirely. An example could be glam-rock band Queen's song Bohemian Rhapsody. A 9-minute long song that is riddled with different varietys of musical genres and lyrics that reflect the shape-shifting moods of its story. Some believe it is about the late-front-man Freddie Mercury's personal problems. Some believe the lyrics describe a suicidal murderer haunted by demons or depict events just preceding an execution -- Others believe it's an homáge to Albert Camus' novel The Stranger in which a young man confesses to an impulsive murder and has an epiphany before he is executed, as probable inspiration.

Others just like it for its sound.

You don't go into a song, game, show or anything like it, expecting to learn something as much as solely being entertained which sometimes doesn't have to be so abstract. You go in to be entertained -- Of course the most precious thing about good storytelling is the added bonus of the experience granting you something to contemplate on. 

 

None of these interpretations are necessarily false, or even unheard of at all. I do hear what you're trying to say however -- If someone actually wants their recommendation to be heard then thinking outside the box would be ideal, finding assets, points, that would appeal to others. I think, generally, one should just go with the things they took away from the experience, and not think too much about whether it'll be taken into consideration by others too much because opinions are stretched out between people. Not much else to it.

They identify Alluka as a different sex.

 

Killua as a girl

 

Them as a boy

 

Etc etc..

 

It's no big deal outside that.

 

What matters is the

 

16YG1ua.gif.

 

HxH has a few gender ambiguous characters.

 

Kurapika being Quina from FF9

 

And Neferpitou in the manga referred to as a dude as well.

 

The other Zoldyck that looks like a girl and dresses like a girl is a boy as well.

 

Cos Togashi is chill like that.

Well whatever.

She is a she.

That they call her otherwise is there to illustrate how little regard they have for her as a human being.

As I said.

As*holes.

Just like the as*holes who write the wiki. Don't listen to them either.

An example would be like going through Bayonetta and your only takeaway is that Bayo is hot.

Alluka identifies as a girl, she's a girl.
