I understand that you think it's ... "dung", and that's why your estimation of it means next to nothing. Your opinion is tainted with bias because you expect hyperstylized SUPAH COOL over the top earth's crust-shattering action, as is typical with most anime. Yawn. Or girls in maid outfits with goddamn enormous eyes voiced by women in their 30's trying to sound like they're eight. It's painful. (Tara Strong being the exception - she's awesome.) You didn't like Dawn of the Seeker because it's not traditional anime, it tells a compelling story and has smooth and even animation throughout. Which is, of course, probably a hell of a lot easier to do with CG than it is with hand drawn animation.
That's why I liked it, because it's not the type of anime that your average pubescent anime fan enjoys. I didn't say that Paragon Lost was cheesy, I enjoyed the story and overall direction. Could have sworn I said that. Oh, wait, I did. I said the banter was awkward and poorly written, and I didn't buy into the emotion in several scenes.
It's not worth overanalyzing, it's a pretty simple disagreement in taste. Some people like Dragon Ball Z and Naruto and stuff that I would deem lacking in anything that could be remotely considered smart or compelling. When I grew up, good writing became important to me. Regardless of the age range that it was intended for. So, when it comes to cartoons, I'm picky.
Okay, dude, you're really moving this into a direction in which, would this be a discussion we had face to face, I might start to raise my voice just a little bit. Soooo, where to start...? (actually I really need to sleep, so I keep this short)
1) In my post I was only refering to the style and execution of the animation in DotS, which, from all I've seen, is pretty horrible. That is, as I stated, a matter of taste. I do would suspect that both I and dreman (with whom I'm actually agreeing, wtf, that's an unusual feeling) simply have more experience with anime and thus may have the ability to build a more informed opinion, but let's say it's a purely a matter of taste. What you're saying is "you don't like it, therefore you're biased, therfore your opinion is invalid". That's, I'm sorry, pretty damn stupid.
2) You're implying that anime in general is badly written stuff made for pubescent kids who like to see magical schoolgirls and mindless action. That's pretty damn stupid as well. There are lots of different genres and styles in anime, and while I can't judge you for your obvious ignorance about it I'd prefer you not to use condescending generalizations on principle. You know nothing about my or dreman's preferences, and I don't appreciate your implications that we don't value good writing and that we're not picky when it comes to our choice of entertainment.
3) ...no, really, I need to stop this and got the **** to sleep... Urm, final words: please, good sir, stop behaving like a condescending jerk and if you're willng to - educate yourself.
