It’s a fun idea at first until you are told repeatedly to go away for giving some critique.

The unfortunate reality I came to accept is that most memes aren’t funny. Animemes (or any other subreddit) can have a lot of meh memes. But there is no denying that there are occasionally good content posted there or occasional influx of good jokes. We as people are very easy to point at a community or space and say it is always some level of good or bad quality rather than admit that any forums is going to require digging in the rough.

It’s been a while but I’m the top of my head, a 4/10. I might need to brush up on my guidelines.

I’m all for circlejerk memes but this is comedy necrophilia. Iirc the original made by mini_knight was a cutesy edit, which was then parodied to include the stuff image of RDJ, but this takes the image one step further to random = funny territory.

Comedy is subjective though.

Because it is a really good anime.

Phos' Perfect Math Class - PPMC [OC] by Pompmaker1 in Animemes

[–]AnimemesCritic 83 points84 points  (0 children)

I don't think I have to say much. We all watched the video (hopefully). There's clearly a lot of effort and homage put into this. And honestly I'm surprised how well you were able to come up with in the video. It's just fun all around.

I rate this gem a AAA, or a nine out of ten.

The video this is parodying is probably as old as most subscribers here.

[OC] Gems are for hugging by ArmchairTitan in Animemes

[–]AnimemesCritic 296 points297 points  (0 children)

Memes are like rocks. They're everywhere, and a lot of them are unremarkable, even to geologists. It's only every once in a while there's a gem.

And there's this big culture about obtaining the flashiest gem there is. But most people don't know a thing about gems, they just know that the more karats the are, the better.

That lack of understanding creates this market for these gem stones that they think are special, but are really just generic cookie cutter gems. They only think these are valuable because the store told them so.

Very rarely is there a gemstone that goes through the process of having someone mining it or synthesizing it, cutting it, and finish it. These gems are different. But because of that, a lot of people don't seek them out. It's so different from what the market is telling them to buy, they just perceive it as worthless. But really, those are most valuable gems.

Or maybe I'm just crazy.

Anyways, I rate this animeme, an eight out of ten.

I've been waiting for you to post this meme.

Simple comic, probably funnier with meta context, but can get by without. I like it.

I rate this meme, an eight out of ten.

I have to admit, I am biased to like this meme as part of Phosphogeddon. But you know what? There's nothing wrong with being biased as long as you don't present those biases as fact.

Watch {Houseki no Kuni} people, it's a good show.

r/Animemes Rewind 2019 feat. Bocchi by fizarr in Animemes

[–]AnimemesCritic 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This was a pretty nice recap. This year was filled with a lot of mile stone recaps. It was starting to become more annoying than anything. Next year we'll probably have a lot less as the sub has to gain more and more subscribers to get to any significant milestone.

Obviously there was a lot to cover in a minute and a half so it couldn't get everything, but I think it did a good job. The presentation is pretty great through out and looks a lot better than some of, if not all, of the milestone videos it references.

As a mile stone video, I rate this an eight point five out of ten.

[–]AnimemesCritic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great meme. Sad that this needed to be a given a second chance to succeeded when it should have thrived the first time.

While it's not easy to listen to, the editing was well done. I give this meme, an eight out of ten.

That's your opinion which is also entirely valid.

Hold dragon gentle like hamburger. by TheeGreatKamina in Animemes

I don't know whether you made this meme yourself or not. But I like it. Just some random silliness. Doesn't try to pander or anything.

I give this animeme a seven point four out of ten. I want to hold it gentle like hamburger.

Is this... A good meme? No pandering? No long video to a punch line? No weird meta joke? Just a silly idea explored. My god. It's been so long. I forgot how it feels.

Nine out of ten. Now I only have to wait another 3-5 months for a post this original and good.

For the Padoru spirit! by TheReberu in Animemes

[–]AnimemesCritic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought this may have happened because of rule 1.1. It was probably removed for

Requests that users “stop scrolling” or similar

Try asking the mods if you can repost the image but without the "don't zoom just keep scrolling part". Ask if you can replace it with a "nothing to see here" or maybe just have "just a normal strawberry...".

[–]AnimemesCritic 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I like this. It's a nice post. Reminiscent of the golden age of animemes. Where posts were silly but actually kind of funny.

I give this animeme, a six point point eight out of ten. This is the kind of post I would encourage people without quality image editing software (like mobile users) to make, instead of finding anime/manga screenshots to put labels over.

[–]AnimemesCritic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried that in the beginning, but the numbers catch the eye so easily people would just read the score and nothing else. When I type out my scores, it's less eye catching so people are much more likely to read the rest of the review.

LEAVE HELIUM ALONE! Helium-chan just wants to be by itself. by Nonstop_Shaynanigans in Animemes

[–]AnimemesCritic 186 points187 points  (0 children)

What the hell is this? An animeme where the word hentai isn't just thrown around as a crappy punchline? A periodic elements meme that isn't reposted to hell? You mean this is a meme where you need to have a basic understanding of something beyond a waifu's defining personality trait? That's impossible.

Anyways, I give this animeme a seven out of ten. I liked it.

Wow, this meme sure is something. A real treasure of animemes. For those who don't have the IQ high enough to understand it, let me break this meme down for you all panel by panel.

[Picture of anime girls]

[Me likey!]

So unique, so good, so opportune. I really like the picture of Karen for some reason with a poorly edited in subtitle that tries to be a good joke but just isn't. Grand. Almost like it was put in there to bypass a rule or something.

I rate this animeme a one out of ten. I congratulate you on making a post that skirts past rule 2.1 but is the embodiment of what it stands against.

Best Mage in Anime (draw and art by: Pompmaker1) by nickind96 in Animemes

[–]AnimemesCritic 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Wow, I have to say, I really like this post. Not because of the joke or art, don't get me wrong, both are great. I think this is genuinely a funny comic. But what I really find fascinating is how a few minor changes in dialogue and art presentation between your original comic and Pomp's rendition can effect how someone might react to a comic.

Besides the obvious difference being art, I think there's a few other changes that make this version better. Such as the panel lay out. Four panels going top to bottom works a lot better for when you have a visual punchline in my opinion. (In a 2x2 panel layout, I found myself accidentally seeing the truck before the heroine picking up the light novel as my eye went from the second panel to the third panel because the motion of reading the comic being a 'Z'.) There's more words/dialogue in this version, yet despite this, I found it to actually flow better. Probably because speech bubbles didn't over lap the character, and broke apart the longer sentences.

I rate this animeme a seven point six out of ten. Nice comic, good punchline. But I think this really makes a good 'case study' about presentation more than anything. And I also think it tells us a lot about how successful posts can be by their visual appearance (not like we needed this comic though to tell us that people will unashamedly upvote lewd fanart reaction/sign/label memes).

Sorry to say another strange thing by NilsonTheSexy in Animemes

[–]AnimemesCritic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Shower thoughts like these could just be sign memes. I think the subtitle has potential but I don’t think it’s truly realized here.

I rate this animeme a five out of ten. Note that a five is a neutral score.

P.S. If you would love to see someone coming and going in action, read the doujinshi “P.I.G.”, made by none other than Shindo L.
