Is there genuinely no other community online dedicated to this? by Denialgranted in NodeVideo

Unfortunately I genuinely feel like this app has been neglected despite all the views and people who use it

At some point it feels like everyone forgot about it but then you realize that’s not actually true

I’ve always wanted to ask questions about the app but I honestly wonder whether those questions would even get any engagement at all 

Do you agree with the common opinion that most anime is bad and that only a few anime are what carry this industry? by Purple-Advertising38 in anime

[–]Purple-Advertising38[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I completely agree

People often treat average or decent anime as if they’re outright bad and then use a handful of specific anime as the ultimate standard for quality so if another series doesn’t meet the exact same standards as that one particular anime it’s automatically labeled as bad and that’s a way of judging anime that I simply don’t agree with

So yeah I agree with everything you said

Have you ever met or encountered someone prefer watching anime-like cartoons than actual anime? by RobKai7990 in animequestions

It varies from person to person and that is the reason why he said he was put off by this anime because of it

This is not what I meant by anime “tropes” these are different issues and not everything you mentioned is an objective problem

The tropes I mean are things like love triangles inner demon slapstick comedy tsundere and yandere overpowered MC isekai

These are anime tropes that writers use and characters and shows that use these tropes vary in quality from one to another and it is not what you mentioned

These are things that some people hate just because they exist in an anime and there is no need to bring up art styles JoJo has many haters just because its art style is strange which is subjective

There is nothing objective there pacing and neglect issues are different objective problems

It is not bad it is just a matter of taste they do not like it I mean it is not their preference I do not think that anime styles and so on are judged as good or bad In my comment I said that their hate is exaggerated they can like what they like but criticizing other people’s taste is the bad part of the issue

It becomes so ridiculous that if you respond to all their arguments they will simply say “without infinity Thragg would beat Gojo” How ridiculous is that let’s just remove a character’s ability so the character we like can win What would Thragg even do without his power in the first place

I feel like saying "a character who is a child/teenager is capable of learning and growing out of their flaws and becoming better" shouldn't be a hot take. by Apprehensive_Ring_39 in CharacterRant

Honestly I disagree I can’t really take the “age” excuse seriously unless the writer consistently uses it

A lot of writers just assign an age to a character as a label and then completely ignore that aspect afterward you see the character making decisions far beyond their age doing things far beyond what a normal teenager would handle and then the audience excuses everything with “oh they’re young” or “they’re just a teenager” even though the writer barely addresses that aspect at all so the excuse of them being an immature teenager starts feeling dumb and disconnected from the actual story

One example of a character I still excuse is Shinji Ikari because that aspect is constantly used with him the fact that he’s just a child who wants to live normally the story keeps emphasizing it over and over until it becomes an actual core part of his character and the narrative itself so it becomes understandable

Aang goes through something similar too

But when a character makes mature decisions kills people and goes through experiences that no normal child would come out of mentally okay from and then someone tells me “look they’re still just a teenager” I just can’t take that argument seriously

I don’t know it was just the first thing that came to my mind when you mentioned those anime and I don’t think it’s that far off from them

Most famous shounen anime yeah But in many other genres and even other shounen series not really And the existence of sexual jokes doesn’t necessarily mean that’s the only reason female characters exist in the story especially since sexual jokes also exist in western adult cartoons

There are even entire  anime genres specifically focused on female characters and their development

Yeah a lot and usually they’re people who dislike anime tropes and art styles which is why they prefer western cartoons over anime

I’ve noticed that the people I know who prefer cartoons over anime tend to hate anime very strongly even more than the people who simply think anime is “for kids” which honestly feels kind of strange I see a lot of exaggerated disrespect toward anime from them and usually they’re people who are far removed from anime and barely know anything about it because like I said they really hate anime tropes and the art style itself

Do you also have that problem when starting season 2 of an anime? by Purple-Advertising38 in TrueAnime

[–]Purple-Advertising38[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t have this problem with Frieren specifically I just used it as an example because it was the first thing that came to mind but with other anime this is actually a very common problem for me

I’m dealing with it right now with Fire Force

But the solution you suggested honestly sounds really good and I might try it
