    Akira's one of my favorite movies ever

    Still can't believe I didn't even see that until this year

    Watch Princess Momonoke, Redline, Akira, or Cowboy Bebop and tell me anime is bad

    Redline is a triumph from an animation standpoint.

    But, I would say outside of that, that it is pretty bad. Like the story, plot, characterization, etc.

    I think it is worth watching for the visuals alone but I can see someone disagreeing on that.

    Anime is at its best when it is stupidly over the over the top in ways no that no other media does

    It's at its worst whenever it tries to acknowledge its fan base

    Like I can get into a full-on rage pretty quickly by thinking about stuff like

    For example

    "Humorous" girl-on-girl sexual assault

    If you want my opinion on that and how commonly it's used, hoo boy you got it buddy

    I quite enjoy more mundane anime like Tokyo Godfathers.

    It's a joke. The last anime thread was last year on April 1st.

    My body has been trapped in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber since the last anime thread waiting for my rematch with @Brogey

    I don't recall it ever being used on any anime I've liked. Maybe you just watch Bad Anime™

    I also cannot recall ever seeing it in an Anime I've liked, a big reason being that it is almost impossible for me to like an anime that stoops to that level

    But I've seen it often enough

    Cowboy Bebop is the eminem of anime, it's pretty good but a lot of people decide to stop there

    Redline is great but why is there like a fifteen minute long poorly animated Akira scene in the middle of it.

    Still can't believe I didn't even see that until this year

    I only saw Castle In The Sky last week, I'm half glad I could see it at an age where I can appreciate many details in it, and half depressed I couldn't grow up with that in my life

    I just

    Argh

    I really want to want to watch the rest of Cowboy Bebop

    But there's something about anime past a certain age that puts me right off

    I love the opening (Tank!) and I found the 6 or 7 episodes I watched to be entertaining overall

    But it is completely unappealing to me on both an audio and visual level

    Did you just insult Yoko Kanno and The Seatbelts?

    Go to anime jail.

    Never return.

    I know, not a popular opinion, that one.

    I don't like jazz so even good jazz is not something I enjoy

    (I'm assuming those bands are jazz, I only remember hearing jazz music)

    First they came for the Animes, and I did not speak out-

    Because I was not an Anime.

    Not liking jazz is not something I can comprehend.

    Like, I knew people who didn't like jazz must exist, I just didn't want to believe it.

    I can't even be mad or upset about this. All I feel is sadness.

    If it's any consolation, my musical tastes are in general VERY unusual and I would not at all view myself as a guy who's opinion on music counted for anything

    i think anime is bad

    anime is too large to make universal statements on, but if you are an anime fan your favourite anime is probably shit

    unless you are hullis or @miscellaneousinsanity because Legend of the Galactic Heroes is not only the best anime ever made it's the best space opera made to date, with Deep Space Nine as a close second

    I really wish I could understand and relate to a normal person's musical taste

    I suppose this must be what a sociopath feels like

    Great there's another analogy for me to use

    I'm a musical sociopath

    Yes and no.

    It is the best Trek Spinoff episode ever but somehow my favorite from that time were all TNG. Inner Light, All Good Things, Measure of a Man... At least half dozen more off the top of my head.

    As for TOS I go with Balance of Terror.
