hypoking Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 In future diary's case I think it has more to do with the usual time travel grab bag than anything specific to anime. you can only pile on so many paradoxes and timey-wimey balls before i go cross eyed trying to keep it all straight.

edonil Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Yeah, that one really did need another season. Or hell, a prequel to help it make a little more sense! So many questions that just got tossed out the window, lol. ---------- Post added at 01:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:23 AM ---------- Yeah, I noticed that problem just reading the Tropes page for future diary.

Webmonkey Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Most of all this is subject to opinion though. I guess you just have to find the genres that work for you. Horror, action, adventure, (hentai if you're a perv),.. I mean, there's something out there for just about everyone. I, myself, dislike bubblegum anime, as well as most giant robot animes. I tend to gravitate toward horror, and other animes that are targeted to a more adult audience (at least as compared to pokemon and the like) And I can't even watch American cartooning anymore,.. it honestly offends my eyes, it's so badly drawn. ---------- Post added at 10:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 PM ---------- In future diary's case I think it has more to do with the usual time travel grab bag than anything specific to anime. you can only pile on so many paradoxes and timey-wimey balls before i go cross eyed trying to keep it all straight.

edonil Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 It used to be good! Lord I miss Teen Titans, Batman TAS and Batman Beyond... What's bubblegum anime? Not a term I know. For the most part, I don't watch a lot of anime, I just found a couple that I really liked, but I don't tend to go hunting for new ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hypoking Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 You've got a point about jumbled narratives. Some of the best shows I've seen are built around focused, well paced story telling. Its why I loved Basilisk and Rahzephon. you may have needed a flow chart to understand them at points but they knew what the hell they were about. More 'n just throwing explosions and pretty set pieces on the screen and calling it a day. Edit: Adventure time for life Edit2: Lets be honest, Doctor Who has jack all to do with time travel.

Webmonkey Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 see,.. that's what I mean. Adventure Time is just plain terrible,.. but then, so is sponge bob. Ed>> Bubblegum is a term for child targeted anime. Again, pokemon and yu-gi-oh would be prime examples of this genre. There are also stylized differences in the picture cells themselves. Bubblegum tends to have a lot less shading details, more primary colors on the characters (to help keep the kids' attention), and the episodes tend to be "stand alone" for the most part. (ie; you could play them in just about any given order and it wouldn't matter much) Unlike more adult oriented anime. Which tends to be more linear and series oriented. These, you have to watch in order. I mean, lets face it,.. if you skip ahead 2 or 3 seasons of bleach and try to catch a single random episode,.. you're gonna be super lost,..

hypoking Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 (edited) Bleach is just pokemon with swords for chrsitsake. AIZEN used MIND ****! It's SUPER EFFECTIVE!

Webmonkey Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 I can see the comparison,.. but I think that's over simplified. The definition ignores the whole "spirit/afterlife" concept of Bleach. But arguments about storyline aside, the drawing in bleach is 100 times better then in pokemon, even in that image you just posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Shine Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 I don't necessarily think that complex = better. Otherwise I'd only listen to orchestral and art albums. Which I do, but every genre has something to offer. Simplistic but characterful designs can go a long way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypoking Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Bleach ignores the whole spirit/afterlife concept of bleach. I'm not going to hold myself to a higher standard than the series itself. When's the last time someone brought up the whole escorting someone's soul to the afterlife bit? When's the last time someone brought up hell? And no the movies don't count. The whole 'wooooooooh! ghosts!' shtique got buried under an endless tide of training montages, power up sequences, transformation splash pages, and never bloody ending battles.

Webmonkey Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Not to shift topics,.. but in the realm of video games,... If Square doesn't get FF14 running soon, I'm gonna start getting unhappy. I'm usually a patient man,.. but I've had the game since it's release date (Aug 27th). And only managed to get on about 3 times. All the other times, the server is full, or they have everything down for maintenance for hours on end.

edonil Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Heh, yeah, much as I liked the first three seasons, once the Soul Society arc proper starts up, it really feels like it changes genres. It is what it is. I happen to like more complex stories myself, which is why my array of shows tends to be fairly small, even within genres I enjoy. I like Gundam Wing and 08th MS Team, but can't stand any of the rest of them, for instance. I think I just hate teenagers as protagonists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
