Not sure it's because of this but I can't get into this anime, tbh. The animation is gorgeous but I don't like any of the characters. And I feel that I'm alone in this since everybody is saying it's the best anime of the year. :/

[anthropomorphe.livejournal.com]

Pfft, you shouldn't worry about that. You shouldn't judge quality as if it's synonymous with popularity, because lots of horrible things are popular and lots of really good things aren't as well-known or acknowledged.

[gabzillaz.livejournal.com]

I know, I just... I really want to like it (again, the animation is gorgeous) but I feel like is trying waaaay too hard for some reason T__T And not liking any of the characters doesn't help. I know there are other series that are not as "good", but I enjoy them more.

[anthropomorphe.livejournal.com]

Ahhh, I know what you mean. It's obvious when things are trying too hard, and I think it's really annoying. :|;;

BUT I've never tried to watch it, since I've been busy watcing Mai-HiME and other series that were made like 6 years ago, but even if the animation is gorgeous, that shouldn't be the only reason you're watching it. If you don't like it, you shouldn't feel obligated to watch it just because other people do like it.

In the same sorta way, something doesn't have to be good for you to like it. I know that Drakengard is lol a shitty game, but I still love that, numerous flaws and all!

[gabzillaz.livejournal.com]

I study animation, so it's tempting XD

I just feel like I'm not getting something. I mean, I can see that it's a good series but... I don't find it appealing.

Oooh I know the feeling. I like cheesy fantasy stories :D

[anthropomorphe.livejournal.com]

Ahh, I see! I'm a history kinda person.

Everyone says that Madoka Magica is a great show, but I don't find that appealing! At all! Apparantly, that has good animation, too, but GOD THEY'RE ALL SO UGLY.

I like. Anything, really. Genre doesn't matter! From Mai-HiME to Bakemonogatari to Deadman Wonderland to World God Only Knows to Kimi no Todoke, as long as it's good, it doesn't matter at all.

My biggest guilty pleasure is
Strike Witches.
I MEAN, THE CHARACTERS ARE AMAZING AND THEY'RE HISTORICAL AND ACCURATE AND OH GOD THE VOICE ACTRESSES AND SOUNDTRACK, BUT. BUT. It's Strike Witches.

[baka-tenshi.livejournal.com]

To be fair though, the cutesy look is really just a trap for the plot.

And that's all I can say without spoiling too much (unless you already know). ;;

[anthropomorphe.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah, deconstruction people die, there's sadtimes, whatever.

Mai-HiME managed a deconstruction without making everyone look like they've been sat on by the world's fattest elephant. Bokurano managed an excellent deconstruction using the exact same idea as Madoka Magica without having to turn on the stupid ~*moe*~ crap to overdose.

I will say one thing for Madoka, though, and that's KAJIURA YUKI UNF UNF.

[baka-tenshi.livejournal.com]

To each their own, I guess! :( I thought the designs were cute (but I'm an oddball - I love cute, moe stuff...unless it's just pointless goo).

[anthropomorphe.livejournal.com]

I'd probably like it, if it wasn't so awfully disgustingly awful-looking. And fat and blobby and skjfskljsljflajs ew. And if the opening wasn't so annoyingly generic. Everything screamed of trying-too-hard-to-look-cute.

Which is why Bokurano, Narutaru and Mai-HiME will be my favourite deconstructions of MAGICAL CHILDREN tropes.

But, y'know.

[baka-tenshi.livejournal.com]

Haha, you probably wouldn't like Shiki then. The character designs are... kind of out there for a horror anime. It's excellent otherwise (except maybe the rushed ending) but it took a while to get used to the characters.

[(Anonymous)]

if you're deconstructing a moe series, you'd probably want to use moe characters.
Just sayin.

[anthropomorphe.livejournal.com]

It's deconstructing MAGICAL GIRL. The moe moe kyun shit is just a really unfortunate addition.

[orijinaru.livejournal.com]

I didn't find Madoka Magica appealing either. And for the record, yes I watched it past its third episode like the unwritten rule said to do lol.

Deadman Wonderland! :)

[anthropomorphe.livejournal.com]

SHE WASN'T AROUND LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO GET ATTACHED TO HER AND THERE WASN'T EVEN ANY BLOOD

I did not get the big deal about it. At all.

[baka-tenshi.livejournal.com]

I just wanted to comment to say how much I love your icon. :D

[orijinaru.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :D

[gabzillaz.livejournal.com]

I actually liked Madoka, I could even get past the character designs, which I really really disliked.

AnoHana though? I can't :/

I liked Strike Witches :P

[anthropomorphe.livejournal.com]

I can't watch a series that's too ugly! Because ffffff I have to look at it and it makes me sad. ESPECIALLY SINCE I KNOW SHAFT CAN DO BETTER THAN THAT.
ヽ(●`Д´● )೨

I liked Strike Witches :P

.......can i friend you

[gabzillaz.livejournal.com]

I ended up watchng it because the backgrounds and the music is divine, but I couldn't get used to the character designs XD It's always a dig deal for me.

Of course! May I friend you back?

[anthropomorphe.livejournal.com]

I almost watched it for the same reasons! It was animated by SHAFT, so weird-ass visuals were a given AND THAT ALONE TEMPTED ME, as well as the music being composed by Kajiura Yuki who is my favourite composer ever she's fucking excellent. BUT IT WAS SERIOUSLY JUST TOO UGLY. THE OPENING IN ITSELF MADE ME WANT TO CRY CELL-SHADED TEARS OF SACCHARINE COLOURS.

Yeah, of course! It's just skfjka hardly anyone has watched Strike Witches because lol lolis with no pants AND THEY MISS OUT ON THE AWESOME CHARACTERS.

[gabzillaz.livejournal.com]

Kajiura Yuki is AWESOME. Everything she does is gold.

Ugh the op was horrible :P

It's a shame! I usually don't like loli designs, but I found the story fascinating and yay girl bonding and fighting!

[orijinaru.livejournal.com]

You're not alone. Personally I think AnoHana is overhyped. If I had to pick a series from this season to call it the best, it would be Hanasaku Iroha hands down.

[gabzillaz.livejournal.com]

I love Hanasaku Iroha too! I love the characters and the animation and everything <3

[orijinaru.livejournal.com]

That series definitely has a lot of charm going for it. It's rare to see an anime doing that with very little fanservice nowadays, lol.
