[ Anon Meme ]

[case]

F!S Anon Meme (the Seventh, and now on DW!)

Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

Some ground rules:
1. Going anon is encouraged but not absolutely required (for those who struggle with captchas and stuff).
2. No autoplaying/autolooping embeds, or embeds that cover/stretch the screen.
3. No dropping personal info or IRL contact info, etc.

That's about it, though!

I'll be linking some general/general-fandom threads I see so people don't repost new threads with the same stuff.

Unpopular Ships
Obligatory Masturbation Thread
Fandoms you wish existed
How old are you?
What series have you always meant to watch/read/play/etc. but have never?
Time and location
Female-centric works
How do you feel about Tumblr?
Pet thread
Guilty pleasure thread
Favorite old shows
First fandom?

Anon, I have to agree with your addendum. Not all of those series are very good. I would actually call at least half of those downright bad, but that might be a YMMV thing.

With anime I think you have to be careful with reccing stuff. Because just because it's female-centric or even has an all-female cast, doesn't mean that it's not otaku-pandering sexist crap. There's a lot of anime out there with an all-female cast that still manages to completely suck at presenting interesting female characters or having good writing.

I watched most of them for specific tropes and I thought they were decent, if not great, for female-centric anime with those tropes. The only ones I haven't watched were Marie & Gali (not my animation style) and Koihime Musou (RotTK genderbending rehash? No). There are only a few I'd absolutely watch again, not because the rest are shit but because I'm not in the mood for them.

Maybe I have a high threshhold for mediocre anime.

I think you do, too. Possibly too high, considering that with the sheer amount of female-centric anime out there, why waste your time on mediocre anime when for any given trope that you want to see a female-centric spin on, there are probably quite a few better anime out there?

And "decent, if not great" is far, far too nice a description of crap like Strike Witches.
