- May 10 21:37:41 <theomeo> suddenly, everyone who is talkin bout how badass sword art online is
- May 10 21:37:46 <theomeo> is hit with fairy adventures
- May 10 21:40:30 <Cryswar> what's with /a/'s hate-on for sword art online anyways
- May 10 21:40:33 <Cryswar> is it that bad?
- May 10 21:41:38 <Aliens> Because it's popular
- May 10 21:42:10 <ditv-toy> Guess nobody will ever hate you then, huh, Aliens?
- May 10 21:42:31 <Aliens> Ha! Hahaha... hah... heh. ;_;
- May 10 21:42:34 <Kusanagi> It's pretty bad Cryswar
- May 10 21:44:11 <scrubadour_mobile> #sickburn
- May 10 21:46:13 <theomeo> would say because SAO is kinda shounen-like and also the people who like it have shitted up the board pretty good
- May 10 21:46:36 <theomeo> i dont think a week has gone by without a 'Why does /a/ hate SAO' thread
- May 10 21:46:55 <Destati> Do those people even like the series though
- May 10 21:47:10 * Pasternack (~Pasternac@cobras.everywhere) has joined
- May 10 21:47:10 * ChanServ gives voice to Pasternack
- May 10 21:47:11 <Destati> People who make those threads just want to troll /a/
- May 10 21:47:11 <Kusanagi> I would say I hated the characters and thought the second half was really lame once they were no longer risking their lives
- May 10 21:47:43 <Kusanagi> We got some nice fatel pulse doujins tho
- May 10 21:48:01 <Kusanagi> The fans are eh
- May 10 21:48:11 <Kusanagi> They aren't really as big of a problem as IRC was
- May 10 21:48:17 <Kusanagi> They mostly keep to themselves
- May 10 21:48:30 <Kusanagi> But cause it was so popular people keep remaking the fucking threads
- May 10 21:48:37 <Kusanagi> It's almost Naruto spam level at times
- May 10 21:50:27 <theomeo> i would say normals saying it was the best thing ever did not help the critical reception on /a/
- May 10 21:50:35 <theomeo> then again SnK had a similar thing going on
- May 10 21:50:46 <Kusanagi> Well SnK's problem is different though
- May 10 21:51:03 <Kusanagi> The anime only fans are fucking stupid and post stupid shit that annoys the manga fans
- May 10 21:51:15 <theomeo> and log horizon was even more light hearted and nobody cared about that
- May 10 21:51:43 * morobrens has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
- May 10 21:52:00 <theomeo> so i dont really know, i think people just call it shit endlessly now to berate people who like it, more than actually hating the show
- May 10 21:52:05 <Kusanagi> Log Horizon got a small following though cause of the author coming to the board
- May 10 21:52:09 <theomeo> would say there's a large amount of people who havent watched it anyway
- May 10 21:52:15 <Kusanagi> He got respect for that
- May 10 21:52:52 <theomeo> even before that the threads were fine, databass etc, but still mostly free of 'show is shit kill yourself' style posting lol
- May 10 21:53:11 <Kusanagi> I saw that klk thread earlier
- May 10 21:53:19 <Kusanagi> Someone posted Naruto was better than klk
- May 10 21:53:23 <Kusanagi> That didn't fly well with me
- May 10 21:53:31 <Kusanagi> All the other hate I didn't care about but come on
- May 10 21:54:08 <theomeo> KLK isnt even that bad
- May 10 21:54:33 <theomeo> but i think the fans (who also happen to like TTGL, which i dont understand) have an attitude about them that is sort of i dunno
- May 10 21:54:34 <Kusanagi> I liked it a lot
- May 10 21:54:44 <Kusanagi> I don't like TTGL
- May 10 21:55:12 <scrubadour_mobile> Heretic
- May 10 21:55:18 <ditv-toy> AoT is shit and its writer is a fascist asshole.
- May 10 21:55:21 <theomeo> i hated TTGL, but i'd try not to bring it up too often on /a/ because i know there'd be some shitty posts in response to it
- May 10 21:55:34 <Kusanagi> ditv-toy pls
- May 10 21:55:50 <scrubadour_mobile> >Hating ttgl
- May 10 21:55:52 <Kusanagi> There's a lot of people who hated TTGL
- May 10 21:55:55 <scrubadour_mobile> :(
- May 10 21:56:02 <Kusanagi> Well I mean
- May 10 21:56:21 <Kusanagi> With /a/ yea
- May 10 21:56:31 <Kusanagi> I've seen TTGL threads full of nothing but hate
- May 10 21:56:37 <scrubadour_mobile> In my opinion that's like hating fun :( but i guess maybe i am easily amused 2pleb4u
- May 10 21:56:39 <Kusanagi> I've seen the same with CG too though
- May 10 21:56:39 <theomeo> TTGL had two points, on one hand it was an homage to old mecha bullshit, and if you're some kind of higher-level anime watcher who can appreciate that i cant really argue against it
- May 10 21:56:43 <ditv-toy> Kusanangi: anteater.jpg
- May 10 21:56:45 <theomeo> but the story on it's own is just terrible
- May 10 21:57:11 <ditv-toy> *Kusanagi
- May 10 21:57:22 <scrubadour_mobile> Yo nigga if i want a cool story i read a book
- May 10 21:57:27 <Kusanagi> I agree the story was what ruined it for me
- May 10 21:57:28 <scrubadour_mobile> But oh well
- May 10 21:57:43 <Kusanagi> I have a friend who likes it a lot though
- May 10 21:57:49 <Kusanagi> He watches it like once a year
- May 10 21:58:26 <ditv-toy> One of my college buddies wooed a girl by carving her a spiral key in soapstone for a necklace.
- May 10 21:59:17 <theomeo> for some reason japan cannot make a good story that also has good action
- May 10 22:00:10 <theomeo> and also lack of a middle ground usually too
- May 10 22:00:28 <ditv-toy> *Serially They can do it in movies occasionally and short subjects consistently.
- May 10 22:00:33 <theomeo> [battle shounen] -> [action-packed drama] ->>>>>>> suddenly everything is moe
- May 10 22:00:55 <Kusanagi> What about moe police in Psycho Pass
- May 10 22:01:07 <ditv-toy> Moe is the black fire burning in the centre of the universe, driving the wheels of heaven.
- May 10 22:02:22 <theomeo> well i meant more like an action middle ground, moe things can be mixed in with action but, i've rarely seen a decent dramatic story with _some_ action, think psycho pass and bebops fall somewhere into that category but its rare anyway
- May 10 22:02:43 <Kusanagi> Space dandy
- May 10 22:02:44 <theomeo> they either have to go all out on the action and make the story suffer because children, or appeal to SoL lovers or something
- May 10 22:02:47 <Kusanagi> Except it has no story
- May 10 22:03:15 <Kusanagi> SoL with panties is why I'm here though
- May 10 22:03:47 <HD-DVD> lol
- May 10 22:04:00 <ditv-toy> What's SoL?
- May 10 22:04:04 <theomeo> i like all sorts of stuff but i do have a preference
- May 10 22:04:05 <Kusanagi> Slice of life
- May 10 22:04:14 <Kusanagi> Are panties one of them
- May 10 22:04:30 <Kusanagi> Is it why you are here
- May 10 22:04:32 <theomeo> depending on genre and demographic, yes
- May 10 22:04:43 <ditv-toy> Oh okay, I thought you were referring to a specific anime.
- May 10 22:04:46 <Kusanagi> I'm here for the anime butts too
- May 10 22:05:29 <ditv-toy> Figmas have Patented Ass Technologyâ„¢ that's off the chain.
- May 10 22:05:36 <theomeo> I like DxD for what it is, even though I know it's not a masterpiece, titty lasers and body related comedy, or MM! for similar reasons
- May 10 22:05:46 <Kusanagi> DxD was pretty awesome
- May 10 22:06:06 <Kusanagi> Hypno butt is forever
- May 10 22:06:49 <theomeo> shame i dont really think S2 was as good (we knew that'd happen) can only hope they were saving budget for S3, art was worse and so were OP and ED, but LN readers knew S2 would be shitty because LN was shitty around that time
- May 10 22:07:07 <theomeo> it gets way funnier later on if you wanna kill some time and read it
- May 10 22:07:09 <Kusanagi> I needed more hypno butt in the second season
- May 10 22:07:25 <theomeo> i didnt know there could be so many retarded superpowers
- May 10 22:07:35 <ditv-toy> Man, all these acronyms are just serving to remind me how out of touch with the anime game I've become.
- May 10 22:08:01 <theomeo> ditv-toy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_School_DxD
- May 10 22:08:25 <theomeo> OP = opening, ED = ending, LN = light novel, not sure what else will help lol
- May 10 22:08:56 <ditv-toy> theomeo: Thanks, but I've looked 'em all up (and I know the termes d'art), but my point still stands.
- May 10 22:09:10 <Kusanagi> /a/ uses acronyms all the time (pretty cause lazy but also likely so they don't spoonfeed people)
- May 10 22:09:27 <ditv-toy> I haven't been vaguely "with it" since like TTGL, *maybe* Casshern Sins.
- May 10 22:09:45 <theomeo> i think OP and ED at least originated in nippon
- May 10 22:09:50 <ditv-toy> Which I couldn't get through, because god damn.
- May 10 22:10:14 <Kusanagi> Casshern sins is pretty bad I think I only watched like 2 episodes
- May 10 22:10:19 <ditv-toy> Still love cashews, though, best nut.
- May 10 22:10:31 <Kusanagi> ur a cashew
