Seriously how is this show not in the top 10 or even 20, this show is pure comedy gold and genius mixed with some lonely themes and a point in life which every person goes through. The sexual innuendo, distorted characters and zany animation made this show so perfect yet 3 versions of gintama out rank it...

Cause the comedy isnt for a majority of people and is short so it doesnt get a advantage that long running shows do.

hell i dont like the humor in Gintama my self But i understand why its rated higher than this
"If you tremble with indignation at every injustice, then you are a comrade of mine"

When the union's inspiration through the workers' blood shall run
There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun
Yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one
For the Union makes us strong

"Win"? Are implying that there is actually something to gain out of this "conversation"? My point is that you shouldn't have taken my post seriously at all because I wasn't being serious. These types of threads serve no purpose because the answer to why this anime isn't in the top 10 is fucking obvious.

The only bad thing I've heard about this anime is that the subs are blazingly fast. Not sure if true or not....
Nor am I sure if that's a factor of this not being in the top 10 but I'd imagine some viewers being off-put by having to pause and play constantly or slow it down...idk.

Still gotta watch this myself.

Just this once, I'll fulfill whatever your wish is.

The dialogue is indeed very fast, the fastest i know of, but it's not unreadable, a lot of people got used to it after one or two episodes (me included)

I always tell people not to be scared of the first 3 minutes, the amount of dialogue they throw you is ridiculous, but there's no reason to worry about them. I know a good amount of people that dropped this at the first 3 minutes.

Not when I first went on to your list. One would think that you would have put it on hold or dropped it instead of keeping it on your watching list for three years.

I didn't think the first episodes were that bad. Anyways the hook is supposed to be the last couple of episodes. There's a reason why each episode seems to be kind of similar with just the club changed.

Then you're blind. Its been there, unchanged, for three years. I don't drop anime, I'll finish it eventually. My on-hold list is there to keep track of anime I have downloaded but haven't watched yet.

I wasn't saying that it wasn't there when I first went on, just that why would I look at it. Like I said, I wouldn't have thought that someone would leave an anime on their watching list for three years. And you only posted in this thread now, I thought that combined with it being in your watching section meant that you were actually watching it, there was no reason to look at the date column. So you don't use your on hold list for anime on hold, makes sense, and there are always tags to help you remember(since I see you use them).

MAL ratings are shit? Anyway this was an 8/10 anime for me. I enjoyed it a lot but I'm a sucker for anime that at least attempts to be unique. Generally something this abstract and different from more cliche anime will turn off a lot of viewers and the dialogue takes getting used to.

Being in top 10 means appealing to most viewers, most viewers means teenagers.

That aside, although it has its comedy moments, having innuendos doesn't equate to being well written.

And still, Bill will live on.
He will befriend the next inhabitants of the earth, beings of light who revere him as a god.
And Bill will outlive them all... for millions and millions of years...exploring, learning, living,
until the earth is swallowed beneath his feet.
Until the sun is long since gone.
Until time loses all meaning and the moment comes that he knows only the positions of the stars
and sees them whether his eyes are closed or open.
Until he forgets his name and the place where he'd once come from.
He lives and he lives until all of the lights go out.

Who? My friend has it rated a 4, and we share similar tastes. Besides, from what I have seen of Yausaa, his originals are all average or below. His only masterpiece was Ping Pong, and Devilman Crybaby was decent, but those were adapted works.

Lol who is Shrabster? His work on Kaiba was average or below, people just fool themselves because of the designs and the music. The first half was quite fine, but the second half was a convoluted mess. Anyways, I should probably watch Tatami Galaxy for myself to see if it is actually good.

Kaiba's first half alternated between 5,7, and 9 material. The second half was a straight 3 the whole way. I decided to be nice and give the whole anime a 5 which is good according to my rating system.

I have no clue what you'll think of Tatami Galaxy. Half of me thinks you'll think it's pretentious like FLCL and the other half of me thinks you'll think it's amazing like Ping Pong.

I do hope I like it, I don't mind being grouped in with the elitist Yausaa fanboys, as long as he actually produces good work. So far, I am really not feeling it. I also did not think FLCL was that pretentious, my biggest gripe was the poor characterization of some of the characters, especially Haruko and Naota's older siblings.

Tatami Galaxy is not an original work by him but the aesthetics and directing which will undoubtedly affect your view of the anime were due to his input. Whether you like it or not, he deserves at least some of the credit or blame.

Because not everyone has to think the same things as you.

Personally I found this show to be 100% unengaging, by episode 4 I couldn't resist it anymore and had to drop it. Nothing, simply nothing caught my attention here, the show was completely unable to make me care for anything. And my interest in picking it up eventually is literally zero.

Because the show is a prententious bs with good animation and lot of dialogues that makes it look deeper than it is. It is a simple show with nothing interesting nor remarkable besides the animation and soundtrack, things that don't add anything for these types of shows imo.
