Dialogue is bordering on incoherent samurai jargon. the show waste way too much time playing cicidas buzz sound, blurry scenes that ultimately have no point. Violence is datched, gore for gore sake. & such awful slow pace
To answer your first question, I am tired of those shows, but I'm not sure there's anyone to blame
I don't know... What about low standards from audience which encourage studio to keep the same formula going? If it still makes money and sell gigatons of goodies why not producing waifu matter above anything else?
While it might be exhausting for me to find an anime that I don't drop after episode one, having this huge burden of (what I call) 'modern anime' only makes the anime I do find all that more engrossing.
Yah, nice premise 10/10. That was my point with that user who rated AoT 9 over one episode. That double standard. If I rate a popular show 3 after one episode, I get stoned, on the other hand. These opposite approach are still both terrible, of course. Well, you always come back to great classics indeed. While you outgrow some of your old favorites. I am critical of any form of fanboyism. People argue they are rational, godless, progressist, but they only replaced the old deities by their own idols. Don't you dare touch them or they shriek like you violate the saint of saint.
See, I didn't even say a bad thing about AoT in particular, and I got called out violently...
Horrible anime needs to exist so that the dichotomy between rubbish and masterpiece is accentuated, in other words. If everything was beautiful, there would be no beauty left in the world.
Except the quest for beautiful and true is a very hard one. Many are called and few are elected. If these were the ideals, The flawed shows would still be interesting. There wouldn't be as many mediocre, sloppy, self indulging shows insulting your intelligence as the ones I described in question 1.
If you look at my club list, you can see I am member of the Garbage Connoisseurs. In a way, the very bad is also interesting. Industrial accidents are both entertaining in a deviant way and enlightening to watch. You can only reach for excellence if you have a trustworthy barometer of past failures. You now, it's as if you'd get a compass only showing the South, from it you deduce where the North is at. That's why I loath millennials who have no standard of appreciation whatsoever: they flush all these conceptions in the toilet.
Maybe that, or I hold myself to slightly lower standards and allow myself to meet more masterpieces than you do.
I have very low expectations at the start. I know one of the strategies from the industry is to lure fanbase with enticing premises, only to slack off at the middle of the series (or even earlier, shame on SAO!). That makes fans expect for something that is never fully exploited on most cases. If anything, I'd say I am somewhat of a Tsundere spectator; I am very severe at first but once a show grows on me by showing its core quality over time, it never loses my respect. Constant quality throughout is where I see a masterpiece. I can excuse filler, but not blatant cope out done in the name of laziness.
I enjoyed the way you answered at my last post. I thought you were another of these proudly idiots greeting everything from Japan like it's Godsend, but you proved me you aren't one in company of Volbla...
I don't agree with your line of argument but it made sense.
That said apart, I will keep it up, for the beauty and the truth being ultimately recognized as ideals to "inspire awe", as you said. There's no need to tell you that Japanese art style is magnificient overall. However, in these obscure times, the truth in art is a widely forgotten notion as it's about appearance over substance.
So I ask you two questions before bidding you farewell: are you in awe as the same gimmicks with little variations are tirelessly recycled on new hyped shows? Wouldn't you prefer to see writers play around, deconstruct them and niftly put on the stakes? Because that's what I am talking about when it comes of better art appreciation.
