[*spoiler="Some Information"] This section will be info (includes the Rule of Three, Who you Should Blame, Why I Have Shit Taste (Content), How Tragedy Fuels Comedy, Why I Have Shit Taste (Characters), About Me)
I love a lot of things. I’m a pretty easy going chill guy who finds the world to be a very interesting place. When you find a lot of things interesting you begin finding a lot of things and liking a lot of them. People always seem to ask “What is your favorite of all time?” It is a difficult question to answer and it mostly came up when asked about music. I love music so it was hard to really determine what was number #1, until I came up with this rule. My personal belief is that you can have Three favorite things, not ranked from 1-3 but all equally 1. This is because my favorite Weezer albums of all time are Blue, Pinkerton, and White but on certain days one seemed better than the others so I figured it was unrealistic to have a single favorite because you can be feeling different which might make you appreciate one more than the other for a time. Essentially, you equally like 3 things. To put it in Anime/Manga terms, my favorite series of all time are Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, Haruhi Suzumiya, and K-On! Then you can have three sub-favorites. My favorite parts of JJBA are Part 2, 4, and 7. My favorite Protagonists in Part 4 are Okuyasu, Josuke, and Rohan. My favorite side characters are Yuuya, Mikitaka, and Tonio. The list goes on in either way to impossibly big and way too small.
I blame the shitty cringeworthy Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure meme pages I now hate and the Team Fortress 2 community for getting me to start watching my first Anime series. At the time I thought I would only watch JJBA because it has funny song references and punch ghosts but little did I know it would kickstart my dark descent into the Slice of Life, Action, and Comedy loving degenerate I am today. My favorite part was Part 4, when I first watched “Crazy Noisy Bizarre Town” I realized I was genuinely watching an Anime when I saw the explosion of a color palette and the most stereotypical Anime intro I have ever seen at the time (seriously the characters flying across the screen in different poses makes me smile to this day). I consider the episode “Let’s Go Eat Some Italian Food“ to be what made me stop judging Anime so harshly.
I also blame the Ace Attorney series for normalizing Anime art styles in my mind, it was the final push that made me say “this video game series is pretty cool, I loved the story and it has an Anime art style. Maybe I will enjoy Anime?” This series also pretty much created my fucked up views on Anime (see “Why I Have Shite Taste”). Along with my bizarre views, Ace Attorney gave me my favorite character in all of Gaming, Anime, and Manga history. My favorite Prosecutor who chooses Death, Miles Edgeworth.
This sarcastic bitch calling me a clown and shitting on me at every possible opportunity cemented Edgworth as my favorite character ever. I loved to hate him and later in the series he really starts to shine as one of the best characters. Edgeworth is one of the few antagonists that I can genuinely empathize with and understand his actions. He is one of very few characters that I can genuinely understand why he changes his behaviors without it feeling cliché or forced. He is a character that I find absolutely hilarious to watch and I love to see how he responds to situations. He paved the way for me to love other sarcastic assholes like Kyon (Who is my favorite Anime/Manga character).
”There’s something wrong with people who seek reality in fiction.” -Kyon-
I set the bar for entertainment pretty low.
I don’t care if something is lazy, stupid, or bad writing on one condition, if it is interesting. The Game Series Ace Attorney is one of the most interesting things I ever seen, I absolutely love the game but in reality it is so fucking stupid at times. Sometimes you figure out the murderer within seconds, sometimes you still have no fucking clue what a case was about (Im looking at you “The Kidnapped Turnabout”). The series is so stupid at times, I have been told by a lawyer that it is incredibly inaccurate (Who would have guessed?).
I will eventually get some images, calling a parrot to the stand, getting fucking tased, throwing a phone, the like.
I fucking love it, it’s insane and that is what makes it interesting. I believe as long as something is interesting it is good, the more I am able to think about a series and have dumb ideas the better. Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure objectively has some fucking weird writing and I love it. (especially Araki’s fucking facts that you can tell he just learned or found interesting “I hope my readers will be excited to learn about ‘rods’”) It’s stupid and I love it.
”Thanks Araki”
Even if something is awful in the moment, so long as it has some form of value in thought, I like it. I will never defend the Endless Eight, it is a travesty honest to god. Sometimes I put it into perspective, I think about how I excitedly wait for the next episode of a show and the thought of waiting week after week to be greeted with the same thing would be maddening. That is why the Endless Eight is so interesting.
[*img] I’m gonna put all eight Kyon-Kun Denwa here [/img]
If I had to describe watching the Endless Eight in full I would equate it to eating cockroaches (I live in a country that thinks they are disgusting, if you find cockroaches appetizing substitute this metaphor for something you personally find disgusting) It is something you do once and probably never again, in the moment you hate it, you wish you had never decided to eat the cockroach and you have the choice to spit it out or eat seven more. If you hate yourself you will probably eat all eight cockroaches, and if you are a self respecting person you will spit it out. However if you eat all Eight Cockroaches it makes for good memories, which is something I like, I am the kind of person that says “Fuck it, it’s not like it’s going to kill me.” So I watched all Eight Episodes. I knew what I was getting into but I didn’t realize just how bad it would be, my brother and I watched the first episode having heard about “Surviving the Endless Eight” in the comment sections of “Bouken Desho Desho” like a tale from a legend. The Prophecy (Top Comment)
The next day we prepared to watch one of the most bizzare arcs in all of history. The Endless Eight is fucking insane, the same episode over and over again but mildly different. It isn’t even like they just copy pasted, as far as I remember nothing fucking repeats. My Brother and I watched it all in one day taking breaks every few episodes, if I had to eat Cockroaches I would probably eat them all in one go. I started out furious wondering how they could do this and by the end I just accepted my fate. We genuinely paid attention to every episode not looking at our phones but still talking a ton about the episode. The only time we gave up was “Endless Eight VII” where we watched Bender Funny moments.
It was miserable, I will never do it again. It does bring back funny memories however, I am one to laugh at my own pain and losing my mind with my brother over some dumb Anime I like certainly feels funny. Looking at the Endless Eight from the outside it is a Masterpiece. It perfectly expresses the madness Nagato went through and how she might have gone Rogue during The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya.
All rounded to the hundredth. It is a total of eight episodes which is 160 mins or 2.67 hours. In the Anime Nagato experienced it 15,532 times, if you put that in terms of episodes (20 mins) that is around 215.72 days, if you put it in terms of the full 2 weeks Nagato experienced then it is 595.75 years.
To put it in perspective you only see 1/1,957,032 of the Endless Eight. I went mad after seeing 1/1,957,032, so I understand why Nagato went mad. All in all does this mean the Endless Eight is objectively good? Fuck no don’t ever watch that shit. It is interesting though, and that is what I like, you can clearly see through my math that I like thinking about the Endless Eight, I like things that can provoke thought even if they are terrible, so if I like terrible shit and I like stupid shit, what is it that I don’t like?
Cowboy Bebop is so incredibly fucking boring at times, the show is beautiful to look at and it has great music but apart from that there is no substance. It took me like a month to watch the show. From my understanding, “I am just too fucking stupid to understand it”. At least I hope so because that would mean one of the most famous Animes of all time is boring. I hate the million year old kid, I hate that monkey episode, I hate that guy that asked Spike to teach him how to fight, I hate the computer cult. I seriously fucking hate that stupid fucking clown episode (it is when I rezlized I really didn’t like the show), and above all else I hate any episode that features dumb ass Radical Edward.
”Maybe I’m just too Stupid to get it”
Cowboy Bebop had some good episodes, I love Cowboy Andy, Jupiter Jazz and The Real Folk Blues are fantastic, I was so interested whenever we saw more into each character's history. Unfortunately all I remember about Cowboy Bebop was wading through bullshit to get to the good bullshit.
TLDR: The more interesting a series is, the more I like it, I am ok with terrible writing so long as it makes an interesting story. I don’t think something has to be objectively good for me to find enjoyment in it.
My favorite genre of any medium is Comedy. As of right now 3/4 of my watched anime is Comedy. I am also the kind of person to laugh at misery, when I find something so terribly awful it makes me laugh. Maybe it is some coping mechanism, maybe I am deranged, or the wires in my brain are criss-crossed; the point is that when I cry, I laugh. As I watched that particular episode of Violet Evergarden, I cried the hardest I have ever cried watching fiction, and as I cried I laughed and laughed. I think I laugh because the fact it was so terrible, so heart wrenching. That doesn’t explain why I find it funny but it makes sense to me, I laugh because I cannot believe it could be so awful.
Looking for this frame made me cry again.
If you look in my favorites list you would see that all but one of my favorites has a comedy tag, that show is Neon Genesis Evangelion. I am definitely willing to argue that Eva is a comedy.
[*spoiler="Stuff I like"]This section will be things I like (Quotes, Gifs, Images, Songs, Characters)
[*spoiler="Shitposting"]Eventually I a’m going to write shitty reviews, this is technically my shit account so I am going to write reviews for greats like Nyoron = Churah san or whatever the fuck it is called (I fucking love smoked Cheese) I think the first one I will do will be for Neon Genesis Evangelion, I’m gonna write about how I think Shinji is too whiny and how I think Rei is hot, and if I was Shinji I would totally bang everyone.” I find the fact that Shinji might be gay a little weird, it doesn’t fit with the story.” I want it to exaggerated but not so much so that it becomes obvious “if I was Shinji I would get in the robot and kill them all and fuck everyone!” If you have any recommendations let me know, I truly want to write a review that misses the point so fucking hard that it becomes infuriating. I also wanna review Yuru Camp -triangle- (im going to spell it like that everytime) and I’m gonna give it a stellar 10/10 while equating it to watching grass grow or paint dry. I think I’m too stupid to enjoy yuru camp or something. Don’t worry I will also shit on things I like (Jojo is fucking awful sometimes) I also once saw kuswo ask people on the forums if anybody else watches anime with the sound off and I to this day can’t tell if he was fucking around or not but it inspires me. (Account, Memes, Praise, Neutral, Hatred, Forums)
This will probably get put into information when I make it look all pretty.
One day Hidamari Sketch broke me because it took up 10 spaces on my list and I realized that I don't want a shitty looking list dominated by OVAs, Specials, and Series with millions of Entries.
I give! I added the movie back into my favourites where it rightfully belongs! Please take mercy!
Like fr out of everyone I have met on this site you seem the least likely to get banned for anything???
Who?
What rapscallions are you talking you??
Come back to the light and goodness and awesomeness of me
No but apparently there are certain words and if you post them you get your IP banned for life because it tags you as a bot. Couldn't even access the site but I got in touch with some people on Discord and they talked to the mods for me
But beware because apparently there are mystery words out there that get you automatically permabanned with zero explanation HOORAY!
I asked them what the word was, but they won't tell me. Which is probably good... I don't have self-control... I would probably try to get to say other people to say it...
And I changed my name back because apparently people like this name? I had no idea anyone cared that much
Happy super late birthday to you as well!
We should just wish each other happy birthday randomly. It's so difficult to be on time.
Their frog is very fucking impressive, did they do it themselves?
Right?? They were someone from that server I invited you to but you ghosted us all on
Oh wow wowie wow wow you finally watched Kill la Kill! And you gave it a 9!!!!!!!!!
And? Mako? Isn't she the best? Top tier waifu material right there.
Even got lunch ready whenever you need it in the pocket dimension in her chest
AND you're watching NHK???? What a great show. It somehow makes the darkest topics hilarious. I hope you are watching in dub so you get to hear Tatsuhiro call women whores. I should rate it higher than an 8...
Top tip: after finishing, go back and rewatch the first minute of the first episode
Guess what I am watching? I'll give you a hint: it's a big ol' banner on your profile
Our affinity is awful what did you do
You missed it!! I rewatched through all of Haruhi and now Kyon is in my favourites
Also did you see someone stole our frog and designed it based on my pfp?
