izzatuw Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 It's...Not quite the art form I throw a condescendence for, but rather most of it's character progression and inability to differentiate itself from most overused, recursive plotlines. While the art is something I can respect, I only grew a deep hatred for Anime due to the lack of differentiating plots from one to the next.Have you tried different genres? I can't find Assassination Classroom, Tokyo Ghoul and Shimoneta to be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Pharen Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 The last anime(s) I remember watching that were actually relatively good were Soul Eater, and Hellsing Ultimate. It's a shame that things like Sword Art Online and Attack on Titan are surfacing. Really seems to fuel the fire of hatred I have. I haven't finished soul eater mainly because I forgot about it, may have to add it back to my list, Hellsing ultimate was also very good IMO.

And that should have ended halfway through first season IMO. Edited October 19, 2015 by Arcane_Intelligence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

izzatuw Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I don't know about SAO, AOT, I like it but it's too damned overhyped, it doesn't really have anything special to it really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something that always kept you watching for whatever reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But It just didn't stick for me. I didn't feel like watching any more of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't feel like watching any more of it. Another thing that kind of throws me away is the lack of feeling in the voice acting at times. Hellsing Ultimate had quite the Voice Acting, if I were to set the bar of what I'd want in an anime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of english dubs have poor voice acting. I tend to watch subbed. Hellsing was one of the few exceptions where the english dub was actually more convincing than the original. And that's mainly due to way the voice actors portrayed the accents. IMO Japanese dubs don't often do other accents well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only theory I have is that it works differently from other browsers. But a continuation on my previous post... Always dubbed for me. I can't stand subbed things. I prefer to focus on what's going on, along with other details, and not have to worry about having to READ the words. Although I agree Dubbed acting can certainly use a good toning in this day and age, some do it well (See Tyl Regor, Alad V, Vay Hek, and Darvo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you might want to try Code Geass, that's one of the few that's unique and has good voice acting in english dub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izzatuw Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 You guys don't like English dubs? I found FMA to be good enough. You want horrible dubs? Watch any anime with Malay dubs. /shrug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still rather hesitant to get back into it, due to my brain and heart always trying to reject it. But if one of these days, I can muster enough to try it, I will.

And half the anime I watch don't even have english dubs anyway, so there's really no point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izzatuw Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 My point is Malay dubs are horrible. What they could and should have done is just put subtitles instead. I think the only reason Idm Shimoneta's ecchi is because it's really just about sexual themes. Than there are anime like Fairy Tail which isn't really an ecchi but they put it in there anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still a fun series to keep up with despite it kinda sucking. At the very least, it's a nice series to read on the side while you wait on other series you'd actually like. Best arcs, imo, would probably be that one guild with Juiva near the beginning, Tartaros and possibly the current Empire arc Edited October 19, 2015 by Nebam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
