Yet another fairly generic shonen action mecha series with annoying characters, versus a great anime among the best of its kind? It's really not a very hard decision to make at all. Angel Beats is something I love. It has a few minor issues, but they don't blemish its greatness much. E7... that's something that I might consider watching if it was on TV and I couldn't find anything better on. It'll never be anything more than that, it can't be with its concept, genre, story, and characters.

Hahahahahahaha, this is great, but no. AB has more than a few minor issues, and you loving it doesn't change that. It's a terrible show. I hope you're not recommending it to people.

You liking it is one think, but making others suffer through that atrocity is wrong.

Wait I missed this. Sorry Legoman, but I don't agree.

I do like Angel Beats a lot though because it is batshit insane.

I think I'll watch Angel Beats first before beginning any other Key anime.

I disapprove of this blatant Eureka Seven propaganda.

But Bones needs all the propaganda it can get in these trying times.

I wanna point you to Legend of Korra...

Anime is okay.

All this talk of Angel Beats being terrible has me the wrong kind of curious.

Also, so far, Tsuritama is definitely my favorite show of the season.
So colorful. So bizarre. So playful.

I would like to respond to this post from the last thread: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=37116242&postcount=19994

Firstly, Inception has neither style nor substance and is a bad movie, which brings me to my next point,

Substance and style coexist. If you think one work does not have one, then it does not have the other either. Don't pick and choose.

It can't be worse than the type of curiosity that lead to you search the internet for Kirino ponies, so you might as well watch it.

I blame AnimeGaf for not taking that AOTY poll seriously and letting Angel Beats win. Now everyone thinks we like it.

On the list of things we should feel bad about I think that ranks rather low really.

No joke. Counterculture is the definition of hipster.

The counterculture of the 1960s encompassed a lot more than the modern hipster movement. It involved politics not to mention the art and musical renaissance that it started. They're fundamentally different things. Just because two 'sub-cultures' oppose the mainstream doesn't make them similar. The counterculture stood for very specific things, I have yet to see anything similar from the hipster movement.

 

[cajunator]

I wholeheartedly recommend it for the music alone. GIrls Dead monster is the right kind of entertaining. Its hard to describe the show though. Think about what Haibane Renmei would be like if Yoshitoshi Abe was on acid and gave the characters weapons.

At least you'll be getting the worst stuff out of the way first.

Seems like there's some Animegaf Sengoku Collection endurance thing going on, interesting.

Recorder and Ransel 16

three episodes in a row without the dumb gag...how is this even possible?!

I know that feel bro, I know that feel...

And Cosmic is making me want to re-watch Hayate no Gotoku, while I enjoyed it, I watched it at a time when I was a level 1 scrub and didn't have 1/1000th of anime knowledge I do now, so all his screencaps make it seem like he's watching a completely different show to the one I watched wtf!?

 

[Hellsing321]

Guys quit talking about Angel Beats. It is not on the AnimeGAF approved masochistic shows list for a reason.

Spoiler

Because we aren't that cruel.

I don't know, but honestly, I'm enjoying the FUCK out of Yami to Boshi.
Whoever recommended that, even if you did it with hatred in your heart, thank you.

Hipster is a much broader term than you're making it out to be. Non-mainstream=hipster.

You guys should listen to me because I recommend only good shows. And in the event that you don't like a show I recommend then screw you, there's clearly something wrong with you.

We can always have a revote like the people on gaming side who couldn't accept that MGS4 won '08's GOTY. Of course, that did backfire...

Pretty sure Hito posted the Kirino pony.

The bastard...

He also delivered several moe antrho pug drawings to me with disturbing ease after the ill-advised request I made in the previous thread. Hito is the Batman of terrifying anthro art, always prepared to make someone regret any passing curiosity they may express.

 

[Hellsing321]

Hipster is a much broader term than you're making it out to be. Non-mainstream=hipster.

Which is why the term is meaningless and people should stop using it.

To be fair, A LOT of people like it.

You just say that because you're a hipster.

hmmm, the latest ep of sankarea or the first episode of angel betas.....this is a pretty hard choice to make.

Somebody ratted me out I think, back in April. Who was it?

To put into perspective, not even Kana Hanazawa and Yuri could save this show.

They just need to make some new Sword of the Stranger!

 

[Jarmel]

That's way too broad of a term then. Certain political groups almost certainly wouldn't define themselves as hipster but your definition would put them under it.

Then Emmanuel would cease to exist! We can't have that!

Angel Beats is an outstanding show, your hating it doesn't change that. I know animegaf has taken upon itself to be the internet's #1 Key-hater destination, and I've said plenty of times how much I disagree with that (because I think Key is great), but that doesn't make it in any way true or accurate. It just makes it your opinions.

This is going to be a good thread.

I think defending myself is completely fair.

You're right.

What does either have to do with Eureka 7 or Angel Beats though?

E7 is one, AB the other.

But yeah, sure, I'll admit that one thing that makes me dislike E7 is its genre -- shonen action mecha stuff? I've never cared for most such things. It's mecha stuff I DO like, like Escaflowne, that's the exception; generally I don't find them too interesting. E7 is of course not straight-average mecha, but that doesn't make it too much more interesting, for me. Mecha shows are often boring. As I said, it was watchable, but based on its genre and concept it would be incredibly difficult for it to be the kind of show I would love, or would consider for any kind of "best of anime" list. It'd need to be Escaflowne levels of great and original, pretty much, and it's most certainly not that.

As for comparing the two objectively? Not sure if I could do that, but neither can most people here, as their ridiculous hate for AB shows. I do think AB's objectively better, yeah... better plot, better characters, more interesting drama...

I should be clear, though -- I don't think E7 is a bad show. It's not bad. Average, maybe even above average. But that's no competition for something as great as Angel Beats. No way, ever.

I expect nothing less but the stupidest of AB hate from you (perhaps the most vocal hater of show here), so yeah, that doesn't surprise me that you'd do that.
