Reasons to watch anime

I watched Yamato. Got this music out of it

Spoiler

As usual, I find great music in anime. I watch for the feelz. Oh and I like this site, can't have you guys know more then me so I try to stay in the loop of what's current.

 

well this is a tough request coming from a member who already watched 2000 anime. i must say you already passed the area of no return. watch romance anime.

these days, i find less anime that interests me like @VeritasOdiumParit. it really pains me to be betrayed when an anime gets slapped with fan service. its a good bonus for me as im not that picky when it comes to animation. what i have been after is the story after all.

 

I used to watch anime for plot.

Now I watch it for the story.

I wach anime any time Uni allows me to (so five eps per week-ish).

How about you give me a reason not to watch anime.

 

right but we can agree it still will point to what to watch next that will be like a recommendation. hehe about zippang, id say go for it as it raised some good flags to me. galactic is a must for anime watchers so id say go for it as well.

 

It was okay. Also it was the remade version and all the previous stuff isn't nessary to watch. I hear it was faithful to the original so there's that.
However...

If what Noobs said is right and you passed the point of no return then for the love you ever had for anime watch this. Let this be your final attempt if it has to, you cannot quit anime until you at least give this the chance it deserves. It's a no nonsense fictional documentary of a universe eerily similar to our own.

This type of political banter is the bread and butter of the entire 110 episode anime.
See how that lady spewed warmonging rhetoric to justify the war? The democracy they were operating under has been strained to it's limits, it's people been put through a lot.
They approved the next invasion plan for the sole purpose of winning votes so their party stays in power. It's that kind of sick logic that strikes eerily close to reality but wait there's more to this scene.
That Job Trunicht guy? The one in the yellow suit? He didn't vote for the attack plan despite being a warhawk and very much a part of the current administration. The reason was because he knew they were in no shape of winning so he hedged his bets to reap the political points later on. How many politicians wish they could say they didn't vote for the Iraq War huh?

It's a one of a kind anime, the politics from the other side is just as interesting. There's action too but the driving force is meaty dialogue like this. This has always been a hard anime to push for because it's very different. It's biggest flaw is that it's a slow grind and it's very long. I really can't say much more, this one is special.
Oh don't look at youtube videos of it btw, there's a couple of big time spoilers. This one is fine since it's a drop in the bucket in the grand scheme of things.

 

nope i havent watched zipang. i just read the mal synopsis and it seems promising. though i must warn you with any anime that has time travel in the plot. the ending would either be messed up or something you wont expect. hence, it raised some good flags to me. why get bothered with number of eps? you have all the time after all. xD

 

Cause there's good p0rn of it.

 

Yeah, I ended up cutting down on anime rather than forums.

That's why I'm a bit more careful with what I watch, I don't want to watch anything worse than a seven, because I'll finish it and sometimes I can be stuck watching it for about two weeks.

Coming next is Psychic Detective Yakumo and Ao no Exorcist 2.

But I read about 1:30 a day in public transit, so I read about six episodes' worth of light novels in two weeks.

Lately a lot have been fun, yet also really bad (fun read, terrible anime), I'm mostly waiting for stuff to get translated in the series I care about and end up starting random series.

I don't know if I ever mentioned this, but plot is French Canadian slang for vagina.

Did you wake up this morning wondering if you would learn something useful today?
If so hope you spoke to someone else, besides me.

 

Reason for watching anime...amusement.

If anime no longer amuses you for whatever reason then stop watching so that you can remember what it feels like to not have that which anime gives you, which I would say is a distraction from the shortcomings of reality as well as laughter, tears and goosebumps.

 

My reason I watch anime is because I damn well feel like it. That's about it.

 

Reasons for watching

- Shipping
- Fanservice
- DeviantArt
- Cherami Leigh
- Rule 34 (see @Lince reply above)
- So much that can't be done properly "live action"
- Appealing art styles as opposed to ugly American cartoons
- Best soundtracks/great music
- Only form of entertainment that makes me laugh, cry, and connect with the characters
- The real world is fucked, in anime the average guy has a harem of beautiful women, super powers, or other reason life is awesome

 

Well, I mainly watch anime because of the unique and interesting storylines. But, these days I tend to find everything else is just all the same. The story will be about 'X' who is a high school student, who suddenly discovers (insert magical powers, divine beings, zombies, fairies, a new world, etc). I think once you have seen 152 different series of anime. You just run out of things to watch.

Recently I have watched Memories and Freedom. But, I wouldn't exactly recommend them straight away to people as the stories don't stand out as much for me. (Especially as I have seen quite a lot of different series of anime, as well as reading books and watching a lot films). Trying to find a new, unique, artistic story that has a message with some sort of meaning or that makes you think more about the world we live in is difficult.

 

I say that my first series is Sailor Moon.. which is true. My sister shoved it down my throat. However, the manga for Soul Eater is actually what got me into anime. I continued watching anime because I liked seeing the adaptations of the manga I had read. Somewhere along the line, anime and manga switched roles, and I started reading manga because I liked the anime, and wanted more.

This is where it got complicated: I started viewing anime is such an excess, that I ended up not completing hundreds of shows, leaving them at episode 3 or 4. However, I bookmarked the episode I left off on, and promised myself I'd watch it later so as to "respect the creator's efforts." As of late, I've stopped viewing new anime, and have just been widdling down at this list -- I got it down to 203 titles. My current reason for watching anime is not for entertainment, but for obligation. It's actually why I flinch at larger titles, because I'll have to complete them.

My reason for watching anime is because I have to, heh.

That being said, the satisfaction of watching anime that's actually good after watching a bunch of shows like C3, Ikkitousen, 11eyes, etc. is indescribable. Most people wade through shit to get to gold -- I eat the shit until I get to gold.

 

YES that's why! That's what I always do! Enough to get mad sometimes about it and dock points off an anime.

 

Let's see, I watch anime for enjoyment but also for critiquing purposes.

 

I watch anime because I just simply want to....................
...And for the "plot" and plot....
