ITT: Adnarel watches Magica Madoka

Temple of Kraden News: Welcome to the Temple of Kraden! ------ All worshipers may enter the Most Holy Place in single file, reflecting on the bountiful blessing Kraden hath provided unto him or herself since their last visit. Head coverings are not necessary, as true penitence and humility are found within. The Priests and Priestesses of Kraden endeavor to remind all that fresh orange juice is heavily preferred; only whores use frozen.

Greetings, heathen. Perhaps some fortuitous blessing of Kraden's grace hath led you to our humble Temple, or perhaps you are simply curious about this strange and wonderful cult. Should you be willing - and dare to hope - to achieve enlightenment, the door opens before you. Lo! Leave your old life behind! For once you step through, you become something more than just yourself.

You become a Kradenette.

Are you willing to make the rapturous plunge? Do you have what it takes?

One of us! One of us! One of us!

Already one of us? Make your presence known:

That's a really bad generalization. Try now >_> Also, I want to clarify I don't actually think that every children's cartoon after 1990 is shit, but a pretty large majority of them are. They've gotten dumbed down more and more, catering to the lowest common denominator. You know, like most every form of media.

You'd want to find studies or present a wide, representative range of examples.

Which is where criticisms of the canon come in (I still think the canon is useful, but definitely not absolute). But this is off-topic. I wonder... could you categorize every way of enjoying something along a four, or possibly even three-domain axis? So like, emotional enjoyment (how much it aligns with what you value), intellectual enjoyment (how much it aligns with what you've been taught is good), and physical enjoyment (how difficult something is to do). Spiritual enjoyment might be a more nebulous fourth category (how much it aligns with your faith), but from a secular perspective that could be argued as a part of emotionality (I personally would keep it separate, but yeah). So like, take the ubiquitous example of "guitar shredders" (Van Halen, Yngwie Malmsteen, Batio) -- intellectually and emotionally (to me) it might be vapid, but I can still appreciate it is as something hard to do. Whereas someone who's really good at guitar, it might not be seen as something hard to do. Transferring this to say, sports, where it's something that requires physical achievement, and franchise-long narratives of rise/fall/drama for emotional value; the intellectual component could be argued, via strategy or whatnot, but compared to what we think of as "intellectual" it might not be as esteemed. *The kinds of things I think of in the shower.

Unlike the guy from lemu's challenge topic, I am not nearly enthusiastic enough about this to put together a finely crafted argument that most people will probably ignore. edit: Satty, you have very fascinating shower thoughts.

I might've just misinterpreted your post.

Not the 'so bad it's good' or the 'mediocre'.

Is this still a thing? I may have missed it because I really skimmed the topic, but since I've only recently watched the anime (twice, once alone once with my girlfriend) I only now felt I could actually read it without spoilers XP Thoughts on Kyuubey? If you answered this already, and I missed it, sorry XD
