Unpopular anime/manga opinions!

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?

Like, Miral firehosing over literally everything and Boyd's rageboner over Madoka Magica and Saber are what I expect from them, so it's like the punchline to a familiar joke. That's what it means to have personas -- or in other words, patterns of behaviour you expect from your friends. It makes me, at least, laugh. I don't take it personally, and I don't expect Boyd or Miral to take it personally when I shitpost their stuff either. There's a kind of trust implicit in it that I really like. But, I do recognize it's not for everyone. At least, though, it almost never extends to personal attacks or insults, so it's not breaking any rules.

I feel like I don't really know them on a personal level though, so it doesn't quite have the same effect for me. I really need to talk to you guys some more on Skype or something.

Worthy Posts: 73 Group: Clanless Member #1,254 Joined: November 29, 2014 Gender: 3 of them. Country: Australia True Name: IT WAS ME, DIO!	Hmm, unpopular opinions regarding Anime/Manga... Well for one I actually prefer the dub of Haruhi, I tend to get flack for that... I honestly don't care too much for KLK, even after being a big fan of TTGL. In fact most series that come out and gain quick followings I either can't get into or simply don't like from either an aesthetic or storytelling standpoint. Shingeki no Kyojin, RWBY, Aldnoah etc.. The only ones that have pulled me in are continuations of existing series which were already considered classics. Things like the new seasons of Mushishi or JoJo's. Then there's the series that the fandoms try to make look bigger or more interesting than they really are. I like Eva and Madoka on a small level, but those Animes are WAY too overhyped in my opinion. Oh and don't get me started on Fairy Tail or the numerous "stuck in an MMO" series that are out now. Maybe I just have a weird sense of "Anime Elitism" because I grew up watching things like Cowboy Bebop, Kimba, MSG and such. Man my friends hate me for making comparisons to older stuff so often.

Well, all three of these are pretty bad so that's probably why.

peytral pls Posts: 15,452 Group: Sol Clan Member #459 Joined: March 18, 2009 Gender: Miserable pile of secrets Blog: Ab Animo Pario Country: #0# True Name: Peytral Aznable	A lot of really popular things have some kind of mass appeal regardless of quality or have some big names or lots of advertisement behind it that sparked its fame. Although it's not the "popular opinion", on the internet you'll probably find more people that dislike those shows than ones that like it unless you delve into the more "pub" places like MAL that're basically filled with the lowest common denominator.

Worthy Posts: 73 Group: Clanless Member #1,254 Joined: November 29, 2014 Gender: 3 of them. Country: Australia True Name: IT WAS ME, DIO!	Indeed, and I'm sure I would come across said people if I actually looked. However my exposure to people on the internet is mostly limited by the amount of time and the interest of the communities I manage, all of which tend to favour series such as those. However those are the shows with mass appeal as you said, making the opinions of people like us unpopular which is exactly what this thread's title is all about, no? We could hammer on the objective quality of these series all day, but in the end we're still a minority comparatively.

peytral pls Posts: 15,452 Group: Sol Clan Member #459 Joined: March 18, 2009 Gender: Miserable pile of secrets Blog: Ab Animo Pario Country: #0# True Name: Peytral Aznable	I guess my point was more that for a thread like this, it's a little tricky to qualify what's "popular" or "unpopular" since, for example, it's a general consensus on Temple that Sword Art Online is garbage so nobody's going to be surprised if somebody were to post that as an "unpopular opinion". Also time for unpopular opinions: -Evangelion isn't very good and basically every single "clone" of it is much better. -Mecha is the greatest genre to grace the Earth. -A lot of dubs are mediocre at worst. -CGi isn't the cancer killing anime. -Children's shows and toy commercials are two of the blessings of the medium. Not even going to get into "____ is good but not nearly as great as the zealous fanbase thinks it is" because those are obvious and I'd be here for hours doing it.
