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?

But wouldn't somebody who is well-versed in anime be able to correctly discern what is and is not shit?
You'd think so, but lol no
So anime actually dulls the sense of critical thinking and analysis in consuming media?

Consuming large amounts of something and being able to correctly discern what is and isn't good are separate things, Adnarel. Though I thiiiink you're just shitposting anyway

Well, I don't think anybody looks to me or Miral as experts in anime discernment.

Probably since we both sometimes knowingly consume shit. And because Miral hates everything.

I guess people look at Simple that way, but he's an aniblogger, so

Nah, who am I kidding, if you constantly subject yourself to good stuff, your standards become too high and no one wants to talk to you about anything because you just tear apart their favourite anime for being shit.

You start off watching things that interest you. Once you have your fill of stupidity and recognize the cliches, you start to look for things that buck trends and stand on their own as good anime. Later, once realizing that those sorts of anime come out too infrequently to sustain that kind of taste, you start figuring out the superficial stuff that just naturally interests you despite the anime itself being complete shit.

I like to think of it as the 5 Stages of Death By Anime:
1. Anime's pretty interesting. Someone introduced you to Naruto and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and you can't really stop.
2. Anime's actually pretty awesome but not everyone is accepting this concrete fact. Code Geass is the best anime to ever grace the planet. You get into a fierce argument with a reviewer about the correct viewing order of the Fate franchise.
3. Anime starts to lose its luster. SHAFT anime start to look the same, BONES always gets crushed under its own potential, KyoAni won't [radio edit]ing stop with the moemoekyun, lolSunrisemecha, and your friends are already at stage 5 at this point so they will no longer talk to you seriously about your shitty positive opinions on the latest popular anime.
4. Cry about how no good anime ever come out these days. Rewatch Neon Genesis Evangelion for the fifteenth time but only for the nude shots because Rei deserves your love. Pass on Ping Pong: The Animation because it doesn't look anime enough to count. Keep watching anime even though you say you hate it.
5. Accept that your taste is shit. Watch only idol/precure anime unironically and insulate yourself with other Stage 5's on Twitter to protect whatever semblances of good taste you have left.

Evangelion is considered 'good'? I could only make it a few episodes in until I couldn't stand how whiny Shinji was being.

I mean, if you were going into the show expecting to like Shinji then that's purely on you.

Not really, a lot of people just have an attachment to it because of nostalgia. A lot of mecha shows that came later took certain key elements of it and improved upon it substantially,

watch idol anime instead.


I bet Adnarel secretly enjoys everything he hates on, from anime to jazz flute, especially moe anime.
