there should be a sort of "preferences" for anybody visiting the site with as an option "hide top lists"
You know, you can just not click on them. >_>
Pure genius
Didn't know this, thanks
No anime ranking is complete without K-ON at or near the top.
That's just Japanese otaku senility. They literally barely remember anything beyond the last few seasons of anime.
Agreed, senile simpletons.
GODDAMMMIT, and the beginning of the 2000s were not bad really, the 2000s should have been dominated by series like MONSTER or GANKUTSUOU, those 2 represent what the anime of the 2000s should have or could have been like, potentil, all wetn downhill past the 2000s thanks to the FUCKING boom of moe, we can blame it in SHITTY HARUHI and fucking KYOANI!! DOWN WITH THEm!!
RIGHT ON.
GANKUTSUOU
BOKUSATSU
BAKRETSU
@19:51
before that it was giant robots, before that it was harems, and before that.....? well, i guess that was back when everything was "original" lol
The anime industry jumps on bandwagons like any other.
Before K-On, it was all about the VN adaptations. Before that, it was magical/robot girls, and so on.
All I have to say is moe was already a well established concept before Haruhi was animated. If you're placing all the blame on Haruhi for that, you're just plain wrong.
Also, if you can take your head out of your ass for a moment, you'd realize that there is so much more to Haruhi than just moe.
Self-knowledge is a difficult thing to achieve. One frequently wonders to oneself; "Am I an idiot?", "Am I an asshole?". Wonder no longer.
If you don't appreciate Haruhi you are both an asshole and an idiot.

And who the fucking hell is responsible for that "resultant factor in the popularity of the concept of moe"
This is happened magically retard?? Dont post crap that only makes you look like a real idiot.
You're an incorrigible little turd. Moe isn't just in the form of anime you retard. If I need to explain anymore, you're probably just another dumb shit who can't see past the things he wants to hate. Moe isn't something that can suddenly magically become amazingly popular overnight. It is a concept that has been established and built up through the years. If you truly think Kyoani and Haruhi are to blame for this... I just pity you.
Hey you know what? Fuck you anon, don't take out your misbegotten frustrations on Haruhi. If you had even read the source material you would realize how much depth there is in that series.
I enjoyed Monster too by the way. The moe boom was a resultant factor in the popularity of the concept of moe, and not because of Haruhi. Please put those indiscriminate accusations and feelings of hate aside.
Ironic How Kyon is commenting about K-on. After all, I sometimes pronounce K-on as K-yon and that will indefinitely get turned into Kyon.
Given they are almost a KON generation it is hard to see what kind of anime would meet their universal approval. Imagine if Akira was released now, moe blobs and no real men. Also of note, no Macross even though NGE is included.
MLP is probably their benchmark.
NGE has admittedly been raped by the rehash of the story, completely removing the most significant symbolism.
The only symbolism in NGE was "these symbols/names look/sound cool." Anything "deep" in the show was bludgeoned over the head in the last few episodes.
You're preaching to the wrong crowd I'm afraid. I doubt that anyone here knows much about the significance of psychoanalysis in Anno's works; or even care.
What Anon at 02:27 said.
Eva was cool and all, but all that Judeo-Christian mumbo-jumbo was only there because Japanese people have a boner for it the same way that weaboos have a boner for anything Japanese.
Grass is always greener...
02:27 23/10/2012
Some of us wanted to start bludgeoning characters long before the last few episodes.
Pilot of Eva 4? Yui Ikari? Yui Ikari was dead before the show even began.
Eva wasn't even a bad show, a little mind-fucky at the end, but not terrible.
Westerners just like to spooge themselves analyzing the biblical references as if they really mattered to the plot.
Human instrumentality was the problem; a good concept and done well in the series, but was it a lack of funds to decently animate or the creator just the wrong side of sanity...please tell me. For me it went downhill after the pilot of EVA 4 never even got shown again despite a strong impact in the first half of the series. Maybe a modern equvilent 'Lets just drop Yui from the series without explaining why.'
Taking the rebirth ending rather than the TV one, basically third impact happened then a kind of 'what should we do now to string out the last few episodes, also lets kill of all attempts at a sequel.'
God Gunbuster, how could that just have been 6 episodes, I mean millions of enemy killed as well as the light speed time lag.
Ghost in the shell got two seasons, not all new anime is crap. But even MLP season 3 is out soon...for older fanboys rather than little girls...by that criterion alone MLP is otaku worthy.
Except NGE wasn't any good to begin with.
One of the few series I gave up on half way through simply because I hated all the main character except Misato. And I even started disliking her when she hooked up with her ex again.
I was right up there with X the Movie.
Indeed, tybe b otaku are the generation of disgrace.,
Imagine if the REAL ICONS in anime history were released today: TOuch, Harlock, Macross, Ahita no Joe, LEGEND OF GALACTIC HEROES, Gunbuster, Cats Eye, Ace wo nerae, GE999, LUPIN!!! etcetc etc etc
They wiuld be crushed by shitty type b otaky and their fucking lolis and moe!
Heck these kind of anime would not be created/released because in this shitty time they woukd not sale nor generate ratings.
I try never to trust anyone who adds "real xx" in their sentence.
Hey man. You forgot Voltron and Thundercats.
the 80's called, they want their cartoons back.
Haruhi is in all these lists, too, Kyon. Including this.
K-ON! is the "My Little Pony" of Anime.
MLP is for kids first, and manchildren second. K-On is purely for manchildren.
Friendship is Magic is a fantastic series.
Lucky Star is the "My Little Pony" of Anime.
Made for childs, approved by trolls
i would like to see a child grasp the references and themes alluded to in lucky star, i would probably pay to see it.
I Approve Lucky Star
This is a good list of anime to watch, except K-On of course.
Shitty Haruhi should be number 1, whats was so great abiut this crap really, who know, I dropped this shit very early back then, I could not stand it.
What so great about many, nothign really, it does not take much to satisfy the simpleton minds of type b otaku.
Moe + lolis + fanservice = greatest masterpiece ever!
THEY ARE A FUCKING DISGRACE.
What a retard, spewing hateful diatribe all over the place. If you couldn't understand the series for what it was well... Your post was a good indicator of your lack of higher mental capacity.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJ JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA

20:59 23/10/2012
Who was asking you to explain haruhi? Idiot
12:03
Your incoherent rant reminded me of how babby is formed.
Typical retard. Moving along.
and G-On Riders. True old school classics.
Anon@12:03 23/10/2012
You forgot to mention Nanoha.
and G Gundam.
Heh... Whatever. If the 3 different sects who actually have their own agendas in their dealings with Haruhi, as well as the resultant conflicts that arise between different parties later in the second year of their highschool lives don't make you think about how or why things happen as they do and how well they actually echo some real life situations... Ah who am I kidding, you'll never understand this stuff.
Also, don't you fucking dare compare Haruhi to K-ON!. It's freaking sacrilegious.
Your feeble attempt to mock me is in itself, laughable. If you can even begin to compare Haruhi with K-ON, you have concretely established your status as a complete moron.
I won't even bother trying to explain anything that happens in Haruhi to you... It'd just go over your head.
Agreed, those otaku make us be ashamed. Just see how much damage they had done to anime!
Haruhi had plot and action scenes.
