Oh look, it's a new list to disagree about.
Go to the charapedia website, realize it's just a random anime site. Realize that polls like "Which character would you like to keep as a pet" last 5 days and have about 500 people voting..
Really is no need to take it "seriously"..
can i cast a vote for Takatsuki Yayoi?
though the first two are pretty good anime so far
you gotta be joking, the second one is decent (i'll give 5.5/10) but the first one... maybe 1.5/10
different people different taste, dumbass. obviously the voters up there got the polar opposite of your preference.
lolllllll
As always.
Trust me, some of those are really Shitty..
Especially Mekaku Shitty Actors, amirite ?
>> one week friends looks like
>> an anime for teenage girl...
That's because it is one. I'd say it's highly unlikely for guys to really enjoy an anime for this demographic... for the plot.
Mekakucity Actors and Nanana’s Buried Treasure seem to be the one ones on that list with any actual plot at all.
Mekakucity is quite good for me, the one i really got a problem with is one week friend
one week friends looks like an anime for teenage girl... which i'll try not to criticize.
> No Game No Life
You're goddamn right, I watch it for the plot.
(And for Stephanie.)
Boobs = plot.
>No Game No Life
and I watch it because of Shiro :3
And for Jibril
And the manliness that is Ino. All your kemonomimi are belong to us!
You forgot the one true value to fight for that is CUTENESS! CUTE MAKES RIGHT!
Brynhildr in the Darkness
Knights of Sidonia
Bokura wa Minna Kawai-sou ranked so low? In all honesty, it's more interesting than GaWoRare at least.
can't believe nanana placed quite low either
The only good thing about Bokura is that it's pretty.
The character are 1 note boring cliches.
Bokura has a lot of meta-fictional awareness.
Bokura is not afraid to hang lampshades on the cliches and smirk with the audience saying, "Yes, we recognize that these are cliches."
So basically nothing Bakemonogatari and NishioIshin hasn't done already to a relatively better level.
it's a slice-of-life. everyone make the drama; not a single character.
you're looking at a list where Love Live and Date A Live were in the top 10. Don't be surprised given that.
Instead of controversial poll results please make an article about the latest Sekoku no dragonar.
There are at least two reverse rape attempts there
No anime this spring are even worth watching... the quality of anime in the last few years took a massive drop.
So...you're a fucking hipster?
seconded
Looks like you took a massive drop and it broke the damn toilet.
ryuugajou nanana and mekakucity actors are really the only ones with any plot this season.
I normally don't see shows that I'm actually watching at 1 & 2 on such lists. Isshuukan Friends/One Week Friends definitely much better than what I thought it would be.
Yeah, but it's plot is no #1 any way you look at it.
Where the hell is Knights of Sidonia!
Number 14
>Date a live
>plot
hahahahhahaha
Wow, Ping Pong didn't even make the list.
Most casual anime viewers get turned off by anything that isn't the cutesy art style they're used to.
Date a Live for the plot? ROFLMAO!!!
5. Mekakucity Actors
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!
Not seeing Wixross anywhere on this list is said.
I just wanna masturbate to little girls that are scantily clad so I don't go off on my niece again.
Only good strict and straight to the point anime this season is JOJO, since it's a reboot. Not too ambitious, yet not lackluster either. Manly fun for everyone. Everything else is lacking in many areas.
But don't light torches and surround my home because of my onions. I mean opinions.
HunterxHunter
I don't get why Soredemo sekai ha utsukushii scored so low on plot... it has a well-thought story and it even rules out a few cliches, like the weak heroine (she's quite strong), the typical love story (except he's a shota king with a wild streak and she's older and taller) and even the concept of "love"- aka the story is not progressing like your typical shojo where they take it so slow they barely kiss at the end of the first season and despite the age gap they still manage to pull it quite realistically. Granted, there were some cliches, especially in the last ep, with the whole cat fight, but I still think it holds pretty well. If only that chorus wasn't in English...
Also, Sidonia... if having a well-thought out SF society and a neutral gender is not enough, maybe the many awkward and cruel twists of fate would count as plot? And to think it's under "Kanojo ga flag.." which is just a bunch of fanservice who showed a bit of promise in the beginning but took the walked path instead..
Downvote this LIST!!
While I completely agree with it, I still find it hard to believe Isshuukan Friends got first place, not a typical favorite of the online voters...
No Hitsugi no Chaika? I been really enjoying that tbh
is this list created by junior high school kid?
my top three:
pingpong
jojo
one week friends
hitsugi no chaika
Soul Eater Not!
JOJO
