"I dont like political stuff"
"I like gundam"
Gundam is literally politics sprinkled with giant robots.
Series like Gundam is political without hammering it too much to our heads. It is simply part of the story and address much about war and society, still you enjoy what it delivers.
He did say later he diden't like that part about Gundam..
I mean compared to western TV it's not as politically pc
And SPACE OPERA
Eh I'd say that 90% of all media is like that. Books, TV-shows, movies etc. Everything has a bunch of tropes and is based on established formulas. Solution: Judge based on execution and writing rather on buzzwords.
Yeah, we could say that about any form of media. But they are talking about anime and his points are valid.
You can love anime and still acknowledge that a lot of anime isn’t doing anything new or special. Doesn’t mean you got to stop watching anime if you admit that.
@@cosodesign8953 I didn't deny it. I literally just said that the same mindset is seen with all media, and not just anime. No need to treat it like an attack on his character and me saying that his point is invalid.
Except anime isn’t as old as other mediums and the standard for quality writing is far lower.
@@willlowry2288 Astroboy aired 1963, it's pretty old. I avoid such generalizations, it doesn't help anyone and just comes off as shallow.
Genuinely, a well constructed comment :D. I'll add to it; try to find an anime aggregator for recommendations. One of favorites is Scamboli Reviews.
7:34 "I just wish formula 1 was all about pit-stops, like what's with all the racing" actually underrated joke
Do you watch twitch?
Garnt sorta mentioned something I noticed for a while now. People say that anime got worse with time and good anime is much more rare. But that depends on how you look at it. Back in the "good old times", there were seasons with like 5 anime series airing during it, two of which were great. Now we might have a season with over 40 series airing and 5 of them are great. The absolute amount of good anime increased, but its percentage dropped. There's also the fact that around half of the "good old" anime would probably seem like garbage if you rewatch it now without any nostalgia filter.
For example, autumn 1992. Tenchi Muyo Ryo-Ohki and Yu Yu Hakusho started. Nuku Nuku was also kinda okay. And a bunch of series that no one remembers or cares about. Only two great series in a season. That is not exactly great. Winter 1993 right after it, just 5 OVA episodes of Ah My Goddess. Which would probably not even be fun today. Summer 1992, the only decent one was Bastard. And even that greatly loses to modern Maou Gakuin and, as seen with the remake, did not age well at all.
Imo one thing that can also make people biased with "good old anime" is how they binge watching anime when they started to hooked up with anime. At the beginning people usually gonna binge watch a bunch of those amazing/legendary shows such as FMAB, Clannad, Death Note, ect within short amount of time. Then after they began to simply catch up with seasonal anime they will find that there fewer nowadays (seasonal) anime that is good (pique their interest). In the past they can find and watch several title of good anime within a month or even week, but now they can only find one or two within 3 months.
An easy way to put it is the new generation anime fans hype up everything that is made by Mappa or Ufotable which turn up eventually "mid"
Yeah, how "good" or "bad" a piece of art/media is definitely gonna depend on perspective. A lot of what was considered good or popular at the time might be debatable at how well they age or not, something that'll probably be seen when audiences look back at what's considered "good" or popular now. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Exactly, I watched Evangelion for the first time not too long ago and it would probably be in my bottom 10% of anime I've watched.
There were still plenty of garbage anime back in the day but they just never made it out of Japan. Not even fan subbed. Only the great ones we know today are the ones they distrbuted out of Japan because they would actually make money.
>I don't like politics
>I like Gundam, Code Geass and FMAB
I don't like politics in my video games
Starts listing fallout new Vegas and BioShock.
@@merciless972 I remember Dan Ryckert from Giant Bomb saying he didn't like politics in videogames either. Meanwhile Metal Gear Solid is his favorite franchise of all time 😂
Well finding the director is different cause anime is ADAPTED by the director, while the writing is by someone else. So people will maybe read fire punch because they read chainsaw man, but that doesn’t mean they will watch another anime directed by the same person who directs chainsaw man, because that story doesn’t interest you. Director can only control how it looks and sounds, but not how it’s written.
peep the screenplay writer then
Hiroshi Seko
is doin chainsaw man
they also did smol animes like
Summer Time Rendering
Ajin: Demi-Human
Seraph of the End
Jujutsu Kaisen
Dorohedoro
Attack On Titan
Mob Psycho 100
Vinland Saga
sometimes it does work tho where the director also does the screenplay.
People seem to forget there’s a lot of anime originals, like his example of Anno and many others directors like imaishi
they said the exact same thing, but gigguk's point was that even so the ones at the top have a style that is unique and identifiable
Ironically I think more people get offended if you say an anime is mid rather than saying it’s trash 😂
"Most anime is garbage"
This is what I call "casual elitism". A lot of anime can be trash. But some casuals think only the most popular and mainstream anime are worth watching.
Like they'll say FMA, Deathnote, AoT, Cowboy Bebop, DBZ, Ghibli ect. are the peak of the medium and the only ones worth watching
I want to call myself when we get this but most anime is garbage to Mid
I mean, it's true that most anime is garbage, but in the same way it's true that most TV, most movies, most books, most games are garbage. Nobody says "movies are garbage" just because there's two dozen awful Netflix movies for every good one. In any creative medium, maybe 10% of it is actually good, but that doesn't mean you can't have some fun in that other 90%.
@@joekaf Very true. There are some trash shows that have their entertainment value.
There’s Masterpieces, there’s Good Shows, there’s Fun Shows (which at times gets mistaken for trash), and then there’s the True Trash Shows that are just straight up bad.
@@deavinwarren1412 It's a fair opinion if you've sat down and watched hundreds of anime but my gripe is when someone's only seen a bunch and they feel comfortable trashing an entire medium.
"Most" could be 90% but considering there's 1000's anime, there's still plenty to watch
@@joekaf the bar for writing in anime is far lower than books, movies or television.
Nah, he is an anime fan.
You can tell by how much he calls Anime trash.
I do like a lot of the shows he likes but for completly different reasons. Pretty interesting to see honestly. and on the 90% of anime is trash take, idk what his opinions on tv shows are but i would argue the landscape there isnt much different. When mediums get that big a lot of trash is produced. Finding the ones that you enjoy and cherish is part of the fun even if it can get annoying to have to go dumpster diving to find it sometimes.
It's actually a law called sturgeons law, 90 percent of everything is crap
I feel like people like bad anime more than bad "normal" shows though, that's probably one of the bigger reasons anime is typically viewed from the outside as something not worth delving into, which is certainly how I felt.
@@azquidif6319 in general the anime community can be a lot more loud then the western tv show audience in my experience. So i can see what you are talking about playing a part
Sturgeon's law
Ninety percent of everything is crap.
So yeah, that includes anime, TV shows, youtube channels, comments, etc.
@@azquidif6319 I kinda disagree with that. There are a huge number of extremely loud fans of genuinely terrible western shows.
It's just that most people think that Anime is a _genre._ They're thinking: "I don't like superheroes, so anime is not for me"
While with western stuff, even if everyone and their mother watches Game of Thrones, people still know that that is not the _only_ kind of series there is.
The thing is, generic shonen fans aren't any louder than Marvel ones. It's just that movies in general are popular enough where you're always exposed to a wider breadth of genres -not just MCU movies. Anime is simply too niche for that. The only ones that are famous enough are stuff like MHA, JJK, AoT, DS, OP, etc.
when i see the words insert names honest opinion it sounds like they actually loathe anime or whatever follows
Actually Attack on Titan is also about giant robots controlled by humans, it's just that the robots are made of flesh and blood.
This just makes no sense. The majority of everything is either mediocre or bad. You could say that about any medium. Dude just wanted to sound smart so he could hate
Exactly. I hate this pretentious, pseudo-intellectual, bad-faith nonsense people run with these days. Not everything will be an A or S tier anime, or novel, game, movie, etc. It takes talent and passion to produce these things and such qualities are not extremely common. Anyone in the right place under the right circumstances can make an animation or a game. That’s why we get dozens upon dozens of D and C tier media. It is not an anime exclusive thing and I can’t believe people still run with that in 2022.
Fr lmao
Do they not realize sci-fi is essentially anything that features fictional technology? So their favorite recent movie, Everything Everywhere All at Once is sci-fi.
A great scifi manga I would recommend is 7 Seeds (the anime adaptation was rubbish, avoid), it's a great post-apocalyptic scifi drama with a great premise & engaging cast of characters.
Scifi was really really big first because of the space race (all the classics scifi books were written in that period) and a second wave came from japan because in the 80s it was The country of technical innovation and stuff (also star wars).
Scifi is a really difficult genre to pull off, very expensive on tv/cinema, beaten both on the serious and less serious side in literature by other genres (standard novel and fantasy), and in general is less relevant in the mind of the general population.
If you're interested in good modern sci-fi The Expanse is a book series that's been adapted into a show. The main focus of the show is what would humanity look like if we started to colonize the rest of our solar system. What type of societies would form? How would they interact? What problems would they face? Its a really interesting show.
I fucking love The Expanse, 10/10
How does FMAB keep coming up convinced it’s a bullet point for guests at this point so that the other two could bully garnt about not watching it 😭😭
Off topic question, but what's a lesser known manga series that deserved an anime adaptation?
My choice is Phantom Burai (1978)
A story about a pilot and RIO in the JASDF, and their shenanigans.
It is quite literally Japan's Top Gun
the boys could probably make a whole special on discussing one piece. We just need Connor to catch up
Vivy flourite eyes song was a really good sci-fi
I'm an fan of the OG anime that was shown on TV. And there were some pretty good ones, too
damn that's the fourth time I heard of dune this week despite never hearing about it before. maybe I should watch it.
Would how detailed/intricate mecha is to draw be a factor in why people nowadays don't like to present their story using? Fantasy stuff is probably easier to churn out in larger quantities
I suspect not b/c if you make a 3D model of a Mecha, you only need to 'draw' it once. The rest of the time you are just posing it in the shot.
A lot of the recent fantasy stuff is from light novels, so I think companies just see them as a safe bet b/c they have an existing fanbase
9:16 they probably don’t do it because most Anime follow the source strictly. It would be like if you watched Harry Potter and then watched their directors’ other movies. It wouldn’t be the same.
that guy looks like william osman
The absolute blasphemy that was the mecha section. Good god my braincells
As for good sci-fi anime, Planetes, and despite the clichés, Kanata no Astra. And that's for space anime only. We also have plenty of cyberpunk and mecha, as well as stuff like Steins;Gate
"I don't really watch anime"
*PROCEEDS TO MENTION REALLY DEEP CUT ANIME*
12:02 The Counsel deemed him WORTHY!
There are some good anime that I miss and some I come back to later.
Memories mention reminded me of The Wings of Honnêamise. Another old and great, if slow, anime.
Ya’ll should watch TENET,INTERSTELLAR,INCEPTION or any other of Nolan’s work if you’re looking for a good sci-if movie
8:01 garnt straight spitting facts lmao
2:14 I don’t understand this opnion. Most of anime is not garbage there are thousands of good shows. Right there is a lot of bad ones but a lot of good anime come out all the time
People have different tastes in anime something is good for you for somebody else is bad
@T S You could argue "most" anime is not good. But there's still hundreds of good anime. Plenty on Deathnote's level or above
@T S your just wrong
@@Ash_Wen-li there's plenty of anime there's plenty of good cartoons there's plenty of good comics of playing a good manga there's plenty of good books there's plenty of good movies there's plenty of good of every medium
Severance is a good sci fi show that came out recently.
wasn't there a Gundam where it's more like a sport. If I'm not mistaken it's the one with the move shinning finger.
MEMORIES is so sick!!
memories sounds intriguing.... might watch it
sometimes certain art styles (some a product of their time) just put me off no matter how good it might be.
Hoping that won't be the case here
I think he would like Black Lagoon
as a giant robot fan I approve
Expanse is a good recent sci-fi show.
If anyone wants a really nice Sci-Fi to watch, I'd highly recommend watching The Expanse. For me, it is by far the best and most compelling Sci-Fi in recent years
Gonna go watch Memories I guess.
only anime episode we had was probably with proZD
LUDWIG:- Really bois
Doesn't really have to do with this video but the best anime for me that has come out in the past 3 years is dragon quest 2020 and once it is done I will definitely look up other anime from the creator of it. The crazy thing is that it seems so underrated to me like no one is talking about it. Sure maybe its because its a remake or people think it is based on the games but I have yet to see a better anime come out. I also haven't really played the games or watched the original so maybe that's it I don't know.
the manga 'Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai' was a mega hit in Japan and asian countries, it was top 9 upto 2009 (although last manga published in 1996), sold more than Yuyuhakusho, Jojo, HxH, Bleach etc with over 50 M copies. I think 3 reasons the anime was not that discussed is
1. the original fans are kind of old now, usually in 30s and 40s
2. the anime adaption does not look good, esp the color looks terrible even compared to the first anime adaption version.
3. There was not enough hype advertising, esp to the western audience who are not familiar.
nontheless, the story is still briliant (many old fans remember it) esp it's basically the 'Adventure of Popp, the most well developed side character who suited better for the main character', so it will be a real treasure treat for anyone who discovers it.
Has none on this anime podcast seen Legends of the Galactic heros????
It is top tier sci-fi, all you need is a bit of patience so it can build itself up
The political intrigue in Legends of the Galactic Heros is second to none in anime...
Garnt and Joey watched, I think
I remember Connor talking about how he voiced in the dub and they all heard it was good but didn’t watch cause of length
For Sci-fi, I recommend Foundation and Expanse
Man if 90% of anime is bad then tv shows and movies at this point are like 99% between Amazon ruining LOTR and Disney/Warner ruining everything they touch there is very little good shows.
Atleast with anime i can in most cases find 1 show that i enjoy.
I respectfully disagree. These past 10 years there have been absolutely amazing TV shows especially originals.
Its been a new golden age for TV shows for a while now.
@@lightup6751 Lol in what universe. Because all i see is crap produced by people that cant write to save their lives.
@@MajieB
thats because you see what you wanna see lol it is your choice to focus only on the negative. plenty of good shows around.
@@lightup6751 you could have putted some exaples to ilustrate your case instead patronazing him
@@BioMatic2 I could but I think its ridiculous to make a prosperous claim that 99% of all shows are bad.
Stranger Things, Dark, Black Mirror, Peaky Blinders, Better Call Saul, Squid Game, Umbrella Academy, Cobra Kai, Arcane, Money Heist, Sherlock, Narcos, The Boys, House of Cards.
And those are just off the top of my head.
Not to mention Disney has been killing it with new Clone Wars, Bad Batch, The Mandalorian, heck even Kenobi and Book of Boba Fett werent half bad.
The reason I didnt make examples is because anyone who says that everything is shit is because thats how they want to see things. Some focus on the things they enjoy, some focus on the things they hate. The reality is that most people enjoy most media if its music, movies or video games.
It's so ridiculous to dismiss an entire medium. There's no medium that doesn't have a plethora of bad content. It's illogical to give less value to a show just because it happens to be animated by a Japanese studio.
Say that to anime/manga fans that dismisses Comics / cartoons
@@deavinwarren1412 i haven't personally seen anyone do that but yeah that's equally bad. I've seen more overlap in the comic and anime community than rivalry.
@@deavinwarren1412 even comic book fans are rooting for manga lol
@@makmak3081 yiu haven't seen the toltal people saying cartoons and comics are crap and there hasn't been any good cartoons or comics in years which is just wrong
@@sofiantz2142 ok comic fan like both so what
Is it just me... Or does William osman look like the combination of all 3 of them?
Iron Blooded Orphans is peak Gundam!!!!
Glad after all these episodes and 2 years of trash taste we can definitely say we've seen the worst anime takes from a guest since the start of this podcast.
I thought William and Connor looked very similar
I too enjoy giant mechs fighting
Isn't AOT also a mecha anime 😂
This guy has no clue what he's talking about. It's okay to not like certain shows but I think that he isn't doing a good job explaining why because he says he dropped Aot because it's too political, but he likes FMAB.
Eren is kinda annoying at the early season. The whole I hate titans and becomes one of the named titans is kinda cliche.
I still maintain that Joey needs to watch Arcane.
I just convinced a friend to watch it blind. He texted me today that it was a masterpiece.
Arcane is just GOATed.
Its been 0 days
The dude hates Isekai anime. They are overdone shitty clones of each other.
The Expanse was a Sci-fi master piece!
Cyberpunk edgerunners really rejuvinated the sci-fi genre in anime... i really want to hear the opinion of the boys on this show...ig this episode was done b4 edgerunners was released
from the way they tweet after they watched it, i think all three of them like it tho
This isn't really unique to anime, it's just Sturgeon's Law, "90 % of everything is crap". Hell, I'd argue it's less of an issue with anime than a lot of other media given how easy it often is to separate trashy and derivative anime from higher quality stuff when looking for something to watch. If the title is overly long-winded and dumb sounding, the art and animation is flat and generic and the synopsis sounds like the description of a sub-genre rather than a story, there's a 99,9 % chance you can skip it without missing out on anything. If you're still afraid that "I was reincarnated as a level 999 mage in another world with my mother's ex-boyfriend's step-sister's second cousin removed and a high-end gaming laptop" might end up being a subversive masterpiece and a touchstone of our generation, you could also just look up some reviews.
I collect gundam kit but only watched g gundam and wing and the first two season of build fighter.
Nothing wrong with that! As long as you like the designs thats a valid reason to collect gunpla
“I hate political stuff”
“I like full metal alchemist and Gundam”
I'm sorry but he doesn't make much sense.
I doubt that he is a true classic Sci Fi fan, 'cos classic Sci Fi like Dune (mentioned here) etc are basically heavily focused in politics rather than technology or action.
He hates politics (which anime with good world building has) nor intelligent mind games (like Death Note), but also just wants to turn his brain off for action and don't watch it to remember it, yet defines anime being cheap as lacking world building and story to remember? Aren't those kind of words and logic contradictory??
Hates politics in anime but likes Gundam and FMAB which are one of the most political animes, of all animes?
Can't even remember modern Scifi Mecha (the limited genre he likes) classics like Code Geass nor Gurren Lagan properly.
Hates even the most well recieved mainstrean modern animes for even western casuals (AOT, Death note), which showcase he is not a good representative for evaluation of overall animes (doubt he would appreciate the modern classics like Vinland Saga, Violet Evergarden, Made in Abyss etc) with his very limited taste (even for his limited taste of SciFi and Mecha, since he may not like 86 or 'Legend of the Galactic Heroes' for being political, 'Trapped in a Dating Sim' or 'Lycoris Recoil' for being cheap sexualization.)
I like his experiment, science project videos, and also liked the remaining part of his trash taste episode (since I'm also engineer major) but the things he talks about anime is mostly just noncoherent for me. (sorry if I sound aggressive)
It's weird that he said the older Gundams are kinda slow when the 0079 Film trilogy is a bit too fast paced
the expanse.
some of nadia is on youtube
just sounds to me like he wants to be controversial tbh
Sad things is I only watch the anime clips
Urusei Yatsura great show to watch and 1984 Urusei Yatsura movie 2 beautiful dreamer OMG IT'S SO GOOD TO WATCH OMG ❤❤
if Formula 1 was all just Pitstops, id be concerned for Ferrari
I clicked bcuz there was light on the thumbnail. Where is it? WHERE IS DEATH NOTE?
Dude has literally no idea what he's on about. Nothing says I'm a clown more than dismissing entire mediums for not other reason than "I don't watch or know anything about it but I know it's bad". Throw in the contradictions of like half of the things he brought up and I'm pretty sure this guy doesn't even understand his own points. Classic I know nothing about it but I've got tons of opinions.
Ok? How does that effect u? Lol
@@sofiantz2142 it doesn't but it doesn't make it any less annoying something as stupid as "an entire medium/subject I know nothing about is really bad and largely trash" is a opinion that people should treat as stupidly as it sounds rather than acting like he's got a point or worse yet supporting it.
People confidently explaining this level of a braindead take and it not being laughed off for being so braindead is just plain annoying regardless of what the subject is.
@@sofiantz2142 You know that these are commonts right. Where people talk about the video
why do you think he knows nothing about it. he has seen quite a lot of stuff it seems like
Don’t care. Get back to digging. You’re only getting older and every minute you’re not digging you hole is another minute wasted.
This William Osman guy seems like an 60iq dude
U sound like an "intellectual" 😆
Deatherection,also known as genital rigor mortis 🤣
VIVY eye song??? Sci-fi ??
There are tonnes of great scifi books and the reason the industry doesn’t deal with bringing new stuff to the markets is because they have already purchased an IP that has been proven to work. So thy just keep making it, just look at MCU and StarWars, it’s literslly the same 3-5 basic narratives that are being remixed and published. Same with isekai, noone is doing anything fresh, or subverts the tropes in an interesting way anymor, and why should they when the audience eats this up with a spoon.
I’d also say that anime has fallen in story complexity since Japan started to seriously to foreign audiences, that is the reason why you do not see a new challenging the audience stuff like Memories, GITS, Angels Egg, Jin Roh, Akira, Haibane Renmei, Yokohama Kaidashi Kiyo, Welkome to the HNK, Paprika, Paranoia Agent, or even Gasaraki.
This will come to an end though, when the gen Z has grown up more and want to tell their stories.
As an older millenial I think our generation of creators dropped the ball on this, and got to focused on just surviving, which I totally get. Im the same.
he sounds like i hate everything, who never actually saw more than 4 anime.
You'd be surprised at how many people say this that haven't actually watched much of any anime and just generalizes all of it, which is incredibly stupid
Kagerou project.
Preach
4:20 I'm sorry that was so funny that I felt bad for him 💀💀💀
This just made him saying anime is garbage at the beginning just to act cool and different lmao
I love how he hates AOT but likes the anime which has “political stuff” lol
Garnt, Gundam isn't that confusing. You got two types of show. You got the UC timeline that is literally just critiquing modern politics, war, and society with giant robots and fucked up bullshit you see in war. Then you have the alternate timelines where the writers can explore characters, interesting plots, and goofy ass ideas. The series is not that hard to get into.
Garnt, the Fate fan, talking about Gundam being hard to get into. As a fellow Nasuverse enjoyer, I find that hilarious.
Lmao of course will is an evangelion fan
Nah this mans just a sci fi fan coping on the fact that sci fi anime (Almost) doesn't exist anymore.
And to be fair I kinda feel him. apart from cyberpunk edgerunners and maybe lycoris recoil the last good cyberpunk anime was too long away, and there is not enough of it.
Gundam Death Erection

Ohh wow
"Most anime is garbage" What a weird takeaway...
Y'all know Hallmark has like 40 new unremarkable Christmas movies a year? And Netflix easily breaks 100. But no one's out here saying "Most live action film is garbage"
Most media is garbage. I don't think most people love *media* they like a book series, or a specific movie, or a game franchise. If you enjoy "anime" you are probably enjoying it in a way that is atypical of most people. Likely more tolerant of some of the tropes or value things exclusive to the medium. I honestly think the anime fandom is weird because so many people are like this (how many people watch movies vs being really into movies?), but it's probably because it was niche for such a long time that most viewers were people who went out of their way to watch it.
Now that anime is becoming more mainstream, I hear the opposite "I love anime." But they're not into the medium, they just found a few shows they like and are just as unlikely to leave their comfort zone as they were before.
People absolutely say that movies nowadays are trash
albert carbon is great
The best anime series are the ones that take 2+ years to make
disney star wars is not what I would call good sci-fi. If you want something good watch the expanse.
literally who is he lol

Science Fantasy stomps both individually
Death note is a great starter anime

The true origin of one punch man
I'm usually excited when they finally talk about anime in the podcast, but man was this painful to listen to.
It's totally fine if you're not into anime or you watch them very casually. But a guy who hasn't seen much, doesn't even remember what they anime he's watched are called, doesn't even finish half of what he's started, doesn't like when anime try to be intelligent or include political aspects and only wants mindless BAAM BOOM with giant robots, has no business calling 90% of anime trash.
While it is true that about 90% of not just anime but any medium in general is trash, you only get to say that after you've watched hundreds of titles, including all the worthwhile ones. Then you can complain about how most of it is trash and there's nothing left for you to watch. Out of the TT boys, I would accept this comment only from Joey. Mr. "I've watched 8 anime but I don't remember which" calling an entire medium he hasn't explored trash comes off as either stupidity or arrogance like "I'm too good to watch this anime thing since 90% of is trash anyway. Not that I've watched any".
He is completely welcome to say he doesn't like 90% of anime and say it is trash because he is a fellow human being with his own subjective opinion just as you are welcome to your own. Also you don't know how many he has watched maybe he has watched a hundred separate anime and he just doesn't remember most because he doesn't come at the shows for story he seems to (from his words at least) just want something that allows him to relax and relieve anxiety by watching monkey brain cool shit, and it seems that by watching said shit if there is a story there it will find him whether or not he wants to. And if that story triggers the part of his brain that recognizes political stuff (and only political stuff other intellectual concepts haven't been stated to turn him away) especially the kind from our world he stops watching. You don't get to gatekeep the idea of having negative opinions on anime because no one does. Everyone is different and seeks different things from the media they consume and liking "monkey activation" cool robots, pretty animation and older sci-fi genre styles is not a bad thing. And liking power fantasy harem stuff, the modern trendy stuff like isekai, or more politically charged things isn't bad either. No show is truly bad for everyone even the worst shit will have a fan and the highest acclaimed piece will have detractors.
Tldr: just because someone might not watch anime or watches it for different reasons than you does not mean their opinion is bad or good because its an opinion and its subjective.
So don't worry about it.
P.s. If you feel like someone is wrong about anime or any other umbrella topic try to find what they like in other media and give them a recommendation that you enjoyed that is along those lines. If they enjoy it now you have something to talk about, if they didn't try again with a now better understanding of what they enjoy.
He aint wrong though. Since you also agree that 90% of anime is trash.
@@triggerfairy4070 his sample size is super insufficient (even his limited samples aren't right, since he hates politics yet likes Gundam, FMAB), so he is not qualified for such conclusion. Also, the value of an anime is subjective, one's anime evaluation does not equal to another, so one's 90% trash maybe not trash to another (just like he hated AOT or Deathnote while majority likes it)
@@triggerfairy4070 That's not the issue. The thing is that "90% of anime is trash" statement is something you come to realize on your own after watching anime for years and after completing hundreds of titles. A complete newbie wouldn't know that. And since he doesn't have such an experience, he's basically parroting what others say.
Also let's not forget that what is good and what is trash is a bit subjective and changes from person to person depending on their standards, criteria and preferences. And this guy's bar in particular is quite low since as long as something has giant robots and mindless action he's satisfied. Well, guess what. There are thousands of shows like that since anime is THE medium about giant robots and mindless action in general. According to his own standards then, the worthwhile anime are way more than just 10%. Long story short, he's talking out of his ass. That's what annoys me and not the statement in itself.
@@triggerfairy4070 that's basically every piece of Media
uh....rick n morty pretty sci-fi no?
He hates politics yet loves FMAB, a series that has entire subplot that reflects nazism and the US Afghanistan war LMAO
I've never watched the whole of Brotherhood, but I have watched and adore FMA og. 😍 haha. 😆
FMA original is my jam honestly. I respect Brotherhood for the full proper story, but FMA original just hits different with its melancholic vibes and open ending.
@@Yondelburg did you watch the film as well 😍 I just love the character development and the characters in general and the story is full of heart, i watched Brotherhood after and I just couldn't, I got about half way in and it was just so cold in comparison. I had to drop it 😑 haters don't be hating on me hahaha.🤣😂 each to their own and all that jazz. 🤣
Folks who directly jump into FMAB and think they watched the better version will never know how much they missed.
Personally i would advise to watch FMA first then FMAB.
