We also have an IRC channel called #tladt where we all hang out. The channel is on Rizon, not QuakeNet! Feel free to check it out. TLADT discord is Discord.gg

Was it supposed to be Icarus? I think every case I saw the name mentioned I saw Ikaros.

=_= Well, depending on how the next few episodes turn out, I might end up dropping it if the storyline starts to turn stale.

And my random browsing of 2ch has turned up this list of characteristics of two distinct types of anime otakus:

From 2ch
Type A:
A person who simply enjoys “anime.”
Is proud of Japan’s anime.
Evaluates anime based on direction, voice acting, art, etc.
Hates shallow anime with no real content.
Story emphasis >>>>> Moe anime.
A recent example would Higashi no Eden. Fans of anime like Lain or Ghost in the Shell would probably be this kind.

Type B:
A person who simply enjoys “characters.”
Will watch an anime if it includes cute or beautiful characters.
Doesn’t care if story is awful, as long as the characters are of interest.
Evaluates anime based on which seiyuu are in it and what the characters look like.
Loves moe elements. Doesn’t like complex anime.
The otaku the media picks up on are usually this kind.
Doesn’t know that much about anime and so is often criticised as by Type A otaku.
However, they make much better customers than the more discerning Type A otaku.
Recently there has been a huge increase in anime targeted at Type B otaku.
People who like K-ON!, Queen’s Blade, Strike Witches and so on would be in this class.

I think I can define most of the people in this thread into one category of another (I sense an overwhelming Type B power...)

Oh, and who saw the Qwaser Director's Cut? I don't see how it's not hentai.

What pics I saw of it might as well as make it hentai, yeah. Oh, and that was on Sankaku, I had a laugh. I can't say I am strictly A or B, since I did watch Fate purely because of Saber, put up with Nadesico because of Ruri, etc, even those those are things you'd say are closer to A.

Lol I don't go to Sankaku . I was randomly trolling 4chan, and some guy had posted that there. I found it funny.

Oh yeah, the most recent Armed Librarians made my ears perk. It's like the director got off his ass and decided to make a fairly good anime. Not sure what happened there.

As for the latest episode of Ookami Kakushi... AIC please do a better job...

I don't really watch enough anime to classify myself as an 'otaku' or either of those types. I just pick up a lot of info about different series because I idle in various anime-related IRC communities and read /a/ (a lot less than I used to, though..). I barely even watch one anime a season :/

Type A vs B sounds like competitive vs casual gamers. I'm sure you could replace some words in there with gaming related terms and have it make sense. Also, type A people sound like pretentious and elitist basterds.

I'm probably type A -_-

I recently saw Sora no Otoshimono on Konadora`s stream. It has loads of perverted jokes, the women are stereotypically beautiful with large breasts and both the characters and story are nothing particularly impressive.

However, I can see the appeal of it since it is rather lighthearted, making it great for some light entertainment. Also, it is preety short (13 episodes) so I just might watch the entirety of it.

I'm type A, but I sometimes enjoy anime that appeal to type B if they have good gags. I'm a sucker for some of the simple humor featured in Minami-ke or Lucky Star.

I think that list is mega ridiculous. The categories should be fused into one. Just because you enjoy a super awesome anime doesn't mean you can't enjoy pointless fun loving moe. Anime snobs need to pull their heads outta dere ass.
Social Justice is a fools errand. May all the adherents at its church be thwarted. Of all the religions I have come across, it is by far the most detestable.

Anime elitism is hilariously pathetic. Reminds me of this Onion article.

I also find anime elitism fairly absurd... ah well.

Not a real fan of the proposed "Otaku categories" either. I know people who obsess over characters and moe, but also obsess over stuff like LoGH. I know I don't fit into either of those categories neatly.

That said, for you type b folks, ISML 2010 is starting next month!

can someone recommend me an anime?

I'm looking for mostly an action one with fighting. barehands, guns, swords w/e. I usually like ones where they aren't too over the top with the fighting and are somewhat realistic (and blood is always good :D ). here are some so you get an idea of what I like and what I'm looking for

Kenshin (the OVAs especially)
Berserk (fav anime of all time)
Baki the Grappler (great fights)
Hajime no Ippo
Ninja scroll
TOUGH (i read the manga and it was great, wondering if there is a show like that)
Sword Of The Stranger

Battle Angel Alita ova - 1.5 hrs of really good animation and action. really worth the watch.
Gungrave - gripping story, lots of blood and shooting
Blue gender - Wtf aliens? mechs? blood everywhere and a good story? yeah if u like scifi/action watch this
Hunter x Hunter - The big shounen of its day, but its better than naruto and bleach. My favorite anime ever.
roses are red violets are blue, Im schitzophrenic and so am i
