That was one of the weakest routes to me, felt like they just needed to make the whole kyou-ryou routes even more kdrama like and completely lost focus of the VN as a whole.

I feel like I'm some sort of heartless bastard, but I could never really feel any lasting emotional impact from reading stuff like that.

Have you seen the anime? Obviously, since VN and anime can give quite different experiences, I think I would recommend the anime. But i'm more of an animation dude. And KyoAni is so fucking good at animation xD. The emotions in the show are expressed exceptionally, which of course, is good since it's largely drama.
I've heard that the VN is "better", but that's usually the same with all kinds of media that come first, and again I'm not much of a VN player so our preferences may differ, but I think it would be better to watch the anime then play the VN since the VN has more than the anime, rather than playing the more expansive VN then watching a limited anime version of it.
Also the anime's tearjerkers got me ;( first anime where I actually teared up. I'm not sure if the VN is capable of that.
So I guess I'm just saying basically that I prefer things to be more theatrical; i'm less of a reader.

Holy fucking shit, I'm sorry for bringing up the CG discussion. I had no idea people cared so much about it. Jesus.
Oops  don't worry about it... I think I was actually the first to say Code Geass was a masterpiece (or at least in these recent pages). That was a mix of me expressing that it is one of my favorite shows and was a slight exaggeration to show how much I loved it. It wasn't a very good nor productive assertion or argument for me to make since, compared to probably many here, I've watched a lot less anime.
About Hyouka
Holy shit the animation quality is so good as usual. Yeah sure they're not moving much, but it's such fun to just watch. Now it's getting somewhere interesting with that cliff hanger. I wonder how good it can get, it's only 2 episodes in out of 21, and the novel it's based on apparently won numerous awards.
Particularly, I was amazed at the scene in the first episode when the male MC met the female MC. The camera angle being able to rotate so smoothly was amazing. Usually that kind of a scene will turn out awkward or choppy with the low fps of most anime. However, it looks like the background might have been CG? I honestly can't tell. If it's CG, I applaud them for being able to blend it in so well with the 2D parts. If it is 2D, then wooow. Because having to draw all those background details in motion must take a while.
Again in episode 2, all the settings/places look quite realistic. I'm wondering if they actually drew all that or just took photos of places and edited it a bit (like making it blurry) to make it look realistic but too much that it feels unfitting for a fiction story. xD
On April 30 2012 19:30 Sentenal wrote:Look dude, way back here, you said: Show nested quote +Also, I'm sure I'm not the minority here thinking Code Geass is a top tier anime cus if you check its ratings on sites like ANN, it is rated very high. Same with a lot of reviews. This is the beginning. Later, you go on to say Show nested quote +The majority of its viewers thought it was a master piece, or close to it. Just check its ratings on anime sites, it has one of the highest ratings in all 3500+ or so notable anime works out there. and later again, Show nested quote +Well I'd have to disagree, and the majority of viewers do as well, according to many anime websites and reviews. These are clearly an "appeal to the majority", as if that somehow justified your [then] position that Geass is a masterpiece. It is essentially saying, "Well, everyone else believes it, so it must be true". It is a fallacy. Hence my many objections. If you don't believe those statements to be an appeal to the majority, then wtf did you even bring up the "majority" for? In the case of my mention of sales numbers, it was in direct to your statement that "The majority of viewers disagree those shows [gundam, mazinger, etc] are better". That was making the statement, "Code Geass is more popular than those shows" (because if more people like something more than another thing, that necessarily makes it more popular, because that's what popular means). And Geass is not, this is a fact. The flow of discussion is clear, just go back, look at what was quoted, and what was said in response. While popularity is not a measure of quality, does that mean I'm unable to comment entirely on something's popularity vs another's?
CG discussion spoilered so as to stop bothering other people xD
+ Show Spoiler +Well, I said "Majority of Code Geass viewers" means viewers who watched Code Geass.
"though Code Geass was good" means they thought it was good, not bad. Please stop changing what I am saying. Also, to clear up, I was saying that simply to express my surprise that the opinion that Code Geass was good was relatively, in my experiences, uncommon and looked down upon here. Uh, the second paragraph, noooo. How do those things even link together? "Majority of Code Geass viewers" means viewers who watched Code Geass.
"though Code Geass was good" means they thought it was good, not bad. I did not, anywhere, make the comparison that majority of viewers (of code geass or in general?) think Code Geass is better than those. Hence, you are wrong about the popular thing again. Again, I brought up those numbers simply to try to persuade you into my belief that you are in the minority to think that Code Geass was bad in the literal sense. I did not bring up those numbers to say that Code Geass was better. So, I am definitely not trying to go by that line of logical fallacy that you have presented. Ok, now I see. The problem here seems to be that you are using the word popular in the way to mean that it is liked a lot. I'm using popular as to regarding how many people have watched a show. So this hopefully should clear up a lot. Well I wouldn't say you are unable to, but with the old masterpiece/good argument, popularity doesn't mean quality because something like Naruto is very popular (though it is also widely disliked) but is not "critically good" in the sense that a masterpiece should be. And I'm still not understanding why you kept claiming I was saying Code Geass was popular and hence, a masterpiece, when I stated many times that popularity is not quality. So the part about us using the word "popular" in different ways doesn't even justify that. The discussion did not flow clearly to me, and with this clearing up of the word "popular" hopefully we can get out of this ditch of a discussion. It might have felt that way to you, but I would like you to keep that in mind as well. Ok, so let's talk about Code Geass vs other anime, mecha or not. Can you back it up that Code Geass is, by fact, less popular? Not that it has anything to do with "quality" in the kind of "critical acclaim" but only in the sense that it may show a show is liked more or less. Though, I'm not sure if we want to even talk about popularity because Popularity is pointless. I'd be happy to not have use such arguments, since popular opinion is meaningless in discussions on how good something is, but if you want to use it, then so be it. "Majority opinion" or "reviews and ratings on anime sites" don't mean anything at all to me. And yet you say Japanese sales numbers and ratings are the best indicators You think Code Geass is more popular that Mobile Suit Gundam, an anime franchise that has been going strong for over 30 years, is a cultural icon in Japan? Why don't you check out some of the sales numbers for Gundam Unicorn, or Gundam SEED HD Remaster? In 2004, Bandai announced the SEED DVDs had sold 1 million copies of it in Japan. Volume 1 alone sold over 100,000 copies. This means that, for volume 1 at least, 8 years ago, 100,000 people liked Gundam SEED enough to spend money on it (not to mention that shit is expensive in Japan). So in some parts you seem to be saying popularity is pointless, but then you use popularity in terms of how many sales there are, even though Code Geass has sold 900,000 copies, which is quite close to 1 million? Back to my belief that people who think Code Geass are in the minority; comparatively, Code Geass sold ~90% of what Gundam SEED has, which you seem to say is good in your blog (both in the critical sense and just entertainment factor?). You say that the sales mean that people like a show enough and thus spend money on it. Now, this doesn't necessarily mean 100% of buyers thought the show was good in a critical sense, and I believe you were using these numbers to show that Code Geass is not more popular, as you have stated before. However, comparatively, if you go just by sales alone, I could say that Code Geass is 90% as popular as SEED. When you explained why you didn't think Code Geass was, overall, good, you mentioned things along the lines of it being solid in the first season but just a disappointing mess in the second season because, I believe, you were bothered by the deus ex machina plot like the Sword of Akasha and other things that weren't done as well as in the first season. This leads me to think that you are saying CG is bad and disappointing in a critical sense. (I'm not sure if you would say it's good just for entertainment value, but let's leave that aside as it's not relevant to this exact moment). However, if you are saying CG is bad in a critical sense, and that you are using sales stats to compare popularity between shows, do you not then, think that you are in a minority (or at least at odds) regarding if CG was good in the sense of whether it delivered entertainment or not?

Code Geass sold ~90% of what Gundam SEED has
That was what SEED sold in it's first WEEK of release in japan.
SEED is easily the most popular anime that's come out in the last 15 years. It singlehandedly revived the entire anime industry.

I feel like I'm some sort of heartless bastard, but I could never really feel any lasting emotional impact from reading stuff like that.
That's before Clannad, since Clannad and LB isn't like that except for a few individuals routes. Tomoyo after was a bit whack but not quite like that, and RW is a different type of thing entirely with Key taking in new blood. That said, some people just don't give a damn about that, so don't see what's wrong with it.
Actually some people can argue that a certain route in RW is basically Rin1 for 3+ hours, that might qualify.

That's because Jesus Yamato is an amazing character who could have very well been part of any of Chekhov's award winning novels.
+ Show Spoiler +It's actually because of the pretty mechas. I forgot sarcasm doesn't do so well in this thread.

Wow the OP/ED basically tell who is going to die/live and that his Dad is going to come back as A)some kind of enemy B)come back so he can DIE, also LOL so much innuendo with Flit sitting behind Kio ah man too funny. This Season is probably going to be the best.

Well actually wiki says:
In April 2004, Bandai Visual announced that one million copies of the Gundam SEED DVD had been sold in Japan, with the first volume having sold over 100,000 copies.
The series ended in september 2003, so that's ~7 months after. If you look at Code Geass,
By August 2008, over 900,000 Code Geass discs have been sold in Japan.
That's 1 year after season 1 but 1 month before R2 finished airing. Both series are about ~50 episodes so in terms of sales, it seems like Code Geass has the stronger numbers there?
Anyways, me and Sentenal have cleared things up, there were some silly misconceptions which had a snowball effect but now everything's good xD I think everyone should just ignore the majority of our posts since it would take quite a long time to see what went wrong especially if you want to try to dissect our actual opinions from them.

Whoops, read that wrong.
Anyways, to argue the points mentioned previously: CG may have sold more DVDs than Seed, however in terms of merchandise (fucking gundams!!) Seed has probably earned 10 fold what CG made off of DVD sales. Also Seed revived Anime, without Seed would CG even have existed? Could Sunrise have afforded to produce it?

Alright, seriously? This has gone past shitstorm and into something else. Take it to PMs or something, imo.
