If you come in here looking for "anime recommendations" then please refer to this chart before posting: Anime Recommendations (as of may 2014). 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

For currently airing anime, please see Anichart.net

Less actual quality like what? If you start listing fanservice anime I'm going to lose it.



Light Novels like Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria or Daiyuuden, or Visual Novels like Baldr Sky, Muramusa, Sharin no Kuni, Inganock or Narcissu.

Uh..."quality anime." You just gave a list of obscure titles that I assume you like. And the only difference between all of those and SAO is that SAO is popular. I don't follow.



Those aren't obscure titles, except maybe Utsohako. SAO is not an anime original series it's a light novel series. Like 80% of anime released is a light novel or visual novel adaptation.

Well I assume you're speaking in terms of quality of the anime adaption but also quality of the source materials. VNs are 99% obscure and only known by otakus, don't kid yourself no one else in Japan follows them outside of the few that make it mainstream like Clannad or steins;gate. And if it's doujin,it is also by definition obscure. SAO sells 100k+ per volume, the ones you've listed don't really rank. And they're still all fantasy stories with the exception of being even more tropish/bland than Sword Art Online. Popularity is what gets you adaptions, I still can't see your point.



Implying that I don't know that basically every anime airing airs between 12 AM and 2 AM and that only otakus watch it. Gee willikers because they definitely don't make anime that market to that particular demographic. Gee let's not make things like VNs into anime so that our target audience will watch it. hurr durr.

Implying Muramusa isn't uplifted by virtually everyone who's played it as the greatest VN ever made (lol more bland that sao)

Implying they're all fantasy, which is just plain wrong unless you count sci-fi as fantasy.

Implying things that sell well mean they're actually good. Gee I better go read Shades of Grey I'm sure it's a masterpiece. When's the anime adaptation?

Implying you know what you're talking about.


You know they make adaptions that are going to be popular. Sure YOU may like anime x, but if the crowd y don't like it, studio z will not make it due to not enough profit involved. So for the 20th time saying this, it's not about whats good to YOU . It's about whats good to the crowd in JAPAN and what they think. Everyone's got their own opinion on anime and insulting them isn't very mature. Some people like SAO, some don't. Don't force your shit onto other people because you think you know better. Clearly you don't.





I'm asking for stuff like Muramusa instead of crap like GAO and you think I don't know better?

What.

Also

"And if it's doujin,it is also by definition obscure." Tell that to touhou.

And yeah Biscuit Hammer would be cool.


I'm saying the REASON why SAO was picked up before Muramusa is purely because it would sell; and they were right. I'm not going to have a go at you for having your opinion, I've never read Muramusa nor heard of it, so if you say it's good I may read it or something - but the point stands.

How is it obscure if it's doujin? Wtf lol. Doujin is HUGE in the anime fanbase in Japan. I don't get what you mean sorry.

Even though thats the reason SAO was picked up before Muramasa, at the end of the day Gundam SEED Destiny is more popular.

Even the 'fujoshi's' over at Akiba who've watched the anime still believe it's a good anime.

And Gundam SEED got not only an anime, but a remake. MASTERPIECE \o/

Also the doujin thing is that doujin-originated stuff has like a 0.00000000001% chance of getting an anime I'd say, with SAO being part of that small percentage. I don't get how liking it makes it any less likely for any other stuff to get picked up. Yes money is zero sum but really? And I don't really think it'd be worth deconstructing(lol) why I think SAO is different and more deserving all things considered >_>
When SC2 came for BW, I cried. Now LoL/Dota2 comes for SC2, and I laugh. \o/

yumekui merry also got an anime and the creator was previously known for creating a touhou advent children parody, so your point is moot

I don't know many people who actually buy stuff online for animes. There might be a few - but it's not a major factor in most anime studios decision when picking up adaptions; since most people will buy it from companies that license the anime afterwards.

I do agree I want less shit anime (mainly harem/moe/ecchi) since I hate that shit, but that's one of the reasons I like SAO atm, since it's not one of those three genres.

Those aren't obscure titles, except maybe Utsohako. SAO is not an anime original series it's a light novel series. Like 80% of anime released is a light novel or visual novel adaptation.

Well I assume you're speaking in terms of quality of the anime adaption but also quality of the source materials. VNs are 99% obscure and only known by otakus, don't kid yourself no one else in Japan follows them outside of the few that make it mainstream like Clannad or steins;gate. And if it's doujin,it is also by definition obscure. SAO sells 100k+ per volume, the ones you've listed don't really rank. And they're still all fantasy stories with the exception of being even more tropish/bland than Sword Art Online. Popularity is what gets you adaptions, I still can't see your point.



Implying that I don't know that basically every anime airing airs between 12 AM and 2 AM and that only otakus watch it. Gee willikers because they definitely don't make anime that market to that particular demographic. Gee let's not make things like VNs into anime so that our target audience will watch it. hurr durr.

Implying Muramusa isn't uplifted by virtually everyone who's played it as the greatest VN ever made (lol more bland that sao)

Implying they're all fantasy, which is just plain wrong unless you count sci-fi as fantasy.

Implying things that sell well mean they're actually good. Gee I better go read Shades of Grey I'm sure it's a masterpiece. When's the anime adaptation?

Implying you know what you're talking about.


You know they make adaptions that are going to be popular. Sure YOU may like anime x, but if the crowd y don't like it, studio z will not make it due to not enough profit involved. So for the 20th time saying this, it's not about whats good to YOU . It's about whats good to the crowd in JAPAN and what they think. Everyone's got their own opinion on anime and insulting them isn't very mature. Some people like SAO, some don't. Don't force your shit onto other people because you think you know better. Clearly you don't.





I'm asking for stuff like Muramusa instead of crap like GAO and you think I don't know better?

What.

Also

"And if it's doujin,it is also by definition obscure." Tell that to touhou.

And yeah Biscuit Hammer would be cool.


I'm saying the REASON why SAO was picked up before Muramusa is purely because it would sell; and they were right. I'm not going to have a go at you for having your opinion, I've never read Muramusa nor heard of it, so if you say it's good I may read it or something - but the point stands.

How is it obscure if it's doujin? Wtf lol. Doujin is HUGE in the anime fanbase in Japan. I don't get what you mean sorry.

Even though thats the reason SAO was picked up before Muramasa, at the end of the day Gundam SEED Destiny is more popular.

Even the 'fujoshi's' over at Akiba who've watched the anime still believe it's a good anime.

And Gundam SEED got not only an anime, but a remake. MASTERPIECE \o/

Also the doujin thing is that doujin-originated stuff has like a 0.00000000001% chance of getting an anime I'd say, with SAO being part of that small percentage. I don't get how liking it makes it any less likely for any other stuff to get picked up. Yes money is zero sum but really? And I don't really think it'd be worth deconstructing(lol) why I think SAO is different and more deserving all things considered >_>


I'm not saying I want doujinworks to get an anime, I'm just saying I want stuff that's not shit. You liking it means maybe you spend money on it, you spending money on it means you're giving money to a shit publication, you giving money to a shit publication means more shit publications.


I don't know many people who actually buy stuff online for animes. There might be a few - but it's not a major factor in most anime studios decision when picking up adaptions; since most people will buy it from companies that license the anime afterwards.

I do agree I want less shit anime (mainly harem/moe/ecchi) since I hate that shit, but that's one of the reasons I like SAO atm, since it's not one of those three genres.


My mind is blown. I cannot believe you're being serious. I don't even know how to respond to that. Like, holy shit my brain hurts.

SAO could be ecchi... look at the doujins for it.

If anything, I think most people like SAO because there's a cute thing going on in game. Cute things(you could call this love) + swords + action = people attracted.

Because it's not blatant harem where it has 5-6 females with huge tits all hanging off his arm's wanting to fuck him the second they can.

Are you watching the same show as everyone else? I suppose there's no huge tits, but other than that I think you're being blind.

I don't know many people who actually buy stuff online for animes. There might be a few - but it's not a major factor in most anime studios decision when picking up adaptions; since most people will buy it from companies that license the anime afterwards.

I do agree I want less shit anime (mainly harem/moe/ecchi) since I hate that shit, but that's one of the reasons I like SAO atm, since it's not one of those three genres.

Please explain to me how SAO is not harem.


Because it's not blatant harem where it has 5-6 females with huge tits all hanging off his arm's wanting to fuck him the second they can.

Well I assume you're speaking in terms of quality of the anime adaption but also quality of the source materials. VNs are 99% obscure and only known by otakus, don't kid yourself no one else in Japan follows them outside of the few that make it mainstream like Clannad or steins;gate. And if it's doujin,it is also by definition obscure. SAO sells 100k+ per volume, the ones you've listed don't really rank. And they're still all fantasy stories with the exception of being even more tropish/bland than Sword Art Online. Popularity is what gets you adaptions, I still can't see your point.



Implying that I don't know that basically every anime airing airs between 12 AM and 2 AM and that only otakus watch it. Gee willikers because they definitely don't make anime that market to that particular demographic. Gee let's not make things like VNs into anime so that our target audience will watch it. hurr durr.

Implying Muramusa isn't uplifted by virtually everyone who's played it as the greatest VN ever made (lol more bland that sao)

Implying they're all fantasy, which is just plain wrong unless you count sci-fi as fantasy.

Implying things that sell well mean they're actually good. Gee I better go read Shades of Grey I'm sure it's a masterpiece. When's the anime adaptation?

Implying you know what you're talking about.


You know they make adaptions that are going to be popular. Sure YOU may like anime x, but if the crowd y don't like it, studio z will not make it due to not enough profit involved. So for the 20th time saying this, it's not about whats good to YOU . It's about whats good to the crowd in JAPAN and what they think. Everyone's got their own opinion on anime and insulting them isn't very mature. Some people like SAO, some don't. Don't force your shit onto other people because you think you know better. Clearly you don't.





I'm asking for stuff like Muramusa instead of crap like GAO and you think I don't know better?

What.

Also

"And if it's doujin,it is also by definition obscure." Tell that to touhou.

And yeah Biscuit Hammer would be cool.


I'm saying the REASON why SAO was picked up before Muramusa is purely because it would sell; and they were right. I'm not going to have a go at you for having your opinion, I've never read Muramusa nor heard of it, so if you say it's good I may read it or something - but the point stands.

How is it obscure if it's doujin? Wtf lol. Doujin is HUGE in the anime fanbase in Japan. I don't get what you mean sorry.

Even though thats the reason SAO was picked up before Muramasa, at the end of the day Gundam SEED Destiny is more popular.

Even the 'fujoshi's' over at Akiba who've watched the anime still believe it's a good anime.

And Gundam SEED got not only an anime, but a remake. MASTERPIECE \o/

Also the doujin thing is that doujin-originated stuff has like a 0.00000000001% chance of getting an anime I'd say, with SAO being part of that small percentage. I don't get how liking it makes it any less likely for any other stuff to get picked up. Yes money is zero sum but really? And I don't really think it'd be worth deconstructing(lol) why I think SAO is different and more deserving all things considered >_>

Are you watching the same show as everyone else? I suppose there's no huge tits, but other than that I think you're being blind.

It's ok, you're bound to be wrong some time or another. Glad you admitted it. ^_^

But on a serious note, would you call any LN/Anime harem if it had one random shot of two girls with 'big tits' hanging off the MC's arm? Or is it just THIS LN/Anime. I'm not quite sure how you define harem. If you define harem with one scene with two females hanging off his arm, then going by your sense of definition - that classifies 80% of anime as harem.

Re: the doijin thing
Well yes, some people do go from self publishing to being big but really that's along the lines of an unscouted, undrafted pro-athlete, how many really make it big?

Re: SAO
I'm still working my way through the novels but so far they've avoided tropes pretty well which I like. So far they've avoided the indecisive and infuriating weak lead and the oh-so-random cases of perverted encounters for the most part. That itself already puts it in the 1% for me.

Re: 16.5
I don't get why people keep bringing that up, it should be considered as the creator making doujinshi of his own stuff, several authors do that...

Edit: A great many of LN authors were webnovel authors first. Narcissu's rights were bought out by a company, and Touhou makes a shitton of money even if Zun sees not a cent.

It's not though. It was in the original webnovel. I don't see how it avoids tropes at all, the series is PURE FANSERVICE. 100%. It has no meat to anything. Romances do not go from meeting each other to marriage in two days, and you certainly do not glop gallons of semen.

Because it's not blatant harem where it has 5-6 females with huge tits all hanging off his arm's wanting to fuck him the second they can.

Who are Asuna, Lizbet, Silica, Suguha, and Sinon, and how do they not all want his cock?

I'm not saying I want doujinworks to get an anime, I'm just saying I want stuff that's not shit. You liking it means maybe you spend money on it, you spending money on it means you're giving money to a shit publication, you giving money to a shit publication means more shit publications.


I don't know many people who actually buy stuff online for animes. There might be a few - but it's not a major factor in most anime studios decision when picking up adaptions; since most people will buy it from companies that license the anime afterwards.

I do agree I want less shit anime (mainly harem/moe/ecchi) since I hate that shit, but that's one of the reasons I like SAO atm, since it's not one of those three genres.

Please explain to me how SAO is not harem.


Because it's not blatant harem where it has 5-6 females with huge tits all hanging off his arm's wanting to fuck him the second they can.

I'm sorry did you say something?

okay sorry that's only 2 females with huge tits hanging off his arms. You're right, my bad.

Oh yeah, those two as well, so 7.

I'm asking for stuff like Muramusa instead of crap like GAO and you think I don't know better?

What.

Also

"And if it's doujin,it is also by definition obscure." Tell that to touhou.

And yeah Biscuit Hammer would be cool.


I'm saying the REASON why SAO was picked up before Muramusa is purely because it would sell; and they were right. I'm not going to have a go at you for having your opinion, I've never read Muramusa nor heard of it, so if you say it's good I may read it or something - but the point stands.

How is it obscure if it's doujin? Wtf lol. Doujin is HUGE in the anime fanbase in Japan. I don't get what you mean sorry.

Even though thats the reason SAO was picked up before Muramasa, at the end of the day Gundam SEED Destiny is more popular.

Even the 'fujoshi's' over at Akiba who've watched the anime still believe it's a good anime.

And Gundam SEED got not only an anime, but a remake. MASTERPIECE \o/

Also the doujin thing is that doujin-originated stuff has like a 0.00000000001% chance of getting an anime I'd say, with SAO being part of that small percentage. I don't get how liking it makes it any less likely for any other stuff to get picked up. Yes money is zero sum but really? And I don't really think it'd be worth deconstructing(lol) why I think SAO is different and more deserving all things considered >_>

It's ok, you're bound to be wrong some time or another. Glad you admitted it. ^_^

But on a serious note, would you call any LN/Anime harem if it had one random shot of two girls with 'big tits' hanging off the MC's arm? Or is it just THIS LN/Anime. I'm not quite sure how you define harem. If you define harem with one scene with two females hanging off his arm, then going by your sense of definition - that classifies 80% of anime as harem.

When girls fall in love with MC left and right, I would call it harem. Pretty much every female Kirito encounters gains some level of romantic feelings for him, even + Show Spoiler [SAO LN] +

How is that not harem? Of course, to be fair, it's not like SAO's only genre is harem, but don't know how you can say it isn't.
