That's a matter of opinion. When I mean notable I mean notable enough for ANN to have on its list of anime.
Also I can't believe if you really think /a/ effected the score that much. Look at the ratings 5 and below, even without /a/, it would be rated high. You think /a/ really contributed anything significant to the 3200 votes of 10/10?
Also if they really thought it was funny to do that, they probably all voted for Masterpiece. So even if all 3200 were /a/ users, it would still be rated highly. A BAD rating is like 5 or lower average. 8 is not bad, 7 is not bad, 6 is not bad. 6 is usually "ok" or "mediocre" or something like that.

Also, look at Code Geass season 1. It has 7000 ratings, and most of us here say that, if you just look at Code Geass season 1, it wasn't bad. I doubt /a/ voted there and made its ratings really high as well, do you?

Now if 3000 of the votes for Code Geass R2 were all from /a/, the show would still average out to be an 8 or 9, which is still a high rating. However that means that only a third of the people who watched and rated Code Geass watched and rated R2, which seems quite unlikely.

So unless if I'm missing some other bit of info or reasoning here, my claim still stands that people who think Code Geass is bad bad are the minority.



Haha that made me laugh xD




Well what do you mean by critical praise here? I'm just using masterpiece in the way that it is, relative to other similar works, one of the best, and/or is one of the best works of that creator. Which I think everyone should be able to agree is Goro Taniguchi's best.

If you want to use that definition in terms of "critical" praise, as in, does this show "deserve" to be praised, rather than whether people like it or not (for example, lots of people like naruto but it sucks), then Code Geass has won numerous awards. So, yes, it is still a masterpiece. Not many anime win several awards, let alone one, especially considering how many meidocre anime there are that people don't even know about cus... well, they're not notable xD




Well I'd have to disagree, and the majority of viewers do as well, according to many anime websites and reviews.
Also, Code Geass is not just a mecha anime. I did not watch it for the mecha. It balances quite a lot of different things, but the thing that made it unique was its high dramatization and style. How many shows are out there that can hit so many different audiences?

I did not note popularity as quality. I never used that, so how about you not put words into my mouth and talking like a (excuse me) smart ass? Now if I were to say, Code Geass has so many ratings compared to other shows, then you could have said that. But that's not what I said.

Naruto and Bleach, as you should know, have bad reviews, and bad ratings. Bad means like, below 6 on average.




Hm, I heard many bad things about GC. When the show was halfway done, I checked its ratings on ANN, it was very very mixed... some were rating masterpiece, but the same number were rating 2/10, 4/10, 6/10, etc. But towards the end, its ratings got decent.

I saw the first two episodes, which were alright. They were enjoyable, but I wasn't hooked. Actually the first episode was wtf and was like a direct copy of CG's first episode, but I could actually understand what was going on in the second episode, though it still seemed like Code Geass but just smashed up and remixed though with better animation quality. I heard it gets bad in the middle, but then the MC mans up and the show gets better again.

Anyway, so if you were like me and turned off our brains and were able to enjoy it, how would you rate GC in comparison to CG? Worth the watch or not?

(Btw actually the main writer Goro Taniguchi wasn't on it, only the other guy ichiro or something.)

I don't post here pretty much at all, and rarely watch anime (mostly just watching one piece when I have a few episodes to go through) but recently I was really sick and ended up watching all the SAO that was out, and I thought it was pretty awesome.

Finished watching the rest yesterday and still really liked it just cause it's an anime about an MMO.

So I wonder, why do people seem to HATE it in here?

Do you really want to know? Last time we got into that, we had fun SAO discussions for like 5 pages.

Our definitions for the word "fun" appear to be slightly different.

Actually, I missed out on most of the hardcore raging about SAO. It's an okay show (as in, you can watch it). There's worse stuff out there.

Hey, I love crusades like that! The SAO discussion was almost as fun as that Evangelion thread.

As far as SAO goes though, as it is right now its a Code Geass R2 experience. You watch to to laugh at how bad it is. At least is possible to do that with SAO, so I guess that is one positive.

I wouldn't call it generic - more so cheesy and fan service type stuff.
