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.ggFor currently airing anime, please see Anichart.net |

right, I don't have a problem with that.
I made a generic recommendation based on a generic request. My only quibble is with posts like these:

It gets annoying when people always don't pay attention to the mod note at the top of the page. Didn't they used to ban people in SC2 forums for not reading mod notes?
I don't think anyone cares how long you've been on the thread when the first impression someone gets is that bad.

How is that douchey? He's just saying there's a mod note at the top of the page. And just because he thinks two anime that you happen to like are bad doesn't mean that it's a douchebag thing to say. I happened to like Code Geass (though I haven't watched R2), and I don't think someone's an asshole because they bag on an anime I like.
Edit: And if their first impression is bad, then honestly I could care less. It's not like we have a dearth of shit posters in this thread to begin with.

Are you guys referring to the "Winter 2012/2013 Anime Chart Updated below. Spring Chart is in spoilers above it."
Because if you are thats just the lineup for the season. How am I to know which of those are worth watching? I'm better off watching something recommended from thats a "must watch" and at least a few years old before watching anything from there imo. But thanks for the help :o

At the very top of the thread on every page is a white box. That's called the mod note because mods can put thread messages there.

Calling something bad is not really constructive; if he had a reason for it, I wouldn't really be so miffed. I'm not personally insulted, just annoyed.
The part that's really funny though is that the mod note has eva in the mecha genre with geass. So, he calls the recommendation bad, but tells the OP to read the post that essentially recommends eva.
e: you can probably see the problem for someone who is, by his own admission, "not a huge anime buff"

I mean....I'm not annoyed by your recommendation, and the two both fall under the mecha category. But I mean the way they deal with mechs is pretty different, not to mention a lot of things, just from plot/themes/characters are all pretty....different as far as I know.
Maybe I'm just dumb though. I usually always am. >.>

Because while you are just irresponsibility firing a shot in the dark with no regard of what he might actually be looking for (which is a pretty douchy thing to do, IMO), there are plenty of anime on the recommendation chart that are similar for what he is actually looking for, and it is not possible that someone would be unable to find an anime they would enjoy by referring to it.

I agree and I never said anything about the content of either anime.
I recommended it based on what little he said about his own tastes (and the fact that he's not a huge anime buff) and my own experience.
It's not much more than that. There was nothing in his post nor mine to suggest otherwise.
Although you could make some interesting parallels between the two animes. I won't get into that here but it's a nice exercise.

It matters because the guy was asking for recommendations, not "I liked these two anime that have very little in common with each other". and he had no stated criteria for said recommendations, just as you have no criteria for calling them bad recommendations.

Code Geass and Evangelion are pretty different from one another aside from the use of mecha. I just disagree that they're compatible recommendations and I used a hyperbole to prove my point. again, so? He didn't outline any sort of criteria. I provided an opinion. You didn't provide one, so I don't see your point here. It was a generic recommendation for a generic question. Nothing more than that. He didn't even say he liked Code Geass, and it seemed pretty clear that he was asking for anime that were similar to Death Note/FMA:B considering out of the small list he had he said he really liked those. I don't know why you're so defensive when I asked why you would recommend it. Because I already told you. If you're so bothered by my recommendation, go ahead and tell him I'm wrong and recommend something he'd like instead. e: I mean clearly it's more productive to argue with MY opinion rather than ask the guy who wanted an opinion in the first place. We don't bother with people who come in here and ask for generic recommendations and offer a generic list of what they've watched, because that just fosters a bunch of shit posts by people who just recommend the same anime that are on the chart at the top of the page. Your attitude may not be intentionally hostile, but it certainly does come off as such. I've been on this thread for like....3 years? It gets annoying when people always don't pay attention to the mod note at the top of the page. Didn't they used to ban people in SC2 forums for not reading mod notes? I don't think anyone cares how long you've been on the thread when the first impression someone gets is that bad. So you are mad that I called two anime you like bad? What are you, 12?

Could you please tell me why liking Geass means you should try Evangelion....besides the fact that there are mechs in both anime? o_O cause I liked both? Although I watched eva first.

Because while you are just irresponsibility firing a shot in the dark with no regard of what he might actually be looking for (which is a pretty douchy thing to do, IMO), there are plenty of anime on the recommendation chart that are similar for what he is actually looking for, and it is not possible that someone would be unable to find an anime they would enjoy by referring to it.
lol.
I think you're proving my point further with your responses. I'm not gonna bother feeding you any more though, have fun with your superiority complex.

Seems kind of hard to make interesting parallels. Just how they're structured it feels like Eva's trying to get at something deep and philosophical while Code Geass is just a load of fun, explosions, etc.
|
Well this thread went wild while I was busy
Because if you are thats just the lineup for the season. How am I to know which of those are worth watching?
By just picking one? It's what I do anyway. Give anything 2/3 episodes and if I'm not really getting it I drop it. I've probably missed out on some decent anime by just dropping stuff like this but if something is taking too long to get going then a lot of people are going to have to say it's good before I pick it back up.
In fact I know plenty of people who dropped Lucky Star in the first 10 minutes

yeah, eva has a lot more to do with human emotion and experience like depression, and it's thematically IMO much stronger; Geass is more plot driven. However there definitely ARE parallels (in particular, the patriarchy themes, the ideas about individuality and uniformity in eva with part of the R2 arch, among some others)

How is that douchey? He's just saying there's a mod note at the top of the page. And just because he thinks two anime that you happen to like are bad doesn't mean that it's a douchebag thing to say. I happened to like Code Geass (though I haven't watched R2), and I don't think someone's an asshole because they bag on an anime I like.
Edit: And if their first impression is bad, then honestly I could care less. It's not like we have a dearth of shit posters in this thread to begin with. Calling something bad is not really constructive; if he had a reason for it, I wouldn't really be so miffed. I'm not personally insulted, just annoyed. The part that's really funny though is that the mod note has eva in the mecha genre with geass. So, he calls the recommendation bad, but tells the OP to read the post that essentially recommends eva. I mean....I'm not annoyed by your recommendation, and the two both fall under the mecha category. But I mean the way they deal with mechs is pretty different, not to mention a lot of things, just from plot/themes/characters are all pretty....different as far as I know. Maybe I'm just dumb though. I usually always am. >.> I agree and I never said anything about the content of either anime. I recommended it based on what little he said about his own tastes (and the fact that he's not a huge anime buff) and my own experience. It's not much more than that. There was nothing in his post nor mine to suggest otherwise. Although you could make some interesting parallels between the two animes. I won't get into that here but it's a nice exercise.

Yes, sure, I'm proving your point. And yeah, I'll have fun with my "superiority complex". Anyway, in the future, when someone asks for recommendations, don't say "Well, I liked X, and I also liked Y!!! I'm now going to recommend Y without giving it even the slightest bit of thought!!!", because that is silly, and in turn makes you look silly. I'm just looking out for you.

Golden. I'd say it's rather deserved this time around though.
Anyway:
Shingeki no Kyojin ep2:
+ Show Spoiler +A pretty good episode, Mikasa's punch + telling Eren to live (and eat, instead of tossing away precious food!) was a highlight of the episode. Armin is moe though. Also, seeing that titan animated was pretty sweet, it was simple enough but I'll certainly look forward to some specific encounters from the manga.
Post time skip Mikasa doesn't look right, it's the lips :/ Hopefully I'll get used to the new look quickly enough, but it feels odd, she just looks... so much older, more than in the manga.

You guys realize you spent like 2.5 pages arguing over how to recommend someone something? ^_^
I honestly would not recommend Evangelion to anyone unless they like one of these:
Serious family drama, mechs, well-done complicated plots.
The mech aspect of the anime is part of it, but it isn't really the focus like Gundam is. Code Geass has a bigger mech theme than Eva does, but they both obviously have mechs. They are pretty far apart aside from the mechs. That doesn't mean you cannot recommend someone one of them, but it isn't the best fit. I would recommend Code Geass to someone who liked Death Note despite one having no mechs. Sadly, he has seen both ^_^.
Anyway, the guy hasn't even posted since, so....

Everyone should post their myanimelist if they have one ! ^_^
