 The movie is ok'ish .. love the evolution of their Gundams, and it offers a little more insight into Aeolia Schenberg. But it's not a must see //addit SEED Destiny is pretty much a "clone" of SEED. So if you like one, you'll like the other and vice versa | ||

Seed Destiny is not a good series, but it is a rather entertaining series, especially if you like seeing Jesus Yamato blowing shit up (but conveniently not killing anyone).

It just stops at like a halfway mark with a really stupid ending that leads into the second season. Sent groups the second season with Destiny in his gundam guide. Kind of makes me doubt watching it. If the ending of the first season doesn't mean anything without the second season, I guess it's either watch both season or none at all. Is it worth it to watch both, then? I guess I'll check out Victory too.

Not terribly interested in 0080 due to it following a civilian, but I'll consider the other two. As for Destiny, from Sent's blog I got the impression that it ruins SEED characters and ending, I'm not terribly interested in having characters ruined. Now that I think of it I should probably watch Gundam X too, it's just that it got cancelled which made me doubt watching it a little bit (because of rushed ending as a result). | ||

0080 has more suffering than most Gundam despite following a civilian (and it's not really following a civilian, it's just from the PoV of a civilian) for you Swedes though 00 has some cool mechas, that's about it. | ||

It's true 00 S2 is pretty bad, but unlike SEED, just watching S1 would be kinda weird due to lack of any real closure. If you just want fun gundam action, go for it. Anyway, I plan to start streaming SEED HD once I get back from my weekend trip so maybe Sunday night or Monday. | ||

At least there's that other kyoani animation being made, I can't remember the name at the moment though. Anyone know what I'm talking about? The LN. Well, fujoshi spend a lot of money too when things appeal to them. Also, you're mixing terms a little bit - typically, fujoshi want BL (yaoi) so if there's no female love interests in the series that's perfect pandering to them. Utapuri is more like otome game stuff, which is the equivalent of trashy harem shows with 9 girls + 1 (often portrayed as unlucky despite having girls trip all over him all the time) male protagonist except for girls. Or, yes, comparable to Twilight. Which is wish fulfillment for girls, just like harem anime are wish fulfillment for boys. You shouldn't be upset either way though, it's not like you have to watch it. On April 27 2013 04:55 Nagisama wrote: Why do the characters have girl names... it's like Haruka, Rei, Nagisa, and Rin.

....How many shows DO NOT have those already? Unless of course the only shows you watch are exclusively girls....in which a lot of it could lead to yuri material as opposed to yaoi? Most the time it's just people with an overactive imagination. I mean you can find doujins of anything now. The problem with fujoshi shows is that the main attraction to watching the anime is just the men and fanservice. It'd be like if every straight anime was like Vividred. They're just really bad shows and sell based off people fantasizing about the characters. As far as yuri goes, there's not too many shows where the only reason to watch is because they're all gay. Like Hidamari Sketch has a main cast of 6 girls who are most likely gay, but that isn't why it sells. Even shows like Yuru Yuri are mostly about the comedy. But the fujoshi shows sell literally because they fantasize about the men, and it just makes the show terrible most the time since the producers know it's going to sell off this alone. Like Utaprince does have a few jokes scattered about, but the rest is just really bad and I couldn't get into it at all. Edit: Broke the quotes And I wouldn't say all harem is just "wish fulfillment" for boys. Stuff like Photo Kano is, but that isn't selling so we're alright there. Haganai sold because of comedy mostly, Oreimo (would you call this a harem? I mean, it is right?) is comedy again. The stuff that sells for this sort of harem usually has something else driving it, whereas fujoshi literally only like the boys. | ||

You don't really have to be too deep into otaku territory to be able to enjoy this. I'd say Lucky Star is otaku pandering, mostly because it is a show that relies on people knowing the references and things more than anything else. | ||

I guess I just associate otaku pandering with fan service in general, so Haganai definitely would be otaku pandering in my eyes. The terms just feels like "fanservice in anime" to me as opposed to some arbitrary definition. | ||

The terms just feels like "fanservice in anime" to me as opposed to some arbitrary definition. Mmm maybe. If we were to use that as a definition then it'd be right. I think most people (read: males) would be able to watch Haganai though without feeling like a weeaboo. Heck, I've suggested it to friends before who haven't really seen much anime and they enjoyed it. Trying to think of other ways to define it really. Like most people who like Nanoha and other mahou shoujo tend to be pretty high up on my otaku rankings, even if the show itself isn't heavily based on otaku likes (except for young girls casting magic). I can't really think of anything better so I'm just going to end it with fujoshi are killing anime and I seriously hope KyoAni don't have too much manservice | ||

If you want more shows like Fate/Zero or Madoka or Fullmetal Panic, buy them. (Probably import them because the studios take more notice of that, though it's understandably more expensive. At least the F/Z blurays come with English subs.) I'll leave it here too though because it's probably not going to be a fulfilling discussion. | ||
