Tari Tari:
good animation / art good music shallow slice of life short stupid story goes almost nowhere
how can anyone have strong feelings either way? even if you do not agree with me or another, it was neither horrible nor a masterpiece, are you bored and like SoL? watch it! you have something else to do or not watched Full Metal Panic! (insert other great shows here) yet? do that instead =)
btw: dont do this, samurai flamenco!
aaand log horizon is currently my favorite show, its SAO in... well good! (i actually liked SAO, but so much wasted potential due to timeskipping and overemphasis on kirito (jesus) plus harem)
|
Maybe I've been watching anime for too long but good art and good music hardly amounts to anything by themselves at this point. I can just go get the artbook or the OST afterwards.
Log Horizon and SAO aren't really similar at all in terms of what they cover. But I guess it is also the easiest comparison to make.
|
You say that but I remember more than once people here justifying or saying they watch X or Y because it's the best looking show of X season etc, so for a lot of people graphics alone seem to be enough to watch a show. Tari Tari does look very nice graphics wise but if the story isn't very good then I wouldn't say it's good, I want to give it a shot though so let's see what happens. I wouldn't watch a show based on just good music alone either, but except for maybe Titan, good music is usually coupled with a decent show like Beck, Nodame or Sakamichi.
I really liked SAO as well, I thought it was a good romcom type of show but besides that it was kind of bad. I specially disliked how the "game" in the show was nothing really like an MMO, Log Horizon sticks a lot more to how MMO's are in comparison to SAO which makes it trivial by making Kirito the hero that can solo entire raids <.< when at the beginning they needed a whole group for 1 boss.

I think music is a pretty important part of any show (otherwise, you could just read manga or LNs). I'm usually willing to sacrifice a better narrative for much better music; particularly, if I know there's source material with better execution of story/portrayal of characters, then I'm primarily looking for good aesthetics and music. If you just want to rate a show alone, I agree that music can't carry by itself although I still value it above near-worthless.

If you just want to rate a show alone, I agree that music can't carry by itself although I still value it above near-worthless. To me, if the story can't pull its weight, then the music is wasted on the story and I might as well as just listen to the OST. There are definitely cases where a really good soundtrack made something mediocre more bearable and possible to power through. But my tolerance of those just dropped lower and lower over time.
In the end, I can always read the source while listening to OST~

That argument tends to be more a comparison of watching nothing vs watching something that looks pretty. Rather than picking two shows and selecting only the pretty one.
SAO's point was that it wasn't a game, unless you count a death game as a 'game'. None of potentials and interesting parts of the Aincrad portions involved that aspect. Obviously as the series got dragged on it started pandering more and more toward the audience and tried to introduce more game-like stuff. But for the most part being a game has nothing to do with the series. Log Horizon is very different in that respect.

Music is great and I definitely give a lot of preference to shows where I enjoy the music but it's definitely not as big an influence as it used to be.

You should find an anime with gorgeous animation/amazing art, one with a sensuous soundtrack, and a source with an encapsulating story. Then you read the source while playing the soundtrack and glance up now and then to watch the animation and you can pretend they come together to form one product. huehuehue.
Alternatively make up your own story while watching a show on mute.

Log horizon, imo, surpasses SAO. Both takes place in a similar universe (MMO and for some reasons, players are unable to log off). The way Log Horizon is presented, it feels like a real game. Whereas SAO was more about an OP player beating people; the game elements were close to none.
I feel like most of the time, good songs/ost will be in a good anime. I don't recall the last bad anime with good music I've watched, or vice versa, the good anime with bad music...

I listen to instruments when playing games (mainly piano covers or duo by youtube users)

He likes to imagine League of Legends like a classical music concert, with him as the conductor.
That's why he always tries to call the shots. He wants to orchestrate everything!

No shit Log Horizon surpasses SAO.
SAO sucked big motherfucking donkey balls. First 2 eps were good, after that it just stopped being interesting and took itself WAY too seriously.
Edit: Im so happy Log Horizon is 2-cour. This might be aoty if this keeps up.

I watched one EP and thought the art sucked.

Art and music #1 priority clearly. \o/

Music can either be a really good complement to the story or a distraction if its bad. I couldn't help but constantly think that the music just wasn't right all through Claymore and is pretty much the only major complaint besides that crime they call an ending.
