Hey guys (girls), just wanted to remind you that Sigyn is a woman in needs? luls | ||

does this include the anime only episodes? lol i'll never get over the retardedness of Shoyo amakusa arc. "We'll see how my Amakakeru Ryū no Hirameki fares versus your Amakakeru Ryū no Hirameki" "No, MY Amakakeru Ryū no Hirameki is better than your Amakakeru Ryū no Hirameki" "OMG they're gonna fight! Kenshin's Amakakeru Ryū no Hirameki versus Amakusa's Amakakeru Ryū no Hirameki" fucking everyone keeps saying Amakakeru Ryū no Hirameki....not to mention the plot itself was stupid. | ||

Might help a little. She is way more houki-like than the other houkiclone from SYD despite being a loli. Not even Kayano Ai can make me continue watching that show =/ | ||

Sometimes the evaluations people give these anime in question confuses me. Like since this topic started with Death Note, lets go with that. People will say that Death Note is really good (other than the second half). But doesn't that mean that Death Note is 50% shit, then? Its like people really liked one part (because the first half was good), but then they just pretend like the second half doesn't actually exist when evaluating the anime. | ||

Take Berserk. The Golden Age stuff was pretty well done, and is classic/iconic enough that it's been adapted multiple times. But the stuff after that is rather lackluster in comparison. It loses a lot of the elements that made Berserk memorable in the first place. So is Berserk iconic or not? | ||

What people probably mean when they say that nothing comes close to death note is that there is no anime known to them with parts as brilliant as death note. The larger the difference in quality of parts of the anime, the larger the difference between the 2 sentences.Yep. Like for example, the first FMA anime.

Its like people really liked one part (because the first half was good), but then they just pretend like the second half doesn't actually exist when evaluating the anime. Computing an average doesnt cut it when quality varies, you lose too much information. Compare it with paintings, i'd rather look at 1 van Gogh and 1 of my own, then 2 mediocre paintings, because the van Gogh is way more interesting than any of the mediocre paintings. So yeah, disregarding parts is silly, but i can understand highlighting the good parts, cause they're the potentially interesting ones. In the case of Death Note, i'd recommend watching it, but note that the second half is worse than the first. | ||

It loses a lot of the elements that made Berserk memorable in the first place. So is Berserk iconic or not? Whether or not something is iconic or not is a completely different question/discussion. Not sure how its relevant here. And I'm not sure if you are intentionally misrepresenting what I said or not. I didn't say "Because one part is shit, the whole thing is shit". I never even implied in the least that the quality of a series has to be uniform throughout, so I'm not sure why you are even going in that direction. I'm saying is half of the work is shit, then when evaluating how good the overall series is, then its 50% shit. Its like if someone was evaluating how good Bleach is, and then judge it based only on everything up to the Soul Society arc. If they do that, they are kind of ignoring large portions of the anime/manga, and not judging it as a whole. Its perfectly okay to say "this part was good", but "this part is good" doesn't mean the entire thing is. | ||

This goes beyond manga too. I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but the iconic Ghost in the Shell movie was an adaptation of a manga series that is quite different from what the movie turned out to be. Not to mention there are a lot of adaptations in anime that people don't know is an adaptation. | ||
