That's some sick censorship. O__O | ||

And again, watching Naruto has no bearing on whether or not he'll like Geass/AoT as much as anything else. You have no idea how many people I've met who for the weirdest of reasons will prefer Naruto but hate on Geass/AoT like it's the end of the world or vice versa. You have just as equal a chance at hitting a good anime as I do. That, I have absolutely no doubt. I don't think the correlation between these shows and liking them is as strong as you say it is. I don't think they're that much less that you have to say we have shit recs for it. Again, I was merely offering a suggestion that I think was reasonable since I only was really asking questions and stipulating. There was no reason to just go out of your way and act like you're the only one who had a reasonable recommendation. I don't think you're allowed to say this when you're telling him to watch Code Geass and Attack on Titan. Just saying. Everything you say just oozes of your lack of understanding of people and their particular tastes. Just bringing up more anecdotes confirms this. Once again, he likes or at least LIKED Naruto (the chances of him being an eca are even slimmer), didn't like FMA, but likes action. I'm not basing my recommendation just on the fact that he likes/liked Naruto. The very fact that you can say that he has as much of a chance to like FLCL as something like Geass/AoT is incredibly facepalm worthy. It's possible he could like FLCL and hate Geass/AoT, but in my opinion this is a percentages game and the percentages go something like: AoT 80%, Geass 70%, Bebop 60%, FLCL 40%. And your jab at the end there further proves that you have no idea what you're talking about and that you aren't treating this guy's preferences as an important factor in recommending him anything. What's the point of recommending people things when you aren't even gonna try to understand what they like? If I told you I liked Backstreet Boys but you recommended me Wiz Khalifa just because he is accepted by a "wider audience," I think I'd stab you and never ask for a recommendation from you ever again. Do we have a need to go any further on this topic 'cause I think not. On June 21 2014 09:15 Sentenal wrote: This entire thing is because you were getting on ZNF about him recommending Cowboy Bebop, when there isn't anything wrong with reccing it at all, since it IS a western anime noob friendly anime. You are having your pissing contest by saynig stuff like "SURELY you can see that these other anime are BETTER than YOUR recommendation". Anyway, I already said my piece about what I'd actually recommend, but I think you are being crazy for having this whole thing with ZNF and his recommendations. There is a good reason for that: 4kids. Ruined One Piece's chances over here. My biggest beef with znf's recommendations is actually FLCL and not Bebop. I think Bebop is a fine recommendation, it just, in this particular case, not the "safer" recommendation since he likes Naruto but not FMA. It has nothing to do with just being a "western anime noob" but moreso that this guy seems to just like mindless action. In the end though I guess it is a pissing contest. | ||

edit: Souma, what does "liking Naruto and not liking FMA" have to do with Code Geass, SnK, Cowboy Bebop, or FLCL? There is a disconnect here I'm not getting. Is it because Geass and SnK are bad, like how Naruto is bad, or something? Code Geass, for example, isn't mindless action. Sure, its mindless, but its mindless keikakus.

Probably more worried about kids associating Zoro's character with Mexican Batman. | ||

You're assuming this guy's preferences based on two shows that are listed, one you aren't even sure if he even likes to a significant degree, and the other only proves that something shounen might not be the best fit (AoT has quite a lot of powerpoint scenes between fights). Everyone knows that "lots of action" is not something Naruto gets attached to with its constant filler, down time, and excessive dialogue between fights I'm not the one that assumes that I can spew out arbitrary percentages based on a two show sample size. I really think you're making too big a deal out of how accurate you are or how much you're putting yourself in the mind of someone else who likes Naruto, which, if anything, is more or less you characterizing him as the average Naruto fan, which I think is just generalizing and not anymore legitimate than me saying that he might want to check out FLCL/Baccano/Cowboy Bebop and see if he likes it. FLCL by the way was the third anime I mentioned after the first two. There was no reason for you to get on my case about recommendations when they were just slight suggestions, and if anything more or less suggestions at Requizen since he knows this guy better than either of us and could figure out if perhaps something with a more Western focused show with lots of action could appeal to him. Edit: Also Requizen said "lots of action." Not "mindless action." Edit #2: Fuck you Requizen. | ||

Naruto is lots of action. Even their fillers have lots of action. Whether it's actually good action or not is another story altogether, but saying that it isn't lots of action is a ridiculous statement. Once again you're just telling him to check out stuff that are accessible. How about you at least TRY to make a guess? That's your problem right there. Once again, Backstreet Boys... Wiz Khalifa. | ||

I didn't tell HIM. I suggested Requizen based on a few parameters. Did you not read my post? I mean...why don't you give him like murican anime then? It sounds like that would help. Maybe Baccano, Cowboy Bebop? FLCL is also a good choice, especially the mindless action part. It's not a "he would like X." It's not "I know what's good for you, thank me later." It's, why don't you try this? Maybe that might spark something. Lay off the "you don't know wtf you're talking about" and "your recs are all shit" attitude. I've been telling you this entire time that all I was doing was making a suggestion and you're essentially saying that I was trying to act like some kind of authority on what he would like. If you really think that, read my post again. All I'm saying is that these anime are perfectly fine as recommendations and are nowhere as close to being bad as you say. There was no reason for you to get on my, or anybody's case, as if your recommendations are the only ones that make sense. | ||

I find recommendations to be bad when you're just throwing out titles and not paying attention to the one who may eventually spend time watching said stuff. In the end he may like your stuff but it's like ??? Put some more thought into your recommendations because it can end up being a huge waste of time for the receiving end. | ||

But in general and going forward, it would be much appreciated if people actually put a lot of thought into their recommendations. Nothing worse than wasting people's time by randomly tossing out titles and expecting them to like it. | ||
