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.gg

I don't get the appeal of the new girl. She looks like a short haired, loli version of Aila (both of which are downgrades, but w/e), but unlike Aila, all she has done is smile and say "Your gunpla is suffering" repeatedly. Unworthy of the Aila crown IMOIMO. However, meanwhile with reigning bestgirl, we get:

I think I just have a silver hair bias so I can forgive personality failings. Tbh it's probably gonna be a harem at this point so I'm not sure if shipping even has a point. Reaction faces were too good though.

I just finished Usagi Drop. Whoever was talking about that recently thank you. That was amazing. Such a beautiful story.

Don't read the manga for it if you want to keep it a beautiful story.

Almost done with the Avatar Cartoon. I was wondering, is there anything similar in the anime world?


How is Avatar not an anime?

Anime means animation from japan, that's all there is to if something is or isn't anime, which is why avatar:TLA isn't anime.
Just like manga=/=manwha.


I would like to see the official source that states that anime means animation from japan and not animation in general. I personally believe people on the internet just blow that word up. Just because it's the japanese way to describe animation doesn't mean all animations outside of japan aren't animes. It's just another word for the same thing.


Translation: "I demand you give proof my opinion is wrong because otherwise I'm right!"


That's half-way correct. It's more like "I demand you give proof my opinion is wrong otherwise I'm going to continue believing in it". But only because it's the internet. People here make stuff up all the time. I mean, look at Sentinals post (after reading over it again, it sounds like I'm saying sentinal makes stuff up - that is not not the case). Apparently in japan cartoons are called anime and the whole "cartoons aren't animes" is made up by foreigners. I don't know if that is correct but judging by the way foreigners act about this topic I can totally imagine this to be the case.
Additionally I had the personal experience that the foreign anime community likes to shape their own meaning for certain terms. For example, I had a long assed discussion with people on MAL about the term filler not too long ago. Apparently, in anime it is the term for animated content that isn't canon because it wasn't in the source that is adapted. I still don't have an answer to the question what stalling elements and episodes that don't progress neither the story nor any characters are called then.

You are trying to define terms that's already defined. It's fine if you want do that, just don't expect to have any constructive conversation.

It doesn't matter who coined the term, as long as that's how it's used that's what it means. There is no real reason why an apple is called an apple, that doesn't mean you should go around calling it an orange.

Isn't this an adaption of the FMA's author version of Arslan Senki and not the original novel version? I wonder how different the story will be.

You got me wrong there. In my example, filler is obviously defined as something else when talking about non-anime shows, books etc. Only the anime com seems to have another definition of it and I only found out about that recently, so I had the discussion I was talking about. It makes sense for me to use a term the way it is used in a certain community to avoid missunderstandings. But I still need terms to describe the meaning of what the term means in other genres.
For the term anime: It's just that a lot of people feel very elite about the term when the topic is mentioned while it's not even certain that it isn't just made up. For me, that is a debate on principles, no more no less. As I said, I wouldn't go into this anime thread talking about cartoons like tom&jerry or simpsons because I know what people in general expect from this thread. But I think it is weird to extra point it out something isn't anime or be elite about the term.

It has nothing to do with elite about the term (WTF does that even mean). When there is a consensus about "anime" meaning "animation from Japan", and you are questioning that definition, you are really just argue for argument's sake and not doing anything constructive.

Jeez, I'm not talking about anybody in this thread being elite about it. -.- As I said, it's just a debate on principles so you are correct, it just arguing for argument's sake. It's fun to me, but I guess it isn't fun for everybody else so I will drop that topic now. I didn't mean to cause a bad mood in this thread.
