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

so looks like my app is online

http://animelist.elasticbeanstalk.com/


sadly i couldn't get the functionality to work in a web host...maybe some day but too much do to now by friday (2 more major assignments + fix some code + report...LOL)

instruction:

make a search for animes
drag choices to right box
make more searches
click save (doesnt work online )

note the search is using ANN api and is a bit limited/random in what it returns (to put it nicely). you need to try random search terms in a name

how the code works (it does work just not online ffs)
+ Show Spoiler +

1) populate webpage with html
2) user clicks search
3) servlet maps ajax search query to servlet method
4) create an instance of a master anime object that contains a list of anime that contain a list of anime info
5) put search query into a request to the animenewsnetwork returning a massive xml file of anime data
5) unmarshal this into the master anime object
6) for each anime in the master object, return their attributes (title, id and list of info) and map these into an arraylist
7) send this back to the ajax method as a gson json and then json parse it so each set of anime data is appended as a set of html elements into a jquery list
8) display these to user in html
9) user drags to add search entries to right box and clicks on Save List
10) imagegenerator servlet calls the ajax which uses jquery to parse the content of each img src value of the returned list into an array
11) servlet fetches this data and parses it line by line into an arraylist
12) instantiate an imagecontroller and call its controlimage method by passing in our arraylist of image urls
13) count the number of instances in the arraylist and then use MATH to work out what size grid that n instances require to be displayed upon
14) draw the grid then for each instance of image url draw an image ontop of it , increasing draw starting-point x axis by appropriate (preset) width of image each time then when we hit the maximum (preset) width of our grid reduce x axis to 0 and increase y axis by appropriate (preset) height of an image
15) return the new generatedimage filepath and back in our imagegenerator servlet call an instance of our image uploadcontroller and pass in the filepath
16) uploadcontroller authenticates with Imgur upload service, encodes the image and sends it
17) Imgur returns a json string that contains the url of the image now uploaded on it service
18) imagegenerator serlvet sends this back to the ajax where it gets parsed , formatted and displayed to the user as an image file/hyperlink


mm i notice it doesnt scale down to fit on smaller resolution screens. there are so many things i could improve on its crazy (let alone making it actually work)

Haha what? If fanservice isn't why you watch DxD, I would suggest dropping it instantly because there are far better series for not-fanservice.


That's not how it works. Name another series as lomo as hs dxd without fan service.

I mean, any harem show with superpowers basically is the same for me (and harem in itself is a genre that rides fanservice pretty heavily, will be hard to find a harem show without fanservice). So yeah, if you think shows dealing with a loser with a superpower and countless babes with superpowers being head over heels for the guy for no reason are super cool, but you know, "not for the fanservice", I won't stop you :D

Edit: Haha, nice gifs!


It doesn't sound like you actually watch any of these shows at all....... Disregarding the shitty shows that take itself seriously aside, girls don't like the MC for no reason. Also, there is hardly any heavy fan service most of the time.

There isn't necessarily heavy fanservice like DxD's, but what I think is that harem is in itself a fanservice genre: the protagonist is often bland enough so that every male watcher can sort of identify (and I mean, there is even a point where he's just so average and so bland that you can't even identify because you feel cooler and more special hahaha), yet the guy is picking up 5+ cute chicks while not really trying/not being aware of it.
I've watched my share of harem shows, but I really can't watch much more, indeed :D. Here are some recommendations for you if you like DxD so much that you don't even like it for the fanservice first (l0l). Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou has a cooler MC (still a trash anime though), and while not being harem per say, "Dakara Boku wa, H ga Dekinai"'s premise is basically a copy of that of DxD, and main heroine is basically a less booby Rias: red-haired super powerful noble princess who contracts with MC for his life, more or less.

Edit: Wow, I'm a bit hurt that the 2 shows are 7+ rated on MAL. Well, I guess everything has a 7+ on MAL, haha. Goes to show that people don't fully use the 10-mark scale.

Also I just finished rereading Lolita. Why is master lolicon Nagi not reading dis masterpiece? :D

you're disgusting...

Please Nagi. I am thinking of aurochs and angels, the secret of durable pigments, prophetic sonnets, the refuge of art.

Lolita is really fucking good lol. People always go "wow so gross, so lewd" but it's a spectacular work of fiction.

thats not what my idea is for

its for generated composite collages on-the-go to share recs with people

MAL doesnt let you create customised lists or generate composite collages, its a totally new thing (afaik, barring a banner generator on hummingbird)

say i wanted to tell you my fav suspense anime

[image loading]

or what ive been watching lately

[image loading]

add some formatting/parsing to keep the text titles on there , make it look like it does on the website etc

lol i have no idea what that image is before moon phase. oh casshern sins

i could add manga and characters to the search aswell and show you my best grills

Well, maybe Daimaou was not objectively that bad as harem/ecchi goes, but I think I've watched it when I was already over that genre, so I may have judged it overly harshly. As I said, MC was cool.

Edit: But man, this thread is so funny sometimes. I have to defend myself when I say that Daimaou is a bad anime, and something like Death Note or, God forbid, Code Geass R2 is universally considered bad? Thank goodness I'm not here for recs :D

Haha what? If fanservice isn't why you watch DxD, I would suggest dropping it instantly because there are far better series for not-fanservice.


That's not how it works. Name another series as lomo as hs dxd without fan service.

I mean, any harem show with superpowers basically is the same for me (and harem in itself is a genre that rides fanservice pretty heavily, will be hard to find a harem show without fanservice). So yeah, if you think shows dealing with a loser with a superpower and countless babes with superpowers being head over heels for the guy for no reason are super cool, but you know, "not for the fanservice", I won't stop you :D

Edit: Haha, nice gifs!


It doesn't sound like you actually watch any of these shows at all....... Disregarding the shitty shows that take itself seriously aside, girls don't like the MC for no reason. Also, there is hardly any heavy fan service most of the time.

There isn't necessarily heavy fanservice like DxD's, but what I think is that harem is in itself a fanservice genre: the protagonist is often bland enough so that every male watcher can sort of identify (and I mean, there is even a point where he's just so average and so bland that you can't even identify because you feel cooler and more special hahaha), yet the guy is picking up 5+ cute chicks while not really trying/not being aware of it.
I've watched my share of harem shows, but I really can't watch much more, indeed :D. Here are some recommendations for you if you like DxD so much that you don't even like it for the fanservice first (l0l). Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou has a cooler MC (still a trash anime though), and while not being harem per say, "Dakara Boku wa, H ga Dekinai"'s premise is basically a copy of that of DxD, and main heroine is basically a less booby Rias: red-haired super powerful noble princess who contracts with MC for his life, more or less.

Edit: Wow, I'm a bit hurt that the 2 shows are 7+ rated on MAL. Well, I guess everything has a 7+ on MAL, haha. Goes to show that people don't fully use the 10-mark scale.


No second seasons. No sales. literally no-name light novels. These look like they're gonna be about as bad as absolute duo, or world break and are made just to be throwaways.
please...

Haha I bow to you harem patrician, you seem to do your research well.

Yes wtf Daimaou was solid (I never got around to reading the LNS tho). It was like the 1st fantasy harem show I watched lol.

Well, maybe Daimaou was not objectively that bad as harem/ecchi goes, but I think I've watched it when I was already over that genre, so I may have judged it overly harshly. As I said, MC was cool.

Edit: But man, this thread is so funny sometimes. I have to defend myself when I say that Daimaou is a bad anime, and something like Death Note or, God forbid, Code Geass R2 is universally considered bad? Thank goodness I'm not here for recs :D


I don't think either of those shows is universally considered bad in this thread. They are universally considered to be overrated. I can't comment on Code Geass because I haven't watched it and can't recall any discussion here that occured over the past year. In the last discussion about Death Note most people agreed upon that it started off pretty strong but the second half was really bad.

I haven't seen anyone here call Death Note bad, just overrated.
First part of death note was great, but sadly the second part drags the series down.

I mean if i were to just rate the first part i'd rate it super highly, but the second part can't really just be ignored just like i can't ignore that steins;gate had a bad start. Some series have a bad start and then get good later, death note was the opposite, great start and then it just went downhill.

I personally really didn't like Code Geass, it had an interesting premise and some cool characters but it ended up falling flat and just frustrated me more than it entertained me. For example the big twist with + Show Spoiler +
Lelouche 'accidentally' telling euphy to kill the japanese was fucking retarded

I don't consider it to be some sort of objectively godawful show though.

Only plebs actually still enjoy anime. You're meant to be disgruntled as you watch everything and complain about each season being worse than the previous.


To be honest, I lately skimmed through the summer chart because I was bored and it looks pretty promising.

Yeah summer doesn't look quite as strong as spring but it doesn't look god awful either, definitely some stuff to watch.
From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!

Code Geass was kind of dumb fun imo, it's not great but it's not horrible. That big twist was garbage and pretty typical "I wrote myself into a corner now have to pull a rabbit out my ass to continue the story".

Dropped Code Geass at ep 17
I found 0 enjoyment in it and gave it far too many episodes

Figured maybe I should give it a re-watch but there weren't many likeable chars so 0 motivation to do so
Just want more Mikagura
Social Justice is a fools errand. May all the adherents at its church be thwarted. Of all the religions I have come across, it is by far the most detestable.

Stop tempting me with Mikagura. I'm waiting until I got a bit of a buffer to burn through. Weekly watching just isn't as enjoyable.
