Today's topic: Pick an anime you like (or most likely in the context of the question, liked), or a manga with the same properties. Now talk about the moment where it suddenly began to go downhill and never truly recovered. Say why, of course.

By the way, I'm not going to answer the topic's question myself because if you've listened to me in the past, you already know exactly what I'm going to bring up, you just don't know exactly where. Feel free to guess what series it is. It's not worth any points though.]]> Yuka Takeuchi Fan Anything AnimeWed, 01 Sep 2010 19:25:50 -0700 http://www.bakunyuu.com/baka/read.php?5,9044,9044#msg-9044 http://www.bakunyuu.com/baka/read.php?5,9044,9044#msg-9044
This series seems very fun and it's too bad that there aren't as many people who are translating it. I also heard that this had been licensed on one site but I haven't found any information about it. If anyone knows who's licensed it please let me know or if there's any other information you might have on this series.

Reason I brought this up was the character design. Sure, these ladies cross between moderately and gloriously endowed, but there are some moments in which are gif worthy, but you'll have to play close attention or you'll miss them. One girl in particular, Flameheart, has brief but glorious moments, when a delinquent falls on top of her, and squashing one of her breasts in a brief, but beautiful manner. This is done after an exchange of burns in which the delinquent calls Flameheart's hair a set of drills that are better on a construction site. Then there are the DREADED SUNLIGHT EFFECTS that just flat out ruin another potential girl.

I would've shown pictures, but still in the process of watching the first episode, and probably the next.

Doesn't mean that the industry can't fuck up sometimes.

What I want here is for people to state a grievance or two they have with anime as it has grown into a major medium, either in general or on a case-by-case basis. More importantly, stating WHY it's a problem to you could help us learn just a little more about what does and doesn't work in our medium of choice.

Or, to put it another way, intelligently complain about shit you don't like.

I'll start with a broad topic. The rest of you may follow at leisure.


Over-reliance on "Tsundere" characters

I blame "Love Hina". It was the first of FAR too many anime and manga these days where, instead of creating any sort of romantic tension or following any sort of logical relationship steps, most lasting romances in anime are boiled down as follows.

Step 1: Boy meets girl.
Step 2: Girl hits boy for either no reason or reasons beyond boy's control. Apology will not save boy, ever- those that work are quickly forgotten.
Step 3: Boy is forced to become a complete doormat with a fist magnet in his nose, as for some reason, the plot demands that he get with girl despite there often being MUCH better choices available in the cast (See: Mutsumi) that will PROVE themselves better on numerous occasions. The Shinto gods themselves will ensure that boy will constantly be thrown into situations where he will be sucking fist.
Step 4: Repeat for about 25 episodes.
Step 5: Completely bullshit 'reason' why girl is the way she is quickly pulled out of the writer's ass, evidently redeeming her entirely in the eyes of the entire cast during the last episode.
Step 6: SURPRISE!! SUDDENLY COUPLE~!! =3
Step 7: Cue continued girl-on-boy domestic abuse.

To me, 'tsundere' characters are basically a lazy way to extend the length of a series and are often very poorly written. As implied above, there is often no reason given as to why the girl gets a free pass to make the boy her bitch, and when there IS, it is rarely a good one. It also comes off as completely strange that a relationship built on "I HATE YOU YARRRRGH *PUNCH*" will often make a RAPID 180 in the final episode and suddenly pair the characters together as a happy little item faster than you can say 'two-for-one sale', with no reason besides the writers needing to wrap things up before the 26-episode deal concludes.

After all, there are PLENTY of unlikable, vindictive bitches in real life. Exactly what makes them more appealing when they're on an animation cel?]]> Yuka Takeuchi Fan Anything AnimeMon, 05 Oct 2009 15:16:47 -0700 http://www.bakunyuu.com/baka/read.php?5,7199,7199#msg-7199 http://www.bakunyuu.com/baka/read.php?5,7199,7199#msg-7199umph and personality that Anime made in the late 80'-early 90's possess in my opinion.
This isn't to say ALL modern anime are like this(and that all classic anime were great..) - Technology has come a long way, allowing for some pretty amazing things to be done in this day and age in an anime (Last Exile for example is incredible, and Champloo was awesome as well - not to mention Gainax's FLCL and Gurren Lagaan among the others.); Basically, you all should know the major hits that've come out over the years.
perhaps however, these are simply the rantings of a nostalgic, old school anime fan - too caught up in the look and feel of the old-school anime that got me hooked on the genre in the first place .

How do you all feel about it?]]> NDOAlpha Anything AnimeWed, 07 Oct 2009 14:34:52 -0700 http://www.bakunyuu.com/baka/read.php?5,6965,6965#msg-6965 http://www.bakunyuu.com/baka/read.php?5,6965,6965#msg-6965
For the uneducated, Gurren Lagann is an anime that revolves around two guys, a busty girl, and the giant robots they find and pilot. At least that's my description of it. There are no english words to describe how fucking awesome it is, so I'll describe it with a phrase that will make sense near the end of the series: "Galaxy-sized Giant Robots are FUCKYEAH amounts of win."

You have fanservice everywhere, giant robots with a trend of resembling giant faces, a recurring theme of "DRILL TO PIERCE THE HEAVENS!" and assloads of badassery that makes the famous Falcon Punch clip look like a wet candle. I'm dead serious here. When asked "when was the most awesome moment", there's no real answer aside from "the entire damn series".

What did get me into it was a character known as Ukraine. She doesn't appear in the anime (Yet, but hopefully very soon....), but she did appear in volume 2 of the manga, and from what I read, she has known to have 'impressive tracts of land.' I have not read the manga yet, but I was wondering if there are places in which I can read this manga and see this character for myself.

However there's something that displeases me a lot. IMO ep. 10 was even more disappointing than ep. 9. Haruka (the reason why i started watching at this series) is appearing less and less. Would Dan and the others they reach the moon? and if they do...would the benefits of low gravity (bountiful boobs) be shown to us?

Fubuki is what you'd expect, a busty maid who cleans the house and other maid duties, along with some other things. Kogarashi, on the other hand, is a large muscular man with fangs and claws, wears a maid outfit and attempts to please his master, Naeka, usually in rediculous or extreme ways.

Yeah. At first, I thought I would be watching this for the fanservice/comedy. But, no, I now watch it for Kogarashi! The most epic anime character ever!!! A man who wears a dress, has long hair, and still manages to be manlier than every other anime character ever. Put together.

Don't get me wrong, the constant bouncing breasts are great, but if I had to choose between the fanservice and Kogarashi, I'd totally choose Kogarashi! However, that would change Kogarashi himself, since he always doing perverted things.. in inocent ways. For example, he stole the panties of every girl in Naeka's school, to find a possible assassin(His only clue was that she wore strawberry print underwear). Did I mention he stole them while the girls were still wearing them?

If you love maids, big bouncy breasts or rediculous random humor then this anime is something you must see!]]> josh2405 Anything AnimeMon, 27 Apr 2009 13:30:39 -0700 http://www.bakunyuu.com/baka/read.php?5,4452,4452#msg-4452 http://www.bakunyuu.com/baka/read.php?5,4452,4452#msg-4452 DarkUltima Anything AnimeMon, 25 Aug 2008 17:51:46 -0700 http://www.bakunyuu.com/baka/read.php?5,4311,4311#msg-4311 http://www.bakunyuu.com/baka/read.php?5,4311,4311#msg-4311 Djibudus Anything AnimeTue, 05 Aug 2008 22:57:59 -0700 http://www.bakunyuu.com/baka/read.php?5,4254,4254#msg-4254 http://www.bakunyuu.com/baka/read.php?5,4254,4254#msg-4254www.freewebs.com] About damn time.]]> DarkUltima Anything AnimeFri, 25 Jul 2008 23:37:49 -0700 http://www.bakunyuu.com/baka/read.php?5,4234,4234#msg-4234 http://www.bakunyuu.com/baka/read.php?5,4234,4234#msg-4234 DarkUltima Anything AnimeWed, 06 Aug 2008 17:00:47 -0700 http://www.bakunyuu.com/baka/read.php?5,3223,3223#msg-3223 http://www.bakunyuu.com/baka/read.php?5,3223,3223#msg-3223 DarkUltima Anything AnimeThu, 20 Mar 2008 12:30:21 -0700 http://www.bakunyuu.com/baka/read.php?5,3208,3208#msg-3208 http://www.bakunyuu.com/baka/read.php?5,3208,3208#msg-3208
Yamamoto Genryuusai = Fusoya (FF4 based on looks.)

Ichigo Kurosaki = Cloud Strife (FF7 I assume based on personality that and when not in bankai he wields a giant sword.)

Orihime Inoue = Tifa/Aerith (FF7 Because of Tifa's obvious bust and I think Aerith for her personality.)
