I had no idea Lily was a Dandy acolyte! These avatars are from when we failed to do a contest together, and I've refused to change mine :fonz:

I kind of wonder if that Op-ed is half serious.

Space Dandy is the best anime and I won't accept any other, obviously plebeian, answer

I won't discredit your obviously poor choice based on it, but Space Dandy is in all honesty quite plebeian, albeit not as mainstream as OPM or SNK.

I've never heard CL express anything about the show.
idk if I've ever heard her talk much about anime in general, all she ever does is call me cute, gross, silly, dumb, stupid, and other adjectives.
I think Shazzeh was quite fond of SD though.

Films count, right?
I'd have to go with Whisper of the Heart.
It's a childhood favorite of mine.

criticially speaking, tsuritama is the most impressive anime i've seen

my favourite is probably brigadoon though.

CL doesn't like anime. I'm sure she's watched some of it and enjoyed some of it though.

Madoka Magica is best anime. That's why it was banned from discussions of which show is the best; it always won and made the discussion boring.

I can think of 4 off the top of my head that I would... I guess not recommend? Or is it anti-recommend? Does it matter if you like the badness of them anyway?

Asterisk War.

You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?

I guess? ??? I mean that was a serious recommendation in that I was trying to recommend bad things.

Dansai Bunri was a great example of "so bad it's good." The plot centers around the conflict between the writers' efforts to create a story just plausible enough to pretend the show isn't just softcore fetish porn, and their job of producing softcore fetish porn.

Just started Gourmet Girl Graffiti because I liked Food Wars and this looks like another food-based anime. I'm only one episode in so far, and things look promising. A bit more scaled back and relaxed than Food Wars. More like a normal Food Network show and less like Chopped, cutthroat Kitchen, and Iron Chef rolled into a high school anime.

Oh. Okay, then. I'm glad we're actually on the same wavelength here.

THere's a very good series on how Asterisk war sucks and what its success means for anime.

Asterisk War isn't entertainingly bad, it's just bland and weak.

I almost forgot. Ore-tachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai is the most profound experience I have had watching an anime. It is simultaneously both the most excruciating, yet amazing anime I have watched.

Then you must discipline yourself. Say ten hail Marys and do four sepkus and you will be forgiven.

I watched some vids from the series TP linked. The TL;DR is that asterisk wars is popular because it has cute girls, swords, and modern animation, but that it lacks any sort of depth in character, plot, and setting.

My question is: why does the second half of that statement have to be true? Even if most of your audience just wants cute girls, swords, and A1 animation, why not also have a good script? This isn't a rhetorical question, I'm actually curious. The question is, did they make a generic script because they had no reason to make a more in-depth one, or did they make a generic script because they thought a more in-depth one would actually alienate their audience?
