I have gotten into watching bad anime, like Ikki Tousen (lol) or the new series, Infinate Stratos (which despite having every anime cliche ever in it, is still more original than Naruto! Fuck, even a Tom Clancy novel is more original than Naruto!). I've tried watching strike witches, but to be honest that just made me want to pull out my eyes and set them on fire (it is beyond bad). Tenjou Tenge is just boring.
Highschool of the dead continues the trend of almost all zombie fiction being ultimately unlikeable (allthough Onechanbara the movie is a really B-movie style B-movie, and thus mildly entertaining)
Ikki Tousen kinda works as a distraction because its just a bunch of fast moving shapes, no real plot and one dimensional characters, so you can just zone out and see the pretty colours and hear the romance of the three kingdoms getting raped by association. Kinda same for IS, its just random colours and shapes, no real plot or characters, and you've seen everything somewhere else so you can just lie there and like pay no attention.
Rio - Rainbow Gate is kinda ok in a distractiony way, but the second episode doesnt work on the website i use, so i gave up.
So yeah, any kinda bad/simple action anime around, point em this way. No long running stuff, and no gundam (the designs are so bland, its like watching cardboard boxes) Like 13-26 episode series' or something.

paging doctor vellfire to the bad amine ward.

i don't think rose of versailles is the sort of nonstop action kaworu is lookin for, and mendol isn't anime.
-
What was that titkissing anime? Where they got special powers by kissing tits.
-
Any Hentai would qualify. Especially the ones that actually try to tell a story. Off the top of my head, I'd recommend Strange Love.
-
panty & stocking has fast-moving shapes. abenobashi might work though it was kinda gross. imo both are irritating in that you can see what they're attempting to do but they miss it by such a wide margin because of typical anime garbage.

seikon no qwaser. kaworu please watch all of this and report back.
-
actually good: Sexy Commando Club. watch that one kaworu. watch episodes out from youtube. or that baking anime Guana talks about, that seemed really good.
most of anime is actually boring so i might not waste time on it unless it's hilariously bad or whatever. I would instead waste that time on manga, even manga can come of at least entertaining and not irritating most of time. jojo's bizarre adventure (ALL OF IT jesus christ, all of it after the second chapter/manga), hunter x hunter, vinland saga. i know my shit since i actually use this stuff to waste my time on.
anybody giving me a sour look: suck a dack people. suck my purple dack.
-
the qwaser tit suckling anime is pretty boring. wanna watch panty&stocking at some point but cant be bothered right now, as i want to pay attention to that one
-
aaaaa i forgot all about sexy commando club. i love it!!!!
also kaworu yes it is boring. i just saw it once on some japanese site with no subs and i was trying to just GUESS what the heck the plot was and my guess was "guy must kiss tits to get superpowers" and then i found out the name and looked it up and i was entirely right
-

If we go there la blue girl LOL
Anyway did you Watch Chobits you might like it.

Isekai no Seikishi Monogatari
It's based off of Tenchi (the main character even looks similar, albeit younger) but somehow they made it worse by replacing the sci fi aspect of the harem formula and trading it for elves, mechs, and a magical student academy.
All of these are unwatchably boring though and I can't believe you, of gainax namesake, haven't watched Panty and Stocking yet.
Michiko to Hatchin... this one gives me mixed feelings. They tried really hard with this one... but to what end is anyone's guess. I'm not sure what they were trying to accomplish but I don't think they did it. Whatever the end result was I did indeed enjoy it very much but I do have a habit of liking anime for all the wrong reasons (hint: it's never for intentional reasons)
-
Yeah, do watch chobits. And if you do like stuff like chobits, then I would go with the suggestion to look up random manga and read that. There are so many more, and not only are they quicker to sort though, you are that much more likely to find stuff that's either really bad, or worse than stuff you'd commonly find made into anime.
It shouldn't be surprising how often you'll find a manga that's essentially chobits but in a different theme/flavor or whatever. (There's this one I couldn't help reading that I can only assume is absolutely right up your alley. They say it's already being made into an anime, so I might wait until the anime actually comes out before telling you which one it is.)
As far as hentais that try and put a story in them, sex demon queen is probably the funniest in terms of unintentional humor combined seamlessly with intentional humor.

to aru kagaku no railgun has that faux-excitement thing going on too
totally spies is legit good, start watching from season 3.

Totally spies is an anime?

hmmmmnnnn, couldn't sleep lastnight so I watched the newest Eva movie (you cannot advance), there's some neat changes compared to the series, but the film covers the space of a few months yet doesn't really say it much, so it feels like characters change their personalities at random for no reason. Like, there is no real concentration on Asuka's relationship with Shinji, so when she starts going weird, it doesn't make sense in the context of the film.
The animation is totally flawless, it is one of the nicest looking movies around.
More topless Kaworu^__________________________^
Rei seems to be cuter in this one.
Mari is TOTALLLY inconsequential, but I feel that will change in the next movie.
The angel re-designs are really neat.
Essentially, it's kind of like the first one, it tries to tell too much in too short a time, and doesn't really try and explain anything. One of the strengths of the series was how it kept referencing the backstory, and like how the people met up etc, but I guess here you're expected to know that already, except it's not the same story so things are different. Another strength of the series was how it had the courage to (and lake of budget made it...) have just extended scenes of nothingness, which really created an uneasy sense of isolation and melancholy. Here, there is no time for that because WE HAVE TO SEE EVAS BACKFLIPPING EVERY THREE MINUTES!!! But it looks like the next movie may finally enter the pretentious psuedo-psychology of the old movies, so I am looking forward to it. Also Kaworu will have much more screentime, which is never a bad thing.
In short, the series and original movies are so much better written (the writer was going through mental breakdown, so it had this real raw unevenness to it, which just makes it work!), and everything makes more sense in them. However the new movies are visually superior in every way (apart from maybe the finale of End of Evangelion, which is just psychotically brilliant), just the writing on a whole sucks, which is a shame as some of the scenes are really solid.
fuck it, this has just become RANDOM ANIME TOPIC.

occult academy only has 13 episodes and it's a very random show but i liked the ending
-
The World God Only Knows might be up your ally.
-
it qualifies imo. have you watched that pony show btw? I know it's an internet thing now but it looks good for kids.
edit: diebuster http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diebuster

He didn't even have to read my mind.
Yeah, if you finally resort to reading manga, this one is right up your alley. (or you can wait until it becomes an anime)

It is.

I just found a good/bad anime it's new too it called Dororon Enma kun Meramera I shit you not there is a old lady in this anime that has a geisha face with an army hat that says god on it. Did mention she twirls her saggy boobs like nunchucks.(kinda of makes you think what the fuck am I watching.)
But also it is based off an old anime.

might give it a look in
Just re-watched Disappearance of Haruhi blahblah
It's a really great movie. It has a nice slow pace, and is much much more sombre in tone than the series. like the scene where Kyon attacks Nagato is kinda WTF, it makes sense in the context, but is stark contrast to what we expect (like when he hits Haruhi in the 2nd season)
It's nicely animated, the characters are, as usual, excellent, and the plot is really decent, and justifies the two hour running time.
However it's very reliant on the show's back-story, and is in no-way stand alone. But if you've seen the two series' then you must check it out.
Also re-watching IKKI TOUSEN XTREME EXECUTOR
it's the standard ikki tousen fare, boobs, violence, mismatch of one-dimensional generics and the odd decent character and the kinda hisorical accuracy that makes dynasty warriors seem like a historical source. For those who don't know, ikki tousen is essentially schoolgirl dynasty warriors. Yes, that's right. The era of the three kingdoms has been reincarnated... as various young girls ranging from the hot (ryumou, kannu-unchou) to the loli (Koumei... yuck), whom fight it out wearing clothes with specific design flaws around the cleavage area. What sets this one as different is it seems to abandon all pretence of the three kingdoms and just be shit. It's watchable but its still shit. The second series, Dragon Destiny is by far the best of the series', and tries to stay the closest to the history.
-
yeah a friend has recommended that to me, I'm watching this current series which is kinda cool, like 3 souls share this one body, and they are from a fantasy land, but now in modern day japan, it gets quite cool, but a load of people are complaining that it's too complicated to follow, I assume these must be the same people who complain that new doctor who is too complicated to follow... as it is pretty easy to grip.
Also watching this other series, really bad 'slice of life' ecchi series, about a guy and his brother who move into a rural area, and every character is an anime stereotype, the cliches are so bad, you could accuse it of parody, but then you remember that ecchi is the most generic and bland unimaginative genre around. To Love Ru is kinda watchable though, but don't let anybody ever see you watching it, as boy is it embarassing. though the OVAs are much worse.
ALSOOO recently watched Angel Blade, which is really excellent. It doesn't seem to follow the tropes that much and can stand on it's own, and the ending is pretty sad, they really got it to work. And after a few weeks I finished K-On which I really enjoyed, I think it's because they just let it be innocent fun, rather than trying to wrongly sex it up. Allthough the merchandise is really awful!

My free month trial of netflix is getting close to running out, and I'm making the most of it by checking out every random anime it recommends to me.
If you haven't already seen it, you'd probably like Dead Leaves. Even though it's only an hour long, it's so fast-paced it's practically stupid. It was recommended based on my like of shin-chan so I figured it would be enjoyable. Although it seemed less like shin-chan and more like a less pretentious version of FLCL to me personally.
-
It's propably equally or more smug than FLCL. it looked like stylished boring action shit with fun absurd violent humour and blargh blargh blaaagargle.
edit on the other hand, it migh be more tolerable on animation/production side and for not being full of anime dating/social/drama/almost given trope shit like most of anime is. propably more entertaining than most anime mentioned in this page alone
-
flcl is pretentious and smug? I haven't seen it in going on 5 years now so idk but I liked it back then
-
maybe you should check it out again then earl? i guess no anime is particulary/visibly smug but FLCL just seems to be highly stylized, conscious effort to be absurd in nature/IMPRESSIVE (in absurdity) when most of it's content is not! i GUASS it's impressive/crazy if you are... in highschool/upper-secondy. it's not particulary funny or entertaining, there is not much of anything in the series. idk it feels like Yoshitaka Amano's art for Final Fantasies that high in quality is not the same as it's just highly stylized art made for poor entertaiment i guess. i think it was the first one in that style and production and it was a success in west so i understand it's success in anime circles though.
I think it's similiar in nature like Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann and Dead Leaves except that earlier provides possibly a cohesive, good plot and latter offers much more action and entertaiment? i think the humour is pretty similiar too, absurd/try to be wild and punkish but not particulary funny really. blah blah.
I guess i'm comparing this to actually pretty good/funny anime like Sexy Commando (terrible name until you know the context) or really unique, wild graphic style like Jojo's Bizarre Adventure (only a manga) or Akira. time better spent if you can say that with any anime (topic title: gimme some bad anime aaaaaa why do you hate yourselves so much).
EDIT or that bread/baking anime Guana likes. i'd be willing to pour my time on that one.
-
flcl is really shit, i could never get into it. I totally agree with any and every claim about it's pretentiousness. Everything about it seemed too forced.
I should watch gurren lagen, i watched the first few eps when it came out, but kinda drifted away
-
gurren laganeirn was awful, really only had any plot/dialogue that was worthwhile if you're a teen. I know this doesn't help with the pretentiousness aspect, but I remember that a lot of people just totally didn't GET flcl. like they thought all this shit in it was entirely random and purposeless and for the most part it's not. not sure I want to watch it again tho.
magical arcade abenobashi is kind of in the same style, and it's better than gurren but it's pretty gross with all the child sexualization
but like in terms of being STYLIZED uh isn't that Panty and Stocking? except panty and stocking has less substance and mostly just panders to the otaku crowd. it's not even ironic or self-depreciating like you might expect, it's just pandering
kaworu would like diebuster I think

exactly. god please forgive me for my sins... ~~ helsing but yeah uh i just picked that gurren only to draw a comparison on the artstyle and i just guessed the story part (which is better, adolescent anime a or adolescent anime b?!?).
idk i made a small rant about why for all these centuries and propably for the next two centuries it seems that despite all the resources, talent and capabilities/knowledge to pull out amazing animation stuff or GREAT STORIES (i've seen couple of studio ghibli/miyazaki movies and they are propably not much better than most of disney movies either apart from AMAZING VISUALS) i've never seen anything that had something else to say that action or fantasy movies. like i mean WHERES THE INDIE/ART/SELFEXPRESSION STUFF. does it have to do with funding & What Sells? propably. it's still strange that even an asterix & obelix animation movie experiments more than most of good anime movies unbinded by licenses. the indie/realistic stuff stays in a subsection of underground manga.
considering how much anime and manga i've read, i can think of only couple of mangas or anime that i'd or could recommend to anyone. actually most of manga & anime i have read or seen is pretty gross by rule if in just undertones or suggested values (the woman harem/date/womanteenagerchildren sexualizing is especially bad for almost everything, jesus christ.) and i'd just recommend anyone to stay away from it. for me it's easier to tolerate shounen action stuff since there is much less focus on women (and panty shots) and how just everyones just wanna. rip. that. juicy pussy. apart. from that 13 year old big breasted japanese girl. also all anime women and girls are cliches by rule you can't argue on this point!
edit aaaa and here i did a rant when you tried to steer away from it :/ basically post summary Steer Away From Anime And Manga It's A Bad Timedump You're More Productive Even With Games
-
i'd argue that the women in eva weren't too much cliches at their time, however it was so massive that since then everybody's been copying it (one of the characters in 'my little sister can't be this cute' constantly refers to dramatic/depressing anime as 'post-evangelion'), like every series has a blue/purple short haired silent/odd character based on Rei (most prominant being Nagato from Haruhi, but Haruhi is brilliant, so I can let that be)
actually, my little sister... is kinda good by anime standards. Despite being an incest/whatever series, by having the female lead be a closet otaku, it's able to make fun of itself, and it's audience. It works a lot better than other similar series, like kissxsis.

yeah. main heros is a normal or shy, alternatively perhaps annoyed/patronizing and rational highschool guy (at least at the end of the series or when he gets serious) when something amazing happens to HIM. all girls or some girls are sudendly attracted to him. there is a talkative girl... there is an odd, quiet girl... there is busty, arrogant girl or alternatively busty, energetic/happy girl... there is a shy busty girl... there is a woman or manly, bossing girl or woman... there is a sexy woman but she is usually a side-character... nerd girl... well yeah, i can't think of any more but there's propably more. the main hero guys got it the easiest, especially on highschool series as the guys aren't based on stereotypes or roles so strictly and you can develope them.
i think a lot of women roles depend on bustiness, sometimes on cuteness and pantyshot amount and least amount on plain very womanly, sexy characters. then comes the secondary variations to these sexuality types.
guys can get into this kind of classification but they are usually reserved for side-characters and the main heros get into a class or stereotype of sort but at least you lot of times see what they are thinking or how they act in situations on some kind of logic when women usually react in a cliche/you don't hear their reasoning lot of times. you see the act but not think, you observe them.
now i feel bit disgusted/physically sick and i don't want to discuss about this more

all i have to say about this is seikon no qwaser (please read its wikipedia page)
-
don't even start talking about women in anime it's not worth the huge effort it would take. summary: it stinks
(i've seen couple of studio ghibli/miyazaki movies and they are propably not much better than most of disney movies either apart from AMAZING VISUALS)
depends on the movie. a lot of them are more for kids, but some of them are insightful. most miyazaki stuff is pretty much a highly stylized, pretty kids movie, but Isao Takahata tends to pretty elegantly mix insight into life with entertainment and visuals
definitely more for kids: ponyo, howl's, kiki
gulp: my neighbors the yamadas, pom poko, only yesterday, grave of the fireflies
the difference between these is back when I watched em, the gulp movies all had me SHEDDING TEARS OF EMOTION while the others were like oh that's cute
pom poko is kind of convoluted/boring for most of the movie and only yesterday is boring in the middle and grave of the fireflies is ultra depressing. but watch at least a couple of them before you DARE commenting on ghibli again!! or don't, but if you're gonna watch anime
-
speaking of ghibli-esque disney-type animes, everyone should check out arashi no yoru ni, it's hecka cute and the art style is p. nice

the use of breast milk as an actual plot device.
even wikipedia sounds a bit disgusted
Whenever a Qwaser is replenishing its soma by breastfeeding from a nubile maiden, the Qwaser is draining away the maiden's life force through the breast milk whose quality and potency can be magnified (or diminished) by the situational emotions of the maiden not unlike how coffee or tea is sometimes modified by adding cream or sugar.
jesus christ i thought anime would never piss me off again

oh also I thought Dennou Coil was a pretty watchable anime. comics are universally better if you exclude feature films though. Japan Tengu Party Illustrated. i should reread that shit.
-
i was on some japanese video site and saw an episode of seikon no qwaser with no subs and no clue what it was. i decided to make up the plot as i went. the plot i made up was "girl has to drink as much breast milk as possible to get superpowers". i was pretty close, the only thing i got wrong was that the grey haired dude isn't a girl (he sounded/looked like one in the anime)
i wrote an article for it on tomatoland. glad it's still up: http://tomatoland.org/test/index.php/Titkissers

probably because i copied the voice actor info from the real wikipedia entry so it'd look legit.
this is my go-to example of how awful anime can be. apparently (according to a youtube comment i just saw) it just recently started airing a second season. great. fantastic. one of my favorite parts is how hard it tries to justify itself via the bible. it pretends it's got this huge symbolism of jesus sucking mary's breasts somehow meaning that all this garbage is ART.

I'm really liking Deadman Wonderland I saw the anime and then started to read the manga I see the ending is coming but I don't know the outcome yet witch is kind of odd because normally anime tips it's hand way before you get near the ending. got to wait a few more chapters :(
-
finally got round to finishing Rahxephon, and it rips off eva so much towards the end that I was actually laughing, it feels like it was made as like a response to the complaints about evangelion's ending, in a way like 'we'll show you how to do it properly', except it lacks any real substance/depth and is just funny/
Started watching toradora! lately, and it is quite allright for a school romance series. Nice innocent fun with nowhere near the bizarre sexuality of other series'. To Love Ru is an example of an overly sexualised series, but that managed to have a few nice pleasant moments :)
