Would not chill with you if you paid me
I could chill with you, but I'd leave after half an hour
I can't chill with you because you'd be in jail
I'd consider chilling with you, but the little girl shit gives me bad vibes
Would not chill with you unless you were a woman

Would not chill with by choice, but I'd take you over those other shits
Would chill with, no question
If you weren't a hunterfag I'd chill
Not chilling with, even if you're a woman
I would rather be beheaded by muslims than chill
And manga.
Chill, dude!
can't say i like or dislike this one really
only played the ryukishi07 vns, like your leiji and kids shows but dont care much for the rest, movies are fine dont care much about manga
not a fan
not a fan
i like UY and daicon a lot, you also picked the best flcl girl, not much to say about the rest
rem and key.... high iq, good image for dennou coil lol
dont rly know what people see in ippo, i like jinrui and 3gatsu was fine but i dont have much else in common with you
maybe im wrong but you seem fairly new to anime, there's lots of more exciting shows to discover, but you're already heading in a good direction i think
nice grid
despise f/z but your grid has a fairly coherent aesthetic (even if i dont particularly like it)
look like urushihara satoshi boobs next to perfect blue, is that lemnear? i like ur grid
said it before but im not hugely keen on this grid, it's fine though
rly like this, almost put alien 9 on my own dont rly like flifla too much but overall i think your grid looks nice
always like seeing urs even if i dont like spacing ur quotes
what do you think of koike's lupin
god i rly do quite like anime it kicks ass hell yeah, also how do i get Yea Forums to stop telling me my image contains an embedded file
looks like i missed a quote link oops, well it's obvious who i was meant to link when i was talking about the f/z grid
>is that lemnear?
Yes.
>i like ur grid
Thanks, you have good taste.
>how do i get Yea Forums to stop telling me my image contains an embedded file
1) Don't embed files in your image
2) Reencode your image, change one pixel if you have to. That should change enough of the file to take care of the error.
Give the Ping Pong manga a try, Matsumoto's art style is great.
You mostly prefer manly stuff when it comes to manga, but it's moe that you tend to enjoy in other media. I like that contrast.
Not much to say here, other than watch "more anime". I'm not insulting you, I'm giving you an advice.
See above. LOGH and maybe EVA are the only shows I'd recommend watching on your list.
Style doesn't always come along with good writing and ambitious storytelling, in your case it does. Great taste.
Do you also enjoy shows without lolis in them?
This chart looks like it was made by two different people.
There's more to anime than CGDCT shows, try to expand your horizon.
You've been watching anime for at least two decades. Also, very visually-appealing screenshots.
You're merely pretending to be patrician, you got a long way to go kid.
When fanservice was still good and less straight to your face, great chart.
You prefer anime that have artistic merits, and I can respect that. However, half of your shows don't fit in that category. I like your Hisoka pictuer, it's a real eye-catcher.
Not my type of stuff.
Very odd picks, why would you include stuff like OPM when you have a boner for the 80s-90s?
How are you doing today, patriciananon?
Hey, this chart looks so familiar to me.
Great bottom row and cute girls.
>There's more to anime than CGDCT shows
I wouldn't classify any of those shows that way. Maybe SSR and LWA very loosely.
>However, half of your shows don't fit in that category
What shows would those be? I can only think of Natsume and Gungrave. Natsume is just a really relaxing anime that focuses on the MC's journey to understand himself and learn to live in harmony with others.
Gungrave is the best gangstar/mafia anime ever made, if we ignore the first episode and a few videogame-like fights.
HxH definitely doesn't, at least the 2011 adaptation, unless you think close ups of unanimated faces with ugly cross-hatching is "artistic merit."
HxH's artistic merit resides in the fact that it has great storytelling, multi-layered and complex characters, the best power system in fiction, deep and thought-provoking themes and fleshed out side characters. Those elements, combined with consistent animation that has some peaks here and there, make it the best long running anime ever made.
>consistent animation
It's barely animated. Watch more anime.
Also, if the only good thing is the writing just read the manga, because the 2011 show is horribly paced and drawn out to fill air time.
>best long running anime ever made
Not even the best long running battle shounen.

I'm sure I've watched more anime than you and HxH was able to keep a consistent level of animation for 148 episodes. Something that other long running shows have never managed to do. You have to keep in mind that it was released weekly for nearly 4 years. Also, of course I've read the manga more than one time already.
What's the best long running shounen?
>I'm sure I've watched more anime than you
No, you haven't. Your shitty grid only has shows from like a 9 year time span.
>consistent level of animation for 148 episodes
Consistently bad.
>other long running shows have never managed to do
Precure is longer, airs weekly, and is massively better animated.

>What's the best long running shounen?
Hokuto no Ken or Dragon Ball, but they both went to shit after a while. They're still good for longer than the entire run of HxH, though.
Only a deranged mongoloid would think that Precure has better animation than HxH.
Why does there always seem to be an argument about HxH in every 3x3 thread?
>what do you think of koike's lupin
Goemon and Jigen movies were good. The Fujiko Mine spinoff is so bad that it should be ignored completely and not considered part of the franchise.
I have been enjoying myself, friendo. I have been doing non anime related things because I have seen enough. Mostly doing Fashionframe and exercise.
'99 looks better
Are we talking about animation wise or writing wise? Because if we're talking about writing HxH is way better than DB or HnK and I really love HnK.
As for the animation, DB had some decent animation but overall it was generic, bland and very low quality. HnK's animation was a joke.
Bland colour palette and retarded camera work.
i agree about the movies, i actually like mine fujiko to iu onna but not any more or less than other lupin entries, i just use it on my grid because i like the picture
Wow, they did a good job animating one of the most crucial fights in the narrative, while everything else looks like shit. Meanwhile here's what random monster of the week fights look like in Precure.
lets not generalise your statement to all of precure, star twinkle for example looks like shit
Still looks much better than HxH.
nothing other than the stock animation has come even close to episode 1 yet, i cant compare it to hxh though as ivent seen it
>What's bottom center?
YuYuYu s2
Do you really think that looks good? That's on the same level of Digimon or Pokemon animation.
Here is some random scene from HxH that blows out anything ever made in any long running show. And this scene isn't even "one of the most crucial fights".
youtube.com
Again, keep in mind that those episodes came out weekly for years.
I like Koike's character designs, so it was very frustrating that the spinoff had dumb horizontal lines over literally everything. They obscured the great designs for no reason. It looked very weird. In the Koike movies we get to see the whole character design. There is nothing good about Fujiko Mine spinoff other than the voice actors.
>Do you really think that looks good?
Yeah, because I'm not blind.
>That's on the same level of Digimon or Pokemon animation.
Maybe from their movies. Thanks for proving you don't know shit about animation. Not going to bother responding to your shit anymore.
>Here is some random scene from HxH that blows out anything ever made in any long running show
You're a retard. Naruto looked way better when they actually put in effort.
youtube.com
Pokemon has pretty good animation. Do you even watch it? It looks a lot more high budget than HxH ever did.
Naruto had good choreography but only in very few episodes. If we take the entirety of Naruto, Shippuden included, and compare it to the entirety of HxH. It will be obvious that HxH is better animated. Also don't compare some shit made by Pierrot to Chadhouse.
Pierrot has always been better than badhouse, since the 80s when Oshii was there.
HxH fags can't take someone criticizing their show without copy pasting the same arguments from r/HxH over and over until everyone who doesn't care leaves the thread.
Why do these threads turn to shit so often? Can't people just stop obsessing over other people's taste to the point where they have to derail threads over it?
What am I supposed to be looking at? What are you trying to say? Use your words, and form an argument.
Cope
Of course an inferior being like you who cites Naruto as an example of consistent animation doesn't understand Japanese or how to read a simple chart.
If you have to keep moving the goalposts, you have a shit opinion. The significant fights in Naruto look way better than the significant fights in HxH2011. There are far more significant fights in Naruto.
>don't compare some shit made by Pierrot to Chadhouse
Pierrot today is far better than Madhouse today. A decade ago, Madhouse was better, but they are much worse now. Pierrot is not a bad studio and they did a good job with Naruto, and as good job with Bleach as Bleach deserved.
When are we going to get a filter for this Yea Forums meme?
My point was that you are trying to use an image to prove that your shitty studio is better, when all it shows is that they have higher sales volume. I'm assuming your argument is that makes them better, but we can cite many examples that will disprove this. The Big Mac is the best-selling burger in the world, is it the best? The film Avatar is the highest grossing film, is it the best? I doubt you'd find many people who think so.
>Chadhouse
The most overrated studio in existence. Off the top of my head I can think only of OPM, Redline, Hellsing and Casshern Sins that had truly great direction. I'm sure you can cherrypick few more, but their huge catalog is filled to the brim with mediocrity. And that's digging in history. In the recent years they are worse than DEEN.
You are the one moving the goalpost and picking up selective points to further your weak points.
First of all, I never said that HxH has the greatest animation ever. I said it has the most consistent animation in any long running shounen. So if yo want to compare some other shounen to the consistency that HxH has put out, you've to take all of it. Not just the good parts. Therefore, if we take all of Naruto and compare it to all of HxH, its obvious that HxH is more consistent.
The same thing applies to Madhouse. The history of that studio and its curriculae its far more impressive than the shit Pierrot has made.
Satoshi Kon's stuff, Yuasa's stuff, Magnetic Rose, Neo-Tokyo, Metropolis, Texhnolyze, Ace o Nera, just to name a few off the top of MY head. Educate yourself retard.
>OPM

You fucking gamma males are worse than termites
Don’t tell me you haven’t seen Jubei-chan, user.
What's embarrassing, you pretentious fucktard? OPM is shit, but the direction and production values were top tier.
That chart is not about sales, if you did a reverse image search, you'd have come up with the source. But you're too much of a newfag to do that. It's a survey made by a Japanese blog about anime studios.

Can everybody in here please shut up and post/rate 3x3?
The original argument was about animation consistency and you have to take into account everything the show has produced not only the good parts. That's why HxH has more production value than Naruto.
Most of these don't have great visual direction. CCS and Monster are both good shows, but neither one is really helping your case. Vomiting out a big list like this means very little if you don't take the time to think about what you're doing.
Nice a e s t h e t i c s
I accept your concession, Narutard.
I don't like Naruto, that was some other guy.

I don't know what the chart means, but I agree with it.
The filler episodes in 99 looked better than that fight
Hunterfags keep invading because they can't stick to their own containment threads
At least the DBS spics keep to themselves
Shut up you racist bitch, Hunterfags have the same right to post in these threads
mine
forgive the shit tatse
Well, what do you want? Miyazaki level of animation? This was a weekly series that went on for 4 years with a limited budget. Stop being a contrarian and accept the fact that HxH has the most consistent level of animation of any long running show.
>Chadhouse can't be beaten.
I would've agreed with this statement a decade ago. Nowadays I don't even watch their shows. There are probably a dozen or so studios doing better work than them.
>Hunterfags keep invading because they can't stick to their own containment threads
Actually, if you guys stopped attacking people for including HxH in their 3x3, I'm sure the "Hunterfags" wouldn't be much of a problem.
Yes, they do overreact, but so do you.
>level of animation?
I didn't mention animation at all. Are you responding to the wrong person?
>another still shot of an uninteresting face with cross-hatching
Like clockwork.
>attacking people
Never happened in this thread.
I should list every anime I give a 10/10 at some point.
Sure it did. Not anything that justifies this kind of escalation, but if you say stuff like
>unless you think close ups of unanimated faces with ugly cross-hatching is "artistic merit."
( )
Both sides should just calm down and look at what they're doing to this thread.
I agree, they fell off in 2011-2012 because a lot of their key animators left and then Satoshi died. But still, we have to recognize the merit in what they have done because Madhouse has produced absolute classics.
Felt like rating this meme. It's actually entry-level-pretentious, if anything.

>I should list every anime I give a 10/10 at some point.
No, you really shouldn't. Your 6x6 is too much already, you seem far too quick to give an anime a 10/10 ... and we really don't need to see a 15x15 or something.
Why do you enjoy being a contrarian so much? My argument is that HxH has the most consistent level of animation of any long running show. Sometimes it peaks and reaches high quality, like in the Netero vs Meruem or in Gon's rage episodes.
That guy literally asked for which shows on his grid someone didn't like. So why ask if he's just going to chimp out and scream "YOU'RE WRONG." That's his fault. Stop defending this childishness. Plenty of shows have been criticized here, and no one else does this shit. Grow the fuck up.
I never mentioned anything about your crummy show's animation. I only said this Learn to read, you fucking idiot.
>and we really don't need to see a 15x15 or something.
A 13x13 should contain most of them.
Mate, any list that claims Death Note is a 10/10 is already going to be disregarded by anyone who isn't 14, so why bother?
There's more than meets the ocular organs in the frontal skull side! Also I don't care if you disregard me, I'll do things regardless!

I'm the one telling both sides to calm down and stop derailing the thread. I don't see how I'm being "sensitive" here, other than not wanting you to shit up these threads.

Anyone interested in salvaging this thread by posting an actual 3x3?
You're not going to be saving any threads with this.

The 2006 talent leak was the beginning of the end but I think they could officially be declared dead after 2010.
Might as well since I just made mine yesterday.

>Would not chill with you unless you were a woman

>maybe I'm wrong but you seem fairly new to anime
I've been watching anime shit since 2014, it just happens that most of my favourite shows have come from a specific time.
>There's more to anime than CGDCT shows
it's true I prefer female protagonists, however, I do like the show I watch to have some plot. No to bash on stuff like k-on, but if all the shows I watched were like that I would get bored.
nice 3x3
2014 is fairly new.
well, either way, you look at it, its still 6 years of my life dedicated to watching shit I can't actively talk about with anyone, except on the internet.
I started in 2008, and I can tell you it's all downhill. You'll only become interested in increasingly obscure things and soon not even people online will want to talk to you about them.
I know this to be the truth, but there's nothing I can really do about that now. I would make friends to talk about anime with but it's pretty hard just make normal friends too.

Why would it matter that he's "new"? I have seen more anime in the past 3 months than most of Yea Forums will ever watch in their entire lives. If you can dedicate only a couple of hours for anime each day, you'll easily have seen everything relevant to your interests within a couple of years.
>If you can dedicate only a couple of hours for anime each day
If you do this past 20, that's really sad. There are more important things you have to worry about.
You're projecting. Not everyone is stuck in some shitty dead end job with no time for hobbies.
Enlighten me my little American corporate drone. I started watching anime at the age of 27. What should I have been doing at that age?
What's even sadder is belittling people for something as innocuous as watching anime.

I've actually been here since 1616
I would like to see it too.
It'd be great to have a 3x3 thread where everyones posts his actual favourites instead of the pretentious shit that 80% of the people posted here.
I don't begrudge any of the people in this thread posting "kino" 3x3s but I think it would be interesting to see everyone's 100% honest favourites. Sadly that's probably impossible since if you've interacted with a community that revolves around the media you're making a mosaic for to enough of an extent your taste has probably at multiple points been influenced, consciously and unconsciously.
Well, some people are pretentious, user ...
I don't see why anyone would lie on an anonymous board where there's no real incentive to lie. That's why I'm totally honest, despite some people probably thinking otherwise.
What do you expect. It's mostly the same posters every thread who come here to circlejerk their """patrician""" anime. The image in sums up every 3x3 thread. It's pathetic.
The incentive is that the lies are attached to all future posts containing or pertaining to your 3x3. By posting the same image over and over in multiple threads you essentially cultivate a recognizable persona for yourself.
So just a more elaborate form of avatarfagging. Maybe they should consider moving to a website with actual nicknames, where they'll fit in with other "recognizable personas". Ideally one with upvotes too.
7/8
>HnK
Good taste.
But there're shows which are objectively inferior to other shows in terms of artistic merits and visuals/animation bases alone. The thing is though, everyone has these shows that relate to them in a special way, be it because of nostalgia or other reasons, but there's a high possibility other anons don't have those same experiences so they rate these shows on a complete different foundation. I think this is one of the few reasons why people are "afraid" of posting their real favourites.
I dunno, there's only a couple grids in this thread I would consider posturing and they're pretty easy to spot. Otherwise I like to give the benefit of the doubt and assume everyone is being honest.
>everyone has these shows that relate to them in a special way
Actually, it'd be kinda nice to hear from people how they do personally relate to their picks. Why they picked them over other things. But, of course, most people don't really want to open up that much.
i've probably watched like 50 shows and thought about them too much.
I'm just kinda here to be irritating in a way that only would have been relevant in 2016
I dunno this chart looks alright but some of y'alls is really nice so thanks

This is really pretty and i appreciate it

The first one was me replying to myself fuck i'm bad at this
>all this love for houseki no kuni
It's great stuff. The manga is fun too but I'm sticking with the official translation and the waiting is suffering. I hope it ends soon so that I could catch up.
Personally I feel that if you don't have a strong emotional connection to something it shouldn't be considered one of your favourites, even if it is critically good.
If you have to have an emotional connection to a tv show to like it, you're an extremely shallow person
>If you have to have an emotional connection to a tv show to like it
Having an "emotional connection to something" is the exact definition of what "liking something" means, user. You can't like something non-emotionally, just like you can't hate something non-emotionally.
This has to be bait, right? There's no way someone could actually think this...
I never said I needed to have an emotional connection to something to like it. I've enjoyed hundreds of shows that I didn't feel particularly emotionally connected to. My point is that in order for something to transcend that and make it onto my favourites list it needs to not only be good but also resonate with me in some way.

The manga?
I have never seen a show or movie that "emotionally resonated" with me. There are a couple books that changed my life. Shows and movies are entertainment and cannot be profound or emotionally significant unless you have a tiny hamster brain.
Speak for yourself, sociopath.
>if you're not a basic bitch you're a sociopath
do you enjoy anime
ok nvm
Keep posting. I'm enjoying every minute of this.
We're not circus animals here for your entertainment
that's how much I like it, but I've also seen the original web animations
>Shows and movies are entertainment and cannot be profound or emotionally significant unless you have a tiny hamster brain.
I can't believe there are real human people who think like this.
now this is some shit tastes
It's not your fault you're a retard, but you should still stop being retarded
What the fuck is the point of entertainment if not for emotional resonance?
To be entertaining, you fucking sperg

SUP. I haven't started Cutie Honey F yet. But I might be more apt to give Urutsukidoji or DNA a try first. I still want to watch some of the 80's Gundam series and movies before I get to Victory Gundam, unless you think that's unnecessary, thus far I've only watched 0079. Honestly not interested in HxH. I will get to finishing sailor moon eventually. I found Sirius to be extremely disappointing.

Finally updated mine after a while.
Entertainment IS emotional resonance, idiot. Why the fuck would you care about a work if you're not emotionally invested in the characters, story, or its meta?
Why are you obsessed with fictional characters? If you're emotionally invested, that means you care about the characters and want the best for them. That's extremely pathetic. I don't care what specifically happens in what I watch, I only care that it's interesting and entertaining to watch. I'm not emotionally invested in the characters because they're characters, not people. You're probably gay if you care deeply for fictional characters.
You sound like an unpleasant person.
8/10
You're gay for anime. I hope you die from anime AIDS.
I hope one day you realise how stupid you sound right now. You clearly just don't understand what people mean when they talk about emotional resonance. Being interested and entertained is emotional investment.
there are people who like math so I don't know but clearly emotional investment is not required
What? What does math have to do with anything?
Stop arguing with that child. You won't get anywhere.
Nope. If they meant being entertained they'd just fucking say it. You limp dicks have shoved your heads so far up your asses and think you're special for being emotionally invested in fictional anime characters.
You're so fucking retarded you don't even understand when anons make an obvious point. People are entertained by doing math, and there's no emotional investment in math. In the same way, people are entertained by watching entertainment without being emotionally invested. It's idiotic to be emotionally invested in a tv show or a movie.
For some people emotional attachment/investment is synonymous with entertainment, those people are usually more empathetic. For some people emotional attachment/investment is not necessary for enjoyment. Just goes to show that there are different kinds of people out there. You aren't any more correct than the user you are arguing with because like his opinion, yours is just as subjective.
>Nope. If they meant being entertained they'd just fucking say it.
There's more ways to emotionally resonate with a work than to just be entertained, and being entertained is one of them.
The emotional investment comes from the part of the person doing math. The person probably enjoys the feeling of accomplish from solving a complex equation or something. That feeling IS emotional investment.
Again, you clearly don't understand what emotional investment even means. No one is obsessed with fictional characters, and there's other ways to be emotionally invested that have nothing to do with the characters. No one thinks they're special for being emotionally invested because EVERYONE is emotionally invested in the things they like, including you.
>EVERYONE is emotionally invested in the things they like
Did you also say this
>I feel that if you don't have a strong emotional connection to something it shouldn't be considered one of your favourites
>strong emotional connection
So liking something or enjoying something isn't enough, which is pretentious as fuck
>That feeling IS emotional investment.
No it's not, otherwise you'd call it what it is instead of using sodomite phrases that stink of AIDS
>yamato
>captain harlock
>that third one I don't know
you really like that guy's stuff, don't you?
>Did you also say this
I did not, but what that user said doesn't contradict what I said. If you're more entertained or interested in a show than another, then you have a stronger emotional connection to it, since you care about it more. If it entertains you and interests you a whole lot, then that would be a strong emotional connection. AGAIN, there are other ways to be emotionally invested in a show than being entertained or interested, but being entertained or interested IS emotional investment. It IS "enough" to form "a strong emotional connection", but others can like shows in different ways.
>No it's not, otherwise you'd call it what it is instead of using sodomite phrases that stink of AIDS
No one says they're "emotionally invested" in math, because saying that sounds dumb. "Emotional investment" and "emotional resonance" is an umbrella term that covers a variety of emotions that one can elicit from experiencing a work, including (but not limited to) entertainment, and in the case for the math example, accomplishment.
You're literally arguing against nothing and no one because you inexplicably decided to get super fucking triggered about a random phrase, and ascribed these intentions of pretentiousness to it that don't exist.

There are quite a few people who'd respond to this sort of questionning, albeit I am not sure what it is you're after. To most people, a list of favourites is merely a list of anime that they can revisit indefinitely while retaining the ability to gain enjoyment from doing so. Also: I am not sure if you'll get a satisfactory response to why someone picked something over something else. Once you've consumed a lot of media, it becomes progressively harder to narrow down what a favourite actually is. So something being on a grid doesn't necessarily mean that the individual picked A over B because of some sophisticated reason, but merely because there was a limited amount of spots and they had to roll the dice. Hence why you see people change their grids every so often. I'd also argue that most people don't even analyze works sufficiently enough to explain why they like them.
Sometimes I get the feeling that this is a genuine response some Americans might give you. Especially the Twitterbit.
bump. Respond to me nigger. Have you realised how much of a retard you are yet?

Again, your head is so far up your ass that you don't even see your own lies. If you're emotionally invested, you have an interest in what happens and will be emotionally affected by whatever happens in the story and to the characters. This is gay. You can find a story interesting without being emotionally invested in it. Hansel and Gretel is very interesting, but nobody has emotional investment in it except for children. Your level of thinking is literally that of a child.
>If it entertains you and interests you a whole lot, then that would be a strong emotional connection
Reading about the holocaust is entertaining and interesting, but I have no emotional investment in it whatsoever. You pretentious twats are very stupid.
Not him, but you sound extremely insecure. Where did the bad people touch you?
>If you're emotionally invested, you have an interest in what happens and will be emotionally affected by whatever happens in the story and to the characters.
Nigger, how many fucking times do I have to tell you that your definition of emotional investment is fucking wrong and NO ONE adheres to it. For fuck's sake, how many times do I have to say it until you get it through your thick fucking skull that you're getting mad at NO ONE and you're arguing against ideas that NO ONE believes.
>Reading about the holocaust is entertaining and interesting, but I have no emotional investment in it whatsoever.
Yes you do, because being entertained and interested falls under the umbrella of being emotionally invested.
>Sadly that's probably impossible since if you've interacted with a community that revolves around the media you're making a mosaic for to enough of an extent your taste has probably at multiple points been influenced, consciously and unconsciously.
Did it ever occur to you that these threads are rec threads in disguise? Meaning that anyone who doesn't rate every single grid /9 can find something new to watch while browsing them? Happens to me all the time. Despite rating the vast majority of grids /9 , I sometimes see a grid of shorts that are unknown to me and immediately download them as a result. So it's less about having impact on your taste, but rather about discovering things you might like of which you didn't even know they existed beforehand. They are entirely different things.
>being entertained and interested falls under the umbrella of being emotionally invested
Being emotionally invested would be crying at all of the first hand accounts. You have no idea what words mean and you're a very stupid person. And probably depressed. Go back to facebook where you belong.
>Being emotionally invested would be crying at all of the first hand accounts.
Nobody thinks this but you. That's not what emotionally invested means and it has never meant that. I don't understand why you are so determined to insist this.
It has always meant that, you're just a faggot that doesn't want to admit that he's wrong about the words he's using. Type into your search engine "emotional investment definition" and then reply to me with some bullshit excuse because you're afraid of the truth.
I bet you like traps.
Emotional investment or emotional resonance in art literally just means to evoke any emotion from the readers with the work. This would include being entertained or interested, since both of those stem from the human emotions of enjoyment and curiosity. It doesn't mean believing that anime characters are real and caring about them as much as real people. Nobody thinks this but you. Again, I don't understand why you are so determined to keep insisting this wrong definition.
>use my pretentious art definition instead of what the words actually mean
You probably think Evangelion is a masterpiece
>EIGHT (8) HOURS LATER
GIVE IT A REST AUTISTS
It's absolutely critical that they get to the bottom of this.
Why are you so determined to insist a wrong definition.
Certainly an upgrade to the Retard X Retard posters. Albeit I am not sure what this one user is even trying to say. When I google "emotional investment definition" I get exactly what he claims one wouldn't get.
>When I google "emotional investment definition" I get exactly what he claims one wouldn't get.
Which user are you referring to?
It is 100% one of the HxH posters, because he always uses that reaction image.
This one .
>Emotional investment means you have emotionally bonded with someone (or something). They come as a point of attachment, a feeling of connectedness, liking, and even those that give us fond memories. To some extent, those emotionally involved in people and things have placed heavy sentimental values toward them.
No clue what Google gives him an a result, but I have a hard time seeing where it supposedly states
>emotional investment = shedding tears
Although I definitely do think that sheeding tears over something tends to be a more genuine form of liking something than pretending to read an intriguing thread.
Yeah, he's clearly not very smart.
>I have a hard time seeing where it supposedly states
>emotional investment = shedding tears
Come on user, it's right there
>you have emotionally bonded with someone (or something)
>a feeling of connectedness
This is so obvious that it's embarrassing you have any problems understanding it
The Merriam-Webster you used has this as the example
>She is deeply invested in this project and wants it to succeed.
This is not at all comparable to what someone feels when they watch a cool show, and the art fag is full of shit
You can be wrong about how smart other people are as much as you want, it's never going to change the fact that you have the mental capacity of a child
You realize that it lists "liking" as a simple requirement, too, right? I am not gonna get involve in this but you're really not doing yourself any favors by being this selective about what you read. I get the feeling that we've met before. You seem to be fond of selectively sweeping things under the rug.
>Come on user, it's right there
>>you have emotionally bonded with someone (or something)
>>a feeling of connectedness
This has nothing to do with shedding tears, or caring about anime characters as if they are real people.
>This is not at all comparable to what someone feels when they watch a cool show,
Of course its not, the example is for a personal project, not someone watching a show, you fucking idiot.
But if you said you were "invested in a show", that would be completely synonymous with being "interested in a show".
I'll give you some time to realise that what you said is stupid.
>where does it imply emotional connection
>"here it is, user"
>GAH WHY ARE YOU SWEEPING THINGS UNDER THE RUG
>This has nothing to do with shedding tears
You're either extremely stupid, or you're lying
It has everything to do with crying over a movie
>the example is for a personal project, not someone watching a show, you fucking idiot
You should be ashamed of yourself for completely failing to understand the concept and contradicting yourself, the example is exactly what being invested in something is and if you reject that, you're rejecting the definition
You're an idiot
>if you said you were "invested in a show", that would be completely synonymous with being "interested in a show"
No it wouldn't, there's a gradation for being interested in a show, ranging from being interested in the premise without watching it at all, to being interested in what is happening in the show, to being interested in what concepts are displayed in the show
When you get to being invested in a show, that has a different meaning because that presupposes several grades of interest
The amount of butthurt and rage HxH's popularity on this board causes is amazing.
>GAH WHY ARE YOU SWEEPING THINGS UNDER THE RUG
He means that the definition he gave listed "liking" as a form of emotional connection. You know, such as liking a show, being entertained or interested in it. But you didn't acknowledge that part at all.
>It has everything to do with crying over a movie
A feeling of connectedness, or emotionally bonding with someone (or something) does not imply crying at all.
>the example is exactly what being invested in something is and if you reject that, you're rejecting the definition
An example used in a definition isn't the only context a word can be used in.
>No it wouldn't, there's a gradation for being interested in a show, ranging from being interested in the premise without watching it at all, to being interested in what is happening in the show, to being interested in what concepts are displayed in the show. When you get to being invested in a show, that has a different meaning because that presupposes several grades of interest
So you're saying I'm right? Being invested just means you're VERY interested in a show.
I will remind you
>where does it imply emotional connection
>"here it is, user"
>GAH WHY ARE YOU SWEEPING THINGS UNDER THE RUG
Sounds like you have the autism
>A feeling of connectedness...does not imply crying at all
That's extremely autistic and sociopathic of you, user
>An example used in a definition isn't the only context a word can be used in
This is what tells me that you're genuinely not a smart person and you are having difficulty with this
If you can't see why the example is relevant, you're a fucking moron
>Being invested just means you're VERY interested in a show
Being invested presupposes interest, but interest does not mean investment
This is more basic than those instagram whores you pay each month, and you keep dodging the point and making excuses to comfort yourself even though you're struggling with this
They call us the chads of Yea Forums for a reason.
Still not acknowledging the "liking" part of the definition, I see.
>>A feeling of connectedness...does not imply crying at all
>That's extremely autistic and sociopathic of you, user
In what universe does connectedness = crying? Is English your second language? What the fuck are you even saying at this point? Just because you feel connected to something doesn't mean it makes you cry.
>If you can't see why the example is relevant, you're a fucking moron
The example used in the definition is for a personal project. We are using it for anime shows. Completely different contexts.
>Being invested presupposes interest, but interest does not mean investment
Doesn't contradict what I said.
Nice DBS meme, spic. Hunter mumblers can't even come up with their own shitty memes to reply to themselves with.
>Still not acknowledging the "liking" part of the definition, I see
Reply again if you need the adults to spell it out for you
>Just because you feel connected to something doesn't mean it makes you cry.
Fucking moron
>Completely different contexts.
ABSOLUTE fucking moron
>Doesn't contradict what I said
You've moved the goalposts so far back that you're celebrating when you say something that's almost correct
You should talk to your parents and have them test you for autism
>>Just because you feel connected to something doesn't mean it makes you cry.
>Fucking moron
No correlation. Connection doesn't mean crying.
>>Completely different contexts.
>ABSOLUTE fucking moron
You're claiming that the example is the only meaning of what being invested in something is, when its really only one narrow context.
>>Doesn't contradict what I said
>You've moved the goalposts so far back that you're celebrating when you say something that's almost correct
No I haven't. You're acting like there's a massive difference between saying you're "interested" or "invested" in a show, when they're ostensibly the same thing and you're just pedantic.
You already find this annoying? Just you wait when it's off hiatus.
are those the only 4 you like?

That sounds incredibly strange when you say it like that. Urotsukidouji is definitely not very much like the other two. But, hey, it's that my 3x3 inspires you to go in all directions. (And in some way, it's not that much unlike the other anime.)
>I still want to watch some of the 80's Gundam series and movies before I get to Victory Gundam, unless you think that's unnecessary
I don't think it's "necessary", but I'd say it's worth it anyway.

That's okay. Not everyone has to share my taste. I can see why some people were expecting something way different from it - it does change narrative style and direction midway, which was fine to me. But if you got hooked by the action early on and want more of that, you are naturally going to be disappointed.
>are those the only 4 you like?
No. He's actually gone through at least a dozen things within the last few months, but never more than four at once ...
Don't ask, I don't get it either.

2 lazy to cut make 3x3. ill just give this one. just finished watching it. what you guys think?
Looks like moeshit.
oh user, you'll be mistaken by the time you're 1-6 episodes in
Don't mislead him, it's still mostly moeshit even if there's a bit more going on
And that's a good thing.
Nah, SoL shows like K-on and Tamayura are a good thing. Moeshit is cancer. See any GochiUsa thread for examples.
true though, but the atmosphere feels completely different to be honest
>That sounds incredibly strange when you say it like that.
Just because I have complete subs of the other two. I could have clarified more I guess. As i said before, I don't like the idea of being able to start F without being able to finish it completely. Are you aware of any high quality releases of Urutsukidoji btw? From what I know of it, it's supposed to look absolutely amazing but i can't find anything better than 480p releases. That's the only reason I have yet to watch it.
>But if you got hooked by the action early on and want more of that, you are naturally going to be disappointed.
You nailed it. I was going in for an action specatacle and was hoping it would deliver though and through yeah. I also didn't think Misha's fate was entirely necessary and disco Yev was, uh, something.
No, I like more than just those 4. If you point me to your grid I'll tell you which ones I like from it.
Not gonna respond? Alright I'm going to bed, peace.

Hey, long time no see. As promised, I did look them up. Sadly, none of them have a really compelling narrative, but some of them are "cute". That one art-collection was very artsy, but I don't think it counts as manga. Still, well made, and that counts for something.
Didn't particularly like that some other things were futanari. And that for some, the artsyle didn't live up to the cover illustration.
Rather difficult to give a proper rating for as a whole, I'm afraid. None I'd consider genuinely intellectually stimulating, but some where somewhat entertaining.
