Obligitory Animes Thread

[Reptile]

What mean you by sket dance ends? For a while, for the season, forever? The anime? And was there some announcement?

As for fillers, a little are fine but I'm starting to think it's not a bad idea at all for a show on the heels of its manga to just pull a bleach and say "well guys, we'll see ya later" I saw an episode of Fairy Tail with some jiggly butt dudes and I was like "yuuuuuuuup... FILLER TIME!". Not only is it a dignified option, there's also a lot of pressure taken off of your manga staff.

Well for Sket Dance, they said so in the last episode.

For fillers, for me they're always terrible. And I'd much rather have a break and get the next season started later than stupid shit that ruins the Anime.

No it wasn't, it was NEVER good. The entire first arc was mediocre, the animation specifically was awful because they wasted their budget on the movies. The pacing was bad, the show was bad without filler and than the filler continued to ruin it.
The 3 seasons of filler at the end of Naruto was better, hell still is IMO, than most of not ALL of Shippuuden . And ya that filler isn't that great.

Remember that awful Garra vs Deidara fight? It was AWFUL, it became a meme for a while to use for bad animation. And that style of animation was over half the show for a 100 or so episodes.

AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL

The only objective criticism you said was that the animation was bad. Which I can agree with. But you didn't really objectively explain why it's bad.

For example...Why I quit fairy tale the manga. Spoilers: They kept introducing villains, hyping them up to be really strong but in the end defeating them because of some supposed power of emotion. I quit the damn manga when I realized it was going no where special. The entire guild got attacked by a spell. The whole world assumed them dead for years characters that knew them aged, but then they reappear exactly the same...frozen in time I guess. I thought the writers could have really done something unique there....but they played it safe. So after that anticipation I wasn't about to continue with the same cycle again. Nothing special to see there. Also none of the characters had any real character development that was interesting enough to keep me interested.

And from what i just read, there's nothing bad there because it's a SHOUNEN ANIME and almost all of them are really simple. Most play it safe too, safer than Fairy Tail. Hell it felt like i read every mainstream anime to date in that description.

Yet Fairy Tail is godlike, for what it is. To me it sounds like you're expecting a deeper thought provoking story from a show like this and that's where you're wrong.

Not to mention it was totally obvious that when the island disappeared they were gonna return the same, what else was gonna happen? It's FAIRY TAIL ISLAND, home of miracles and uber magic badassery with a guardian watching over them. Dang that sure doesn't sound like a safe house to me.

For SHITRUTO GAYPUUDAN, first off this is ANIME only, because i only talk about anime because i don't care about manga at all. ANIME, it's ANIMATION. If and when the animation and/or art work is sub par, or like Naruto here, TOTAL ASS than your show is bad. No ifs/ands/or buts about it. It's more so when you have a major god damn franchise like Naruto, no excuses. This was far actual story plots too. I can understand skimping down on a few filler eps or maybe an episode with mostly talking, but nooooooooooooooooo Naruto does it well over half the show.

And for the rest of it i'm not going to keep saying why Gayruto Poopuudan is bad. I've been saying it since 2007 on 30 different forums. If you want to know fucking google ANIMEFREAK6969, OR ANIMEFREAK OR IWATCH2MUCHANIME OR IW2MA and find it yourself.

Whether I think fairytale(manga or anime) is bad is besides the point. I didn't say it was bad. I pointed out things I didn't like about it. After following several shounen anime/manga, I saw no reason to invest into another long winded story with the exactly the same out dated formula. Especially when One Piece a much superior show is still running strong. I got far into the story but it wasn't going any where unique, it didn't stand out, so I dumped it. It's just another victim of Japans habit of regurgitating the same tired ass material.

I have never read the naruto manga. I started reading fairy tale before it aired as a show so I never followed the anime. Regardless, your only objective criticism for the show even in this recent post, is that the animation was poor.
Now I am not saying Naruto is better than Fairy tale, but I haven't actually heard any real criticism of why you think it's bad.

It's Fairy Tail man. And clichés are badass. I like it a lot. It's all opinion here. I'm aware the anime ain't that good at all, but I still follow it cause I'm a Fairy Tail fan. But the manga is very good. It's a true blue shounen. What's there not to like?
Also you say that Fairy Tail characters aren't interesting? Seriously?
