JoJo

I think you just mean overrated.

Uh, Monogatari can be overrated by a lot of people, and I liked it.

TTGL is annoyingly popular to me though. I seethe when people start talking about how Kamina's death was the saddest thing since infant mortality.

i probably did mean Overrated
it takes me forever to come up with an ITT
and when i do, i keep messing up with my wording

Yeah, robot show deaths always get that reaction.

Plus, it's not hard to be worse than infant mortality. That shit's great.

I was meaning the death of your...Never mind.

Yes, I seethe when as well.

...With anger.

gurren lagann

Clannad
Death Note
K-On
and I never liked either one

Neon Genesis Hipstershit

I like it, but just like Katawa Shoujo, it's annoyingly predictable what someone will say.

Incredibly popular

Also for hipsters

Hwut

The logic sounds flawed, but the point is that the talk is always about how it's 2deep, that it's "artistic", and how "It's not like the other anime you've seen" similar to the way hipsters speak about stuff, and the consistency is like KS and feels.

Slow reply because real life shit.

You're logic does sound flawed. I don't think real fans of it call it 2 deep. I certainly don't. I think hipsters are more trying to be Superior to everyone by liking less known things. Not speaking about anything in a specific way.

I mean Evangelion is really popular and it's a multi-billion dollar franchise. It has a ton of merchandise and fan art and it is even popular enough to have a dedicated shop just for it in Tokyo and it's own section in a theme park.

It's probably more mainstream than anything.

I don't know of many anime which have their own shoe line.

I have.. less than positive feelings for the country, so I honestly would've never known NGE's standing there. In my little corner of the world, that's just how things are.

I never thought these things about the real fans, and the same can be said of anything other series in this thread, as a real fan would be well aware of how a series is, positives and faults and wouldn't use the words in speech that cause a series to become annoying (like katawa shoujo and "oh god the feels")

And like you said, it's very mainstream, but it is also flooded with people who have the delusion that it's less known, and that they become more hipsterlike from enjoying it. Hell, no fanbase is truly perfect.

It's a cult.

NGE is for hipsters now?

refer to my above comment.

Katawa Shoujo if it counts.

Evangelion.

Personally, I find the hype about JoJo recently annoying - but maybe that's just because I don't watch it myself.

But...but...it´s JoJo. Nobody can hate one JoJo:(

well, you´ll change opinions, once you watched it!

Bitch, you know nothing.

apparently not, but I'll wait for it all to release, so I can watch it in one go.

Why not just watch all of Part one since everyone else is in Part two?

Death Note. Especially after I read Akumetsu and found Akumetsu to essentially be Death Note with a way better MC and plot. Actually...Akumetsu was pretty much better in every single way possible while still telling a very similar story but everyone still gets wet as a waterslide over Death Note.

"To ease the strain on her family, she secretly begins prostituting herself." - wat.
Still sounds interesting, so added to my PTR, thanks.

I find the popularity of K-On baffling. How the fuck did this shit get so popular?

it's cute, funny in its own way and great at getting my mind off things... i honestly don;t know why people hate on it so hard, you don't hear me complaining about naruto or one piece

^this

I like cute things.

K-on has cute girls.

It's not that difficult to guess why I like it.

you might as well asked why MLP got so popular

I do ask that question.

i figured the reason why people like K-On! or MLP is because it was probably a joke at first
then people just started to hop on to the band wagon

sure there are probably people out there who legibly likes them

it the same with Inferno Cop, people just hop onto the band wagon

fuck you inafernao copu is amazing

Is there a K-on! band wagon? I had no idea.

i dunno im just using it as an example since Azrael seem to think so

Weird. I just brought the first episode of the PSN and I liked it which why I brought the Blu-rays.

you can watch Animu on PSN?

i like that drawing, i have a thing for girls wearing winter clothing

Yeah. I buy allot of Anime episodes from the PSN video store. I brought the entire season of Martian Successor Nadesico on the PSN since I couldn't find any Australian region DVD's for it.

well das pretty cool

but i would rather buy the physical copy of an Animu

As do I, but when the supply isn't there. You have to just go for the alternates.

You could get a multi-regional DVD player. My friend had a $20 one that had no region coding at all so it works with everything.

The PlayStation 3 can play all regions. I just want to be able to lend it to my friends and have it work on their DVD players.

I see. As I know it, it's also a Blu-ray player and has many JRPG games. I'll have to get one.

Yeah, plus you get anime off the video store.

What's the pricing like? Standard sale price?

Between $1.50 - $3.00 AUD per episode depending on the show. I don't know the pricing for outside of Australia though.

I download the copy off the PSN and it plays on the PlayStation. It is locked to that PlayStation though.
You can backup the video files, then deactivate video content for that console however and transfer the files to a new console and reactivate with your profile which is simple enough.

So it's a similar system to iTunes I s'pose. I prefer to keep my possessions offline, call it paranoia but if PSN or iTunes ever shuts down, they'll take your stuff with them.

Sony is pretty good about making it's content available offline. They have gone so far as to declare that they won't allow companies make consumers be online to play single player games. Where the next Gen X-box will and allot of PC game developing companies are going to be doing that as well.

No not at all. if the PSN is shut down you can still watch your videos on that playstation. You don't need to be online for this to work.

Ah, that's good then. At any rate, PS3/PS4 just got bumped up my priorities.

I'm in Australia so it's K. Pricing's OK I guess but I do prefer hard copies.
Or free versions of the soft copies.

Madman does provide some free streaming on madman.com for some shows.
