| #187 - Your waifu is **** , you favorite anime is **** , … [+] (6 new replies) | 10/06/2015 on true story | -1 |
| There is no such thing as good, only what you think is good. By saying its good i show that i think its good, otherwise im called argueing aesthetics, which is a waste of bandwidth. But this also means it cant not be good because bad is also an aesthetic description. Thus i say the anime is good because i was able to stand watching the whole thing which i cant do with almost any anime thus proving to me that is is good in my reality, and you said no, meaning you have lived a life that has biased you against it for some reason, be that as it may you now probably apply one or more adjectives that stand for less than good to some degree in your verbal lexicon, which i can put the same pointless argument of "well you only think thats what its like" up against. Also, what if i made the universe? Wouldn't that mean i can say whether something is good or not, and even if im not, what if the being that did likes ngnl? Seems like you're making more assumptions than me just not clarifying that i think somethings good even though im saying something that is no doubt my thought. This is some homeschooling mom of a 1st grader level "you made jimmy sad and i need a bullshit way to make him feel better" bullshit. TL;DR: There is no such thing as good, so of course i only think its good. Perception isnt reality. Except, what you usually do when you use the term 'good' on something, is compare and evaluate it. That's how you know a 'good' show from a bad. For example, we can all agree that cigarettes aren't 'good' for you based on facts. They've got chemicals that fuck you up. It's the same with shows. No one wants to watch 12 episodes of shit, and along the spectrum comes a whole bound of mid-tier shows that seem 'good'. So what I do, is I take into account its popularity, evaluate the story, art, pacing, budget, etc, before I judge it. Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not an asshole. I'm not going to say "your opinion is wrong, you shouldn't watch x and y because it's shit". No, all I'm saying, is that when addressing your opinion, use a set up that makes it clear it's your opinion. "I think..." "To me..." "Personally..." That's fine by me. But the truth remains that NGNL is another sub-par adaptation of a light novel that has writing that is 'okay'. Japanese writers, animators, voice actors love love LOVE their clichés. Because it sells. And that's fine an'- dandy, but if you stuff yourself full of 'good' apples, they eventually come 'okay' compared to something like a chocolate flavoured apple. I'm trying to use an example that doesn't make it seem like a strawnman argument - I'm not trying to dodge your point. Attack on Titan, for example, >>to me<< is a bad show. I didn't like it. It wasn't my thing. But I can, from a criticizing standpoint, clearly say it's a good show. It provides a somewhat unique idea that became popular and allowed the anime community to bring in a n increased range of varied people, it could be watched by any and all sorts of teens - it had good dubs, with good quality streaming, and the company that made it monopolised well - lots of merchandise, the manga sold a bunch of copies, and it overall sits well into anime as a means of what 'good' anime should look like. You're reading this and thinking "well you're just picky with your words". Well yeah, I am. Critics are as pointless as art, it only matters to those who feel it matters, but i do agree with a lot of what you say, i still believe that everything anyone ever says regarding things of this nature is an opinion, therefore it doesnt need my clarification when i state an opinion. Its like you said; in factual cases this argument doesnt hold, but this isnt a factual field. writers like tropes because they like tropes, just like a lot of other people, while i do see it as lazy from a writing perspective, and boring from a viewer's perspective nobody can deny the fact that people like tropes as they make for a familiar and easy to follow story. the reason i think that ngnl is good is because it was the only anime to come out in the year it did that i watched all the way through, because nobody writes action well, In Japan or America, which is what i look for though i rarely search for anime . everything anyone has sent me has had no justified sense of danger and/or excitement with a cast that isnt maddening for the run of the show, has a setting i like, and has a plot that evolves in a manner i feel proper. I say pretty good because there are seven more adjectives to use before we start discussing my favorite anime. My favorite genre in thought would be mecha if there weren't only three stories for it, and they all take place in space. i didnt watch anime until about four or five years ago, and only do so now because of how much i had to define what i like so that i may filter the garbage that is released constantly. Also, if i wanted to read V-novels for entertainment i would read an actual book instead. Anime should be born from inspiration and aspiration, not greed and fan pandering. Also, you can argue aesthetics, you just do it more like this and less like "no". the fanservice what bad in ngnl meh , but the story had several beats that made me want to know the path the characters were taking and where it would lead ok . the dialogue was written well in enough parts that it gave a similar sense to death notes thinking action, and while it didnt do it as well, it didnt fail by over doing it in my eyes alright , im bad with the nitty gritty cultural stuff so i wouldnt know. the art style poped, and made me think of skyrim enbs, which i was playing at the time watchable , and i spent a good portion of my life as a neet so i resonated with the characters pretty good. . If we got a second season cementing the characters, upping the stakes, and expanding on the lore more would have put it at good for me if it didnt fly off the handle. | ||

| The mountains man, you get high and just have to check them out. I kind of feel envious. My only trips have been bad trips and that was all hash from a dab. I only have slightly elevated mood from normal smoking. do you know what all kinds you have tried? cause it varies quite a bit between strains ....and i wouldn't suggest dabs, like, i mean i guess it works for some people and all, but i sure as shit dont trust them, plus its far easier to know where you`re at smoking it directly I remember the first twenty I'd ever bought was something my friends dealer called Blueberry. If that counts for anything. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the happiness as it takes away the depression but I've never gotten a high like people describe. Sedatives usually don't work, the same reason I don't take pain killers. A lot of soft core drugs in general are mild at best with me even in high doses. And I won't touch harder substances. What does help is surprisingly large doses of caffeine from pills, to coffee, to soda, but my favorite is caffeinated marshmallow. Which makes me wonder if you could lacy weed with it. | ||

| It's not always what's the safer option. Did you ever consider the kid WANTED to do this? Maybe give him his own sense of individuality instead of hovering over the disabled with "No, you can't do that, it's not safe." Fuck you, don't reproduce. Also, telling someone to not reproduce because of one sentence? You are clearly the sherlock holmes of the modern age with those deduction skills. Dude, its collapsing straight onto its head, its like saying "My kid likes self harming to the verge of death. But its for the olympics so its fine!" im all for individual choice, but this is how you give your child with severe brain damage more. At least put a helmet on him. #47 -
