Series that fail at knowing when to quit: Wan Piss, Boreserk, Naruturd, etc any long-running series basically.

The rest are pretty subjective

As much as it pains me to say this, I nominate shin mazinger to the "using music effectively" category. Those songs almost ruined the final fights for me.

>>55189178
I wouldn't say One Piece is a candidate. It has a set plan and destination, but it just takes a long time to get there. Naruto seems to be winding up as well.

Bleach is a better example than those two simply because it had the chance to finish but it just... didn't.

>Character Development
>Now changed to Music

I think badly done music is harder to suggest than series with flat characters.

>>55189240
If Part 2 has a section for pacing, OP may be a candidate along with Akagi.

KWTQ: Ah my Goddess
Music: K-ON, Macross Frontier, Kure-nai (Musical episode)
Filler: Inuyasha

>using music effectively

Now that I think bout it, /a/ never talks about "shitty" ost, just good ones. Yes, some crappy opening/ending song will be mentioned, but I haven´t yet seen someone criticize the whole music used in an anime.

>music

Lol that category's going to remain empty, even in shit shows people like the OSTs, like Noir's.

>>55189246
I'll add character development to the next chart, it just looked a bit weird having it right next to character design like that (...also, I kept confusing stuff when I was placing it initially because I'm fail-tastically sick).

>>55189227
It's pretty sad when a mecha-anime can't use music properly.

I'm thinking we switch Gundam SEED with SEED Destiny

>>55189295
haha, K-ON is perfect for that category

>Adapting source material
>Tsukihime not on the list
You wouldn't even have to put a picture.

You should narrow "Music" to OP/END, I bet you will get more imput that way

Kaiji S2 OP
Akikan OP
Line Barrels of Iron OP

>>55189400
But there is no Tsukihime anime.

This is just going to end up being a troll list unless the guy making it is completely impartial

>>55189412
Probably a good idea. So failing at OP/ED themes?

>>55189373
>It's pretty sad when a mecha-anime can't use music properly.
Don't get me wrong, the show is awesome, but the songs just didn't fit.
Here's an example (this isn't the worst example).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cX469Ftb-m4

>>55189443
Clannad After Story ED. Jesus Christ, I can't think of a more unfitting ED than Torch.

>>55189443

I dunno, it's too easy to find bad OP/EDs and they don't always represent the quality of the rest of the show

>>55189295
>Kure-nai (Musical episode)

But that was the only good episode in the whole series.

>>55189484
What if it wasn't just the music but the entire OP - like an opening with not just a terrible song, but the sequence is just a clusterfuck that makes no sense or completely misrepresents the series?

>>55189586

Well it's a better idea

I have one for "Using Music Effectively": First Squad. It was inspired by a music video, but the OVA had no music at all.

>>55189178
Tripfag that fails at not being an autistic faggot: You.

>>55189586
>An opening with clusterfuck sequence that makes no sense or completely misrepresents the series

99% of anime?

just put it as character development?

>>55189586
>is just a clusterfuck that makes no sense
Op's aren't supposed to make sense.

>renamed to "Respectful OP/ED"
>added Inuyasha to KWTQ (is it okay there, or should it go for filler, because honestly, if I had a dollar for every time Kagome threw a hissy fit and went home...)

For "Individual Character Design," how about Miyazaki movies in general? All lead females look and act the same, though it doesn't help that the theme is generally the same

>>55189713

If it's Respectable OP/ED, I want to nominate Deadman Wonderman

>>55189713
Hey, hey. InuYasha actually ended.

>>55189734
I denominate it, I love it.

Bleach goes into USING MUSIC EFFECTIVELY as well

Replace Umineko anime with Tsukihime anime. And Negima anime with Black Cat anime.

>>55189734
I forgot I downloaded the first couple episodes of that.

Wow... It's been a long time since I've seen such a mood whiplash between the OP and ED

Series that fail at being watched by anybody: Windy Tales.

Individual character design: Mushishi

>>55189802

Tsukihime had an anime?

Music? Any of the Bruce Faulconer on DBZZZEEE

>be 12, hear Lain End song
>"Holy crap is this shitty!"

>Hear it again years later
>mfw my tastes have evolved

>>55189820
But Windy Tales is pretty well known among sol / artsyfags.

>>55189825
I remember I had those exact same thoughts when I first watched it. The entire series focused entirely on scenery porn.

>>55189713
I 'll have to say Death Note for the respectable OP/ED.Obvious reason.

>>55189839
Let's be serious here.

>>55189881
It's forever cursed to be too slice of life for artfags and too artfaggy for slice of life fans. I'm pretty sure I've even seen obscure Kunio Kato shorts mentioned more than Windy Tales.

>>55189802
The Black Cat anime was pretty bad, but Negima's fail crosses spin-offs, alternates universes, movie adaptions, and multiple studios.

>>55189586
>completely misrepresents the series?
Magipoka? Too bad the OP is actually pretty good.

>>55189713

The second OP of Code Geass Season 1.

What's up with that awful female vocals and shitty guitar riff?

Updated slightly.

That Inuyasha picture before was fanart, but fuck it was hilarious to me for some reason.

Bleach belongs in the filler category aswell. And it also belongs in the Individual Character Designs and Originality category.

Even though I like the show, can I nominate Ika Musume S1 because the OP is SHINRYAKUSHINRYAKUSHINRYAKUSHINRYAKUSHINRYAKU and the ED probably took 12 minutes to make

I've noticed a lot of these are things that can describe 99% of anime let alone 4.

>>55190021
As much as I have no feelings whatsoever for Bleach, the fillers have generally been pretty watchable (compared to Naruto). Let's try not to double up though.

Originality - Infinite Stratos or A-Channel.

Come on, replace Haruhi with Naruto. Haruhi doesn't even compare.

>>55190072
IS or any other generic harem fail at originality

>>55190110
Spoken like someone who didn't watch E8 when it came out. Haruhi belongs there.

I nominate Madoka for respectable ending. I guess most people will agree with me, because that ending song was fucking awesome/

>>55190124
I know it's drawn out, but it's a few episodes compared to a few hundred.

>>55190155
E8 was the same episode for 8 weeks. Nothing compares to that.

>>55190153
This chart is for anime that FAIL at something

I have my own suggestion: OP for Mezzo.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SP3bi6gSS8

I can't believe I forgot how awful this felt. I can't find the ED, but if I'm right, it was just as bad.

>>55190153

You do know this is the "Series that fail at..." chart, right?

>>55190192
>E8 was the same episode for 8 weeks. Nothing compares to that

Try pointless flashback fillers about helping some fucker in a village that noone gives a shit about for half a year straight.

How can you even think this.

>>55190192
>FAIL at something
I thought he was just implying that Madoka is a horrible show so the ED should be horrible too.

Knowing when to quit: NGE manga and Berserk.. I'm sure you know why.

Adaptation: Bokurano. Definitely. And maybe Narutaru.

Individual character designs: Mayo Chiki - I love that series, but you got to admit those characters are even more flat than typical harem

>>55190225
>fucking awesome

>>55190213
I fucked up...

>Respectful OP/ED
Sora no Woto.

Nothing quite like ending on a dramatic or somewhat dark note when suddenly EYE JOU YOU JOU

Hero Tales fails hardcore at Originality.

>>55190221
Naruto's already in filler, it's shamed enough without having to get doubled up.

My god those fillers were bad. I barely watched them, but I remember some weird one where Ino had to pretend to be some fat princess and then Naruto peed on the royal lawn and got chased by her as he kept pissing golden showers everywhere... wow, putting it like that sounds like whoever wrote the episode was really bored.

>>55190309
The plot was a vehicle for the visuals. The innocence and brilliance of youthful perception. A love letter to our world and what is in it.

I have to disagree about Claymore having bad individual character design. You can distinguish them perfectly fine by their hairstyle, voice and symbol on their sword. Last one might be tricky but still.

Rather nominate series that use a different haircolor to distinguish the characters.

>>55190309
Musashi Playdoh is already listed as QUALITY on the Excels in chart. I don't think it can get any worst than being on that.

>>55190278
But Naruto deserves that kind of shame.

>>55190350
We talked about this last night, but I'm still not sold on removing it. For a series that has brilliant creativity with its monster designs and abilities, you think there'd be more uniqueness with its human characters.

If we fill up the entire thing and then find another good example I might remove it.

Shikabane Hime for using Music effectively.

The only soundtrack that Shikabane Hime had was the instrumental version of the OP and it was basically in every god damn episode.

>>55189975
I personally don't think 1 bad OP out of 5 is enough for that category. If it were 1 of 2 like Death Note, maybe.

>>55189991
What's wrong with Deadman Wonderland's opening? It's pretty awesome. Yeah, it doesn't match the dullness of the anime.

Are you really trying to shit all over this by turning it into a mytastes > yourtastes shitstorm? Even if you don't like heavier music, you should have the braincells or ear to recognize it's a pretty cool song.

Should every anime have lousy, unimaginative, uninspiring openings like Hanasaku Iroha? In fact, replace DW with Iroha. Nobody liked either of the openings.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBGg9yZKGxE

THIS FUCKING OP. I swear, there's nobody that could possibly have any objections to this.

>>55190684
Oh fuck, THAT'S why Hanasaku Iroha's OP seemed so familiar. At least that had interesting Shaft-style visuals going.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhBU1677q5Y

>>55190716

I vote for this. I get a headache just thinking about it

Haruhi really doesn't belong on that list.

>>55190760

It really doesn't. OP's just being a faggot again.

You think BLEACH is an example of going on for too long? Take a fucking look at king of nothing happens, Hajime no Ippo.

>>55190786
E8 wasn't completely the same episode over and over, there was slight changes.
I sat through it each week and I really didn't mind.

>>55190663
It didn't have so much to do with the songs, but the moods of them. It goes from being some edgy, dark OP and suddenly some ED that seems more like a normal drama. It's confusing.

But yeah, I guess it might not be the best example, but show me something better. The thing about these charts I do is listen to people's reasoning - give me a good enough reason to replace something and I'll consider it. For now, let's fill the whole thing up and then we can look at replacing with better examples.

>>55190663
>>55190716
>>55190738

I guess I'm the only one who grew to love Iroha's openings after initially being annoyed by them.

>kure-nai: musical episode

ARE YOU SERIOUS? that episode was fucking glorious, i was laughing my ass off. you've got shit taste, nigger.

>>55190815
And I still fucking love it. But agreed, manga takes too fucking long, anime is way better.

Still, if you're adding based on length, Kochikame and Detective Conan.

>>55190854
>>55190716 here. I got used to Iroha's OP too, but it was far from Denpa Onna where I actually began to like it. That high-pitched voice never fails to grate at least a little.

H&C's vocals are probably a bit worse, but how can you not like that crab hand at the end?

>>55190412
Keep character development, but move it to the second chart. Along with romance, continuity and the likes.

>>55190786
It's not like I'm the one who suggested it in the first place... give me something better to replace it then if you can think of something.

>>55190716
At least the OPs were pretty much representing what the series was about visually... I'm sure there's worse out there.

>>55190869
I don't read Kochikame, is it the kind of series that started out with a planned ending or is it more like newspaper strips in terms of continuity?

>That whole bottom row of failed adaptions

It's like all my collected agony over the past few years ;_;

This chart has my support
Until it does something I disagree with

>>55190869
Detective Conan could probably replace Haruhi... but I don't know enough about that other one.

>>55190859
Ideas for a new category "anime original ending":
>FMA movie
>Ao No Exorcist
>Soul Eater (you can remove that from the adaption chart and something worse instead)

>>55190910
Not the same guy, but Death Note sure as hell didn't know when to stop.

Yes Torch is definitely one of the worst ED songs. Not that the song itself was bad but it was a total mood killer.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSA-I6ZNXX4

>>55190957
Just the longest running manga in Shounen history...idiot.

Op how the fuck is there no category for animation? It's like the first thing you'd think of.

>>55189991
Nigga what is your problem with Mushishi? It's an episodic show, the throwaway characters you'll only see for one episode don't need to have amazing designs.

>>55190920
It's a gag manga, so... Yeah, things don't really go anywhere.

>>55190970
That's true, but then we wouldn't have had the swimming lessons ending.

>failed adaption
Deadman Wonderland so much.

>>55190684

The visuals in that OP are great

Indifferent to the song itself

>>55190993
Oh wait, fuck, now I remember. It's just been a long time since I last looked it up.

>originality
Hidan no Aria

Hetalia has a serious case of same face syndrome, at least in the manga.

>>55191004
Bro, I'm not the one who suggested it.

I loved Mushishi personally, although the characters did have a lot of sameface/samehair going on in it.

Seeing Clannad After Story's kawaiiful ED being played right after dead baby scenes was pretty jarring.

>>55190824
I did mention Hanasaku Iroha's both ops.

Niea Under 7 had pretty god-awful wtf vocals in its op, and the ending was some pretty crap stuff too.

Ok, these go just for the ops. I can't really remember especially awful all-around usage of music... except...

Red Garden had the characters singing in a super melodramatic emo manner out of fucking nowhere in the middle of an episode, which freaked me out and I dropped it like it was on fire.

Of course in reality I dropped everything that season in favor of Code Geass S1 and /a/ threads.

>>55191095
Mushishi was amazing

>>55190869
>Still, if you're adding based on length

HnI is not even because of the pure lenght. Have some of the goals of the protagonist:
>Fight Miyata again (800 chapters later and we're still waiting)
>Become national champion (attained)
>kiss Kumi (800 chapters later and we're still waiting)
>Challenge world champion (500 chapters later and we're still waiting)

That's the sort of stagnation that deserves to be an example of lasting too long.

>>55189338
You fucker, Noir is godly.

>>55191089
Agreed, they're supposed to represent different countries but I can hardly tell them apart and aside from England's scribble eyebrows they all have the same facial features.

>Knowing when to quit
>No Ah my goddess

Over twenty years and absolutely no end in sight.

>>55189338
The tracks on their own are good but hearing them played over and over during the same flashbacks we've seen a million times before is a pretty ineffective use of music.

>>55191144
>Fight Miyata again
I don't think that'll actually happen profesionally.

>kiss Kumi
>world champion
that's the end of the series

Its main problem is fights lasting too fucking long. He should keep them at the length they were back in Ozuma's days.

>>55191208
Seems like that a lot of the stagnating series started at the late 80s early 90s range.

No.6 goes into op/ed

especially op, God awful.

How about Saint fucking Seiya on not knowing when to stop and horrible fillers?

>>55191263
I agree. One of the reasons I couldn't keep watching it.

>A woman who is traumatized from the death of her squad hears a voice from the spirit of a veteran of the older war
>AIJOU YUJOU
Welcome to the OP/ED department, Sora no Woto

>Red Garden had the characters singing in a super melodramatic emo manner out of fucking nowhere in the middle of an episode, which freaked me out and I dropped it like it was on fire.

Aw, you didn't wait until the villain does it.

>>55191376
The OP animation has great artistic direction, though.

>>55191415
Yeah, but... I dunno... Sora No Woto is weird with "LET'S STOP WAR! WITH MUSIC"

Updated.

When it comes to the respectable OP/ED, you need to take into account that it disregards the content of the series, not just that the music is bad. So like with Honey & Clover - why are they using live action? Why is it so creepy? Stained underwear? HOLY SHIT, SHRIMP HAND. What has this to do with the fucking anime?

Like that.

And fine, I've taken off Haruhi since it'll obviously be replaced. I think it's more a case of "should have known better" than "knowing when to quit".

Sunabozu OP.
Song is so-so, but the vid. is ridiculous.

>>55191517
In a good way...? Although you're right about the music being bland.

The opening of PPP was fucking terribad, then again, it kinda fit in with the screaming mess the episodes were.

>>55191004

I thought Mushishi was great, but I entered this thread just to see if it had been put in the individual character designs slot, it did fail at that, like you said it wasn't important given the episodic nature of the show but it's definitely something that the show failed at nonetheless.

>>55191507
>When it comes to the respectable OP/ED, you need to take into account that it disregards the content of the series, not just that the music is bad.

But Shaft's openings are the best in the industry and sometimes they are full of fuck.

Rurouni Kenshin had terrible filler. Hell, the filler got it canceled.

Failing at respectable OP: Hellsing OVA.

>>55191627
Got a link to the OP? I can't seem to recall seeing it.

>>55191711
Hellsing Ultimate had an OP?

>adaptation
>Soul Eater
Wat. Bones does some of the best anime adaptations out there, and Soul Eater's a prime example. The last 10 minutes or so of the final episode is the only shitty part

>>55191738
It's not that the anime sucks, it just disregards the manga

>>55191711
Like Schrodinger marching all over the world? Hellsing has always been a bit wacky though...

>>55191765
Nono, I am talkingabout it missing the OP. ED was usually good.

>>55191649
If they're still good despite that, then that's okay. It's when they fail at it that they suck.

I would like to nominate both One Piece and Air Gear for the "Adapting Source Material" category.

I have a question regarding Soul Eater seeing as I'm downloading the series at the moment.

Around which episode should I stop watching it and start reading the manga or should I throw out the anime all together?

Ao no Exorcist.

For both Filler and Adaption categories.

>>55191820
Start reading the manga, disregard animation.

>>55191820
If I remember right, you should switch over around the Brew Arc. You seriously don't want to go beyond that because you'll cry seeing how badly they destroy the characters.

>>55191893
Cool, guess I'll do that then.

>>55191507
Vandread has mediocre Fillers...

>>55191831
I think that's more something for the second chart with the "original ending" thing, which I may move Soul Eater into, although they went off the rails way earlier than was necessary.

Also, disregarding the parts that go into the ending, a couple of the filler episodes of Ao no Exorcist weren't that bad. Still, it's a huge disappointment overall.

Nominating Shiki for character designs, everyone has retarded hair.

>>55191657
Oh yeah, I forgot about that. I think that's a pretty good contender then.

Also, can anyone confirm something for me? I seem to remember a friend telling me that the Tsubasa anime adaption was so bad CLAMP got pretty upset over it. It also had terrible filler? Because that might be a contender for adaption (instead of Soul Eater?) or filler if anyone can confirm it.

>>55192149
Tsubasa was bad to begin with, but what the anime did was kiddify it.

Yeah, i think you can put Tsubasa, but as soon as you find a better anime, change tsubasa in a heartbeat

Worst OP EVER!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xk8GaZ1nwac

>>55192249
That sounds okay then.

I think I'll have to leave it here for now. I've mentioned before that I'm sick and fuck, I have the strangest headache right now.

Put One Piece in adapting source material .
FUCK TOEI

Higurashi adaptation was worse than Umineko

>>55192336

That voice!!!
MY EARS ARE BLEEDING!

>>55191507
Could you please remove honey and clover? It has a nice and unique opening and Yuki is a good singer.

>>55192336
I'm now wondering if Rie ever did an opening.

>>55192383
Kai? Yes
The first season wasn't bad at all.

>>55192383
No it wasn't.

>>55192383
I thought Higurashi was well done, Fuck Kai though, but even that doesn't compare to how bad Umineko was.

here's a shitty OP

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ibw_f8ha98

>>55192527
The first three seconds are hard to stand.
I just hit a fan-cover by mistake, my toes curled.

Somebody should just go shoot the composer and the director of the OP.

>>55189713
Inuyasha belongs in filler, since it is actually over and the filler was by far the most trifling problem with the show. Though DKWTQ and filler are going to have a fair amount of overlap. if something was still going and didn't have any filler, all quality episodes, who would say it needed to quit?

also, four animes per category sucks. we can think of dozens of shows for these categories. and add bad animation for god's sake.

Xam'd was the most blatant Last Exile clone I've ever seen. I'd say that counts as failing at originality.

this is pointless. anyone with a brain who genuinely likes anime can find their own way. making these charts is catering to new friends who don't know what good character design is or how an adaptation can be a clusterfuck.

>>55192650
Well, it's not that bad.
Ok, genericsong and no OC, but not really horrifying.

>>55192722
If we stopped everything pointless, this board would be empty. As would all others.

>>55192700
>BONES
>Xam'd
>Eureka 7
>RahXephon
>basically everything but Baccano
I swear that studio just looks at shit that has been done and clones it without the controversial points that made the source material great. Rahxephon was a real bore.

>Adapting source material

GANTZ GANTZ GANTZ GANTZ

>>55189295
>Macross Frontier
...The fuck?

>>55192675
Well, her voice is definitely 'special' and the 'animation' isn't exactly related to the anime. I always prefered the opening of the second season. It's more 'symbolic' and less random.

>>55192757
Baccano was Brains Base

>Adapting Source Material
You need some really awful ones on there. Like the Violinist of Hameln anime.

>Filler
NADIA FOR THE LOVE OF GOD THE FUCKING ANIMAL ISLAND ARC AHEUHFKLDSEJFSL

>>55192818
> Violinist of Hameln

Thanks for reminding me. Asshole.

>>55191738
It stopped following the manga at episode 35 retard. The filler was terrible

>>55192369
Why did you drop Soul EATER? Dude if you're gonna do these charts you actually have to have some integrity

>>55192964
It is supposed to be listed in original anime ending.

>>55192989
But the adaptation was terrible

Soul Eater? Seriously? There's far worse adaptations out there than Soul Eater. A large part of Soul Eater was pretty good, and the only really shit part about it was the ending.

Anyone got the Series that excel in..... Charts. I only have one.

>>55192964
>Dude if you're gonna do these charts you actually have to have some integrity

This the reason why these charts turn to shit is because the people making them crave into fanboy cries. The same thing happen with the hero chart regarding Luffy's involvement

If you're going to make this chart, shouldn't you take out the QUALITY column in the other chart and put it in this one?

>>55193027
Everything after the Brew arc was shit
>Shinusen turning into a giant mecha
>Kid fighting clown boss
>BS and Kid being useless
>COURAGE PUNCH

>>55193050

Here

>>55193089
I don't remember it since it was like three years ago but there's far worse things out there. It doesn't belong in the same group as Umineko.

>>55193050

Why Gundam SEED specifically? Oughta just put Hisashi Hirai in there and take on Infinite Ryvius and S-cry-ed as well. Think he did Heroic Age too.

>Knowing when to quit
Berserk, One Piece, Detective Conan and Hajime no Ippo. Imo these mentioned must be added at all cost.

>>55193125
Thank you.

>>55193050
>Vinland Saga
>western

>>55193228
>One Piece
Nah, the length itself doesn't matter, One Piece has no any particular point where its gone from awesome to shit. Its either you like it and its awesome all the way, or you hate it from beginning and drop immediately

This only encourages trolling.

>>55193469
Chart never encourage trolling; only discussions.

It's impossible to have no trolls in internet discussions

>>55193228
>Berserk, One Piece
Nope. Yes for the other 2, Ippo is full of unrealistic bullshit now (Woli), DC is so repetitive and out of ideas that the author doesn't even bother to make Conan hide during the Sleeping Kogoro scenes anymore

I wonder... what would Digimon Adventure 02 fail at?

>>55193506
Well, the kids just don't know the difference anymore.

>>55193671
Romantic relationship
>You've really grown up, Tai

>>55193696
Well I'm still optimistic at how I see charts.

>>55193506
The first chart, mainly focused on anime that excel in visual aspects is much easier for people to come to a consensus on. This on the otherhand isn't as clear cut because there's a lot more BAD stuff out there and people are less likely to have seen a lot of the bad stuff. Trolling is encouraged where people are more interested in listing off things they dislike and being controversial rather.

>>55193671
Continuity

Or part two someone needs to include Tales of Eternia for shitty adaptation.

As for shitty op, I would nominate Elemental Gelade.

>>55193833
We should start listing for continuity.

I say BAA.
From headhunters in a 2-class society to rollerball to Fist of the Northstar - like end-time wars without much transition is just a little too much.

For character design I nominate Clannad for it's derptastic character designs. And Guinguiser. For either of the open ones.

>>55192249
>but what the anime did was kiddify it.
I don't see how that makes it bad, might as well add all the adaptions that airs in the morning. Actually, yeah, I would say Toriko and One Piece had it much worse than Tsubasa. In fact, I can easily point out several series from this season that had it worse. Tsubasa is a decent adaption, Clamp is just being retarded.

>>55193947
Or better yet, shitty adaptations, character designs (Not only that they fucking changed it, but everyone looks fat) and the fact the entire series is filler.

The original section is just so misleading. Why does something have to be original to be good? Just look at Toloveru sure nothing is different nor is it going to break barriers but that is the thing it isn't trying to be anything but a ecchi comedy and it does it so well.

>>55194119
Nobody said the series are inherently bad.
This just lists series that are bad at something.

>filler
>no Saiyuki

>>55194169
>say it isn't bad
>then go and say it is a list of bad

HERP DERP

>>55189123
I'd like to add 11eyes to originality. The cliches are fucking terrible. You could predict everything in there.

Naruto also belongs in "Original Character design"

>>55194015
There's nothing wrong with Clannad's design faggot

And they were a large improvement from Air and Kanon. (which weren't bad either, but haters gonna hate).

>>55194294
I mean "Individual character designs"

>>55194305
>Air
>not bad

What the fuck

I don't mind Clannad and Kanon but Air's art is fucking eyerape

What about Infinite Stratos to originality?

>>55194364
Name three anime like Infinite Stratos

>>55194211
Having a bad element doesn't mean being overally bad.
Is it that hard to comprehend?

>>55194376
Generic Harem #1
Generic Harem #2
Generic Harem #3

To find Generic Harems, just open a season chart from the past five or six seasons and point at any anime you see there. 90% it's a harem.

>>55194376
Color Wars comes to mind right off the bat. A lot of shows really run the same elements of "DERR I HATE YOU" develops into "I WANT UR COCK".

If you haven't seen shows like that, you must be new here, then.

>>55194448
Nice try but no dice.

Name actual series.

Saying they're like it because they're harem is like saying all comedy anime are the same.

>>55194448
You forgot the part where IS is half mecha.

>>55194563
Strike Witches

>>55194721
It's not mecha at all. It's a side element that tries to differentiate the basic blocks of the story, which is a harem. Don't try to twist the idea here. It's still a generic harem with a TWEEEST.

I honestly don't think you've watched a lot of harem shows. There's a few varieties, but the one IS falls into is probably the most popular. Hell, even the character types are nothing strange. If you can't accept that, I feel bad for you, because /a/ will tear anything you watch apart like this.

>>55194841
>It's a side element that tries to differentiate the basic blocks of the story
Wrong. Half of almost every episode is dedicated to mecha, either battles or training. And the last couple episodes or so are completely based around it.

Much more than just a side element.

Gundam 00, if I wanted shitty character designs I'd watch G Gundam.
Victorian Romance Emma, otaku-pandering maid fanservice bullshit.

Michiko to Hatchin. Shitty halfassed Boondocks ripoff, the jokes aren't even that funny.

>>55194931
What is the purpose of these battles? Oh that's right. Character development. It has nothing to do with the rest of the story. If they made a S2, they could make it look better. But right now, it's only there to let things line up between characters. It's a plot device, and nothing more. Deal with it.

derishus pasta

>Hellsing, Twilight except shit.
The trouble with this is that it suggests Twilight isn't shit. Troll or not.

>>55195009
>makes about as much sense as a pedophile in a retirement home
Actually pedophile in a retirement home is a pretty good idea if you think about it, there are lots of kids visiting their elderly and since the area have adults people have false impression that children are safe there alone.
