Does complete avoidance count as "improper viewing"?

Suggesting that there are literally no bad anime and the only reason anyone has ever disliked an anime is because they weren't watching it "correctly" is arrogant, yeah. Not to mention one of the most monumentally absurd things I've ever heard anyone say in my entire career on this site and elsewhere, but yeah. |

I got your back Mark. This whole review seems to walk in with completely incorrect expectations of this anime. It's over the top humor, enough said. I've been having a blast with Aria the Scarlet Ammo. Haters gonna hate.

From what I've seen of this show, it seems to be the best way to enjoy it. |

sket dance is funny, and it parodies the heck out of stuff yet still has a lot of heart when it wants to |

I somehow made it through the first episode of this show... Carl's review is pretty generous. The only good thing about this show is delicious trollsubs which it totally deserves.

My Mount Rushmore of light novel-adaptation is Scrapped Princess, Spice and Wolf, Durarara, Garden of Sinners, and Read or Die. None of this Manic Pixie Rom-Com crap that seems to bring all the other boys to the yard. Admittedly, Familiar of Zero and Index are close, but I seem to more interested in everything but The Girl with those two, and they do have issues with staying power. |

Ok, I admit it. I only watch this series for the lulz. It's over-the-top stupid and cannot be taken seriously. Every now and then, it comes up with something so idiotic I have to laugh.
And no, Zac's not always right. He's just wrong with good logic.

I have to say, I enjoy Aria, but I enjoy a lot of things. Sometimes watching mindless boring anime is fun for me, or just a way to distract me from boredom.
Anyway, in the case of the Anime, they left out a lot of explanation. For example(I'm not going to worry about spoiler tags, because most of you have probably either already seen this far into the series, or just don't give a damn, but I'm warning you know, if you don't like spoilers, don't read this post), Riko being the Butei Killer is hinted at several times in both the light novel and the recent manga spin off, so it doesn't feel as random and out of place. On top of that there is an explanation as to how she got on the plane before Kinji. Aria's character is still rather annoying, but she feels just a little more fleshed out in the manga. Without these things I can see how one would be frustrated at the Anime, but the light novel/manga is a decent read for anyone willing. |

isn't it like that with every light novel character voiced by Kugimiya? At least that's what I hear; I have yet to read the light novel to any of these series myself, but some comments here and there leave me with the impression that her characters actually might NOT be some of the most obnoxiously childish and irredeemably bitchy characters in all of Japanese media. I could at least assume that not every chapter of Zero no Tsukaima ended with some cheap gag that involves Louise's dislike for breasts prompting her to get out the whip, right? It's really quite a shame, as I genuinely do think she has a pretty cute voice (albeit lacking in variety), but pair her up with J.C. Staff, and there's nothing but trouble abound. Really, every time, it's like they feel the need to cash in on Shana's success, so they find a novel with a stout tsundere main and just pigeonhole her to death. Follow that up with half-assed writing to a shoe-horned romance plot, and Kugimiya being forced to go into "urusai!"-ish temper tantrums that just makes me lower my head in disgust (makes me pity the male leads who're doomed to be stuck with her just because, moreso when they end up with a harem full of better girls). |
