NEWS: Kyoto Animation to Unveil New Anime Next Friday

And you're accusing me of oversimplifying.

Cute isn't bad, "cutesy" is bad. I would define "cutesy" as dwelling on cute aesthetics to the point of fetishism, and to the degradation of the effort.

Everyone with an opinion is judgemental. That's what an opinion is. My judgement is that cutesy bullcrap is a waste of good animation. It's just a safe self-delusion for the mawkish to use as a security blanket.

Are you implying Penguindrum isn't a smart and clever show? I don't want to use the word "deep", but yes it has depth.

I'm sorry I'm with Penguin with this. These boring looking school shows are not what I think about when I think anime. Whats the point of them being in animated, let alone by a good studio? I don't know about you peeps, but I didn't get into anime and I sure don't like watching cartoons to see boring everyday things. No I like animation to have crazy things that are out of this world. So no, I have never got school shows starting cute girls doing pointless cute things.

You don't have to like what KyoAni makes, but by god don't look down on the work from your position of being some dipshit on ANN named after the 2003 remake of [expletive] REIDEEN.

Rahxephon came out in 2002. Maybe the actual Reideen remake came out in 2003.

How was it meandering?

Of course I'm oversimplifying, I had to bring it down to your apparent intellectual level. Since you apparently thought Penguindrum was SUPER DEEP or something.

continually insisting that the only reason anyone would watch those shows is so they can do lewd things to anime figures. Which is A) Not true and B) A seriously bizarre thing to focus on. Why do you do that again?

Oh I'm so sorry I was off by a year. It was only a decade ago. How could I possibly get that wrong?

Regardless, by nitpicking about that but not addressing the meat of the post you are effectively admitting that you have no actual leg to stand on here.

Who cares if they are what you think of when you think of anime?

Who asked you?

Because you feel that since you like "deep" and "meaningful" shows (as defined solely by yourself) that any shows you don't like must not be worthwhile?

Do you think someone is forcing those poor people at KyoAni to make these shows?

When actually KyoAni is one of the very few studios that is not beholden to what some production comittee hires them to animate?

These are the shows that the best animators in Japan want to make.

So for you to come along and say that their efforts are pointless, that these shows do not even deserve to exist is not only a spectacularly huge amount of hubris on your part, it devalues the very medium you claim to support.

Sounds like someone's pretty sensitive.

Those shows are tailor-made for the mindset that gave birth to "hot gluing". You think anyone was messing their Ghost in the Shell figures?

No. Moeblob Character#495485 with the eyepatch, school uniform, and ahoge is the one sad sacks buy hug pillows for, the one they have dinner with their screencaps with. It's the self-deluded blanket clenchers who want to pretend if they were cute girls they'd have friends like Konata and Yui for twenty minutes every week.

That is KyoAni's bread and butter, their lifeblood.

Hell I think they devalue this medium, because they continue pumping out anime I don't care for

Hell I think they devalue this medium, because they continue pumping out anime I don't care for that continues the current lame image of anime. Yes I said I. Please attack that and say I'm trying to impose my personal views on this huge studio. No man, I'm saying my personal views, just like you are. The difference here is I'm not telling you that you can't like them. I'm not sure why you are trying to turn liking this studio into some political studio. It's stupid cartoons. You like some or you don't.
