Multiverse theory gives me super cancer. I hate that we can even entertain the thought.

Good video, otherwise.

Like, sort of? But obviously, I have to actually, you know, like the post that I'm liking first. I'm not just gonna like it for the sake of it having been liked by a large number of people. But if I see a large number of people like a post that I also happen to like, then yeah, I feel "obligated" to like the post myself. I guess.

Just got the final (fucking) hat in SSB 3DS. Now all I gotta do is beat All-Star with nine more characters, and I'll basically have 100%ed the game.

...Then I get to try the Wii U version!

I think it's due to a perfect storm of factors...
- Her wide-eyed stare, coupled with the red-eye effect, makes it look like she's looking into your soul.
- Her soulless smile. It manages to look forced and genuine at the same time. She looks inhuman. The yellowed teeth don't help.
- Her very masculine complexion. Makes me want to shit a brick. Even her nose is too big.
- Her oily skin. And I wanna take a shower just looking at her hair.
- The fact that her head looks HUGE compared to the man to her left. Like she's some type of alien.

Clearly, she's some kind of giantess or ogress.

Wow. I'm, like... legitimately disturbed by this woman's face.

Not gonna bother updating till the last day.

wanting detailed reasons makes me a dumb cunt

41892
I can't just infer what you like about the story, because I might fucking HATE the story.
You have to TELL ME THE SPECIFICS. Retard.

41893
"I LIKE THE STORY"

WOW! THAT SURE TELLS ME A LOT!

What about the story do you like?
Fucking dumb cunt.

41894
It doesn't. Explaining what you like tells me fuck all about WHY you like those things.

41895
Well, I'm sorry, but I don't think you did it very well. You said everything I expected you to say--you like the story, the animation, the music. That's all just kind of obvious. Like, of course you're gonna like that. That doesn't really help me understand why you like it, though.

41896
Yeah, but Verb, you enjoy writing essays.
I'm just saying, if someone thinks they're going to convince me that anime doesn't suck with a couple of short paragraphs explaining superficial things, then they're sadly mistaken...

41897
Is writing an essay about your detailed opinion on something that hard?

Am I just the shit, or something? Because if you ask me why I like anything that I like, I can write you a fucking ten page essay explicitly telling you every little thing that makes it good. It's not hard. Is it a time thing? It would take me no more than ten minutes to write something nice.

41898
You lose.

again, that all just sounds very superficial
...then you're a stupid cunt, who

1. didn't read the post, and didn't realize that i'm actually conceding that pokemon isn't that artful in any non-superficial way
2. thinks that themes are superficial

Wait, what sorts of philosophical/psychological value are you getting out of playing Pokemon of all things? Where does the artistic appeal start in a game with such a simplistic premise and goal?
pokemon is just a fragment of my childhood that i can't seem to let go of

though it is admittedly less intellectually artful than any of my ideals demand, there are a number of themes present in some of the game's stories enough to keep it interesting

like, in generation V--the ethics of actually capturing and training and forcing the pokemon to fight with each other is explored

not to mention, competitive battling can get surprisingly complex
complex strategy is artful in itself, i would argue

that is a good example though, and i'm glad you pointed that out

I can't pinpoint what makes it special because there isn't anything that makes it special compared to the above.
then you're just not understanding what i mean by special, because this point is integral
it's absolutely fundamental to understanding where i'm coming from

if you did not see something in the anime that you enjoyed
you wouldn't watch anime

and if it's something superficial like gore, just because you can't have as much blood in real life

that is an extremely superficial reason to like anything, and i reject it on its face
if you have no other reasons to watch anime, i'm putting you in the "has bad taste" bin
It's quite fine, going to work just involved Alt-Tabbing and doing my essay lol. 15 minutes isn't going to throw it off, I'm just happily going to axe my density playtime tonight in favour of catching up on my work <.<
oh, i thought you actually had to go somewhere

it can't just be "wow, that thing he just did was funny" or "wow, that girl is really cute"
and i would argue that if you DO like stuff like this, then you have bad taste

but how an anyone say someone like me has bad taste?

i'm the one who's actually trying to find philosophical/psychological/etc. value in a lot of these shows
but they're just SO empty

you take a movie like fight club, and it explores all sorts of themes
what the hell does k-on! explore? jackshit

Is Fight Club not entertaining?
that's not what i meant, das
they're not mutually exclusive

i'm not saying art can't be entertaining--i'm saying it doesn't have to be

in order for me to enjoy it, it has to be artful on some level
there has to be some intellectual merit

it can't just be "wow, that thing he just did was funny" or "wow, that girl is really cute"

If you are going to just outright dismiss my reasoning for why I like anime, then have at it. But it makes you look remarkably petty to do so, because you make the claim that nobody can - I then do, as does tru - and you shift the goalposts by saying 'oh that's not justifying it' So if you are going to keep on making fallacies, have fun. I've gotta get on with my work now.
if there wasn't something special about anime, you wouldn't watch it

that's my argument

obviously, you do find something special about it
i want you to pinpoint what that thing/those things are

Verb, why the fuck is anyone here going to bother writing a formal essay to explain how they derive entertainment from a specific media form?
because it's the easiest goddamn thing in the world to do
