Naruto earned its bad reputation during those endless days of filler that frustrated most fans and enraged the rest of them. The End of Filler got put off again, and again, and again, and seldom has anime sucked so hard. Everyone was disillusioned when they saw how easy it was for the producers of the show to so thoroughly rape it for money under the pretense of buying time for the manga to outstrip the show. It started out captivatingly awesome, and it became so appallingly shitty that you couldn't even watch it to laugh at because you'd end up crying at the loss.

Also, /cm/ haet Sasuke because he was stupidly popular here for so long and people just generally got sick of his bullshit.

I still love him, though.

Sage for haet in mai /cm/. I don't like Naruto, but I can understand people still liking it for the fanart, haha.

The male Key characters have no fanart even though they are much more likable than the moeblobs.

Let Dai. It's a 15 volume BL manga. Its so beautiful, and a mustreed. Don't expect any hardcore action though, but do expect a good story with awesome characters.

It is, it's like a soap opera and less sophisticated Shakespeare blended together very badly. The character break out in so many soliloquies that you would be begging for them to shut the fuck up especially after the main character keeps on crowing how beautiful Dai is. Ugh.

It enrages me when someone think that title actually has good dialog.

Considereing it's an action shounen in Jump, I think reborn gets too little recognition. it's a LOT better than Bleach, Naruto and One Piece.

The anime for DGM started off a bit rocky because of the arbitrary changes in canon for no apparent good reason, as well as the random insertion of a filler-type baddie who just doesn't DO anything (who later proves to be canon, in a really nifty twist by the mangaka). However, once it got past the crazy filler arcs and back into the canon, it has been fucking amazing. The last four episodes have been absolutely mind-blowing.

(and plz ignore boobs in the pic, she pops up in every single group pic I have. She doesn't do much in the story after she gets her butt toasted by a Level Three, except angst angst angst.)

I seriously adore Allen Walker. Not quite getting all the Kanda-adoration (he's a rude asshole, even if he is a pretty one).

TL;DR -- DGM anime is better than it seems at the start; and the manga is fucking AWESOME.

Earthian? I've avoided it because I expected the main characters to be completely stereotypical. Do they ever show any personality beyond the classical "I'm kind, caring, submissive and dumb" and "I act like a fucking bastard, but I have an excuse for it and a soft spot for my uke"? If they do, I'll have to read it.

Anyway, pimping Ciel here. Nice art, an interesting magic system, a mysterious setting, awesome human characters, author doesn't mess with subtext and just lets relationships develop naturally.

wow, Minekura art hate! I don't see that very often. I guess YOU are the only one who can't tell which character is which because they are different. Minekura-sensei has changed her style a lot from the time she drew Exec Committee, it looks nothing like what WA, Saiyuki Reload and Saiyuki Gaiden now.

Whatever, you like what you like.
>> Anonymous
>>735927
Wow, if you consider Minekura's art 'shitty' then I can't imagine what you'd say is good art. Minekura is an amazing artist, despite the fact that you dislike her style.

and along with what anon just said above, if you took the time to look, there are differences to all her characters.

Shin Angyo Onshi. Also Island - it's the same Korean writer/artist duo.

If the art wasn't reason enough to give it a look, the characters are dynamic and interesting. Personally, I love the historical/mythological aspects.

With Minekura, you can tell that she hasn't just studied and practiced how to draw manga-style people. She's trained herself from the human body, and she pays special attention to skeletal and muscular structure and its behavior. It makes her art real and alive. When someone in Wild Adapter gets their arm broken and twisted, man, you can /feel/ the wrenching and the crack.

And as for her characters looking the same, THEY'RE ALL ASIAN. And as others pointed out, you can tell them apart if you pay attention. The distinction of Minekura's style is that instead of using different hairstyle and color, or eye color and size, to differentiate between characters, she creates characters of such striking personality that you can tell them visually apart by expression, posture and mannerism.

I suspect that she consciously gives her most simple character designs to her most complex characters in order to avoid drawing attention away from what's important, into distractions like gravity-defying hair and oddly-futuristic dangly earrings. Before you read the manga, you see character art of Kubota, you'll think he looks like Hakkai and Ukoku Sanzo. After you read the manga, you'll never get them mixed up; you can pick them apart with a glance and at a distance. You look at the emptiness in young Kubota's eyes and it is of an entirely /different/ nature than the emptiness of Kenyuu's eyes--bored to the point of true despair, different also from the emptiness in Cho Gonou's eyes--so broken by the loss of his lover and twin sister that he slaughters thousands.

Yes, the characters are actually fairly deep and well thought out. It feels less like "OMG LOOKIT THE PRETTY BOYS, THEY GONNA HAVE TEH HAWT SEX?" and more like a piece studying what it means to be human, and humanity's effect on the world. It also explores things like whether a robot can be considered human, and what should count as "right" and "wrong" love. It's kind of annoying that it gets talked about as a BL manga, because while that is a part of the story, people ignore what is a very good piece of science-fiction, thinking it to be just fangirly mush.
>> Anonymous
>>737260
Exactly. WA is not a BL manga, it might be some shonen-ai but that is NOT the point of the story AT ALL. The story however packs a punch, what kind of people this society can create? The underworld EXISTS and creates/destroys/changes people irrevocably.

Infinite Ryvius. The guy who's writing Gundam 00 right now wrote this series as well, and I'll be damned that Wing overshadowed it when it came out, and it never got the attention it deserved.

I second on the Oofuri. Once you get past the "ZOMG SPORTS ANIME LOL PRINCE OF TENNIS" facade and the irky art style, you really start to appreciate the characters for what they really are. I highly reccomend it for anyoe who wants to watch a 26-episode series in a short time-span. Or drag it out, whichever you preffer.

I never said you had to. I also never said there was any problem with your mental capacity. I just said I didn't like it anymore, because I think Kishimoto has ruined the storyline.

I couldn't give a fuck less if you still wish to like it. It's not my place to tell you what to like, anymore than it's your job to tell me what to like. I just don't like it, and that's my choice.
