Unpopular Opinions You Hold About Anime

Well JO agrees.

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

That seems to be the first time that I've agreed with her on something in a while.

[Spark Of Spirit]

Let me know when she continues the Digimon or Trigun feature.

Eh, she might work on one of them for a half hour, and come up with 5 lamer ideas to use instead. Like always.

Tell her that on Twitter, and she'll block you for trying to stifle her confidence or whatnot.

Madoka Magica Rebellion was a great conclusion to the anime, and I don't think it really needs a direct sequel. Though a sequel set in the same universe with different characters would be fine.

[LumRanmaYasha]

Yeah, I don't really see what a sequel to it could do to really add onto the story without sacrificing what made that movie a powerful conclusion. I'd rather they leave that ending as is.

Agreed 100%.

[Souther]

The thing is, the only reason that the Rebellion movie exists is to extend the story and allow them to continue making something else in the future. Madoka is too much of a popular property to be allowed to wither away without more milking. Don't expect that movie will be the last any of us will see of it.

The first 3 seasons of Digimon (yes, even Adventure 02) >>>> Any season of Pokemon

I say this knowing that the latter is far more popular.

Pokemon is something I don't think I should go back to. I mean, I love the first season, but I'm sure a massive reason for that is nostalgia. I have so much overwhelming nostalgia for the first season. Nowadays, I do think I could still watch individual episodes of it and love it for that reason. But I think that, if I were to go through and rewatch the entire season, I would see that it was never all that good. So I think it might just be better to remember it for what it was to me.

[LumRanmaYasha]

Eh. I have watched the early seasons of Pokemon several times over the years. And though I think it is a repetitive show with significant pacing and story issues, I think the original series is still a fun show to watch. Is the original series better than the first three seasons of Digimon? Fuck no. The first series of Pokemon never had a good plot or character development. But it's not the p.o.s a lot of people fear it is. You could probably enjoy it for what it is, an amusing monster-battle kids show, and I think there's nothing wrong with that.

Diamond and Pearl is, however, easily the best of the Pokemon anime. Strong overarching character arcs with a fantastic payoff to the core rivalry of Satoshi and Shinji (Ash and Paul for you dubbies) in what is easily the best battle in the entire series. Not to say I don't have problems with it (I have a fair amount), but it's still the best of them overall and I certainly don't say that out of nostalgia. I definitely prefer it to Digimon Adventure 02.

On the subject of Pokemon anime, I'll just chime in (again?) that Black & White is easily the worst of the 5.

I will also say that the Pokemon Adventures manga is excellent and leagues better than any of the anime.

On the tangent of kids toyetic anime series I'll also say that while I think the anime is crap I also think that the original Yu-Gi-Oh! manga is actually pretty good, the Millennium World arc being really good, and it's ending is one of the strongest I've seen in a shonen manga.

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

As far as the toyetic kinda anime series to, I have to say that, aside from Ditimon, I found the first 3 seasons of Zoids to be pretty entertaining, and they had surprisingly more substance to them than you'd expect for a show that was essentially meant to market toy models. It did help that the concept was essentially Gundam meets Pokemon, though.

I've had the same opinion about both franchises I've always had.

Games
Pokemon > Digimon

Anime
Digimon > Pokemon

[Skeeter Valentine]

I actually kind of like Xros Wars.
