hi person I don't remember lol

I don't expect you to, either . I was around for a little while in, what, 2011? And I did what I do best, lurk. Though I did make the King in The Last Promose incredibly fat, the king of Bern I think. Well, before you redid the story, never got around to playing the full release.

yeah I feel similarly. I can barely tolerate shows like GATE because they have some level of seriousness to them but the amount of fan service/moe designs/otaku stuff is just a bit much for my tastes. and I can't handle cutesy stuff, or rather I just really dislike it, even if it's supposedly dark like Madoka Magica or School Days or whatever that one zombie show was.

Mhm. Well, I did actually like Madoka Magica (mainly because I grew up on Mahoy Shoujo anime), but its not something I would put amongst my favorites. But yeah, stuff like pointless fanservice can ruin an anime for me (TTGL being a huge example of this), and these fucking slice-of-life shows... And the ones that are worse... The "ironic" slice-of-life shows like that High School Boys thingy. Its just downright stupid.

That said, I don't mind cute stuff or something like that as bad as it may seem, I just want different artstyles for different shows... And no deconstructions of said genres (Evangelion, Madoka Magica and such), because honestly... They only pander to people that dislike said genres and doesn't help at all.

I'm also with you on the overhype, though I wouldn't say that's because of pessimism for me. It's more of the mentality/atmosphere. I like to get into things and judge things for myself, not try them just because they're hyped or like/hate it because X/Y did or something lol

Well, I mean, pessimism might be the wrong word in my case when I think about it, rather my dislike for things that get pointlessly big (Fire Emblem Awakening for instance, a good game, but far too overrated and easy.. And if you try to go the lunatic+ route, its mosly just bullshit you hardly can do anything about. Which made me slightly upset, meaning I rank it alongside Sacred Stones on my favorite FE list. And that's like midtier.) anyways, the point is, when things get overhyped, I get far more aware of the flaws in the show, and have an easier time disliking it as such. For instance, Attack on Titan was complete garbage to me, just a bunch of retarded giants running around, eating people in very poor animations and rehashed scenes, characters making any depth to them and... Ugh.

But still, I acknowledge that I enjoy some overhyped shit too, that's not it, but that's usually not the case.

Any spelling mistake can be blamed on me writing this on my phone.
