I think two picks of things that I don't know anything about is the limit.

E: the point is for me to pick one or two things I don't know anything about, telling me "oh that's actually good" just takes the fun away.

i dunno, that stuff just doesn't do anything for me. whenever i try to grind through sports manga or anime the sports parts put me to sleep.

Do you watch much real sport, have you played a sport.

I have been sporadically watching Mushishi, binged on Gankutsuou back in July, and have continued to watch Jojo to this date. Any more-recent anime recommendations from 2003-2013 that I could fill my time up with while I wait for good shows in October?

Shokugeki doesn't count does it? Um....
Nothing. Never. Ever.
When I was little I avoided Prince of Tennis and Ultimate Muscle on 4Kids. Only watched Space Jam.
When I was older I was revolted by Free as a yaoi sellout.
Ping Pong being an Anime around Ping pong on first sight baffled me, because why is there an anime about Ping Pong?
Hajime no Ippo, Kuroko no Basket, Haikyuu, you name it, have never interested me, as they're about sports
Which I have despised since I was little (bad one-day experience with Soccer when I was five)

So yeah.

Magical Girl Raising Project definitely had weird pacing problems with trying to do both too much and yet not enough simultaneously. I get that they want to get to the Battle Royale-esque stuff sooner rather than later, but it'd be nice to have a reason to care about that first? They crammed a lot of exposition in, without really putting a focus on much resembling characterisation for the most part. That said, even boys can be magical girls was the best part of the episode because it was at least set up semi-well. The start of episode scene felt like it was included more out of some kind of obligation than necessity as well; like they HAD to show that it is totally going to get grimdark later, but it really came off as out of place.
I like that they aren't going for a bait and switch approach and just laying their cards on the table

there's a ton going on, and it's totally unfitting that the word fanservice is used as a catch-all for Strike Witches like it's the genre. The word should be used for ancillary scenes like Rider filling the gently caress out of a t-shirt and naked Gil in Fate/Zero, imo, rather than describing a series like Strike Witches for being founded on its moe traits and mecha musume and uses that to build an entire world with fun characters. The anime has fanservicey butt shots or bath scenes, and sometimes the manga does! But it's not what gives the show heartwarming and funny moments or why the series is still going strong nine years later. Fans don't open up the latest in a metric gently caress-ton of light novels to read a multi-page entry on a girl's panties (Kizu joke goes here).

It annoys me to no end to see 'fanservice' a dull buzzword that's used for a connotation of writing off any elements of a work that don't appeal to the user—and it doesn't stop at sexuality, as you see it all the time with sequels and the like adding moments of characterization that fans have already considered and played with. Sometimes it's just fanservice beats like Nico and Maki doing something cute in Love Live S2 in a wink-nudge moment, and sometimes the entire story and its theme is predicated on an idyllic happy world, like in the third Madoka movie, Rebellion. I don't think it has a place in stigmatizing anime on a holistic level.

that's my two cents.

I watched Keijo as I wanted to know more about "Namtab's risky pick" and I dunno. I like that they got some non-standard physiques represented here, mainly the girl that looks like Avatar Korra and I have Bento vibes.

I picked it based on baps and butts and from the thread reaction I'm probably going to be eating a sixer

because thunderbolt fantasy doesn't have a page on myanimelist, much to my disappointment

my opinion is 'why do i care if it's anime as long as it interests me', which, uh, granted, is usually anime, i guess because there's not much extravagance and over the top emotion in the more popular not-anime things right now?? but i probably should at least peek my head into the breaking bads and...other...similar things...of this world, before making much assumptions

Anime is what I say it is
