Almost every season I just casually browse the board to get an idea for which shows are good, and just watch them. It's mostly worked in the past (Re:Zero, Made in Abyss, etc.) but sometimes it doesn't (Mawaru Penguindrum, Blend S, etc.). So this season, I instead tried something different. I tried watching every single anime that came out this season.
And seriously, what the fuck. I'm fucking exhausted. How do you people force so much anime down your throats every season. Most of it is trash with the occasional half decent episode popping out. Not only is that a massive time investment I could be using on my backlog, but it's just plain mentally exhausting.
Michael Lewis
There are only a few dozen shows, and you don't need to watch much of most of them to figure out if they're something you like or not. Reading Sup Forums on the other hand is a mentally exhausting time sink and I have no idea why I do it.
Matthew Morris
>every single anime that came out this season
This season has barely started, there's more coming
Jacob Brown
Why don't you just look at a chart of all that's airing and pick out the premises that interest you like a normal person?
Asher Hernandez
Are you ready to see anime girls getting slaughtered by "the thing"?
Jack Anderson
>Most of it is trash It's simple. I actually enjoy anime and I give everything a chance to entertain me, instead of assuming they're all trash by default. Watching all anime is certainly not something for everyone, if you really are getting tired while doing it it's clear sign that you're forcing yourself so you should go back to picking shows up that other way.
Jaxson Hill
>Re:Zero is good that shit is trash, which is why you have got to be selective over the anime you watch
Andrew Cruz
You have to learn to tell what show won't do it for you pretty early on (the possibility of missing some gem whose greatness is only apparent almost at the end of the season is not enough to put up with the shit ton of trash that comes out, just come back to a series you drop if you see people hyping it up later). I've dropped every show so far except Kokkoku, Ito Junji Collection, Pop Team Epic and new Cardcaptor because that's all I am truly enjoying on some level. I will drop any one of these if they they can't entertain me anymore as well. I didn't even give many shows a chance because the cover and trailer already tells me I won't like it.
Jackson Walker
been doing the same recently, look whats popular on Sup Forums and assume its good (overlord, konosuba), some of it trash (devilman, pte) was gonna watch Made in abyss but put off by fetish memes.
sometimes ill look at reviews and comment sections to get a feel if im the right audience for an anime cause its impossible to judge a book by its cover nowadays, especially with the time commitment.
keep digging through the backlog and wait to see if any of the seasonal shit is enough to grab your attention, i prefer binging in 1 sitting than wait a week an episode so this works out for me.
but if you wanna be relevant with shitposting and numb your brain keep forcing yourself to watch everything unfiltered
Carson Thomas
You shouldn't let peoples dicks put you off from watching a show. For instance, Mitsuboshi Colors is probably the best comedy of the season but the threads are full of very vocal pedophiles.
Carson Williams
>letting a show's audience affect your ability to enjoy it And this is how you do it completely wrong. The best way to judge a show these days is the same as always: literally just fucking watch it. Even a single episode will do to give you an idea of what to expect, the three episodes rule is effective yes but you don't need to follow it blindly if you don't want to. "But I have no time" isn't an excuse because each full-length episode is only 24 minutes long, so all you need to do in order to finish watching an episode is not pause it to check Sup Forums every ten seconds. Don't forget that every single person in the world other than yourself has shit taste. Stop listening to them and learn to form your own opinions.
Andrew Nelson
You need to consider that most of the Sup Forumsnons who watch 15+ seasonal shows to completion are dimwitted NEETs who pride themselves on being able to spend an enourmous amount of time consuming trash entertainment. They rationalize their shiteating by calling others plebs/normies/casuals who don't actually like anime. There's also the people who speedwatch or don't pay full attention because they're doing other shit simultaneously.

Grayson Perez
Liking 2D lolis doesn't mean one's a pedophile. Many of them are trolling anyway because people like you get so butthurt about something that's ultimately harmless.
Bentley Walker
>trash trash trash Congratulations on having very high standards and exquisite taste. I hope you're having a very enjoyable time with the few shows that survive your rigorous selection process, because the industry is dying and most of the current anime is shit.
Lucas Wright
Lurk for 2 years. >Re:zero good and Penguindrum bad Honestly why do you even bother watching anything that comes out of this medium?
Robert Lopez
>t. plebbit logic
Bentley Howard
>I tried watching every single anime that came out this season. I did this every season from winter 2014 to last season almost. I watched on average over 40 shows each season that were airing and still watched backlog shows. The trick is to move your sleeping schedule back 1 hour and watch a little less than 2 hours a night. I sometimes watch it while I'm eating too.
Daniel Jenkins
In autumn last season I tried something new where I started with 10 shows and dropped 2 shows each week like a battle royale until after a month I settled on the 2 best shows. I recommend this.
Julian Davis
>watching 2 shows a season I actually like anime and don't just pretend to.
Jacob Thompson
>was gonna watch Made in abyss but put off by fetish memes I can't believe you actually fell for that one retard's shitposting.
Hunter Perez
agreed. just spending one hour here would have probably allowed me to try 4-5 shows (assuming some are shit enough to stop mid episode). would be much more efficient
Tyler Powell
If you like anime then you'd just watch the best shows rather than forcing yourself to watch garbage just for bragging rights.
Andrew White
If you can only find two shows that you don't think are garbage per season, then you don't actually like anime.
Adrian Gray
Over sixteen shows haven't even aired yet you fucking liar.
Hunter Harris
>can only find 2 shows worth watching each season Try watching anime.
Adrian Perez
Sup Forumsnime is not for normalfags.
Juan Roberts
>If you don't eat all the shit that's shoved down your throat without any critical thought you don't like anime. How can people be this retarded?
Lucas James
You don't like anime
Alexander Mitchell
>watching 4% of shows airing and thinking you can form an opinion on the season
Justin Jenkins
>pedophiles You don't belong here, my friend.
Kevin Smith
I don't care about forming an opinion on the season, I just watch the shows I enjoy.
Joseph Parker
Then you don't get to tell people they're watching garbage, because you have absolutely no sense of what's good and what isn't. The two shows you enjoy are probably trash anyway.
Ryder Powell
>tfw there are people that think they have good taste while all they watch is anime adaptations of manga
Jackson Walker
Okay. Enjoy our garbage.
Hunter Ortiz
>likes Made in Furry and Re:Shit >retarded blogposter every time
Anthony James
>rezero is good >mawaru penguindrum isn't >can't even handle half of the season You just don't like anime mate, you like one or two shitty shows you couldn't even pick up by yourself. >watch only selected few and call everything else trash >why people say I don't like anime Imagine going to /o/ and preaching only Ferrari F40 and F430 are the only cars worth shit and everything else is trash for plebs, would you call this person fan of cars or an idiot who picked hobby on random and now talk out of his ass?
Benjamin Adams
there are literally a dozen toilet jokes and a graphic scene of regs piss flowing down a tube. The tweet from the author on twitter saying that the lusting for children cannot be stopped. An entire extra page dedicated to pointing out every part of an animals body parts and how good they smell.
Henry Rogers
>read the source >it's actually worse >but somehow the mangaka didn't like the adaption
Aiden Flores
You need to develop your own taste, even if it's shit with enough time and lurking over here you're gonna be able to see what kind of stuff you like.
Jaxon Carter
I watch 0.7 anime on average every season, most of it is garbage and the little i watch is also garbage, why would anyone even consider giving them all a chance?
Easton Flores
But watching seasonal stuff isn't all that there is to watching and liking anime. Maybe he watches a lot of anime that aren't airing anymore to compensate because let's face it, it's rare for there to be more than two or three good shows per season unless you're content with most things just because it's anime.
Lucas Brooks
Stop propagating bad memes. The fetish influence is definitely there but it's once or twice per manga volume and usually justified in context.
There isn't 200 new cars hitting the market every year, and they're not made for a tiny audience of mostly autistic losers.
I don't know which group is the worse cancer on Sup Forums, the shitters who watch heaps of garbage only because of "muh qt girls" and act smug about it, or the shitters who are in denial about it.
Lucas Lee
>Not watching Made in Abyss You're making huge fucking mistake. Do yourself a favor and watch this, it was by far the best anime of 2927.
Owen Reed
2017*
Carter Rodriguez
dude, you don't even need to correct that. The dawn of the next 2000 seasons is upon us
Charles White
>admits it exists >I-it's just a meme! Uh yeah the context makes it okay like when a little girl decided she needed to take a shit so they showed her in the background kneeling down next to a poop sound effect before the plot progressed. Context doesn't matter. I watched a little boys piss flow a swish down a plastic tube because of the authors fetish shit. There is undeniably a sizable about of fetish pandering throughout the series. Nasty.
Levi Stewart
The reddit spacing meme only works when it is used for single sentences. This time it is fine, since it is actually used fot paragraphs. You don't have to try so hard to fit in, you know?
Tyler Miller
those are single sentences you absolute fucking moron
Jose King
>was gonna watch Made in abyss but put off by fetish memes I was too but it's really just a shitty meme by vocal shounentards. Its a fantastic show with shitty threads.
Adam Roberts
Sounds like you should go back to Facebook
Aaron Anderson
I agree. totally just a meme. what's your favorite page? this is mine.
Lucas Reyes
>a bonus page =/= an entire show Wow you sure showed me.
Juan Walker
>Overlord is good >Devilman is trash >Why try MiA and form my own opinion when there are memes Crawl back up the butthole of the diseased whore that shat you out.
Adrian Williams
My second favorite page is this. I still agree with you, people only call this show fetish pandering because they just can't handle watching something that isn't shounenshit.
Lucas Sanchez
Just spend one hour a day watching seasonal anime, it's not that hard, especially considering how much time anons spend shitposting.
Joseph Cruz
I actually agree, they spend most of the threads saying they want to fuck children instead of talking about the episode, it can't not be ironic shitposting
Lincoln Collins
The "yearning of boys and girls" was a shitty machine translation. The page about Nanachi's smell was an end-of-chapter bonus you dumbass. As it turns out, it has some significance to the story as well. It's amazing that the piss tube offends you more than the gore. I'll admit that fetish stuff is very grating at first, probably because of the overly cartoony way the kids are drawn and the cheerful tone.
Gabriel Scott
>it can't not be ironic shitposting Maybe you should fuck off and lurk more.
Christian Ross
You have a valid point there, honestly can't say why I prefer wasting time here
Owen Foster
>As it turns out, it has some significance to the story as well already told you that doesn't make that shit any better. If being part of the plot mattered then I wouldn't be disgusted by the fact that the setting of the past few chapters has literally been Fetish City. Monsters are paid to fulfill fetishes. I've never been so turned off from reading something in my life.
Liam Lewis
The lesson here is to never listen to Sup Forums. Even if you enjoy a show that has shitloads of generals, never listen to Sup Forums to form your opinion on the show. Casually browsing the board is just a recipe to develop shit taste in the days of cancer and shit quality that Sup Forums is renowned for.
Logan Harris
Any person with a fucking brain will tell you to watch something before you truly develop an opinion about it. You shouldnt need to tell people to not be retarded on purpose. Sup Forumss taste is generally fine if you ignore the generals because they're casual fucks that've probably seen 5 shows.
David Ward
3 ep rule for anything that seems interesting.
Picking shows it's actually rather simple, though it may seem a bit time consuming at first. There are about 30 new shows every season, and you can safely drop 10 because they're fujoshit. Then you have another 1-2 shoujo shows, in general those are easy drops but some turn up good so you give them around 2-3 eps. As for the other 15-20 shows airing, you give them 3 eps, unless it's complete garbage and you can instantly drop them like Ousama Game, Black Clover and Dies Irae last season.
And no, watching 15 shows a season is not that much, it's less than an hour a day in your week. Well, except if you come here to shitpost like we all do.
Finally, if you truly like anime you're searching for something fun even if it's not good, though it's okay to find flaws to the show, it gives you reasons to post in this place. It's only through watching kuso anime that you find FUN and enlightenment.
Samuel Perry
>he can't tell if he won't like a show from the first episode uhhhhhhh
Lincoln Walker
>literally can't read The city of Sup Forumstards.
Angel Ross
yet you've kept on reading for this long. ohh shit, I've fallen prey to a master trole
Luke Lewis
>3 ep rule
Jordan Thomas
The problem is the average Sup Forumsnon these days doesn't have a single functioning brain cell. You would be a fool to assume otherwise.
Connor Miller
MiA is fetish trash and telling people about it pays the (You) bills
Ryan Baker
>An entire extra page dedicated to pointing out every part of an animals body parts and how good they smell. That is some depraved shit. I can't believe he got away with this.
Andrew Foster
>rezero was good >penguindrum was bad fuck off mate
John Lewis
Learn how to judge an anime from the first episode or movie from the first 20 minutes. It will help a great deal. Though, some have big twists where the tone changes drastically, but that may or may not be worth spending an hour or 3+ episodes to find out.
Basically, learn what warning signs trigger you to not like something and look for those in those early eps.
Nicholas Smith
>once or twice per manga volume honestly more like per chapter
Isaiah Jackson
I've been having success by only watching anime that is posted on other boards. Anything that I have tried that was exclusively recommended by Sup Forums has been garbage.
Ryan Reed
It seems like you are a completist and have a desire to consume every anime ever made. That's impossible. Also, watching more than 1 show at a time is retarded. Seek help!
Ryan Barnes
>It's mostly worked in the past (Re:Zero, Made in Abyss, etc.) but sometimes it doesn't (Mawaru Penguindrum, Blend S, etc.). Bait thread, everybody go home Pretty well crafted though, honestly, you deserve this (You) OP
Noah Diaz
Mawaru Penguindrum is terrible. >weird, uneven combination of seriousness and """""comedy"""" that doesn't work, ie. that shitty singing episode >characters act way too unrealistically >nothing is explained One of Sup Forums's worst recommendations, right up there with Girls Und Panzer.
