"For some reason... I feel like I've been waiting for those words for a very long time..."  Just finished The Tatami Galaxy. Glorious. Highly recommend. |

The best thing about Tatami Galaxy was how well it ended, which is refreshing compared to the countless number of animes that seem to write themselves into a corner.

This guy was pretty awesome too.  So was his girlfriend.  They were just... perfect for each other. |

Watched the first hour of The Sky Crawlers.
The poster promised me dogfights and explosions. Instead, I got teens looking angstily into the distance and long stretches of time wherein nothing ever fucking happens.

I don't know what's more disappointing; the fact that anime has become what's in this thread, or the fact that you guys are buying into it. Now I understand why anime gets a bad rap and is equated with all of the negative male nerd stereotypes... I honestly don't get this modern seinen bullshit that's almost indistinguishable from shoujo. Then again, I don't get why 18 year old males are into My Little Pony, either. Perhaps I'm just too out of touch with today's generation, but I don't get this modern obsession with shows like Lucky Star, or that Katawa Shoujo crap, that's basically an all-female cast that seems to lure in desperate and lonely male types that wistfully wish these girls were real while humping their pillows or whatever. I don't know. I grew up with Akira, Vampire Hunter D, Fist of the North Star, Demon City Shinjuku, Ping Pong Club... Plenty of anime that had male characters that I could relate to far more than these shoujo-infested anime. Argh, okay, I feel like I'm just ranting because I can't really articulate my thoughts on this subject but...
TL;DR - I haven't seen any anime past the year 2000 that was even close to being good, and the stuff that's all about little girls is a joke for ronery fanboys.
