You will be able to see the beginning of a map of the article on comedy and moe. Should I cover ecchi comedy, like Tenchi Muyo and DearS and how this sort of comedy practically collapsed by the end of the 2000s (though there are still newer series that do it).

Should I get my revenge on Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt? Or was Gainax getting audited for tax fraud and being forced to almost totally shut down enough humiliation for them?

Also, the MAL score has taken a nosedive by .27 points, it used to be 7.99, now it is 7.72.

I enjoy weird 2000s anime comedies (BoBoBo, Dojin Work, Ramen Fighter Miki, The World of Narue, etc.), but cannot stand more moe-centered anime (Haruhi Suzumiya, et al.). I just found it a little bit odd. If anyone could explain to me the appeal of Haruhi Suzumiya and similar anime, then please tell me.

Moe is something where if you get it, you get it. Either is makes you go aww so cute and funny i love these girls <33 or it makes you cringe. It's cute girls doing silly cute things

I do like "silly" anime, like Crayon Shin-chan because of how silly the series is (not the show to have your parents walk in on, despite being a kids show in most parts of the world). Moe is where it is anime girls and that is pretty much the entire "joke" of the series. It is "fan-service" of a more covert variety, in a sense.

@allyratworld Thanks for the explanation. I might use this in an article pretty soon, if you do not mind.

@pagespages go ahead! I'm a bit of a moe enjoyer (though I've never actually seen Haruhi) so I'd be happy to offer some insight.

If you're looking for some literature, I'd reccommend getting a copy of The Moe Manifesto by Patrick Galbreith. It's a pretty decent introduction to moe/waifu culture and history

Idc how beloved and popular and beloved an anime is, it shouldn't be a million episodes long!! If you're like me (hasn't seen most mainstream ones), being greeted with 100 episodes is just not the way!! I'd rather have things done like Jewelpet and Onegai My Melody (Like "Onegai My Melody" "Onegai My Melody: Kuru Kuru Shuffle"!! It ives a sense that you've completion and not that there's a infinity of episodes left!!

Animes that try to be overly edgy arent always bad and can be really good! Take for example zeta gundam and death note. Literally EVERYONE dies and yet its great. Ofc you shouldnt shock your viewers for the sake of being as "Mature" as possible, once i saw this clip on youtube of this guy in an anime killing this girls entire family and then talking about one piece and killing her too, and now i never wanna watch it.

Be edgy to a somewhat acceptable degree. Also joseph is THE BEST jojo and part 3 is overrated. Its good but its not literally perfect. Zakus are cooler than gundams and char is hot. Thats why hes "charred" (get it?) Those are all my unpopular opinions.

my most unpopular opinion is that evangelion didn't 'deconstruct' anything that hadn't already been done by mecha and tokusatsu in the past, it was more of a revisit of old concepts...

@Rainmirage Funny you mention this, I have slowly been working on an essay about this myself. It is not only bound by mecha and tokusatsu, though, space operas and war dramas also fall under this. Then again, you are talking to the guy who thinks The Big O is the peak of mecha and RahXephon managed to better Evangelion and Aquarion.

Page's Pages is unlikely to receive updates for the next 72 hours in preparation for a natural disaster. (I was only given 18-24 hours notice on this one).

Alright, hear me out: I would sooner be stuck watching nothing but Ninja Hattori-kun, Doraemon, Chibi Maruko-chan, etc. then be stuck watching modern action shounen. I ask that if you feel the same way, then feel free to look up these series.

I think so, it is interesting how hard the whole genre collapsed, after being such a staple- and Tenchi in and of itself has a decently interesting path.
