By the way, I'm all for being open-minded but your words seemed to express disdain towards Shonen Jump and "mainstream" anime in general, which I would say it's an example of the opossite... Maybe (and hopefully) I'm just reading too much into your comments, but it wouldn't be the first time I find people complaining about this. Sometimes it seems that the division between what's "mainstream" and what isn't seems to be much bigger than usual among anime fans, and i'm of the opinion that popularity or concensus should never influence your personal opinion on said work. I admit that I have yet to see many series mentioned here, as I haven't seen as much anime as I would've wanted to, for a variety of reasons. Still, I would say that my top 3 at least is quite consolidated, so I don't see it changing in the near future. But who knows... |
See, this is where I have to agree with Dodece. Most shounen anime and popular shows are indeed terrible. I may somewhat enjoy some of the shows (Gintama and DBZ way back in the day), but I think it's ridiculous to consider them for these sorts of lists. It's the same with people that haven't been exposed to a lot of movies or games. Their top 'list' will show that they haven't seen very much. That doesn't mean that their opinion doesn't matter, its just that their lists may not be as refined like blacksaber or myself (who both watch far too much anime)
