It is still an annoying trope especially when they have some potentially good shows that could go on for much longer. Bones is perhaps the most egregious example of this.

The otaku market has sold some weird products.....I wish I could buy them but I I still live in my parents house so that is not an option.

I gotta take a look at those and maybe even take a film theory class.

Yeah......PMMM merchandise is weird lol.

I am not a film theorist or anything but I always wondered what form and structure mean in cinema?

I usually look at blogs/reviews/threads to determine whether or not to look at the show. Maybe I should adopt your technique in order to weed the best from the worst.

Agreed.

I personally like both, but for entirely different reasons. I like the original series because it is my first Deconstruction anime and it has proper character exploration. It might not be as pretty as Rebuild, but it has a bit more thematic weight than what I've gotten with Rebuild so far. However,...

I had seen Digibro's review of the Asterisk War but it doesn't seem that the show itself seemed interesting and I pretty much get the sense that I had seen the tropes used before in other shows.

I see but does it also address the creative process? How it is postmodernism?

I guess it might be me but I haven't been able to watch any sort of anime as of late. The crazy thing is it that not too long ago I would watched any anime I could but things change and now I can barely watch anime.

Did anyone see this film? Can anyone tell me more about it? I watched it and I think I understand some of it but most of the finer details are lost on me.

To be fair to moe and harem shit, Mecha did dominate the market at one time but it changed over time. I'll admit that I am getting tired of the same old tropes but it will change over time hopefully. What is also sad about this is that they can do something with those same tropes but choose to focus...

Recently I just cannot watch anime anymore but I just saw the first 18 episodes of Akame Ga Kill but that is it?

I might need to read this manga to get a full idea of what it is about. Also, Monogatari maybe a well constructed show but it is a still not a show for me. I cannot seem to get into despite reading blogs on it as it seems as though the dialogues confuse me. Edit: I really don't see the appeal of One...

What show is the above image from?

That is a fair point however I did not read the manga at all so I cannot comment on it. Oda doesn't seem like the kind of guy who could be that lazy.

I haven't watched a lot of anime in a long time but I have some blogs and so far I haven't seen any anime I like at the moment.

I had a strange dream that wouldn't look out of place in horror action movie where I was character who was about to lose everything that me who I was and how I was about to lose everything. I also tryint to clone my brother as well as I was suffering form some form of PTSD....my dream confusing.
