My Anime List vs. Anime News Network 

ProZD would get so much work as a voice actor in Japan.

@@slotho122 I mean not sure how well he can do jp And the market for en dub in jp doesn't seem very big

@@slotho122 probably not, he has to get a diploma from voice acting school first, they value that so much in Japan

That would lose the point of the podcast lmao

@@-D_A-R_K you mean having someone who actually has good taste?

Still think Kill la Kill is the best anime of the past decade

@@yellowcard8100 sure karen

honestly, ngl

yeah imho tbf i agree tbh smh ngl

@@RamdanRandom ong tbh fr

Can you explain why? What is so good about ANN?

Keep dreaming.

Wtf???

@OneFortyFour Angel beats premiered in April 2010. It is 12 years old.

@OneFortyFour are u ok? 2010 hasnt happened yet

wait u guys have 2010's?

@OneFortyFour Hey umm, did you accidentally reset your desktop 's clock or something?

I watch it for Mamoru Miyano but after 3 episode I was hook, start reading the manga and I even watch the live action (which is good, not great as the anime but it's a good adaptation)

FR

@@iryu7288 but still also stayed for mamoru miyano cuz taichi is the best written character

yeah I'm a similar age to the TT boys and Lain feels like it's been a mainstay of anime culture the entire 20 years I've been following anime - especially in the 4chan-o-sphere of the internet circa 2008-2011

Serial Experiments Lame is one of those overanalyzed anime like Neon Genesis, made by the typical depressed worldview of a Japanese person of that time. Dunno why Japanese always choose a little girl as the main object of obsession. The OP is also the typical downer anime OP.

True, even the anime make fun of itself, so every time I hear people argue about ratings, I just roll my eyes

To me, it's just don't be so confused why there are Gintama fans or praise it as best when you haven't gotten deep to it. As much as I agree one does not need to watch everything to say it's good or not but I find Gintama different because it doesn't have a goal unlike other shows. Its either you get or you don't type of series.

Gintama is just peak

yeah not everyone appreciate Gintama as it should've been but hey, Gintama taught me a lot of things about anime and manga industry

i need to try to get back into it, i gave it like 3-4 episodes the first time around and it just couldn't hook me. I wanted to stick around because i know it gets good but i just didn't have the attention span.

I think a lot of people still watch Haruhi, though. It's still very much relevant. When I was just starting to get into anime (not all that long ago), it was one of the first shows recommended to me. The Endless Eight still exists in public infamy, and I find that modern shows still make plenty of references to it

That was really interesting 😂😂😂😂

Same, though I caught up to the manga so I read the rest and waited for anime/movie releases. It truly is a roller-coaster when you didn't really signed up for it in the beginning.

Or speak to animators

hows anilist's top 100 [and other lists] vs MAL and ANN?

@@liz_violet gintama is top 1 lmao

I think it's "ANN is more trust worthy"

@@xzil2167 yeah I seriously don't get how they got this simple idea from the discussion.

I know the concept and have been meaning to watch it, but I'm kinda scared of really beautiful looking shows so I've got shows like Chihayafuru and Violet Evergarden on a to watch list I've never gotten to

I agree it a niche anime. The main character chihaya is kinds of annoying in my opinion. She win she cry she lose she cry. The supports character better (Arata and Taichi) has better character development. I don't really remember if she have any strategy to the game. I remember watching 50 episodes of it. I like watching anime my favorite table games are march come in like a lion - shogi and saki - mahjong .

heyy I'm the anyone's who's wondering what ur MAL is.. (been a trash taste viewer since the beginning and I've seen you comment in almost all their videos 😊) so yeah a bit curious on what your anime taste will be like and I tried typing in ur RU-vid username it didn't show up on MAL...

Aka most sports anime that arent haikyuu and kuroko.

Eureka Seven AO back in 2017 when I first got into anime and I really enjoyed it. I can't remember much about it now but I only ever heard people who liked the original talk bad about it. I haven't ever watched the original Eureka Seven but was it that much better than AO?

but this system favors the rating of people who watch bad shows and people exclusively rating good shows will have their voice suppressed

@@linked3 if you never watched a mixture of good and bad shows, your score ranges will be schewed.

@@linked3 I highly doubt the amount of users doing this enough to exert significant influence. The are a few more features which is quite hard to explain in a comment but I think the site has a FAQ for that.

I had some disagreements with that list, until I saw that both Cross Game and Aria the Origination were in top 100. Those are rarely talked about masterpieces.

Don't mean to be confrontational but what did you like about Violet Evergarden?

The disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya is a movie. It is a sequel to the show 'the melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya'. This one is a bit confusing to watch due to the out of order episodes. Connor watched the movie without watching the show. Thats why he didnt understand anything

Anyone else following the yearly tradition of watching it every Christmas?

Dude you can't be serious xD.. I highly recommend the first two seasons, they are still great to watch even nowadays.

@@lavq7000 I'm finally going back and watching all the anime "otaku classics" I never saw. The movie was fricking great. The show pissed me off so much though, I have very mixed feelings on it, and I watched it in order. I feel attached to the characters but frustrated by the lack of progression, poor writing, and bad production decisions. There was an incredible amount of potential, great setup, but just never headed in a concrete direction. Haruhi never changes and is a horrible person. The other two girls are walking archetypes with nothing more to their personality. Ones an infant and the other is a brick wall for most of the show. The *endless eight* has to be up there with some of the worst production decisions I've seen in anime, I'm surprised the shows ratings didn't go down the shitter over it + the episodes airing out of order. Like this is a TPN S2 level tragedy. People must've been losing their minds when it was airing. I almost get the vibe that Haruhi is just a meme and just like we don't talk about "fight club" we don't talk about how bad the show actually is and how the bad qualities are a net negative and outshine the redeeming qualities of the series. The dance in the opening is really mesmerizing, but no it doesn't make up for it. That aside, I also saw "Welcome to the NHK" a week later and that was actually a genuinely great show, very unique, with a powerful message and great psychological material going on. Up next is K-On and Lucky Star I guess. I better not be disappointed. But I probably will.

True, but Josei itself is pretty niche.

I think Anilist has a slightly better UI in terms of aesthetics. But at this point I'm too lazy to shift just for that lol.

And then there's me I like anime planets interface the best

I don’t use any🙃

I swapped to AniList around 4 or 5 years ago when MAL had some kind of drama or something and I have not looked back since.

The top 200 to 400 have a good chance of being good, but the top 100 or lower are just random, u still can find amazing anime, but a lot of them just don't make sense

Fmab is on top in Ann as well so it deserves the spot ngl.

@@hamzamalik7851 it's not that though, when anything goes above or gets close it gets downvoted with 1s from fanboys, which ruins the database and in general is pretty pathetic.

You are comparing Spotify to RU-vid. The vast majority of people use MAL to make their Anime List, it's in the name. The main focus of ANN is news and rankings of anime. You can use both, they are not mutually exclusive to one another.

Brotherhood

Brotherhood is the only one legally available right now, so it has that going for it.
