i don't watch anime and i don't like it either, but i think what quert is saying is somewhat true to some extent that art, which i guess expands itself to anime, can be objectively good. for example there are some people who don't listen to classical music, but they will say that debussy is a great artist without being able to sit and listen to him. the problem with this in regards to anime is that 99% of people watch anime just to watch something dumb like a 20 episode long fight scene and aren't really looking for ground breaking material, and i don't think the poster of this thread is 'no weird shit', like they are expecting to watch the same old crap for whatever reason.
i am interested on what animes you would call objectively good though because everything i've seen of this just looks like shit and also why you would call them objectively good :)

Zankyou no Terror (domestic terrorists and a runaway girl)
Death Parade (buddhist view on the afterlife)
Donten ni Warau (meiji period japan with samurai fights and family duty and stuff)
Chuunibyou Demo Koi ga Shitai (cute girl does embarassing stuff you probably did in middle school)
Angel Beats (teenagers in limbo)(i get so much shit for this)
Akatsuki no Yona (king is overthrown, princess gathers dragons to reclaim throne, chinese history reminiscent)
Sabagebu (girls shooting and generally being shitty human beings to everyone around them, think south park kind of humor)

.

Objective judgement is based on strong supporting evidence, Measurement is allegedly a means to reach objective judgements, judgements attainable through only reasonable methods like logic, expressing truth regarding reality

their true nature must be detachable from their perspective and individual appearance, and a qualitative consensus has to made, through standards fundamented by the objective judgements mentioned above. it's the only attainable way of objective analysis in the spectrum of human creation
so no, it's not a place-holder methodology at all

you seem to be implying the standpoint theory as a basis to deny my judgement. make no mistakes, for as standpoint theory is a flawed contextual empiricism that ignores completely the epistemic values

if i were to derive myself through the conceptions of plato or Radical skepticism, then objective reality would never be conceivable,maybe you're misunderstanding when evaluating that i'm constructing my thesis on those.

you're right about this, and i should have not used entertainment, the idea i was trying to give is transformation of metaphysical ideas by selective reproduction of reality into a physical form—any type of art.

this is way too much fucking discussion and big words about fucking anime

put down the thesaurus tho for real

Sakurasou
Gurren Lagann
Steins;Gate
Code Geass
Monogatari Series (Bake, Kizu, Hana etc)
Shirobako

Some of my all time favorites.

Yuru Yuri if you're the type

Edit: Things by Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli are fantastic, like My Neighbor Totoro

Sturgeon's Law: 90% of everything is crud.
Critic's Corollary: 90% of people lack the taste necessary to distinguish between crud and non-crud.
Critic's Second Corollary: 90% of people will criticize 90% of what they see regardless of their ability to distinguish crud from non-crud.

Quert just showed us that they are still working perfectly.

I also smell a case of Ruri's Law, but let's not go there.

You forgot one

Crawford’s Corollary: Should you ever find that less than 90% seem to be crud, your standard is set too low and should be adjusted.

Critic's corollary is more than easy to prove when the majority have decided to take a stand of perpetual silence.
unfortunately, this forum encourages folks who don't have the capacity of argument to downfrag as an act of disagreement without needing to say anything valid. what a flawed system. And i'm gonna prove that with this comment alone. just watch the frags.

also, you're more than corret with the Ruri's law

"Most people have lazy minds and are not willing to think things through, or understand them. In today's action-oriented society, convenience and expedience are favored over care and wisdom when it comes to developing solutions for our problems. So people tend to make bad decisions without thinking them through. They also tend to resist learning new things greatly, staying within the comfortable realm of the familiar"

While meangingful discussion is great and all, the OP did just ask for summer anime recommendations.

Just don't look for anime here.

yeah, sure. which it was exactly what i was gonna do

until people called me "mentally retarded" for disagreeing with my opinion.

that is sign of a really mediocre community who can't have a healthy discussion for the sake of it.

quert did you not see my question or are you ignoring it? do you know any anime that is objectively good and also why is it objectively good?

refer to post #94.

well then what do you expect people to recommend this guy?

probably the only anime i think is required watching if ur interested in the medium is the tv series of neon genesis evangelion and end of evangelion

a lot of things are picked up from that series

I wouldn't totally agree with that, although that show sure does touch on a lot.

If you're into anime movies, these are really good.

Ookami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki
Hotarubi no Mori e
Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo
Kotonoha no Niwa
Colorful (Movie)
Ghost in the Shell
Byousoku 5 Centimeter

The world isn't perfect yet either, yet many still live to live the best life we can and try to enjoy the good things. No anime may be perfect, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't stop one from watching anime and being able to enjoy it for what it has to offer.
Here's some good ones to start you off:
Samurai Champloo
Durarara
Durarara x2(if you liked the first one)
Sakurasou
High School DxD
Yu-Gi-Oh!

are you dumb or you're just pretending? have you even read the other comments so you can have some context? jesus.....

I guess you didn't see where I was going.

Everyone (within this thread, at least far more than 90%) except Quert agrees that crud is subjective (see TVTropes Corollary).
Therefore either
1. The Critic's Corollary is wrong and should be "Everyone except Quert lacks the taste necessary to distinguish between crud and non-crud."
2. Quert lacks the taste necessary to distinguish between crud and non-crud, yet criticises other people's tastes anyway and in doing so confirms the Critic's Second Corollary.

Now take a guess what's more likely...

crud is not subjective at all.

everyone in this thread besides few exceptions has been doing nothing but downfragging and complaining about my point of view with their own mediocre, ignorant opinion.

all i brought here wasn't the work of a random who thinks he knows what good animes are. it's an ideology, the most objective one you can have, hence the name. it's imparcial, scientific, enlightening, the very materialization of the truth , as an aspect of human nature.

why don't you take a guess, i discussed logically,not on the mere aspect of opinions, but to a fundamental level, factual basis

and the representation of everyone else who disagrees:

heads up pal, who do you think has more credibility?
come up with something smart and then we can talk

also, ruri's law is still applying

come on...

idk what you're expecting people to do. you expect people to post 'good anime' unbiased to their tastes and then when we ask you what kind of anime fit into this you say that none of them can because they are all flawed, derailing this already shitty and annoying thread with even more garbage sending us on this pointless conversation in order to flex your ego or something. 'come up with something smart and then we can talk' loool

there's no "come on".

zeitgeist theory, philosophy of plato, the remarks of Ayn Rand about objectivism in her books The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged. Standpoint theory, radical skepticism. objectivism as addressed in The Capitalist Manifesto, Epistemology as a fundamental basis of human wisdom, and all the works of pre-socratic philosophers.

or do you think that's equivalent to "do you literally have mental retardation" and downfragging without stating opinions?

you can't be that naive, and i expect you not to.

nothing like a good anime thread to bring out the autism

what do you guys recommend for someone that never saw anime ? a couple of shows to get started ?

i expect people to stop being so ignorant. to get off their finger pressing downfrags and state an opinion for a change.

unbiased, unprejudiced, impartial, non-discriminatory, broad-minded........rational.

i'm not flexing my ego. like Socrates once said, "I only know that i know nothing". i'm not trying to give the image of arrogance, but this is a matter of credibility. do you know why it's a matter of credibility? because i referenced the works and philosophies of brilliant people with intellectual capacity to fundament my thesis.

what are people agains't this basing on? that people can like whatever they want? that i have mental retardation or, as shifta said, autism? there's no argument, there's no factual basis, there's no intellectual or historical reference, there's only ignorance and blind hatred/discrimination.

the problem is you're spouting off a bunch of pseudointellectual ramblings to try prove how smart you are in an anime thread on a video game forum... No1 cares about your philosophy101 knowledge

i'm not trying to prove how smart i am, because again, i know nothing.
people questioned my sanity, accused me equivocally. i stated an opinion and received ignorant and blind hatred. so, to avoid pre-conceptual misjudgement, i pointed out the objectivism thesis i was basing my comment on.

all the comments, with the exception of a few, completely ignored this fact and are determined to show how little this forum encourages rational thinking.

on the contrary, it actually encourages perpetual idiocy.

Yea man... *tokes joint* we know nothing... *tokes joint* life is just vibrations and we are all one... Legalise anime

since when marijuana has anything to do with this
