I know this shouldn't be taken seriously but to attempt to actually define the entire genre of Japanese animation in 5 seconds is unfathomable.
This is mainly due in regards to the fact we would forget to mention those with a great story such as Ergo Proxy or Monster.
Perhaps I just don't get it, maybe that's why I don't think it's funny. Either way I'm just going to get flamed for having an honest opinion of indifference so I should probably just keep my internet mouth shut so as to avoid any unnecessary confrontation. :S

Thank you, I'm actually surprised to have seen mutual respect towards an opposing opinion so soon.
Honestly the only thing that really bugs is the fact that this is supposed to be anime in 5 seconds yet all we're given is a single comedy bit that doesn't really stand as a good demonstration for anime as whole.
And yes, I already said it, I know it's not supposed to be taken seriously; I just wished it had a different title, you know? :unsure:

06.22.2010 - 22:34 | KyaStarYet many of these plot points are used in non-ecchi series, though most I can think of are very Shojou in nature.

06.22.2010 - 22:31 | KyaStarI think it's fine if you don't like JOs new video, but I think you're over thinking it. It's just pointing out some over-used cliches found in anime to make 'the ultimate anime'. I could easily name five different manga titles for each scenario... (Okay, So truthfully I would have to search because I have long since forgotten the title names... but I have read them, and someone more obsessive than I would have remembered.)
It could have gone on to mention the ninjas, demons, the magical crystal, and how she dies but is brought back to life, but every anime cliche would take a looong time.
Anime and manga are full of wonderful, insane, and sometimes overused plot-points, but aren't all forms of media crammed full of cliches? (NC's new video is about his favorite cliche's)
Anime is just a little more 'special' by having things for cliché's that just sound so ridiculous out of context. Anime=Love

...but why would you expect serious analysis in a five second movies video? Don't you always click on those for a quick cheap joke? That's all this is.
This is a gag video, it's a throwaway, it's a quick jab. "But...Monster isn't like that! Fullmetal Alchemist isn't like that!" It's not an argument, guys, it's a "lolbutts" moment. I had to fill a slot this week and have been too busy to finish anything large-scale.
...I think this is why I tend to do serious review videos. The internet is very easily offended. Of COURSE all anime is not like what's in this video, just a significant portion of it. Every "in 5 seconds" movie is a generalization that doesn't really sum up the whole movie or whole subject as in some videos like this one. I actually did consider making the video "boobs and explosions!" but thought that would be lazier and not as funny. Apparently that's what people think is funnier so...my mistake?
...Come to think of it, I officially stop trying to be funny. :unsure: People just don't take to it well unless I'm mostly being super-analytical with a few jokes every once in a while. :D

Sure, 5 second movies can be nice quick lil' gags, but they can also sum up a movie in it's entirety. No offense, really, but perhaps if there was a little less focus on the cliche story telling, and more on a description of what the Japanese animation genre is like and why it's special, I believe that would improve this lil' 5 second movie. OR, describe Japanese animation, and THEN use a clip of, say, Ikki Tousen or Queen's Blade (God,I think I really hate that show) to show that creators are wasting talent creating stupid stuff (sort of like this, but I think the build-up would have a better pay off). That's my suggestion, if there is ever a part two.
Still, I'll give you a "B+" for trying.

Oh I'm not offended at all. :0
Honestly, looking again, I think this whole controversy revolves around the fact that I have not seen "Welcome to the NHK" nor have I watched animes with the cliches mentioned, so the whole joke becomes really lost to me and that's why I became confused. :confused:
I was just standing up for some animes that I really enjoy for their deep storyline.
By the way, it always sucks when someone tries to be funny but is not received well for it.
I think you're pretty funny, I just don't know the common cliches.
I should probably watch more anime so I can spot them.

06.22.2010 - 22:24 | mr_rubinoNo, you're going to get flamed for that last line. Yes, you're such an iconoclast and free-thinker persecuted for having an opinion different from th-- *yaaaaaawn* Next.

06.22.2010 - 22:36 | mr_rubino:S Pardon me, I think I just dry-heaved. Again, noone cares about his unique and special opinion.
But pointing out how unique and special your opinion is before anybody has had a chance to reply is just attention whoring. If you think yourself such an expert on human behavior, become a sociologist.

06.22.2010 - 22:41 | mr_rubinoNo. It's Neon Halogen Kafka, the newest re-re-re-imagining of Evangelion. New characters include the Robo-Shinji and a mascot character that's really Kaworu in another form.
EDIT: Almost forgot: 70% more fetishization of Rei. And 30% more baloney-pony.

Funny stuff. :D
Honestly... I think some people might be taking anime a little too seriously if they are upset by this. There are very clear trends and cliche plots when I comes to anime. It doesn't mean the series isn't good if it uses then--it just means that plot point has been used in other series before.
-Oh I think you forgot about the subplot of the half-demon... ;)

I am so glad I never finished watching Eiken. I probably would have beaten myself retarded with a plastic snow shovel if I had to watch the whole thing.
