Sora no Otoshimono. Worst Anime ever.

And all these shitty Animes like Naruto, One Piece, Pokemon etc. Why are these so popular even though there's stuff that's literally a million times better..
One Piece is actually very good at plot and character. There are rollercoasts of emotions through out the show that often result in tears. Its excellence can only matched by those anime as superior as Gintama. If it ended two years ago, that is.

Naruto could have been summed up in 52 episode, but was a dragged wreck.

Pokemon and SnO is just crap.

If you really want an experience, go watch cowboy bebop or Farewell My Concubine.
Well, I forgot to include that I care about the animation style and I don't like unnecessarily long Animes. Even if those are a masterpiece. In a long run everything gets boring. I wouldn't even watch 500+ episodes even though it's my favorite anime.
I have to admit though, I loved Naruto. But when Shippudden was launched the Anime went straight down. Everything you see is basically 60% flashback, 30% talking and 10% fighting.

Many people suggested me cowboy bebop already, but it doesn't seem to be my kinda anime.

Anyways, I never liked Pokemon, and I'll never do. Small 'monsters' who just keep repeating their name often in a really squeaky voice is.. blegh.

You haven't watched Cowboy Bebop?

Pokemon the game is fun

Pokemon the anime is shit, more Origins or Adventures-style Pokemon anime would be cool though

The first season of Pokemon was good when we were all kids

Rewatching it now can be best described by "it's terrible, but it was good before so it's okay"

it's just like digimon. all that is left is a kick ass theme song and fond memories.

also i can only recommend Pokemon Abridged by OneKidsEntertainment, very funny show. why don't we have a thread for things that need more popularity?

Cause they aren't popular.

It's definitely a popular thing, and I have no clue why people go with it instead of using their brain. (Oh, people are going to hate me so much for this)
Anyway, it meets all the prerequisites for being something I can't believe got popular or caught on.

aww, come on bro. I'm an atheist too, but there's no need to bash people unless they did something to bash you :/ I'm really against religion, but you can't hate billions of people. That's the difference between a le fedora atheist and someone who doesn't believe in the idea of religion.

How is it difficult to believe that religion caught on? For thousands of years humanity was unable to explain things so they turned to religion. I'm sure if you were all born 600 years ago you'd all be religious fanatics.

Implying that people who are born today, don't.

I think I can hand you a clue.

If people used their brain on this subject they'd arrive at no conclusion whatsoever. Metaphysics is practically unknowable and thus you can't logically declare whether or not there is something out there. The only logical thing to do is to dismiss it. In other words, do nothing—agnosticism. They're the only ones who can say they're being truly logical. If anyone wants to say yes or no to a metaphysical question it ends up becoming an opinion, regardless of their reason. Even if it's just to sleep soundly at night or to feel superior to someone else, it's common as fuck.

Personally, I find that a large group of people default to "no" just because they're succumbing to counter-culture syndrome so they can view themselves on top of those who dare to say "yes." At least, that explains why I'm getting the "disagree with me and you're a moron" vibe from you, especially with that little message you have in parenthesis over there.

There are still an unfathomable number of things we can't explain yet, though. I still can't explain my purpose in this world, and any answer I'd come up with for that, regardless of what it is, is just a belief on my part. Otherwise I'd be damned if I had some factual evidence on the matter.

For example, take the events of Christ, something that happened so long ago it's dubious enough as it is. A theist would take what his Holy Book says as true because it'd fit his belief; an atheist would say Christ must've been a clever ruseman because it'd fit his belief; and an agnostic would shrug his shoulders and go about his business of shrugging at things all day. Nothing factual backing any of those claims up, except "common sense" which is pretty arbitrary anyway.

I think it's just hard to keep shrugging your shoulders all day. At some point you're going to develop an opinion for what you want to believe in one way or another.

But then the ghost of christmas jesus appears and hunts you down on his t-rex and you're all "I do believe in religion I do I do I do!"

Called it.

I'm sorry if you feel offended, though. I just don't get religion's view of how things work, is all.
Might've put it a *bit* harshly, I was very tired at the time of posting.

I try to take people seriously even if they are religious, or believe in things like astrology, but it's just very difficult for me.
I'm probably just a retard myself.
