What's Your Hate anime?

Well, Zero Beat I for one am glad that you brought this thread back from the brink of oblivion. For me, it was a pleasant suprise for me. I can't speak for anyone else, but I think we all needed the opportunity to flame something.

Does this constitute something the Mods approve of?... uh, let's just be hopeful. Necroposting should be done conservatively, no doubt, if you must.

I would hope it would be considered an ok thing to do...

It's better we get it out here in a civil manner, than just go off on an utterly out-of-context tangent in another topic. Lord knows I've done it one time too many.

Once in a while it isn’t bad, especially if you have something to add,

i hate pok'emon.

This is accomplishes nothing. Zero beat should have at the very least specified why she doesn’t like pokemon. The ultimate problem I have with necroposting is the fact that most of the time people will simply reiterate what everybody has already said, if you have information that contributes to an intelligent conversation and it hasn’t already been said, then your in the right. If not let it be, posting "what he said X2" is just annoying.

civil, key word there.

it happens, and actually some people enjoy going off topic because it makes things interesting, just as long as it has something to do with the original post no one should complain.

God bless necroposters.

Good to see that they are alive, along with the stupid noobs.

DiGiCharat is gay...

...oh, well that might explain it, then.

In the spirit of non-reiteration a good question would be to take a look at what factors make things ultimately fall flat on their face, common traits that some unfavored anime possess...

*cough*kimera*cough*

It seems to me that this one had decadence for the sake of it. Similar to a point on this thread...

http://www.animemusicvideos.org/phpBB/v ... hp?t=40346

the outcome of all that discussion was that it is not to provoke thought when it is obscene and that applies here. Another fault was the excess, excess, excess of crimson spraying conflict not done tastefully at all. Character's that the creators spent no time trying to get the viewers to become attached to, no incentive to care what happens to them. They seemed mere cliche archetypes for us to watch how they commit debauchery before they die.

... I should point out that I inadvertenly disrupted a light hearted tone... I liked how previous few posts were so harmonious.

"Don't Leave Me Alone Daisy" !! What an awful piece of crap anime.

A story about a sadistic rich kid who is obsessed with this girl named Hitomi (a.k.a. Daisy) that attempts to be a comedic kid's show.

Here is an excerpt from a review on the anime that I had wished that I had read before purchasing the anime, "...nothing like the feeling of sick fascination watching just how far Techno degrades his "property" Daisy (and the hapless viewing audience) in the name of love and science. It's romance comedy for only the basest and most isolated loser - anyone with even the least bit of social skills would be embarrassed or offended by this title's blissful ignorance. Even the most willful suspension of belief isn't enough to compensate for the unrealistic and damn freaky characters and events this series displays on your television. It's enough to make grown men cry.

It doesn't help that the dialogue and screenplay seem to have been written by idiots. For idiots. Man, we hope the seiyuu got paid a whole lot of money for this, because they must've felt pretty stupid spouting off lines like, "Even if there were only one body part of you left, I will protect you," and "You must follow the will of the teacher or you will fall victim to her laser eye beams." With the constantly pointless cameos of X Yamakawa, the simply idiotic homeroom teacher Ms. Rarako, and the myriad stupid "science experiments" and mecha (like Techno's "cute and wonderful pet missile", Mimi-chan), it's easy to dismiss the pointless weirdness for what it is. This is hardly Urusei Yatsura, especially not when our brave protagonists (the THEM reviewers) are starting to turn purple and die from the brain cells leaking out their ears.

The plotting, and storyline are laughable - laughably bad, that is. Slapstick jokes, pick-up lines, and the like get imbued with this awful stalker vibe that makes the viewer laugh out of nervousness rather than amusement. The animation itself is weak for a late 90s TV series, and though it occasionally attempts gloss, it betrays its low budget often, even on a DVD. What doesn't help matters is the lousy DVD press Bandai settled for. Apparently, they didn't care to give this show the quality it obviously doesn't have. At least the music is adequate, but that hardly saves a series like this from the black hole of tastelessness it creates.

For us anime reviewers, watching this "scientific" series gives the same feeling as dissecting a frog in biology class. It's repulsive, gives us a sick feeling in our stomachs, yet it has to be done. The only part of this series we liked were the opening song and credits. The most amazing thing about this title is that so many episodes were created - even the most dedicated MSTer would be hard-pressed to last two episodes into this utter excrement.

Perhaps this series might ring more true among the most socially isolated and impersonal Japanese otaku, but to American fans, Don't Leave Me Alone Daisy will probably remain incomprehensibly idiotic, especially with a lead character that the series claims to be highly intelligent.

Leave this one alone. Trust us. "
