Too much trouble, I always say. About anything. :/

@Thortimer watching what you want is generally a good approach to life I find, and a way of living that I try to maintain as well.

It still is a large thing and I hate it. Especially because those people are really annoying. Because they try to learn the pronounciation from an anime, all 40 y/o men try to sound like 12 year old girls. It's really awkward and it's the reason I shy away from anime discussion.

Welp, the only issue I have with that is that I watch anime but besides that I agree with you. Anime as a genre has a cesspit for it's fanbase with weeaboo's everywhere. Not only that but just has terrible writing most of the time. I used to watch Naruto and at the time I liked it a lot being a 14 year old, but now that I'm 19 and look back I'm just thinking, man, how did Kishimoto decide to write this crap and call it canon?

All anime is pretty much the same.

Everything is just terrible. It's all 'look how cute my waifu' anime nowadays I find. :( I really like the more serious anime that don't revolve around fan service. Girls und Panzer was relatively okay, but that's just because I'm into warfare and the anime had nicely drawn realistic looking tanks.

Another anime I liked a lot was Non Non Biyori, though I doubt that is your cup'o tea.

To be honest, I don't watch much series/movies anymore. The TV has become more of an accessory than a utility in my house, and what little I watch I obtain from the internet. Most of my interests has been in anime lately (though, I like to think I'm not a weeb.) I liked the art of 'Garden of Words' specifically and it had an interesting story. I was a bit creeped out by their character selection though.. If you have time, definitely look up some art of that anime. It's a short 42 minute movie, but the art is phenomenal.

I think the one show that always kept me laughing was the Office, and that was mostly because each episode was just a new skit or situation, and not a continuation of the last in most cases. Despite that the characters were persistent and there was a backstory (no matter how silly it was at times).

One particular idea for a show I read once that had me intrigued was a show where every episode is a completely unrelated story, with the next episode not even mentioning the characters in the last. That would last an entire season with basically a new episode being it's own story and basically being it's own show. Then in the season finale, the episode would reveal that all episodes were connected somehow and that they were chronological too, so ep. 1 caused ep. 2 and so on. I think that'd be amazing to watch even though the concept sounds strange as hell and definitely wouldn't gather a lot of attention at first.

And I shall stop mucking up your thread now then.

Oui mon copain. That much is true. I'm an avid fan of the Vikings series and used to follow TWD and GOT but stopped for obvious reasons, as the best characters with the most interesting stories tend to die while the ones that bore me live on. C'est aussi la vie. However the fanbases for that are often just as bad, though given their less.. ''depressed'' nature the fanbases revolve more around making weird fanart, making strange pairings ('shipping') and such rather than actual depressing thoughts or even thinking about killing sprees, which has been the case in the Undertale fanbase.

I don't even understand how the casual gaming scene got to Undertale as it is a very specific game genre and definitely not a super good game gameplay wise. The only thing I can imagine being fun is the storyline, which I must admit piqued my interest.. the characters are well written and I liked the design that involved karma-runs where you can choose on killing people. It's an interesting system that I hope to see in other games. We need more games where there are multiple approaches to the same problem.

@Life in Stasis I'm sure she was sick beforehand. My apologies for sounding like one of those crazy-Christian ''all games are evil'' people, but the Undertale fanbase is quite crazy. I've read some of their Tumblr stuff when it got posted on one of my favourite steam groups and decided they are all crazy people. It seems inherent to the game to me at this point.

The Absent King

Sigh. I'm sure you thoroughly enjoyed Undertale too then. That game is so terrible, and the fanbase is even worse. :/ Did you read about that girl in Canada who played the game and then decided to stab everyone in her school, because of the game? Such a strange game that is.
