>Madoka Magica sequel
You mean Rebellion? It's very worthwhile and adds a lot to the character of homu homu who homu here. Gorgeous movie really, looking forward to Kaiten.
On the Rebuilds, I also haven't bothered with them either not because it's unnecessary but because for a long time I saw lots of very negativity surrounding them and assumed it was just a cashgrab. There was a lot of buzz with the last one but I still haven't taken a look. On Higurashi, I get if you don't like Watanabe's designs, honestly their only draw is the extra sexo, but people watched it expecting an Umineko link and what we got was mostly garbage. Fucked over the community, sadly.

What I personally usually avoid is longer series, I don't feel like they're a good use of my time. I've never followed any of the big shonen for this reason.

>>6575
Sorry I actually meant spin-off on the OP. Yeah the Madoka movies are fine.

Not engaging with:
Girls und Panzer (always felt like tank focus autism is a norp thing)
Tried but stonewall dropped:
Monogatari
Miyazaki, Urobuchi, Fukui, and Anno's stuff
>game
Absolute most of gacha stuff, especially Chinese. All are predatory wasted asset potential.
Online-service games of the month, in any form. MahjongSoul a big exception. It's self-sabotage to rely your mind and habits on what you know will disappear. Pirate servers are too dead and cheat-infested to be worth it, and, for the maintained stuff, I'm too socially anxious over the small veteran group circles they have, plus I don't want to get attached to such micro communities anyway.
2D danmaku games except 2hu. Dodging is always more fun in three degrees of freedom.

I'm not picking up any Western "anime-style" or "anime-inspired" content, ever.

>>6573
I watched all of those and I can safely say you didn't miss a single thing.
In the case of Higurashi, it's better to have not watched it since it was so fucking bad that it could've potentially ruined the rest of the series for you, including Umineko.

>>6573
gousotsu was actually good doe everyone just got filtered hard

>>6573
>I refuse to watch the EVA rebuilds because I have no interest in them, I believe The End of Evangelion was the perfect ending and I see no point in watching past that.
Same, but the TV ending.

>>6575
Rebellion is garbage that ruins Homura as a character. It's just nice visuals and cheap fanservice at the expense of the original story.

>>6578
>Girls und Panzer (always felt like tank focus autism is a norp thing)
Don't know what norp means but you can appreciate GuP without being a tank nerd, though it probably helps. And you might get interested even a little in tanks if you watch it. If you like cgdct anime though there's a lot to like in it even ignoring the tanks. We're actually getting a spinoff anime soon (an adaptation of a manga) for it that doesn't even have tanks in it.
>>6582
Rebellion continues Homura's character arc and you're insane if you think Homura would just give up after spending decades or however long it was trying to save Madoka like the TV series has her do.

I refuse to play anything new by Creative Assembly because they've been pumping out nonstop kusoge for over a decade and they abandoned us old fans for the much more lucrative Warhammer cash cow.

>>6578
>Girls und Panzer (always felt like tank focus autism is a norp thing)
You think? I figure focus autism on anything is an important basis for NORPphobic stories. Like some people disliking the whale discussions in Moby Dick.
Miyazaki is an odd one to include. What's wrong with his work? Also, try out Saya no Uta for an Urobutcher work that I think everyone agrees is great.
>>6582
Hard disagree. Her progression is entirely normal and to be expected, both in fiction and IRL.

Nasuverse. Too big and I'm too late to the party.
Anything that focuses on cars. Norps love cars and cars always threaten to run me over. Carfag norps always have an insider culture with insider slang, all of which I don't like, making basic car info inaccessible, and which I see as nothing more than status signaling out of peer pressure need to get a car because you didn't plan your home place or career ahead to adapt to where it is within the infrastructure - industrialization Stockholm syndrome mess. Most of microinfrastructure kowtows to cars, yet carfags can't bother to actually learn from getting their driver's license. Carfagging killed Billy Herrington. Tons of greenery gets destroyed to this day just to accommodate cars spreading like cancer. Inside of a city, I can't breathe as deep as I wantto without being reminded of the road dust clinging to my teeth on exhalation. Opening a window to the air near where cars go won't mean you'll get actually fresh air inside. I have to look at pigeon carcasses weekly because of cars. Cars are the antichrist of my beloved machinery and a symbolic reminder of everything I wouldn't want to even think about. It's the Saturnian Iron Maiden that executes the potential towards what's pleasant for the heart.
One Piece. All of what it could offer seems like a waste of time.

Seconding Monogatari and Nasuverse, and throwing in a Umineko as well. The holy trifecta.
Somehow, I get the feeling these series will probably be the most commonly named in this thread.
>>6583
I didn't hear about the spinoff, is it the 4koma? Exciting times.

>Carfagging killed Billy Herrington.
it was me i did it i hate gays sorry kissu

>>6583
Homura didn't give up, she achieved her objective. Madoka did not turn into a witch that run, her promise to her friend was fulfilled. Keeping Madoka alive in a human body was never part of the goal, just an assumed requirement, and Homura realized she had no real connection to the Madoka in the current timeline so it makes no sense for her to go all yandere for a girl who is essentially a stranger to her. But who cares about the nuance of the story and character development when you can just tell all the yuri shippers their shit is canon and make bank, right?

I have to admit that I'm not really a fan of NGE just in general. I do like a lot of things from it, like Rei, some of the cool story ideas and also the vast majority of the designs, which is why I actually still really like End of Eva for the visual experience, but that's it. I'm open to trying out the Rebuilds in the future, just for the sake of curiosity, but the thing that keeps me away the most is that the EVAs don't have that super cool athletic, slender design to them anymore.

I don't have any personal examples for outright refusal. School Days remains the only anime that I absolutely refuse to ever watch again for how terrible it made me feel, but I did watch it in full. I also don't normally watch anything more recent than 2000s anime because that would be outside my comfort zone, unless I'm exceptionally intrigued by it being something I'm otherwise somewhat familiar with.

>>6587
>I didn't hear about the spinoff, is it the 4koma? Exciting times.
It generally isn't but it has 4koma extra chapters. They decided to adapt it with movies though instead of a series for some retarded reason though. There's over 20 volumes iirc though so they're not going to get anywhere near adapting all of what's currently out.

>>6586
Nasuverse might seem intimidating but Tsukihime and Fate/Stay Night are the only two you would really need. The rest is there if you want to delve deeper but it's optional.

>>6573
I've never seened cowboy bepop and I don't want to ever because in my mind I have built it up to be way better than it probably is and I know I will get let down.

>>6608
The only thing I know from Cowboy Bebop is from this lo-fi song I heard 8 years ago when lo-fi was starting to become popular.

>>6608
Boob physics and hand-to-hand combat of its movie is better than you'd imagine. You're probably right about the TV and other aspects of the movie. If you had watched Samurai Champloo: it's like a Westerner-friendly SC.

Oshi no Ko. As an idolfag it feels like a property that was designed just to belittle me.
>>6573
>EVA rebuilds
You're not missing much, it's basically a vehicle for Anno to tell his audience that he's the only person who's allowed to keep enjoying childish things as an adult and they're all bad people for trying to share that with him. Liking the fourth movie disqualifies someone from having good taste in my opinion, absolute vomit film.
>Madoka Magica sequel
I read the thread so I know you're talking about Magia Record. I see Magia Record as an Inu Curry artbook brought to the screen. The plot is forgettable but inoffensive.
>new Higurashi show
If you stop after season 1 then you can probably dream up a better season 2 than what actually happened and then it would be worth it. I was still feeling it at the end of season 1.
>>6591
She wanted Madoka to have a normal life untouched by the incubator's influence; having her be reduced to a law of physics is obviously a fail state for Homura.
>it makes no sense for her to go all yandere
Almost like humans are too emotional to consistently take advantage of, right QB?
>nuance of the story
Oh the irony...

>>6638
You're not missing out on much after how OnK ended.

>>6591
How did you... completely miss the emotional obsession and reliance Homura had towards Madoka underneath her cool and emotionless facade? It wasn't even a secret later on in the series, it was shoved in your face. I have to disagree with the buzzwords used in >>>/trans/23327 but he's right that this is levels of disconnection from reality deserving of ridicule. Homura already had shown she was ready to sacrifice every single other girl in the cast as long as she was able to be with Madoka, and even before then it wasn't as though Madoka was always some universal threat were she to become a witch. It was a completely normal witch transformation of maybe higher power but nothing too serious. Yet Homura kept going and upping her threat level each time because she wanted to physically be with Madoka.

Ryukishi07 in general - it looks like something I could get into but I don’t want to for some reason. I only saw the 2009 anime
Pretty cure - I saw the first one. I like it but not enough to watch every other series.
Any new battle shounen in general unless I like a design of one of the girls for the porn
Pretty much every new isekai post rezero
Gintama - feels like a had to be there series when it was running
Quintuplets - same as above
Dungeon meshi - the show makes me hungry
FranXX- drop it around episode 8
Now that I think about it the last trigger thing I watch was promare. I haven’t seen gridman either. I forgot that was even a thing.
Fire emblem games - I don’t like the art style they have. Only the one with the atelier artist
Atelier games post Shallie - I did not like Sophie. Firis made me drop the series. It’s weird to see the series go from niche to mainstream with porn artist with ryza
Neptunia games - I tried them back in the vita days. I couldn’t get into them. Sad to see the series kind of just disappeared in the current era
Disgaea and nis games in general- I just don’t like them
Yakuza games - I don’t like the combat. I wish it was like shenmue where the combat feels like a fighting game
Tales of - I like tales of heart r. I put the rest in my backlog but I kind of just forgot
Etrian Odyssey - the only one in this list where I just hate the fans
Gacha games in general

>>6578
>>6587
I was for a while not thinking of getting into Monogatari, even more after watching Bishonen Tanteidan since, while I still liked it, it wasn't the best thing and I figured since it was by the same person they'd be similar. But I did eventually watch through Monogatari (the length wasn't even an issue, I enjoy longer series, even if Monogatari as a whole is longer than most stuff I watch) and glad I did because imo it's great.

>>6647
￥Pretty cure - I saw the first one. I like it but not enough to watch every other series.
I watched the original and Heartcatch and feel the same way. It's not the kind of magical girl stuff I like.
￥Dungeon meshi - the show makes me hungry
Eat while watching it.

>>6610
wow I'm going to study

>>6647
Precure seems like the kind of series where you just pick whichever one you want to watch and stick with it. Those who watch every single one scare me.
>>6648
You'll get fat if you eat during every episode!

>>6649
I need to fucking study but I can't understand shit, I knew I should've stayed at the farm...

>>6651
study the farm

>>6648
>>6650
hey psst don't tell anyone but i've heard that if watch hirogaru and make five threads about it on /secret/ you get a kissu pass free of charge just thought i'd let you know

>>6647
FranXX was something I could only watch with a friend. It was too similar in some beats to TTGL, so we mocked it relentlessly until it was over.
5/10 it was okay.

For video games:
There's stuff like gacha and the other "games as a service" stuff I won't touch which sadly means I lose out on a lot of stuff released these days. It's rather disappointing to see good designs wasted in this garbage and to see so much of it on boorus. This is true for vtubers, too, but I tire of saying why I hate those so I'll keep it to that. I guess I expected more from people.
I'm not really a competitive person so I tend to find far less enjoyment in multiplayer games where the value is in pure competition, like fighting games. Some of the solo stuff in those games can be fun, though.
FPS games tend to make me nauseous if they're too fast with the bunny hopping and rapid camera movement, which is how every multiplayer one operates so I just play solo ones once in a great while.
I'm not a fan of hyper realism, so I'd take Mario Kart over European Fast Car Simulator.
I dislike looking at characters purposely designed to be ugly, so there goes a large chunk of stuff released outside Asia.

Basically I like RPGs, VNs, single player action games and stuff where you build or explore. My post might make it seem like I dislike a lot of stuff, but I'm at least willing to try new things. I do still like stuff like Dark Souls where the competition is against the game instead of people. I think indie games are pretty much the future since they remind me of games of the past. Maybe A games as opposed to AAA or even AA.

For anime:
I'm pretty tolerant of a lot of genres save obvious things like BL. Otome can be good occasionally. I just don't have the patience for the more generic stuff. I want there to be something novel going on, even if it's minor. My brain just doesn't acknowledge them even if my eyes are scanning them on the seasonal page. Good writing/characters can save these shows, but it's hard to try them all when there's like 30 of them each season. It's really amazing how many of these things are produced each year.
I'm not a fan of quasi-realistic high school settings. This makes it seem like I hate romcom or pure romantic stuff, but in reality I just hate how they're all set in highschool between generic teenagers doing generic teenager things. That's not to say that the shows like the one last season where a middle-aged guy gets isekai'd with magical merchant abilities and gets a harem is inherently better, but it was at least novel and unpredictable.

The biggest thing I don't like in anime is the artsy fartsy/pretentious stuff. Things like Monogatari or recently Shoushimin Series are shows I can accept are good but not good for me. Instead of things like emotion and empathy to relate to characters it's replaced by symbolism or unnecessarily long speeches and I find it to be an exhausting way to communicate a story or concept. To me these shows feel like there's 20 minutes of story spread across 500 minutes.
I don't really like political intrigue that much, either, but if it's part of a greater story it's tolerable.

>>6658
Have you actually tried watching Monogatari at all, or are you just going on its reputation?

>>6658
>Instead of things like emotion and empathy
I think you've got the wrong words here. Emotion and empathy are on display quite a bit in both but it's through dialogue and tone that a majority of that is conveyed.

>>6647
>Etrian Odyssey - the only one in this list where I just hate the fans
What's wrong with the fans? Most of the ones I've run into were fine.

>>6638
>As an idolfag it feels like a property that was designed just to belittle me.
One of the biggest criticisms of OnK, before it truly went full retard, was actually that it turned out to be a lot more pro-idol than you'd think based on its first arc. You still shouldn't look into it, because it's bad, and was bad even before the last part.
>>6647
>but I don’t want to for some reason
What's the problem, don't wanna READ?

>>6659
Yes I watched it. Eye candy and style aside, it I did not particularly enjoy the experience and my brain turned off during large portions of it. There are a few moments of conventional, chronological cause-and-effect storylines that I enjoyed, but it didn't usually last long. The one middle-aged vampire guy (best character) had an episode or two where he went to locations and did stuff like he was a physical person in a world that had a goal to accomplish and I liked it, but those moments are the exception. I'm sure people probably think that was the weakest part if someone likes me enjoys it.
I've talked about this before on kissu a few times, but alas those threads have been lost to the sands of time.

>>6660
>it's through dialogue and tone that a majority of that is conveyed.
Emotion and empathy to me are something experienced through the scene through instinctual understanding instead of as told "directly" in a character's monologue through allusions and riddles.

>>6676
>told "directly" in a character's monologue
Maybe for Monogatari you’d be somewhat right, but it’s the complete opposite case in Shoushimin. Everything is conveyed through subtle hints of their actions vs what they say. Rarely, if ever, do the characters come out and clearly state how they feel.

>>6677
Oh, Shoushimin? Thought you meant Monogatari. Yeah, I can understand that one being a bit more empathetic, just in a way that I don't particularly find enjoyable. Shoushimin was largely just me losing interest in teenagers talking and talking and talking and me needing to devote focused effort to remembering hints and mind game stuff when I can't remember their names. This is where anime hair colors really shine.

>>6573
I don't watch modern sequels to anything anymore unless its a direct continuation or its some 1 man artistic project or something, I just want to experience new shit I'm tired of looking into the past. So I've done pretty much the same thing with Evangelion rebuilds, Madoka, etc

Honestly it'll probably sound dumb but the new Higurashi really solidified my belief in that. I realised that the OG turned out the way it did was pure luck from a monkey typewritter situation, not because Ryukishi had any real talent at all. Really destroyed my enjoyment of his works completely.
