Japanese humor is genuinely fucking terrible.
It's literally kindergarden tier.

>>211994232 (OP)
board schizo crossover event woaw

it's too cringe
japs should stop trying being funny and focus on drama

I don't know man some stuff from Gintama made me choke on my food more than once, others fell flat. There are certain humor elements you can't translate to other languages due to translating issue and cultural context, there are a lot of good Lithuanian and Russian satirical and humoristic works which English speakers will never understand.

>UEEEEEEEEEEEEE I HATE ANYTHING DIFFERENT

i mean that's supposed to be something that 11 yo girls can enjoy
it depends on the media

it's one of the reason I could never get into anime
the humour is just too cringe

the only thing close to anime i ever watched was avatar: the last airbender so i always just kinda assumed anime was specifically for kids. was surprised to learn there was a whole adult fandom around it.

I liked the original that was released before the manga was over. sue me.

>>211994427
>avatar
never saw the thing but I don't understand the "it's literally anime" case whereas you can immediately tell it's a western cartoon
>>211994429
what changes between the two versions?

>>211994427
really? i never watched avater but my impression from /co/ is, it's seen as a masterpiece and its fans are all late teenagers or adults

>>211994232 (OP)
>watches shows for children
>"WTF WHY IS THIS SHOW'S HUMOR SO CHILDLIKE???"

>it's the animation is for children debate all over again

>>211994476
Father isn't a thing in the first anime, but Jesus is. There's a parallel Earth based on ours and Ed gets trapped on this planet in the last episode when he brings back Al's body, as payment for the exchange. Then there's a movie about nazis who want to invade the FMA planet which then gets Ed transported back to his own reality and Hitler himself makes a very short cameo. Pretty whacky but enjoyable overall.

>>211994232 (OP)

The first series was more mature and the characters were more in-depth.
In the second you understand that a character is about to die when they give him 2 minutes of introspection

>my name is Mohamed McMohamedson from Mohamedshire and I'm an inbred pakistani welfare leech

You have work to do, buddy, the door to Hyperborea is closed for you

These are all good anime, but I feel like this kind of a favorite list is really tryhard. It's like almost purposefully designed to make it as uncontroversial as possible so people won't clown on you, so it'd be a lot more interesting if instead it was just anime that spoke to you personally even if you knew not all of them are "good" in an objective sense

>>211995048
those are my personal favorites, I'm not a tranny and don't need to pretend some bullshit is better for contrarian points

>>211994232 (OP)
FMA is battle shonen.
Watch Gintama or Daily Lives of High School Boys.
Those are comedy anime masterpieces.

You're literally doing the "my taste is more sophisticated than yours" bit, it's really pretentious

>>211995048
nah most of the animu in the list are pretty universally loved
if you really want to be a tryhard you have to put something like Texhnolyze, old Gundams, Macross, Shin Getter Robo, Lain etc

>>211994295
/a/?

>>211995247
>You're literally doing the "my taste is more sophisticated than yours"
it's true tho

FMA 03 is REALLY bad when it passes episode 30 and studio Bones had to make up their own ending. I feel like people who praise didn't even watch that last cour of episodes because they suck, really really bad

>>211994630
03 is infinitely superior in cast management and character development, in brotherhood these elements are missing but there is more action and less fillers

>>211995318
>03 is infinitely superior in cast management and character development
it's not true, Brotherhood has a larger cast and all of them have their own arcs and action in the story, it's 03 that abandons most of it

Like I said I feel like people who prefer 03 haven't actually watched it properlly, it resolves almost nothing

>>211994429
Good taste
Shit was way darker in the old series
Both endings were kind of random though

>>211995252
Yeah I'm not disagreeing that all of those are good universally loved anime. I've heard some people (half-jokingly) shit on Parasyte or Gunbuster, but by in large yeah there's nothing wrong with any of those shows.
But that's my point, it's like you took a list of all the universally loved anime, and then selected from it 10 shows to show off that you have a varied taste in anime. Imo Lain would fit in pretty well with those shows actually. Old mecha would maybe come off tryhard, unless you had a lot of older mecha shows in which case I'd just assume you like mecha.

>>211994232 (OP)
I read manga but I don't watch anime
Anime is watered-down from manga

>>211995284
I think you're mixing me up with the other Finnish anon, I agree that FMA: Brotherhood is better than the 03 FMA

>>211994232 (OP)
KISAMA GAIJIN!
NIPPON HUMORU ISU GURITO YOU JUSTO DONT HAVE TASUTO!

>>211995347
Honestly, it's the opposite, the homunculus for example in Brotherhood are flat and almost all open up just before dying while in the first series they all have a more complex and long narrative arc.
Maes Hughes in the series Brotherhood is also disappointing, you can understand that something is about to happen to him because they strangely gave him 5 minutes of development and characterization

>>211995401
I dislike Lain, my favorites aren't randomly chosen and they have several connecting elements, you're just not looking closely

>>211995472
the only homunculus in 03 who gets better development is Lust, the rest of them are the same or better in Brotherhood

>>211995493
Ok I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt. I haven't seen Vampire Hunter D or Ergo Proxy, but some of those shows are connected by
>how the outside world sees you and how you see yourself
>responsibility and roles people take on to themselves
>personal growth, especially through adverse experiences
>most of these would nowadays be considered retro
How close am I?

>>211995836
pretty good, although I don't care too much about retro it's just older stuff tends to have better storytelling and aesthetics

>>211994997
Is Panty and Stocking a magical girl show?

>>211995995
technically yeah but I group it as a comedy

>>211994232 (OP)
FMA and fire force/soul eater mangaka's humor is just terrible.
Maybe read REAL manga

>>211994232 (OP)

>>211999515
nana has terrible jokes too and it's one of the best anime/manga out there and it's aimed to adults

>>211994429
It was better.
Just like HxH 1999

>>211994232 (OP)
Finnish people be like:
>a boring ass cartoon of mentally disabled hippos?
>yes this is literally the only relevant cultural output we have and Finnish autistic people like it for some bizarre reason.
It's not even just Finnish people. It's like the only cartoon to come out of Europe and you all pretend to like it for that reason. Don't even get me started on those duck tales trash comics.
Imagine your personality as a Finnish person. Simping for Walt Disney's retarded duck and some ugly mentally disabled hippo family.

This is like all of europe btw. They literally have no culture.

>>211994396
I'm not a fan of Japanese humor either but not every anime is comedy focused. there's still plenty of great anime that are good because they don't rely on comedy to entertain the viewer

>flag is literally a leaf

>someone sharted cheese on french fries or whatever: this is high cuisine in canada

what do you mean by japanese humor
like, boke and tsukkomi shit? manzai?

>>212002398
I already know canada has minimum cultural output, but Saturday morning on teletoon in 2001 had more culture in an hour than Finland in its 600 years of recorded history.
>his countries greatest cultural output is a spin off of a Walt Disney character.
Atleast we weren't parasites about it.
We still have nothing on the great Yamato culture. Either of us. There are brand names in Japan older than when the nation of Finland was carved out of uninhabited taiga and tundra. I can get a brand of soya sauce older than Finland. Let's not forget Canada is a product of European culture. If we have none it's due to our forebears. Blame European migrants bringing over 10 different kinds of cheese and bread as their "culture"

Also I am sure moomin was animated in Japan too. Because let's just say Finland isn't a nation of artists.
This is the most important painting in finnish history.

I don't think people here claim donald duck is finnish, finnish people just like donald duck lol
Also finland has the excuse of being a country with a very small population + having a short recorded history because it's difficult to grow food here
What excuse does Canada have? You have a larger population than all Nordic countries put together, and all you have to show for it culturally is how good you are at slobbering american cock. No unique language, no real history. As a matter of fact canadian history is a history of squashing out people who actually did have a unique culture and history, and replacing it with what exists today: a bland blob interchangable with broader american culture.
