Masses create plague.
I've been thinking about how certain animes are beaten to the ground and stabbed to death by an obnoxious amount of fans. Now, the number of people that like the anime isn't the problem; the number of morons that like the anime is.
For instance, look at the .hack//SIGN thread in the Anime Lounge. It's festering a web-based epidemic. So many morons who can't understand the deeper meaning of a show, (or over anylize the show) have destroyed the story of project .hack. Not only is that thread completely spammy and filled to the brim with n00bs, but these people run off into a random tanget on why they think Mia can't be Macha or Maha without any specific reason, when you find out that all three are indeed the same in the fourth game.
I'm not saying it's stupid to think otherwise if you didn't know, but stubbornly putting your foot down and flaming someone else when you have no real evidence to back up your opinion just shows how pissy of a mood you must be in all the time.
That just disappoints me. .hack//SIGN was a great anime, but it seems too tainted by a huge fanbase of rabid morons to be anything good. This kinda effected Inuyasha as well. Inuyasha is a very good anime, but due to the massive amounts of people that obsess over it, it seems too mainstream. I'm afraid this will happen to Wolf's Rain too, though I haven't noticed anything too extreme yet.
While I'm on the subject of Inuyasha, I'm not sure it was originally intended to be as long as it is. There are too many pointless, side-tracking episodes in which nothing special happens. The Shikon Jewel is almost complete, so I'm not sure they can delay the inevitable for too long. They're reaping a decent profit from the series, but come on, if they make the jewel shatter again I will give up altogether.
In short: n00bs are the archenemies of anime. Actually, they're the archenemies of a lot of things, but you get my point... I hope. |
