Thanks, I just got Fallacy Bingo!
In all honesty, the world god only knows (the anime that was linked) is more of a harem anime, even though it's one of the more interesting out of the lot. Slice-of-life tends to be an add-on genre, typically paired with comedy. Slice-of-life on its own just means the anime follows the daily life of the characters, it does not indicate that it's any more realistic than a regular anime. If you want a more realistic portrayal of the characters, I would check out something like 5 centemeters per second or more recently Your lie in April.
That was super funny, hahaa. I will most definitely watch this when I have time. Thanks for this.
Yeah this thread is pretty fun.

This thread is really something else. Never change, NeoGAF.
Take the word "otaku", for intance; in Japan, it simply refers to any social awkward NEET with fixed, narrow, and intense interests, not necessarily an anime fan.
We have a similar word in the West -- autist.
Japan doesn't believe in mental illness.

I'll do just that.

It's okay to not like it, but the people that don't like it telling others to seek medical help is disgusting.
It really elitist and ignorant to do that.
I also keep seeing more people misgendering Holy when it's been clear that she identifies as a female, I thought NeoGAF wasn't okay with Transphobia.

I want to take OP back to one of the most iconic dating sim games of all time
It's time to play Tokimeki Memorial.
You think I should play it, I'll heed your advice, but I'm not looking into dating sims at the moment, or at all to be honest.
Sucks that your browser is locked on this page with an autorefresher + scroller and you're tied to your chair with your eyes glued open.
Must be uncomfortable!

Yep. Agreed on the bolded. Its insulting, adds nothing to the thread, and people play it off as "valid criticism".
You really see these kind of reactions on other threads about people's hobby. I can imagine gaming side filled with locked threads if people start telling others they need to seek medical help for liking a game or a genre of game.
don't act like it's confined to this thread
Actually the word we have is fanatic or anorak. Otaku isn't a mental illness. What next, being a geek is a disease?
An important of it though, is that the SoL genre is closely tied to the experiences of the author, which means that anime and manga are going to have the settings and characters that are relatable for the Japanese audience that consume the medium. If you're looking for something closer to say a real life experiences in the US, you wouldn't look towards Japanese TV and film, but in American drama and sitcoms. There are certainly SoL anime or manga that does not sugar-coat everything, but even then, it's still not the same thing as what you would be looking for.
Your mouse also auto clicks on anime threads? Rough life.
Although if it does derail a legit thread it's usually locked or there's some sort of mod intervention.

I don't think it's been translated into English. It is just really iconic for the genre because it started a system where if you ignored some of the other girls they'd actually start talking shit to the other girls in the game including the girl you were going for. It made it so you had to start being very careful of choices you'd make.
Oh I see, that's a mechanic that's used quite often now-a-days I bet. Thanks for the information though, really interesting.

I don't think there's a correlation between the two. I've seen some anime, I never said that all of it was bad or that everything is idealized with absolutely no relatable characters in the medium whatsoever. And please bring up a specific scene depicting a date. Regarding the bolded, that's what happens on a date in the most superficial way, how are conversations portrayed, presents given<---(never done this btw on a first date), etc
I have. Studio Ghibli films are really well done, and coincidentally the person behind them, (or used to be), detests the way the industry he's part of works in terms of creating characters and instead does it the way we in the west are taught to. Which is why his films are extremely great instead of being passable films with nice animation.

how was I supposed to know what kind of thread this was until I clicked on it? how was I supposed to know, when entering any particular thread, that holy baikal would be shitposting in it and derailing it? it has never been possible to foresee a thread like this and you know it

Never. It's no longer about nations, ideologies or ethnicity. It's an endless series of proxy battles, fought by otaku and trolls. War, and its consumption of anime, has become a well-oiled machine. War has changed. Bish-tagged soldiers carry Mod-tagged sarcasm, use GAF-tagged memes. Confirmation bias inside their minds enhance and regulate their ignorance. GIF control. Information control. Emotion control. Discussion control. Everything is monitored, and kept under control. War has changed. The age of deterrence has become the age of control. All in the name of averting catastrophe from weapons of moe destruction. And he who controls the forums, controls anime. War has changed. When the forum is under total control, war... becomes routine.
Do you mean Konomi?
Game is awesome we need more games like this.
yeah her, i used her special so many damn times

It still saddens me that people continue to latch onto that word as an insult.
Dont go overboard, but that was cute.
The way the west does characters?

Harem is another thing I have a huge problem with but that's a different subject. -_-
Since we're on the topic of animation and it would be infinitely unfair to bring up an example that completely outclasses most if not all slice of life anime in terms of portraying characters and life in a way that is highly relatable for the viewing audience.

It's a super common thing between siblings. My cousins do this, my friend's kids do this, my sister did this etc That helps a film or show as it helps to make the audience care more about them. And that will always be infinitely better than pandering to the audience.

Its not a war, more like people reacting to weird waifu conversations and....melonpan
Hah, I think I'll take a look into this series, thanks for bringing it up, the two of you.

Um phrasing?
