3x3 thread

the thread is 3x3: >the joy of expressing your favorite anime, not >defend your taste from anons on the attack
i dont even understand how you require someone to explain to you how epic gup is. just re-watch der film or the four das finale films please. and i like hibike because i like girls love and classical music.

the thread is 3x3: >the joy of expressing your favorite anime, not >defend your taste from anons on the attack

If you don't want to discuss why you like things then don't make a thread. A 3x3 is inherently negative, the biggest statement about you in a 3x3 is what *isn't* on there. If this is the best explanation you can offer than obviously yuri is a pretty terrible genre, but at least we've established you don't really like moe or cgdct.

i also like hibike because i like naoko yamada. liz and the blue bird is one of my favorite anime movies for this reason. dont fucking fight me on this
non non biyori is like eating off brand oreos when you could be razing the amazon rainforest with palm oil extraction via on-brand shows like what's on my grid. it is dispassionate and though i do like it, i think it is leagues below (8/10) what's on my grid.

onimai avatarfag

oh, so you've decided to show your true colors. i honestly dont care to argue with someone so disingenuous.

1/9

non non biyori is like eating off brand oreos

No, I agree with that anon. NNB is a genuine 11/10 anime and timeless masterpiece with some of the best characters and writing I have ever seen. I don't think any other anime has ever made me laugh out loud and I've been watching anime for over 2 decades, and when I say laugh out loud, I mean literally almost every single episode manages to have at least one thing that is extremely hilarious, while simultaneously being very well written through out. I would say watching k-on in particular is akin to listening to someone scratch their nails across a chalkboard to me.

to each their own. k-on makes me genuinely happy to exist.

to each their own

nearly groundless subjective perception defeats the purpose of a 3x3 thread if the entire basis for what you consider quality is "i like girls love".

this is too small. is middle left FLCL? i can barely tell.

give it a rest holy shit. im assuming if you're here then you are: , in which case, good taste! i too like genshiken, shimeji, sayonara zetsubou sensei, yotsuba, and even the onimai manga even though i think the author has severe sameface, among other manga on this grid. good job! i just dont feel like arguing with you in particular about why i like what's on my grid because you in particular are a disingenuous person who just wants to sit here and argue and bicker with me like a 12 year old.

Is the same retard bitching you shouldn't kill robbers or you're a psychopath now shitting on yuri?

im assuming you're referring to the onimai avatarfag, in which case, probably. i dont know what you're talking about though, so it couldn't be me.

disingenuous person

I'm being 100% sincere. I'm not the person who made a 3x3 thread while not wanting to discuss anime. I'd never praise anything I'm not prepared to defend for 20+ hours straight, that's how incredibly genuine my posts are. Can I say the same for you?

i think the author has severe sameface

Also a mind boggling complaint while being a kyoani fan. It'd be easy to mistake hibike and k-on as the same exact anime. I'd say the characters in 90%ish or so of kyoani's line up look exactly the same and are terrible at conveying emotion or individuality, a very common issue in yuri in general.

sankyuu berry machi

too long didnt read

You read all of it. You're just a *disingenuous* coward.

no i genuinely didnt. i made the thread for other people you realize that, not just myself. now i will play touhou and wait for more grids to be posted.

now i will play touhou and wait for more grids to be posted.

You'll limp this thread along and bump it for the next 10 hours instead of discussing anything. Because you are *disingenuous* and just looking for validation and asspats.

gup is probably my favorite moe show, but because of the tanks. it doesn't really belong in the same category

k.

Yes and yeah idk whats wrong the image I will prolly just remake it at some point

You know why you're here. You're a faggot redditor.

the joy of expressing your favorite anime

This is definitely not what 3x3 threads originated from.

hey i get to use this now

i put it in the title as a joke kind of. just to have something there.

No, you definitely shouldn't be dumping more garbage into the catalogue if you don't intend to discuss things. Otherwise the only barrier of entry to "discussion" is

I'm aware of the existence of at least 9 anime but might not even be able to discuss them

There's value in being able to articulate why you like things. I'd rather this place not degrade into Anon Babble, which has been unusable for many years. The 3x3 threads there pretty much have zero value now and its just underages looking for confirmation that its okay to like halo and elder scrolls from their fellow newfags.

fair enough, but i wasn't looking to discuss my favorite anime with him in particular. feel free to ask why i like what i like. i also, again, make 3x3 threads for other people too. even if i wasn't up for discussing my favorites (which i am), there theoretically would be ~15 other posters to talk about anime with.

i wasn't looking to discuss my favorite anime with him in particular

He didn't say anything wrong and it looks like you didn't have anything to say about your favorites. I think you should take at least a 2 year break from posting and learn what Anon Babble is about.

he didn't say anything wrong

im familiar with him from previous threads. he is a dumbass and has taken issue with k-on being on my grid in the past. i dont like him and i dont want to justify why i like what i like to him because he's just going to walk in circles about why he thinks they're bad. again, feel free to ask about my favorites. i recently re-started re-watching k-on and it has been extremely enjoyable to drink to. it made me cry a few times, even. i love naoko yamada, she feels very human and i wish she would direct more cgdct anime.

I also think k-on is terrible. Are you not going to discuss things with me either? I think the characters are lacking in personality and rather vapid, and I have no idea what you mean by saying the director feels "very human".

He's not going to discuss it.

very human

well, from her other works, like koe no katachi, liz and the blue bird, or her recent movie kimi no iro, she feels "sentimental" which would be a better word. probably because she's female she's more in touch with her emotions, which leads to more sentimental storytelling. she's also a director very involved with miniscule details which i really like. stuff that offers great characterization that other directors wouldn't consider to include. i think k-on has an air of being very stupid and lacking in substance, which is understandable, but i think it's more of a specific aesthetic. it's going for super sugary sweet cgdct, even down to the lyrics of HTT's songs. i used to not be as big of a fan of it, but while rewatching it ive come to really love it a lot. the girls in k-on are like super heroes to their classmates, and while they may not have played at the boudoukan like they wanted since the formation of their band, they did end up becoming one of the greatest high school anime bands of all time.

Damn, I didn't know ants had such mediocre taste

she feels "sentimental" which would be a better word

Do you mean her works are atmospherically wistful? I don't know if this is true when you can describe K-on as

it's going for super sugary sweet cgdct

That's neither sentimental or wistful. A good example of this is Non Non Biyori.
youtu.be/DflP5mBsivA
This is an incredibly wistful scene about the universally relatable experience of learning to ride a bike, illustrating the main character's determination and connection with her community and ultimately gaining the ability to ride away on her own. I don't think there is anything sentimental about acting unrealistically or being a "super hero to your classmates" which is nothing like what being in a high school band is like.

Only sus one there is ttgl which isn't bad compared to whats in most of the thread. It would be nice to see anons appreciate some newer anime however, like 3-gatsu, mob psycho, made in abyss, ousama ranking, etc. some day instead of just the same old things. I would say 3-gatsu is one of the finest anime I have ever seen and I haven't seen it discussed here in ages.

i agree, that non non biyori scene is sentimental. non non biyori can be sentimental.

which is nothing like what being ina high school band is like

it's not supposed to be realistic, it's anime. and in my opinion it's very moving to see, in the second season, these characters which ive grown to love be equally revered by their classmates. it's the kind of sentimentality that crescendos into beautiful moments like the last concert performance in episode 20 that feels extra special. this kind of feeling isn't something i can find with most other anime, cgdct or otherwise.

that's neither sentimental or wistful

it's the kind of special sentimentality where yui makes adorable faces in the mirror for 1 minute trying to prepare for her senior year photo. its the kind of sentimentality where azusa cries in an emotionally climactic scene at the end of episode 24 because her senpai are graduating, leaving her behind. it's a very specific type of cgdct, like hidamari sketch, where you go on a journey with the characters through highschool and get to experience having a friend group. which i never got to experience in high school. and for that reason i will always love k-on.

can be sentimental.

The entire show is wistful. That's what its famous for being. It never stops being like that.

it's not supposed to be realistic

Art is the ideal within the real. It should reflect the beauty in reality if sentimentality is what its going for.

it's the kind of special sentimentality where yui makes adorable faces in the mirror for 1 minute trying to prepare for her senior year photo

That sounds extremely narcissistic. I never did that.

like hidamari sketch, where you go on a journey with the characters through highschool and get to experience having a friend group

There is a whole lot more to hidamari sketch than that. It is an incredibly complex anime and to simplify it as such is an enormous disservice.

lol. so now i dont want to talk to you because you seem to have an issue with me and are picking apart everything i say in order to argue, which is exactly what the other person was doing.

that sounds extremely narcissistic

whatever dude, jesus.

I haven't said anything about you. Do you find my analysis of Yui uncomfortable? Did I perhaps strike a nerve? She's a bit helpless, annoying, and self-centered. Monogatari does a pretty good job dissecting Yui's character archtype.
youtu.be/9zic5JjW-hU

to elaborate, why should art reflect the beauty in reality? isn't there beauty in things that aren't real too? who are you to say? why do you like any anime if it isn't as realistic as possible? why don't you just watch movies instead? isn't it kind of unfair to say that because k-on's band isn't accurate to the high school band experience that it somehow can't be sentimental? that seems like more of an issue with you being unable to interpret it properly.

im not watching that. yui is nothing like nadeko. i've already seen that video when it was posted in another 3x3 onimai avatarfag also happened to inhabit.

to elaborate, why should art reflect the beauty in reality

That's how aesthetics work. Art's purpose is to transcend the limitations of reality and highlight underlying truths. (ideal does not necessary mean happy or good) Regardless, an escapist fantasy obviously cannot accurately be described as sentimental.

why.

i've already seen that video when it was posted in another 3x3 onimai avatarfag also happened to inhabit.

Probably because its an accurate description of Yui as the enchanting airhead trope.

You're going to have to elaborate if you want to be taken seriously. The value of art is in its ability to communicate these underlying messages and enrich people.

why cant it be described as sentimental

Oh and obviously Yui's not like Nadeko, Nadeko is a much better character because she actually tries to fix herself.

assuming they are exactly alike, she tries to fix herself because that's what kind of anime monogatari is. monogatari =/= k-on. im getting tired of bickering with you.

Because you can't be nostalgic for a fantastical scenario that is in no way thematically connected to reality. Have messages like

remember when your friends departed when high school ended

disjointedly strewn throughout a chaotic unrelatable mess. The author's intention in K-on was to make a show about girls who just happen to play music for fun growing up as apposed to an idol group pursuing a goal, but, as per your own perception, she failed in doing that. If the fans don't even get it then why should I praise it lol

Back when anime leaned into being deep and atmospheric

aren't you the gay guy who cries about brotherhood

because you can't be nostalgic for a fantastical scenario that is in no way thematically connected to reality.

tell me how it makes me feel nostalgic then.
why is k-on in no way thematically connected to reality anyway? im assuming you're jumping to this logical conclusion based off when i said it's not supposed to be realistic (referring to the band's perceived image among their peers). there are plenty of ways in which k-on is grounded in reality. they go to high school, for one. people in real life go to high school. therefore it can be relatable to someone like myself, who has gone to high school. are you following? im not going to continue to respond to you because you literally just want to argue. you give no ground to why i like k-on you just want to shit on it. which is exactly why i dont feel like defending myself from "anons on the attack" like i outlined in one of my earlier posts in the first place. you see now? good.

I don't know what you're talking about but Brotherhood was awful and overrated as shit

tell me how it makes me feel nostalgic then

Because you have incredibly low standards and the hamfisted disjointed 'member this moments are enough for you, I'd imagine.

anons on the attack

You feel like you're under attack because you haven't taken the time to analyze your favorite things, which apparently has been led to you being repeatedly criticised, for what I have to assume has been at least months apart. Did you also say you were currently rewatching K-On last time you were "attacked"? I know your type, it was probably like 6+ months ago and you said the same exact thing, because you don't watch anything. I'm right, aren't I? How is it that I can tell? Quite the mystery.

Don't lie.

You hate Brotherhood so therefore you are this random person

Schizo behavior

be less obvious, onimai avatarfag.

Might as well admit you like CLAMP and move on from the late 90s/early 00s stoner anime bro. xxxHolic is pretty good.

I'm not him. Link the last time you were referring to. Now I'm 100% certain I've got you.

it was me, im not denying that. onimai avatarfag happened to be in that thread too. i stated i "re-started re-watching k-on" because i never finished rewatching it. i just got back to it because i had been watching other anime in between then and now. i do not care about what other people have to say about k-on. i like it. and i dont think i like it for vapid reasons. i outlined a few of the reasons about why it was important to me and you proceeded to shit on them because you're highly negative.

because i had been watching other anime in between then and now

How long ago was it anon? How long has it taken you to finish a single anime? How long will you conveniently be rewatching k-on? Probably forever, right?

you proceeded to shit on them because you're highly negative

I like plenty of anime, just not yours, and I definitely don't like your attitude towards others and discussion either.

you realize k-on is two seasons, right? i stopped after the first season, now im rewatching the second. quit being pedantic. i dont doubt that you like plenty of anime, but you are a negative person.

you realize k-on is two seasons, right

It has 39 episodes. That's like 2 weeks of anime. And thanks to your help I was able to find the thread in question on desuarchive, its been 4 months and you still haven't finished it, and it looks like you similarly flew off the handle over nothing in a thread with a mere 48 replies. Also, rather depressingly, your taste hasn't evolved at all, you've been posting the same exact things for 4 months without learning anything new.

keion and euphonium are nice, didn't watch the rest
3x3 for ants
wind rises is a good miyazaki, but not as good as ponyo or how do you live
fma and hunter x are not that interesting
cowboy bebop overrated except for the music which is great
I don't take anyone seriously if they think kino's journey is deep
it's literally retarded

that's like 2 weeks of anime

for me that's like 1 week. i just split anime into seasons so i save them for later. kthxbye

thank you read manga anon, i explicitly specified (and manga) in the OP just for you.

Additionally, it looks like a single onimai image was posted in that thread. I'm looking at it and its pretty sad. You're actually a real piece of shit as it turns out.

Massugu Go!

lol
lmao even

1 minute apart

are you that butthurt i replied to you with "k." ?

Actually that's 3 minutes. I can dump futa porn and get my stuff chain deleted if you really think it's that dubious to prove it, if you wish.

00:41:53

00:42:54

difference of 1 minute and 1 second. i dont need you to prove it, unless you really want to. im honestly not that invested. just been drinking by myself.

Oh sorry, I'm old and can't see well. Just a coincidence. You are a complete moron however. A lot of similarities between this thread and the old one. Would be a shame to see this be yet another insular circle jerk general Anon Babble stand in where regulars deep throat each other, which seems to be your intention. I wonder how Yui would feel about you drinking by yourself and astroturfing on the internet for months on end.

that's actually quite funny at the end there. im not particularly proud of it

You should endeavor to watch better anime and find something new to occupy your top 9, at least that's bear minimum incredibly passive progress versus total stagnation. Don't be like your "buddy" here who tells people to read manga but has been posting the same image for, I dunno, years.

I really am going blind, 2 more days til doctors appointment

Need to update it.

hibike is a new addition. that counts for something, right? im always watching more anime, im just fond of the specific cgdct shows on my grid, which i dont know if i will ever consider to not be among my favorite anime. i wanted to theme this new grid specifically around cgdct, and maybe i will make more themed grids in the future so as not to appear stagnant.
my vision is also atrocious

hibike is a new addition. that counts for something, right

No

Damn anon isn't this a bit too much?Why so smol

Wanted to thank you for making me read summit of the gods lol

Damn anon isn't this a bit too much

There is still 30 more to go. It is making me think very hard about manga.
