RIP

Come back we need you, you were one of the best people from MAL

You are the hero that no one knew we needed... you left us too soon, and have left your mark on the world, forever immortalized in the MyAnimeList forums.

I just came across this video and I'm watching it now.
Whenever I come across someone discussing a CGDCT theme I'm reminded of a couple of threads I was active in.
Anyway, I'm not sure where this video will finish with, but the title suggest an explanation to why we can remember
characters from CGDCT shows, while the critics proclaim 'they are all the same anyway in all shows'.

..."RIP"?

I'm unsettled to see you disappear without warning. Let us know you're alive, Okanagan!

RIP

Sad to see you inactive. I really enjoy your posts

Too cute

No problem, the words are true. A few days ago I referenced that thread twice in one day!

In reading some of your cdgct notes on Classiick's profile, I see that you've used the concepts of continuity and bifurcation; perhaps this implies that the intersection of our interests is nonempty (cgdct aside), in which case you'll understand when I note that a cgdct with n characters has n-choose-2 relationships to explore, giving a larger than linear advantage to shows with fewer characters. (Contrived statement, sorry.) But shows with lots of characters can be nice too. I was pretty shocked with Kari's plethora of characters, and stalled it (not with intent to drop, just because I had other stuff I wanted to watch) after several episodes, but (before reading your posts on it, in fact) realized that it was one of the purest cgdct. Now with you confirming that there remain no main characters, I'm all the more interested to finish it, to see what kind of variety they come up with. (And, of course, to revel in the cuteness.)

On a somewhat related note, the KanColle anime was based on a game with a similar choose-from-the-girls dynamic, and ended up similarly female-screentime-only with a large cast; but they had the audacity to include the player as an (offscreen only (which is pretty interesting, I admit), but somewhat frequently interacted-with) insert-character! ("The Admiral".) I don't want the girls to be talking about a male character so much, nor for the last scene of the anime to be the main character blushing while greeting the admiral in the same special place she met him in the first episode! An interestingly (unforgivably? haha) large difference in "all-female" adaptations.

(Well, I didn't dislike KanColle, and if I were to re-watch it as a not-"all female" anime, I'd probably be fine with it, but what's interesting is that it seemed at first to be heading the way of all-female, but then as it goes on the admiral's existence and the characters' relationships with him become increasingly focal, making it continually shocking. Not that I disagree with Classiick's classification as a three; after all, most people likely wouldn't be as bothered by the Admiral anyhow.)

Whew, sorry for the wandering.

Edit: Line-breaks disappeared? Time to try html...

You just watched it raw?

How did you watch it?
