Kore wa Zombie rate me down ka?Follow

Ok I've learned a few things;
A) I still suck at making amvs
B) Adobe Premiere hates .mkv files
C) .mkv files don't like to be decoded, like at all. (and remember 1 25 min show takes about an hour and a half to decode)
D) Adobe isn't like riding a bike, I barely retained anything.

So I gave up 45 seconds into the song since a ton of the clips I was using were borked (you'll see if you watch the terrible youtube link), and since I'm a glutton for punishment here's a link to what i created. It does cut off at 45 seconds or so sorry.

Before you laugh hard at my failure, There is no effects in this it was a rough edit. I was trying to line all the clips up (aka the black space in the video had corrupted clips).

But yeah, I gave up, maybe if I could of found the way around the MKV issue i would have completed this atrocity but meh. Anyway have fun making fun of me. :)

That's a shame, considering its actually not a bad show. Great animation and voice acting, and doesn't treat its audience like retards.

I think you should still give this one a try. It has action and magic, as well as character development (the plot itself is fairly ridiculous, but that's ok). There is some romantic tension as well, but it works pretty well.

And honestly, Allegory doesn't like Bioware games, so you have to take his opinion with a grain of salt.

I'm confused. Which of your posts is the sarcastic one?

I'm not so firm in the belief that no one can enjoy it, because obviously people do. It's just that it can only be enjoyed as anime bullshiz. It can only be enjoyed as "so bad it's good." If it isn't working for you from that angle--which it largely didn't for me--then it won't work for you at all.

I'd rather have a show like Princess Tutu or Revolutionary Girl Utena that can be appreciated both from a 100% anime bullshiz view point and as a serious story with actual depth. If you don't find one angle interesting, then it offers you another.


Salt has long been a very valuable commodity, and so I appreciate the compliment.

I'm not sure what you've seen before so I'll take a few pot shots.

--Escaflowne. A good amount of action and magic. The fights are well designed in that you feel the weight and sluggishness of what giant mecha combat would be like. Plenty of romance, as the series is somewhat of a shounen/shoujo hybrid, and definitely nothing like a harem. The plot was written to be a 52 episode long series, but due to budget constraints had to be reduced down to 39 episodes, which gives the series a compact and epic feel to it. One of my favorite shows.

--Revolutionary Girl Utena. Theres about one fight every other episode, though the fights are more allegories of personal struggles. The first Juri fight I found to be amazing. There's romance and sex, but definitely not pornography. Definitely strong character growth. The series can be highly repetitive though, as each mini arc follows a very standard format. There's also a lot of reusing certain sequences.

I'll agree on Escaflowne. Definitely a good watch.

Coincidentally, Utena IS 39 episodes. (Or maybe 37, but it's one of those.) Totally unrelated, but an interesting coincidence nonetheless.

Unbelievable.

That sums up the show pretty well, I think. With the boobs, weird humor, drama and violence this show provided, I might just have gotten over my anime hatred. I mean, this was awesome. One moment it's all serious and stuff and the next he's being beat to crap by a naked teen girl for being a pervert.

And Eu/Yuu was adorable.

Oh god, what's happening to me?!

Better yet, what was it about anime that you hated?

Yeah.. I'm kinda scratching my head over that.

I enjoyed it simply for being random and silly. But it doesn't deserve more than a 6/10.

This.

Srsly. And that's before you add in the whales, the pedobear and the Mystletainn(sp?) Kick

I guess that's why I liked it.

To be honest, I don't really know what it is I hated about anime. I think it was everything and nothing at the same time. You know, prejudice based on some bad experiences. Grew up watching a lot of Digimon and Pokémon and those shows make me groan now. They're way too hyper (flashy colors, super-power-mega-level-ultimate-form 9000+ etc.) and not funny enough to support it.

This series (is series plural and singular?) just seemed to have enough seriousness to not be completely ridiculous and the correct amount of humor to back up everything. For instance, the horse Megalon had me laughing out loud. I mean, fighting a horse in a coat and suddenly jellyfish join in? What the hell? Just thinking about it makes my brain sizzle.

Perhaps that's why I liked it. Complete sensory overload. Too much wtf and win in one. Or maybe being drunk and watching the show at 3-4 AM had something to do with it.

Anyway, I want more!

BeanX gave some good suggestions for shows like Kore Wa Zombie rate me down Ka. Excel Saga in particular I think is fairly similar (though minus the harem setup), but I think it'd lack the seriousness you seemed to like in KWZDK. You might also like Pumpkin Scissors, more serious and less outrageous though.
