[Chairman Kaga]

Being a fan of absurdist fiction myself, I see nothing wrong with enjoying something that isn't earth-shattering in its complexity, seriousness, intelligence, etc; it accomplishes nothing for one to speak against humor simply because it is not of a sophisticated nature; as long as something is not crass, a joke is a joke and it should not be a matter of pride that keeps one from laughing.

Boredom is not a sin, nor should one speak against another for experiencing it. That goes into the realm of the unacceptable, as one cannot control what options they have for activity and entertainment at any given moment in the day.

 

[aragornbird]

Naminé wonders what can she possibly say besides "mortified"...

Wonder how desensitized people can get by stuffing their minds with "pointless yet good" shows day after day? Naminé thinks that people are either too well off that they are not yet satisified with all that they got and result in boredom, not knowing how to enjoy all that they have, or, people are simply satisfied to know something without bother to think slightly harder why something is good or appealing. Most likely, the second is true. Mr. Aragornbird probably likes something in common between these "random senseless" things that make them so highly appealing to Mr. Aragornbird's eyes, yet he simply cannot, or did not bother, to pinpoint what these common factors are...

I find your constant typing-in third person to be nonsensical either. There are plenty of reasons why random things can be good. By challenging what we think is right or logical, it breaks us away from the constraints of everyday life. It gives us something to laugh at if this randomness is so abrupt that defies our expectations. And if you look hard enough, you can infer hidden meanings though the creator probably didn't intend them. You've apparently never seen the short cartoon called "Rejected" by Don Hertzfeld. It makes almost no sense at all, yet it is one of the many examples of randomness traversing the realm of comedy while still retaining a somewhat dark overtone that touches our psyche. And evidently, it won an Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film as well.

It was...cute at first, but now it's just downright annoying. >O

 

[Dawg 2005]

There's nothing wrong with pointless shows, but I like a little meaning! XD

FLCL had no real point and yet it's one of my favorite shows. o.o

EDIT: I agree, Jack. The third person thing was "cute" as some say, at first, but now it's just annoying. >.<

And Naminé thinks that Mr. Aragornbird has already done what she mentioned earlier by thinking about why he likes it. If this is what that show means to Mr. Aragornbird, then it's not mindless or random after all. The "randomness" created has an intention in mind from the creator, and how can something that is intended be mindless?

As for the third person posting, Naminé is pretty certain about the reasons why she sees this as a fitting posting style for herself. It is just like how Naminé cannot see a reason for Mr. Aragornbird's shows, while he sees a reason to watch his "pointless" shows that's really not so pointless. Likewise, though Mr. Aragornbird can't see a reason for third person posting, Naminé will gladly embrace it with a certain degree of reason and logic to it.

 

[Ryoutarou]

Yes it does, FLCL isn't probably one of the deepest anime I have ever seen. I'm not kidding about that either.

What's the reason?

I feel like playing FPS. [/Random]

~*^*~~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~~*^*~

Ah, but FLCL does have some meaning though the images it presents seem so random. Or at least we the viewers can impose meaning on the show. Like seeing how FLCL is a coming-of-age story of Naota or finding hidden references in each of the many episodes.

Which is another reason why randomness can be good. It forces us to search for meaning even if those meanings are not intended. And that search can trigger many inspiring discussions.

I think Nami-chan's third-person POV wonderfully clever, unique, and fit for such character as her, and that people should stop digressing on its annoyance, because DCC has already fared poorly with a similar previous discussion. ._.

 

[Drifblim]

Well, if the rules at the start of the thread say 'no spam', then that pretty much goes against the entire point of the thread. If I were to just type what was in my heart, it'd be a mindless array of characters, marks, and dingbats that ultimately form a matrix that does not have anything tangile to say for itself. Crystal Walrein has spoken.

 

[Jack O'Neill]

Yes it does, FLCL isn't probably one of the deepest anime I have ever seen. I'm not kidding about that either.

Seconded. FLCL is indeed a deep anime.

What you call "wonderfully clever, unique, and fit," I call unoriginal, ordinary, and unnatural.

~*^*~~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~~*^*~

Ah, but not once have I mentioned the word "mindless" in my posts. Obviously, one would have to have a mind in order to recognize that two objects or concepts do not normally belong together. Perhaps a better word instead of "random" would be "improbable" since many of the works shown in that wikipedia article have constant incidents of occurances that should not happen within a set law of physics, yet still do anyways.

[Lily]

Yes, Jack. I know you don't like it from constant reminders. No need to keep going at it, as those words were purely my opinion.

~*^*~~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~~*^*~

Apparently, you haven't taken enough advanced English classes where every essay you write has to be about finding the meaning in a piece of literature. XD

I couldn't agree with you more, Jack.

It was pretty nice and funny maybe, at first, but it's overdone now.

In other words, Namine. You killed it.

 

[Chairman Kaga]

As I am getting off for the night, let me just say that if watching a television show with random elements from time to time makes me a lesser person, I wear my badge of inferiority with pride. Criticism over something so trivial seems thoroughly useless and should not demand justification if it is harmless, which, (and my inferiority and foolishness may be blinding me to the truth), in my personal opinion, it most certainly is.

 

[Lily]

You must love putting down her posting style; it's entirely her choice, not others. Learn to get over these trivial matters.

 

[Ryoutarou]

I could never find the real point. XD;

Well first of all, to understand the series you really have to understand three forms of Japanese culture. The oldest culture, the pop culture and the anime culture, it makes so many references to other anime and shows that haven't aired in America that most people probably don't even understand. That's one of the main reasons why the show didn't make the transition between Japanese and English all that well, there's so many cultural jokes it's ridiculous. A lot are very untranslatable and don't have an American counterpart.

It's also got a great amount of imagery that the American target audience didn't understand. Same with the music, it all plays a large role in understanding what the main point of the series was. Which in the end was "Don't limit yourself to the possibilities of reality, the world is what you make of it.".

And guys, cut it out with putting down Naminé.
