Man Joey did a terrible job at selling Seitokai Yakuindomo. It's not ecchi in the slightest. The characters just make erotic jokes and use double entendres and the main character is the straight man that points out that what they're saying is absolutely fucking ridiculous. I love that show to pieces. The jokes land very well and it's very rewatchable.

[@kingban3777]

I agree

[@thelegendaryklobb2879]

Yep, very glad to see some love for Seitokai Yakuindomo but I disagree on his take. I think it's awesome, 4-koma manga are very difficult to properly adapt into anime and this show did it great. And I also wouldn't call it ecchi, but it is so hilariously horny and spicy to the point I sometimes had to make a quick Google search. "Huh...so that's a thing" XD. I mean c'mon, they have a robotics club in the school that consists of only one female member and her entire line of work is vibrators!

[@kingban3777]

[@seaweed6668]

The opening seitokai yakuindomo is slapp as hell especially the intro before the opening started

[@pdp6839]

What I love about Seitokai Yakuindomo, is that the show I very well aware of what it is. It's not comedy that comes from the jokes itself, but rather the reactions of the characters to how outrageous the situation is. The show knows what it's doing and it makes sure to let the viewer know that as well. It knows that it uses the same type of jokes over and over, and the audience as well as the characters know that, which makes it so fun to watch when the characters react to it.

[@Flared]

Joey is bang on about Lucky Star in it being an amazing time capsule that mocks the anime meta and otaku fandom in the mid-2000s, and if you weren't around back then like older bastards like me were, the majority of it is sadly lost on you.

Lucky Star was one of the first shows I dropped back in like 2010 because it seemed like a stupid, boring show about high school kids wasting time and talking about pointless and uninteresting topics. A couple of years after graduating high school, around 2015, I picked it back up and loved it because it reminded me so much of our time as high school kids wasting time and...you get the idea. The characters doing something special for their graduation is something I wish we had done at my old school. Instead, graduation ended as a silent fart in the wind, without much fanfare and barely worth remembering.

YuYu Hakusho (made by mangaka of Hunter X Hunter) is overly, heavily underappreciated by the Western manga/anime fans, since manga/anime scene and market scene mostly blew up when the BIG 3 (one piece, naruto, bleach) along with DBZ at 2000s which opened the manga/anime scene. That's why a lot of western anime/manga fans may know HxH while not knowing YYH. However, peole in Japan, or asian countries (Taiwan, Korea etc) already had a big anime/manga market in the 90s, and not only Dragon Ball, but also YuYuHakusho, Slamdunk were picked as the BIG 3 Jump mangas before the aforementioned. it was very very popular, almost like a basic. YuYuHakusho made the foundation of Shounen Battle Genre (with the tournaments) along with DBZ, yet DBZ were more accessible earlier in the west since YYH had very dark, deep (it was X rated) stuff, somewhat not appropriate for kids .

I love how he says Lucky Star could be bad today. I understand otaku culture well besides Anitubers and just hanging around it, it's a great anime to learn what it's like early on. I'm not into Reddit humour but it was still good most of the time. I have no reference for most 2000s shows besides Haruhi in that show (watched around the same time helped), I am a 2000s+ gamer, I have played an MMO, I can enjoy everything in it like New Game as a modern example where it's the only other Moeblob or cute girls doing cuts things show with actually a good mix of scenes and characters and not repeated jokes or out of place scenes to annoy me ever. It is constantly showing something new and something related to the settings, the scenes, the moments, the characters. New Game they make a new game each arc, new aspects of game development, new aspects of characters it's constantly revealing things and moving on even besides the minor Yuri or otaku culture parts. Lucky Star has so many normal and otaku moments at least one thing you may have heard of in a scene even if Japanese or not it's likely understandable on a wide scale or happened. Lucky Star does a great job better than some slice of life shows based doing fun stuff around town while most are in a club and it's eh. Even if not everything is relatable it's all understandable and funny/enjoyable. No parfaits (yes the cake scene but it's not OH CAKE DELICIOUS it's WE HAVE TO FINISH THE CAKE), but both the otaku and normal moments make me laugh every time or are enjoyable to watch that's something 99% of Moeblob shows never do for me because they are so forgettable and for good reason because they barely try and miss the mark every time. It will always be there for me because the others don't have the variety of scenes or a strong hook they barely try, I will always rewatch Lucky Star and New Game and I would put it in my 3x3 no doubt. The rest are fair shows and expected like Monogatari as he has mentioned them before on his channel, I get ecchi comedy anime are trash but I mean they have a fine vibe even if bad I get what he means I've seen many like it but have yet to actually watch that one in particular for while. I do find Key anime a factor in my early anime experience, not crying over them but for early tragic comedy slice of life shows or crying game VNs but still.

It's really sad how short lived Lucky Star was. I personally liked it a lot, but I didn't watch anime in the 2000's either.

I think Lucky Star still relevant for those who want to get into otaku culture. The reference is old though.

if you want to get into otaku culture Genshiken is the better show pretty much the same age it just did it better if you ask me

[@TNTspaz]

@@TheCreepypro I think the difference is Genshiken is mocking Seinen Slice of Life while Lucky Star mocks primarily shounen with a mix of other things. Both are mocking otaku culture but different sides of it

Man, you know what reminds me of Serial Experiments Lain? In the vain of social media, and the internet. Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty has been underrated for years. It cracked my world view the fuck open. Like I couldn’t sleep after playing that game.

[@CoolLlamaGD]

I personally discovered Lucky Star very recently, from all things a sample of the dub in a song I was listening to. Even as someone born close to the show’s initial release and missing most of the humour as a result, I still find this show amazing. It’s probably one of the most slice of life-y animes out there, where nothing really happens. Instead, you just get to watch anime girls discussing how to eat a chocolate cornet for 20 minutes. It might not hold up the same today, but I love that you don’t have to understand everything to enjoy the show. It’s a show that you can just sit down, turn your brain off and watch. The opening is also a banger.

[@entropybentwhistle]

English translation of Seitokai Yakuindomo is Student Council Members. It’s one of my favorite comedy anime series too. I’m also a fan of Lucky Star but watched it for the first time during the Covid lockdowns and still found it funny, plus it’s definitely in the CGDCT genre as well.

[@voyager1568]

Joey’s bottom row is S tier and that’s all there is to it. Seitokai Yakuindomo had exceptional storytelling. Monogatari had literally exceptional everything. EVERYTHING. And Yu Yu Hakusho will always have a special place in my heart as one of the best shonen of all time. I prefer it to HxH. Honestly. Because I’ve seen things from all their panels, I’d say Just based on these three, I relate to Joey the most. Connor seems like he wouldn’t “allow” himself to “like a bad anime,” so although some choices are good, his panel is annoying and almost doesn’t seem authentic. I RESPECT Garnt for the callouts to Your Nane, Fate, and even being humble and honest enough to admit he enjoyed Oreime. But when it comes to the GREATEST things I’ve ever watched, Joey is so much closer. I would legitimately (as an ex drug addict, sorry guys), equate the first time watching the Monogatari series to feeling what heroin feels like for the first time. It’s literally so incredible that from then on, it feels like you’re chasing a dragon with other shows or even trying to rewatch. It’s THAT good. But I sincerely appreciate that he and Garnt flat out say, it’s basically okay to love a shitty anime. It makes you real. It shows your authenticity. You’re not watching 200 anime and just completely disregard the ecchi or harem genres. You just aren’t. So Connor, although I agree with him in a lot of areas, seems disingenuous. For me, I will straight up admit that I LOVED high school DXD, and I loved monster musume. They were dreams come true. I over others as well, believe me, but I would be honest in this fact with others

[@dasuero7489]

Lucky Star is based. Also thumbs up for putting Seitokai Yakuindomo, a great trashy-like, ecchi joke comedy, romance-bait, and gag series like with the manga or comic which is also 4 something and a gag comedy type too. I'm glad and ecstatic that Garnt and Joey/Anime man love and appreciate Serial Experiments Lain. That show is so prescient because as Joey said, it foretold the future and consequences of social media such as social isolation and alienation, echo chambers, but also more importantly Image Boards and Message Boards like 5chan, 2channel, and 4chan. It was that predictive, hype, and just blessed to have producers and writers like ABe who has a channel on this site, Yasayuki Ueda as producer and basically Lain is his brainchild (i.e. Serial Experiments Lain the game produced at the same time the anime was being worked on), and the unfortunate late Ryutaro Nakamura as director and sound design dude. Last but not least, the dude who wrote DIGIMON TAMERS, Chiaka/Chiaki Konaka, who also directed and wrote or helped to produce the original HELLSING anime adaptation, Armitage III which is a film, RAHXEPHON, the Air Gear anime adaptation, The Big O, Gasaraki, GHOST HOUND, TEXHNOLYZE and some of Princess Tutu. In addition to those, he also wrote his own manga which also served as partial inspiration for Lain, titled "Alice In Cyberland/ Cyberspace". The character Alice who is Lain Iwakura's friend in the anime and she is an integral one besides Lain and the villain/antagonist and his cult. Konaka was inspired by psychological and horror and macabre works from H.P. Lovecraft which he adores unashamedly and some unspecified Japanese novelists and draws from real life as well. Konaka even worked on Mirrorman and Ultraman series (live-action).

[@nonsenseuser2450]

I'm all for hidden gems but the way people just pretend those "obviously really good shows that everyone knows" don't exist or "are too normie" is ridiculous. If a show's good it's good. And a show being unique or hard to understand doesn't make it a masterpiece. I personally found Lain and Mononoke pretty boring when it came to actual enjoyment.
