Kanokon – What YOU SEE Is What YOU WANT (fan side)
April 20, 2008
Kanokon. Fanservice. Insert “This show sucks.”
Well, enough bickering. Didn’t you ask for this?
Oh wait. You asked for deep, satisfying storylines that move people to shed manly tears, epic battles and quality animation. Something along the lines of Gurren Lagann and Kaiji and True Tears. Not inane fanservicey borderline moé porn.
Oh that’s right. You think all animé companies are dirty scoundrels that deserve to burn in the fiery pits of Hell for “overcharging“ and being “downright jerks” and “not caring for the customers”.
Well I’ll give you that for Odex and Bandai, but the way I see it, the majority of the companies are doing their best within their moral means to meet to your irresponsible and downright unattainable standards.
I’m pretty sure the studios feel the same way too. After all they are people too. No one likes being unappreciated. Especially if it happens to deprive them of the basics. And when people feel unappreciated, they stop caring about what they do and produce crap. I’m not surprised at all.
So suck it up and enjoy your fanservicey borderline moé porn. After all, this is what you (and your wallets) asked for. It’s all you’ll be getting.

Before I type anything, as an anime fan, I need to get this out of the way.
Anime I actually LIKE and thank the companies for creating: Black Cat, Busou Renkin, Claymore, E’s Otherwise, Chrono Crusade, El Hazard The Wanderers, Glass Fleet, Black Blood Brothers, Mao-chan, Megafuku, Morning Mist Shrine, Suteki Tantai Labyrinth, Negima, Trinity Blood, Ai Yori Aoshi, Geobreeders, Grenadier, Himawari, Pretty Sammy, Zombie Loan, and over half of the adult anime created after 1999.
And now; the Driveby.
Anybody who says that they’ll readily switch off their minds to enjoys something, along with the crap that’s created for the switched-off minds; their homes should be burned down.
I’ll bring the marshmellows.
As an anime fan who understand what the industry’s going through and still believes in paying for what I like.

Ty, really I know.
It was meant for the people who do nothing but complain while grabbing their animés off the Interbutts.

Sorry. It’s just been one of those days for me.
A person would think that (s)he’s all alone in the world…
Yet I’ve managed to get $50 from someone who bought some Commemorative G1 Transformers from me. I should stop being such a party-pooper now.
