I'll go with Attack on Titan for this one. I had a lot of friends tell me to watch it, and the Internet wouldn't shut up about it,so I tried watching a bit of it. Never again. Not since I got sick of Bleach have I wished so hard for a mainstream pile of garbage to fade out of existence. I get how some people might like it for the action scenes and whatnot, but I need my "deep story lines and characters" (that people rave about) to have a bit more depth than a kiddie pool.

I apologize for coming into the thread at such a time, but I'm interested in becoming an artist for the project. I contacted Helvetica with a full sample of some of my art, but I don't think he saw my message, so I thought I should post here just to let everyone know my interest .

I like episodical stuff for longer shows like Gintama which keeps the story fresh and not repetitive although Gintama does have some longer arcs but that works too, it just doesn't have a clear goal and that's what i was getting at. If long shows have only one goal and they drag it on and on it gets boring (refer to Dragon Ball Z for 5 mins of fights spread out in 10 episodes). Or for SoL which works perfectly fine with the episodical format. I like defined arcs for shorter shows with like 24 episodes. The length of the arc can vary as long as they finish them with a conclusion that's all i want. For example SAO has 2 main arcs (SAO and ALO) and that's okay but then there's also Darker than Black which has 2 episodes per arc and that works fine for it too. Also Higurashi which has clear distinct arcs with all the scenarios that last 4/5 episodes each. You may hate me for saying this but another thing that i think a lot of anime need to do is the omnibus format. You can argue this takes quality out but i love the omnibus format especially in romance shows. Being able to see all the what if scenarios is the best. Amagami SS and Yosuga no Sora are the best examples. The arcs end up being shorter as a result of course but i feel happier seeing all the scenarios instead of a "harem" or cliff-hanger end which happens in romcoms nowadays a lot. Another alternative to this is stuff like TWGOK which is not in omnibus format but at the same time shows all the heroines getting romantically involved with the protagonist. These type of things need to happen more in certain shows. I'm looking at you Harem/Ecchi romcoms! I think it's all a matter of adapting yourself to the format, there's not a huge preference for me regarding it. Alll shows have arcs in the end and they just vary the way to apply them. As long as it's done properly any format can be good.
