Lets have a thread dedicated to backgrounds and scenery in anime!
It really doesn't get enough attention.

List your top 5 anime. They can include movies and ova's.

Mine are:

5)Kaze to Ki no Uta SANCTUS
4)Revolutionary Girl Utena
3)Fullmetal Alchemist (2003)
2)The Rose of Versailles
1) Berserk (1997)

Btw, no need to mention Cory in the House, It's such a good anime that there is just no need to state the obvious.

Death Note
Higurashi
Basilisk
Dragon Ball Z
Samurai Champloo.

I feel as though my favourites would be considered very entry-level and pedestrian by others. That is fine. I still enjoy other anime like Serial Experiments Lain, Darker Than Black, Lodoss War, Rozen Maiden, etc, which are a little more 'obscure'. The important thing that I realised is to be earnest and have fun.

Honourable mentions: Haruhi, Lucky Star, Yuru Yuri.

Watch Card Captor Sakura if you haven't already.
It's more serious than the shows you listed but it's one of the best magical girl shows out there.

Also, it's not 100% Mahou Shoujo but, you'd probably like Magical Pokaan.

There are a ton of misconceptions among people who don't know a lot about anime. Obvious ones are that it's all smut/gore, or that anime is all "weird". What are some misconceptions you feel should be cleared up?

We all know dubs are shit, but have you ever wondered what exactly makes them so bad?
I heard something recently with a bad dub, a short scene with a guy trying(but not very hard) to sound angry and I noticed something. It wasn't just how he was saying his lines, but the lines themselves just seemed really awkward. I always thought the problem was localizers hiring cheap unskilled voice actors who have no passion for the stuff they work on. Now I think that's only half of it, with the other half being poor translations that don't fit what English speakers would actually say. I think there's just no effort at all put into trying to make the dialog sound natural.
It then reminded me of a conversation I had with someone who insisted P&SG had a great dub, with their reasoning being that the characters actually swear. Then I got to thinking, anime that are said to have good dubs, like samurai pizza cat and ghost stories, both take some extreme liberties with the source material, allowing the voice actors to go nuts.
It got me to thinking. Can dubs actually be good if the translations become much less literal? Should they be? or do you think that's too offensive to the source material, and translations should be kept as closely as possible to the original meaning regardless of how weird it might sound in another language? Do you think the same holds true for subs as well?

Surely the pinnacle of the internet: fox businesses providing their commentary on the ways AI translations of Japanese media will upset the liberal order, with the lead image featuring localizations of an ecchi anime. If we add in blockchain in there we'll have summed up the decade.

Answering myself, official subs for this seem perfectly fine. Shame since the typesetting effort for the DDY release seemed quite intricate (of course one can always trivially mix/match but it doesn't seem worth the effort).

Here Shouta in the next episode preview imitates how Takiya speaks when Takiya goes into otaku mode, but I think the way Shouta imitates Takiya might be off. I would expect Takiya to say, 「どうでヤンスか?」「かっこいいでヤンスか?」 instead. With that in mind, I can sort of see what DDY might have been going for, but I don't find it to be a very good fit. On the other hand, CR's English script doesn't seem to bring across the difference in Takiya's otaku-mode speech at all.
>> No. 36793 [Edit]

Thank you for responding. To confirm, what does the ヤンス here mean? Dictionary says やんす is a dialectical/archaic form of "to be", which would fit with how you described it should have been used. What's the association between that and otaku though?

Gold Ship DOES NOT work as a mature knowledgeable mentoring senpai type character, not AT ALL. She's an a oh so random and crazy comic relief character. She's meant to be silly dumb and fun. This feels so forced. It's because her VA runs the youtube channel, isn't it?

Why in the hell would you have Nice Nature Gold Ship compete for the same role here?
While it makes sense to seek out someone on your same team for support, there was actually a little bit of chemistry with Nice, but with Gold Ship there's nothing there. Goldship seems like the worst person on the team to turn to anyway. Now if only there was someone on her team who was one of the best horse girls around... someone we saw prove herself last season... someone that Kitasan already admires and looks up to... Someone who inspired Kitasan in the first place... hmmmm.... HHHMMMMMMMM.... IF ONLY THERE WAS SOMEONE LIKE THAT ON HER OWN FUCKING TEAM.

Seriously, is this studio meddling or just incompetence?

Finally got around to finishing season3. Last two episodes were a bit of an improvement but it didn't really make up for what a mess the whole season was. This anime feels like lighting off some fireworks, which turn out to be a dud, only to then let off a little poof at the end. It's disappointing, Season 2 was a big improvement over the first, the game was well made, and the ova was great. I was expecting something better. I went into this wanting to love it but walked away disappointed. I had a feeling early on something was off when Rice shower had that awkward cameo like appearance. Which in hindsight feels like a character that was shoved into a script they weren't meant to be in at the last moment because they're popular. Or how they kept randomly playing what sounded like Mortal Kombat theme at inappropriate times.

There was an over reliance on familiarity with the game for one thing, projects like this should be able to stand on their own. you should feel like you might get more out of it by playing the game, but not like you're missing a lot of important details if you missed some of the content in the game, and for a lot of mobile games keeping up with everything can be like a full time job.
We have new characters that just pop up out of nowhere without so much as a greeting, some who don't get introduced till the second to last ep after awkwardly hanging around all season. In spite of adding a handful of new characters, it still felt very empty due to it's focus on mostly just two characters, and even then more so one of them.
If you have really strong complex characters this can work, but that didn't really feel like the case here. This while all the other characters had so little to say and do they might as well have not been there at all. They're all sadly wasted here. Cheval Grand had a nice role to play near the end (Who's great idea was it to spoil the results of the race in the OP?) but she felt so poorly established over the course of the season, it didn't have the same impact. I hate it when a character gets their life story dumped on you all in one go. You had a full season here full of a lot of nothing. Hell, they could have made Cheval Grand be Kitasan Black's rival instead of Duramente, but that might have made too much sense..

I slacked off and couldn't watch much anime last year, I'm thinking of watching at least 3 anime each season in 2024 minimum but I don't know what to watch besides anon's recommendation (Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete). I haven't watched Youzitsu yet, but I think I'll catch up on it to watch the 3rd season and check out Majo to Yajuu.
It's not that I'm forcing myself to watch it. Anime is still one of the things I still find interesting, I've realized I need to make an effort to keep up and enjoy it like I used to before.

I give them credit for not completely reversing everything, and instead the world is a result of a compromise of sorts. (One I would like to live in.) That said, feels like a story that needed more episodes, as usual.

Well it's what they said they would do. A bit disappointed that the prediction of >>37690 basically turned out to be true though, and there wasn't any further meta-twist that warranted this side-plot. Although the most obvious twist of having that entire abduction plot be part of the game they were making would be quite clichéd..

Konoha is infinitely cheerful, I wouldn't be able to trust Toya again after those events.

Best place to start is the original manga.
If you really don't like reading manga, there's also this OVA series:
