User blog:RemidoDosol/Subjective Standpoints: The Raildex Animes

I was thinking to myself the other day, how do the Raildex animes holdup by themselves and I thought it would be a great discussion piece. Unfortunately I am the only person I know actively enjoys the series and I figured there might be others out there lack the capabilities of being able to actively talk about the show in a conversation as well. So here I am on the wiki starting a conversation/discussion/debate about the Raildex animes feel free to jump in and keep the fun going, but try to stick to these rules to help avoid it becoming a flame war.

 1. This discussion is about the animes, how good they are for a stand-alone anime as well as an adaption of source material not exactly source material itself. e.g. “Has Good animation”, “good character designs”, “holds up well on its own without needing source material”, “Story makes no sense”, “soundtrack is dreadful” stuff like that.

 2. Although it is impossible to be nonbiased (even standard news stations can’t seem to understand the term) try to be open minded, the point of this is to BOTH find people with similar opinions AS WELL as being able to see something from a different point of view.

 3. When making an argument everything stated must have a legitimate reason with a proper explanation supporting you statements. Saying stuff like “__ show is better because __   character is in it more!” is shallow reasoning for dismissing the other anime. Although it is perfectly fine to think that just make sure to admit that it is an unfair and irrational bias, because there is nothing wrong with that and we all have them. Blindly believing your opinion is an absolute fact of nature or at least talking like it is however is unacceptable.

 4. Work off each other and branch out, the point of this is to have fun talking about something we love with other people who love it for similar and different reason while also analyzing it, praising it, and yes admitting to its faults. After all the best fans are the ones who can admit the thing they love isn’t absolutely perfect but still enjoy it anyways. There is no need to stick to any structure unless you want too.

 The idea of this blog was to give the feeling of actually having a conversation and talking about the series with someone(s). I personally live in a very rural area so there are few people to hold a decent conversation with and I figured I’m not the only one. The subject matter itself was just a structure to get the conversation started and the rules are just a basis to keep it from becoming heated. There is no need to stick completely within the boundaries of the subject matter but do try to stick to the rules, the point of this is to enjoy ourselves and have fun conversing about what we love.

If you guys find this idea enjoyable I can add another blog with a different aspect of the franchise we can use to hold an active conversation as well.
