Almighty Rules
Anime Relations:
Boku no Pico
1. Don't fap to doujins of anime/manga you've never watched/read before.
2. Don't believe you'll find a 3D version of any character you love, they're 2D because they can't be real.
3. Don't watch game/VN anime adaptations without playing said game/VN, ever.¹
4. Don't overgeneralize content by genre. Making assumptions are acceptable as long as you keep them for yourself.
5. Don't assume said anime/game/VN will be good because it was made by your favorite director/studio.
6. Don't jump in any hype trainwreck, or hype related-things by any stretch of the imagination.
7. Don't follow these rules strictly unless you hate anime.
As for a more specific explanation of said rules, read them below.
1. It's very easy to get your head filled with remorse and bad intentions when watching something you've already "relieved" yourself with. This doesn't make watching said anime any less fun, it simply may cloud your judgment later. In the worst case scenario, you won't be able to concentrate on the story of said anime since you can't think of anything else when watching "that" character. Our brains are easy to trick, but surprisingly very stubborn as well... keep that in mind.
2. Hurm, reality check. 3D is 3D, 2D is 2D. There are things only 3D can do, and there are things only 2D can do. Don't trick yourself in thinking you'll find a real version of anyone you like/admire. I can guarantee you within margin of error that the closer you'll get to that objective is meeting the VA of said character.
3. This is obvious once you experience it once. Game and VN adaptations tend to be very sloppy and don't hold up when quality is concerned with their original content. 9 times out of 10 you'll enjoy said adaptation much more if you played the game or VN first. Worst case scenario you'll hate the adapted version, so do yourself a favor and put those anime in hold-on until you've managed to play the game first. If said game with adaptation can't be played (like, no translation) then you can overrule this.¹
4. Don't judge the quality of any anime or manga by the cover. It's easy to miss a masterpiece, or maybe just that fun thing you could have watched a long time ago if you weren't stubborn about the "contents" you've never watched in the first place. A good example is Grisaia no Kajitsu, a game where you expect full-retard harem cliches, but instead gets a much, much richer experience.
5. This should be self-explanatory.
6. Hype is one of the greatest enemies of rational judgment. If someone convinces themselves that the next thing will be "big", there are only 3 ways this will end:
- If you are lucky, it might not be that bad at all, if not...
- It will likely not meet your expectations, in worst case scenario...
- It will actually suck but you will be too embarrassed to admit it and turn yourself into a fanboy out of nothing.
As a fellow human being, I can understand being excited when you expect a good thing to happen, just keep yourself in moderation so it doesn't come down to "we told ya" later.
7. No really, just to be safe, I feel like I should mention this is just a random rambling, don't take it too seriously for your own sanity's sake.
