Uninteresting/Technical meaning

Sub-page of Uninteresting

xela: From the way it is used in commentaries, I think that uninteresting, or whatever Japanese word it is translated from, must have some sort of specific technical meaning, although I'm not quite sure what that meaning is. Can anyone else explain more?

Bill: The Japanese term is tsumaranai, which is normally translated as uninteresting. It is not taken literally. After all, some bad plays can be quite interesting. I do not know of any technical definition. Maybe unpromising captures a lot of the meaning.
