So, NGE was basically to film what The Great Gatsby was to literature.
>>119620780
But what is the Evangelion of anime?
>>119620780
No, Gatsby was shit, Evangelion was not
>>119620836
Madoka
>>119620780
OP is less subtle than anime character exposition
this thread needs more sexy shinji
>>119620780
And what is the Dark Souls of anime?
>>119621170
Mononoke
>>>/s4s/ is the place to post memes
>>119621170
Berserk.
Yes but who would be the Tupac of anime?
You mean it was an overrated crock of shit that was somehow lauded by critics as the second coming?
>>119621307
ding ding ding we have a winner
>tfw filename
>>119621262
but anonthat's the dragons dogma of anime
That's pretty accurate for a generic comparison. They're both held on a really high pedestal and are very easy for anyone to get into. And teenagers get all up their own ass about both of them.
>>119621306
obviously nunjabes? bakas
>>119621506
Demon's Souls came first.

>>119622902

Why do people shitpost?
>>119623248
>something overrated
So something like JoJo then.
>>119623229
Lain
>>119623505
nah, still too coherent.
>>119620780
Oh come on, EVA wasn't that bad.
>>119620780
Evafags sicken me
>>119620780
Yes, but Effi Briest is The Great Gatsby of literature and Narutaru is the Effi Briest of anime.
Pretentious deconstructions?
>>119620780
>film
No. Maybe for anime, but a hard arguement for other psychological anime to have just as profound an effect.
>>119623020
Wow.
>>119622902
Jin-roh
Amazing opening, slooooooooow middle, pretty good ending.
>>119624004
Yeah. Eva is shit.

What is the Great Gatsby a deconstruction of?
>>119624153
Madoka?
What's the Count of Monte Cristo of anime?
>>119624153
Nothing.
It's just a chronicle of the dazzling decadentism of the white society during the 20's.
>>119624470
The anime adaption of the Count of Monte Cristo.

Really ?
Not after reading "The late mattia pascal"
What is the anime equivalent to this album?
>>119626027
I dunno but we've found the music equivalent to Goatse.
>>119620780
Evangelion was at least enjoyable
>>119623248
>ItCotCK

It deserves the praise it gets.
>>119624062

I never liked The Great Gatsby. In my satirical highschool English paper on the book I subtly asserted that Fitzgerald was sexist, racist, and overall a Nazi (before the Nazis were a thing). I remember that the sinker for that claim was that afterGatsby died in the poolFitzgerald wrote that the "Holocaust was complete". He had no good reason to use that word; it connotes fire and Gatsby died in water.
Steinbeck, Vonnegut, Nabokov, and Tom Robins are way better.
>>119620780
Good thread, old sport.

What is the Atlas Shrugged of anime?
Don't mind me I'm just waiting for the godot of anime to show up. He said he'd be here soon.

Overly long, trite garbage with a twisted message?
Naruto, obviously.
>>119631041
Legend of the Galactic Heroes
>>119620780
Both are pretentious garbage.
At least Eva has a catchy OP and cute girls though.

What is the Spaceghostpurrp of anime?
>>119633974
Psycho pass
>>119631940
Please don't lump LotGH with garbage.
>>119620780
NGE is shit.
What is the Great Gatsby of Evangelion?
>>119635132
Madoka
>>119631041
Mahouka, duh
it's funny how Americans think that The Great Gatsby is some kind of landmark of literature when really it's just an alright, smallish novel without much interesting to it. It says a lot about American literature that that's widely considered their great work.
>what the fuck did I just read?
>>119620780
But Evangelion was good.
Then Gatchaman is the Tom Sawyer of animeTom Sawyer & Huck Finn is the greatest and most classic American work of literature, prove me wrong, inb4 you can't

>Comparing one of the most influential pieces of literature in the past 200 years, the prime example of post modernism as a whole, to a mecha anime with a neurotic MC made in the mid 90's.
Not even /a/ is this autistic

HAHAHHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHAH
But seriously, explain your reasoning
>>119635687
>mecha anime

>made in the mid 90's
How are any of these supposed to detract from how influential the show is?
