>anime is either "le cancer cute things meme" or pretentious 2deep4u trash for edgy teens

I see now, the shows ans movies I liked were exceptions they're not how anime ought to be, They're outstanding works that don't pander to the mentally challenged audience. I thought all this bullshit "ruined" anime but actually anime was always 99% pure shit so the are the consumers. The only few good works that aren't total autism shit are the ones who go in opposite direction. It's clear now, this media is inherently cancerous and it's for clinical retards who fill half of their hard drive with magical girls. I actually hate anime and I hate every single faggot who watches anime.

Texhnoshit is bad and poorly directed borefest though.

Only teenagers with zero actual experience in hard scifi or dystopian literature would appreciate it.
No wonder. After all it's still just anime with the target audience of dumb jap teenagers (hell if americlaps never read anything but at least they are aware of the existence of books, dumb jap teens are completely isolated in fantasy highschool bullshit).

It's laughable when westerners are trying to defend it.
But hey it's understandable. After all you need to educate yourself and weebs are the opposite of that process.

How can you argue with underdeveloped teenagers who can't see how poorly and meaningless techolyze is? Same goes for fate zero, knk 7 and lots of """"mature""""" anime which is in fact the same shounen shit just with older looking characters possessed with underage mentality.

Go read some books and don't make yourself look like an idiot with your jap cartoons. And when I say books I don't mean jap light novel crap for Christ's sake.

And ironically, it's the shows that would only pop up as a secondary afterthought that are really "deep". Things like Mushishi, Galaxy Express, Kino no Tabi, The Phoenix, The Sky Crawlers, Haibane Renmei, Spring and Chaos etc. The ones that don't flaunt philosopher quotes like dicks, but instead give food for thought by presenting ideas that are actually backed up instead of being just shallow concepts.

And don't try to elevate yourself over others with your reading habit, there is only a handful of good sci-fi novels. Real patricians read classic French, German and Russian literature, and most importantly, the Greeks.
>>
Texhnolyze is just edgy.
For actually good cyberpunk watch Lain or GitS.

Anime is a visual medium, so the screenwriting and even more so dialogue is not as relevant. Moe is intellectual on a thematic and aesthetic level.

What really separates something like K-ON from the films of Ozu?
>>
>>138663968
This is true of all mediums.

It's just anime is such a small market that the percentage of good and bad seems even worse because not as much is produced.

>>138663968
You finally realized it. But you have a choice to make now: either give in to the retardedness, either the moe flavor or the edgy flavor, or find another way to entertain yourself when you don't want to think. Whatever you chose, you'll end up with retarded shit. If you want intelligent stuff, you shouldn't even try to find it in entertainment, it's bound to fail, be it movies, books (apart from the great classics), music, or whatever. You should instead feed your brain with maths, programming, or whatever floats your boat, and use entertainment like Wittgenstein did, that is, to clear your mind. But you're a hopeless retard for thinking anime should be clever, so whatever.

Thank god someone realizes that. I mean I like the genre but since Orwell and Bradbury it's all been "muh dystopia" shit that pretends it is deep, only it's harder to see this in books than in anime because people who write novels actually try to cover up their retardation.

K-On is overrated kitsch that only get praise due to revisionist propaganda started by shills like Digibro, Kvin and Tamerlane. It has no philosophical merit or worldview, it doesn't express any worthwhile ephemeral ideas, characterization is thin, Yamada's pseudo arthouse direction doesn't blend harmoniously with such inane trite. The drama may appeal to autistic manchildren who aren't ready for the real ambiguities of life but I never found anything moving about the ending since the idea has been done better in other works.

>only get praise due to revisionist propaganda
That's why everyone ignored it during its initial run, right? Absolutely no one liked or praised it until the twitter crowd started gaining traction.
>>
>>138670267
Sky Crawlers fleshed out eternal recurrence, which Japanese jack off to in a shitload of modern media. It can come of as pretentious depending on the viewer, but it didn't serve as a cancer prototype the same way Innocence did. Slightly better than Ergo Proxy, Psycho-Pass and the like, but with the same unsubstantiated ideas and quote dropping. It was Oshii's weakest movie, even the Urusei Yatsura movies are worlds apart from it.
