Obligatory.
It's honestly my favorite show, but that doesn't blind me from the truth.
also, not referring to the rebuilds, this is just a qt picture

Does it get better? I think I stopped after episode 4. Is there a worthwhile conclusion at the end too?

The conclusion is the only good part; the rest is painfully repetitive, grandiloquent and affected.
>>141440243
It's not pretentious. It literally shows from the start that it's a glorified wish-fulfillment story about failed normalfag who tries to fit in society really hard, but fails no matter what. A wasted art on a horrible story.

Conclusion's alright at best.

It's the #1 GIS result for Tatami Galaxy as well as Wikipedia's primary image for it. If you're implying those are all the same poster, you're almost certainly wrong.

Story of a guy who goes through college, showing the many ways it could have gone, highlighting his interactions with a friend he demonized and love interest. I don't think the story is pretentious, but I assume the sped up speaking is supposed to represent the fast passage of time that the MC feels.
>>141442775
No plot with cute girls, warm and fuzzy feelings and comedy > shitty boring pretentious plot
99% of anime plots are shit. SoL is the best genre because it avoids this pitfall altogether.

Himouto! Umaru-chan vs. Legend of the Galactic Heroes
Umaru:
- Has lots of cute girls
- The cute girls do lots of cute things
- Is funny
- Has entertaining dialogue
- Has just the right amount of dialogue
Legend:
- Forces the viewer to spend most of their time looking at men, as well as a few ugly bitches
- The men, which the viewers spend most of their time looking at, as opposed to cute girls, do lots of gay things
- Is boring and unfunny
- Has boring dialogue
- Has so much dialogue it's like reading a book. A boring, gay book.

Looking to anime instead of books for a good story is like looking to the toilet instead of a restaurant for a meal. Cute girls doing cute things is the only thing anime does better than any other medium. This includes mecha, which Hollywood did better with the first Transformers movie.

There's shit taste, which makes me mad, and then there's appalling taste, which just makes me sad. It's like someone with a mental disability doing something stupid - you can't help but feel sorry for their absolute and utter retardation. That's how a feel about the spewing retards in this thread, just sorry for them. I hope one day they can overcome their abysmal taste and at least reach a semblance of shit taste; anything is better than living life like a retard.

Pretentious is something that tries to be smarter than it is. Which fits perfectly with Tatami Galaxy.
Then again it's only pretentious if you are smart, if you are dumb it might seem really brilliant.

Oh, fantastic. Tatami Galaxy is pretentious because it tries to be smarter than it actually is (pretentious). The show is pretentious, in essence, because it's pretentious! Wonderful line of argument.
No fuck off. Stop extrapolating some kind of failed intellectual grandeur from the show's off kilter art style and general presentation.
>>141445979
>They talk about life all the time like it's some DEEP thing
Are you seriously this retarded ? LIFE IS DEEP
>>141445984
Pretentious is something that tries to be smarter than me (which is quite not possible). Kind of like what you just did by completely not getting what I clearly said by using logic, don't be so pretentious next time anon.

"it was too challenging for me as an experience, therefore everyone else who liked it and the show itself is pretentious"

Mind Game
It was a lot of pseudo-sexual bullshit about a Beta being given a shitton of deus ex machina to somehow get the pussy of his waifu that he's lusted after ever since high school.
Really, it's more of an explanation and viewing of what I assume to be a Japanese salaryman's wasted youth and mediocre life wondering what he could have been (if life had literally magically gone his way).
The entire thing was a visual masturbatory jerkoff of whoever made that movie that /a/ told me was something cool (granted, it has been years since then; I think I was recommended it somewhere around the TTGL movie reaching subs)..It was a fucking /r9k/ wet dream of BetaMAX fighting off mean fellas hurting the waifu he was estranged from and never saw him as the cool, nice guy he was on the inside. With his asshole grabbing and eating their guns.
It's cool if you're fucking 13 and you've never seen sexual symbolism yet, I guess.
>>141446367
