Well, what happened there is, of courseānow all of you must adjust your brainsāthe biggest work of art there has ever been. The fact that spirits achieve with one act something which we in music could never dream of, that people practise ten years madly, fanatically for a concert. And then die. [Hesitantly.] And that is the greatest work of art that exists for the whole Cosmos. Just imagine what happened there. There are people who are so concentrated on this single performance, and then five thousand people are driven to Resurrection. In one moment. I couldn't do that. Compared to that, we are nothing, as composers. [...] It is a crime, you know of course, because the people did not agree to it. They did not come to the "concert". That is obvious. And nobody had told them: "You could be killed in the process."

how can it be from 2008 if the internet was invetend in 2011?
>>7492376
The internet was invented in the 70s or around there
>>7492382
uhm no it wasn't
>>7492387
Checking Wikipedia it says the earliest form of the internet was invented in the '70s so I'm right
>>7492404
>it says on wikipedia
Didn't they teach you not to use wikipedia as source in school?
Then again you might have gone to school before the internet was invented in 2011 and therefor wouldn't know this ;)

Soulless seasonal trash in comparison. From a technical standpoint, K-On!! is the pinnacle of television anime. The star animator of Satoshi Kon and Mamoru Oshii's films agrees.

I was a teenager, but even looking back on it, it was pretty damn great, and it still is sometimes, honestly. Several of the people there were (and are) incredibly talented and creative in ways that you couldn't really find elsewhere on the internet. Most of it was comedic, of course, but some of them had an excellent grasp of the uncanny as well, almost to the point of being terrifying. I'll definitely miss the feeling it gave me when I first discovered and became immersed in the place.

At least in music. There are many groups that are more technically proficient, but not quite as innovative within their genre.
There are plenty of artists that are much better creatively and technically, but they usually have massive discographies with origins predating the 21st century.

Breaking Bad, not for the cucky bandwagon appeal but for the incredibly executed character arcs
Wilfred (american version) - it had it's missteps, but overall had a really nuanced take on mental illness amongst all the poop jokes. Also, the last two episodes of season 1, plus the first episode of season 2, are taken together the best example of writing for TV (maybe the screen in general) I've ever witnessed
