This is actually pretty good
>>62720458
so you're saying you haven't got to m and n yet
babby's first anime
>>62720458
No it's not.
>>62720458
L dies. His real name is Lawliet.
Takeda dies.
Light has a heart attack and dies.
wait until L dies
Of courshe
>>62720494
>Lawliet
its just that tv and film has been absolute dogshit for 2015
>Light doesn't become a shinigami
Missed opportunity desu senpai
It's ok. I don't get why it's beloved here when Attack on Titan is so reviled. I much preferred AoT. Is it because it's very popular?
I don't know why you post this on /tv/, but yes, it's actually still the best anime of all timeif you stop watching at like episode 26
Star Wars really has ruined this board
thank god we have a chance at /film/ soon
>>62720458
The manga is good, up until L dies. The anime sucks dick.
>>62720698
>/film/
>not /cinema/
>>62720725
Either way you'll be back on /v/ sucking your thumb because of your lack of cineIQ my man
It's great.
Also amazing soundtrack.
>>62720458
is this your first anime?
>>62720458
You're right OP, it's very good. Season 1 anyway, season 2 is still enjoyable but seems to be a bit of a mess.
>>62720458
Yep, it's a brilliant mystery series. Excellent all around.
When did /v/ cancer invade this board?
It's fantastic until Misa is introduced.Then it immediately turns to shit.
>>62720458
I know. Light-san is so cool
>>62720458
pretty much the best anime ever until light picks up the notebook at which point it becomes pretentious hogwash
>>62720458
When will they make a live-action movie starring American actors? Johnny Depp as L.
Jesse Eisenberg as Light.
>>62721320
Oh man you're going to be late to pretend you're cultured on facebook for liking cartoons made for teens man
they're already doing the casting and the kid from paper towns is light
>>62721302
So the first episode?
>>62721354
And this chick is the female lead
>>62721378
THAT WAS THE JOKE
>>62720473
under rated post
its pretty good
its no code geass though
>>62721354
I meant it as a joke, saw your post, checked IMDB, surprised that they're really doing a Hollywood live-action.
I still think Jesse Eisenberg is the best one to play as Light. And a younger version of Johnny Depp as L. Is there any young actor who can act like him?
>>62721302
irony is that before he picks up the notebook it's literally the most fedora anime ever made, even Gantz before Gantzman dies isn't as edgy
>>62720458

>>62721608
It was Longinus

Fuck off, retard.
>>>/v/
>>62721031
one of the only worth watching imo
I can't think of a single anime where I didn't prefer the manga
Probably the 417th best anime ever made
It had a premise that could have been something but it went to stupid animeshit in seconds with "muh magic monsters" and "muh cool overly strong police character who is in charge of literally fucking everything because this is a kids show and you couldn't understand it otherwise" and other stupid shit.
Literally never seen a good anime show and I've tried half of the most popular ones. The one train station romance was okay and that's literally it.
>>62722863
Texhnolyze, Mushishi, Evangelion, Utena, Lain, Tatami Galaxy, Mononoke and FLCL are all pretty good.
Why is this off topic trash still up redwooder?
>>62720458
>I was born in the mid 90's
>>62720458
After L dies, it goes to pure shit.
>>62722993
that is most likely a year or two after you though
what's the problem?
>>62722863
>Literally never seen a good anime show and I've tried half of the most popular ones
Psycho-Pass and Baccano are fun
>>62722969
Agree with everything except FLCL but that's more of an opinion. Death note is at most okay. It has good direction like aoT but the story is crap and there is a lot of wasted potential.
Anime has its gems they're just very few kind of like any other medium and death note would be the equivalent of fight club or perhaps even the star trek movies because fight club at least had some depth
>>62722969
>>62723056
Well to be fair I've only seen Baccano out of those but didn't especially like it either. Nothing especially good about it and way too much annoying anime tropes. It was supposed to be more serious and then there's the same screaming wonky faced young girls in every episode.
>>62722863
>Literally never seen a good anime show and I've tried half of the most popular ones.
You tried Legend of Galactic Heroes?
>>62721444
>no code grass though
fucking this
>>62723789
Nope. Is the first movie a good starting point if I get interested sometime?
>it gets shit after Mello and Near
Fuck you guys, I loved Near. Mello was kinda bleh but at least his theme songs were great.
Actually this show had great music in general. Here's hoping it eventually gets some Brian Fuller-level adaptation.
>Love Live
>Not the best anime ever
>>62722863
That's because even the so-called "great" series do not so much as graze the aesthetic and philosophical heights of cinema and literature. It's a trash genre made for East Asian teenagers and white manchildren with short attention spans.
>>62720458
Starts good but then it turns into your typical weeb shit for autists
So who should direct the live-action adaptation? My choice is Sam Raimi.
>>62724111
>/v/ is this dumb
>>62722145
>>62724041
In the series that seems to be the case which makes it interesting that several anime movies do hold up against great live action movies.
>>62722969
>Texhnolyze
I don't even really into anime, but somebody told me to watch this and I thought it was excellent. Might look up the other ones you mentioned.
the manga is better
Its fun to watch and see what'll happen next, but when you finish you never really need to see it again. Its the anime equivalent of Breaking Bad.
I remember loving it as a 14/15 year old. Thought it got pretty bad when L dies. Rewatched it recently and surprisingly it gets shit a lot sooner than that. I estimate within the first 10 episodes or so. Probably when they introduce L in person at the hotel.
>>62722969
>Texhnolyze
this was so boring. I die a little everytime it's recommended
>>62725391
>I estimate within the first 10 episodes or so.
Thats exactly when i stopped watching it. It really nosedives really fast.

>>62723897
>Is the first movie a good starting point if I get interested sometime?
No, start with the series proper.
It's a 120 episode space opera full of politics and intrigue.
death note is great

Fuck off. The anime they NEED to be making by big Hollywood exec's are the fucking more anime's, prove me wrong.
You complain about SJWs (I bet) yet you choose the most SJW safe material to adapt in Japan, fuck off.
Moe for life, faggots.
>>62730252
>/a/ actually believes this
>>62730508
>people actually believe anime is worth anything, at all
Anime is shit, bro. All themes found in anime can have it's roots traced to some sort of source e which is more 'acclaimed' then said anime. It features dumbed down ideas to be pandered to the masses of Japanese teens.
It's simply literally fact. If you are watching anime because 'it's deep' or some other shitty fucking excuse, you got tricked, so fucking hard.
>>62722863

If we're doing recs, Shinsekai Yori is a 10/10 anime. Trust me, anime is all I watch and I fucking hate it.
>>62720681
>, it's actually still the best anime of all time
no it isnt
>>62723876
>>62721444
They suffer through the same bullshit though where the second big arc (M and N for Death note, R2 for Code Geass) is much worse than the first arc.
Code Geass became way too ridiculous (even more so) in R2. I do agree its a better anime though.
>>62722620
I liked the trigun anime better than the manga.
>>62720458
HxH is the best
>>62733738
did HxH rape your wife or something? Why would you post you like it as a disgusting tripfag loser?
>>62720458The dub was good.
>>62723056
Psycho pass was such try hard edgy pretentious shit
Just watch minority report. Despite its title it doesn't actually have any minorities in it so is good.
>>62733738
Friendly reminder there will not be a new chapter for another year.

Can someone explain to me how Near finds out that Mikami is Ex-Kira? As far as I can tell he closes his eyes while watching television and takes a wild guess that turns out to be right
>>62735054
We can't all like Attack on Titan like you desu senpai.
>>62735346
I shit like L sometimes.
It's actually healthier or when you're having troubles.
>>62720458
First half is 7/10. Rest is shit.
There are hundreds of better anime.
>>62733980
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaoy1QKxGQs
Parasyte is the better anime with an otherworldly companion that only the protag knows of (and few people who either share the same situation as him, or he divulged the info to).
>>62727530
Is it because you've never been lain before?
Only like the first two episodes.
>>62734978
I'm noticing a trend there anon.
anything in particular you want to tell your sister?
>>62735426
High chance of slipping and breaking your face. Just lean forward like a skier instead. Same difference.
>>62734957
Hiroshima Nagasaki should make a new board called /a2/, where we can discuss old anime and ask for anime recommendations. And the mod there should be very strict in banning "moe anime"
This is actually pretty good.
>>62722863
>he hasn't watched Legend of the Galactic Heroes
>>62736784
Theres already a board just like that and they have said multiple times people are welcome there as long as they aren't /v/eddit shit posters. You're not a /v/eddit shit poster are you?
>>62736375
If a person likes all of those anime, he most likely doesn't have a sister to begin with.
>>62735346
reminds me of the faggots in my high school
MAXIMUM THE HORMONE SO HARDCORE KAWAII DESU XD
fuck off and die
>>62736824
You think we might get off the boat now with monthly chapters?
>>62736930nope
>>62736854
then they should make a new board called /a3/ where we can discuss old anime, ask for anime recommendations, and don't have elitist-secret-exclusive-club mindset.
The way you sound, /a2/ isn't really much different from /a/.
>>62736973
>elitist-secret-exclusive-club mindset
They don't. They just don't want shit posters from /v/(like you)
>>62737021
the fact that the link is not in the top navigation of 4chan says it's elitist, with a dictatorial mod. you're no different from reddit, where if you say a different opinion or different taste, you get downvoted and banned.
that's why I exclusively post on 4chan alone, the only remaining site with free speech, unlike tumblr, facebook, reddit, /a/, /a2/
>>62737095
But it is listed....
>>62737238
no it's not.
>>62735346
...and then there's this.
>>62722620
InuYasha is far superior in anime format than the manga. Mostly because Rumiko is a hack and men make everything better.
>>62722863
>5cm, not shit
Try Ghost in the Shell S.A.C, Paranoia Agent, and Serial Experiments Lain.
It seems the consensus with this show is that it's pretty good until L dies.
Ive been rewatching and I realize all these characters are edgy as fuck. No one is really likeable.
>>62738567
I watched this a while back and i remember enjoying it basically up until L introduces himself to Light, after that the show became nonsense.
>>62730841
filthy zeek
>>62720681
Episode 16 actually to be exact. The second misa comes into the show the quality starts rapidly declining
>>62720458
At first I enjoyed it but it eventually devolved into a mess of anime logic that killed my suspension of disbelief and a game of "I know that he knows that I know that he knows etc. so I should do this"
>>62723056
psycho pass is like that kid in middle school who tries way too hard to be as edgy and dark as possible
>>62734978
SAO's main character was a gay as fuck mary sue
>>62721379
What?
There's no female lead on death note, is a full-on yaoi manga.

AoT is terrible, though, and this coming from someone who watches anime and occasionally falls to sleep watching big shounen (One Piece is great).
>>62722863
There you go.
Recently rewatched DN.
Yeah, it's pretty fucking entry level (read "edgy as fuck"), but it's not terrible.
Video related is probably the best episode.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNEIEhWrBS0
Also Brad Swaile is comfy as fuck (also Godai and Rock) - yeah, I mostly watch anime when I'm drunk and am not completely committed, so I'll use English dub when it's available (which is less than 10% of the time anyways).
Re-watching Higurashi for the first time in years and the dub is terrible, but when I'm passing out in bed I'm not reading subtitles.
>>62740546

this is shit people who have seen less then 30 different shows do
>>62724041
I've been noticing that very often when someone is talking about Japan they say "Asia" or "East Asia" instead. What the fuck is up with that? It makes no sense.
Putting that aside, anime isn't a genre, and the quality of fiction is not determined exclusively by how "philosophical" it is. You are just pretentious.
>>62730641
>people actually believe anime is worth anything, at all
It is, so why wouldn't people "believe" it?
>>62733579
Code Geass is only good in R2, because it fully embraces how fucking retarded the whole thing is.
>>62742313
I kept listing 3 out of those four as my top three, personal favorite series, and then one day realized they're all from different decades, so decided to make that "chart".
Picking a best of the 90's was difficult, but I went with Utena. The other three I absolutely love.
>>62742204
>your 80's and 70's pick is shit though
What would you have gone with?
Pretty much everything Miyazaki has done since Future Boy Conan has been derivative, and Maison Ikkoku is easily Takahashi's best anime adaptation, and the best sol/romance-comedy series ever.
>>62740546
Could you at least put the titles? Not all of us are full-fledged weebs who know everything.
>>62742414
Future Boy Conan
Maison Ikkoku
Revolutionary Girl Utena
Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo
Google any of them with "review" at the end and read the first couple of things that come up if you don't know where else to get an opinion on whether or not an anime is worth watching.
