Why isn't Daria the greatest animated series ever? Who here liked it? I thought that shit was cash
>>64969719
if you are in the lower 30's daria was great. it was about the ennui of the late 90's
literally no one else will get it.
It was bretty gud, but I think Mission Hill was better.
because daria was not very relatable for most people who liked to watch cartoons when it aired.
Just tried to watch an ep last summer, it was literally tumblr: the series, I bet social networks of that time loved it.
>>64969719
>that shit was cash
Back to Reddit.
You realize there is a board for western animation, right?
Fucking astounding how lazy redditors are getting
>>64970154
You realize this is a board to television and film, right? Daria is a television show.
>>64970090
>The social networks of the mid-90s.
Uhhh, mods?
>>64970207
And western cartoons belong on /co/
My Little Pony is a television show too, doesn't mean you are allowed to post it here
>>64970135
lol not being on 4chan back when people were saying that. Have fun telling people to go to reddit
>>64970226
Xanga and LiveJournal I guess.
Gave the first season a proper watch recently, I really enjoyed it. I recommend the fan-restored versions with the original music. Captures the zeitgeist better than shitty stock music.
Really love the finale where Daria gets BTFO. It proves she's not some all-knowing, right-about-everything outcast, sometimes she's wrong and an absolute cunt. I like that.
>>64969719
First saw it as a kid. Thought it was the best thing ever.
Upon rewatch as an adult it's alright.
>>64970135
Oh the irony
>watching daria
>dad would come in and talk about how he wanted to fuck her, effectively ruining the episode
>>64970273
I don't remember there being a Daria board like there is an MLP board. Astonishing how you genuinely try to police one of the shit boards.
>>64970090
It doesn't seem very tumblr-esque. What part of the show makes you think about tumblr other than the fact that tumblr uses quotes from it constantly?
its basically reddit the show
>>64970408
were to get this fan restored version?
>>64970712
I got it from Myspleen.
The author seems to be JewRye if that helps, might be on some public trackers or other websites.

Daria was a proto-hipster
>>64971242
Thanks anon
>>64971290
The sun is bright.
>>64971290
How?
Hipsters are alternative but fashionable, Daria was alternative and unfashionable.
>>64971350
unfashionable is fashionable these days
>>64969719
because Xavier: Renegade Angel is
I guess I never liked her dry and pessimistic views- I try to be optimistic so I suppose her character clashes with my own personality so it's probably just a personal dislike.
>>64971376
Well Daria is pretty /fa/ except for the fact that her coat has a FUCKING ZIP instead of buttons.
>>64970273
No, that's not how it works dipshit.
>>64971426
The show doesn't always present her as in the right or someone you can relate to.
I'd hate to be that salty too, but that's what makes it entertaining for me. There are people like this out there.
>>64971290
Definitely not. This is what most people don't get about her character. She wasn't apart of any social group. That was the message of the show/her character. She was smart enough to see through the artificial nature of high-school social groups and therefore refused to try to fit in to any of them. However if you actually watch the show you can see that the whole "social outcast" complex she developed was purely constructed within her own mind. Throughout the show she is given numerous chances by literally every other character to fit in and none of them actually disliked her at all. In fact in many cases, they outright say 'they look up to her' and everyone seems to go to her for advice and frequently refer to her as "smart". You kind of get fooled into thinking she's "unpopular" but that too is a construction within the mind of her sister/the fashion club. They are the antithesis of her - who care ONLY about fitting in. Daria's sister gets BTFO towards the end of the show by her tutor and she starts to release how artificial it all is too. There's so much more to this show than it lets on. It's demographic sells itself short. Really you need to much much older than a highschooler to really pick up on a lot of the themes presented in the show.
>>64972348
bretty gr8 review, m8. I can dig it
Daria's dad was fucking hilarious.
>>64969719
3 South was better
>>64972348
This guy gets it. Daria is rarely directly antagonized. The closest thing to a bully is Daria herself, maaaaaybe Gwen.
>>64973070
i used to watch daria back in the day with my gf, a fucking cheerleader and her sister, a goth bitch with her boyfirend the god damned biggest guy on the football team (he was linebacker but he should have been defensive end, which was my job)
tv shows back then assumed you knew everything was fucked. you faggot kids now wouldnt even understand. sifl and olly was the good show back then. if you faggot kids can even pretend to understand sifl and olly i will give you 20 internets. your friends on the twitter will upvote the facebooks.
>>64970090
If you only skim the surface, yes. If you actually watch the show and pay attention, Kinda, but not in the way I think you mean.
Most of Daria's problem is that she has trouble relating to people and instead of trying to grow, she mainly is hateful and judgmental to them which is mostly offputting. The show doesn't follow the tumblr mantra though because most of the recurring characters are actually shown to be decent people despite their being based on stereotypes. By the end, Daria learns to tolerate and even kinda like many of the people she hated in the beginning. Daria herself could be said to be like a tumblr girl, but the show doesn't shy away from pointing out that Daria's main flaw is her mostly self-inflicted lack of social skills.
So you're not entirely wrong, but also not entirely right. It was a good show, though I will say Daira was probably the least interesting character. I kinda liked Quinn's character more.

>sifl and olly

>>64973287
I keep cereal in my pocket for all the pretty girls.
>>64972348
I need to rewatch this show.
>>64971290
Hipsters were around before Daria.
>>64973331
i gotta re-watch the whole thing but all i've got is a low quality torrent
>>64973267
I liked Jane. She was as smart and perceptive as Daria, but wasn't so far up her own ass about it.
>>64972348
Special snowflake here, I'm a 25 year old man and I can relate to Daira quite a bit.
Any favorite episodes?
For me it's either The Misery Chick or The Road Worrier. It's nice to see that Daria can be human in those episodes.
>>64972348
>>64973267
These anons get it. Season 2 and beyond the show gets really good and really fucking comfy. Daria isn't some Mary Sue. She's proven wrong. She gets called out for being an uncooperative ass. She suffers emotionally for having a superiority complex, but she never goes off the deep end so far that we stop rooting for her and she maintains a sense of being a "good person" despite her sarcasm.
The world could use a good dose of angsty Gen X cynicism.
>>64973901
The apex of her character growth is in Boxing Daria when she realizes that all the shit she's done in her life to be different has been causing her parents all kinds of trouble.
>>64973267
Yes. The show doesn't actually point the finger at any one thing, ie, Daria is wrong! or everyone else (the school/her peers/parents/mentors) are wrong! It's not that simple. The show simply presents, in a humorous way, American society from the perspective of a disenfranchised and jaded AND YET intelligent and empathetic youth. This is a major theme of the show. Duality. The duality of Daria and everyone around her. Things may seem black and white and you may want them to be (because its easier), but in reality it's not - things exist in a spectrum or gradient And they also fluctuate. Daria is navigating this spectrum and commenting on it at the same time. Her duality lies in her conflict. Do i sell out? Or i stay estranged? The answer she finds: Is neither. Because the system it self is artificial and becomes meaningless, once you leave high-school. You can apply this to every other character of the show. What is their duality?
>>64973901
proof
>>64974117
The wake up call.
This show should be used to teach psychology or something i swear. Because it really puts forth in such a clear and funny way, the nature of people.
I've never seen season 5. Is it worth watching?
I think it's appropriate that someone mentioned Mission Hill because I see a lot of similarity between Daria and Andy.
Self-sabotaging protagonists where a very Gen X thing.
>>64974406
Man, Mission Hill was so good
>tfw there was only one season

Mediocre spinoff of Beavis and Butthead.
>>64974406
It was a fun show, but I feel it lacked the sincere humanity that was the driving undercurrent of Daria.
i'd like to date a hotter version of daria
>>64975043
I think if they had gotten a second season it could have really gone places.
>>64975036
It's obvious you never watched the show or that you have a borderline mental retardation. B&B was funny because it was fart jokes. Daria was funny because it was satire.
>>64974385
Yes
I want to fuck Jane
>>64975064

we all want real life versions but saying you want to fuck the cartoon or whatever is dumb

>The world could use a good dose of angsty Gen X cynicism.
But Daria was born after 1981 making her a millennial.
>It's a Daria acts slutty to try to seduce her GP while getting a check up episode.
>>64976341
>1981
>Millennial
You're about 10 years off, bud.
Daria was definitely in the upper echelon of shows from it's decade as well as in the upper echelon of western animation overall. Sadly I think the final season kind of petered out, despite having a few of the best episodes in the show it still managed to be lackluster overall.
To claim the title of top animated TV show overall seems a bit of a stretch, and that's such a difficult category to give a "best of" award to anyway, especially when you throw foreign animation into the mix.
Daria will always be one of my favorites as far as western animation goes, but as far as the best one ever made? I'm not sure, that would probably go to King of the Hill or something made by Gennedy Tartakovsky.
>Its a Jane becomes qt af episode.
>>64969719
I can tell without needing any more information about you that you are a girl born during or post 1997, are obsessed with the 90s and idolize kurt cobain
>>64976956
Fuck off idiot, I know plenty of chicks in their 30's that love Daria
>>64976404
the millennial generation begins in the early to mid 80s
>>64969719
got overdramatic, stupid Tom character both unbelievable and stupid.
>>64977012
Do they also why it isnt the best animated series ever and think that shit was cash?
Quinn is my favorite lol and the asian one is funny 2.
trent of course is the hottest lolololol
Daria's pretty good I suppose. Relationship drama isn't entertaining for me though. The fanbase is also comprised of a lot of special snowflake girls.
>>64971426
She's " alternative" but at the same time even she herself realizes that she at some level is shallow like a Quinn.
It's a good but it's a good portrait of the era. Overworked parents. Token suburban black kids. And a hyper focus on a booming economy
Obligatory :
JANE ?
Show would've been much better without Tom.
Daria having a love interest? Great.
Daria stealing Jane's boyfriend? No.
Tom being an incredibly bland cardboard cutout? Not feeling it either.
If there were to be drama between Daria and Jane, I would have preferred it not about some boring ass dude.
>>64970317
I suppose but I remember those coming out after the show was done.
>>64977555
It kinda played into the Daria isn't the perfect girl mojo of the show. If you'd asked her she would have said she would NEVER steal someone's boyfriend, and she'd be telling the truth, but when the moment came, she went with it because she's a feeling imperfect person.
I think Tom came off as a cardboard cutout because he was kinda emotionally lazy. He didn't want to argue most of the time so he was just agreeable to Daria's shit. He was comfortable around her and thought she was a smart girl so he was content with the relationship in whatever way she wanted it.
>>64970090
>Tumblr the series
Do you even understand what that means? Daria was about the counterculture of the mid-late 90's, with the rest of her classmates being some late 90's stereotype.
>>64977814
fuggggggg
>>64972348
Perfect description, Daria is /tv/ as fuck
It was alright. The characters were 1 dimensional until they introduced Tom. It got better after that.
King of the Hill is and will probably remain the undisputed greatest animated series of all time, though.
>>64973808
Through the Lens Darkly is my go to, it explains Daria's character so well
DeMartino is easily the best character among the adults.
>>64977814
Disgusting how saccharine and sterile this image is. Completely misses the mark on the characters and devoid of the soul that made the series great. A glib imitation.
>>64972925
WHY DON'T THEY JUST PUT MARMADUKE TO SLEEP?
>>64969719
>Why isn't Daria the greatest animated series ever?
because daria does not acknowledge that she is like every girl, even when it is shown that she has the fantasies of other girl, especially with Trent.
and like other girls, she even found a castrated man to provide for her and refuse to be fucked by him and manage to make him proud not fuck her.
>>64980173
Good ol' cherrypicked images there, /pol/fag.
he he he diarrhea
I regularly dream of fucking daria and quinn in the ass, after I take their mom by all her holes.
>>64980509
And all three at the dame time
>>64980173
what? kek
>>64980509
Daria, no. Quinn, yes. Helen, maybe.
>>64981566
Helen is prime milf
