In spirit, Wonderful 101 captured the essence of Gurren Lagann the best, though Asura's Wrath is much more Gurren Lagann in it's plot arcs, as well as the DLC ending pretty much being the same as the OVA ending

>citizen kane of gaming

I swear to god everyone who throws that around either never saw CK or doesn't understand what it actually did for cinema

the story is good but not great, and isn't what it should be remembered for (though modern critics will felate it endlessly for rosebud). Its remarkably ambitious cinematography is why it became so famous: shots such as a focus on two characters talking while two more are reflected in the window so they could have all 4 in the frame.
This creative camerawork had a huge impact on how movies are made that still influences cinema to this day

a CKoG should be a game that is innovative and ambitious in terms of gameplay and influences future games for years to come
and sadly I would have to apply the term to Halo for popularizing health regen

You already got yourself spoiled about it so I don't know. I really enjoyed the ride from episode 7 onwards, but many would have preferred the show went nowhere with the narrative it started with.
>>
>>275650310
I'm way more /v/ than /a/ and episode 7 completely jumps the shark. I just wanted Kickass: the anime. Instead I got "we don't have a clue what we are trying to be": the anime.

What's your thoughts on the second season of GITS:SaC? Honestly, I thought it was probably one of the best examples if you want to show the absolute best the entire medium can be. Amazing animation, excellent music, a compelling plot, and decent pacing. Episode 18 was my favorite.

Also, this scene alone is probably the best in the series.

Oh I guess SM too. Sorry, forgot that one!
I recommend playing the rest of SHills without the 'character analysis' angle in mind.

It was about many things, but first and foremost about Angels vs Humans war.
Agendas of various persons and corporations, character development and interaction, weird 'unexplainable' events, finally the psychoanalysis angle and everything else are just parts of a very simple premise.
The way the plot is made if presented is what makes Eva what it is, but on the basic level it's just a mecha anime with a deconstruction twist. It's up to viewer to choose which part to focus on the most, but yeah. It's not any more of a focus than any of the other things

On the surface. In reality the whole show is about the creator Hideaki Anno. Every character is based on different sides of himself, the robots are from his obsession with mecha, the fan service is his love for, well, fan service.

Why is 99% of anime flooded with lighthearted and simple stories then? It's not as if there's a 50/50 divide between serious and nonserious. It's all fluff. Where is anime like the The Wire? The Sopranos? Rome? Where is, you know, some show that will stimulate the parts of my brain that grew after I turned 16? I'm not opposed to shounen or harem or moe or slice of life, I just don't get why that's all anime ever has to be.

The 'disguise' it probably the wrong word I used.
Seeing how Spears move and act on their own, I'm GUESSING this is some kind of a harness. To bring them in, but keep them in check.
This is never explicitly said, but makes sense, and the unweildly shape would be explained - it's basically a big sharp 'suitcase' with two handles.
