Beautiful tall healthy figure, sappy turn off non upward slanted eyes.
Why don't anime MCs seek their father's approval anymore?
Characterization would cut out valuable time that could be used animating tits.

Wait, from which Silent Hill is the glasses-guy?
All of them are fags with bad fathers.

Hey /a/ what do you think of Astro Fighter Sunred?
>>137199553
It was the best show /a/ never watched.
Every single fucking episodes of both seasons were masterpiece.

Sunred was amazing
Creators from across all media have taken upon the idea that art can be interpreted in different ways. With anime it's no different, the directors and scriptwriters of man of the anime which make people analalyze them like Eva, Lain or Utena have stated in interviews that its up to the viewers to make their own interpretation.
Thing is from what I've seen this never really holds up. I'm the kind of person that doesn't want to spoil himself with these kinds of interpretations and wants to solve the puzzle himself, even if it means rewatching the show keeping in mind what I've gathered.
Then I go on-line to see what other people figured out and it's usually pretty much the same. Usually it's just certain details that are different and after some re-evaluation I usually acknowledge I was wrong after taking a look at the specific scenes the problems I relate to. If it's something I still disagree with there is usually someone out there who had the same thought as well.
I mean, the creators usually have something specific in mind and it has to be at least somewhat specific for them to create a consistent narrative. To make it open to various consistent interpretations they'd have to create a work designed to those and that would be rather painful and it would make the art more of a game than any kind of personal expression that creators usually aim to.
I think the creators just say this because they don't want to spoil the puzzle for their viewers. It's supposed to be a bit of a game and you never see game developers providing a solution in the manual, because that would miss the whole point.
So do anons think otherwise or agree with me on this.
TL;DR The whole "Everyone can create their own interpretation" idea is a load of bull.
Not to downplay your post but I think you're stating the obvious.

Maybe I just had the impression that people will often say that it doesn't matter since every interpretation is valid, it's important that it's your own.

I want to start by clarifying this for this specific series. No they didn't. Ueda said that he wanted people to REACT differently. That is, west and east cultures to react to the series differently so they would come together and discuss their own cultural differences.
Art always has a singular purpose. That's a fact. There is no piece of art that has no driving idea behind it and its parts. The only way this works is if the driving idea is to create something incoherent, and that is not possible with a medium that needs and has a plot. By initiating such content, the artist(s) always branch off from what they are doing and always have their considerations. An anime with a plot and with ideas that authors have clarified in interviews is not and will never be up to interpretation. That is a cop out for both fans who are too lazy and would rather resort to "lol it's whatever you want" and for authors who don't care enough to say "figure it out" or don't care to explain what they were thinking.

Sup /a/. Haven't been here for ages, decided to lurk for a while to check you out.
What the fuck is wrong with you, /a/? Why the fuck did nobody mention that at least one good SoL anime exists? Pic related.
Also, has this board become solely for people who watch anime for incredibly softcore porn because they're too "pure" (lmao) to just fap to porn? Well, I guess 99 % of the time this would be a ridiculous question--considering the threads on page one--but come the fuck on.
SoL is the best genre.
Also we talked about it when it aired.

I like Barakamon, but your thread is horrible OP.
How's that backlog coming along?
Going through it at a decent rate currently.
Finished Hidamari and now its one of favorites.
Tried forcing myself through the rest of Aria the Natural but I think I'll go back to umi monogatari instead.
Keeping up with 1 series(12+ episodes) a week since November. Found good shit like Katanagatari and Ping Pong.
Will start Samumenco tonight.

i keep forgetting where i was in the different shows. in some cases i end up rewatching the same few episodes because i've forgotten everything.
Lol I just finished the two seasons of this shit and it's clear that the author is a frustrated virgin that think it's ok to assault a woman. No matter what in every kind of media characters doing this shit get called out but every episode ends with a guy falcon punching a girl and everyone is ok with it.
Anyone who likes this crap is a mysogynist pig.
But it is okay to assault women.
