My favorite anime is Gochiusa and there is nothing wrong with that.
Well moeshit is personally my favorite genre but I appreciate other things too. Gunbuster is my favorite, for example.

There's good moe, and there's boring moe. Gochiusa is the latter.
Evangelion.
I don't delve in to anime because it's inherently lower quality and there is still plenty of series I haven't seen yet.
balls to the wall
I've only watched akame ga kill and parasyte and liked both. I posted on /a/ once and it got deleted so I assume those are considered complete garbage.
Is kill la kill similar to akame at all?
Anything by Satoshi Kon. Even acclaimed directors such as Darren Aronofsky and Christopher Nolan borrow from his works.
I'm looking for anime that gets perverted as hell, but stops short of porn.
Panty shots, cameltoes, tits and ass.
I can find porn easily, but I suck at finding the stuff thats in between.
Kinda like Queens Blade, Moetan, or that monster girl anime.
>>64372593
You mean something like this?
/tv/ anime threads are so comfy.
>anime is objectively terrible!!
>Cowboy Bebop is the best anime ever made!!
>>64372591
It's kindof funny because Kon borrowed pretty much all of his plot/character design stuff from western cinema. His films are basically anime interpretations of western film. Not that that's a bad thing or anything. He's automatically based because of his use of Susumu Hirasawa.
>>64372322
A few more ghibli titles in the film section, /tv/ definitely likes Only Yesterday and Nausicaa. The Girl who Leapt through Time, maybe?
Why is Madoka in the film section?

Yeah, Madoka's in the wrong spot thanks. Honestly bumping that up to the top, I feel like /tv/ would be put off by the girls but if they make it to episode 3 they'll be good. TGwLtT might be too silly imo.

>>64373551
Well, I could make a chart but the thing with this list is that it's been shifting and morphing for years according to /tv/'s tastes, I've just always had an interest in film and got into anime from that perspective so it's interesting to me to see how western film/television people like their anime. I also like turning people to the dark side and I feel like a good list like that does this.
A chart feels too permanent. I just changed something about the list because of this thread, for instance.
>>64373689
Yeah, /tv/ likes a lot of /v/ tier anime but they aren't as bad as /v/. The stuff at the top of the list is generally great, it's sortof snowflake to think otherwise. Besides, contribute or stfu, nerd.

>>64375402
The reason people like Kon and Kurosawa are so popular with western audiences are because their films borrow largely from western cinema. Try comparing Kurosawa's films to Ozu's, and Kon's films to Takahata's to sort of understand what I mean. Kon largely does your basic cookie cutter western mystery/thriller, very reminiscent of Hitchcock story structure.
Don't get me wrong, I love Kon, and he put some interesting stuff on the table. There's a reason he's popular with western audiences, is what I'm saying.
>>64375452
>>64375508
I'd argue that moe is the patrician's choice of anime 2bh

If you have any kind of passing interest in sci-fi and animation, you owe it to yourself to watch Roujin Z.
>>64375737
You're exaggerating things quite a bit if you think that's what I'm saying.
Kon is literally japanese cinema. His film design obviously and undeniably borrows largely from commonalities in western cinema, as opposed to commonalities in japanese cinema. Denying this is silly and contrarian.

Why would a weeb be patriotically proud about western influences concerning specific directors from decades ago? Kon is one of my least favorite popular anime film directors, largely because of the formulaic and predictable designs of films like PB, MA and TG. The only thing I really appreciate about him is his choice of composer for Paprika and MA. I like SoL depictions and subtle emotional twists in my nip films.it's possible I might just enjoy discussing film dynamics you dip. Not everything is a competition but because you made it one I'm gonna push ya back into ya fokken mum ya cunt
>>64376572
Westerners often have an inferiority complex towards anime because of its superiority over Western animation, and sometimes try to take credit for it (it's all thanks to Disney/this or that anime is clearly "Western").
>Not everything is a competition but because you made it one I'm gonna push ya back into ya fokken mum ya cunt
What the fuck are you talking about?
>>64376572
Formulaic is seriously one of the most annoying words in cinema discussion

They should make a Teppu anime. If I win a multi-million dollar jackpot I'll pay madhouse for one season where every second of every episode is like the dream sequence from OPM.

>>64376628
Literally a weeb, the last thing I'm going to do is project myself into 50s-60s western directors and pretend that I identify with their accomplishments and pretend that I by proxy am responsible for Kon's accomplishments, how autistic are you?
I'm just making the obvious observation that Satoshi Kon's filmmaking borrows heavily from western cinema compared to most other Japanese cinema. Denying that is ignorance or contrarianism.
>>64376646
It's a completely applicable one. If you hear it a lot and don't like it, stop watching stereotypical bullshit and step out of your comfort zone, discuss the new things you watch and you'll hear it a little less.

Disney being influential doesn't mean that it's the last word on animation and that everything that came after it is inferior.

Start getting into CGDCT. Perfect for twenty something year old males. It's like a drug. Keeps you from wanting to go postal and sperg out with an AR at the local mall.
>>64377117
Wait, you didn't actually think it's a book about the word weeaboo............ Do you?
It's about how you are vastly misunderstanding how words work and their meanings.
In short, it's about semantics.
Can't believe you actually thought that book is about the word 'weeb'.
Holy fuck.

>I didn't say anything about /a/.

I'm not a kid anymore so I can't relate to alot of Anime. There's no more time for a 26 year old to have an adventure.

You can grow out of anime like DBZ since it's intended for children to begin with, but I didn't really watch anime until I was in my twenties.
>>64377268
Weeaboo has always meant wannabe Japanese. The fact that you don't know what the word means doesn't mean the word suddenly means something else.
>Can't believe you actually thought that book is about the word 'weeb'.
I can't believe you brought it up when it isn't at all relevant.
>>64377272

>>64377317
CGDCT is the opposite of adventure.
It's literally just watching girls be cute.
Also, irrelevantly, you're completely wrong. You can grab a backpack, a sleeping bag and a ukulele, go to a freeway onramp, stick out your thumb and start adventuring right now. Alternatively, you can wagekek up 3-6 grand, fly to china, walk out into the wilderness and start a bandit gang and see how long it takes for you to die. I could sit here and give you ideas all day. The only reason you can't have adventure is because you don't want it.
In which case, turn on some Keion and relax.

The lack of plot in CGDCT is one of it's finest features. It's pure art. Stress/suspense free entertainment.
You thinking it has anything to do with pedophilia reflects your lack of experience with the genre. It's much more comparable to watching a box full of kittens play.

I need a anime to watch. Not moeshit or some love drama bullshit.
I haven't watched anime in such a long time because I got so bored of it. Anything to recommend that you guys like?

Sure you have.
>>64377984
Eh, I enjoy Evangelion and Mobile Suit Gundam. I also enjoy anime that have a very dark tone to them.
I don't watch much nowadays because modern anime is very generic in my opinion. Call me a hipster but I kind of get sick of seeing the same tsundere and the same loli character over and over again.
So I'd prefer something modern with my preferences. Anything you have in mind?
>>64378042

It is what it is though, not presumptions if I've actually tried watching the shit, even into season 5-6 of adventure time when it tries to go all superdrama like with the ice king or whatever his name was holding baby marceline or whatever it was, and then turning into relationship drama with that flame girl

That doesn't actually happen though.
>>64378083
Definitely watch Madoka Magica for more modern stuff. You'll probably love the shit out of it. Make it to episode 3 at least before judging.
Berserk is essential darkness core if you haven't gotten through it, but it's late 90s.
Anime is in a slump for good dark stuff.

What are some good animes that are on the same tone as True Detective season 1, if theres any?
In other words, any animes about sinister, occult, shit? Conspiracies, secret societies? People investigating something thats the tip of the iceberg and then discovering that they have gotten into something bigger?
Anything like this?
Inside Out, Anomalisa, Song of the Sea are all much better than any anime released this year. The last good anime was The Tale of Princess Kaguya.

Anno didn't direct Wings of Honneamise. But it's true that several Gainax works surpass it: Evangelion, FLCL, Diebuster and TTGL in particular. It's still pretty great though.
>>64378143
I posted it so obviously I watched it. Anyways, if you use dumb memes like in that post then it's kind of hard to treat you seriously. Maybe next thread you can try a different approach when nobody will know it's you.
the GOAT anime is the samurai champloo episode where they play baseball

>>64372087
>>64378127
To be quite straightforward it's boring and tedious compared to Gunbuster, Eva and Nadia. I'd literally rec the daicon opening before that movie to somebody. It's not that great.
This is coming from someone who is obsessed with Gunbuster. I have no issue with Anno himself.
What do you like about it so much? Are you just being obscure with Anno stuff? Please explain to me your fascination with this excruciating movie with unlikable characters.

>>64378294
Evangelion is one of the greatest accomplishments in the medium, and it completely changed the face of anime. Easily AotD for the 90s.
Wings is just sortof a boring movie. You won't even explain why it's so good.

>Unlikable characters
Why dont you start by explaining to me why you found them unlikable?
We have most of the interaction with Shiro and Riquinni, who are pretty straightfoward nothing much out of the ordinary types of characters.
On one side you have Shiro, a man looking for a purpose, something greater, thats tired of life and, after confronting he funeral and death of a friend, looks past the barrier of life and finally understands that he wants to give it, even if it means death itself.
And on the other side you have Riquinni, a religious woman in contact with her spirit, again, confronting the tragedies of poverty, homelesness, preaching the word of her religion at her own expenses.
Both are very likable characters if you ask me and more than one will feel identified with them.
Its a great movie that goes beyond the plot of ''Launching the first rocket into space''.
And, the most important, it shows the Journey of Shiro whos resolved on his objective. Whats not to like, really?
>>64378399
>Oh boy, it's this retarded weeb again.
You're confusing me with someone else.
>I didn't say that. I called anime childish.
Meaning what, exactly?
>>64378408
>accomplishments in the medium
How so? Explain me.
>>64378433
Infantile.
>>64378294
You should have a look at the series that were influenced by Eva. The state the industry was in before it's release.
There is no arguing the fact that it was ground breaking.
>>64378465
Meaning what, exactly?
>>64378231
It won't be exactly the same but: Serial Experiments Lain, Evangelion, Haibane Renmei, Texhnolyze, Paranoia Agent, Baccano, Kaiba, Casshern Sins, Mawaru Penguindrum.
If you want something without fantasty or sci-fi elements then check out Monster.
>>64378473
Yes, I can do that.
But right now we're looking at Eva itself, could you please tell me why you find it so good?
I recently tried to get into gundam, starting with 0079 and oh boy i couldnt.
Had to stop at episode 7 or so holy shit its too old and they reuse animations left and right like its going out of style.
>>64378487
Immature.
>>64378489
Monster is so unrealistic it's basically fantasy.
>>64378508
>could you please tell me why you find it so good?
Me?
Honestly it's one of my earliest memories, I couldn't even speak when I remember watching this late at night with my dad on SBS.
I nostalgia on it like nothing else.
As for the objective reason why it is so good? It revolutionized the mecha genre, it created character archetype's which are still being used today, it critiqued the current Japanese society and the 'men' of the time. It had interesting symbolisim and unique ideas.
It was simply good.
>>64378412
I think your mom may be retarded.
The only points of humor in the show are playing with Japanese tropes, and Japanese puns. Your mother can't possibly be getting either.
>>64378547
Ignoring the fact that you're exaggerating it still carries itself like a realistic western
![[Exiled-Destiny]_To_Heart_Ep04_(E85F17D6).mkv_snapshot_17.15_[2016.01.01_11.46.02].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/JScfLuw.jpg "[Exiled-Destiny]_To_Heart_Ep04_(E85F17D6).mkv_snapshot_17.15_[2016.01.01_11.46.02].jpg")
I started watching To Heart recently (a 90s adaptation of a visual novel), and I'm surprised by how sophisticated it is. The animation and art are consistently good, and it has a pretty grounded, naturalistic feel to it. There isn't even much background music, it's mostly ambient sounds.
>>64378522
I could ask ask "Meaning what, exactly?" again, but it's clear you're just going around in circles because you don't have an answer.
>>64378450
Eva rebooted the declining medium in Japan almost singlehandedly, along with spawning dozens of mecha and experimental series, such as Lain, Texh and RahXephon. People still talk about it enthusiastically twenty years later. It is one of the most prominent series in the entire medium, and it being so prominent after twenty years reflects it's quality. Questioning the historical importance of Eva within the context of anime is asinine. It changed everything, nobody questions that.
Wings is just sortof a shitty movie.

It's not like Evangelion was anywhere near the first "dark" anime to have been made.
>>64373933
This is the best of /a/'s charts right here.
Subsequent edits of this are all due to a few specific fanbases being butthurt and trying to shoehorn in flavor of the season stuff in too. Read this it makes a lot of sense.

>>64378767
>It's not like Evangelion was anywhere near the first "dark" anime to have been made.
More a long the lines of a Japanese anime writer not having seen the greatest anime of all time. Until he made his own which is similar in ways to said other anime.
It's a blatant lie from the writer, or you for saying the writer said what he did.
Not the guy you were talking to, just giving my 2 cents.
>>64378508
Not him but:
- the way each of the elements: characters, plot, setting and visual imagery serve thematic exposition relating to the subjects of human relations and escapism
- spectacular visual direction: anno's shot composition which often are as or much more informative than the dialogue or action itself, greatly animated scenes by Yoshinari (when need for exaggeration) and Iso (when need for realism), Sadamoto's and Anno's designs which are some of the most iconic and memorable in the medium. End of Evangelion is just pure, suberb kinomatography
- The characters, each of them serve thematic purpose but also stand on their own is well written, detailed and complex. On top of that as I mentioned earlier we get to know them through multiple layers of exposition, what they say, the way they act and through a look into their minds
- as in the last point, the visualized streams of consciousness which you must admit are pretty damn unique. It's basically Joyce/Pynchon on film.
- The multi-layed lore and surreal narrative, not just the content but the way in which we get to know of all of it. We're dosed the information little by little but even by the end we have to put all the pieces together ourselves. This adds an element of interactivity which isn't inherent in the medium. It's something akin to reading Book of the New Sun or Gravity's Rainbow.
- it's rewatch value, seriously. You'll gain so much by watching it the second time, there's so much subtle shit you can only get if you have the full or at least most of the picture after the first watch. It's just perfectly crafted. I mean just in the first episode we have a scene were the Eva protects Shinji randomly for seemingly no reason, when everyone says it never does that. You'll only get why this happened after you finished it. Hell, the first minute has something like this.
Art can speak to the heart, mind and eyes. Evangelion created a perfect balance of all those elements.
>>64378760
It's not our fault that it was near impossible to access anime at the time, unless you lived by a Suncoast, or you were fortunate enough to have a local video store that rented it out.
Monster is LITERALLY the only good anime ever made.

That's literally the point. It's a spattering of entry level examples of several genres.

I agree and I have to give credit where credit is due, Evangelion is trully good.
>>64378811
How good is Monster? Never got past the first episode.
>>64378828
I don't get why everyone hates on the main stream, it's what gets you into anime.
I used a chart much like that when I first got into anime, they are beyond value. I still use them every now and again to see if there were any larger titles I may have missed.
You're pretty deluded if you think you're the only one who watched 'obscure anime x' and call it your favorite.
>>64378760
Anno didn't direct, write or produce it, and it wasn't even screened in the West until 1994 (UK) and 1995 (US).
>>64378796
Lain started airing in July 1998. Production likely started 6-12 months before that, and who knows how long pre-production took. So it wouldn't be odd if the writer hadn't seen Evangelion at the time.
>>64378697
Yeah, but even so no one would produce such an avant-garde series if not for the success of Eva. I mean think about how many original tv series do you know that aired before Eva. How many series aimed at an adult audience? The only thing that you've got would be some mecha series, but those couldn't rely on their own and had to be supported by selling toys.
Not to mention how many surreal, psychological drama series like Eva do you know from before Eva? Stuff like Texhnolyze, Lain, Paranoia Agent etc.
Eva didn't have to directly inspire those, but it allowed those series to be actually produced.
The industry was in a pretty bad state since 1988 and only Ghibli was able to produce more unique stuff at the time (though still most of it was aimed at kids). GITS alone in 1995 wouldn't be able to pick it up back and if it did it would probably be mainly for film and not for tv shows like it was earlier on in 84-88.
>>64378910
>So it wouldn't be odd if the writer hadn't seen Evangelion at the time.
Yes, yes it would. Even if prdocution began in 1997, Eva had still been finished for ~ a year. It's extremely unlikely and if it were true it's simply a childish remark from a renound writer.
>>64378828
Stuff like Honneamise, YKK, LoGH, et al. may be /a/-core but they're full on cultshit to the rest of the community.
>>64378910
>The authors were asked in interviews if they had been influenced by Neon Genesis Evangelion, in the themes and graphic design. This was strictly denied by writer Chiaki J. Konaka in an interview, arguing that he had not seen Evangelion until he finished the fourth episode of Lain. Being primarily a horror movies writer, his stated influences are Godard (especially for using typography on screen), The Exorcist, Hell House, and Dan Curtis's House of Dark Shadows. Alice's name, like the names of her two friends Julie and Reika, came from a previous production from Konaka, Alice in Cyberland, which in turn was largely influenced by Alice in Wonderland. As the series developed, Konaka was "surprised" by how close Alice's character became to the original Wonderland character.[9]
>>64378961
Wow how childish of him to have not watched a series as it aired or immediately afterwards. He must be literally 12.
>>64378994

That's childish, like what you are doing.

>How good is Monster?
It's great, interesting, but with a lot of filler episodes which don't really have anything to do with the main storyline but are pretty nice on their own.
>>64378893
>Well then, seems like I am defeated.
You should treat it as a chance to look at the show anew and learning how to admire it. It's win-win in my opinion.
I didn't regard it that highly the first time. I was pretty damn impressed and it did pander to some of my preferences (the surreal elements specifically). But back then it was like an 8/10 for me. Then I got a bit more into both animation and film, plus explored different media in general. I think it gave me more insight into what I value in each medium and how each can utilize its elements to create a narrative.
When I watched it again, both the series and the film it was a clear 10/10.
>>64379095
>I didn't regard it that highly the first time

>>64379081
Haha epic. At least anime isnt being used to promote jewish ideas like movies and tv series.
>>64379022
It's not like it was instantly decided that Evangelion is a Really Important Show that everyone has to see, and even if there's a lot of buzz around a series it doesn't mean everyone will watch it immediately or at all (I still haven't gotten around to watching Evangelion). Konaka wasn't even necessarily a hardcore anime fan.
>>64379036
>1 show from "then" vs. many hundreds of shows now
>SEL is representative of all anime "then"
Great post Anon.
>>64379132
Yes, anime doesn't promote any ideas. It's just so shallow.
>>64379132
>In most cases, a production committee (a group of several related companies) buys a time slot from a TV station. This process is known as brokered programming, and is similar to how infomercials are broadcast. Therefore, unlike ordinary programs, production companies are sponsoring companies as well. This way, TV stations can fill the time slots with low viewership, while production companies can advertise their products (anime DVDs) at a lower cost. Since a production’s purpose is to promote the title to fans, low ratings or a lack of sponsors is of little concern. Consequently, the number of late night anime is increasing. The fact that they rely on the sales of DVDs means that these anime are virtually the same as OVAs, except that they get a chance to be promoted. This is why "pure" OVA series have decreased rapidly.
Late night anime literally ruined everything. It killed most normal anime running in primetime leaving behind only the kiddiest of kiddie shows, and killed the ova market which at least had high production values to go with its otaku pandering shit.
