Anime is the most retarded brainrot shit ever

I’ll go to bat for anime from the 80s-late 90s.

At the time, animation in the USA was for kids only with so few exceptions they’re not worth mentioning. Meanwhile you had actually interesting sci-fi and horror anime coming over from Japan. At age 13 in the 90s, I was 100x more interested in the stories and themes the japs were exploring in anime than anything animated in the west.

With that out of the way, I haven’t followed anything since the 90s except for Attack on Titan which was fucking perfect to read with my son who was 11 at the time. I also think the manga for Chainsaw Man part 1 was very good. Actually everything that dude has written is pretty spectacular.

Why would you admit this? It’s a faggot Nip story!

Other than sushi those slant eyed fucks have only been good for one thing: nuke practice

I watched One Punch Man because ol' Billy Redface talked about it on his pawdkeest once. It was alright. I heard there was a second season but apparently it wasn't good and I don't care enough to check it out.

Anime is pretty boring anyway. Lots of characters standing around, waiting, establishing shots, characters gasping or saying each others' names to take up time, it's all so tiresome. I watch stuff to be entertained, not take in a "mood".

This is Rick tier faggotry arguing. Anime is fucking gay. Just admit it. @NoBacon And his dork chair levels here. I’m sure there are good anime’s with good stories. Doesn’t mean it’s not fucking gay. I’m gay for even posting this. See? It’s not hard.

 

[Fuck]

I’m sure there are good anime’s with good stories.

There aren't

It’s pure poison.

Fuck dude! You only watched the first season? Don’t read anything about it. It’s a legitimate masterpiece. He planned out his whole storyline for the entire thing before he wrote it and it pays off so big. The characters you wind up caring about, where the plot goes, it gets fucking nuts.

I enjoyed reading it and watching it as much as I enjoyed Game of Thrones books 1-3. It’s that good in how he sets up plot elements and character arcs.

It does fall apart a little bit in the final act, but I think that’s a consequence of him setting a deadline to finish the story and meeting it, as opposed to faggot George Martin letting his bullshit sprawl so far that the story can’t be concluded.

Edit: to be clear, it IS a story for boys age 10-15, but in that arena and within its genre it’s almost unmatched.

@PogromStallone i have a lot of thoughts about the ending as well, but I forgive them all because it was a great ride and at least he committed to ending it and did so.

I’ll tell ya one thing and I’m not afraid to say it, my estimation of @Harry Tasker as a man, just fuckin plummeted

I have tried. It’s meant for people with autism and/or bad social skills. I’m glad you enjoy it though, I really am.

I have been told a million times that show is a masterpiece, and possibly the greatest anime ever made, but it's about 14 year old girls piloting mechs.

Can't anime faggots just be normal and watch Everybody Loves Raymond

Akira and the vampire hunter D movies are it for me

The movie that the forms suggested. Great motion picture.

Attack on Titan was so good. Not sure how it fared outside of the first season, but I highly enjoyed what I have seen.

For me AoT is far too gory and nihlistic, gratuitously so. Just one episode made me feel so physically sick and full of baseless dread that I had to turn it off. As did Akira, though at least that had a stronger message with a less fascistic point. And I've been known to partake in Wagnerian opera, hunting and some giallo films, saying that.



The only anime--of the hundred I've regrettably seen because a sibling or housemate or partner has forced me to watch--that I've ever found to be deep and moving are Serial Experiments Lain, Belladonna Of Sadness, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Revolutionary Girl Utena and Wolf's Rain. All genuinely lovely, artful, prescient and haunting works that actually did make me ponder existence and tear up a bit. Depressing, though.

And the only anime series I can have a nice time watching of my own accord as an adult, and think is sweet, funny, credible and not in some way creepy (the ones I mention above are creepy despite being good) is Maria-sama ga miteru, probably because I went to a strict buttoned-up school replete with etiquette rituals like the one in the show, so it felt very cosy and familiar to me. This one is a very good wind-down, bedtime or lazy sunday teatime watch. And you don't feel like a nonce for liking it.



Other than that, I had younger siblings & cousins I was forced to babysit for years, as well as a few Emo nerd friends at school, and so throughout my youth was unfortunately subjected to dreadful interminable epileptic rubbish like Dragonball, Yu-Gi-Oh, Shaman King, One Piece, Digimon, Hamtaro, Tokyo Mew Mew, Fruits Basket, Lucky Star, Strawberry Panic, Sonic X, Teen Titans, Jackie Chan, Megas XLR, Rave Master, Air Gear, Naruto, Death Note, Inuyasha, Bleach, Gundam, Fullmetal Alchemist, Black Butler, Outlaw Star, hackSIGN, JoJo, Bobobo whatever it's called etc. (it's annoying me that I even remember all this) Whatever dreck they put on 4Kids & Toonami, basically. And it never fucking ended. None of it holds up or had any value, and was just made to sell toys & videogames.

The only ones I could stand back then were Sailor Moon (though tbh I preferred the live action drama or the stage show), Vampire Princess Miyu (main character was a misanthrope with empathy and low angst, imagine that), Monster Rancher (the grumpy rapid wolf was pfg, and I liked telling peers at the time that the game was better than Pokemon to wind them up), Ginga Densetsu Weed (I'm a Brit so I love dogs), Prince of Tennis (I'm a Brit so I find tennis soothing), Cromartie High School (suprisingly funny though I can't explain how or why), and Shin Chan (bonkers, confrontational and meta--the titular Shin reminds me of Pests). Wouldn't go back and watch them now, though. People keep recommending Lupin III to me and saying it would be up my street, not sure about that.



Hmm. So I suppose I do like more anime than I realised, actually. Several series and a few films worth. It's still mostly really stupid, disposable and low-quality though, 90% of it, I stand by that. My cousins' dim kids are massively into it, now, so I don't let them visit. Fed up of them, now.

This is Joe cumia level copypasta if he was a neckbeard faggot instead of just the regular kind of faggot
