I was under the impression that we were posting characters with well thought out plans, foresight, and decision-making. The writing in NGNL was far too contrived to call anything or anyone in the show remotely "smart" or "tactical."

Meh I prefer Kaiji than him. I get so much more from Kaiji than that guy pandering.

>>135858754
The almighty Mahesvara/Taurus Silver? Will there even be a S2 for the anime?

>>135864269

He is our retard and a crybaby, we even cheered for him. When was the last time that happens?

>>135864269
If we're picking from that author wouldn't Akagi be the smartest character?

>>135863693
none of those things are presented as actual obstacles in the story

he just as easily could have had no penis and had panic attacks whenever he saw chocolate muffins, none of it matters if it has no bearing on the story

the shit involving his sister was used as an excuse to make him seem intelligent to the mouth-breathing retards who actually enjoyed NGNL

You're still mad you wasted money on TFA, aren't you?

>>135858699
Isn't there a guy in an anime that can beat people with powers with just his wits? Forgot his name.

Accelerator is smart enough to program a loli's brain manually by pushing around neurons.

None of the NERV scientists like Yui, Gendo, or Ritsuko and her mom?

>I was under the impression that...
>OP's image defies that impression

you're in the wrong thread then

the problem with smart characters in literature and specially in anime is that the authors must do a proper job of convincing us that their protagonists (or supporting chars) are bright beyond reasonable doubt.

And they usually fail miserably. It's one thing to write a script saying that random guy (a) has a 900 IQ, nonetheless convincing the readers of the fact is the hard part.

any honest author when writing of such cases would have to say something along the lines; "he conquered the world. And I haven't got the slightest idea of how".
