ITT: Post three favourite anime, make assumptions based on that

You're probably a homosexual autist in college.

>>136331746
Pretentious, insecure newfriend.

>>136331889
How's it pretentious? Those shows are just pretty.

>>136331921
"Pretty" isn't exactly the word I'd use to describe Lain's visuals.

Anyway, I wouldn't say what I said if this was a list of what someone considers best anime. But listing the most critically acclaimed, yet widely popular series as your favourite anime? It instantly tells me you're desperately craving approval and want to be seen as a deep and mature individual while not actually having seen enough anime to at least list some interesting stuff. I don't consider the anime pretentious, but you as an individual? Absolutely.

>>136332118
I can't help that those are shows I deeply enjoy or have really strong sentimental attachment to, man. I just like them a lot.

>>136331746
You should lurk more to learn that you should actively avoid praising shows like that since you're an INDIVIDUAL with diverse taste.
I mean everyone can like this shit. It takes a real man to enjoy a children's show from the 70s.

If you like anything other than experimental anime, you are pretentious as you are elevating objectively inferior genres to that of a favorite when all they are made for is dumb, passive entertainment to be enjoying ironically. In fact, I'd say anyone who doesn't considers non-experimental anime a guilty pleasure is pretentious.

Yea fully aware all 3 adaptations are terrible. Never gave the Negima a try because I heard it got axed before it got to the good part. Gave up Tokyo Ghoul because I couldn't stand them not doing it faithfully, but I understand why they didn't. And Eyeshield was a pain because the way they animated Sena's running just looked retarded while he was standing in place while they Monologued. His running style worked way better in print.

Ok I can understand why you wouldn't like Negima! it only got a 3rd of the way through, but the ride after that made it worth it to me. If it didn't get axed early, could have easily been one the undisputed great battle of shonens of all time (It still is in my book).

You criticize me for having basic taste, but the rest of the thread is either shit or just as basic if not more so. There are honestly only a few things in the entire medium worth calling great, and not even a handful worth calling exceptional. You're going to see samey opinions, in almost all mediums (Music and books probably being the only exception, just because they are much more subjective and have a much greater amount of content) Tons of people like the same 10-30 films because there just aren't that many great films, and this is going to be even more apparent with anime.

>what else would you reasonably post.
Nothing, these threads are horrible. I guarantee every single non-troll post is just looking for attention or craving validation. If you wanna talk Utena, make a thread about it. If you want me to suck your dick for how much of a tastemaster you are, fuck off to Reddit or wherever.

>>136350965
>why keep watching anime
Why would you stop? It's unreasonable as fuck to demand everything be exceptional. And just because the majority isn't doesn't mean there isn't a fuck ton you haven't seen or hasn't been made yet.

>>136350965
>If you think like this, why do you keep watching anime?

You can enjoy things that aren't exceptional from a literary standpoint. Take something like Initial D, it has pretty much 0 plot, and very basic characters, but it's fun to watch and hype as fuck. Its also possible, at least for me, to enjoy a series for a single reason. For instance, I'm watching Grimgar this season just because I like the background art, everything else about it is pretty shit.

I also think that anime excels, far beyond any other medium, at creating a passable experience from fucking nothing. It's pretty much the cup ramen of entertainment, I wouldn't laud it as a fantastic meal, but it's quick, easy, and it tastes pretty good.

>>136351381
>It's unreasonable as fuck to demand everything be exceptional. And just because the majority isn't doesn't mean there isn't a fuck ton you haven't seen or hasn't been made yet.


Thing is, I can name at least 20 exceptional, and I mean EXCEPTIONAL movies just in this century, I can't do 1/4 of that for anime, would you agree?

I disagree personally, but putting that aside, anime is fundamentally different as an industry, and is way smaller. Pretty much everything produced after 2005-ish panders to the Otaku fanbase in a significant way, and there isn't that sort of niche obsessive market for film. There really isn't a market for exceptional anime, which is why it isn't produced.

There also isn't really any talent left in the industry, and there aren't really any bright new rising stars.

>>136351484
Because I crave attention and validation you cocksucker. Don't underestimate my ability to be a fucking faggot.

>>136351463
I dunno about the ratio but yeah definitely. That said, "all movies" is a fucking broad ass category and film is generally taken more seriously as an art form. Anime is generally considered as "commercial Japanese animation" which is far more limited in scope. If you're considering all animation worldwide, then you've probably got a more comparable statistic. Even in Japan, tons of truly excellent short films or independent works go unnoticed. Whether you wanna call those "anime" or not (often they're quite different) is up to you, but you can't take "anime" itself as a whole artistic medium. If we're going to compare anime to American television alone, I'd say anime is in WAY better shape.

>>136351410
I kinda feel like the opposite is true.

I think it's incredibly difficult to find a watchable anime because most are an unmitigated stream of shit. And I find that either I LOVE a show,HATE it or, most often than not, can't get past the first 3 episodes.

To compare to film again, every year there's at least 2 or 3 movies I keep as "favorites". In anime, well, let's just say that's not the case and it's getting less and less frequent.

But maybe it's unfair to compare episodic animated shows to feature films. Maybe I should compare them to tv series, which I don't think I've ever finished one other than, I 'unno, Avatar? And that's basically anime, so, I 'unno.

>>136348907

>>136351687
>There also isn't really any talent left in the industry, and there aren't really any bright new rising stars.
That's BS. Bias towards the classics make old stars shine brighter, but paying attention to and seeking out talented people in the industry is both extremely doable and rewarding.

>>136351745
>If we're going to compare anime to American television alone, I'd say anime is in WAY better shape.

I agree with you, but I think the most major reason for this is that American television isn't really "We're going to air this for x cours" it's "We're going to air this until we've sucked every drop of money out of it, and then chuck in a final episode and cancel it"

They're pretty much exclusively episodic, and usually have very basic plots.

>>136351905
Definitely, and that's a genuine problem with it, not an excuse. Being episodic or having basic plot structure isn't inherently negative, but I've always been fairly unimpressed with the stuff I've seen on TV. Like, I have some favourite shows that I like a lot, but I don't parade them around like I do with other things.

>paying attention to and seeking out talented people in the industry is both extremely doable and rewarding.

Like who. Seriously, it isn't that I don't pay attention to the industry, it's just that everyone people seem to call talented is shit. All the great directors are gone, and there is no one to replace them. Mamoru Hosoda is nice, but he isn't exactly the hero anime deserves. All of the new animators I've seen all have shit fundamentals and/or rely way too much on computers and cover up their mistakes with flashy cg effects.

Modern anime is more consistent, but I would honestly trade with the way older stuff was where they would budget like maniacs. Look at macross, that show had some literal 10/10 amazing animation, and some literal 0/10 slideshows (I do mean slideshows, 1 frame per second action scenes). I just don't see any truly fantastic animation anymore.

I hate these kinds of false arguments. That is not and should not be an excuse and we shouldn't just accept that.

Let's take two examples of my two favorite animes of all time

>NGE
The creator was given de facto carte blanche to do whatever the fuck he wanted, and he wasn't shy about using it as he got fucked over by the studio at one point, and whatever your feelings are for the man or how much credit you wanna give him he created something transcendent that is still relevant and as popular as ever, made a shit ton of money and is adored by millions. He didn't do it because he pandered to Otaku (although ironically they adopted it) and neither did he shrug and just say "hey, this won't sell".

Also, we have shit like ping pong coming out as late as 2014 and it was successful (I think).

And if you don't want to risk the no market thing, then do it like

>Haruhi
Haruhi, on the other hand, did it completely different. It still is very much an otaku friendly, sort of generic HS SoL, but instead of going the easy route and making an uninteresting stupid show it made the best possible version of a HS SoL with great fucking writing, good animation, good storytelling, and entertaining characters and had enough confidence in itself to not feel the need to shove some cartoon tits in your face every 5mins to keep your attention.

Now I realise a lot of that has to do with source material but the point is you can make good stuff about anything as long as you actually care and try making something good, instead of just pander for the otku shekel.

You are being miopic imo for focusing on animation quality. Animation quality is the least of Anime's problems right now, in fact it has never been more consistently good as now.

I think where the talent is lacking is in the writers department and in the exec. production department.

Let's face it, your average anime looks like it was written by a 13yo mentally handicapped autist pedophile having a fit with a pen. And also they gotta hire producers and execs that aren't afraid to take risks and be bold, and the ceo's have to be patient and tolerant enough to let them fail once in a while.

>>136352534
Today's anime industry will never be good or bold, because all anime now is made to sell merchandise, and it works. If they tried doing something else or different, merch will not sell, and the anime won't pay off - no profit. They don't want that, so they're not willing to risk it if the shit they pump out now works.

>>136352279
I do. It's just kind of disappointing, I guess.

>>136352534
>in fact it has never been more consistently good as now.

I literally made this point, and I said that I would trade it for the flashes of great animation of the 80s.

I would actually argue that the 90s had overall better animation, but it didn't match the consistency of what we have now.

>>136352241
It's not an excuse, it's a reason. There is no "Sight and Sound: Anime Edition." On the whole, art films are recognized and praised in a way that anime really isn't. Not to dismiss your examples, which are perfectly valid. I just mean to say that shows that endeavor for more aren't as rewarded as film. That's 100% due to its inapproachable nature and lack of serious criticism, though. Is there much besides the Oofuji award that recognizes art animation in Japan?

Feel free to call me an ignorant Westerner though cause I'm speaking 100% from an outsider's point of view

I don't wanna just name drop cause that's fucking faggy, but there are definitely a number of great auteurs and animators still working today. You may not respect their works in the same way you respect that which is classically approved, but I really hate your absolute dismissal of talent in the industry. Pretty disrespectful.

>Making a good anime(or anything really)
>selling merchandise,/make those sweet yen

Those are not mutually exclusive, in fact they elevate eachother. You can do a show with the objective of selling merchandise because, hey, I get it, it's a business, you gotta make money, but why not try making a good pandering show so you can give the people who are giving you money something you can be proud of?

It speaks for itself. The animator expo was new people embarrassing themselves while the old guard swept the field. In fact, the animator expo pretty much sums up my argument completely

because that takes more time, effort, and money, which the anime studios are just not willing to spend when they want to earn more. It all comes down to greed honestly.

They are though. Making quality anime costs money and doesn't make enough profit to make it worthwhile.

This is actually a problem in pretty much every aspect of modern society. Clothes, food, music, all of it is cheap mass produced shit designed to make the most money possible. You can blame the corporations all day long, but at the end of the day, it's the unwashed masses who buy this shit that are responsible for the trend. Companies will do whatever makes them the most money, pretty much guaranteed. If everyone bought quality anime, and nobody bought shit anime, it would eventually improve.

This moves us into a different section of both philosophy and economics that doesn't really need to be discussed here, but in essence your two options are to martyr yourself and "be the change you want to see in the world" and bitterly watch as you don't actually affect the world in any way, or do nothing and bitterly watch as you don't actually affect the world in any way.

But I'm not saying anime needs to be more "artistic" or anything, in fact, there's nothing I want less. I hate "oscar-bait movies", which can only exist because of what you said and I do not want anime to do start doing the same. Hell, I'm not even asking for every anime to be as different or unique as something like ping pong, just that if you are making a dumb action anime, make a GOOD dumb action anime, like for example TTGL.

Not to keep comparing anime to film, but look at something like Star Wars. It's a fucking soap opera. literally a soap opera. But it's fun, everyone loves it (including myself), and most importantly, it made more money than the GDP of the average country.

Again, I just hate the creators getting bailed out just because muh otaku market.

i hate it when an anime title has an english translation and people insist on using the japanese version of the title. why. you speak english, youre just being a weaboo faggot.

>most importantly, it made more money than the GDP of the average country.

Quality increases>thus production cost increases>to maintain an income the price of the quality goods also increases>people will not buy something more expensive with no actual advantage to justify the extra cost.

There's less wealthy people than people with a pretty limited income, so there will never be more people buying quality products, which in turn are more expensive, while this is true.
