So, why is no one talking about this? Is really that bad or is not pandering to casual normalfags?
No it really is that bad
>>140618185
I know you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover but this is the type of shit you just know is bad.
No anime that has a guy with a fringe covering his eye and his belly button exposed can be good.
Post anime that made you feel nostalgic the most.
Nostalgic for what, your youth?

Okay.
Is Holo considered furry?
No, you fucking retard. If the facial structure is still human, it isn't furry.
No but I havent heard her day goodmorning and goodnight to me for a while now
Decide for yourself
So I'm fresh out of eva ship, and this was the most tryhard bullshit I ever saw. literally a run of the mill mecha with some religious themes to make it more interesting.
>The story
As I said the first 20 eps are a generic episodic mecha, angel appears, shinji beats him, end of episode, repeat.
The last 6 eps are full of shit, muh adam muh lilith, life is so hard, 2deep4you bullshit, which isn't really deep, it's just bunch of people complaining how their life is shit.
>The characters
Oh my god the characters are shit, everybody is so fucking dependent on everybody else, it's hilarious, and every bodies misery boils down to unrequited love and general sexual frustration.
I mean maybe I can empathize with people who watched it on air, because maybe then, there wasn't much shit like this, but boy did it age like milk.
So anyways, off to watch the rebuilds now
I have the feeling you'll love the rebuild movies.
They're full of really cool action scenes and Shinji becomes a strong, cool guy who yells a lot.

Japan still loves to strangle their own citizen. That's why they never rebounded from decade-long recession. Also,

While its often assumed that anime in past and modern was the "same" it cant be further from reality - anime was always influenced by the trends it itself created. Some tropes and stuff were present at all times in different forms - but usually, success of specific shows brought up era of the followers.
So lets try to see the anime shows that set trends, how those trends developed and what remained of them after time.
>1991 (mostly kids/teen anime)
Maison Ikkoku - set a trope for the whole "MC suddenly has to live in dormitory with many girls" harem trope (mostly prevalent in VNs than anime though) and defined standard romance formula for the generations of future harem shows.
Urusei Yatsura - defined dozens of ecchi/harem trops used still now, and still present in current day in glorious form of ToLove-Ru
Ranma 1/2 - 1991 seems like a year of Rumiko Takahashi inventing "harem genre".
>1992 (mostly kids/teen anime)
All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku - popularizing and defining "artificial girlfriend" trope.
La Blue Girl - among most influencial hentai anime of all times. Tentacles were never so mainstream.
Tenchi Muyo! - final and official birth of Harem (cemented with Love Hina later)
Video Girl Ai - following footsteps of NukuNuku, the most iconic "artificial girlfriend" anime
YuYu Hakusho - birth of "modern" shounen anime. Since than shounen tropes changed surprisingly little (to tamer side mostly)
Legend of Galatic Heroes - not the begining of Space Opera genre, but near its end. The genre reached its epitome with this and died.
Sailor Moon - do i have to comment?
>1993 (mostly male kids/teens anime, start of shounen prevalation)
Slam Dunk - rise of sport anime (among other titles this year), popular in same format until now

Tekkaman Blade - if not for it, NGE would not exist. A first step for the revolution in the industry.

This is some 4kids level of localization. The names doesn't even match what they're saying.
They're using the localized names.
>>140612888
So? They're in Japan speaking in japanese. They should have the japanese names.
>streaming
'sup /a/.
What's an obscure or otherwise rarely talking about thing you feel deserves more exposure?
I reckon Project A-Ko doesn't get enough appreciation for how it influenced Japanese action-comedies. Things like Excel Saga, FLCL, and the bulk of Studio Trigger's work all show clear inspiration from this gem yet rarely is it mentioned in discourse.
don't fret about being accused of being a hipster or anything, just let it out. If you feel not enough people have seen it then just come out and say so.
>>140612741
it really needed an epilogue with A-ko and B-ko living happily ever after together (maybe taking care of C-ko as their child).
I don't like to be reminded of this film. The original reels were destroyed, so it will never get a proper HD release.
>>140612741
Alright, I'll bite. I recommend Lily Cat around here all the time since it's one of the better hidden gems I've stumbled across despite being a shameless Alien knock off. Black Magic M66 and Battle Royal High School are also fun. Genocyber is another one that had potential, even if it fell flat in the end. I never see any of these mentioned on /a/.
