What's his next show gonna be? I need my pretentious shit.
He seems to have a new project every 2 years.
So check back in 2016

None of his works have been pretentious.
>>120333490
Tatami Galaxy was.
>>120333566
How so?
>>120333566
how, by being fun and entertaining
the pretentious aspect is maybe the motivational aspect and the live for the now instead of being hung up on the what-if
for the most part though, tatami galaxy is very accessible
>>120333566
Because that's the only thing that you've seen.
>>120333788
Tatami Galaxy is not accessible, it panders heavily to people who comprehend japanese culture. I didn't find the show fun at all.

>pretentious
And that's not even true, there were hardly any references that your average anime watcher wouldn't immediately understand.
>>120334178
how does it pander to japanese culture? the references to mythology, campus life and etcetera were able to be inferred from the story itself, even with a low power level. The pace of dialogue may be offputting, but hey, that's what the pause button is forgit gud and learn moon
>>120334284
I'm an average anime watcher and the show goes in the same folder as Bakemonogatari and Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei. Incomprehensible
fast paced dialogue.
>>120334410
Japanese campus life and mythology is part of culture m8.
And having to pause is precisely what makes the show pretentious.
Not to mention the art is pretty hipster-esque.

I hope a Japanese truck kills you.
>>120334720
Most retarded opinion I've seen all day.
>>120334720
the art is stylized, playful and somewhat freeform but I wouldn't call it hipstery
the 'found footage' stuff with the heavily edited 3dpd footage is 'hipsteresque' but I didn't find it to be to overt or immersion breaking, so I don't really mark it as a negative.
Regarding the sanic-tier text I managed to cope, and still enjoy the details that made it so wonderful
>>120334904
this guy is not me by the way, we still cool
>>120334720
I'm also an average anime watcher and I didn't find the dialogue incomprehensible in any way. I wouldn't rate my understanding of Japanese culture particularly high, but I did not feel like this prevented me from understanding or enjoying the show. Fast dialogue and the need for pausing it causes - I didn't feel any need to pause it at any point, but whatever, people are different - can't really be consideerd pretentious by any conventional definition of that word. And what does it even mean for art to be hipster-esque? There is nothing wrong with a more standard artstyle, but it is ridiculous to imply that there would be anything wrong with a more unique and distinctive style, either.

Right, and you probably blame Yuasa for Ping Pong's art style as well even though he was merely being faithful to Matsumoto's art.

>99% of all anime ever (made up number but still) was/is intended for japanese audiences and in some cases, to a much lesser extend to international audiences
>I can't understand this anime because I'm not culturally Japanese
>Therefore this anime is shit
Nigga, Nigga, Nigga, I get the feeling you're watching the wrong anime for the wrong reasons. Best you go back to /co/ or watch Naruto
