ITT anime for smart people.
>>138859725
Urobutcher is worst at this.
>Let's shoehorn in some entry level mythology that can be liberally applied to every character or motif/science/politics/socialist individual happiness vs the collective/chuuni 2deep4u dialogue that could be expressed in a much simpler way.
Show don't tell. If this is 'smart' anime writing then my motivation to trawl for gems is waning.
And pretty much all of Butcher's stuff.
Fuck off Kyoshitters.
>>138859725
There has never been a smart kyotoani anime. They've made clever ones, and interesting ones, but never really smart.
>>138859771
Do you even heard about Schrodinger's thought experiment? I feel smarter after this episode.
>>138859815
Yeah, you should just quit watching, and stop posting on /a/.
>>138859725
Sword Art Online Is the Smartest Anime I’ve Seen in Years (And It’s Only Half-Done)
Should watch it for the plot.
>>138859832
Doesn't help that as much as I enjoyed Madoka, Psycho-Pass, Expelled From Paradise, most of modern 'Butcher's works are only ever socialist mahou shoujo, seinen, shoujo, shounen, ect. He's too self assured of his own edgelord status and anime with him at the helm has stagnated because of it.
Too much exposition makes me drop so hard.
>>138859938
>He's too self assured of his own edgelord status
How so?
>Too much exposition
What?
>>138859975
Remember Slaine ending.
>>138859725
Smart people don't watch anime. They do science.
>>138859995
Moe is a science.
>>138859984
Not written by Butcher.
>>138859815
He set a theme of oppression in PP and abandoned it for flashy action...
>>138859832
Most of Butcher's works are the exact same stories with the serial numbers filed off. Heck, even Kamen Rider Gaim is actually Madoka if you think about it.
He's not terrible, but if you see his work, you might as well seen it all.

>smart people
>anime
For a show about little girls, it has a lot of character depth and mature themes. One of my favorite intellectual anime.
>>138859792
Smart people would read the VN instead
>>138860048
>He set a theme of oppression in PP
You obviously haven't seen PP.
>>138860053
I do agree his writing is usually quite similar. But there are important differences. Its those differences that make his works interesting and engaging.
>>138859725
Anything written by Urobuchi or Nisioisin.

I kinda hate modern fanservice.

Wait, what? The hell have you been smoking?

Rape culture go home.
>>138860338
Tumblr you're lost
>>138860332
Really? You took that obvious of a bait, tripfag? Kill yourself.
>>138859932
boobs work that way?
>>138860396
>/b/ for years
if that's true, he's a lost case
he can't be fixed
>>138860443
Every useless tripfag is a lost case, which is about 99% of them.
>>138859815
is this bait
>>138860396
The Anonymoose line from a tripfag? Fucking priceless.
>>138860396
Are you just going to keep shitting up every thread I post in, or will you come to terms with the fact that I'm not leaving?
>>138860394
This is a representation of the shows intelligence. Her boobs are clearly "phantoms", this is purposefully done to add another layer of complexity to the show. This adds credibility to the idea of the "Phantom World".
>>138860332
>kiss anime cap
>failing for the most blatant bait
po's law why
>>138860496
God bless GodAni for making this addition and bettering the immersion in the anime.

You're welcome.
>>138860492
This is not about you leaving. This is about your stupid trip and how you feel the need to have an identity - even though that identity is pathetic and insignificant.
>>138860539
>kotaku
>>138860551
Don't even respond to tripfags, they're all idiots.
>>138860551
>trying this hard to fit in
that's the article the meme originated from, fuckboy
Smart people actually tend to like stupid shit recreationally.
Thinking heavily is part of their job - so why in God's name do you think they do 'more' of that to unwind? If anime/video games are where you showcase your 'intelligence' that should be a massive freaking red flag to consider a career change.
>>138860551
>>138860566
Oh stop it. The "no tripfags" thing is as old as the hills, and it has done fuck-all to stop people from adding a hashtag and random text flotsam to the name field.
Then again, people are still talking about dubs vs. subs 30-some years when the debate was relevant, so whatever. Keep beating dead horses, I guess.
>>138859928
was clearly referencing the Kotaku article.
>>138860628
Filtered.
Fuck off.
>>138860641
You wont be missed.
>>138860628
>it's irrelevant because it's old
Fuck off. Give me literally one good reason to tripfag right now. "Keeping track of your comments" does not count.
>>138860628
>>138860644
Fuck off retard.
>>138860649
Counter question: if there any "good reason" that you would subjectively find valid?
>>138860779
Yep.
>>138859771
The patrician's choice.
>>138860840
I'm asking you to provide me with one for the very reason that I'm unaware of any, matey. I can't think of any reason outside of pure narcissism
>ITT pretentious shitty cancerous shows for faggots
>>138860955
you'd discover that like 80% of the shows posted are jokes if you actually read the thread, faggot
>>138860911
There is none, like all the other tripfags he is a pathetic attention whore who misuses a feature of the site.
>>138860911
I rarely post here anyway, so I don't know if I can say that I am doing his to get people on /a/ to notice me, respect me, hate me, give me attention, or anything of that sort. I also don't know if I could give you a reason that wouldn't sound like a gigantic insult to everything Anonymous.
So, I'll just say "because I like it". Pussy answer, but it is what I got.
>>138861039
And why, exactly, do you think you like it?
>>138861039
kill yourself you enormous faggot
Every anime that uses german in any form, be it written, spoken, sung etc. is a pretentious tryhard show for intelligent, nihilistic people with a wicked sense of humor.
>>138859832
>Butcher
>Smart
>>138861077
Again, I'm not sure how to say anything without sound like I'm projecting hard onto Anonymous. It would come off pretentious as hell, but I'm not sure I know how to word it that would make sense.
Don't worry, I haven't posted with this trip in over a year, and I probably wont again for another. If ever. I understand the board culture and respect it.
>>138860628
>>138860492
Leave redditfags or better yet kill yourselves

Anon has a right to be an enormous faggot.
Trips have that right too.

>ITT anime for smart people.
>OP himself is not smart person
>>138865701
You forgot your fedora.
>>138859899
Have you never been to school or something?I can't tell if it's sarcasm
>>138860168
this is anime for dumb people who think they're smart
>>138859771
I know this was meant to be a joke, but it's honestly astounding to me how many people just don't even notice the more subtle character development and the huge amount of other details in the show. People seem to legitimately think K-on has no story or point, when it obviously does.
>>138860104
This desu senpai
>>138859975
>How so?
>>138868381
>le cory in the hosue anime meme xDD
Please never post again.
The McDonald's anime is pretty smart
>>138868358
What makes you think it was a joke? I didn't post it but I would totally post it unironically.
>>138860099
Here's your reply.
>>138859725
>>138868772
Because the OP and most of the thread was also jokes.
What's the difference between smart and pseudo-intellectual?
>>138869253
Whether I liked the show or not
>>138869253
Nothing, you can find beauty in the most piece of shit anime when you overthink it.
>>138860104
smart people wouldnt touch that shit at all
>>138859725
Subete ga F ni Naru. I seriously felt a lot smarter while I was watching it.
>>138870457
I've been told I'm smart and I felt so stupid for barely getting what was going on.
>>138868624
>"damn, forgot to turn off the screen again."

Is that quote actually legit?

Why must /a/ regurgitate all the shitty memes so much.
>>138873317
The point is that the MC is a smart ass know it all nerd.
>>138859725
>smart
>anime
choose one
>>138859725
I hate how this MC talk with metaphors
am i too late?
>>138860585
I don't consider myself a smart guy but I do no physical labor in my job (office shit) and I enjoyed Symphogear as lot as I enjoy phantom world for the reasons stated here.
My mind wanders off during the plot here and there, and I can't focus on a bunch of sci-fi babble in a row so Lain wasnt for me. I still find her cute.
>>138859725
>anime for smart people.
Smart people don't watch anime.
>>138876587
Guess smart people would like anime with a good story as much as anyone else. Anime that is exclusively for smart people is another story though.
Tantei Opera Milky Holmes and Kill Me Baby are the only true anime for smart thinking people, like myself.
>>138860168
This is a show for people who are insecure about their own intelligence
