All things considered, this is the only significant anime released

That's strange way to say "I haven't watched Flip Flapers yet"

What is Re:Zero?

>>148745988
good example of atrocious writing and least believable characters in the history of media

>>148745905
without the flashy visuals, with a motre conventional animation, mob would not have so much attention.

Your Name, A Silent Voice and Shelter are the big three.

>>148746240
I'm not saying the work is bad, but that 90% of praise for the anime are due more to the visual creativity than the story. with a more common treatment, it would be just another in the crowd. any anime would be interesting with that animation.

>>148746426
ONE's humour simply has wide appeal.

How the heck is Mob even remotely significant?
There haven't been and likely won't be any good TV shows this year. Some big movies though.

>>148746555
Wow, it's almost like you didn't actually watch the show or something.

>>148746575
I watched the show. I liked it. I wouldn't call it significant.

>>148746555
Chances are Shinkai's and Yamada's last flicks won't be nearly as good as Mob or even as Rakugo, despite the money they made.

>>148746575
I watched it though.

>>148746625
Shinkai is significant based on success alone, and Yamada / Katabuchi seem promising. Why do you rate Mob or Rakugo? I wouldn't call either of them good.

What makes an anime significant?

>>148746760
Cultural / historical or aesthetic achievement. Significant anime include Horus, Prince of the Sun and Mobile Suit Gundam. Insignificant anime include Mob Psycho 100.

>>148746671
I would call Rakugo decent and Mob really good.
I forgot about Katabuchi, that could be promising. But Yamada? No.

>>148746833
Not that guy but fuck, that means we only ever get significant anime every 10-20 years.

>>148746843
I think she's one of, if not the best director right now. Why do you doubt it? And what makes Mob really good?

>>148746900
Can you think of a better definition?
And I wouldn't say that, there are a ton of significant works if you're willing to look back a bit. 70s and 80s are loaded. And just because something's insignificant doesn't mean it's bad. I'm sure things from this decade will reveal themselves as important as time passes as well.

>>148745905
>this is what /v/ actually believes

>>148746452

Her work is overrated and she's adapting terrible source material. In a rather faithful way it seems. I don't think I'll even bother watching it.

No, I actually hoped they would rewrite a big chunk of the story for the movie. But they trailers show that is not the case.
K-on is an entirely different matter since it's an extremely loose adaption.

Top ten more significant 2016 shows than Mob Psycho?
Well, "significance" objectively should be gauged as popularity. Your or my opinion don't matter in the scheme of what's "significant", just the fan-following that show cultivated.
Following that:
Re:Zero squashed it; OPM squashed it, and Mob will likely be regarded as it's secondary; Hibike is in the process of squashing it; Berserk had a lot more buzz, for name-value alone; Boku no Hero Academia garnered more popularity; the continuation of Love Live did, too; Shokugeki no Souma is very arguable in this vein.
Then you have a slew of shows that weren't hugely significant, but were more saturated than Mob in general: New Game, Dagashi, Fate/Kaleid.
That's 10 shows that all hit greater highs than Mob. And not because they were particularly massive, just because Mob particularly wasn't.

>>148747229
Animation means nothing. Story is standard shounen staff.

>>148747497
>Well, "significance" objectively should be gauged as popularity
Stopped reading there

It is more useful to think of which TV series will actually still be coming up in conversations and being recommended to people in 10 years. Mob will probably be well remembered for combining its technical achievement with the charm of One's writing, if not actually seen as essential. Rakugo is the kind of thoughtful and slightly mellow drama that goes down as a quiet unhyped classic just for being well done (also the rare case of an actual improvement on the manga) especially if the second cour and ending hold up.

>>148747295
Just removing the movie subplot fixes nothing.
The entire second half of the manga is fundamentally wrong and needed a complete rewrite.

>>148747558
>thinking your opinions mean jack

Popularity only exists as a legitimate factor if the work in question is just as talked about after 25-30 years.

>>148747592
>>148747700
The idea that popularity equates to significance is your opinion.

>>148747642
Significance is tough to gauge for things that are very recent, but my guess would be Wind Rises, Kaguya-hime and K-On!

>>148745905
Most significant lol. Even New Game was better last season. There hasn't been any unique or ground breaking TV series this year.

New Game
>Lets make K-on inspired moe anime #500!
>Wow so original idea.

>>148747724
No, it's not. Unless something actually changes the way the medium is represented, it's not truly significant.
Mob won't change shit.
Re: Zero won't change shit.
Very, VERY few shows have actually changed shit.
Therefore we default to the back-up – the next best thing: how popular it becomes and the effects it has on a widespread fan-base.
Mob wasn't particularly saturated.

>>148747642
We won't be able to tell until 1-3 years from now when the series they influenced the greenlighting or creation of are released. People forget that making an anime takes a year or two and it takes time for all the clones and inspired series to come out.

>>148747726
>>148747803
I agree, so what about stuff from the 2000s or even late 90s?

>>148747816
You do not need story. In theory story is just an optional factor and the general emphasis on story exists for commercial obligation.

>>148747497
I actually agree with this.
People can argue what is and isn't significant, but what's also significant is how talked about a show is. That's impact, too.
All those shows were just as or more talked about.
Mob wasn't significant in any fucking way. It was just a moderately popular show from a somewhat weak season.

>>148747808
>Drama, Historical, Josei
gee.

>>148747605
It's fundamentally wrong because the focus switches to a bunch of poorly written, neurotic side characters that add nothing to the narrative or the themes of the work, and actually undermine the main character and his development.
The manga completely lost its focus and went into a absurd direction, and masterpieces of writing such as the scene with Ueno in the parking lot still found their way in the movie. Unforgivable.

>>148747726
Wind Rises and Kaguya won't influence anything. Infinite Stratos was more significant than those.

>>148747898
Yeah I don't get what OP means by significant. Re:Zero might be mediocre but it has enough fanboys to praise it's worth for next 5-10 years.

you're saying that like it proves some point, I just pointed out how inane your point was, idiot

>>148746671
Why wouldn't you call Mob good?

>>148747997
Those who've seen it have said it's been refocused around the main two. While that friend group remains, I think it's not a fundamentally bad thing. It's a story of redemption, and what it takes for one to achieve it. One of the most poignant moments of the manga was Shouya's question of whether it's "okay" for him to be happy, or to have fun. I think outside characters are necessary to some extent.

>>148748066
They're the swan songs of the two greatest minds in anime. Influence be damned, in a hundred years cultural historians will see those as the artistic height of the decade. Something can be very popular and yet considered insignificant. One could make an argument for Love Live, for example, but I prefer to approach this thing from a more high brow perspective.

>>148747497
No, top ten most impactful shows of the year 2016, anon. That's what you brought up that's what I asked you to list.

>Well, "significance" objectively should be gauged as popularity. Your or my opinion don't matter in the scheme of what's "significant", just the fan-following that show cultivated.
So you're basically just equating significance or impact with popularity, then. If you make no distinction between those terms, Why not just use popularity?

In any case, OPM is from 2015 and I'm not quite sure what you mean by "more saturated" (though it's true that Fate/Kaleid was one of the most anticipated shows in Japan) nor how Dagashi or New Game qualify (is it because they sold more BDs? then the difference is hardly significant enough to be worthy of note).

>>148748154
a lot of people hated the first episodes, but continued watching because the animation was interesting. if the technique was the used in common productions, like nanatsu or boku no hero, the drop would have been definitive.

>>148748177
The writing's rather weak and I don't think it can balance the comedy alongside the underlying coming of age story as well as it'd like. Production values are of course impressive, but I found certain aspects of it immature. Take the oil paintings, for example. It felt more like they hired the artist and had her (it was a woman, right?) meet a quota of paintings per episode rather than apply it in a meaningful way. Many people like sakuga for its own sake, and that's fine, but I personally don't buy into that ideal.

>>148748303
I dont deny that the visuals are one of the largest draws for that series, but its not like thats an irrelevant aspect. Its animation and you're critiquing it for taking full advantage of its art form. That being said I think that the story and writing holds its own against anything else this year. To that point, you say that a lot of people hated the first episodes but continued watching because of the animation, implying that they liked the later episodes. That just proves that the story itself isn't worthless. But regardless, you're retarded

>>148748512
but I never said that the story was shit, I said without much visual creativity it would never be so recognized. because, in my view, the writing is only average in those early arcs. I honestly could not see anything so unique and special, really.

>>148748661
*see first reply*

>>148748503
How is the writing weak? And why would the comedy interfer with the story?

>>148748264
>So you're basically just equating significance or impact with popularity, then. If you make no distinction between those terms, Why not just use popularity?

I pretty much was. Unless the show is actually significant in changing the medium's conventions (which Mob wasn't), it may as well just be boiled down to popularity.

>In any case, OPM is from 2015
My bad.

By saturated I meant how intensely they were discussed/their overall popularity.
Look at it from this angle: Stanley Parable and Overwatch.
Stanley Parable is pretty unique in it's storytelling, Overwatch isn't really unique in any way, apart from a soundly nailed premise.
Which will be looked back on as more significant?
The game that was lauded by a couple thousand neckbeards?
Or the game played by a couple million from every demographic.
The latter – because nobody cares enough about the first.

>>148748249
>It's a story of redemption, and what it takes for one to achieve it
Of course, but the side character have little relevance in that. They're just a bunch of awful human being with no character arc of their own despite all the time dedicated to them. And the MC put up with their shit and call them friends for no real reason despite them not showing any sign of redemption.
And I can't insist enough on own bad the parking lot and suicide scenes are and how they are in the movie.

Mob was the cult anime of the year. And that's it. Largely because of the animation.

>>148748823
>By saturated I meant how intensely they were discussed/their overall popularity.
What are you basing this on? the traffic on /a/ alone? If so did you compare those series' average number of IPs per thread and posts and frequency of threads to come to that conclusion? Even so, that's not much to determine that these shows were more "impactful" beyond this board.

>>148748902
Why do you feel that those scenes are bad?

>>148748744
I guess I felt that it belittles the moments where things "get real" - I had a hard time empathizing at times when I know they'll just show a funny face and move on.

>>148749013

And the character development, great characters, amazing video direction and ost. The show was amazing.

>>148749147
Not /a/ alone, but I would feel comfortable saying all those shows received a greater abundance of feedback from here. But a few other places, too, and a read of how widely the show was received by them.
I mean, sure, it could all be penned off as anecdotal. By some act of anime Jesus, Mob's discussion may have boomed on every site I frequent the instant I switched off the PC. I'm just speaking from my experience, and my experiences tell me Mob wasn't really that big.

>>148749159
Do I really have to explain? He happens to run in her while she's killing herself, jumps with her to save her life and ends up in a coma. And the two bullies that were gone for 7 volumes just happen to see all and save them from drowing, in the laziest redemption I've ever seen.
Just tipying it out makes me roll my eyes, it's like is from a cheap soap opera.

>>148749206
>And the character development
It wasn't that impressive. Really. People talk as if it was Siddhartha becoming Buddha.
>great characters
Reigen is the best one, quite charismatic, Mob is cute. The rest is not bad, but far from memorable. Since the MC is too OP and still avoid fights, the other characters have no way to really shine.
>amazing video direction and ost.
The technical part is the best part of the show.

Overall, the anime is ok. 7.5 or 8/10.

>>148749206
>And the character development
I see a better character development in Haikyuu!! than in Mob.

>>148749655
Dimple is great. All the side characters stand out in one way or the other, even irrelevant ones like the body improvement club.
And just because Mob is the strongest it doesn't mean he gets all the attention. Ritsu was just as important in the narrative and had MUCH more development.

>>148749267
Just to be clear, I'm not disagreeing with the notion that Mob was nowhere near as popular as say, something like Re:Zero from the same year: it indeed wasn't that big, even though it was certainly appreciated.
But I'm really iffy about your New Game/Dagashi Kashi comparison when whether it's sales wise or discussion wise (whether it's /a/ or reddit or ANN or even MAL), the differences are either barely noticeable or actually leaning towards Mob being the more popular out of them all (just comparing the number of comments and users watching those shows).

>>148749793
Haikyuu!! is 50+ episodes and counting, plus it's hardly an unflattering comparison when the character development in HQ!! is in fact pretty damn good.

>>148749491
I can see that. Perhaps it just doesn't bother me as much, or I can forgive it because the overall event of the suicide is one I like and think fits in with the narrative. When you explain it like that though it's easy to see why it'd be off putting. I still think it'll be a good movie, though.

>>148749839
The best character developoment are those gradual and constant, full of conflicts. This did not happen with any character in Mob. They were one way, then they suffer something flashy and change. Ritsu, Dimple, Hanazawa, it was like that with them all.

>>148750572
Hanazawa is the only one that changes like that.
Dimple didn't really change.
The development of Ritsu is constant through all the series, so I don't know what you mean.

>>148751007
>The development of Ritsu is constant through all the series
He was an ambitious guy, after almost get fucked, he stopped being. This is very cliche, actually.

>>148751208
Ambitious? I don't think you understood the character at all.

>>148751208
>Ambitious

He spent years both loving, fearing, and envying his brother. When he finally got powers it went to his head and he acted out for a while. Hes a nice guy and was basically just going through a rebellious phase. That's all it was.

It's only well animated during the fight scenes and they are all incredibly cliche DBZ/shounen fights, only difference is a higher budget.

>>148753202
You've got absolutely no basis to defend that belief, though.

Being moe slice of life doesn't mean it has anything to do with K-on and doesn't mean it wasn't the best show of the season.

It's ok Anon, maybe someone will be nice enough to clue you in

Whatever you say MP drone.
Sure proved me wrong with your nonexistent argument.

Type in "budget" in desuarchive and you'll notice a pattern. When a show is well made they'll say it has a high/good budget. When the show looks like shit they'll say it has low/bad/no budget.

The only dipshit that thinks budget can't be used to talk about a shows quality is you.

>without the great visuals, this visual art would be bad
fucking break yourself

Writing is more important than visuals.

The cozy school parts were the best.

Whenever the show tried to grow a moral it fell flat on its face.

The final three episodes were awful.

>Talent doesn't require money

Okay time to start my own anime company with a staff of only the most talented creators who'll work for free and pump out the best works.

even if we were to assume that's true, what's your point?

You get close, but you're ten years too early.

Significant is how long it will last in the memory of those who watched it and how well discussed it will be in an undeterminate amount of time after it finished airing.

So re:zero might have been more significant than mob psycho while they were airing, but as it stands neither looks like it will be turning heads even half a year after finishing.

In reality we should make this thread a year from now and see how it turned out, but nobody has that patience so shitposting is a satisfactory substitute.

Personally I don't think any show this year will be considered significant in the future. It all returns to nothing.

I loved the manga.
The anime wasn't good. Dropped it after 2 episodes.
