>>149718531
Overrated but still good, let's be honest.

>>149716714
Pleb shit
Try putting some real shows like opm, mob psycho and ping pong next time you fucking shit taste faggot

>>149716714
Looks more like the /a/ starter guide for watching anything below surface level.

>>149716714
>Eva: its watchable, I suppose. Kinda like drying paint
>Utena: the best here, still meh
>Lain: good for getting stoned and watching once, then never again

Eva was shit. Period. Utena wasn't terrible, but not that great. Lain was "meh"-tier at best. If you want to call something
>the holy trifecta of anime
then at least pick shit that people actually remember and are generally agreed to be phenomenally good.

>>149719560
>then at least pick shit that people actually remember and are generally agreed to be phenomenally good.
so, the 3 in the OP?

>>149719589
Yes.

>>149719589
Read this thread and then tell me if anything here is
>Generally agreed to be phenomenally good.

You'll never find anything that could be unanimously considered great, because people have different tastes. Half of /a/ thinks Eva is a masterpiece but I thought it was boring as shit.

>>149719560
No matter what you think about it, if you think Eva isn't generally agreed to be phenomenally good, I'd like to see what your picks would be.

>>149719560
What do you think is great?

>>149719694
Yea, because a ton of /a/ has shit taste and thinks shit like K-on is better than Cowboy Bebop because Bebop is "mainstream".

K-On is better than Bebop though.

>>149719735
Rose of Versailles.
Ideon.
RahXephon.

>>149719785
Both are bad.

I can understand those who like them though.

>>149719785
The problem lies with comparison. Everyone wants to think their shows are the best out there so they get on to make absurd comparisons. You just can't compare/contrast a SoL series like k-on with something like bebop, yet both are good in their own right.

>>149719954

I found the real holy trifecta of anime

>>149719694
I just can't understand how retards like you think Eva was boring. Other criticisms of Eva may be valid, but it sure as fuck wasn't boring. What the fuck is wrong with you? Shinji is literally in a life-or-death battle by episode 2. There's a lot of shit going on with the characters, organizations, Angels and overall plot that you have to actually keep up with. At least there's a fucking overarching plot, with previous episodes affecting future ones. The REAL boring shit is shit like NNB and K-ON where nothing happens and it's just characters living their normal everyday lives, with a bit of humor thrown in. Christ.

>>149720112
Only teenagers think pew pew shit is interesting.

>>149720112
Nice strawman there, try responding to my post next time.

You really have no grasp over differences between genres do you? If you're watching SoL and expect life or death situations and far reaching plot lines then you're going to be disappointed a lot.

K-On!! is an artful Ozu-esque meditation on contemporary Japan. I wouldn't expect the common layman to understand.

The Holy Trifecta of Steve Blum

Cowboy Bebop
Big O
S-CRY-ED

>>149716714
Pretty much, all of these are in my top 5.

>>149720079
It is pretty much a blander version of Evangelion. It's like someone wanted to make Eva, but tried to be safer on every level.

>>149719735
Mobile Suit Gundam Zeta.
Dennou Coil.
Sailor Moon.

Not everything made in the 90s were great, anon as your list in the OP.

>>149716714
That's not Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon and Cowboy Bebop

>>149720560
I'm surprised there are people who seriously think that way. Not that SoL are bad but anime has much more to offer.

Which anime precisely?

There's a bunch of SoL I haven't watched but my 3 favorite would probably be Aria, NNB, Kinmoza.

>>149720959
Keion
Croisee
Tamako Market
Sketchbook

>>149721193
I watched only S1 of Keion and dropped Sketch because it bored me. But it was a long time ago and I plan to try again.
Croisee -> I put it on hold and... never finished it.
Tamako Market -> Couldn't stand the first ep.

It's like we have polar opposite tastes.

ftfy

>>149723337
Unless you're over 60 years old, I seriously doubt you predate the internet.

>>149723502
What I meant was, when Lain aired people were starting to integrate internet in their daily lives and homes, and it was like a whole new world.. Or maybe Its because Im from a 3rd world country and shit got here late

>>149720959
if you want to stretch the definition a little Haibane Renmei and Akage no Anne are top-tier SoL.

>>149716714
I love Utena, but I'm not sure about /a/ opinion on it. Half of /a/ since to think it's overrated and the other half that it's bad, with only a few saying it is good. How can it be overrated then?

E7 is better than NGE in every way. The series is everything the 21st century is about without allowing radical identity politics to pervert its message.

Utena is more interesting for its aesthetic than the series itself, which is something one could argue has merit.

Haibane Renmei is better than Lain in every way. Obscurantism is fine, a mess of loose ends that lead to nothing but aimless speculation are not. Gorgeous art direction though.
>>149724579
Haibane Renmei was basically a SoL up until when Kuu had her Day of Flight.

It would have worked exceptionally well as a SoL. Hell, episode 12 basically is a SoL.

>>149725227
>Utena is more interesting for its aesthetic than the series itself
fuck you

>>149720900
>sailor moon

If you think EVA is overrated, boy do I have a wake up call for you.

>>149725227
>Utena is more interesting for its aesthetic than the series
I'd agree for the movie but it's more like a cherry on top for the series.

>>149716714
Utena was shit.

>>149725604
what are you talking about? utena was awesome, blew my mind away with what a director could do with a 4 episode anime series

>>149725227
>E7 is better than NGE in every way.
this is some of the lamest bait i've ever seen
apply yourself

>>149724579
I wouldn't stretch it that far. Haibane is more about slow pacing than SoL.
I haven't watched Akage no Anne.

>>149725731
Except it actually is.

>>149725797
you're right, it actually is some of the lamest bait i've ever seen

Newfag that didn't watch E7 because it's 'too slow' which is fucking ridiculous detected.

>>149725896
actually i watched all of E7
just like i watched all of NGE
which is how i know you're baiting, because nobody could actually seriously imply E7 and NGE have any similarities beyond giant living robots

>>149720105
I think pupa gave me aids

>>149724739
Anyone who uses "overrated" unironically is either shitposting or an underage b& with 50 anime watched. It's just a retarded term that means nothing besides "I didn't like it but Im too stupid to explain why". Theres more dignity in just going "it's shit" instead of the fags who think saying "overrated" is some sort of argument.

>>149716714
More liek the holy trinity of pretentious hipster bullshit

>>149725955
>no similarities
What the hell are you on, E7 was intentionally trying to be like a good handful of influential mecha series.

>>149720079
>That's litteraly the 2nd time I read this opinion.
Seriously? It comes up semi-regularly. It's certainly a minority opinion, but it's not super rare.

>>149726017
cool
but it doesn't deal with any of the same themes NGE does

>>149726001
>"overrated" means "I didn't like it but Im too stupid to explain why"
You're the stupid one here. "Overrated" doesn't even mean you didn't like it, it means "I don't think it's as good as general opinion says."

>>149726129
Yes it does. You're exceptionally stupid.

>>149726168
it doesn't though

>>149726179
Go rewatch them both, if anything too many people complain that it's an NGE clone.

>>149726229
i don't need to rewatch them to know they don't deal with the same themes
> if anything too many people complain that it's an NGE clone.
literally nobody does this
are you sure you're talking about the right anime

>>149726286
Are you? Is this elaborate bait?

>>149726361
i'm under the impression we're talking about eureka 7 and neon genesis evangelion

>>149726408
I am, now since you are behaving like you watched both around when they aired, I suggest you rewatch them both.

>>149726468
why don't you just point out the supposed shit they have in common because i still remember both series

So, people seriously argue that Lain isn't great? I find this opinion unfathomable.

>>149726146
Ok retard, so it means "I don't think it's as good as the general opinion but I can't explain why". Much better. The point is the term is often used by retards, not that the term itself is inherently bad. We all know what overrated means it just never provides anything in terms of productive discussion.

>>149716913
I'd agree with this if we're only talking modern TV stuff.

>>149720105
This is the truth.

>>149716714
Only Utena applies as superior anime taste. The others are fake deep.

>>149727549
Why is it that some people expect every opinion to come with an explanation? Is there something wrong with just stating your opinion without providing the reasoning?

>>149729151
No but there are much better places for you to do that than here like Twitter or facebook. Besides 'Overrated' is hardly even an opinion because it doesn't even show whether you liked it or not, just that you think other people like it too much. Like I said, the term itself is fine in context, but people who use it as a critique often have no real justifications for their opinion. If you want to just read random opinions with nothing else then go on social media.
