Anime can't be well written.

The writing was crap, the direction, especially EoE, is what makes it special.

If that's the best Anime has.... Then lol.
>>
>>149979966
But it is closer to the pinnacle of anime writing than OP is to the pinnacle of bait.
>>
>>149979440
Evangelion's plot sucked and wasn't as interesting as it's character interactions
Also
>Mushishi

>>149980901
What anime had a more interesting plot than Evangelion? The lore, setting and the way the expositon handles it is pretty damn fuckin awesome.
>>
>the ending

yeah nah, fuck off you shitty retarded japs, a grade schooler can come up with something much better
>>
>>149981548
The plot is Eva's weakest part but it's far from being bad. It's best to ignore shitposters/bait.
>>
>>149981828
I'm pretty sure a grade school kid did most of the art for the last two episodes
>>
>>149981829
No it's not, just the story alone is one of the better ones in fiction. I challenge you to find better ones in anime.

>>149981888
My point was that the plot is the only part of Eva you can find legitimate flaws in. For example the original plans/motivations and the revised plans for angels and instrumenatily are never fully explains or make sense when you think about it. Just google Yui's plan and Gendo's plan.

Besides some shitty dialogue about some retarded philosophy/psychology that happens every now and then, yes it is way up there.

The exposition is given out at a great pace that doesn't feel contrived. The characters go through arcs that make sense and interact with one another. Characters agendas or passions are clear to us but not to other characters.

Presentation and direction however are even better and put it over the top.
>>
>>149982036
Some times people don't know what they are doing in real life too
>>
>>149982036
It's pretty clear that Gendo wanted to bring back his wife. With Yui we can speculate but the fact that it's not clear isn't bad writing. In fact the fact that the plot lead fans to create so many theories based on so few vague elements just proves how strong, interesting and expansive the story is.
>>
>>149982036
I may be understanding you wrong but Yui's plan is not that crazy. This video explains Yui's plan (also Gendos plan somewhat) and character overall quite well without going off the deep end like a lot of Evagelion videos. It all makes sense when you think about it.

What I do agree is weak is that a lot of the time to explain Evangelions plot on a deeper level you have to go outside of the main two anime (NGE and EoE)

Into other areas of the series like games or card series etc to what has been labeled as "canon". Wow I need to get some sleep, I'm posting like a retard.

>In fact the fact that the plot lead fans to create so many theories based on so few vague elements
I've always had a hard time treating this as a positive because you can also easily say the same about a popular series with vague writing that is generally considered bad or creates very divisive opinions.
>>
>>149982654
It's detailed enough to justify the vagueness, it at least feels like something is there and you can make a stronger for a certain conclusion.
>>
>>149982748
True, can't think of a lot of vague stories that don't leave a lot of details and are also acclaimed.
>>
>>149982390
>the flaw isn't really a flaw its actually a strenght
Spoken like a true fanboy. The motivations are understandable but the details of achieving it are quite nonsensical. Try finding the evageeks thread about it. From what I remember yui would had to make some crazy assumptions for her plan to work out the way it did and a lot of blanks are not filled in both plans.
>>
>>149979440
Yes

/thread

>>149979440
If you only count TV series and no adaptations, I'd go with Gargantia.
>>
No, but it's the pinnacle of world building which is something completely different.
>>
>>149982846
>crazy assumptions for her plan to work
We are not even sure what her plan was.
She married a genius and got herself into an immortal body, that was the best she could do to guide the situation.

Sorry m8, knowing that it's all ancient aliens doesn't make Eva better.
That's not "deeper", that's that's just wank.

THE MONSTER WERE HUMANS ALL ALONG BRAVO BUTCHER

Someone should've told them that making fiction about aliens is forbidden

Why the fuck is Bakemonogatari on that list?

What the fuck? How? Have you only seen 5 anime ever?
