Just finished watching Cowboy Bebop
Is this the greatest anime ever?
What did go wrong that Japan stopped producing quality series like this?
>>150135813
It was pretty good, but it wasn't certainly the best thing ever, /v/-kun
Its literally the best thing ever.
>>150135850
Go fap to your moeshit faggot
> more than half of the episodes are random ass shit
Go back to >>/co/ and watch Family Guy or some shit.
>>150135813
>Is this the greatest anime ever?
No.
>What did go wrong that Japan stopped producing quality series like this?
The convergence of talent, inspiration and money is incredibly rare. Even the man who had the most to do with bebop wasn't able to come close to it on subsequent tries.
>>150136446
stop being a contrarian.
>I've watched 5 anime: the post
>>150138904
>I'm tsundere the post
nice bump btw
>tfw no series has had such peerless character development and writing since
Also best eps are Jet-centric ones
Is Faye an old hag who never got the D?
>>150141051
Pretty much. That's what makes her great though. I like to imagine that after the show she just wanders through life not really knowing how she feels about her memories of Spike.
>Spike and Faye didn't have a one-off fuck before the end.
This is what scored low for me with the show.
>>150139643
>Jet-centric ones
>That one where they ask only old men to watch
UUUUUUNNNGH
>>150135813
Anyway, it was good, but I wouldn't call it the best.
>>150136458
THIS
>>150135813
Corgis are shit
Daily reminder that Jet is tapping Faye whenever Spike isn't around.
>>150135813
>Is this the greatest anime ever?
No, K-ON is, obviously.
Cell animation has a metaphysical property of making everything done on it better by five points. So an average show like CB which we could make today becomes a perfect one.
Blame digital for this.

God tier.
Good grain looks amazing unlike unnatural cg which needs to be injected with lightning effects out of the ass to look nice.
>>150148602
>lightning effects
>>150148723
Out of the ass senpai
>>150148780
What do bolts of electricity have to do with the appearance of CG?
>>150148974
Put some lightning filters, various post processing and you've got yourself more than colors.
>>150149147
What is an electricity bolt filter?
>you've got yourself more than colors.
U wot m8?
>>150149173
Get a brain or stop playing dumb, whichever you prefer.
Its really fucking good, especially the episode where Ed Is saying goodbye but no it's not the best anime. The story is generic romantic mishmash
>>150135813
Not even the best anime of 1998; that's Cardcaptor Sakura.
>>150135813
It didn't have enough waifu-bait for the Japs.
>What did go wrong that Japan stopped producing quality series like this?
>>150151536
stfu pedo, you're on the list now.
>>150150062
Cardcaptor Sakura > Lain > Cowboy Bebop
>>150135813
Gurren Lagann is the best though.
>>150156703
Lucky Star is a better anime than TTGL.
>>150156726
That is not correct. Lucky Star pales in comparison to Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.
>>150156747
>brilliant deep commentary on mundane life and otakudom
>haphazard, trite mismash of mecha/shonen cliches
It's not even close, /v/ermin.
>>150156902
>lousy, shallow commentary on a subculture people try to forgot
>a modern epic propelling us as a species further as a species with enough life lessons to kill an Indian elephant who uses its tropes better than any series before and after
You're right. They're not even close, f/a/ggot.

A self hating lesbian still hates yuri.

Now watch Crusher Joe. The superior version.

The only show on there that can be described as "yuri" and not "cute girls doing cute things" is Pandora.
>>150135813
Yes, it is the best anime, in the same league as ghost in the shell sac 2, mononoke, and logh. These are objectively the best anime ever made.
>>150157294
Shows that are outright yuri or have heavy yuri undertones: Hibike, Pandora, YrYr, GochiUsa, KinMosa, Yuyushiki
Shows that at least have blatantly yuri characters: NNB, Locodol, Mikakunin
>>150157308
K-ON is objectively better than Legend of the Galactic Heroes. It is the most sophisticated anime ever created; a tour de force, the pièce de résistance of animation! LoGH is little more than plebeian dreck in comparison, its creators wishing they could have produced an anime with even an inkling of the genius contained within Our Holy K-ON. From the profound debates about eating cake, to the highly philosophical discussions about procrastination, to the marvelous musicianship exhibited by the Light Music Club, K-ON has established itself as the greatest intellectual anime. You cannot disagree unless you are a terrible person. Seriously. It's an infallible law of the universe. K-ON is a masterpiece, and we all know that K-ON has the superior tea scenes.
"A phenomenal chef-d'oeuvre. My fifteen years of work on Evangelion now feel trivial by comparison." — Anno Hideaki, esteemed anime director
"During a time of struggle, K-ON's beautiful story provided the influence needed for me to become an ideal president. I am now a better man." — Barack Obama, 44th president of the United States
"I am an uncultured lowborn with pedestrian tastes in anime." — Anonymous plebeian, speaking in reflection of his love for LoGH

I just want to add my voice to the chorus of souls chanting:
SHOO, SHOO MOESHIT

SHOO, SHOO MOESHIT!

If I wanted to see a slice of life, I would slice your life all over the dunes of my fathers land.

You're only now getting around to Cowboy Bebop? How many series have you watched, exactly?
> Is this the greatest anime ever?
If there's a better anime out there, it's also perfect
>>150136458
I enjoyed that Samurai show he did. But I'm sure I have shit taste.
>>150141769
>That one where they ask only old men to watch
I love how aware they are, knowing it's more or less a straight up hard boiled noir drama in those episodes
Also I only recently learned that whoever handled the dub added in a lot of ambient SFX to the show not present in the Japanese version
>>150141769
>Anyway, it was good, but I wouldn't call it the best.
What is?
>>150157355
Nice dubs, but if you need goggles it isn't yuri no matter what those fucks on /u/ say.
>>150157397
Obama was a terrible president, only slightly better than Jimmy fucking Carter. Opinion discarded.
>>150158056
LotGH.
>>150158467
They had different purposes, and both shows fulfilled them splendidly, but LotGH ultimately provided me more entertainment and more fulfilling entertainment.
>>150136446
Lol look at,this fag
>>150135813
>stopped producing
It's not like everything used to be like that, CB's western style was an anomaly rather than the rule. It's great, though also not the greatest ever.
