What the hell did I just watch? What was the meaning behind this?

>what was the meaning behind this?
That fate is inevitable and the only way to truly come to terms is by living your life by your morals and instinct and not by trying to cheat god, by living life to the point of contention and not just slugging along like the people above did or try to force change like robot legs did.

Nobody has seen this? C'mon /a/

>>152353448
There is no meaning, only suffering.

>>152353999
More like it has already been discussed to death.

>>152353999
It's been discussed to death to be fair, although that hasn't stopped people from making constant Flip Flopper and Eva threads.

Also sniper-kun shouldn't have died so early, he was one of the best parts of the show.

was everyone dead at the end of this?

>>152354143
Yes. Mankind literally went extinct or will be once everyone above dies out.

>>152354260
i thought some of the people left the underground near the end?

>>152354275
Maybe but they still would've died if they made it up above.

>>152354069
Sadly I only watched it now
>>152354099
Agreed

Death and Extinction is inevitable but that's ok.

Texhnolyze has been dsicussed a lot on /a/ already, general consensus is that it's primary message is the refutation of nihilism. Check the archive.

Why people in the outside lived in somekind of retrofuturistic '30s?

>>152354392
Texhnolyze is not discussed much because it has no waifus.
Although that doesn't stop Lain from being popular. Why?

I'm not sure what it was but I remember how unbelievably depressed I was after the ending.

>>152355786
Anon please.
For many here Lain is a top tier waifu

>>152354392
>refutation of nihilism
What? I always saw Tehxnolyze as a confirmation of nihilism, nothing makes sense and we just live while we wait for our inevitable doom at the hand s of an unfair fate

>>152355786
>it has no waifus.
>Doc
>Ran

To live life with no rules.

But has cute husbandos. Also, transhumanism best girl.

They're not moe. Even Ran isn't.

I wish I knew.

One of the most based characters in anime history.

>Onishi's secretary

It still hurts. She didn't deserve that end

>>152353448
There was no meaning, despite what others think Abe is a hack fraud. Only good thing he made was Lain and thats because the director of Kino saved that shit.

>>152357286
>>152357569
He just lives his life to the fullest

>>152357569
I think it's partly because of the smugness.

>>152357588
ABe was only in charge of character designs

>>152357572
She got raped and killed, right? That was uncalled for. Was it purely for shock value?

>>152359556
Raped till lost her will to live. Onishi found her and killed her after she asked him to

Wrong picture. There wasn't a single smile in the show. Was it too much to ask to see Ran smile once?

>>152360416
I know anon, it took me some days and I had to binge read Yotsuba and rewatch Aria to fully recover

>>152360289
When I first watched tex, some anon told me to read The Stranger after having finished it
It was a nice experience, you should do it too (if you haven't already read it)

>>152357141
Many people think this for understandable reasons but that's wrong. Texhnolyze showed us that even if life gives you a poor hand and a shitty ending/fate, we can still try to live life to our best and appreciate the sliver of good things on the way to the end of our road.

It's why Ichise looked at the holograph of the flower with a content look while he was waiting for his death.

>>152357548
>>152357569
He was a soulless bastard. The emptiness of his life somehow gave him the right to impose himself and his ideals onto others.

>>152360789
>It's why Ichise looked at the holograph of the flower with a content look
What exactly is the "sliver" of good in his dying moment? His memories, who he's tried to be, the life he has or hasn't lived? As "best" as one may attempt to live life, it all ends at the moment of death. Every experience, memory, every bit of knowledge collected and honed over the years of existence are all gone when neural death beckons one. No, I agree with that anon: nihilism is the key, and thus the message.

This show was beautiful yet unbelievably depressing

>>152360843
Wrong. He was a true altruist.

>>152354099
>that hasn't stopped people from making constant Flip Flopper and Eva threads
>Flip Flopper
Anon, Flip Flap ended three weeks ago. Texhnolyze ended thirteen years ago.

>>152360973
Are you seriously stating all this when the surface world was shown in such a negative light? It was the stuff of nightmares.

Yoshii was there as a character for a reason. Conflict along with the things we hold dear are what makes us alive.

>>152353448
Tehxnolyze have a great ending music.

>>152353448
"channer"

>>152362469
It was pretty comfy. The context made it seem horrible, but actually living in the surface world wouldn't have been that bad.

>>152364864
>"channer"
what did he mean by this?

Why are the doctors in anime always fucking crazy

What was Kano's masterplan?

If you can even call what the people above ground were doing "living".

>>152370102
they were post modern pussies who can't enjoy things

It was a jojo reference.

Surface was a world were literally nothing happens.
