Who's the Michelangelo of anime?

>>154617283
Tezuka.

Anno is the van Gogh of anime but instead of being appreciated after his death, he's being appreciated after the death of his remaining brain cells, the last of which he used in a last hurrah with Shin Godzilla. Makoto Shinkai is moving his way up into the big leagues and Miyazaki might as well bite the dust any minute now, he's not going to be appreciated now or then once you get past your childlike Ghibli fascination.

Shinkai hasn't created anything that will be considered a masterpiece in 10 years time though. Not to mention he lacks range, and stays comfortably in his romance/drama driven bubble.

Am I witnessing the birth of a new copypasta?

>>154618024
He's moving up in the sense that Kimi no na wa. will give him the opportunities to flesh out his portfolio. It taking the box office by storm and completely stomping everything else has given Shinkai status which, if used effectively, will allow him to move towards newer ideas. Knowing him, it'll end up twisted into a romance/drama plot nonetheless but if he has any sense, he'll break new ground. Trampling his favorite director's records underfoot were likely a fluke but one he needed.

>>154618467
It's a parody of those kind of shows.
It tells you that it's full of boring dialogue so you can concentrate on how cute the girls are, then goes on to make references to weird shit that happened decades ago that even people in Japan forgot about, and Kumeta's own brand of anti-Korea right-wing nationalism.

It's not difficult to search the archive. But yeah, four Joshiraku threads since the 11th, one broadly Kumeta thread and at least two SZS threads.

I'm not saying that getting one thread per day is normal but Joshiraku gets talked about a lot for a 5 year old show that wasn't one of the major shows of that season anyway and that had plenty of problems with subs.

>>154625999

>>154626072
This is an exception rather than the rule. Joshiraku threads are far less common than SZS threads on an annual basis.

They also have subtitle timing issue. The type setting is off by a frame.

>>154626222
And they should be, there's a lot less to talk about in both manga and anime form but it still has a reasonably large following for when it aired and what it was.

>>154626417
It doesn't have a reasonably large following for when it aired nor does it for the content it has. It's severely underrated by actual viewers familiar with the references and overrated by those who think they "get" it.

Get on my level. I understood every reference in Nichijou.

For example, the sandbox scene in Episode 3 is a reference to the foreword of L'Écume des jours in which Boris Vian writes that the only two real things in the world are the love of pretty girls and the music of New Orleans.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7dmM-QMkmg
This is actually good

>>154626469
The number of people who claim to understand every reference is tiny. Not even the guy who subbed it got every single one and plenty of actual Japanese wouldn't either. The vast majority of people who like the show are in the middle and understand a decent number of the main jokes and references, miss plenty of others and ultimately just enjoy the ordinary dialog that lets them fully focus on the cuteness of the girls.

>>154626595
How do I be like you, anon?
I want to understand all references

>>154626725
Here's a wiki link explaining all the jokes in episode one, in Japanese.
http://wiki.kumetan.net/index.php?%E7%AC%AC%E4%B8%80%E5%B8%AD%E3%80%8E%E6%99%AE%E6%AE%B5%E5%95%8F%E7%AD%94%2F%E3%81%B5%E3%81%8F%E9%81%95%E3%81%84%2F%E5%8F%AB%E3%81%B3%E6%8C%87%E5%8D%97%E3%80%8F
All of which is to say that nobody gets Joshiraku, except Kumeta himself.

Nichijou and especially KyoAni references aren't hard. Good on you for graduating high school English but you shouldn't let it get to your head.

That's fine if you don't claim to know more than you do. Back when Joshiraku was airing, you had idiots in the threads trying to explain jokes they didn't even understand themselves. For people that understand Japanese society and their history, it's actually really pathetic to read.

What? Keiichi Arawi inserted a ridiculous amount of stuff that only he would understand, and he was involved in writing every script according to Ishidate.

There's a line in episode 2 that sounds mispronounced in Japanese, but becomes a pun if you translate it into Malay. Which could be written off as a coincidence, except Yukko says good morning in Malay in the first episode.

>>154627689
>only he would understand
Listen, pal. Just because you're an uncultured EOP with no experience with what Arawi wrote besides what you jammed into Google Translate from a 2chan post, the same doesn't go for everyone else. Nichijou is low culture.

>>154627771
Why are you this mad?

>>154627827
If I was mad, I wouldn't be pushing for people to better understand Joshiraku. It is an outrage that people missed out on this show. It's like watching Pani Poni Dash and thinking you understand what it's about at face value.

>there's an entire wiki in Japanese devouted to Kumeta's works because they are so dense with autistic references and bad jokes nobody understands

>>154627858
ok

>>154627911
Japan gets off on referential humor. This shit was wildly popular back in the day when they could get away with blatantly referencing other anime in their series. They still like to stroke their ego since it's bigger than their microdicks by understanding obscure references no one else would care about when enjoying a show.

>>154627858
You can understand a show at face value without understanding every joke and reference, to say otherwise is ridiculous.

>>154628477
Dokdo

Look, I don't mean to trash Joshiraku, I really don't. But objectively, it's a shit anime. Any series telling you the dialogue is tertiary and to enjoy the cute girls only instead knows that it has no value. Worse yet because they only delivered on the girls being cute HALF the time, whether it was how they were dressed or acted. You know why there were so many references? It's because there's nothing there, no vested interest in portraying these girls in multiple settings with a driven purpose so instead they slap as many references as they can into the episode and call it a day. To say Lucky Star is secondary to Joshiraku only proves one thing and it's that you've never watched Lucky Star or watched it when you were still an anime babby.

>>154628900
Lucky Star isn't really that good, irrespective of how good or bad Joshiraku is. It's the nostalgia talking.

>>154629019
It's not irrespective of Joshiraku since that's what the entire OP post is about.

You must be some newfag. The original work is a satire work with nearly all dialogue to reflect the inconsistencies and odd logic in Japanese society and some even beyond that similar to the mangaka's previous work Sayonara Zetsuba Sensei. You seem to miss all the satire in it somehow maybe due to being a shut in who has no relatable experience with society, or be a dumbass, or something and instead focused on the the pretty kawaii desu girls and took the show at face value.

Everything you said only applies if you don't speak nip and don't understand their culture. Having lived in Japan for two years and being fluent in the language very little actually went over my head, I am not particularly smart either. I doubt any Jap is going to have any problems with understanding this.

That isn't to say it is a cleverly created and funny show, but this "required raw intelligence" you speak of is an illusion created by the subs coming with so many TL notes that you quite literally have to pause several times in an episode to read all the onscreen TL;DR.

I did an internship in Tokyo prior to moving here and I loved it, which is why I decided to move here. Is the country perfect? No, but it is clean and people are polite, which is more than can be said for Germany.

>>154634756
Tomino is a bit of a wildcard. His success with Gundam didn't come until a little after his original works which, for a robot series, had very poor designs for marketing and little else appeal. This is more salient with Dunbine, Garzey's Wing, and other series he worked on; without robots, Tomino's weapon grade autism fell on deaf ears by making a cast that was not believable nor likeable. Even Gundam wasn't truly embraced by the Japanese audience from the start but the notion of a teenager thrust into a war setting and forced to fend for themselves managed to coincide with Tomino's inability to portray reasonable character interactions; in a war setting, no one is expected to act completely rational. Take Amuro ditching White Base with his Gundam and messing around in Zeon armed outposts because he had a temper tantrum. Gundam is about the only work that is universally appreciated not because Tomino made likeable characters but because they're made realistic by the setting. You can see why G-Reco had such divided opinions on it from this phenomenon too. Half of the viewers praise it for following Tomino's brand of robot series to a T while the other half realize the character motivations cease to make sense in the setting of the series. Belri's attitude swings back and forth like a pendulum and the state of affairs for the cast rarely has to do with it.
