Why is this anime so praised? It's just a bunch of long,

it looks pretty, same as Akira

>>155854338
NEWSFLASH: People have different opinions, you ignorant boob.

>>155854168
Because it actually has a theme, unlike most anime.

>>155854168
It's fine if you don't get it. I don't get why the mona lisa is such a big deal personally.

>>155854168
people consider it a masterpiece more for the tone it sets rather than the characters of the plot which to be honest are okay at best

>>155854168
Because ART

>>155854168
It's precisely because of the 'atmosphere scenes' that the GiTS movie is praised. If you found these scenes to be long, pointless and boring then the movie (and probably the cyberpunk genre in general) just isn't for you.

>>155854168
Atmosphere and Puppet Masters voice.

>>155854168
>2 action scenes both being very lame and worse than television action anime
Name one (1) better action scene from last season.

>>155854918
you can do so much with cyberpunk it doesn't have to be all scenery and art

>>155854683
Damn. meant to post that on the pepe thread.

I was always under the impression that SAC was more popular.

>>155854168
its an okay movie with good art/animation

>>155855325
GitS isn't just scenery and art, either. You not liking or understanding the themes, philosophy and symbolism in the movie doesn't mean they're not there.

Movie was just animation porn
Manga is just tecnobabble
The TV series is just right.

Too many 12 years old kids here.

>>155854338
If you thought Git:s was deep and you never came up with those existential thoughts on your own you're definitely a brainlet.

>>155858451
It's not 'deep', it's just a nice evocation of simple philosophical themes. It emerges you in the feeling of isolation from humanity through the atmosphere.

>>155854168
Keep in mind it was released in fucking 1995.
Back then even Ghibli was niche in the western world.

>>155858503
>emerges
meant 'immerses'

>>155854168
It's highly thoughtful, exudes mastery of the craft and is very unique in anime / animation in general. I think you went into it with the wrong mindset, it's got some cool action but it's not an "action movie" like that, it's a lot more slow and deliberate.

Childhood is idolizing Akira.
Adulthood is realizing that GitS s true anime kino.

>>155854168
Because it was a good movie. Stop trying to be contrarian, bitch

>>155854168
>action scenes both being very lame
(You)

>>155854266
Well that's true of Akira. I still enjoy the movie but only for the animation mostly. It pales in comparison to the manga.

Be cool if they did a new version in the form of four two hour movies.

>>155854168
And here come the "anime experts" who saw the new movie then decided to watch the original.

>>155854434

>actually bumping this blatant bait

ScarJo in a skin tight suit. What's not to love?

>>155859282
but this is actually how I feel though. Some of my favorite shows in that infograph (well ok, like 2).
not really that my taste is better or whatever
but moeshit is fucking awful and barely any romances or shounen action anime are worth watching (which I think are the most popular types, at least 'round here). I just can't get through it, it's so boring to me.

I liked some typical anime girl high school animes like ToraDora and such, but really most of it is just for a pick me up, I'd never tell anyone those shows were like really good artistic pieces or anything.

idk I really like anime and it makes me v.sad I'm hated because I don't think moejunk is that good.

>>155859754
Man, everything about your post tells me you're a bad person.

Every single one of those is worthwhile.

>>155854168
It's a sci-fi anime that's well animated and a clear theme. It isn't mind blowing, but it did what it did well

>>155859993
the picture doesn't insinuate that they aren't worthwhile

>>155859282
>look mom I posted it again
This image is retarded. For starters, no one on /a/ likes ergo proxy. And the crowd that is into EVA isn't into Tatami and NHK.

>>155858451
The only way you'd be able to appreciate it is if you /had/ already had these thoughts.

Nice try being pretentious idiot.

>>155859993
lain is pure fucking garbage EVA is over rated monster is to fucking long with shitty plot and ergoproxy is boring as fuck

only 3 things are worth watching and only GItS could be called "pretentious" also why the fuck is NHK even listed

The word you're looking for is an underage redditor, it shows in his insecure parentheses, awkward spacing, repeated use of I, and general shit taste desu.

>just finished the original movie, SAC, 2nd gig and SSS
Where do I go from here
I was thinking Arise but I'm a dumbfag and it's not on Hulu
I heard 2.0 was to be avoided

>>155859885
>>tfw to intelligent for anime
It's 'too' not 'to', retard.

>>155860049
So what does it insinuate? That watching good shows makes you pretentious? Because that makes no sense.
>>155860152
>one run-on sentence full of cheap buzzwords generalizing entire shows as valid criticism
Try again.

>>155860309
No, it's just making fun of a certain kind of anime-watcher. Go lurk a 3x3 thread or something, you'll see the type.

>>155860188
>insecure parenthesis
Literally making things up as you go, huh?

>>155860270
manga
also 2.0 isn't bad its just "different" it lacks the major for most the movie just like SSS

>>155860503
The Manga is basically the movie in manga form right?

>>155854168
Sci-fi is 99% setting
If the setting isn't believable, it doesn't matter how good the story is
GitS is good Sci-fi

>>155860542
no its completely different plus a way more light hearted and goofy major

>>155860594
Oh wow, yeah I'll give it a read then. Thanks. Is there anything else after that?

Is there anything else on the new anime coming out?

>>155860270
innocence

>>155860652
That's not on hulu either

Anyway gonna go dig up the manga wherever I can find it, thanks again

>>155860630
nothing about the new anime is known and their is also more than one manga

>>155860760
well you need to watch it
figure it out

>tfw you rewatch gits and your mind is blown as you pick up on all the stuff you didn't notice because you were underage and couldn't binge when you watched it on adult swim.

>>155855325
The movie was trying to be philosophical and ask deep questions regarding humanity and what's deemed as real to an individual

The cyberpunk aesthetic was merely a vehicle for the anime

>>155860398
That's a pretty weak deflection, newfag.

>>155861115
because transhumanism has nothing to do with cyberpunk at all

and the two main things the major goes on about are hardly 2fuckingdeep4me
>is a soul real
>what makes a human

You aren't intelligent or cinema-savvy enough to appreciate it. You can't really understand a Mamoru Oshii film without studying Andrei Tarkovsky and Chris Marker's filmography.

Why's that?

>You can't really understand a Mamoru Oshii film without studying Andrei Tarkovsky and Chris Marker's filmography.
Fuck off. You don't need to be familiar with an artist's inspirations to enjoy their work, or there'd be a never-ending spiral of research needed to get enjoyment out of anything.
Oshii's films are their own thing, with their own quirks. What you're saying would only be accurate if they were simply Marker and Tarkovsky tribute pieces.
>>155861629
No reason, he's just signalling his film knowledge to prop up a false sense of superiority over 'casual' viewers of this film.

>>155860276
that is the bait/joke you dumbass

I really hope the new anime is a continuation of SAC. Not a huge fan of Arise desu

Actually the whole way everything's different continuities kind of irks me. I have a hard time getting into the other parts because I expect the characters to act like the part I watched/read previously. Anyone else have that kind of issue?

>>155859411
The live action movie obviously.

Also if Scarjo plays any anime/manga character in live action it should be Riza Hawkeye. Not the fucking Major

>>155863000
Who would portray the Major?

It's fantastically animated (which for some reasons retards around here want to pretend isn't a good factor to judge an animation on), creates a great atmosphere and has a very interesting approach to the whole Transhumanism thing and sells it very well.

>>155859282

These are all good shows.

Just how I like em.
The only thing better than scifi tech descriptions in literature is the same thing but with nice drawings and diagrams to go with it.

>>155859282
Only Eva, Ergo Proxy and Angel's Egg can correctly be called pretentious in that whole image.
