There will never, ever, EVER be an anime that is as intelligent as it is dark without being edgy and/or appealing almost exclusively to teenagers.
Lament this fact with me, my friends.
Parasyte

Sure thing, OP.

If you think Parasyte is intelligent, you're pseudo-intellectual /r9k/ trash.
Yes op

Why do you think it's not?
>>156556783
Anyone that wants intelligent anime is pseudo-intellectual trash.

Childhood is idolizing Monster. Adulthood is realizing that MLP was for mature adults like me all along.

Is this the future we have decided on? The bastardization of words on the internet? Turning words with real meaning into half assed memes? Where did everything go wrong /a/?
