So I've been watching Madoka and Ep #10 is probably the best all around anime episode ever created in the history of anime. I just wanted to get that out of my system.

Madoka is the modern Evangelion.
>>156998097
It's been over since 6 years ago, does that even count as modern in animation?
>>156998097
We'll, it's kind of an upgrade from Eva considering all the symbolism and meaning in Evangelion is just for show where as in Madoka there is tons of hidden meaning and lore.
>>156997774
>Ep #10 is probably the best all around anime episode ever created in the history of anime
what more anime
>>156998231
Care to name one? I've watched so many anime series and I honestly myself can't think of a better episode?
>>156997774
episode 10 is what is known as a god episode.
very few episodes from any series are ever called that in Japan.
>>156997774
Welcome to 2011. Now everyone's a bit jaded about the show. To say the least it's the best executed thing Urobuchi has written, but it's not really that outstanding. Check out some charts on 2010s anime for more.
Higurashi did it better
>>156997774
make sure to watch the movie as well
Madoka was a solid 6/10.
Obviously the dub is superior and I don't care what anybody says! That scream is amazing.

>god episode.
any other episodes that get called like that?
>>156998708

>>156998650
Make sure to check out modern classics like Maid Dragon and Flip Flappers.
>>156998977
never noticed the dub was this good, homuras jap va is pretty execptional too
on 10/10 eps i'd say code geass r2 ep 25 sticks out, maybe ep 31 of snk in time, and a few from champloo and mushishi
>>156999487
Ancient meme, but I'm still correct
>>156999646
Or Mawaru Penguindrum, Uchoten Kazoku, Mushishi Zoku Shou, Shingeki no Kyojin, Hyouge Mono, Kokaku Kidokai Arise...
>>157000059
That's not fair to Mushishi.
>>156997774
Are you the Anon who said it was alright so far? If so, happy you continued
>>157000181
Mushishi is not fair to the world, so we're even
>>157000059
>Shingeki no Kyojin, Kokaku Kidokai Arise
Fuck off.
Over time I've grown to like the intro theme more than the ending theme to Madoka.
I think we can all agree that Silver Garden is the best Madoka song though.
Non Non Biyori Repeat episode 4 is the greatest episode of anime.
>>156997774
It was so good it caused Fukushima
It's a quite goodly
I think it's time for a little segment I like to call (real talk) time. It's a short period in the thread where you can ask questions about the series you and most people are usually scared to ask and people can't judge you as long as you say real talk first.
Real talk: whose idea was it to make Sayaka the slut of the series?
>inb4 Urobuchi as he already said he was against the idea
>>156999646
Flip Flappers would have been better if they didn't focus so much on the story and it was just a sol adventure series.
Also Papika and Cocona are really fun names.
>>156998399
The final episode from season one of Sora no Otoshimono (Heavens Lost Property) was pretty good but that's a completely different kind of anime.
It's a shame season two was absolute dog shit compared to season one. It was almost as disappointing as Soul eater Not but I won't go that far.
I think a certain new character ruined it.
>>156997774
Get out of here
>>156997774
Watch more anime first.
>>156997774
You're probably right frankly. I'm not sure if there are any others that could contest it for what it does in terms of plot and characterization.
>>157006063

I watched them. Madoka Episode 10 is still the best. Nothing else has ever been so engaging that I've felt the same sense of time dilation.
>>157006689
Don't waste your time. He probably hasn't even watched Madoka and a lot of people just like to disagree.
>>157006689
Who was your favorite character by the way?
>>157006689
>I watched them
What, all of them? You watched all of the animes?
>>157007398
2011 /mlp/ was probably just as entertaining, to be fair.
>>157007398
Stay there.
>>157007398
Seriously the best show I have ever watched, it has a sense of pacing and tone that is unlike most shows, and the writing is superb for what it is, always looping back into itself thematically very tightly. It also has themes and symbolism that actually pays off and forms a cohesive whole and aren't there just to look cool and edgy, also unlike most shows.
I have wished desperately for the "watch more animes you pleb" crowd to be right because I want more shows that are this well done, but I never found them.
You are almost correct OP.
But Dance like you want to win is better.

Lol nope
It's an episode which moves forward the psychology and relationship of asuka and shinji.
And since that's the whole point of Eva, it's not filler.

>best anime
Holy shit you're such a fanboy. Please take off the nostalgia goggles my dude because I watched Eva back before I was used to good anime and I'll admit I love Eva but I still would never compare it to Madoka.
In all reality FLCL holds more symbolism and meaning than Eva and I personally think FLCL would be a better comparison if you want something to compete with Madoka.
>>157009454
There is more than just Christian symbolism in Eva
>>157009759
>FLCL holds more symbolism
you mean metaphors.
FLCL was a test for animation techniques with a bunch of Freud thrown in
>lmao everything is sex! a penis growing out your head ahahah puberty lol
>deleting his post to re-post as namefag
oh nevermind I didn't notice I was wasting my time with a retard
Madoka threads bring out the worst posters
I watched Evangelion on Adult swim as a kid.
>>157009801
>Madoka threads bring out the worst posters
it's babby's first "oh wait this is not actually cute" anime
(it's still a masterpiece, but its popularity attracts the worst newfags)
>>157009795
The name is so I can continue arguments with people that leave or for when I have to leave and to show my support for the best character in the series.
Also I love how you're trying to defend Eva by oversimplifying FLCL when you can literally do that wih anything in the world and even Anno won't even defend Eva. FLCL completely surpasses it anon and you can't even really argue against that.
>>157009904
>when you can literally do that wih anything in the world and even Anno won't even defend Eva.
my first post was literally:
>>157009454
>>not him but Anno himself said most christian symbols are there just for show
remember?
>>157009960
No you weren't actually defending anything and that's coming from an Eva fan. You're just making yourself look like a joke by claiming Evangelion is the best anime of all time.
>>157010000
I will claim that until I have breath
my point in this thread is that Eva's strength does not rely in "deepest lore" hidden symbolism, but in other things.
I think Eva can portray human beings better than many actual movies.
The Evangelion series is average at best and overrated while EoE is actually good and the only reason I'd recommend the Eva series to anybody so that they can watch it but to compare Eva to Madoka is laughable in my opinion and once again this is coming from an Eva fan.
>>157010037
True but that's why it's popular and it's unjustified.
I could literally say I love Evangelion because Asuka is my sweet strawberry shortcake honey mama and I'd be more justified in saying that than the 95% of fans who claim they love it for all the symbolism and meaning it holds.
>>157010303
>True but that's why it's popular and it's unjustified.
I could say the same about Madoka (shock value, shaft art) and it would be true
but "normalfags flock to it for this" is not a reason to worsen my opinion of an anime
>>157010399
Most anime use "shock value" anon. If the story is shit none of it matters. Even comedy anime rely on shock value for jokes. Do you not understand that saying that is like saying without relationships Clannad would be bad or something equally as retarded like without Incest Oriemo would suck.
Just because you don't like a popular anime for whatever reason doesn't mean you can handicap it to make an argument. If I was trying to make an argument about Prisma Illya I wouldn't say without the cute girls the series would be shit because that's obviously not the case or it would be a completely different anime.
>>157010510
I think you are under the uncorrect assumption that I do not like madoka.
It's in my top 5, I just rate Eva above.
I am pointing out that you attribute normalfags errors as flaws of the anime itself in Eva case (it's bad because fanbase likes it for the wrong reasons)
which incidentally I said so myself so we agree
but then don't do this for Madoka.
Basically fanbase liking Madoka for the wrong reasons does not concern you, but it does for Eva.
not fair
The creators of every anime on the planet have the option to add as much "shock value" as they damn well please so why aren't they all as popular or more popular than Madoka? Obviously it's not so easy.
>>157010614
Because there's a difference when the creator or the entire series (Anno) specifically says everything is just for show and means nothing. That means the people who enjoy Eva for the symbolic meaning are factually wrong.
>>157010692
>That means the people who enjoy Eva for the symbolic meaning are factually wrong.
they are wrong.
I agree.
It's still not a flaw of the anime, but the public.
The spectacle of EOE alone was good enough reason for people to enjoy it as much as they do but when 95% of the fans try to shove this symbolic meaning bullshit down everybody's throats you can see how it would irritate others and I'd estimate its about 95% of the fanbase easily but when you watch reviews from people who aren't brainwashed they say what I believe a lot of the time.
Eva series - okay
EOE - good and every anime fan should probably watch it at some point
Does that mean I think EOE is even close to the best anime ever? No.

Goodbye.
I never got why episode 10 was the highlight for people when Sayaka's arc was the best thing about the show.
>>157010844
Thanks for your opinion.
Try watching Madoka when you get a chance anon.

>>157010897
I feel like the entire series was good start to finish but common guy, you're honestly are going to sit here and say you don't understand why episode ten was the highlight? We both know better than that.
fuck that overrated teenage angst crap.
>>157010976
>overrated
I like how you hipster contrarians make yourselves so easy to spot. People like you is a sure sign Madoka is good.
>>157010937
It was just revealing Homura's backstory and cementing her as the main character of her own timeline. Sure it gave clarification for the whole show but it doesn't really hold a candle to the storytelling and drama in Sayaka's arc.
>>157011133

Homura > Madoka > Sayaka > Kyouko > Mami > Nagisa
>>157012287
Sayaka > Kyouko > Mami > Homura > Madoka >>>> shit >>>> Nagisa
I don't know if the Kyoko art guy who pretends he hates Kyoko still goes to these threads but if you show up at some point a Kyoko clone Rosso Phantasma Ginyu force pose would definitely be the coolest thing ever especially if you had Sayka fighting them dressed in Goku's battle outfit and preferably all torn up.
>>157012374
Decent taste anon.
>>156998639
>>156999203
I thought many episodes of many shows were called such, like rezero#13, #18, madoka #3, AoT#1, Angel Beats #3, Clannad AS #18, S;G #25, Anohana #11, Haruhu #12, etc.
>>157012556
>madoka #3
Really? The twist at the end is great but I didn't think the episode in its entirety was that special.
>Clannad AS #18
It hurts.
>>157012556
When Rem confessed her love in Rezero it was actually one of the best confessions in anime I've ever seen
I also like the break up scene between Tomoya and Tomoyo and also the OVA from Clannad where Tomoya breaks up with Kyou's sister just because of how emotional it was. I probably watched it over ten times and I'm not joking.
>>157012556
Also the Disappearance of Haruhi Is probably the all around best anime "movie" on earth in my opinion which shows I'm not being totally biased towards Madoka although I really liked Rebellion a lot.
http://www.animecontentsexpo.jp/special/kamikai/index.html
Actually, back in 2013 have organized an event of watching god eoisodes of anime from 2000 to 2012 back to back and here is a list of episodes shown there. Some are recommended by newtype or voice actors but most are voted by fans
>>157012865
The Kyou OVA was great. She was my favorite. It does make you feel bad for Ryou, though. The game has an optional ending where you just stay with her instead.
>>157013021
Wow, I'm surprised they put an episode of s-CRY-ed on there. That's pretty cool.
>>157013077
I really felt bad for both of them and I liked that it actually made me feel something unlike most anime I watched at the time so I downloaded the episode and listened to it on the walk to school a lot. Those were some depressing days.
>>157013224
If it's any consolation they cut out a character from the game named Kappei who ends up marrying Ryou in his route. He also ends up dating Ryou at the end of the Kyou route, several months after Tomoya breaks up with her, so things don't end too badly for her ultimately.
>>157013438
I've read about it but I don't understand why they did it when they could have easily just used Youhei. Kinda makes me mad how they treated him the entire series but whatever. I don't know for sure but I remember reading something about a gay route with Tomoya x Youhei they added as a joke.
>>157013530
Yeah, he really gets shit on. At least Key made Little Busters and did a better treatment of friendship.
>I don't know for sure but I remember reading something about a gay route with Tomoya x Youhei they added as a joke.
Yeah this is true. Tomoya is the only gay one in it, though. It's not serious at all and the main joke is flipping their normal interaction where Tomoya insults Sunohara whenever he says something into Tomoya complimenting and agreeing with him instead. It's kind of funny.
>>156997774
OP confirmed for good taste
>>157013767
I don't mean to seem over anxious or anything but can we just cut the bullshit and just get down to brass tacks? Who is your favorite Clannad and why?
I like Kyou because she has personality while still not being too much of anything else to the point where it's a distraction and is actually the best character in my opinion.
Ryou - overly shy
Nagisa - overly shy and health problems
Tomoyo - overly strict but still pretty good
Fuko - immature
Kotomi - handicapped
Sanae - would be best but kinda old
>>157009759

>>157014027
How does she have fans? I'm not even being rude but she didn't really do much in the series.
So any news except the PSP game and the NHK poll thingy? I'm all dried up now but I still have hope.
I don't hate Rebellion but it's fucking terrible as an ending for the franchise.
>>157014498
No news but I don't think it's actually ending after rebellion. They're probably going to finish cashing in on Monogatari and then do another Madoka movie. It might take a while sort of like how Eva did with the rebuilds after the three original movies but I'm pretty sure that's how it will go down.
>you'll never be this close to mami's chest
>>157014641
Not so fast nerd!
Read up on Murphy's Quantum Law and the multiverse theory.
>>157014368
Kyou is my favorite too. Other than her personality, I liked that she didn't need to be "helped" in some way like the others did, so her story is mainly focused on her feelings for Tomoya. In turn her route is the only one that gives you a light orb just for dating her. Nagisa and Fuko don't give you one, Kotomi gives you one after everything is resolved regarding her parents, Tomoyo only gives you one if you get her elected to the student council. I think it says something that just dating her and allowing her feelings to be requited without guilt regarding Ryou is equivalent to some of that other shit, like with Kotomi.
Also I would've been happy with an alternate After Story ending where Tomoya ended up with her and Nagisa stayed dead.
My favorite routes in the game are Kotomi and Nagisa, though. Kyou's is good of course, but so much of it is spent dating Ryou. It can be frustrating to play through it.
>watch Rebellion
>hate it
>rewatch Rebellion
>10/10
what went right?
I'm pretty sure I know the reason people think they hate rebellion when in fact they really don't. It's kinda sad but I know it's just going to cause a big argument so I don't think I'll say it.
>>157014898
It's better once you don't have to spend the first chunk of the movie confused about what's happening.
>>156997774
Something you should know is that after episode 10 there was an earthquake in japan and episode 11 was delayed.
>>157014438
True, her character hasn't done much in the series but since she's associated with Mami and is a moe character, she's bound to have at least some fans
>>157015063
At least her theme is cool.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=A8Smccnscys
>>157010844
the major consensus agrees that personal opinion is an accurate indicator of the mindset of a group you associate with
Madoka and Homura are good friends!
Did these two get development in the manga or something? They're relationship feels force in the anime and rebellion
>>157015505
I think Kyoko and Homura are good friends. I think Madoka and Homura's relationship is a weeee bit more complicated than that and we may have to wait another five or ten years before we can discover what truly rests inside these girls hearts.
I think it's super affection.
>>156997774
Recency effect much?
>>157015606
Yeah they barely even become friends, if that, during the tv show.
>>157015687
Homura says Madoka is her only friend and Madoka says that Homura is her very best friend. That's how good of friends they are!
>>157015505
>>157015890
Which one tops?
>>157015890
Yea but maybe Homura said only because she wanted it to seem special without specifically saying "I've loved you for a long time Madoka and I want to spend the rest of my life with you" because that would be weird. You can't say that to somebody you're not even dating yet.
>watched almost 500 series and movies according to my text file

I also rank eva at the top too.

>>157009428
>Just for show
ano himself admitted ALL the "deep symbolism" that people found in Eva were put in there largely due to the fact he thought christian "imagery" was cool. He's made it clear a number of times over the years that all the "deep imagery" that people think eva contains was mostly him just trying to make the anime look deep and appealed to his own Chuuni sense of ascetics and held no greater significance
that's right. Eva's "deep symbolism" was basically a nip chuuni expressing all his inner desires for what he thinks looks cool.
>>157018213
This is power. I wish Apple-chan was by my side. No king should be without a queen.
>>157018196
Fool! I'll never be that petty. It's common sense who the Phantasma's are.
>>157018249
Yea I'm pretty sure the ones on /a/ already know that (hopefully) but you haven't lived until you've had an Eva fan in the real world try telling you how revolutionary and meaningful Evangelion was and how it changed their life.
>>157018236
Rebellion is great, though.
>>157018429
>>157018429
It's not like Homura did anything wrong.
>>157018470
It was actually good in my opinion anon. Can you tell me why you specifically hated it besides the fact that it's popular and you're a hipster?
Does anyone have the full webm for this?
I lost my fucking hard disk.
>>157018526
Also Mami pretty much confirmed my list here in this fight.

>>157018526
>>157018790
That fight was great but the part at the end where she's actually a ribbon clone (or whatever it was) was too overpowered, I think. Homura legitimately bested her but they had to take it away somehow.
>>157018995
Ohhh, I'm sorry you don't think TIME STOP is a little bit OP? Mami definitely bested her and multiple times. That fight wasn't the only one.
>>157019067
Time stop can be countered by grabbing her in some way, which is what Mami does (and surprise, she can do it invisibly too). She finally tricked Mami into making a mistake when she shot herself in the head, but it doesn't matter because she was just fighting a ribbon clone. Come on.
I like Mami.
>>157018995
You'll also notice in their battle that Homura was shooting at Miami and Miami was actually shooting her bullets away. Mami didn't want to hurt Homura.
Watch the beginning of it.
>>157019200
Pretty sure she only swapped with the ribbon clone right at the end when there was that huge dust cloud. The gun she's holding looks different before and after that part too.
>>157019200
If you think that's bad she's an even worse matchup for Kyoko. The fight would have been over in ten seconds in Kyoko's favor if they battled.
>>157019208
She is nice.
Now that Kyoko's l0ve mentioned her what happened to Apple-chan? It has been almost 2 weeks. Not even a post in the archive.
>>157014898
Is Rebellion what you would call "kino?"
