>>
>>157222896
Honestly the idea that big name directors like those are elitist choices gives me a chuckle in itself. They're just so obvious and universally agreed upon as good almost. They're like the picks that would make up 1-10 of a bfi best 100 films list. It's like saying "I like Hitchcock, Kubrick and Fellini" the only people that would think those are elitist picks are those that know nothing bout film besides that which is in front of their nose. The same goes for the likes of Oshii, Miyazaki and Yuasa in a 3x3.

I'm talking about the real "mainstream" animes, not the cult ones. I'm talking about Naruto, Bleach, Digimon, Dragon Ball, Saint Seiya mainstream level. The kind that hits the masses.

>>157223189
If anything the real criticism would lay with making "safe" choices by picking those things not "elitist" choices. It can come across as trite and lacking in sincerity because it doesn't seem all that personal to say "I like 9 shows that almost everyone universally agrees up as good".

In truth though, there is no reason that can't be just as sincere. There is a reason they are almost universally agreed upon as good. It just often feels like it lacks a personal flair where upon you can see that an actual person with actual personal taste made it.

>>157223334
You get some people posting Dragonball and Digimon but to be honest the reason you don't see that much of those shows is because they very often aren't that great in one way or another. It isn't surprising that people who invest a lot of time into a medium would end up with wildly different favourites from those who just casually dip their toe in. The same can be said of any cultural pursuit from movies and music to novels. The more you consume of something the more developed your taste will become.
>>
>>157223334
>I'm talking about Naruto, Bleach, Digimon, Dragon Ball, Saint Seiya mainstream level.

Once you've seen more anime that stuff is just not that good. They're fun FIGHTAN SHOWS and I'm not looking down on anyone for liking them, but they aren't complex, don't usually really make you feel anything, don't have really unique or great art (Except maybe One Piece), and the characters are mostly made up of common archetypes. When you've seen more, they struggle to stand out in the crowd, even if just because they all get aped to hell and back when they get popular.

Plenty of us on here have been watching anime for 20+ years now, and we've found something that maybe has less mass appeal but appeals to our personal niche tastes. Put whatever you want on your 3x3 but don't expect people in actual anime-focused communities who watch hours and hours of this stuff every day to pick the formulaic hollywood blockbusters.
>>
>>157223445
>>157223469

I picked that up from context, I mean what's this complaint he made that everyone's talking about?
>>
>>157223334
This is like asking why someone who has watched a lot of movies isn't picking capeshit like Avengers or Hulk as his favorite movie.
>>
>>157223460
In /a/ though people pick anime to make them seem smarter a lot. like Mononoke or Kaiba, which are both great shows but are more elitist. Look at OP, he's getting hounded for liking BnHA, Watamote and FMA, stuff that is loved almost everywhere else
>>
>>157223674
Something about how a lot of people just like the same favorite anime like Gankutsuou or Monster or LoGH or Texhnolyze or Tatami Galaxy or Aria etc.
>>
>>157223740

Oh

Those are all good though
>>
>>157223722
And then look at the post below OP full of "dumb" shows that nobody is critcsing that poster for. It has nothing to do with how smart those shows are.
>>
>>157223722

Maybe people just genuinely like shit with that kind of atmosphere, man.

I do. If you ask me to search deep inside myself and ask myself if I like One Piece or Dragon Ball (both of which I really do like) more than Mononoke, I'm never going to come up with "Yes" as an answer. I'd rather be true to what I actually enjoy watching than adjust it to try to seem less tryhard or something.

For the record, Mononoke isn't on my 3x3 though.
>>
>>157223801
Mainly because people haven't seen most of those shows
>>
>>157223865
I for one don't find it particularly surprising that a community primarily made of late teen to college aged nerdy males prefers their anime "smart".
>>
>>157223974
That's one of the things that always surprises me about this complaint too. People somehow expect to see a diversity of choices but never stop to consider that firstly just by being a person browsing 4chan /a/ you are self-selecting and restricting the demographic. Then further to that to be the kind of person that would post in these threads you are restricting even further. The group of people actually posting in here is probably fairly homogeneous in demographic composition thus it isn't all that surprising to see a relative homogeneity and lack of diversity in preferences.

>>157225358
Never got invested with any of the characters and I found their chemistry more frustrating than endearing.
The Jazzy Suave style was never really my thing, I guess I was just never brought up with that kind of media. Although it wasn't nearly as painful as the hip hop style of Samurai Champloo.
>>157226265
Really I think it's pretty consistant if you look at Higurashi which is my favourite thing ever. To me Higurashi is a mixture of psychological thriller and slice of life about a group of broken people who bottle up their issues so that they can maintain their friendship, the exploration of these character's personalities is done via the use of time loops and unreliable Narrarotors.
By using that information you could figure out that SOL and Psycholigical anime are my favourite genres, that should explain K-on, NHK, Paranoia Agent and Marnie.
Jintai provided me with the closest character to Rika alongside a unique approach to a post-apocalyptic setting combined with a dry sense of humor and satirism. Bakuman on the other hand is the most insperational work I've experianced.
Finally Mirai Nikki and Death Note are mostly their because of Nostalgia from my edgy phase, I don't really think either anime is good.

A question for those people in these threads who like/respect Utena more than Eva: why exactly? I feel the same why but don't really know the reason.
>>
>>157237948
I love both, but I feel that Eva kinda fails in explaining the science fiction side of its narrative, while i consider Utena pretty flawless.
>>
>>157237992
I feel the other way around. In Utena we just kind of have to accept that the settingis the way it is and treat it more as a metaphor. In Eva the world is consistent and functions no matter the themes it wants to convey. Even if we never met Shinji the world would have a very specific story behind it.
>>
>>157237948
They're both among the most visually (through visual direction), emotionally (through characters) and intellectually (through the puzzle narrative) stimulating shows I've seen.

It's a matter of approach.
I can't say I find Utena's themes more personally appealing but it presents them in a more objective manner. Eva never grows beyond it's self-absorbed teenage perspective.
>>
>>157238137
I just think that when it comes to Adam, Lilith, the lance, s2 engines, etc., Eva fails at clearly explaining them, and it's almost impossible to get a full understanding of the show without a trip to evageeks.
I don't disagree with what you said about Utena's setting, but I don't consider the strangeness or specificity of its setting to be a flaw of the show.

Analysis of Eva and it's characters begin and end with the Hedgehog's Dilemma, beyond that it's just a straightforward sci-fi anime. Utena has far more depth on that front. I'd say that EOE is slightly better than Utena though.

If you're tying to say that it's not about the scifi but instead about the emotional arc of the characters then I agree, I just think it doesn't work perfectly in eva. Without looking online outside the show, it's impossible to know what the fuck Kaworu even is, and I think that hurts the show.

That idea of the scifi coming second to the character arc works better in FLCL.

>EOE is slightly better than Utena though
Explain further.

I watched Eva the series in my late teens and while it was well put together I felt that I've outgrown it. Years later I decided to give /a/ at least some credit and try to watch EoE expecting that this time I might gain some sort of enlightenment after having more worldly experience but alas I found it to be completely average.
Is this really such an unusual experience?
>>
>>157248733
You have to have had the same social anxiety as Shinji at one point in your life in order to really "get" EOE. The fact that the film is an attack on people who share or have shared Shinji's mindset is part of the reason why it hits me so hard.
>>
>>157248928
>You have to have had the same social anxiety as Shinji at one point in your life in order to really "get" EOE.
I always have to disagree with that kind of argument. If the storytelling is good, if the direction is good, I don't need to be going through the same as the protagonist to "get" a work. I, for example, have no anxiety and love EoE.
>>
>>157243170
finally someone who doesn't hide his preferences because of silly elitism.
>>
>>157248928
Oh, I have well enough.
That is why I said I felt I've outgrown it. It presents those feelings from a self-centered perspective that is very limiting and juvenile.
But I still remember finiding the series good for what they were so I was surprised to find EoE quite as mediocre as I did.
>>
>>157249323
You've probably been cucked by society bro. You work a 9-5 don't you?

I pray that you get your mental and physical freedoms back.
>>
>>157249216
Get the fuck outta here pleb enabler.
>>
>>157249156
That's true, but a work being relatable or someone associating the it with a memory, makes it personal to that person, meaning that's it's going to elevate that work in that person's eyes.

I, for example, can appreciate EOE's direction and writing like anyone else can, but because I've experienced the anxiety that Shinji has, I can also appreciate it for being frighteningly accurate in how it portrays said anxiety. My personal experience allows me to appreciate something about the film that those without that experience can't to the same degree, which ultimately means I think more highly of the film.

>anything other than rice and miso soup
>>
>>157250059
I don't think being self-absorbed is something to be proud of. To be fair that is not a deep insight I've gained after a lot of reflection so I have no feelings of accomplishment about it.
>>
>>157248928
Different anon, but I too was somewhat underwhelmed by EoE, because I thought 25+26 worked better and the movie itself came across a little disjointed
