Is there such a thing as an anime "too smart"

Phantom World was picking apart terrible writing and showing the audience why it doesn't work. Phantom World is genius and the greatest deconstructive work of the decade.

>Is there such a thing as an anime "too smart" for it's own good?
Yes

Just look at the amount of morons who didn't understand Phantom World, Kiznaiver or Flip Flappers

It's because you chose to not engage with the show that you claim the writing is bad and can't even bring to mind all the visual storytelling that goes on at every frame. Phantom World is a production that undercuts a dialectic between the theatrical and mundane. The main thematic motif of the show is an Evangelion-esque study of relationships and empathy depicting subjective experience above all else, perhaps the reason for the Bach music parallel. It uses abstract Shinbo-esque colors, paper cutouts, experimental angle shots, spatial layout designs, meticulous character acting and long lasting continuity of quirks to establish consistence of performance, framing motion specifically tied to the edge of the frame and BGs to elucidate its fullness of vision of space. One shot of Mai's bedroom had more visual storytelling and characterization than the entirety of the Haruhi series.

Eureka Seven AO.

Remember how people spammed the limbo part and then it ended up being shit

Kyoanifags are easily impressed imbred subhumans, more news at eleven.

I just realized I must have missed tons of daily Phantom World threads n the past couple of weeks because I haven't browsed much.
In all seriousness though, Phantom World wasn't bad by any measure, it was at worst average, and that's a very hard "at worst".
