Why did surrealism in anime television die?

>>159133219
They couldnt handle it.

I don't know what you think surrealism is, but your image certainly isn't.

Is Lain watching us right now?

>>159133219
I wouldn't call Lain surrealist.

>>159133219
Lain could still be good without all that convoluted shit

It didn't

>>159133219
Because it's not art, and that anime is about nothing.

Let's all love Lain!

Texhnolyze > Lain

texhnolyze could have been amazing if it was half as long. The pacing was pretty awful.

>>159136717
Kino >>>>>>>> all

>>159133219
>surrealism
More like pretentiousness.

I never got why people like Kino so much.
It even has a stupid tournament arc.

>>159137053
>stupid tournament arc
Literally the greatest tournament arc of all time.

>>159135001
There he is. There he goes again. Of course, everything is "moe" fault, this demented homosexual will start telling us moe raped his whole family and pissed on their corpse too.

>>159137067
Why? Unless you are being ironic. It was obvious Kino was going to win with her Mary Sue super power skills.

>>159136999
>The pacing was pretty awful.
You just have to take it slowly. They even intentionally made it slower, even though they knew many would be annoyed by it.

>>159137173
the pacing almost killed my interest multiple times. I'm glad I stuck with it by the end but I dunno. I understand it's the "point" but the world also was too damn grey and monotone. If the characters were more interesting it would have been fine but they weren't really.

>>159137172
What, did you not watch the same tournament arc as me? Did you completely forget the other characters involved?

>>159137172
Kino was literally kino

>>159137332
probably, I remember being very bored. Maybe she didn't win? I dunno.
I have a feeling she let the last guy win for money for his village or some shit.

How can you criticize something you don't even remember. More importantly, how were you not on the edge of your seat watching that arc? Such a satisfying finish too.

>>159137479
because I thought it was garbage
I will try rewatching the show, I'm a lot less hypercritical than I used to be.

I can't speak for an entire nation but I feel like Japan doesn't really like or appreciate subtlety

Remember to so praise Lain, my daughter.

>>159137568
wrong
this is true for all normies.
except in rare cases almost all standard media tv video game or movies or whatever the masses love shit that spells it out for you.

>>159137608
as long as you grant me her hand in marriage

Don't know but Lain is dumb as hell, is liking it a meme?

This series is a masterpiece on how to take ~40-60 minutes of actual content/ideas and spread it over 13 episodes. Lain would be better as a standalone movie.

What are tea ceremonies for then?

modesty and tradition

Depends, anon, do you promise to only perform missionary sex when you want to get lewd with her; do you promise to love her forever; do you promise to never make her sad; do you promise to be the best damn husband you can be?
