Woop read that wrong. Read it as "anime we were too smart for"
I failed to make a case for such in this instance,however so I suppose it's now right up my alley.

is there any fugg in the series, at all?

They don't, unfortunately. Their relationship was one of the only good parts of the show, though.

Ahahaha I get it. It's because NTR is the thinking man's fetish.

This show was a textbook example of how just being full of references to complex topics doesn't make the show smart because it doesn't engage with them.
Like it will have characters named after Derrida but there's no exploration of or engagement with his ideas.
It's a shame because the show had great designs (and I love goth chicks), but it was so surface-level about everything.
>>160334947
Convoluted and pretentious =/= smart
Mayoiga, the ingenious intentional comedy went over many /a/non's heads.

How about Lain?

I think about this voice clip at least once a week. That, and the phrase "Bonar Grand Prix."
>>160334947
I dropped this after one episode, characters animated like robots
>>160335525
I think Lain doesn't just toss out references, it actually explores the concepts it brings up, though in admittedly a very esoteric way.
it was fun to mentally piece together the monogatari timeline

Mari Okada a shit
>>160334146
both are shit tier, the woman just angsts"i dont care about myself" yea fuck off everyone who watches this is loner and would say the same thing and next they would be completely fine. not as pretending to be fine, but fine fine, that they do actually care about themselves but sex and comfort of another human is what they still want and on that department they need affection so "i dont care about myself" is to say to another they can do almost anything sexual to them, which of course depends if its a good or bad thing to say, its bad if the other is not in the correct mood.
Go ahead and explain the final episode. I'll wait.
>>160337857
I could barely make it through the first episode. The fact that there are people who've seen the whole thing is kind of astounding to me, really.
>>160338010
There's no point to watching it if you don't watch the last episode.
Every fucking show is too intelligent for the average /a/ user. Let's not forget the plethora of people who routinely fail to understand what happens in 12 page weekly manga aimed towards children

literally everything is too smart for /a/ or 4chan in general, so i guess you're right, just don't think your favorite cartoon is actually intelligent.

(銀河鉄道の夜 Ginga Tetsudō no Yoru was pretty smart.
>>160327381
Just finished watching it. I don't know why people would consider it "smart" or "dumb". It's a drama. The characters in it are intentionally retarded, because if they were smart, well-adjusted adults, there wouldn't be any drama. That's the entire point.
The characters all have their weird philosophies and shit, but that doesn't mean the creators or the anime are smart. The philosophies are all always basic nihilism or Weird Nonsensical Shit because they are supposed to be flimsy and easy to refute. It highlights the fact that the main characters are just fucking retards with communication issues or something personal holding them back.
Like if a character goes "man MC-kun i really like you why don't you love me back etc etc" and the MC doesn't answer, that's not supposed to show "wow that chick just owned the MC", it's supposed to show "wow the MC doesn't know how to handle this what a maladjusted person".
Just because a show deals with the same complex philosophical themes as Evangelion doesn't mean it's trying as hard to be smart as it.
>>160327381
You know it to be true.
>>160336174
what the fuck even happened to /co/ man, it's not the biggest tragedies considering how much western animation sucks but goddamn
>>160327457
Also, this was way too deep for /a/, but people watched this just to feel smart or because it was "realistic" and it just made people who weren't into masochism feel like shit
also almost every /m/ show is too deep for /a/
>>160327381
>>160345188
>what the fuck even happened to /co/ man
Unironically tumblr. I'm actually amazed that /a/ can still have loli threads fairly regularly while /co/ would outright delete a thread of similar subject matter just for containing the word "loli".

>Like it will have characters named after Derrida but there's no exploration of or engagement with his ideas.
Anime does that shit all the time. Cute lolis named after mythological beings and name-dropping historical figures to sound cool.
I think people give Ergo Proxy shit a lot of the time because they're expecting it to fully explore every idea it references. I think it's no more than a character study. A journey of self-discovery. Episode 11 encapsulates Ergo Proxy's themes pretty well imo. It definitely has flaws, but I always see people criticize it for expecting it to be something its not.
Pic related. Like how people criticize Evangelion for being pretentious and pseudo-deep when the shit they're criticizing isn't even the point of the show. It's about Shinji's journey.
I compare Ergo Proxy to NGE a lot. I think they're very similar in many ways.

/v/edditors can criticize eva all they want but it doesn't change the fact it was one of the few shows which made "deep" stuff sound natural. that's a hallmark of quality

Re:zero
>>160327381
Dropped Kiznaiver 3 episodes in because it was too tropey and pretentious for me and the characters were boring, one-dimensional over-reactors.
Does it radically change after those first 3 episodes or does /a/ just have really shit taste?
>>160334368
>>160335005
>>160335364
You could remove everything but the first and last two episodes of this show and absolutely nothing would change.
>>160327381
>>160354736
Nah, but it was indeed too difficult for /a/utists here since we had to explain how characters get to love each other step by step because they were whining "It was out of nowhere!"
