I'm starting to think all the people praising this as a "unique coming of age story" have no fucking clue what any of those words even mean.
I think I know why fans are convinced that this show is complex - the idea that they so thoroughly wasted 2 hours of their life on something with absolutely no purpose is disconcerting, so they fabricate some "deeper meaning" for the show when in reality, there isn't one. Or, at the very least, there isn't one that can be attained without grasping at straws.

The main appeal is that its one of the most visually entertaining anime ever made
>>161452327
It's unique because of it's animation alone
It's a well done coming of age story because of the directing with the characters, not because of some "deeper" meaning.

Right, sure, but that's not the praise I was talking about.
Practically everyone creams their pants over 'muh symbolism' but it means fucking nothing

>practically everyone
What does this even mean? Have you ever considered not everybody sees the world through the same lens of faggotry as you? I have hardly seen people refer to FLCL's crowning achievement being 'symbolism.'

What is One Piece?

Even if that were the case, that doesn't mean that animation isn't still important.

One giant piece of shit that has neither
