>watch a promising looking philosophy anime >it's

I did De Sartre's No Exit for my high school Drama practical piece. I was Garcin.

Well, okay, I guess. Can I watch?

forgot to turn off the name field, I don't actually plan to tripfag

Are you asking for philosophical/intellectual anime that isn't all about existentialism?

There are good manga and novels that never got adapted, but if you insist on anime you could try Hyouge Mono, Shinsekai Yori, Shigurui (the manga is still preferable), Texhnolyze, even Mushishi
Of course if you liked Yurikuma you could check out Mawaru Penguindrum.

>that isn't all about existentialism?
Kinda yeah, it might be that I just have a bad habit of translating all existentialism into Sartre.

>Mushishi
Oh fuck, I got told to watch this ages ago and never did. Thanks anon.

>if you insist on anime
I don't really

Well shit, if we include manga you have a lifetime of reading to look forward to. Here are some.

More centered on personal drama:
- Inio Asano (Oyasumi Punpun, Solanin, Nijigahara Holograph etc)
- Minoru Furuya (Ciguatera, Himizu, Boku to Issho)
- Kyoko Okazaki (Helter Skelter, River's Edge)
- Hideki Arai (Kiichi!!, The World Is Mine)
- Various: half the popular jousei and seinen out there really

More light-hearted and bizarre, usually critical:
- Jiro Matsumoto (Kakumeika no Gogo, Netsutai no Citron, Yuretsuzukeru, Zenryou Naru Itan no Machi)
- Eiji Otsuka (Leviathan, Kurosagi Shitai Takuhaibin)
- Hideo Yamamoto (Koroshiya 1, Homunculus)
- Usamaru Furuya (Litchi Hikari Club, Short Cuts, Palepoli)
- Shintarou Kago (Just pick one)
- Dowman Sayman (Voynich Hotel, Nickelodeon)
- Various: Dainippon Tengutou Ekotoba, Kokumin Quiz, Soil

Tries too hard but it works:
- Suehiro Maruo (any)
- Nishioka Kyoudai (Kokoro no Kanashimi, Kami no Kodomo, Kono Yo no Owari e no Tabi)
- Various: Comics Underground Japan, Copernicus no Kokyuu, Ningen Konchuuki, K no Souretsu, Ubume no Natsu, Innocent

I should have added another category for scifi and cyberpunk but I'm not that fond of them and there would be a huge quality gap.

Are there any Cute Girls Doing Cute Things anime with philosophy themes

>>2945812
There's a manga that teaches the basics of Western Philosophy using cute anime girls to represent the philosophers, if my memory serves correctly.

>>2944512
>Texhnolyze

Pleb detected. Haibane Renmei is objectively ABe's best work

Royal Space Force is objectively the best anime, if you want philosophical content.

>>2946077
That might be true but it's on my backlog so it would be irresponsible to rec it.

>>2946034
do you remember the name

>>2946090
How can one man be so right?

Good taste.

What? I'm OP and I thought Lain was better. I'll admit HR was a little more cleanly put together, but thats because the first half of the show was almost pure worldbuilding and because the show as a whole was a lot less ambitious.
