you can't start it with that pic, the while. point of the read/expected/got thread is to tease people by not posting it. it's like intellectual foreplay.

I don't understand the bottom thing on "expected." Isn't that from Gladiator? Weren't they fighting in Germania in that scene? Why would that be part of the commentary on the Gallic war?

Watamote is a good anime. . . actually. . .

Watamote is the paragon of postmodern anime. Tomoko is the perfect embodiment of the Stirnirian egoist. Tanigawa shows his deep understanding of the human condition with his insightful rendering of Tomoko, but with the added application of Stirner's philosophy (which is deeply ingrained in Tomoko's character). Tanigawa also manages to evenly walk the line between cliche and idiosyncratic without boring the audience or alienating viewers with unknowable novelties.

Watamote has greatly advanced the anime dialectic with its many simple, yet brilliant, critiques of the great structuralist works in the anime genre as well as in art as a whole.

Watamote also manages to capture the essence of not only life in the postmodern world, but also, postmodernism in of itself with its self-referentiality and non-structural portrayal of civic life.

Watamote truly is one of, if not, the greatest anime of the past decade.

So should i watch it?

This thread is really fucking shitty. The best ones of these are those that are funny and understandable even if you haven't read the book (or, since this is /lit/, the Wikipedia page), but of course are even better if you've read it, and yet for this one, I've read Naked Lunch and still have no idea what the fuck you're trying to say here although yes Naked Lunch is a very confusing book

I'm absolutely laughing my ass off at the absurdity of this image. Anyone with even the faintest knowledge of history would know that the "corn" that Caesar speaks of in Commentaries On The Gallic War is not the corn that we in the west are familiar with, but is rather a poor translation for the word "grain" which in Latin is "Frumentum"

Myself and many others who have read the commentaries would know what you're trying to refer to with your image but it's wrong. Unless of course you were already aware of this and you are posting this ironically. In which case I commend you for your post but it's still blatantly wrong. I would have gone with a collage of images of wheat instead.

It's Kant. He wrote to *not* be understood.

>>8716807

That's a lie.

He's the best example of quintessential German writing you will find, though.

With English philosophers/writers, you can't see the wood for the trees. That is, they lay out the particulars of their arguments/points in a lot of detail - to the extent that it's sometimes hard to see their 'whole' argument.

With Kant, by contrast, you can't see the trees for the wood. He presents the 'whole' argument in long, sprawling paragraphs (sometimes pages long) - which means you have to pay a lot of attention to find the particulars.

He wasn't an obscurantist, but he's certainly tough for an English speaker - as opposed to Schopenhauer who tried to emulate the clarity of British thinkers like Hume.

why your shitty OC is shitty:

>as stated by other posters, you used way too many pictures, and none of the pictures you used are effective at conveying meaning
>you used pedo bear, twice. everyone who visits this board knows lolita is about a pedophile. it is redundant to point out that fact in two panels, especially with such a clumsy image as pedobear, (which holds too much comedic symbolism in itself to lend any new humor to your "OC", and only highlights how unoriginal and unfunny your content is on its own).
>the text you used in your panels was incredibly ineffective. compare a read/expected/got image to a cake. people want icing, but there should be a lot more cake. In your expected panel, the only textless picture in it was pedobear, which we discussed already. in your got panel, you have 3 textless images, one of which is also pedobear. one is an image that references a plotpoint. the other being a meme-type image that has zero meaning in the context of the book you're referring to. I have no idea how you chose the text, but it was completely useless. When people talk about writing, they often say "show, don't tell." Instead of telling us what you expected and got, you need to show us.
>your expected/got panels are organized terribly. there is no punchline. there is nothing to guide the viewer. just a bunch of sloppy shit. you could rearrange both panels completely and it wouldn't change the meaning of the current image. as of now, you expected a book about a pedophile having sex with an underaged girl. you got a "road trip", sex, and a pedofile, and someone fapping. it seems that you got just what you expected.
>it's sort of like if i asked you what you did today and you said "i woke up, went to school, ate dinner, and slept." you've just summarized a few events, but you have not said anything about those actual events or their flavor.
>you commented on your own post to get it more attention, when people were probably just politely ignoring it because they felt sorry for you, and then you attacked the people who gave you feedback.

feel free to browse the other images in the thread and see how other people have made effective expected/got pictures.
