Don't we have enough contrarian threads as is?
>>14900162
not really. only /a/ likes it
>>14900173
It's not contrarian if it's the truth.
Yeah, overall it's not that great, but the mechanical designs are absolutely beautiful. Isn't that what /m/ is all about?
>>14900199
That's a contradiction. Being a contrarian is rejecting the popular opinion. A show that is overrated, is a show that is highly rated by the majority beyond the rating it merits. It's literally a popular show that happens to be shitty. Therefore, calling something overrated is also being a contrarian, because it's rejecting the popular opinion.
I consider pretty awesome compared to the rest.
Opinion not limited to Oshii's adaptation, include manga & SAC. No opinion on the "prequel" Arise, I didn't see it yet but it didn't look like a good idea.
>>14900263
Arise, with the additional episodes, and the movie are definitely looking at yourself if you haven't --other than the character designs, which are...pretty bad.
A lotta people seem to dislike it, but it's a really tight script with some good commentary on cyberization and the like.
Also, other than her design, the Major is tip top.
>inb4 hurr she was incompetent
Since when was relying on and working with a crack team incompetent? She still solves all the cases and uses her very wide range of skills to make the difference. Oh did I mention teamwork? It has teamwork.
You like teamwork.
Also, it's not a prequel to S.A.C. or '95, there are just some visual nods to previous scenes from prior installments. Her origin and some story beats in Arise are just irreconcilable with the other works. So rejoice! it is in fact "not muh".

Why does overrated have to equal garbage? Sure it's overhyped by American critics, but it's still a good movie.
>>14900290
Sound worth watching, I have to admit it's the character design that look counter to what I like of GitS. As if they tried to jump the shark and fell in
As if you took "Real Drive" and made all cyberspace as trippy
>>14900384
Yeah, I think you'll enjoy it if you give it an open mind.
>Meal Drive
Kek.

Barely related, but how is the movie seen in Japan these days? I know it wasnt very successful over there at first.
Any gundam show ever
>>14900162
Overated compered to the original manga, but still good neintheless
This
>>14900734
Including AGE, IBO and BFT?

Fuck off Getterfag
The Major is NOT overrated garbage! she's a very cute girl who deserves every bit of appreciation she gets, even if she's kind of irresponsible, hotheaded, gullible, dishonest, bad-tempered, violent, obsessive, short-sighted, alcoholic, perverted, unruly, bossy, self-righteous, untrustworthy and not as great as Deunan.
She's still our little scruffball and that's already amazing.

I like this post.
Gundam 00 for sure, it's so goddamn preachy even by Gundam standards.It's mecha designs are shit too, even if the actual level of animation is good.

>00 s1
>preachy
>>14900162
Every negative opinion I've ever seen posted on here is hyperbolic garbage that gets a free pass just for being edgy and contrarian.
>>14906338
If you honestly thought 00 was preachy you must subconsciously be projecting your own opinions onto the staff because if you actually WATCHED the damn show Celestial Being was deliberately portrayed as terrorists & antagonists.
You have your head so far up your own ass you think everyone who disagrees with you is preaching to you.

>>14906551
that's a very negative, hyperbolic, edgy and contrarian opinion
but it won't get a pass from me
cause it's wrong
The GitS movie is definitely overrated.
But it's not garbage.
>>14906597
It's not negative - it's a neutral opinion based on observable fact. The only hyperbolic part was 'every.' I don't know what you interpreted as 'edgy' in my post but I'm assuming you took personal offense to it as a shitposter.
Hell, my opinion wasn't contrarian in the slightest. If anything, it's the opposite considering how nobody around here likes shitposters.
>>14906597
>literally NO U
Holy shit way to prove his point
>>14900162
Shitposting in general.
/thread.
fortunately, /m/ is one of the few places where Oshii's retardation DOESN'T get a pass.
>>14906621
Are you kidding? Patlabor is well received here and Oshii directs all of it.
>>14906687
You say that like it's a bad thing. Oh no, how dare we enjoy something that was touched by someone some guy doesn't like! What a crime!
>>14906687
Not all of Patlabor is Oshii's retardation.
some of it is Oshii's good work
>>14906687
>and Oshii directs all of it
He didn't direct the TV series
Hell I thought /m/ was the only place where people typically are referring to the TV series unless stated otherwise when talking about Patlabor
>>14906338
>00 is preachy
Occasionally heavy-handed in what it's trying to say perhaps, but I wouldn't call it preachy

>Hell I thought /m/ was the only place where people typically are referring to the TV series unless stated otherwise when talking about Patlabor
Weird, I always assumed the opposite.
What if everyone on this board just reported shitposting instead of responding to it?
Just imagine.
