What is it about Serial Experiments Lain, Welcome To The NHK,

>>38885377
They are enjoyable shows that resonate with a large number of people because they address psychological problems, which many people on this board have.

>>38885573
fuck off weeb
weeb holocaust when?

>>38885619
Weebs haven't existed in years and were probably never numerous to begin with.

If anime reaction images bother you, you clearly haven't been here very long, because they are posted on nearly every single board.

It's newfags trying to look like oldfags by using oldfag reaction images from 2004

>>38885377
Because not only were they excellent shows but they carried a relatable message you autist. Was a new thread really needed to figure this out?

>>38885654
kill yourself fucking weeb nigger

>>38885654
This. even on the board relating to fucking horses. They even have anime reaction images that are redrawn with horses.

Lain and eva are some of the most influential and iconic shows of the medium

>>38885700
it really is tho

>>38885676
My grandfather had a saying:

>"If you don't want someone to get your goat, don't let them know where it's tied."

Whenever someone flips shrimp over animeposters, it is guaranteed an entire flock of them will barrage the thread with smug pictures of anime girls. Telling them to kill themselves won't work, as they'll end up doing it anyways.

The only winning move is not to play. Just filter anime image filenames. After a few months of this I've gotten most of them.

>>38885753
I've never seen any indication that Lain was influential or iconic.

>>38885787
Have you ever tried the much simpler solution of not coming to 4chan?

>>38885787
Hahaha you're incredibly insecure and pathetic.
It's site culture. Deal with it or fuck off. Simple. Don't be a child.

>>38885700
That's the only excellent show listed by OP

>>38885788
Lain is both in a cult classic sense

>>38885825
>>38885856
>w-w-w-why are you filtering my anime images?!
>PLEASE LOOK AT MY SMUG ANIME POSTS!!!!!

"No!"

Your site culture is nothing. I will filter every single anime image I can until I can spend an entire day on any given board without seeing one.

>>38885865
It needs more than cult popularity to be influential and iconic.

>>38885879
I didn't post any images, and again if you are so butthurt by anime images why don't you just leave? This is an anime site.

Just classic and well known shows I'd say, there's plenty of k-on, haruhi and others out there too.

>>38885788

It's a vague claim, dunno which of them came first here but I guess it could have influenced Boogiepop Phantom and Texhnolyze to some degree and maybe one could argue that certain scenes in other shows are influenced by it but it's probably nothing the producers will have said. But certainly I'd say it's among the "big anime classics".

>>38886073
NGE is 10x bigger than any other classics mentioned in this thread, and was made in 1995, a few years before Lain. I would argue NGE was the show to cause a large shift in how anime was produced. Tons of late 90s stuff starts getting more experimental and psychological in nature.

>>38886073
Texhnolyze had the same writer and character designer as Lain.

Lain has cult popularity but I've never seen any evidence that it goes beyond that. Shows like Sailor Moon, Evangelion and Gundam are the big anime classics and Lain isn't anywhere near that league.

>>38885377
https://systemspace.link/index.php

People cling on to things that produce feelings/thoughts that are existential, giving them more meaning than there was to begin with.

>>38886231
As a reaction image, Lain is posted quite a bit actually. I agree with >>38886190
that Lain is a cult show, not a massive franchise, but 4chan is still in some ways a niche site (politics aside) so it actually seems pretty huge here.

>>38885649
Nowadays "weeb" just refers to an anime fan, whereas the original definition was someone who thought Japanese culture was superior and adopted it as a lifestyle. He is correct in saying there are very few weebs.

>>38886344
Sure, if you think it's somehow funny that weebs don't exist anymore.

>>38886363
4chan wasn't made for weebs, and even if it had it doesn't change what I said.

>>38886417
You just proved my point. True weebs have contained themselves to single threads on each board, while anime fans encompass all of 4chan as well as normalfag reddit and crunchyroll users. Weebs are probably 1% of people that watch anime.

>>38886401
>>38885619
4chan was formed from some somethingalfuw forum regrets to talk about anime

Well, I'm not going to disagree that NGE is more well known. Pretty sure there are essays to find out there with people speculating in what impact NGE had on the industry. Recall some pretty bleak thing titled Brain Powerd coming out in the waves after NGE back in the days. The concept NGE uses I'm sure dates much further back as well, why NGE in particular had the sort of impact it did I'm not sure though.

>>38886190
I think Boogiepop had the same as well. I guess there are degrees of how much a "classic" a show is. Anyone who isn't particularly into anime will probably not know of Lain, last person of that sort I spoke to had never heard of NGE either, the knew of Akira, Gundam, Pokemon, Ghost in the Shell, Cowboy Bebop, Sailor Moon though.

>>38886401
>4chan wasn't made for weebs, and even if it had it doesn't change what I said.
>Also stop samefagging or at least try to be subtle about it.

You both probably have different definitions of weebs. Many people on this site seems to have an interest in japanese culture whether all of them are knee deep into the shinto shrines, ancient tombs, buddhist temples, arms and armor, castles and famous gardens, kabuki and noh theatre, tea ceremony and ikebana, martial arts and sumo wrestling etc. or maybe just some of it I dunno, plenty of greyzone there.

>>38886842
The comment you just replied to here is a typical example, he says you're "low effect baiting" which probably means that your dead serious and "factual" (protip the stuff you've claimed as "factually correct" probably hasn't been statistically or scientifically secured in any way) responses are in a way provokative.
He on the other hand seem to interpret you as anti-anime in a sense, which you're probably not. But whatever. Surely there must be something more fun we could talk about.
