This is the only anime worth watching, right?

its pretty good, but if you dont like anime in general i dont think you will like this either

Rose of Versailles is a must see, my dear friend.

Gurren Lagann
City Hunter
Zoids

Samurai Champloo and Cowboy Bebop are incredible

I bet that one guy is gonna start a GOP debate thread because of this thread

None as even the so-called "great" series do not so much as graze the aesthetic and philosophical heights of cinema and literature. It's a trash genre made for East Asian teenagers and white manchildren with short attention spans, don't waste your time anyone still wondering.

Ghibli. Don't bother with anime series. They are not worth your time.

The best is a series called Shinsekai Yori

>>63684442
Not exactly, but this certainly is THE anime that revived the industry in the 90s and made it what it is today.

There's also Utena. And there's tons of series that are actually fun enough to be "worth watching". With "fun" being a very broad term, some of those are tearjerkers and psychological thrillers.

IGNORE THIS, Bullshit fucking lies.
The mythos are intact perfectly fine, characters are made just a bit more likable, they switch focusing on one character to a different one who was less developed in the original series.
Incredible action and animation.
2.0 has one of the greatest endings in cenima history.
3.0 is just fucking devastating.

I see very little evidence of this in 2.0 and 3.0.

There was so with Rei, and that is kinda the point with NGE is that the characters can't or don't overcome their flaws that that leads to their inevitable doom.

Here is the thing...
I had no problem with the rape scenes.
(DESU I found them damn sexy)
And to be fair with her being a demon the acts seem less about phyisical harm than it is just about humiliating her.
But I honestly saw it less as offensive and more it showing the resilience of this woman to endure this shit and still be strong at the end and be able to be a key part of the defeat of the villain.

What I did find offensive was the lead males humor at her being raped "personally I enjoy the bare assed loom but in this case I'll make a exception"
I just wanna bitch slap the fucker after that.

Is not funny, it has an absurd teen drama, is not "epic", doesn't have enough technical/mechanical lewdness, is full of jew symbolisms, not many things are explained and somehow is the most "favourited" anime in /a/.

Why did everything had to turn so bad? Is /a/ really full of parentless virgins?

And the fact not many things are explained is one of the parts which make it so great - Shinji is the MC and has no clue what the fuck is going on, yet the anime goes to great lengths to subtly hint at what´s actually happening. You just have to overanalyze the shit out of it, but it´s all there.

>>63684442
Skip it and watch Cowboy Bepop instead

I thought the beginning was promising but ended up pretty disappointed outside of a few moments in End of Evangelion. I guess I went into it expecting something like a great book and that's the problem.

Is there an EoE cut that replaces the playground Intrumentality garbage with the TV version? EoE does an amazing job of portraying 3rd Impact, but Instrumentality was pretty much perfect in 25 and 26.

Also, so fucking hyped for my 3.33 BR to get here. Is it possible to love both the original and Rebuild the same amount around here, or do I have to choose?

>>63685719

Fuck the noise. Let's talk about whether or not this shit is the so incredibly obvious sequel that it is.

Shinji is a bitch.

Fuck Evangelion.

>>63687990

There are none. The only thing that could be said about it is that certain parts of Evangelion have been done better since, but that undermines the fact that it was the only one that put together this particular blend.

There were predecessors to Evangelion. But the combination of all elements together is what makes it work. (And not work, sometimes.)

>>63689312

How to spot the retard. The bombastic mess that was episodes 25 and 26 over the more subtle EoE scene.

>>63689514

Episodes 25 and 26 are charming in a weird, arthouse flick kind of way. The problem is that by the time you get to then, you've already had so much of that shit with the "train scenes" that you're kind of tired of them.

>>63689514
>bombastic
>literally the antithesis of the word with line drawings, concepts, and long moments of silence
Either you have no idea what that word means of you never watched the TV series.

The only flaw with 25 and 26 (aside from glossing over Impact with a scene or two with Gendo and dead Ritsuko) was "Congratulations."

>>63689634
>The only flaw with 25 and 26

The tedious retread of characters' problems and elaboration of basic existentialist beliefs with absolutely none of the prior subtlety present at all, and the heavy handed spelling out what the show was about.

>>63689921
You realize a thesis is supposed to review and summarize the overall point, correct? I assume you preferred the bombastic (see how I used it there), apocalyptic robot fight of EoE since you didn't really have to think about it as a character study, which the rest of the series was, right?

EoE was a visual marvel, but only works with the Instrumentality presented in 25/26. On its own, it truly is Anno spitting in the fans' eye by removing the core concept of personal identity and purpose the entirety of the rest of the series concerned itself with.

By the same token, 25/26 is strengthened by the physical reality of EoE, but can exist - as a series and work as a whole - without it, unlike EoE without 25/26.

I'm not a big anime fan but I thought Death Note was breddy gud. At least season 1.

>>63690272
Except 25/26 suck as an ending without EoE. It doesn't explain what lead up to instrumentality it just glosses over it. It doesn't explain what happened in the real world. There's nothing wrong with liking both 25/26 and EoE, you don't have to pick one or the other.

>>63687990
Is that because you're blind, retarded, a fanboy or all 3?

The first 1/3 of Evangelion moves at a crawl and is an absolute bore to get through and the last two episodes are some of the worst shit to ever be made

>you just don't le get it

>>63690498

>>63690272
>bombastic

It was a reference to the script and made clear by my contentions with it. Keep harping on it, though.

>you didn't really have to think about it as a character study

Except Evangelion already elaborated on nearly everything in the finale. You apparently needed exposition with the subtlety of an atomic bomb to think about it as a character study or pinpoint the themes of the show

>You realize a thesis is supposed to review and summarize the overall point, correct?

Eva did a poor job at it.

>>63684442
If Star Wars was all I had access to as a child in terms of sci-fi I probably would become one of those crazy fanboys, but thankfully I had access to anime from very early on in my youth years that my mental balance is very stable.

Seriously, if you have watched Akira, you'd realize just how sophisticated anime is and it blows away anything Star Wars would have to offer.

A lot of people mention Ghost In The Shell, which has just enough of sexuality in the mix to draw in the western audience I suppose but I must say that Ghost In The Shell is not even in my top 10 anime, not even close, that's just how deep the world of anime is.

Some anime is so disturbingly mature like Fractale that I wish it would challenge the system and submit it as a Drama category in the Oscars just to bitchslap the snotty Academy.

It's not just the level of maturity and sophistication anime has, it's also quite original, entertaining, and visually fantastic. I would regard anime as the highest form of cinema art-form.

But hey, me preaching about anime won't do you any good, you gotta go out and see it for yourself just how much you are missing.

The recent one I would recommend to check out is Sword Art Online which is light and easy to get into anime for the first time yet appreciate it as much, but if you want the heavy stuff right off the line check out Guilty Crown in which the plot is so complex and twisted that you'll need extra oxygen pumped into your brain in order to comprehend everything, and if you want amazing visuals and a gripping drama that also has awesome mecha battles Aldnoah.Zero is the shit.

Seriously, if you know anime like I do, Star Wars looks like it's something for little kids.

Yes, you seem to like anime, so you'l probably like it.

Being more critical of anime (not that I have watched too much), I find both NGE and GitS to be extremely lacking for being so critically acclaimed, GitS being a direct rip-off of the plot in Blade Runner with a sexuality twist.

Of the critically acclaimed "mainstream" anime films, I find Princess Mononoke to be far more impressive visually.

Anime was good when it was inspired by Western fiction. It seems like nowadays the otaku culture exists without any outside influences.
