Mature anime

Everything else by Satoshi Kon and films by Katsuhiro Otomo

>without anything lewd or comedy, but not edgy violence

This is the problem with 99% of anime from what I've seen. They can never do anything 'serious', it's all edgy over the top cheesy shit.

Studio ghibli films are mostly great and don't fit your criteria, though you may not like them if you don't like 'comfy' films.

>>78869205
I watched most of ghibli films and most of them were great, but this time I would like something darker like thriller or mystery.

>>78869274
Paprika is good from what I remember. Angels egg is dark as fuck but kind of pointless, it's only an hour long though and the visuals are really good. I'm struggling to think of anything else

Tokyo Godfathers

The rest of Satoshi Kon's films

Why the fuck would you stick to anime just because of one film? I liked Repulsion, and Possession; similar themes to Perfect Blue, but not shit. Anime is for dweebs.

Fags keep arguing anime is just a medium and not a genre but all of them do this bullshit and then wonder why grown-ups cringe at it

>>78869153
Jin-roh

>>78869488
it is a medium and then it has genres since it's usually adaptations of manga, which themselves can be novels, periodicals, comedy panels etc the same as films fall into the genres determined by their source material which might be a screenplay or a book.

>>78869153

Paprika i guess.

fun fact: entry-level trash for plebs > moe shit for wnb "otaku" menchildren

I love Mamoru Oshii's stuff. GITS of course but Patlabor, Jin Roh and Sky Crawlers

>>78869866

Jin Roh wasn't directed by him. That's why is a good movie not like his other straw dogs films in live action which are utter shit.

>>78869304
Chill out man damn, you can go one at a time you know that

tf

Should Satoshi Kon rank among the best directors regardless of medium?

>>78869945
No.

>>78869895
It was written by him. THough I think you're being unnecessarily harsh, the straw dog films are his best live action work (with Avalon), they're inferior to his animated work but hardly shit

>>78869945
Yes.

Bobby's In Deep

its a pretty simple story but it's heavy on the atmosphere and has great visuals

>>78869153
Voices of a Distant Star is pretty good. It has mechs in it but that's not the main focus of the movie. It's short as well. You can find it on YouTube.

You mean Magnetic Rose, which is indeed a masterpiece.
Because Stink Bomb was fucking shit after the first 10 minutes. At least Cannon Fodder was decent enough to make me forget that pile of garbage.

>>78870318

Reminder the rise of /v/edditors coming over to /tv/ as a result of Bane memes has led to a shift in taste on /tv/

99% of the anime threads here are made by /v/edditors who only watch LE EPIC MANIME shonen trash and are too scared to post on /a/ because no one wants to talk about the same 5 old classic anime that only entry level newfaggots know about. Then they cry about /a/ having shit taste and proceed to buy their next avengers movie ticket.

/a/ has actually done a fantastic job at keeping out you /v/eddit scum and so all you faggots come crying here because no one wanted to accommodate your newfaggotry.

Also you all treat /tv/ as a place to ask for recommendations when >>>/wsr/ was made to deal with garbage threads like these that aren't actually discussing anything. This thread should be deleted but since /tv/ mods are garbage it won't be.

4chan as a whole has changed a lot since 2012, there's been a big influx of users from reddit, that's not unique to /tv/ or even baneposting. i'm a 2006 4chan user and i only use reddit for finding specific types of porn

the baneposting that we know now didn't even kick off until 2014. and the whole not unique to /tv/ thing is an understatement. this board had much more waifufaggotry than /a/ and was much more elitist than them and even what people believe of /lit/

Watamote needs to be added to that image.

Since they have not been mentioned yet, Shin Sekai Yori and Utena.

I'd also recommend Aoi Bungaku for its Osamu Dazai adaptations (No Longer Human and Run, Melos).

I liked Grimgar. Great character driven and grounded version of the "world revival" genre.

I can't stand the JoJo anime. It really feels like a series that works way better in manga.

Vagabond movie series by Madhouse when?
