>pic related is the only anime that I can bear to watch
How do weeaboo fags and anime nerds actually enjoy anything besides this? No other anime has actually held any sort of legitimate themes or motifs like Akira has. Like 99% of other anime is typically just pow pow, action, and big boobies. Literally no better than those cookie cutter Marvel films.
The most ironic part about it is that one of the main themes of Akira is the bastardization and death of Japanese culture. Guess what? You needn't look further than the rest of the anime genre to see this theme in action.
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
>>84457438
I'm not asking for recommendations, ya tardo. I'm trying to prompt discussion on why people enjoy garbage like anime, and how Akira seems to be the only worthwhile anime (film or otherwise) in existence. I never said anything about shonen, as if I even know what the fuck that is.
Can you not offer up something to the discussion? Try and bring something to the table. Have you ever seen an anime, besides Akira, that had any meaningful themes?
>>84457644
We have better taste then you
Your nothing more than a bitchy little faggot who has no life and no friends.
This is ALL you have. Faking the same arguments every day.
Seriously - you and your fellow parasites are fucking pathetic.
>>84457438
Steins Gate was terrible and has as much potential to turn people AWAY from anime than on it.
>>84458822
This should be a banner.

>why people enjoy garbage like anime
Why do people like garbage live-action movies? And there are plenty of good anime. Get this bait of a thread out of here. If you really hold this opinion you should consider killing yourself.
>>84457299
>just pow pow, action, and big boobies
Wow you literally just described Akira you /v/aggot
>>84459124
>And there are plenty of good anime
>Say anything bad about anime
>Immediately get dogpiled by assdestroyed weebs
So you didn't enjoy any Ghibli films?
>>84457299
What if you were to give this movie to, say, twenty... intelligent people i mean, what would that do? Let's face it what would it do?
>>84457299
You are half right. Most anime is indeed wifu shit, however there are more anime like Akira. It´s just hard to find but it does exist.
I know you are not looking for recomendations but i´ll recomend you some anyways because i think those may suit your taste. Be free to disregard them if you don´t care but i think watching those will prove my point.
- GITS 1 and 2
- Jin Roh (Wolf brigade)
- Angel´s egg (Tenshi no tamago)
- Memories - Magnetic Rose
- Sword of a Stranger
- Kenshin: Trust and Betrayal
- Ninja Scroll or Basilisk
- Baccano
- Jocker´s game
I can't stand most anime. I don't even try to watch any of it since it's so off putting with waifu bullshit.
The only ones I ever cared for were Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Jin-Roh, and that show Planete was breddy gud.
Everything else is objectively shit.

Most of Ghibli is overrated.

And Akira isn't?

>its the reddit spacing /v/ autist in every anime thread
>>84460067
You don't know what reddit spacing is
>>84460105
its a surefire way to detect redditors and make them butthurt when you point it out
>>84460067
kek based /v/ anon
lets hope Bethesda makes a new videogame about it
>>84460132
Right, but normal line breaks aren't "reddit spacing". This post is a better example
>>84457299
I recently watched Akira. I still don't know what happened. It went from silly biker gang shenanigans to some crazy monster shit with his old buddy somehow. I didn't really sense the transition until it had fully changed it up.
>Not watching Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust
>>84457438
>tfw only watched 7 of those in the picOf the ones I didn't watch I've heard of Lain and Hellsing but have no clue what the others are. Where's Robotech, Speed Racer, Battle Royale High School and Wicked City in that image?

i'm the same as you OP, but there are some good ones besides Akira, pic related is pretty nice

>Akira seems to be the only worthwhile anime (film or otherwise) in existence
It seems that way because you're a basic pleb. I bet you haven't even watched 200 animés.
>>84460456
superb taste
>>84457299
i tend to only joy anime films as well.
I just cant get into the series. People on /a/ are always talking about what shows are coming out this season and it just seems like to be a "fan" you have to balance 20 different shows and keep up with each new premiere. Its fucking ridiculous.
>>84457438
But some shit in here, Paprika, Akira, Mononoke, Perfect Blue, and Ghost in the Shell, are really great.
The Berserk movies are ok but all the different tv series (and the evangelion movie) i havent seen.
Angels Egg is also great too.
>>84458822

I've only seen a couple. They definitely have deeper explorations of themes and motifs, so you definitely got me there, but Ghibli films have never been my style. I'll grant you that they're not garbage like the majority of the anime genre, but they've just never been my cup of tea.

>I'm not asking for recommendations

The fact that this thread is still up is proof that we need /film/ now

>>84457299
Ninja Scroll
I used to only like Akira and GitS. Saw Ninja Scroll and it remains the best IMO. Watched another 10 or so anime and was sometimes entertained but quit the genre after too much typical bullshit.
Only things I say you should watch ever at all are Ninja Scroll and Cowboy Beebop. The genre is a bit tedious outside these few gems.
>>84459510
Opinion on Paranoia Agent?
>>84457299
I never understood why Akira is praised so much, the manga is better and there's shit tons of better anime out there. I'm not going to pretend anime is the pinnacle of visual media because I don't think it is, but how many anime have you actually watched OP?
>>84457438
/a/ is like /v/ where they won't accept anyone talking about certain animes and tell you to go back to Rebbit
>>84459510
>- Jocker´s game
This is actually pretentious pseudo intellectual faux jazzy shit.
You must be underaged or have two digit IQ to enjoy it.
One of the reasons anime is so shit is because there are like 60 new shows each season and because of the japanese fanbase. Japanese otaku are a problem, not because they are autistic or cringy (that's something that even people here are guilty of) but because they have the shittiest taste in the world. Like, see how you complain about western SJWs liking anything with "diversity" or strong wymen on it regardless of its actual quality? Well, the japanese will like even the most generic show as long as it has cute girls and maybe some male character for them to self-insert into. That's why empty, boring and generic shit like idol animuhs or the bajillion "japanese guy is transported to a magical medieval world" shows out there are so fucking popular. The japanese will take the same shit over and over again so the people in charge never feel like doing anything new or taking risks and why would they? It's easier to make the same lazy boring shit knowing it's sure to sell.
Is this Kino?

This was so good. Bought the DVD back in 2001 and literally the only anime I own. Still watch it about once a year.
