favorite ep was this for me. the music just took it to another level, the "2deep4me" vibes didn't even come off that cheesy. 23 hanashi is just such a good song

Reminder that all anime are shallow pieces of shits that have less depth than the worst television shows like Iron Fist. If Japan was nuked tomorrow, nothing of value would be lost.

>>86709737
Kek, this. I rewinded the scene and even changed the settings to see if it was Spikes or Vicious' blood that dropped

Asteroid Blues is my absolute favorite. A perfect intro to the series.

Watanabe kept the possibility open for a sequel from the beginning. It's a good thing the sequel to Cowboy Bebop was really Space Dandy. Because that's the last thing Cowboy bebop needs: season 2.

Space Dandy is practically confirmed for taking place hundreds of years later than Cowboy Bebop. Both universes use the same currency and the "Fridge Monster" from the Cowboy Bebop episode "Toys in the attic" reappears in the Space Dandy Episode "The Lonely Pooch Planet, Baby."

Shamploo would be a spiritual successor. Like the System Shock to Bioshock series. Dandy would be the proper sequel.

No, he just narrowly avoids death like he does frequently in the series. Gets shot with a tranquilizing dart, jumps through space without a suit, etc. I wonder if he does it exactly 9 times, given the cat monologue in the last episode.

Does anyone realize how many subtle foreshadowing moments and parallels there are in this show?

Like the first episode loops back on the final. The fugitive and his girl friend are trying to escape their past. She realizes they will never make it out alive. Same thing happens with Spike and Julia. When she kills her boyfriend, the camera zooms in on Spike's eye. He feels woken up in that moment, just like when they kill Julia.

In Sympathy for the Devil, the old man kid says he feels like a weight has finally been lifted off of him and asks spike if he understands. Spike doesn't, but eventually he does and the ending of the show is "you're gonna carry that weight".

This show is truly a masterpiece

What an ignorant fucking mindset. Why is it anime for people that don't like anime? Anime is a huge medium with many target audiences.

Is everything western that you like TV for people that hate TV?

>>86712627
Clannad After Story (very dramatic slice of life story)

Mushishi (very chill episodic stories about japanese mysticism in the hills of japan)

Mononoke (really trippy experimental style short series that looks like moving wall scrolls)

Samurai Champloo (made from the same guys who made Bebop. Not as good frankly, but hip hop enthusiasts will claim it is because it substitutes the jazz elements with hip hop. Set in feudal japan with more humor and emphasis on entertaining action scenes)

Ghost in the Shell (a bit serious and dry but smart, well animated, and thoughtful)

Texhnolyze (a depressing gritty near future world with individuals caught in the middle of crime and misfortune)

Psycho Pass (modern animu style but don't be fooled, very good sci fi and philosophical look at questions surrounding sci fi technology, governance, and society)

Gotta give him credit. He's not dwelling on the past. His shows are different and he had the decency to wrap up Bebop and not bastardize it like so many franchises do these days. He made the anime masterpiece, he can just relax now and do what he loves, which is make good anime without expectations.

The "you're gonna carry that weight" is from a beetles song about how hard it will be to follow up on great success. Maybe he thought the weight of bebop's success would weigh on him, but it seems he has learned how to move on.

I cant handle dubbed anime very well. I just have an easier time watching while reading along and sometimes cant mentally process spoken sentences as well even if they're in english. There's also a lot of dubbed anime fall victim to really stiff or over / underracted performances and problems with rough translations / missing information (there's probably many bad VA performances from jap VAs but it's not noticeable to a gaijin). Don't really care what anyone prefers but to me it's also the original voice tones just fit the characters better whereas they kind of work with whatever voices they can get for dubs

>>86712958

You are like a little baby. Anime was dead since the mid 80's.

POSSIBLY CONTROVERSIAL OPINION: It's better to watch the movie in its chronological place within the story in-between episodes 22 & 23, rather than after finishing the series.

It doesn't ruin anything about the last four episodes and "The Real Folk Blues" serves as a much better way to end your time with the characters. Watching the movie first also clarifies and deepens Spike's character going forward.

This is how you should do it if you're watching it for the first time, OP.

Western or at least anglo viewers have always had the concept that anime is about these really deep, serious, dark, mature, violent and artistic stories, but those have always been the exceptions. They're what people want to see because they seem familiar and because they make watching animation in your late teens or adulthood feel more acceptable.

Fuaaaaaaark

I need to binge on some old anime now

I understand that 90% of posts on /tv/ are always unresearched and are opinions from people who have never watched the source material. But why is that whenever someone posts anime on /tv/ people feel the need to post "old anime is better!!!" in response to every recommendation or opinion. I'm assuming they're basing their opinion solely off their experiences with 2-3 shows they watched when they were 15 but it amazes me that people still keep spamming that same fucking quote.

>>86713830
A classic, definitely recommend

>>86714637

>when people talk about ""old anime""

>>86714800
Old anime have had a lot of time to establish themselves, and the 80s and 90s had a period of scifi, cyberpunk, ultraviolence, Western influences and an emphasis on visual realism that appeal to Western viewers particularly well (even if in reality that anime made up a small minority of what was made). They want what's already familiar and doesn't make them feel bad about watching animation when they "shouldn't., and they think their little bubble of interests draws the line between good and bad anime. And if this is the anime that serves as their introduction to the medium, it sets them up with the expectation that this is what anime is supposed to be like.

For a long time people also had their anime intake filtered by video distributors and TV networks and there was much less information or no information available on what was being released in Japan. Anime that wasn't that good got forgotten about over time and only the best remained. Things really changed after the mid 00s with ubiquitous internet access, social media, piracy and streaming. Then an assortment of misunderstandings occured which were codified as memes and spread everywhere. Now people "know" that modern anime is bad even if they've never seen a second of it, and they compare it against a ridiculously cherry-picked past.

Something like that.

Yes, even if you can't follow the car stuff (if you can it just makes it that much more amazing) it's a legendary anime. They don't spend much time explaining the actual detailed car mechanics that goes into racing, just the racing itself. Also the first 4 stages are free on YouTube

They remade the first season as a movie trilogy a few years ago with updated, modern visuals, but it's not worth watching simply because it doesn't have the eurobeat soundtrack. That's how important music is to the series. The movies are only good for AMVs.

This same scene is crap in the movie because it just has some generic, quiet J-rock that sounds like it's embarrased to even be there.

I liked kaiji

one of my favorite things i've ever heard about this show was "it's an epilogue for a story you never see"

I didn't fully realize how much I loved cowboy bebop until after I had watched it and analyzed it for a bit. I constantly find myself wishing I had more to their story. You won't be dissapointed with the rest of the series OP, I would recommend watching the movie before the final episode though, because the movie takes place in the middle of the series and doesn't advance the plot really. Just a longer episode of the show.

While I was looking at some Initial D stuff on YouTube I came across a scene from Tokyo Drift (which I saw ages ago and don't remember much about), and it's interesting how violent it is compared to Initial D (at least the first season that I've seen). The Japanese or Asian guy competing against the hero tries to ram him and even kill him, and then eventually crashes himself in a big way. In Initial D there's a sense of sportmanship and respect.

Vicious represents nihilism in the show in case you couldn't pick up on that, the lesson of the episode was supposed to convey to you the differences in people's perspective on life and their reactions to being confused and lost when they can't find what they're looking for. This theme is central to how the plot driven in the series as well btw, and it's Faye's admiration (after initial disgust) at the trannies reaction to wanting to confront Vicious, which resolves her qualms with Be-Bop and allows her to face her own fear of being emotionally committed to people

Budget is relatively unimportant to the quality of an anime, and saving a little money on the budget doesn't somehow guarantee commercial success. Most anime studios are also contractors and receive little or no revenue, and their motive for being in the industry is because they want to make anime.

I literally never said or implied anywhere that I'm a weeb, and weebs don't exist. You just admitted that you are wrong.

Will there be another Cowboy Bebop tier anime ever or is it over for anime

>>86717733
>he didn't watch endless eight

>>86717758
Only the last two episodes have some kind of story

>>86717801

No. How many times are you people going to post this?

>>86717702
>no plot

Two shows are not the same thing just because they both take place in high school. Why do so many people fall for this meme?

>>86717822
I'll be posting it until anyone makes an anime as good as Gunbuster, Macross, Space Pirate Captain Harlock, or Legend of the Galactic Heroes or Tantei Opera Milky Holmes again

>>86717801
Definitely not. The show came at the perfect time.

Im going to watch the movie ending tomorrow and read some the wiki to make sure i didn't miss any plot holes but it just did not end up being for me. I have always heard good things and wanted to give it a try.

>>86717846
Haruhi was so good it broke everyone's brains and made probably 10,000 (rough estimate) people want to kill themselves because it wasn't real.

I've never seen this kind of tunnel vision with any other medium.

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.

anime got taken over by two things: digital art, and an ironic obsession with something called moe, but especially digital art.

you can save this without looking at it and read it after if you like. This includes stuff from supplemental sources too (you couldn't necessarily get ALL of this background stuff from just your viewing) but this will give you the BIG ENCHILADA

also for End of Eva just try to enjoy the ride, it's an amazing spectacle/experience

>>86717705
it really is "im14andthisisdeep" the anime

>>86717916
This is good pasta

>>86717938
Why would people use cel animation when digital animation is faster, cheaper and less limited?

There's nothing ironic about moe nor is there anything wrong with moe. It's also something that goes back to the 1970s or earlier. Not a new thing.

>>86717895
>it's deep so it must be good
WEW LAD

>>86717950
I didn't know any of this shit for years after I saw NGE. Like I didn't know about all the alien and that bs. It complicates the plot without resolving any of the basic questions about the series. I guess the new movies have retconned a lot of stuff to try to make sense of those basic things (like what Gendo was trying to do, why it was different that what SEELE wanted, who Kowaru was talking to in the lake if it wasn't SEELE)

>>86717999
Nobody said moe was new. Did I say it was new? It's not even a term exclusive to anime. But within anime it's taken on a life of its own that is pretty intensely ironic that now has more to do with the relationship between the obssessive fans of anime and their relationship to society writ large that, and it has become unhealthy for both-- which is a phenomenon that has been recognized and analyzed to death by the career creators in the medium.

And digital animation just doesn't look as good. It's how it goes.

So modern anime are basically just cartoons for perverts and manchildren? Or was anime always like this with few exceptions here and there?

There will never be a new anime as good as this

>>86718190
It's not ironic. You are either projecting something here or thinking that /a/ is representative of Japan.

>the relationship between the obssessive fans of anime and their relationship to society writ large
Which is almost entirely imagined by Westerners and not actually real.

>And digital animation just doesn't look as good.
The differences are mostly not inherent to the technology. Color design for example has changed because now there are no limits on how many can be used, but nothing's preventing anyone from using the same kind of color design as before.

No, it's been a pluralistic medium for a long time, with something for everyone, somewhere. It just has some cancerous memes.

>Which is almost entirely imagined by Westerners and not actually real.
Except that I'm basically paraphrasing a enough interviews with producers and directors that I've read that can fill a book. I've been watching anime for a long time.
