So the difference is that "Adult" anime has awesome female leads?

Define "kids"

Whats the point of making distinctions?

I like being a kid then

Yes.

fixed.

Also, Ergo Proxy is shit.

>>19308743
Not necessarily referring to chronological age but to mental age, maturity and ability to comprehend abstract ideas.

>>19308805
Ergo Proxy was awesome.
So was TTGL. And so will be the new FMA.

>>19308719
Anime is ssh it no matter what.

Argh. What's the name of the second one from the left in the bottom row again? I wanted to watch it, but forgot about it.

so adults enjoy boring shit. i see

>for adults

AHAHAHAHHAH japs are still desperately trying to emulate the good shows that Europe and America have been putting out. And they always fall short.

Tell me when the Japs figure out what GOOD WRITING and PACING are.

HAHA YOU WATCH GURREN LAGANN YOU STUPID FUCKING CHILD. WHY NOT WATCH SOMETHING DARKER LIKE LAIN OR ERGO PROXY. IF EVERYTHING ISN'T BLACK GRAY AND BLUE IT MUST BE FOR FUCKIG CHILDREN.

>>19308853
I don't think there is such a thing as a well written anime

i agree 100% with the OP. i havn't been watching shit of anime recently as 99% of anime being released in the past year or so have been mindless MOE fests or shows for 12 year olds

and no i am not kidding or trolling

>>19308836
probably because of how BORING it was

>>19308900
Well, there's LOGH.

>>19308853
Well they gave up as you can see. Now we just get the same plots over and over. At least the kiddies are happy as you can see ITT

>>19308817
>comprehend abstract ideas. blabla DEEP

More like: We completely copypasta the ideas of certain philosophers into our story, name our characters after them and throw in religious symbolism nonsense INSTEAD of creating characters with different mindsets that are constructed by the author.

>I'm so mature, I only watch deep anime. Anime is serious business.

>>19308903
99% is a hyperbole, there have been a lot of generics floating around, but a couple good ones, and some much awaited sequels

what about Evangelion?

I enjoyed all on the bottom, as well as TTGL and FMA.

>>19308943
No rebuttal, I see. Have a nice day!

>>19308903
The guy who wrote Morbito is currently airing a new series. First few episodes seemed decent but im waiting for it to finish.

>>19308973
No
>>19308975
>pretentious
using words you don't know, I see.

I watch anime to have fun, not to pretend that I'm a intellectual guy.
If I wanted something intellectually rich experience I would read a book, not watch a Japanese cartoon. And I believe most Japanese people agree with me on that.

>>19308934

Most Japanese people don't watch fucking cartoons.

All anime is the same plot or subpar attempts to copy Western shows and ideas.

The genre is dead.

ABe came to visit my college last semester and everyone was freaking the fuck out and orgasming like the second coming of Christ.

I found it all to be a truckload of pretentious shit.

I like shit like Ergo Proxy or Lain that is a bit deeper, but I'm not going to claim it's on the level of a good novel...

... hmm, they should make an anime out of Atlas Shrugged.

>>19308853

/co/ ===>

Anime may suck. But it sucks less than western animation.

>for adults

AHAHAHAHHAH japs are still desperately trying to emulate the good shows that Europe and America have been putting out. And they always fall short.

Tell me when the Japs figure out what GOOD WRITING and PACING are.

>>19309121
Because anons want to justify their dislike for certain series by placing them on a different pedestal than things in the exact same media form.

>>19309102
OP never stated whether he watches one or the other. You can watch Gurren Lagann but still enjoy Haibane Renmei, you don't have to only watch "Pretentious" stuff or shonen shit.

>>19309135
Oh lord 8/10

>>19309155
No one cares about western animation. We care about good shows. A concept japs haven't been able to wrap their heads around for the last 50 FUCKING YEARS.

FFFFFFFFFFFF

ANDOOO!

I had varying levels of enjoyment for every series on there. I even enjoyed Bleach (the first arc anyways), and the even some of Geass. I know this is a troll, but I don't know why we have to get so upset at each other for watching something that we enjoyed. To me, it doesn't matter what you watch, because at the end of the day we all are still watching anime. It doesn't matter if you watch the 'good shit' or the 'shitty shit', we're all the same in everyone else's eyes.

Anyways, sorry for the interruption, have fun with your troll thread Anonymous.

>>19309315
NGE
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time
can take on your list.

>>19309277
>Star Wars
Your list is invalid.

Planetes was pretty good and intellectual.

ITT: people overrate Hollywood movies

The best that the Japanese have will never match up to the best that Europe and America have made

That said, I still enjoy anime. I know the writing is shit, but that doesn't mean it isn't good dumb fun. Like Scary Movie. Now that is a better comparison to anime.

ITT people overrate anime

>>19309301
>>19309293
>>19309277
Oh, hey, The Seven Samurai and Yojimbo were here.

Your list is a loser.

>>19309277

You expect a small subculure to produce masterpieces equal to the global cinema greats, with only a millionth of the budget and time?

You're pretty much a frucking idiot for even bothering to make such a comparison. That's like asking for a comic book that can beat classic novels. It's not going to happen, but it doesn't mean the other medium is worthless.


OP: You kind of got it right. Ergo Proxy is psuedo-intellectual bullshit though. And, ironically, Seirei no Moribito is based off a novel aimed at teenagers.

The Japs have been in showbiz for more than 50 years. I am sure they have something.

>>19309277
Allison and Lillia was better than Star Wars. I claim my five pounds.

>>19309423

It's aimed at kid's actually, but I don't know how faithful it is to that novel.

>>19309451
At the most half a dozen good films and shows even if you include anime

>>19309401
Akira Kurosawa would have a word with you. Takeshi Kitano is quite good too.

>>19309461

It's pretty damned faithful.

>>19309423
>Ergo Proxy is psuedo-intellectual bullshit though
But that's what I love about it. Yes I'm what /a/ would call "pretentious". But the only anime I would actually label pretentious is Paprika. Shit tried to be complex and deep but failed horribly with a cliche plot and horrible execution.

>>19309277

I shit shapes better than Citizen Kane.

ITT People think their opinions are facts

>>19309423
It was never limited to anime. You still fall short.

>>19309497
Awesome novel then.

anime doesn't need 10 billion budget to make it worthwhile

>>19309516
>failed horribly with a cliche plot

Anime hasn't done this before?

>>19309516

agreed. Ergo Proxy also had Paranoid Android for credit music, which makes up for any of its short comings.

>>19309014

Truth.

>>19309528
Neither does the majority of European and American media. That is no excuse.

Why would Hollywood movies be necessarily better than Japanese movie/animation?

Using examples posted here:
Why would Star Wars be better than Yojimbo? Why would Die Hard be better than Spirited Away?
Why would Blade Runner be better than Kagemusha?

It all comes to tastes.

Just think for a second before posting, cock sucker. If you have fun with "Anime for Kids" and not with "Anime for Adults" you are on a kid's level. Is it so hard to understand that? Nobody's trying to be "intelectual" or shit with fucking jap's animation, but some are trying to grow up from DBZ

Not entirely true. I borrowed SE Lain to my little cousin some time ago.

He's a social reject now, so it ain't that bad.

>>19309739
Because Ergo Proxy and Lain were targeted to Harvard PhDs, right?
The fact is, a Harvard PhD is more likely to watch DBZ than Ergo Proxy.

i like all those anime's except ergo proxy and code geass.

i like welcome to the nhk
texhnolyze
haruhi suzumiya and
lucky star as well,

WHAT STEREOTYPE AM I /a/?
>>19309135
agreed, i want this show now.

also, the book lolita would make an awesome anime, because you could actually animate all the scenes that can't be in the movie versions for obvious reasons.

WAIT, but /a/ loves all those "kids" anime and has differing opinions on the "adult" anime. This proves that most of /a/ is underage b&

How the fuck is Code Geass a kids anime?
Tons of sexual innuendo, plus tits.

>>19308719
