/a/ doesn't talk about good anime.

Enjoy your lesbian loli Jesus.

Alone.

I would but I'm only on EP 4.
Maybe another day.

One of the best there is.

Does /a/ only talk about bad animes?

Where should I go to talk to people about this one?

PRESENT DAY

>>20317210
LESBIAN LOLI JESUS!? THAT'S EVEN BETTER THAN KUNG-FU ACTION JESUS! MOTHER FUCKER!

>>20317210
>lesbian loli Jesus.
sounds like the most perfect formula for success

Sorry, I hate confusing shit

>>20317210
>/a/ doesn't talk about gPRESENT DAY

I haven't watched it in years, but god I love the opening theme

PRESENT TIME

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA-*static*

>>20317230
I know... I really loved it. The artwork and animation is kinda sub-par for this day and age, but what they did with the artwork and animation was really creative and it looked brilliant despite being technically underwhelming

>>20317231
The anime community doesn't talk about good anime in general, so you're pretty fucked. It's all moe, shounen, and mainstream bullshit.

The best anime is often looked at then thrown away in favor of shit like Toradora and K-On.

Lain was not confusing.

And you don't seem to understand

I'd love to, Op. Which was your favorite episode?

A shame you seemed an honest man

She's a bit of a robot-girl type of a character, and gets naked in the credits.

Guess that makes her a little like Index.

T.A.M. Index, though is more recent and has Biribiri, whereas Lain only has Suicide Girl, so Index is more popular.

I bought the box set of this, I wish I hadn't, I didn't know what the fuck was going on. Scene where Lain watches whats her face schlicking was good though, or was that the bad guys pretending to be her? Messed up poo poo.

And all the fears you hold so dear

Will turn to whisper in your ear

>>20317289
You're comparing Lain to Index? Really?

>>20317289
>Comparing Lain to Index

>>20317285
I didn't really have a favorite episode... I just watched the whole thing at once and really enjoyed the whole thing. I like the philosophical aspects of it and like when it says we only have bodies to verify we exist and stuff. Also the part where her sister is at the top of the stairs talking into her hand and then she suddenly disappears was really cool.

I watched like 2 episodes on this channel no one fucking knew about that showed like, 2 hours of anime every monday. They played cool stuff tho. Dual, Girugamesh, miko prist with purple hair that cut it off-- a mecha anime thing. Oh, and this one where there on this ship and everythings dark and it's this psycho episode talking about fear or something. (if anyone knows what I'm talking about, feel free to tell me, I want to see it again.) Yeah, anyway, I thought my head was gonna explode. Shit confused the hell out of me.

And you know what they say might hurt you

And you know that it means so much

>lesbian loli Jesus

sums it up quite well

>>20317268
Remember that Lain is from 1998, and still is not completely forgotten.

I know what you're saying though, sigh.

>>20317242
>I refuse to challenge myself to attempt to infer information regarding plot and character development
>I am unwilling to put forth effort to understand even basic themes that are presented in a way that does not involve a character or narrator directly explaining them
>I think that coasting through life without even attempting to use my intellect is a winning strategy that will result in great rewards in the future

And you don't even feel a thing

I am falling, I am fading, I have lost it all

>>20317274
This.

Boogiepop Phantom (some of the same team as Lain, and a similar feel) was fucking confusing, as they basically expected most audiences to either have read the novels or not care.

>>20317344
In most entertainment communities ample attention is given to classics and the best regardless of time period. The anime community seems to defy this for the next moe of the month.

And you don't seem the lying kind

Niea_7 was superior and I've never seen a single Niea thread on /a/.

>>20317375
I got boogiepop phantom more than lain. Basically some ghost possesing kids at random and using their bodies to hunt demon things. At least, that's what I picked up in the 2 vol. I've read.

A shame that I can read your mind

>>20317219
where can i get this?

>>20317435
It's on realitylapse

>>20317402
Overrated shit

>>20317402
I loved NieA ;_;

Everyone I've told about it were turned off because of the MANRY opening theme.

>>20317386
It's normal for shows that are currently AIRING to get the most discussion, it's normal for pretty much every sort of media out there.
Lain got ample discussions back in the days.

>>20317448
>rmvb
>avi

I vomited.
Use boxtorrents.

And all the things that I read there

>>20317402
I have, twice. Though, I think I started one of them.

Candle-lit smile that we both share

And you know I don't mean to hurt you

>>20317386
You kidding me, there seems to be an Eva thread at least once a day.

>>20317322
Well, I too appreciated and enjoyed its philosophical and psychological elements.

But you know that it means so much

>>20317468
Each good show gets like 1 thread every couple of days. I've pretty much found that good anime doesn't get discussed until after the season is over.

>>20317402
What is there really to discuss about NieA?

And you don't even feel a thing...

>>20317529
Picture spam!

Really, ABe is one of the few "cute girl" artists I like because he uses natural colours and not wacky neon and pastel like what is the norm for anime.

I watched it so long ago I don't really remember, but when I've gone through it I wanted to discuss it too.

I am falling, I am fading, I am drowning, help me to breathe

>>20317326
>miko prist with purple hair that cut it off-- a mecha anime thing.

Sakura Wars?

I am hurting, I have lost it all, I am losing, help me to breathe...

>>20317584
I don't think so... I think it started with an M...

>>20317569
I don't even have any pictures... what have you got?

>>20317605

Start here.

Lain is still known as the biggest mind fuck out there. Or has something beat it that I'm not aware of? Most likely not.

CHINA ALIEN APPRECIATION THREAD.

>>20317704
No, definitely not.

>>20317699
I meant for NieA actually... but Lain is fine too

>>20317514
Eva is probably the most important anime of the last 30 years though. And it has Asuka and Kaworu which were the greatest anime couple ever.

>>20317704
Try watching Cat Soup.

>>20317751
>And it has Asuka and Kaworu which were the greatest anime couple ever.
0/10

>>20317680
uh... maybe? I'd have to see a picture of it...

>>20317751
He was arguing that the classics were never discussed.

Lain is loev.
She also stares into your soul.

And sees you fapping. No, seriously

>>20317781
More proof of their love for you.

>>20317704
They're out there. You just have to find them.

>>20317822
Hey, if she wants to watch, that's her choice. Not sure what she would get out of it though.

Its weird, but I think most of /a/ cant really get their heads around Lain (outside of wanking to the loli like a faggot).

I approve of this thread; for once, no loli.

>>20317900
It's not weird, /a/ is full of people who were either too young to talk when Lain first aired or are too stupid to understand it now, or both.

>>20317699
Oh thanks... I hope there's some cool artwork

>>20317900
I wouldn't say most by any means. There are certainly those in /a/ like that though. Doesn't mean we have to welcome them with open arms.
