I've been contemplating watching Madoka for a very long time. It looks so fucking bad, looks like complete moeshit, but I've heard its actually very dark. I've also heard extremely mixed views.

Same with K-On! Yeah I know it's amazing I haven't watched this yet, I've watched tons of anime but K-On! Looks SO FUCKING TERRIBLE. I want to watch it just because it's popular but I can't bring myself to watch it.

I watched Lucky Star because of its popularity, and it was pretty boring.

Watched KON! for the same reason, back when every new episode meant 8 new threads flooding the front page, and it was pretty good. Just give it a chance

Madoka was a good show, probably even high tier if I were to rate it. But it's not great, it's just not memorable enough. Honestly I wouldn't have ever thought about ti again if not for /a/'s collective obsession over it. It's honestly like /a/'s mlp.

>>67745481
Eva wasnt a masterpiece by our standards. Eva was a masterpiece only because it evoked some christian religious symbolism.
>>
>>67745450

How can it be an objective masterpiece failing in the areas where it can be criticized objectively, like the animation?
>>
>>67745522
the christian symbolism had very little to do with why eva was good. The psychology and deep meaningful character interactions is why it's still remembered and talked about.
>>
The best anime ever, without any doubt, is
Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica. Not only is the plot amazing, it delivers important themes about society and has a lot of symbols about religion. Pisses me off that people don't understand how beautiful this anime is and I just want to punch them in the face.
>>
>>67745564
Eva does not have any deep meaning. The only thing thats different from any other robot show is a depressed kid and bunch of christian symbolism. Depressed kid was the projection of Anno's own self-esteem and the Christian symbolism was because the production team used it because it was unique to Japanese robot anime. I doubt you got the "deep" meaning from a depressed emo kid. And I highly doubt your "christian symbolism had very little to do with why eva was good." This is the main thing that set it apart from other japanese mecha shows. And this is the main reason WESTERNERS bought this anime. In Japan this series is not a masterpiece but rather something above average.

Doesn't make any sense at all, i can say that any work of fiction has shit characters and/or plot, and nobody will be unable to prove me wrong since those examples are general as fuck and can be used by anyone to sound altiloquent, pedant and sesqupidelian.
Are you underage by any chance? It seems like most of those who hate meguka are underage as shown by their posts.

>In Japan this series is not a masterpiece but rather something above average.
This sums up how ignorant you are. I'm nowhere near a big fan of Eva, but it is undeniably considered a classic in Japan. It is far and away the most popular anime among anime fans in Japan, and considered the standard for which all new anime are judged. There's a reason why people compared Madoka to Eva.

>>67745954
How was its plot shit? Its characters weren't great but its plot was high quality.

Go back to bed kid. Eva wasnt big at all when it was airing. The only reason it got popular in japan was because of westerners thinking it is deep. Japan having a western fetish bought this and continued to propagate this. All the new otakus that have watched the Eva without any influence from westerners dont see any value in it.

So is Bebop or EVA. Even K-ON!
>>
>>67746108
Incorrect. Eva was well established as a success before had any relevance out West. It was by far the highest selling anime of that decade (its first run sold about 110,000 units) and hasn't been topped since then even though anime sales on average are much higher.

>>67746182
You're making a strawman argument. I didn't say anything about normal or intelligent. My point was that it was nothing terribly special in terms of character interaction. Its worth was in its approach to character development.
>>
>>67746222
Bebop's masterpiece is evident even in this generation. Eva is just judeo-christian culture fanatism

Yeah, really successful when all you have to do is make shit up to cover for the bad writing and toss as many insults as possible at the people you're arguing with. Back an apologist into the corner and he'll show no shame. This happens in many a Madoka thread.

I suppose this would count as a victory in the same manner as one army showing pity to incompetent opponents who toss as many men at you as possible to wear you down by opting out of further wasting resources and materials on them, and then the opposing army claims glorious victory and puff themselves up with pride. Most would consider this pathetic but the Madokafags take in putting in so much effort with little to show.
