Go back to /a/ faggot...you anime/manga fags have so many boards and places to go to talk about all that crap. Stay out of /lit/.

>>2027739
i don't think you've read as much as me, and that kind of response comes from a boy who needs to feel good by putting others down.

>>2027742
reading comic books doesn't count

>>2027739
Besides, we just had a good thread about videogames.

>>2027743
Why are you even on /lit/?
It's because you need to feel superior about something, anything when the rest of your life just makes you angry. Why are you angry? You feel intelligent, but not intelligent enough. You think you should be smart enough to understand, but you don't. And it makes you mad.

I approve this thread.

Anyway, now that I'm done electronically emasculating teenagers, anything well-written produced recently?

I hope you're talking about the VN OP.

>>2027758
I admit my standards are lowered since Endless 8.

>>2027758
And no, I've completely given up on Umineko having a coherent plot.

>>2027749
You're the one who apparently needs to feel superior telling people "i don't think you have read as much as me" therefore i am superior. You don't like manga and I do, therefore I am superior and I can post this shit in any board when there are plenty of places specifically made for this type of fag shit.

>>2027739

>>i don't think you've read as much as me, and that kind of response comes from a boy who needs to feel good by putting others down.

What the hell does your reading as much as anyone else even have to do with any of this?

Go cry into your manga and keep thinking you are so deep, interesting, cultured, and cool because you read books backwards and all the while you don't realize that most of these plots have been played out before in actual literature.

You need books with pictures to help you understand the plot and characters.

Just go back to your picture books.

>>2027770
So angry. Such a failure in life.

>>2027770
Of course plots are recycled, as are archetypes. New things are constantly being created from these old parts, but most importantly, as Hegel said, they embody the zeitgeist, the spirit of the time.

>>2027749
hey guys i didn't know dr. phil posted on fucking /lit/ of all places can you believe that

>>2027773
Oh no, Dr Phil can't tell you to your face that you're a loser who only thinks he knows.

Next thing you're gonna say that your favorite book was Catcher in the Rye.

>>2027749

I hate it when faggots try to act like they're psychologists.

>>2027793
You gonna debate me, too?

But there's no need, it's a samefag.

>>2027771

Why are you talking about your mom in this thread? Wow, no respect.

>>2027823
You ought to go back to the asperger's thread.

>>2027749

So what you are saying is this is why people come to /lit/?? You are fucking retarded, we come here to discuss literature, moron.

Why are you even here posting then if everyone on /lit/ is quote:

<<<"Why are you even on /lit/?
It's because you need to feel superior about something, anything when the rest of your life just makes you angry. Why are you angry? You feel intelligent, but not intelligent enough. You think you should be smart enough to understand, but you don't. And it makes you mad."

Yes, that is exactly why we are on /lit/...moron, no it's to get away from people like you, who read fucking manga and think they are psychoanalysts now because the characters in their mangas are sooooo deep!!!

(no offence to everyone who reads manga, just the ones who think they are qualified to psychoanalyze because they read it)

GTFO of /lit/ faggot!!

>>2027826

You don't have to type what you are saying to your mom at the moment, jeez. Wow, the lack of respect for your poor obese diabetes riddled mother.

>>2027829
Why do you keep samefagging replies? Would it be better if I pretended to be qualified to psychoanalyze you after reading Dostoevsky? It's not hard when you're as fucked up as you are.

To think that an animation style can make people so angry.

>>2027832
It's not the animation style that makes people angry, it's the jackasses who think they are so deep for liking it that irritate the crap out of everyone.

I like manga, don't get me wrong, but if I want to discuss it, I sure as hell wouldn't come to /lit/ to do so.

>>2027830
Your momma? On /lit/? I don't know what you've been reading, but it's not helping you at all. Just give up and go back to /b/

>>2027834

Thank you, someone who finally fucking gets it.

>>2027834
>>2027838
samefag

>>2027839
Hate to disappoint you, but no.

>>2027842
Really? It's hard to believe that two people would make the mistake of thinking that anyone on this thread was claiming this anime was "deep"

>>2027831

Because it clearly evokes a feeling out of you enough to reply.

And to your surprise I have only made 3 posts in this thread. Seems people are taking things I post and running with it.

Is it so shocking that there would be more than one person in /lit/ that doesn't want your faggotry in here?

>>2027843
This is me. >>2027834

Things like this led me to the conclusion that some people in this thread consider manga to be 'deep'. Then again, I haven't slept in two days so it's entirely possible my insomniac brain isn't functioning properly right now.

>>2027853
Well there you go, we never claimed this anime to be deep, but I considered the main plot pretty well-written, and was wondering what the rest of /lit/ thought.

Will /lit/ ever be a literature board? Reported.

>>2027853

You haven't understood any of this. It's not that manga is "deep" it's the fucking readers that get so full of it that think they themselves are "deep" for reading it'...even the fact that you have to mention that you are an "insomniac", who gives a fuck. Once again you are trying to look like you are some cool person, cause that's what cool people in your picture books do right, not sleep.

There aren't any good animes on right now. The Tatami Galaxy was good

>>2027863
I liked the way they explored the space created by the typical Japanese module and its repetition, but the ending was a bit... I dunno

>>2027858
I never said that manga was deep. I simply stated that some people in this thread considered it to be. To be honest, I haven't read any manga in months.

If people want to read it, that's all well and good. However, it does not make you 'deep', 'cool', or whatever else, and certainly not well-read. /lit/ is not the place to discuss manga or comic books, no matter how you look at it, because these are simply. not. literature.

Everyone who participated in this thread should feel ashamed.

>>2027872

Hate to say it but you just participated buddy.

>>2027878
>Hate to say it
Then why did you? Sounds like YOU belong in the autism thread.

Wow this cratered faster and harder than the thread about fanfiction someone posted earlier. That's impressive.

While we're off-topic, to those who think manga doesn't have any literary merit, why? Is there something fundamentally about the medium that makes it necessarily shallower than books without pictures, or is it the market that produces and publishes it prevents anything but recycled plots from getting through?

And what about anime based on so-called "light novels" that were never manga to begin with? (I've found these are almost always superior to those that started as manga.) They don't fall under the umbrella of "picture books" so they potentially could have merit.

I don't expect serious replies but it'd be nice.

>>captcha "symposium inanize"

>>2027923
I'd say that most light novels have been pretty meh for me so far. As for manga and anime, there's merit but it needs to be dug for. After all, my coursebook for Philosophy was Ghost in the Shell.

>>2027936
Oh, except for 12 Kingdoms. A rather fatalistic worldview, though.

>>2027963
>>12 kingdoms
Aha. Have you seen Shiki? I thought it had better plot and characterization than almost any anime I'd seen recently (and built suspense extremely well) -- not to mention it completely changed theme/tone in the middle in a way that should have been very hard to pull off. Was originally a novel by the same author.

Vampire Hunter D and Trinity Blood are two others that were novels first, anime later, but I don't think the anime are representative of the novels in either case. My Japanese friend talks about the writing quality of the latter all the time; it definitely loses something when translated into anime or even English.

>>2027977
I've watched the anime, but overall I thought 12 Kingdoms was stronger. I know they changed a lot of things for Shiki's adaptation.

>>2027977
As for Trinity Blood, wasn't impressed by the anime, didn't really think about reading the novel. Is it a lot better?
