Re: ITT Post Your Random Thoughts
well dressed sitting in my chair surrounded by the many books of my library, swirling the wine in my glass, a fireplace gently burns nearby
"shinji get in the robot" i say
the small crowd around me nods in approval
we get fucking wasted on cheap wine

I don't get it. VB at least attempts to be funny. NGE is just torture porn for people who want to fuck 14 year olds but think they're deep because there's Christian iconography involved in it.The Ghost of Ember wrote: ↑Thu Aug 22, 2019 8:34 amneon genesis evangelion is just the venture bros for japan

The only good things I got out of watching it were:DaikatunaRevengeance wrote: ↑Thu Aug 22, 2019 6:14 ami only know it through memes
the purest way to expereince media
1) A couple scenes of the penguin and problematic beer mom
2) learning the Japanese symbol for anxiety
3) The KOTH anime opening
I can't believe that people were like, "I know you don't like anime, but this anime will change your mind"

Re: ITT Post Your Random Thoughts
I usually see Cowboy Bebop tossed around as the go-to introductory anime.

Re: ITT Post Your Random Thoughts
Cowboy Bebop is hella fun and quite western movie style inspired so it's not such a harsh jump for a western audience

Re: ITT Post Your Random Thoughts
by The Doctor having either dumb luck or keen intuition i really liked Kino's Journey as someone who is apathetic toward anime
it helps that every episode is a very self-contained story and they tend to focus on the intrigue of these stories above all else, instead of just trying to squeeze out as much drama and feels as they can muster

Re: ITT Post Your Random Thoughts
recommending Evangelion as a blind watch for someone who doesn't watch anime actually rather sounds like japes moreso than anything

or Mushishi, for similar reasons to Kino's Journey and also because Mushishi owns

Re: ITT Post Your Random Thoughts
Stuff like "Little Witch Academia" is also good for people new to anime. It's relatively light-hearted, and also Western animation inspired (seriously, the creator's a huge fan of American cartoons), so that helps a ton.

Re: ITT Post Your Random Thoughts
which is kind of funny since Mushishi is definitely, extremely japanese, and you'd have a really hard time finding similar western stuff to compare it to, it's just anime in very very different ways than most anime is

Re: ITT Post Your Random Thoughts
they're both deconstructions of their cultures version of the boy wonderkins, presenting themselves as something else before turning into an examination of depression, failure, and ennui
nge just pretends to be an action adventure while vb pretends to be a comedy
you're still better off watching shin godzilla if you want to watch something good by anno though

Re: ITT Post Your Random Thoughts
Funny, that was the one the person subjecting me to NGE recommended as a follow up. After watching an episode of that I think I like that even less. NGE at least had a penguin. I think I just aged out of liking violence cartoons that are too humanistic in character design. I like cartoons that are cute, humorous and/or social commentary.Perrydotto wrote: ↑Thu Aug 22, 2019 3:59 pmCowboy Bebop is hella fun and quite western movie style inspired so it's not such a harsh jump for a western audience

Yeah, Bebop is an action show first and foremost. It has strong characters, but if you're not liking the violence then it's definitely not going to impress.

Re: ITT Post Your Random Thoughts
yeah fair enough, it is what it wants to be and does that IMO extremely well but it has no pretense about being particularly cute or lighthearted

Re: ITT Post Your Random Thoughts
LWA is basically a love letter to western animation (full of little cameos and references to MLP, Steven Universe, Gravity Falls, Dexter's Lab, Sabrina, old Disney and such) and generally feels a lot like a western cartoon. Definitely cute and humorous, and re: social commentary it's like a Harry Potter cartoon if Rowling's politics didn't suck (so instead of mocking the elves' union the main character joins their union protest and they end up with more fair wages and conditions)

Re: ITT Post Your Random Thoughts
their witch society is also as stuck in their ways, elitist and isolationist as HP's wizarding world, but the show is like... actually aware that no Rowling this is not a good thing, and it's addressed as a big part of the story

Re: ITT Post Your Random Thoughts
LWA has made literally every other take on "magic meets technology" invalid because a witch hovers in on a flying roomba and describes it as an "evolved broom"
