If you must blink, do it now.
Protip: If whatever you're comparing to Citizen Kane came out in the last ten years or less, it's not a suitable comparison.

I dunno why everyone in that thread seems to think she was doing a legit citizen kane comparison, but maybe they are just not ready to accept lil' wickedhate can actually fakepost now.

No, I was being serious at the time, I just should have put more thought into the things I was saying. Way too inflammatory, and makes it harder to talk about stuff that's even better than that.

Never make a Citizen Kane comparison with anything. It never ever ends well.

Citizen Kane isn't just the go-to example of an important film because it's good. Its production influenced the way movies would come to be made and consumed. For anything to provide a proper point of comparison, it would have to be something that's been around long enough to measure its influence both within the context of its medium as well as the larger cultural consciousness surrounding it.

You could probably make a case for something like, say, Evangelion being the (or "A") Citizen Kane moment for anime, but not anything that's come out in recent memory. Even if KLK were a show of that caliber, it'd take several more years to see how it influenced the wider world of anime around it.

I think Akira is closer to what would be considered an actual Citizen Kane comparison as far as anime goes.

Possibly. There's also the fact that anime is as diverse and compartmentalized as any other medium, so the most influence robot show isn't necessarily going to make many waves within the realm of romantic comedy. Hence the idea of "A" Citizen Kane moment rather than "The" Citizen Kane moment.

To the man who loves art for its own sake, it is frequently in its least important and lowliest manifestations that the keenest pleasure is to be derived.

Probably. Point is, you have to talk about things whose influence you have to have proper scope of, which takes years and years to develop.

Some would argue that videogames still haven’t produced their Citizen Kane… but neither have they fashioned their equivalent of the airline safety video.
I've definitely seen airline safety videos that were better than some video games.
