does Spirited Away count as anime

Pitch posted:

I personally have a problem where I feel like genuinely good anime deserves more attention from me so I put it off but end up watching complete garbage the day it airs.

I always found the rebuild movies incoherent and kinda pointless. Not stoked for the final installment. I'd have to rewatch all the other ones first.

I say this as a big EVA nerd.

Actually they own because it's Anno giving the fanbase what they want in the most insulting way possible

It's what the movie is about. The author of the story gave interviews about it.

If you zoom in on the picture you'll see that they recreated the One Piece logo but with photo realistic bones.

S2 of GITS 2045 was really dumb. There are no cool stand-alone episodes like in S1, and the post-human plot is so messy. At least the final episode introduces some interesting ideas; if only the rest of the show had actually done a better job of setting that up it might have been kind of cool. However, I don't see that the baddies plan in any way addresses actual material concerns.

So people just walk around in the real world but living at least half inside their own personal fantasy. How are resources divided in the real world? Who feeds people? If half the country is dreaming that they are the prime minister, who actually makes decisions that affect the real world?

How do people meaningfully interact with one another? It seems to me doublethink would have to work very hard to keep peoples personal fantasies from being in conflict with another, so much so that cooperating on a complex project would be practically impossible.

It looked for a little while like they were implying that people would just literally live dream lives in boxes that saw to their needs, similar to the one Makoto wakes up in, a pretty famous philosophical concept, but then they abandon that in the very next sentence and I think the implication is that they were just shelters from the smart gas. Good thing they thought of preparing 3 million of those since the AE used gas and not a nuke of their own.

other than gits and psycho pass, what are some good cyberpunk anime? especially ones that show the low life and not just the high tech

I had no expectations but negative ones for the Blame! movie, but the 3DCG actually works for the setting and fits the art direction. It perfectly captures the atmosphere of the manga and is a neat little contained story that could be slotted in to any point of the journey from the manga. If you're a fan then you should watch it, and if you're not a fan then maybe the movie will get you interested in the manga.
