not to be that guy that thinks 90s anime was better (anime now definitely has a bigger variety of art styles and overall higher quality) but it's hard to beat this poo poo

gimme the GOD drat candy posted:the 90's anime that anyone remembers is pretty fuckin' sweet. the rest of it was forgotten for a reason. it's very top heavy. there's definitely a huge gap between like Giant Robo, Evangelion, Ghibli stuff, Cowboy Bebop, Kawajiri's work, Mamoru Oshii's stuff, Utena, Lain, LOGH, Berserk, the good sports/comedy/slice of life stuff on the one hand and then like...everything else that has been entirely dustbinned

Yeah Marley is unambiguously evil. They want to conquer and genocide Eldia for natural resources and then would probably have murdered all the Eldians, including the warriors, for good measure. I haven't read much further but I know Eren decides that the only way to be safe from genocide is to counter genocide everyone else, and I'm not exactly sure if any character has offered a real alternative to that position.

I don't think the manga is always better. yeah the art is better but given how loving still most anime is atmosphere and music play a big role imo

an actual dog posted:eva is not leftist but it's incredibly good. Anno is an incredible director and the entire series, from the original to EoE to the Rebuilds, is an act of love. eva is very hegelian but I agree -- definitely not marxist

ok so watched 3.0+1.0 and it was fine, easily the best of the Rebuilds. It doesn't hit like the original and I don't give a gently caress about canon so I could take it or leave it, but there were good elements. I feel like if I hadn't been invested in the series as a young teen, watched the rebuilds throughout college and my young adult life I might be less interested in it. thematically it is good but...uncomfortable in light of what's going on in the world. the total irony of a film that's about rejecting and letting go of evangelion, reversing commodification, literally, and breaking cycles of pain through shared sacrifice and understanding in light of covid and global meltdown and the mountains of plastic poo poo this film created. Anno is a multi-millionaire with a hot wife, so this definitely feels very left-libbish. EoE from a marxist perspective was about explicitly courting destruction in the face of psychopathic elite plans, about accepting universal brotherhood through organic means rather than psycho-spiritual capitalist blobbing. shinji's wish at end of eva is: to let everyone choose if they want to come back and try to rebuild hell world, to go on living with the recognition that things might be in inexorable decline, to accept the possibility of pain in a divided mankind, to reject fusion with the capitalist world-being on human terms in 3.0+1.0 it's actually insanely selfish: now that you've learned how to operate within the world, just wish away late stage, apocalyptic capitalism and return to less hosed (but ultimately doomed) real world of 2020/2021. Things aren't poo poo because of the Evangelions, you fool KaptainKrunk has issued a correction as of 02:02 on Aug 15, 2021 |

I hear philosophical and anime and I run in the opposite direction but idk the closest directors are probably yuasa and oshii

the rebuilds should just been entirely a slice of life series about the characters living in a commune

demon slayer is pretty much distilled shonen so it's no wonder it is crushing even though imo the manga is kinda ugly and boring. - early modern japan with swords and poo poo which is always a pretty popular setting - evil bad guys with different powers - very, very simple story that isn't packed to the brim with weird esoteric lore like the fate poo poo - nice but boring mc insert - enough grimdarkness for teens to think is cool - interspersed with enough "characters turn chibi and do whacky comedy!~" stuff not to overwhelm the audience with grimdarkness ufotable was also one of the first studios to really understand how to do digital fights (hint: an assload of 3D effects) that don't require an insane amount of labor hours. it makes good use of the medium
