My favorite Manga is Death Note.
What's yours?
Oh boy... for me it's a tie between Kaguya-sama, Bloom Into You, Blue Period, Horimiya, and Girl's Last Tour. There's a whole more I could name if I wanted to, but it wouldn't fit in here :p
Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind... it is very good and not too long, 7 volumes, and much better than the more well known movie adaptation directed by it's author

It's considered an anime in Japan, but not in America, since the Japanese word アニメ is not limited to Japanese animation.
>>173
Actually Japanese animation is in fact classified (by the viewers and reviewers if not the producers and TV stations) as shounen, shoujo etc, though there are obviously a large number of shows that defy this classification system. Are you going to argue that anime is never targeted to a specific audience? If so, I will have to laugh in your face.
KORRA is hot; fire-bend!
ATLA is too good to be anime
If we're going by actual definition, every animated show counts as anime, since anime tends to refer to animation in general. But in this context, I wouldn't say AtlA is anime, at least not Japanese anime.
Is this anime?

Reviving this old thread, sorry. Would you consider the new season/reboot of Bee and Puppycat an anime? While it was originally an American show, it's now a co-production between Frederator and OLM.
>>24
And you're also underage now, making them the pedos.
Also if pedos get off to lolis it's all the more reason to let it be. Pedos getting off to drawings is way better than pedos getting off to child porn or going to kindergartens or something

Who the fuck doesn't like moe? Especially if you like loli.
>>31
Moe anime is just fanservice fluff (yes even the early 2000s shit people on tumblr post dithery .gifs of). Unless it's an actual well written series with good animation it's trash made to sell as many figurines as they can before the show becomes another forgettable flavor of the month
Remember when anime was good? Anime was never good.

because only white people are not pedophiles, that's why
I wish there were more cute kindergarteners in my anime.
For example, assuming >>0's favorite was Looney Tunes: That's not an anime, dumbshit. However, it is crippled by lack of a central plot, nonexistant character development, and inability to focus on a single set of characters.
My fave: Higurashi no Naku Koro ni
No protracted arguments in this thread please, just keep it going.
Pretentious, stretched out arthouse indie film; online fanbase is full of sexually confused underaged html "devs"

Neither "Nothing to niipah about" nor "Star Drek: Pick-ass (Star Trek: Picard)" sound like titles to good anime.

Generic anime about a girl with big boobs
Martian Successor Nadesico
A vast number of late '90s hentai artists wasted their prime years ritualistically drawing Ruri Hoshino's homely physique, again and again, when they could have been wielding their masterful talents upon much hotter anime babes like Misato Katsuragi. The vintage porno losses that humankind suffered on account of Martian Successor Nadesico's existence are nigh incalculable.
Cutey Honey Flash
This season I'm watching:
- Occultic;Nine
- Flip Flappers
- Keijo
- Shuumatsu no Izetta
Occultic is really fun so far, I like the fast-paced mystery and demon stuff that's going on. Of course, Ryo-tas is a delightful and dumb titty monster beyond belief, but she's cute.
Flip Flappers is great, very well animated and very cute. Papika's an adorable dummy. Pure Illusion and the fight scenes are cool.
Keijo is what it is: a show where women fight with their butts.
I haven't started Izetta yet, but I heard it's quite nice.
So, what are you watching?
Admittedly I'm still getting caught up on the classics. I started Cowboy Bebop and it's really great so far. Sorry if you were more interested in talking about things this season.
>>2
That's fine. I watched Bebop years ago and, admittedly, the show as a whole never stuck with me. I'm normally not too big on episodic shows unless I'm watching them as they come out. I should give it another go sometime.
>>3
I haven't watched a ton of anime but something about the characters and setting is really neat to me. I feel like it stands out against a lot of shows that try to be way brighter I guess? It's hard to explain, maybe I'll be able to articulate a little better once I watch more.
>>4
You should check out Outlaw Star afterwards. It's a pretty similar show.
>>1
All good selectionn.
Flip Flappers is probably top of the season for me, it's refreshing to see visually loaded, ballsy abstract anime, so out of the line from the usual cookiecutter moeblob. Although the main plot thread could use less obscurity in favor of more sophistication, everything else about this anime is so ridiculously good I can't really fault it.
As for my current watchlist:
Little Witch Academia - we expected Harry Potter anime adaption, and we're getting a really good one. The only fault is that the plot is kind of less than original...
Gi(a)rlish Number - Akira Kogami from Lucky Star got her own slice of life anime, and it's awesome exactly as it sounds.
Some older series I started from my backlog:
for a chat the interval between messages is pretty fucking vast, oh well, I, Andre Arstro, shall enlighten this dying board.
I was rewatching naruto recently, it gave back nice memories, even some fillers are now funny to me, I used to hate them before.
Hunter ROBIN, pretty nice anime.
Pawn Stars, amazing anime, the characters are very unique and there is a lot of deep meaning in the plot. Especially the nicknames of characters and short simple characters you can relate to.
Have you ever realized how unnatural and cringy the dialogue is in a lot of anime?
When I was a teen, I used to watch loads of moeblob anime and thought it was nice and cute etc. but then my irl Japanese friend told me that nobody actually talks like this in Japan except chuunis and manchildren.
Then I started paying closer attention to what the characters were saying, their mannerisms, etc. And now I've come to the point where I can't even watch an anime without cringing, unless the dialogue is realistic.
Does anyone else here feel the same?
>if you listen closely to the dialogue in a lot of movies you'll notice it's quite stilted and doesn't really sound much like how real people speak, even movies with good actors
Especially movies with good actors.
There is a reason, why a genre called "mumblecore" exists.
Isn't this a copypasta? I swear I heard the same thing about the AVGN.
>>22
It reads like a pasta, but I've been seeing a surprisingly large amount of non-pasta critiques on AVGN/Nostalgia Critic/TGWTG/(etc) that runs along the same lines as of late. This is especially true since Mister Metokur released his series on TGWTG and related parties.
Not super surprising, all things taken into account, since AVGN/TGWTG was largely something that Millenial/early Zoomer kids would watch in their teens. That particular generation has always struck me as being incapable of realizing that some of what they enjoyed in the past is stupid and letting bygones be bygones, so they tend to let out that particular neurosis by reeing about it on the Internet instead. lol
I love media that embraces a distinction between realistic speech and dramatic speech. I don't care if it's not realistic. It is a dramatic form. It is inherently artificial. It should embrace that and pull all the tropes that make us like it to begin with.
Moreover anime nor movies are reality they simple narrate a reality. Now how well they script it is what makes it appealing and even that is subject to change as it becomes aged
2d girls do not speak like 3d girls because 2d girls are cute and 3d are not.
this is still one of my favourite threads ever on here

Ok, you're depressed. That sucks I guess.
>>5 this is perfect comparison. We, westerners, depict animals as animals and don't compare ourselves. But they depict themselves and their culture and LOOK DIGUSTING, that is so true.

RevolutionofEva Reupload- The Guns of Evangelion Parts 1-7
>Evangelion brought incredible realism into an unrealistic genre.
no, i don't understand a damn thing in that anime, it's pure shit
>>31 is pure shit
It's a monster-of-the-day show until episode 14, then it completely changes the style of the show and becomes about depression and failing to live up to everyones expectations of you and loneliness and the inability to open up to other people because you're scared of being hurt.
Naturally, weebs and NEETs can relate heavily to it, and think it's the best thing ever. (As a 29 year old NEET virgin weeb myself, it's one of my favorite pieces of media, along with Welcome to the NHK.)
Gunbuster is better than Eva. So is Diebuster, for that matter, though Tsurumaki directed that one instead of Anno.
Eva only gets so much praise because it's babby's first "mature" anime and one of the only mecha series (along with Gurren Lagann) that most normalfags will ever watch.
Its more about the characters than plot.
neither does anno.
no, its garbage, you're not alone. Only degenerates liked that show, later on Gurren Lagann was made anyway, so its like this show's a shitty perverted degenerate version of Gurren Lagann that thinks arrogantly it's philosophical and smart and shit.
This is not a drill. Hopes? Fears? Expectations? Will TeddyLoid return to do the music? Are they going to ruin Christmas again?
Why westerners like season 1 so much? This is a show that tried to jew the viewers by seriously downgrading the art quality, and only westerners whose animation was already very jewed by the most horrendous looking abominations imaginable didn't see it as a serious downgrade.
Fuck I miss the x-men cartoon, that was the shit. Everything went to shit at some point after that.
My only hope is that it gets canceled right after ep1! ( ´ ▽ ` )
>>2 you're kind of exaggerating too much, I mean they are newly formed company and don't have much budget to begin with, and again from all companies GAINAX and Trigger are the ones that should be least kiked.
>>39
I think it's a good show, but I love drama shows so lack of fighting is not a problem for me.

Watching some pussydrama while you practically gave up on ever having children is irritating, watching somebody die over and over is much more satisfying. Original Fate Stay Night vn is practically a "hey kid, want to experience 50 exciting ways to die in first person?". Everything feels like a downgrade after that.
