I hate all anime I've ever come in contact with an all people who watch it should be fuckin gassed immediately,
but people keep insist that it can sometimes be kino and point to these two as their main examples.
Is it true? Are they worth watching or is it more weeb shit that's gonna make me nuke Japan a 3rd time?
And are there others that are genuine kino?
I like Akira but it’s a manga the size of several phonebooks compressed into a two hour narrative so it’s a bit nonsensical. I thought GiTS was pretty slow and boring outside of a couple cool scenes
Well I'm not a woman so I don't give a fuck about muh story.
Is it actual kino though?
No. Watch Vampire Hunter D, watch LoGH, watch Berserk 97. If you like those you can come back and ask for more.
woah, wtf I like anime now
Inferior to the manga visuals of the same arc
Liked it but I wanted a bit more character writing.
>Inferior to the manga visuals of the same arc
Now that's an observation.
>static drawings are visually superior to stills from their animated adaptation
no fucking way are you sure?
>a bunch of stills
Of course. The animation itself is clunky and low-budget.
Berserk anime is low-budget and has generic artstyle.
I like Berserk and this collage is kino but many of those are literal still budget cut bullshots where there is no actual animation.
Dishonest representation of how it looks most of the time.
I can't tell what bluray on Amazon is this version. I'd like to buy or see online
The blu ray was only released in Japan. US only got it on DVD
Fuck... Well, I am learning Japanese. Can it be ordered on Amazon Canada? Which one is it, please?
Yeah.

Redpill me on Vampire Hunter D.
Brainlet. Maybe Attack on Titan is more your speed?
>Redpill me on Vampire Hunter D.
Not that anon but the 2000 one is a fun movie with fantastic animation. It's the definition of a fun adventure and it also has a hot tomboy
Not-Elric in a post-apocalyptic Western world full of monsters.
You don't think a film should have a good and coherent story?
>story unimportant
literal mouth breathing troglodyte
In real cinema, HOW you tell the story matters far more than the contents of the story.
If my focus was just the story I'd read a book instead (those rectangular paper things you see white people looking at, you fuckin nagger)
>films shouldn't have a story
>just explosions and karate muh daddy tol me
>none of that homosexual narrative shit
sounds like you have trouble following information, have you tried vyvance and therapy from your dad diddling you
>movies are either muh story or just explosions and karate
funny how all it took was mentioning anime in the OP for all the brainlet naggers to flock to the thread
you aren't white either if that's an opinion you hold, you might be an amerimutt. You might want to watch the latest marvel movie.
>I don't give a fuck about muh story.
Don't watch it null, you would be forced to gas yourself immediately
Those two are mid, animation aside.
Watch the original Legend of the Galactic Heroes show.
Logh is boring.
Maybe if you are a low Testosterone retard.
yor a woman or somth :l
it's not, you just need to get on trt
No. It's all shit.
Stay the fuck out of my favourite medium.
You'll pozz it with your normiecunt ways.
>you torrenting my favorite movies and watching them alone on your semen-covered laptop will ruin them
fair
Bro he is recc'ing lotgh, anyone who watches that is automatically more cultured than most anime fan.
It was kino back in the day when it was new, rare and pretty much all cyberpunk.
You had to be there for Akira. In 1990, when I first saw it, it was fucking amazing. Ghost in Shell is ok, but it was already part of the first wave of slop. A better example is Cyber City Oedo 808. Basically 80s and early 90s anime. They were still experimenting then. The rest is souless weaponized slop.
99% of 80s and 90s is boring slop as well ngl.
You know, a lot of it is, sure. But there was something new and fresh about it, and people took risks. That led to some good shit. And not all of it was entirely Japanese either. But that was basically 40 years ago.
That's cope. Changing the voices to screeching children doesn't automatically make a movie better.
I was just saying because I've watched some 80s anime other than the recommended ones and they've largely been trash.
> Ulysse31.
I can't believe the french went from that to shlock like wakfu.
>Changing the voices to screeching children doesn't automatically make a movie better.
In this case the Japanese audio sounds more reserved and reflective while the English dub sounds cheap and cartoonish
I wish the French would put that book about "80s DiC'" into English
Yes those are both good
What anime have you seen?
not sure honestly, had to sit through a few episodes of random stuff with my weeb friends.
Studio Ghibli had a few that were watchable that weren't super childish like Wind Rises, Mononoke, and Grave of Fireflies, though I do prefer the look of their 80s stuff more
thats about it
So you liked the Ghibli films and your basis for hating all anime is just a couple of episodes of random shit your weeb friends showed you?
Most weebs are fucking retards with shit taste so chances are they showed you some slop like My Hero Academia. That's like watching a Marvel movie and writing off all american films. There are plenty of great anime
>some slop like My Hero Academia
Show sucks but Season 6 is fun.
>Most weebs are fucking retards
I feel like this about most of the media consumers. I think we should go back in time when only the rich or educated were allowed to consume media.
>like watching a Marvel movie and writing off all american films
honestly not a bad strategy
monster, deathnote, parasyte, lotgh are all kino
>monster, deathnote, parasyte
No.
If you didn't include monster I might think you actually have taste and a point.
I rather rewatch Hannibal, at least that show looks good. Monster doesn't even sell it's pseudery.
Ghost is worth watching but watch it in Japanese with subtitles. The English dub loses a lot of the atmosphere of the movie.
Japanoids can't voice act. it's just screeching. Plus all cartoons are Dubbed...its not like cartoons are real people
If you want kino with good writing and directing, and no cringy trannimeisms, watch any satoshi kon movie. Save Tokyo Godfathers for Christmas.
>satoshi kon
>good writing
His directing is good and he clearly understands color theory in animation but his writing is kind of sloppy. If he was a real movie director his movies would be considered mediocre.
So mediocre two Hollywood directors ripped him off
That doesn't mean anything. Hollywood has been a trash machine for a while.
Shitmericunts and the Crapanese are kindred spirits in that they both steal other culture's shit. It's in their blood. Doesn't make either talented or good.
Watch all Satoshi Kon movies
Akira, no. GITS yes.
Akira is just animation porn and a really angsty story. GITS is more story and has occasional animation porn. The anime adaptation of GITS (2nd gig) is the best of both worlds.
Check out Paprika and Perfect Blue if you hate the usual dogshit anime. Those tried and generally succeeded as films.
ghost in the shell is dank. akira has good visuals but i hate the faggy face aesthetics.
yes, but you would like someone who still listens to Godsmack so there's no way you'll be able to appreciate true art.
never heard of Godsmack
Violet Evergarden > GitS
>weeb shit
weeb shit is literally an animated form of some Japo's mental illness and Incelisms. Falling into played out tropes and cliches, constantly swapping out characters with sexier versions of ideal female characters
Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Cowboy Bebop, and pretty much most Ghibli films are the exception as they strive for a 'higher art' style which stands apart from the played out animations. These films aren't 'weeb shit'.
>Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Cowboy Bebop
Perfectly encapsulate millennial mediocrity. This kind of trash is why they are such an abhorrent generation.
>Ghibli films are the exception
I can agree with the rest but with like 3 exceptions, ghibli shlock are cliche as fuck. Always reusing the same characters and themes.
>Always reusing the same characters and themes.
I watch ghibli for the art style, he's the only filmmaker alive that I know of who still makes anything that looks like that.
His stories, characters, dialogue are okay, nothing special but nothing terribly offensive either. Just background for the actual kino
>I watch ghibli for the art style, he's the only filmmaker alive that I know of who still makes anything that looks like that.
You do you. But for me something has to have good writing if it wants to be a kino. Of course if the hack was making art house anime like angel egg I would consider it kino as well but since he isn't I don't think I've watched a movies of his that was more than a 6/10.
You've barely see any anime. Have you seen lotgh? Monster?
Why can't you just ignore Jap shit?
> claims all anime is shit
> hasn't watched anime
DBZ is kino. The rest of anime is pretentious shit for teenagers
Only an 85 IQ DBZ spic would call cartoons pretentious
You probably think spongebob is pretentious too
DB > DBZ > GT > Super
Why are people that dislike anime so obsessed with wanting to like them? You have enough movies to last you a lifetime. Go enjoy them and leave anime out of the equation.
I didn't read this thread. I generally hate anime and its fanbase. Akira is worth watching. There are also some really good Ghibli movies
I"d consider both of those you be extremely overrated. Try Demon Slayer I keep getting amazed by that one. If you don't like that one anime probably just isn't for you but I think you'll really like it
>Saturday morning cartoon tier slop
Back to /a/, shonen simp
Jormungand > Black Lagoon
Wicked city is very good and its old. Way better than akira. Gits and standalone complex are great. Hellsing and hellsing ultimate is pretty good. Prison school is great.
>Prison school is great.
Haha, femdom coomedy so funny.
I enjoyed it. I also liked keijo.
>Wicked city is very good and its old.
Watched it with a friend. The action directing was as good as you can get in animation, same with most of Yoshiakis's stuff, but the plot was the same tired B movie tier plot that all of these adult ovas/movies from that era had
Best studio in the business.
>I hate all anime I've ever come in contact with an all people who watch it should be fuckin gassed immediately,
Agreed. Start with yourself, homosexual dweeb.
We've had already this thread 10000 times. You have a life. Go enjoy it. Don't try to force yourself into watching something that you dislike in principle.
These two plus Princess Mononoke and Jin-roh
I like the aesthetic of this one a lot
If you recommend this tell me your top 3 animes and if you're a woman/gay so I know if I can trust you
Well, it's shoujo. But it's pretty good and very well made. Top 3 anime are probably LoGH, Magi and Berserk. And I'm a straight white guy.
>Well, it's shoujo
That's why I asked if you're gay or a woman
>Top 3 anime are probably LoGH, Magi and Berserk
Good taste I'll probably check this one out
It has nordic folklore inspiration.
You mean Magi the Labyrinth?
>You mean Magi the Labyrinth?
Labyrinth and Kingdom, yeah.
I've only met girls who disliked Akira.
Meet better people.
CHADgon CHAD Z is the definition of kino
GitS: Stand Alone Complex is one example of an anime for grownups.
Such a shame arise was fucking garbage and psycho pass dropped the ball after season 1, nothing else tries to do anything similar
Psycho Pass gave me similar vibes to GitS but only in S3 since the newish cast actually had that "professionals doing their job" feel to it. 2045 actually wasn't as dogshit as people say imo but I guess the animation was a turn off for most people.
I recommend reading the original manga if you liked SAC, it's actually closer in tone to that than the movie by Oshii.
Ergo proxy and Witch hunter robin
>but they are both garbage
Ok, but they are still examples of what you were asking.
Perfect Blue and Paprika are pretty good.
those two are old movies and unwatchable anymore, fuck them, i hate anime too, but blue eyed samurai is ok, lol
skip Ghost in the Shell 1
and immediately watch Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence
Akira is good
fuck off
Worst anime advice EVER
Ninja scroll is good and a classic. If you dont like ninja scroll then well Im not sure Id want to even look at you
Ghost in the Shell is actually just slop. I only point to Akira as something redeemable.
pic related is me btw
Cardcaptor Sakura is comfy relaxing kino.
Ghost in the Shell is great, the haters can lick a taint.
But reality is, OP should think of himself. Read a synopsis and see if it looks interesting. If it doesn't, move on. You shouldn't rely on random strangers online.
You have posted 2 of the very few worth watching. I grew up on Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z but if you want to try more. The Golgo 13 anime series is good if you like 007, John Wick, Hitman or Leon the Professional
There is quite a high number of good anime more than all of the good animated series from all other countries combined. Start from the 70s with AnJ, RoV, Lupin, Takarajima, Mirai Shounen Conan, Kidou Senshi Gundam, Uchuu Senkan Yamato and Akage no Anne
naruto best anime of all time
i stopped watching anime at 18 so i don't care
Ghost in the Shell is just good all around. Akira looks good but as a story its kinda fucking awful. I'm not sure if it was just compressed for a manga adaptation, but I've never understood why people circlejerk such a weird half assed story. Otherwise again, it looks incredible.
No, stay filtered and fuck off forever because we are full. We don't need anymore ironic weebs, just like how any other hobby doesn't need any poser homosexuals. You can fuck off out of Cinemaphile while you're at it
>I hate all anime I've ever come in contact
Same, that's why I stopped bothering with anime and switched to medium. I find most anime is turbo cringe. Take the manga pill anon, it's better overe here. Not only do you get to appreciate great art in a superior medium but you can flaunt your superiority over anime fags.
Memories
Now and Then, Here and There
First one is great. Second one is forgettable third was memorable but I fell asleep. Is what it is
For me, its Tekkonkinkreet
ugly
I hate this author and his embarrassing pseud manga.
Takemitsuzamurai is unfiltered kino you retard.
I don't know shit about this series, I just know a guy who used to post in my late 2000s niche forum was obsessed with this and used it as his signature and profile pic and he was the most obnoxious retard on the entire forum.
akiras good and i dont watch anime. Its animated really well. Its from the 80s and still looks better then most modern stuff. And for the dubs, they went and re animated the lips. So you can warch it in english, french, german, and the lips match what you hear
people who read the manga itself are pretty iffy on it, because its huge, 6 books, like a thousand pages. Every character you see in the movie has enough pages to be its own movie. Its like turni;g lord of the rings, plus the hobbit into a 30 minute short. Its done well, but when you see the clowns getting like 15 minites screen time, it might be disapointing.
99.99% of Manga/Anime is absolute dog shit. I know people say "90% of anything is dog shit" but anime is even worse.
You really only need to watch and/or read 3 or 4 Japanese Cartoons and then just stop because it just loops after that.
I can't tell if people that say this are baiting.
>noooooo not my precious cartoons from Japan
Really just watch 4 or 5 anime movies or read 4 or 5 manga and just call it a day afterwards. the entire country has nothing else to say.
No, he's basically right. Varying tastes will mean there's a little wiggle room but really, there's maybe 20 or so total that are considered the greats and are the only ones that get recommended. Just look at the posts in this thread: everyone is only recommending one to three at a time.
>20
Man you can't even count right. I refuse to talk with someone that hasn't finished elementary school.
Boy do I have an anime for you OP
99% of the tranime i was tricked into watching was juvenile cookie cutter garbage but Akira was actually ok. Ghost in the shell was boring ass shit tho, something like some fat smelly nerd would call "deep"
I dont know what your bitching about if you browse Cinemaphile. Your already in 99% shit. Whats hard to get. Just find the good shit.
@192305580
Man you should try harder for that (you)s. I know that your whore of a mother doesn't give you attention but still.
those are the only two anime I ever watched and that's good enough for me
Spriggan is a mix of both and it's not very well known, psychic power villain, super soldier programs, brainwash into killing machines.The way the action flows it feels very western.This part really sells it
?si=eRFnljKwKzVoShFv
Have you tried Boku no Pico? It's pretty hard hitting stuff about the human condition and I believe it's more important today than when it was released.
Anime sucks.
Akira is not interesting. The plot is not interesting. The animation is full of lazy colorization mistakes.
Have not seen any other Anime, since Akira is allegedly the best it has to offer, and it sucks.
