Why is everyone who namedrops canonized filmmakers a midwit?

I'm talking about those guys who go "You think Tarantino and Nolan are great? You should watch movies by Ozu, Godard, Tarkovsky, etc..." I've interacted with these "cinephile" types but they never have anything interesting or illumanating to say about any of these directors. It's all just superficial praise and some meme buzzwords like Brechtian or Kafkaesque. Then I look at guys who enjoy kung fu flicks and seem them break down the action choreography and direction and you actually gain insight into the technical elements of filmmaking and why it works. /film/ is a great example of this midwittery. I have never seen a single insightful post on any film there. It's all just glorified namedropping.

        That shot in the trailer literally got me to watch Cowboy Bebop. Shame it was just a tease.

              it's not my favourite anime but I'd say its the most high quality I've seen, favourite anime is patlabor
              what would you say the best anime is?

              the other show I'd put it against is season 2-8 of the simpsons but you can't really isolate seasons like that

                Original Legend of the Galactic Heroes (1988) by far the best one. Ousama Ranking and Violet Evergarden come close. Hunter x Hunter (Madhouse) and Magi (Labyrinth and Kingdom of Magic) are pretty good too. I've also come to enjoy Haikyu!! a fair bit.

                I've had my eye on it but the artstyle is quite grotesque. What does it offer other than the weird style?

                Kino ping pong obviously, the art style is unique and plays to its strength, it's not ugly just to just stand out. Good music(better than haikyuu imo), characters are fleshed out and don't feel like an afterthought, and heart pumping games, probably the best I've seen(major, haikyuu, kuro basket etc for reference)

                Okay. Sounds good. I'll give it a try. Have you seen Moribito, Jormungand or Grimgar? All well made and all with a reasonable amount of meat on their bones.

                logh I've always heard a lot about but I hear mixed things about it, I'll probably never watch it because I can't stand space opera shite. Especially after watching all of gundam up until CCA
                never watched Ousama Ranking or Violet Evergarden but I'll give them a download rn

                hxh always seemed like typical shounen bs to me which is fine but hxh doesn't look as cool as dragon ball or yyh

                LoGH is more like Alexander The Great in space than anything Gundam. It has a ton of very likable characters and gives a good showcase of both the flaws of a democratic and an authocratic system. It's not perfect because it doesn't really comprehend the reality of religion aside from how it can be used fraudulently but the characters, music (mostly classical) and overall atmosphere make up for it.

                HxH isn't a typical shounen. It's very subversive but not in a destructive way. It has also has a highly praised later Arc which makes the whole show worth watching, despite the issues with its pacing. Music is really good too.

            Are you shitting me Black person yeah I literally like goblin slayer himself and think he's the man but I couldn't make it more than a few episodes in, goblin slayer barely does anything and it's all about those other whacky annoying jerkoffs. Better than Baki and One Punch? You're fricking delusional m8.

              The way the show focuses on his methodology killing those nasty greens is what makes it peak 'tism kino.

                Yeah. If it was just that it might even be up there with Baki.
                But that happens for like 11 seconds once every few episodes.
                When GS killed those baby goblins I was cackling, GS is great and he looks sick, but he looks like he's from another show entirely, maybe that's the intent but the other characters are too annoying for me.

                It's more than 11 seconds. You have it with every encounter + planning beforehand. The other characters are there to take the edge off a little. It's some DnD adventurer group which actually has decent dynamics.
