/a/ - Anime & Manga

I'm watching Demon Slayer because Nezuko is sexy.
I like the concept of a professional group that hunts creatures of the night. Though it's very obvious that this story is going to fall prey to power scaling bullshit, very fast.

Currently watching through Video AI girl because I am lonely. 
**I fucking hate when looking it up I keep getting AI shit resultrs

I got done watching Boogiepop Phantom. It was good. Might give the other boogiepop stuff a watch.

Watching Rurouni Kenshin. Enjoying it so far despite the fillers episodes.
My only gripe with it is reading the manga and seeing alot of changes from it. 
Like one episode where it's just the boy in the mansion instead of his father who stopped being a samurai and became a merchant. Sucks I didn't get to see Kenshin just break a man's spirit but whatever.
I already know about the 2023 remake of it but looking at it I feel like it's missing something. 
Still it did get me interested in learning about various sword things like fencing again.
Sucks learning about the creator being arrested for possessing CP, I know separating art from the artist but holy fuck I wasn't prepared learn about that, I just wanted to find out more about his artwork
Hopefully I don't end up with katana autism and end up getting shot outside a hotel by cops when I'm done with this.

I wish she wasn't such a bitch

I have a theory that all 2D girls are just different avatars/representations of the same metaphorical or maybe even metaphysical entity/神(kami) of the general concept of a "2D girl"/"waifu".

((( Y*u ))) have an underdeveloped amygdala which makes you suffer from 'cute aggression'... It's common among non-Whites.
The best cure is a bullet to your brain, it's really effective.

If you didn't think you wasted your time learning a language you'll never be able to apply in real life, you wouldn't have to cope this hard.

>you'll never be able to apply in real life
If you dedicate a considerable portion of your life to Japanese media, that's "applying in real life", duh.
Of course it would be a waste of time to learn if you're not super into this, which I mentioned in my post (first line).

To be a GOAT anime, it has to capture the distilled essence of what anime can be. My kneejerk reaction would be to say Akira, but the cyberpunk setting is too limiting. It definitely has the best animation, though.

Maybe… FLCL? I can’t think of anything else that really nails that immutably ‘japanese’ feel that it does. It’s not the BEST anime, but it’s the most ‘anime’ anime.

>>985
Just because it captures some Japanese weirdness doesn't mean its the best, quality is important too
Try to think of an anime with the criteria you're describing, but also fucking outstanding if possible

>>986
Where does FLCL genuinely falter? In regards to art and animation, it’s stood up very well. It’s OVA-quality, the handful of CG scenes are cel shaded and practically indistinguishable from the traditional animation. 
Like I said, it’s not Akira or GOTS-tier, but it’s better than practically everything of its era that wasn’t out of Ghibli.

it's a kid who falls in love with a promiscuous alien woman while his brother's used good gf wants his shota dick

Clannad.
It's not very deep, but it's so genuine that it's hard not to feel something, I watched it when I was at my lowest, and now almost three years later I'm sure glad I did.
You're not gonna learn anything new but you might ask yourself "what am I doing" if you're in the gutter.
