The greatest movie of all time is an anime. How do you cope with it?

>i have never seen an anime film that genuinely tackles deep questions or themes.
Those are a dime a dozen, but that doesn't make them good just like live action movies aren't good just because they're trying to be intellectual.

>anime is designed to make mental 12 year olds think they're watching arthouse
Anime isn't designed to do anything differently from live action.

more like aniGAY

>Anime? I'm sorry, but when I look at the great names of Japanese cinéma; I think of Ozu, Naruse, Mizoguchi, Kobayashi, all masters of the medium in a manner that animation cannot replicate.

Anime can replicate live action better than live action can replicate anime.

Is there much of a market for live action adaptations of anime though?

netflix and JJ abrams seem to think so

>no mention of kurosawa as he is too mainstream
Ah, the mark of a true patrician Jap Kinophile. May your penis ever be engorged.

I meant it in the sense that anime can do almost everything live action can, but live action can't do as many of the things that anime can.

Movies that tackle deep questions, themes or ideas, philosophical or psychological, are only for brainlets who can't understand the concepts on imagination alone. It took rocky to convince a generation of brainlets that hard work in itself can be rewarding and can be worth it in the long run. Read a book instead. Books explain shit without just dressing up easy to understand concepts. Anime actually describes the ideas through dialogue more so than western film, that way it can go deeper and lead the viewer down paths of thought. On the other hand western films try to dress up existentialism or loneliness etc in the prettiest way then claim they're deep.

I wouldn't. It's a carttoon for kids, like all anime.

Based contrarians.

If you use the word "contrarian," you're literally an idiot. It's an invented concept by idiots with reddit sensibilities who are too fragile to deal with criticism of mediocre media that has widespread appeal.
It's a troubling manifestation of millennials' mental weakness. Seriously, the only people who would even entertain any "argument" involving the concept of being "contrarian" are weak, lazy idiots who can't deal with criticism substantively.
If it bothers you that much that people criticize mediocre mass-marketed work designed to appeal to the lowest common denominator, like Star Wars, Breaking Bad, Tarantino, etc., you should find a safe bubble and stay there(Yea Forums). Or kill yourself.

All this film has going for it is that it’s aesthetic pleasing.

The animation is incredibly inconsistent, there’s hardly any believable build up, the plot is incredibly contrived and poorly written.
A lot of terribly written and comically bad action. Shallow one dimensional characters , and plot devices that literally make no sense, so they feel cheap and unearned.
I flat out died laughing when one of the protagonist gunned down a train military guy in some futuristic death machine, it’s just laughable bad.
The ideas presented are interesting yeah, but it’s an objectively bad film outside of that.

Yeah except there's more material produced from the movies side therefore more good content. It's just more rich. It also helps that movies adapt books which are usually more raffined than, on the anime side, LN/VN/Manga
Also movie/tv are more accessible for new talents than anime

A boy falls in love with a girl.

Unable to confess, he is gifted by a deus ex machina with the girl's phone number. Never minding the strange area code, he immediately calls her, and is overjoyed to find out that she has a crush on him as well.

But, the next day, when he recounts the previous day's confessions to the girl, she only looks at him with a perplexed expression. After some investigation, he finds out that the girl he called is not the same girl he fell in love with. In fact, she doesn't exist in this universe at all. She is the girl's alternate universe counterpart, who has fallen in love with the MC's own AU self, who too is blissfully unaware of her crush.

Hijinks ensue as the two strike up a deal to give each other their darkest, most private secrets in order to equip the other with the weapons they need to conquer the heart of their other selves. While the two chase their respective loved ones, DRAMA ensues as they begin to fall in love with each other instead and question the NATURE of LOVE.

This is actually a good thing. Anime revenue coming from merchandising has been the single biggest thing killing the industry. Revenue moving away from merchandising means studios don't have to cater to the autistic NEETs who buy up their blu-rays and anime figurines. This means less samey moe and waifubait bulshit clogging up seasonal releases and more genre shotgunning in an attempt to appeal to western demographics. Won't guarantee quality, of course, but it will raise the likelihood that SOMETHING good will come out. More budget means studios can start being experimental again.

>I think there's actually way more "deep" anime than there are Western TV shows.

I'm actually not sure about this. A given anime is defiantly more likely to have far more ambition than a given random TV show, but most anime is still crap and there are just enough western 'prestige' shows to give the best anime a run for their money. For instance, Breaking Bad isn't what I'd put as a genuinely top tier show (I'd actually put the first season of Prison Break above it for what it's worth), but it's still better overall than 99% of anime.

Moving up a tier, there really aren't more than a handful of anime that I'd say are superior to something like Boardwalk Empire, and there are maybe perhaps a half-dozen that could properly compare to Lost or even the Sopranos.

There's something like 30+ new anime every three months and the level of creative freedom is way higher than in the West. All kinds of unusual shit gets made without having to worry about appealing to big audiences and running for years. There's more of an emphasis on making a short series that's focusing on some specific idea.

Cheer up user, the best way for the anime industry to fall out of creative stagnation is to recognize that their product is no longer a niche hobby for degenerate otakus, but a serious medium with broad international appeal. Money is entering the industry again, user. Things are looking up.

Attached: spepe spiegel.jpg (649x592, 158K)

It never went into creative stagnation, and otaku have always been just a bogeyman, a way for Westerners to explain things they don't understand and don't like. Money has been steadily increasing since 2013.

Nah, the ending drags on a bit and the mystical properties takes me out of it. Time travel is always weird in a movie, no need to combine it with body transfer too. 5 cm per Seconds was the better film. Still unbeaten in raw emotion to this day.

there may be a variety of CONTENT, but that does not mean there's been a variety in writing quality, in animation quality, in characterization, in theming, in virtue and in intent. barring a few exceptions, all anime in the past ten or fifteen years has been essentially the same product, despite having markedly different plots, premises and aesthetics. prove me wrong.

There has been variety in those areas, it's just that almost nobody in the West actually watches anything other than the occasional big hit like Hero Academia. Almost nobody is even aware of what is airing during any given season. Nobody pays attention to that shit. They just complain that everything is the same, even though they couldn't possibly know that because they don't watch anything.

If you're purely counting made for western commercial broadcast TV only shows, I'm not going to disagree, but if we're counting things more broadly and including cable/streaming along with various other sources, then these constraints go away. Anime is certainly more conceptually ambitious and you seldom see things as genuinely 'out there' in the genre bending extremes anime gets to outside of it, but this results in quality more rarely than it ought to.

>complains about seasonal garbage

>Almost nobody is even aware of what is airing during any given season.

Most of any given season is late night crap with some random gimicky premise or typical shounen-style battle or shoujo highshool drama otherwise.

Most seasonal anime is shit. Not all of it, but the majority of it absolutely. The premises of half of these shows are completely inane, and no I don't need to give a shit about the latest show where some dude is given a second life inside an RPG world.

na
try again

>Most seasonal anime is shit
i'm not an expert but does this even mean anything? are there anime that don't come out on the seasonal schedule or are you just labeling all the shit anime seasonal?

Your sister?

Seasonal anime is a meme. Seasonal doesn't mean anything. You are not saying anything. You are just mindlessly repeating a meaningless buzzword.

Most anime in any given season is somewhere between mediocre to ok. Most anime is not bad. This is a meme.

>I don't need to give a shit about the latest show where some dude is given a second life inside an RPG world.
Isekai is a meme. People who don't watch anime complain about it incessantly as if there was nothing else on the air. And as if every isekai was just magically bad for some reason. They've never watched them.

>are there anime that don't come out on the seasonal schedule

Ongoing children's shows generally aren't counted in most season charts.

Redpill me on this forced meme.

>no u
you're terrible at this.

Goal:
>convince anons that modern anime isn't all the same trash
Arguments to counter:
>despite a recent upsurge, anime has been stagnating in quality
>studios have been stagnating because of a need to lean on the lowest common denominator of their consumers in order to make money
>studio budget and industry market value is directly correlated with the quality of products
>disregarding the few exceptions, modern anime lacks true variety in quality
>modern anime has a problem portraying quality writing, quality animation, quality characterization, quality theming, etc. despite having a broad variety of plots, premises and aesthetics.
Your defense:
>attack credibility of adversaries
>accuse adversaries of ignorance
>attempt to convince adversaries that they are ignorant
>complain that westerners don't watch anime
>otakus don't real
>seasonal anime don't real
ethos attacks don't really work on anonymous imageboards, user, and your petty attempts at semantics are disingenuous. if your position is so self-evident, explaining it shouldn't be difficult. post the evidence.

>despite a recent upsurge, anime has been stagnating in quality
It hasn't.

>studios have been stagnating because of a need to lean on the lowest common denominator of their consumers in order to make money
The lowest common denominator is a meme and people have no idea what it even means. Late night anime is not made for the lowest common denominator--it is not mainstream--and anime is full of niche content that appeals to different people.

>studio budget and industry market value is directly correlated with the quality of products
Budgets don't seem to particularly vary, and budget isn't what determines quality.

>disregarding the few exceptions, modern anime lacks true variety in quality
There is a Grand Canyon-sized gulf in quality between ImoImo and Violet Evergarden. Why is that even supposed to be a good thing?

>complain that westerners don't watch anime
They don't.

>otakus don't real
Otaku are real, but what Westerners think of as otaku is totally made up. There are no such people.

>seasonal anime don't real
Seasonal does not mean anything.

The bottomnline is that you don't watch anime and have no idea what's going on, you just repeat shit you hear.

>and all of these things are true because I said so, therefore I win because I say I do
you sure showed me

You don't watch anime and don't keep up with what's going on, so stop pretending like you do. Go do something else with your time.

>LA LA LA LA YOU JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT user HAHAHA I WIN *plugs ears*
ok retard

Because you don't, and I don't understand why you people can't ever see that. How could you possibly have accurate knowledge of the state of anime if you don't watch it and don't even try to find out anything about it? How?

>I have no idea what this movie is but here's my hot take anyway

Apocalypse Now isn't an anime.

you are so fucking dense, dude. of course I watch anime, of course I keep up with the state of the industry -- but you are so fucking moronic that you completely ran with the assumption that I didn't, and decided to formulate your entire position on this one thesis that you couldn't and could never actually substantiate. you could have expressed your position in a way that's actually logical and coherent, but instead you decided to play gatekeeper and choose which opinions an "actual" anime watcher would hold. I WANTED to be convinced, but you seemed to have missed the point because you were too busy trying to convince yourself that I was too ignorant to even talk to you. the core problem here is that you and I have radically different ideas about what makes something "quality," predicating the entire argument upon our own subjective tastes and interests. We could have eventually landed at this point and agreed to disagree, but you were too blunt to even get there.

here's the thing: I could tell you about how I am an animator, I could tell you about my broad interest in the medium of animation from a historical and cultural perspective, I could tell you about all the fucking shows I slog through before inevitably dropping because all of it is fucking crap -- but none of this shit actually matters, because none of it actually contributes to my points or anything to the conversation at hand. pull your head out of your ass and stop being a fart-sniffing, gatekeeping faggot.

Wrong.

Yea its a really obscure and deep movie doubt he's ever heard of it

So, from what I see, animes are only good when they reference Apocalypse Now? I see.

>ran with the assumption that I didn't
Based on your posts, which very obviously give away the fact that you don't know shit. But you people are all like this--you just keep pretending, and you always put on this big show of being gravely offended that anyone would dare question your deep well of knowledge. Do you just latch onto anime because you need to be part of something and this is all you can come up with? What the hell is the deal with you people?

And whining about gatekeeping isn't doing you any favors either as that is the cliche shit spouted by redditors who are at best casual anime viewers and are offended that there are standards to being a fan and that not every opinion is correct.

>accusations of ignorance
>accusations of pretentiousness
>accusations of being reddit
damn, even after all that I've been completely incapable of baiting actual reason, logic and evidence out of you. I think I understand you a little better. You employ these ethos grabs so much because you yourself are insecure in your own ethos. You seem to be one of those kinds of people who is afraid to present things they actually like as examples of quality because they're afraid of being ridiculed for their taste. In another world, when you were having a better day or were feeling more confident in yourself, I like to believe you and I could have had a conversation where we realized we had something in common and formed an actual connection. Sadly, you're still too butthurt to even try. If deluding yourself into thinking you're the arbiter of opinions about the anime industry is how you cope, just keep on keeping on user.

Violet Evergarden sucked btw

Why are you people like this and why are there so many of you?

>taste
Yea Forums meme. Of course.

>Violet Evergarden sucked btw
Why did you feel the need to post this? I mentioned it over an hour ago only as an example of a quality gap between two anime. Did you think that I'm some super VEG fanboy just because I mentioned it and you just did an epic burn? What the fuck's wrong with you? Well I think I know what: it's popular on Yea Forums to shit on VEG for whatever reason, and you saw people do it so now you're doing it too. Because that's the extent of your involvement with anime.

Shut up

Stop shitting up my hobby with your larping.
