because i dont have a girlfriend and 3d is pig disgusting

I'm sorry, i wasn't aware that anime movies were not movies and that anime tv shows were not tv shows.
This is so confusing.

Anime is childish and immature. You must be mentally below 13 to enjoy anime.

>Why do you eat food when you can just eat shit?
What a thought provoking question.

You must be trolling.
Most anime contain deep themes that will fly over a 13 year old's head. You cannot truly appreciate anime without a fully developed brain.

>deep themes
Lmao

Because it makes me feel like a kid again.

Because movie and tv shows genuinely have worse quality and have too much censorship and far too many restrictions. Also, they enforce the idea that celebrities should be relevant and non-faceless. I find anime more genuine and realistic relative to what it is.

Almost all people are immature. Proof: you've just revealed yourself to be immature as well by posting a retarded comment like that, so you're either under 13 or I'm right.

can you recommend some movies tv shows that aren't shit?

Are you one of those fags who think eva is deep?

multiple reasons:
1. Anime is fun and not every adult grows out of fun
2. Modern film and television is pretty abysmal because leftist/post-modernists are so intent on subversion of effective storytelling to seem "original" or "progressive" that they throw the baby out with the bathwater and end up making something complete shit
3. Animation allows for essentially any subject matter. CGI in film generally looks terrible and lacks the artistry of traditional animation

Why do you post on 4channel when you can just post on le leddit?

Every anime fan should watch Twin Peaks

Even in Japan only children and creeps watch anime.

Different mediums offer different things. There are things that anime can do that other mediums can't do as well, and live action can offer things anime can't. Of course there are lames on here that exclusively watch anime.

What kinds of shows or movies would you be living to watch in terms of live action? If you want something that is a bit slice of life-y, the Little Forest adaptation is really nice (the Japanese version and not the Korean remake). Here's a clip from the intro: files.catbox.moe/ynp19k.webm

1. 3d people are ugly and not moe making them inherently unappealing to look at
2. live-action film/tv has been hijacked by degenerates who use it to celebrate vice and ugliness

Conclusion: live-action film/tv is rotten inside out and should not be watched.

Looks nice. I like that it's shot very much like an anime, with a bigger focus on composition rather than camera movement.

Why do you have to restrict yourself to one thing?

>live-action film/tv has been hijacked by degenerates who use it to celebrate vice and ugliness
Isn't it the same with anime tho?

Why watch anime, movies, or TV shows when you can read a book?
You literally can't convince me that any of the above are for mature, functioning adults.

I never understood questions like that, even as bait. Everything is different, not the same. Angel's Egg is a completely different thing to Cries and Whispers, yet I like them both for different reasons. Some shows and things only exist in anime, I won't find an exact clone of a show I like but in tv style (though even so, I like the art-style), I just don't get how can someone ask a question like that. It simply doesn't make sense.

It's not one or the other.

Because 3d films generally suck and all (modern) western entertainment sucks. I mostly read manga though.

Is that an insult? I love being experienced. It's like a praise.

damn none of those even from this century.

I'm asking like what non anime should I watch after work here in 2019?

only shows I have liked in years were: Stranger Things S1, first couple seasons of The Americans, and Better Call Saul. only movies I can think of were those movies written by Taylor Sheridan

He is talking about SJWs and feminists. Did you ever saw any pure cute girls in movies?

I barely watch movies, tv shows or anime. There's maybe one anime I watch per season if at all, and maybe one tv show per year if it's really good. I do watch a lot of youtube shit though.

No?

>Obsession with appearing like an adult

because anime is unironically more interesting and mature than live action television, especially american which is nothing but cuck drama soap garbage with different themes(medieval, zombies, gangster, etc.) these days.

or medieval zombie gangsters as in got

It doesn't try to shove PC shit down by throat and that's enough for me

>anime is deep
>it's must be EVA
holy shit you people are just insufferable as Harry Potter fans
watch another anime

Anime is for little kids and creeps. Anybody who thinks otherwise is the latter.

The left has hijacked the west so monumentally that even the counterculture run off of Japan is more sane than a primetime American television show. Anime is normalcy in a time where ugly is beautiful, weakness is strength and love is an illusion.

It's easy accessible entertainment for me to whittle away the remaining time before i finally decide to end it.
Looking for normie shit on pirate sites is a huge pain in the ass and I don't want to have to interact with them to shitpost about their media.

I believe that any right-winger who mistakes American liberals for left-wingers should be round up the shot, art was far more left wing than it is now. Hollywood trying to make money is the exact opposite of left-wing, you fucking idiotic leach to humanity.

Manga is superior to anime. There are so many good works that never will be adapted into an anime. And there also many great manga series that were butchered by adaptations. The only good anime series are usually either 4koma adaptations or anime originals.

GoT is normalfag garbage. Only redditors like that shit.

A truly mature adult can enjoy “immature” things without worrying about their “maturity” or what others think of them.

Based, HxH is unironically better than all the shit that aired in the past 2 years.

GoT was okay during the first season and has declined ever since to become a piece of utter shit.

Fuck off, moebuta.

So? At least normal people watch it.

I started watching anime at the age of 27, just for reference.

Western TV is shit and there's only a handful of shows that are actually worth bothering with. The rest forces you to waste 45 minutes of your life to watch a single episode, and somehow the writing, foreshadowing, metaphorical language etc. manage to be as bad as anime.
Western Films I've seen plenty and still watch, especially now that I've started to run out of worthwhile animation to consume. My anime consumption habbits have been reduced to watching college graduate short films and listening to Naruto OPs and EDs on loop.

I also watch a lot of western animation, albeit I try very hard to stay clear of American animation for obvious reasons. Personal interest in Japanese language and culture kinda adds to it, but I don't think they drive me. I could engage with Japan through live action. I've simply developed a very strong interest in animation and Japan just happens to produce more of it than anyone else. I love animation for what it is and can be. Never even felt the need to buy a design, setplay or costume book for live action film, yet my shelf already houses like 70 anime art books.

There are some good indian film, go watch 3idiots or slumdog.

Why do you keep making these trash threads?

At least it's popular somewhere. Anime is not even popular in its home country.

give me your good tv shows and I'll tell you why it's shit.

Both are trash. South Indian film industries are relatively better, they at least produce good musical talent.

It's one of the most anime TV shows there is.

Nostalgia mostly, watched alot of Anime as a kid... rewatch them and a few others now and again as an adult.

Honestly though, it feels nice rewatching those anime I watched as a kid, Gundam wing, Big O, Cowboy bebop, Ghost in the Shell, even Outlaw Star and Tenchi Muyo, its just nice to go back and watch them again every so often.

Anime is more popular than nip tv shows or movies.

>Nobody cares about them.
they were some of the most well known and influential directors in the world, directors all over the world hold high regard for them.

You are just incredibly ignorant.

Japanese are actually masters of film-making, when they actually do it for an artistic purpose, if you don't know about the Japanese tradition of film making then you don't know about Japan

I can enjoy both but there are more non shit anime than non shit western tv shows.

They're based on French cartoons which are obsessed with comic books and animatics. French are pretty good at camera work, perspectives, graphics, loose lineart.

Watching Japanese, French, Italian cartoons is like watching an animatic/a lagging animated comic book.

French couldn't into animation directing, even trash like Hannah Barbera's Scooby Doo has the characters reacting on time and has the lineart and shading done properly without use of effects. Only effects I remember the west using were colored light bulbs.

based

Fuck no, anime breaks every Disney animation rules

France also heavily inspired Japan after WW2 in terms of fashion trends.

France was the one obsessed with hair dye, outrageous fashion trends, sex revolution, grittiness, nudity, sex, etc.
Britain and France share a similar taste in comedy, art style, violent cliches like mind control, drama, soap opera.
Italy is a close second.

Why do you think every character in Japanese cartoons look nothing like asians and have outrageous fashion trends?

>every character

If the only anime you've ever seen is jojo then it's understandable that you'd hate anime

It started out being based on Disney in the 60s, now it’s completely different. That girl should have shown something from Disney from the 60s or before.
