Thinking Evangelion is good is contrarian

When did you grow out of your angsty teen phase and realize Eva is just ok?

There’s nothing more ‘teen’ than liking Evangelion

This anime is adult as fucks.

Disliking Eva proves you're the hikikomori it was aimed at

What is adult about dawson’s creek with ultraman fights?

Nadesico is better.

I'm basically a theory-loving arthouse film buff who also enjoy watching low brow poppy entertainment because postmodernism. My taste does not always coincide with what is considered as the "elitist's taste" because many of the "anime classics" simply looks middlebrow for me: not avant-garde enough to be compared with the modernist works of Tarkovsky, but also not vulgar, playful or energetic enough to be compared with the postmodernist works of Tarantino. They're decent but decency is just a decent name for mediocrity. That's why Evangelion is my favourite anime. It transcends the medium's shackle.

This better be a pasta

i like it but it's not the best, or at least not my favourite

highly cringe

I thought liking eva was the teenage phase. It shows itself more than ever again now that the netflix release came out.

then tell us what do you call an "adult" anime? some pretentious shit nobody know?

it's the beatles of anime desu

SoL with loli suportning chapter after is the pinnacle of the medium of anime/manga. Any plebeian who disagrees should just off themselves.

>the peak of a medium is teenager trite
So anime is a shit medium?

Yes, most anons understand the objective truth that manga>>>>>>>>>>>anime.

It was good.
Really fucking overrated though.

>some pretentious shit nobody know?
As opposed to "pretentious shit everyone knows" like Evangelion?

Can we stop using pretentious as a stand-in phrase for "smart anime I don't like and want to appear totally above liking"?

Teenagers are the people who appreciate art the most, adults have other occupations like career or family. Therefore art quality should be measured by its reception by teenagers.

No, just Evangelion.

Its really good but its far from the best.

The fact that so many books
