none of my post-2020 favorites are on this list

If you enjoy shounenshit as an adult over the age of 18 you are mentally retarded.

I refuse to watch incomplete adaptations when I could just read the manga instead
but I have seen most of the originals on there. even with its fucked ending, I loved great pretender

16 out of 50 are decent/good

Watch more anime before posting here faggot.

I got bored, could probably make it longer

And manga isn't only about the art, yet that doesn't justify the mutilation of your medium for the sake of including yourself in its' catalog.
Togashi turned hxh into a glorified visual novel during the succession arc, which is just as bad as the blue lock anime being a glorified slideshow.
The point of a medium is to draw out its strengths, which are the insanity of its characters, the dynamism of play and the visual manifestation of strategic concepts in blue lock's manga.
They failed to achieve this vision in the adaptation and made a bad product.
Animation not being the sole linchpin for anime in general doesn't mean that it isn't precisely what was necessary to translate blue lock's essence into animated form.

animators have a hard job and are underpaid, please understand

I was born in 2006
I've watched over 1000 animes
None of them are on your list
Bye faggot

Shit taste.

Quality of animation isn't about pay, but time.
Kyoani pays its' employees the same as any other studio, but the difference is that they, compared to blue lock's studio, give them the necessary time to animate a work properly.
My point is that blue lock has insufficient merit to consume as an anime while you can at least praise the manga for certain aspects and should thus resort to consuming the latter.

I didn't fully watch any of these.

Who asked?

Maybe if you didn't act like a faggot while recommending genuinely good anime, people would actually watch it.

And just like that I can safely disregard your post.

Dire

Better

NEETs still act like a thousand anime is an achievement

after the industry pumped out 50-100 series a quarter for 25 years

only about 10% of them being any good

defiantly refuse to watch any of the good ones

Is tell you to get a job but you wouldn't get to this state if you were employable

Holy shit all this stupid trash and still no Pluto, Vinland Saga S2, Tatami, DeDeDe, Shuumatsu Train, Edomae Elf, or Gekidol. Truly a lost cause.

Pluto

what did he mean by this

Are you retarded?

how is pluto not trash?

You could have just said yes.

no argument

I don't argue with retards.

keep enjoying your cryporn then

you're doing it wrong. a simple typo isn't a sign of an esl poster, it needs to be some grammatical error or stilted english that no native speaker would use

Using a nu-Anon Babble term like slop is also a sign of either a zoomer or an indian.

It would be nice to have a newgood chart that isn’t just a MALscore thing but a chart is better than nothing.

sorted by score

What score? Depending on the answer I may call you a faggot and tell you to hang yourself.

The faget OP.

frieren

dungeon meshi

bokuyaba

insomniacs

dorohedoro

OP might be homosexual, but there is good stuff in there.

likes girls band crap

thinks his opinion matters

Lol, lmao even

20’s is still too fresh and controversial. Let’s see some 10s charts that aren’t just 2010-2013.

i watched some of frieren and solo leveling, because mfs wouldnt shut up about them, and man both were pretty uninteresing.

does being a pretentious snob make you feel good?

Both have very understandable appeal even if you don’t personally like them.

why do you think im a snob

no Sonny Boy

in the trash it goes.

Snobby boy

garbage ending, garbage characters

crazy how you can see how this list is better than OP purely from the main visuals.

Some of these like Frieren, Ranking of Kings and Kongming fall off hard in the second half. That said there is some good stuff here.

It's literally true about everything, old good new bad won. Cope.

I'm so sorry for OP-kun guys, he posted some bullshit no one cares. Here is some proper list.

Fuck that. I haven't wanted to watch something with a plot since I was like 24. I'm here to creep now.

shitty list everyone has seen 100 times

doesn't even name the few good pre 2k anime

*yawn*

Old good chart

I’ve already memorized this one.

Stop playing AAA

implying aa and indieslop are better when you can enjoy 90s/00s golden age of vidya instead

Understanding that just because you don’t like an anime doesn’t mean it’s for nobody is sadly a lost art.
No more “I couldn’t get into it” or “It’s not for me” always “it was shit” or “the people who like this are shit”.

To Your Eternity is dogshit. Kakushigoto is nice

Yatagarasu manga is the only I still keep up with, and I can highly recommend.

Novels are also good btw

you can enjoy 90s/00s

You can and that doesn't make good games made past 2020 shit.

then you might just be an oldgoodnewbad autist who refuses to try new things

No, I'm just an autist

I've been here for 13 years now and I can tell you the art was lost before that at least.

I don't keep up with anything new and am laser focused on some specific series that no one else cares about anymore.

you can't claim to have discernment if you have 1000 completed anime.

Not everything mentioned itt is shonenshit and yes “slop” is a nu-Anon Babble buzzword used by either gen z or indian faggots. Who are you trying to fool?

you're overstating civility for no reason when that was never the reality

pre-2000

2000 was 20th century, 2001 is 21st century

This just tempts me to read bokuyaba and insomniacs again. Maybe fujiyama-san too.

back to uhhh places that have the exact same opinion on anime as me

culture war even though the op is inciting hatred against old anime and decades of Anon Babble cultivation

tourism even though everyone agreed that certain anime was objectively good until digibro made that video and then nu-elitists everywhere became oppurtunists and muddied the water leading posts like this

I'd go as far as to say that if such an individual can't prove to have seen most of those seasonally they should be considered a binger and their opinions dismissed entirely

All the old anime Anon Babble liked is also liked on reddit btw

dropping things shows discernment actually. there is no way in an audiovisual medium someone organically watches science saru anime ergo pretense ergo contrarianism ergo forced opinion ergo credibility removed.

we can agree that even approaching 1000 anime doesn't make you a fan but an neet who has nothing else to do. even if i had nothing else to do but watch anime I wouldn't even need to crack 250.

objectively good

its contrarianism to like an anime that had weekly threads while it was airing that people enjoyed watching

though everyone agreed that certain anime was objectively good

Lol, do you really think that? It’s so obvious you are new. Anon Babble has never been a hivemind. We never agreed on shit. Even when a lot of these charts were done, people rarely agreed with each other.

bullshit no one cares.

pre 2000

meanwhile 95% of old Anon Babble‘s culture was built around post 2000 anime

Lol.

Hard to believe we had 50 good series in 5 years

If you look at indie anime as well the number is larger.

Tourist cope.

Other websites living in your head rent free

Stooping down to OPs level

Ecelebs out of nowhere

”Objectively good” consensus

Wew

just admit Anon Babble got insecure about getting their tastes charted and pretended to be someone else to maintan the patrician grift

artsy = good

good animation = good

popular = good

damn, i'd hate to be a normalfag

Yeah, it might be hard to believe if you have no discernment because you binged a thousand seasons of garbage and specifically avoided all the popular titles for meme reasons

objectivity exists especially in a premise as simple as Japanese animation. you guys deny that because you now grew up regretting making fun of troons and not transitioning earlier and are yapping on Anon Babble to make up for lost time. now act like you read josei and "aren't like the other anons"

Read the manga:
Dungeon Meshi
Tengoku Daimakyou
Dorohedoro
Not watching a shitty 13-ep anime of something I've read the manga for.

little girls = good

damn, I'd hate to be a 4channeler

Oh yeah The Fable too

you should have seen normalfag onimai discourse which is basically 4tran members outside of their containment discord servers but because they're transgender, normalfags can't say they are subhuman perverse freaks

shitty 13-ep

The anime for TD had better backgrounds than the manga

zoomer terms

You are the most sexless generation btw. Also the one most filled with trannies so it’s pretty ironic.

It is on there you retard and it shouldn't be because it's not anime.

Objectivity exists in anime in the sense that Tetsuwan Atom objectively came out in 1963 and is objectively black and white.
Quality judgements require a measuring stick, the measuring stick is subjective and the measuring to the stick when done properly is objective. The conventional critical measuring stick is useful, I know it, I love it. It’s not the be all end all of taste.

there is no objectivity in something as broad appealing as anime, especially in anonymous boards full of loud schizos that spam like its their day job or circle jerking sites for pseuds like MAL

Sharty newfag headcanon

normie

I mean there clearly was because so many charts capture the zeitgeist of it before it was abandoned because of insecurity.

Fixed it for you. Green is good must watches. Yellow is barable slop. Red line is garbage Red X you should kill yourself if you enjoyed it. These are not my opinions but my word as a higher power, a law of the universe if you disagree with me you'll be reborn as a double nigger jeet

missing Heikemonogatari and Inu-oh

Pull off some of the generic shit and put in actual art

i agree with most of this list except odd taxi, i guess im a double nigger now

Fags with some experience but are not quite fully experienced often fall for this trap. They begin to curate their “critical lens” and because this is their first time actively engaging with art, they believe they’ve discovered the “objective” perspective.
This old cathedral of dos-and-don’ts, expectations, and standards is helpful for learning how to think more deeply about art and articulating yourself, it’s not great as your final resting place (unless all you’re concerned about is status games with other people/looking like a smarty pants).
Personally, I prefer the self-measuring technique, where you attempt to discern the goal of the work, and then judge it by that standard. Is “slow psychological anime” an interesting meditation on its topic? Does it evoke a noteworthy atmosphere? Does “harem sex comedy” deliver on the character/dynamic appeal? Is the fanservice well drawn and engaging? Does “big muscle guy punching people shonen” deliver on escalating action? Etc etc.
Self-measuring isn’t a perfect system as sometimes discerning intent can be tricky or sometimes an anime will go off the rails but leave an impact on you anyway, but I find it the most fruitful lens to lead with.

The biggest problem is that objectivity in art is rejected because people don't want to deal with the actual themes and messages created by artists. Reactionary tourists, for instance, can never take most anime seriously because it's deeply rooted in progressive critique of Japan.

As someone who's pushing 1100 full shows watched I can definitely tell you objectivity exists. There are plenty of objectively bad shows regardless of the design philosophy or the shows goal. There's objectively bad adaptations too where the source material is butchered( looking at you Aku no hana/ Dead dead kings DDDDDstruction) to the point that it's so much worse you were better off never watching and just reading to begin with. The real issue with absolute statements is when they come from normiefags or shounen onlies who have no real scope of anything and cannot separate their bias from objectivity

Sounds to me like you want to project your political framing on anime and get upset when someone calls you a fag for doing so. Muh everything is political.

don't care, binger

Everyone in this thread is being baited by a man who willing mutilated his own genitals

I've been watching anime for over 20y

Okay, grandpa? How do I know you weren't the one shitposting "why are they still making this? just let it die!" in the archived threads I could find for the third season of my waifu show?

Not everyone is terminally online and memorizes the content of each thread. Take your meds

No I mean most good anime is directly political and specifically participates in leftist critiques of postwar Japan. You're actively missing out on appreciating anime if you can't see the political dimension.

No I will not take 'be dumber and remember fewer things' meds no matter how much happier some Democrat says they'll make me

Academic brainworm hogwash. The advanced form of

Harry Potter would le agree with me

Luffy Goku and Naruto would all be very disappointed with you right now anon

anti-intellectualism

Concession accepted lol
Continue to willingly destroy your brain because art would be too triggering if you understood it

I think there are anime that are so poorly executed in a conventional sense that it’s tough to argue they “are” good, even if you like them for some reason. These extremes remind us of the utility of the common critical lens, which is absolutely useful and didn’t just come out of nowhere.

Media literacy is seeing muh marxism and muh feminism everywhere because I’ve been mindbroken

Your kind is a cancer on the arts.

Bruh, the artists are the marxists and feminists lol
You have to keep up this pretense of hating art and academia because you are the cancer. This isn't shit being inserted against anyone's will, this is what creative and empathetic people want to make. You tourists who complain about woke are the posers who have never been part of any communities. You don't create things so you have to latch on to what others create and ignore their feelings and politics so you aren't triggered some more by being reminded of what a piece of shit you are.

There are people who aren’t like you who can hold political beliefs without it infesting every thought they have and everything they will ever do.
Your kind thinks art is merely a medium to convey your Anon Babblefaggotry. You confirmation bias yourself into a circlejerk to validate yourself with fiction. You invent subtext to feel like a big boy for caring about those lowly cartoons. You demean those who don’t subscribe to your brand of schizoheadcanon (which is equivalent to those who believe Evangelion has something deep to say about Christianity). You mistake your interpretation as authorial intent. You’re just another Anon Babblemonkey cultist who won’t leave fiction the fuck alone.

1960s leftists especially in non American hegemon countries are 2025 nazis btw

there's nothing feminist about a guy who hates hags, hates otakus for liking fictional children unlike him, puts pantyshots on minors which is anti feminist by nature. For a so called feminist he has done nothing to make ghibli female it's a sausage fest.

oof
I'd be pretty embarrassed about these shows "representing" modern anime if I had any emotional investment in defending new things

Reminder that

everything can be interpreted politically

Is not the same thing as

Everything is political

Evangelion is literally anti semitic lmao.

normie

Get out "normie"

The left literally believes everything is political. "The personal is political" is a foundational tenet in Marxism.

so there are objective rules for using 4tran but god forbid discernment also has some objective truths like beauty of art/animation/audio.

No wonder they’re so fucking annoying.
Anon Babblebrained freakoids will tell me with a straight face that pic related is about exploring Pokemon instead of exploring Marxism.

go back 'teen

sorry kiddos this is the official list

these people are retarded. by the time the uprising happened miyazaki and his people were already well settled within the anime industry. each generation was also different in their role and approach and saying they have anything in common with 2025 leftists is insane. you realise these are japanese men born after or during ww2 right? they are insanely sexist, hate koreans, their anti americanism extends to ethnic anti semitism including jq and so on. They were all also either pedophiles or were okay with it.

Well yeah, the treatment of women during the Zenkyoto campus struggles is hilarious outdated. Left wing sects were using their female comrades as comfort women, a practice so entrenched that inter-faction skirmishes might include targeted rape of women in a way that I think is technically a war crime. But I guess that's why progressive ideology is about progress and not doing that stuff again.

You invent subtext

No these are the things the artists put in their works. A lot of the time it's just the text itself. Miyazaki really does give the best examples since Laputa starts with a labor struggle brawl against cryptofascist thugs directly inspired by Thatcher's treatment of miners and the main plot is about stopping a cryptofascist aristocrat from manifesting a new reich. No one thinks NGE has anything important to say to about Christianity or theology because it so obviously tells the audience what to care and how to interpret it. And hey, guess what, that setting it portrays isn't really a new Tokyo, is it?
See the amazing thing is you can arrive directly at my politics if you just anime. Once you learn the postwar ur-narratives it all becomes so very easy to see. This is not some esoteric shit, it permeates every other aspect of Japanese culture too. Murakami captivates the world touching on the exact same topics. Notice he keeps tying things back to Manchuria and strange generations after the conflict. You just cannot be this stupid. This is their matrix so of course anime reflects it. Look at something like Summertime Rendering. It effortlessly slips into the river of postwar narratives. That's one that I'd say is "apolitical," and yet just transposing a generic story of good and evil into the Japanese space-time distorts it into that shape.
Your reliance on anti-intellectualism as a standard is because you're just limited to pretending to be stupid because you can't deal with this dimension of anime at all.

If you don’t force my framework on everything ur dumb

Just another oneshotted Anon Babblebrain nutjob doing what they do best, infesting everything higher than himself and trying to lower it to his pathology. Anime is better than you. You grasp at it for validation, and to existentially masturbate. The lowest of the low.

praising 3dcg garbage

fixed

you're arguing with people too vapid to understand disco elysium is pro communism btw. and this is coming from a REDACTED

Molcar

First valuable opinion in entire thread.

hey retard please read the Zeta design material where Tomino underlines one of the most central premises of his work is the Israel struggle and how jews who control america are using it to inorganically fund a war by controlling both sides to ultimately secure their chosen land.

Notice how you can't produce a single counter-argument based on actual content analysis. There's just no way to deny that this is the social and cultural context in which all anime is produced and that leftist sentiment has been the driving force in otaku subculture as denoted by its obvious connections to counterculture. It's also the best part of anime, I'm not sure what enjoyment you can get out of anime if you don't understand what the creators are making. That's why you have to pretend really hard it's a forbidden topic with only insults to rely on because you can't actually discuss anything intelligently.

do you know who yukio mishima is? if he was alive in 2025 he would be considered a literal nazi but there's more nuance to him. non japaense don't understand anything about the inspiration for anime of that generation. it's interesting to observe how there is a different appraoch depending on when they were born and which wave of student uprising their generation was part of. One thing you can't deny is the hatred of the korean, the preference of the youth over the elders, and the rejection of American security treaties which are all political.

What are the leftist and anti-fascist themes of Strike Witches?

Is it safe to assume you didn't watch it because the art direction in GBC is legitly top tier. The cgi style is 2d mixed to give a good anime aesthetic while allowing for the characters and colors to remain expressive in it's unique way. The show does not work in 2d

objectivity in art is real and what I like happens to be what is objectively good because I have watched 10000 anime, have objectively good taste because I am an objective critic, trust me guys

The cope of the midwit.

Don't care, eat shit zoomer normalnigger

if he was alive in 2025 he would be considered a literal nazi

I think it's the opposite, if he were alive today then he'd attract active analysis rather than the fetid idolization which holds his character in stasis after death, despite that being his intention after all.

Sorry Esotarichad ill be on the lookout for your gatekept hidden indie 1968 anime hit that no one knows but you

Notice that your primary concern is appearing intelligent.
I *could* choose to spin a yarn about how Laputa symbolizes an ascended tower of Babel, a yearning for the hierarchy that could only come from Monarchy and ultimately God, that Miyazaki is critiquing the strife that comes from worms ruling themselves, that we must return to tradition and submit to authority to ascend.
I’d also be a fucking crazy person to assign this personal headcanon as *the* subtext, to the point of calling you an idiot for not playing smarty pants tea party with me.

Yep, gottem.

Good for you zoomer, but still GBC is a 3cdg mess and you think it looks good because you are into vtuber shit and gachashit like genshin

lol i make 200k a year and have 3000 completed anime on my list. cope and seethe

erm akshually tetsuwan atom has at least 2 episodes produced in color

I have my own company and it doing decent so far lately things are getting pretty hectic and I still manage to watch +20 seasonal anime, I also watched way more than 1000k titles, maybe even 2k dunno the exact number.

Well yeah because that interpretation is utterly retarded, just like you. You have to pretend these leftist politics aren't clear and intentional in anime because you hate them and have no arguments against them when presented by someone like Miyazaki. Just go get a lobotomy already lol

It does but don't expect current Anon Babble to agree with you, a person like you should easily tell how shitty something like Boku no Hero academia is, how unique was something like Kamikatsu with his direction, etc, a retard that only watches fotm will praise every single turd he watches and will never question anything unless his favorite jewtuber or the herd of normalfags say otherwise.

That’s different cause [Ad Hominem]!

You see what I see and just pretend you don’t!

You’re a deranged Anon Babblebrain warping universal themes until they agree with you, and then claiming after the fact that your interpretation is law. You dress yourself up in a facade of intellectualism but beneath the mask it was always:

Goku would le agree with me because he good guy and I good guy, and he fight bad guy and I don’t like bad guy :)

Your lobotomy is already complete.

The guy who made the wind rises is totes an anti-imperialist who doesn't fetishize the Japanese empire that his family built planes for I swear

I'll take it is as a victory that you tourists are now stuck pretending not to be from Anon Babble since you can't argue against the inherent leftist stances in otaku subculture. I guess gatekeeping does work.

Muh victory

Glad to see you’ve dropped the intellectual act, clown.

Muh prove a negative

No.

He fetishizes planes, The Wind Rises is a directly antifascist film. That's the entire reason he grafted those two stories together lol
The earthquake, her sickness, you know what that's about, right?

I'm glad you're still championing anti-intellectualism, cunt

Chuds win again. It's beautiful. Well done Anonymous, this was well deserved.

leftypol projecting

Jesus, you retards are so pathetic, 99.9% of anime doesn't have any political message and basically any rightard or leftard like you are wrong, and before you spout nonsense I've been watching anime for 30 years, you weren't even born when I started watching anime, now go back to your shithole and take your boyfriend with you.

Also

Not wanting Anon Babbleshit derangement means you’re Anon Babble

You are what you claim to hate.

Ur a big dummy-head!!!! :(

Your concern with appearing intelligent is why you’re a faggot.
You fuck off too Artists often go out of their way to translate their personal perspectives into universal terms, and fags like you take that interpretive leeway to back engineer a specific headcanon because you care more about your ideology than fiction or anime.

I'll choose to believe you're lying because it would be too sad if you're that old and have spent that long watching anime without picking up on the basics lol

what is the political message of gochiusa?

Movie has a believe in yourself message

Deranged lefty: This has pro-trans subtext

Deranged righty: This is telling me to have pride in my race and heritage

Sane individuals: What a nice story, it’s good to believe in yourself.

the basics of anime are how political charged they are!!

You are just obsessed with politics because that's your whole identity, and most likely everyone around you hates you because you can't shut up about politics, I hope you eventually grow up out of that phase faggot.

These Anon Babbleyps got intellectually molested by their english professor, they genuinely can’t see art the same way anymore. Everything goes back to their autistic fixation. Poor souls.

I'm obsessed with these politics because I watch anime. If you aren't driven to read about postwar Japan and the counterculture then you aren't actually watching anime. It's really that simple. Everyone around me loves it because they find it interesting that I can actually explain the messages and historical contexts of otaku media and subculture. It's actually a great foot in the door for getting leftists to care more about anime. The campus struggles are a popular topic since our campus is in the midst of a nascent struggle against heavily militarized police.

Explain , we are waiting

Thank you for the wonderful example of your cancerous behavior.

Everyone around me loves it because they find it interesting

No, no one tells you to shut up because most people are polite enough to not cross slap you.

Chris-chan tier post.

No, I'm not jumping through your bad faith hoops lol

You're the cancer, you want to dismiss a significant part of otaku media and subculture because it triggers you. You want to enforce being a dumb cunt because you can't handle what anime actually is.

No, you projecting your own isolation onto me. I'm not a hateful piece of shit so I don't have any trouble fitting in.

What does a zoomer like you knows about anime? You think you know shit but the truth is that you are just a brainwashed poltard parroting shit, you have 0 critical thinking.

Have seen first to fifth and they're pretty terrible, old > any of those

Art and fiction has the power to transcend politics and engage with many different people with at-odds perspectives, experiences and contexts, on a higher, human level. It does this regularly, far more often than explicitly targeting a direct and specific political message.
Political analysis of these works being portrayed as “objective” just betrays the small-mindedness of the one presenting the point. They lack a theory of mind for people who aren’t them.

Anime *is* political propaganda

Pure crystalized carcinogen straight into the veins of media discourse.

So disprove any of the examples I gave of direct political discourse in anime. You can't. You can only call me names because you're mad that I'm right. You know you're missing out by not being able to appreciate these things in anime so you seethe because I can see things you're not allowed to see. I can experience joys you deny yourself so you can conform to an echo chamber of idiots.

Yeah the artists are literally making propaganda. It's always been this way, anime is nothing special. Your desperate attempt to create an illusion of neutrality hinges on you knowing that your politics are the exact shit art is critiquing. You're pretending to be stupid to save yourself from facing how pathetic you are.

That Colmar would be better if everyone was Japanese.
It's also part of the extended magazine and general otaku politics that everywhere would be better if cute girls were the majority.

You must be [my mirror image boogieman]!

The final move of a cornered schizo, accuse the opposition of being exactly like them. Your pretentious, reductive, masturbatory approach to art is tourist behavior, plain and simple. You’ve made it clear what you think art is about, loser, an ad for your stupid cult. Go the fuck back to Anon Babble.

What example? Anime has always been adapting to the times, some post war anime had messages of rebuilding/resilence like nowadays some anime has messages of reproduce filthy neet, that doesn't mean shit, besides that most of the political messages coming from anime are things like war = bad, believe in yourself or friendship is important. Now answer this simple question , oh that's right you can't because you can only parrot shit and ask chat-gpt for help, get out of here zoomer.

You get what you give.
All you’re doing is assuming ill intent or calling people dumb. You have nothing to offer.

Reminder that an interpretation is a creative act between the interpreter and the art, not the art itself.

loved summertime render, this whole list just looks like normalfag tier / netflix anime though, whats your point? i've seen all of these and generally these all range from being pump and dumps for NPC's and halfway decent. by the way that also does apply to summer time render, i just have the unsated urge to huff mio's shimapan. all of this is shit though so, not a lot of good seasonal shit the past 7 years. just some good ones here and there.
by the way why the fuck do you even care about what the public has to say about anime? this list means nothing it's just a bunch of co worker/morons who each of these anime individually is probably the only anime they have ever seen, and probably watched it in the dub. why are you even posting this here?

Westerners have such an inability to segregate fiction from reality that they say stupid shit like this and don't even feel ashamed.

anime is political

This is a funny way of you saying that fiction is reality.

The final move of a cornered schizo, accuse the opposition of being exactly like them

lol

See I love how your attempts at counter-examples rely on being so reductive. Now I can just imagine that's how simple minded you are and how little you get out of watching anime.

How are you not all dumb as shit? I'm the only one that actually has something to offer. None of you can talk about anime with any measure of understanding or specificity. That's exactly why I'm hassling you. You're trying to enforce collective stupidity because the reality of the political messages in otaku media and subculture trigger you. And that's why I'll always be superior. I enjoy those things that are forbidden to you, so I can see just how abundant they are and frolic in the grand gallery of postwar art. I get to laugh in the sunshine of that bright metanarrative that pervades all things in this world, the muse that moves all artists of this era.

You sound like a schizo tranny, you still haven't answered to this

All art is political people will argue for the widest definition of political to justify the narrowest form of political art.

Yeah Miyazaki portrayed an authoritarian villain so that means burger culture war politics are at home in anime discussion
