Eva is a show made by an art critic who is aware of what great art is but no talent for it.

Lain is made by an artist who is aware of what art is, whether it is great or not is another question.

Is this a good summary of the two shows?

No, that's just incoherent gobbledygook that means nothing.

No.

a completely worthless description

lain is a dogshit pseud show that relies on interpretation to even make sense of the plot

I watch anime for entertainment, not artistic value.

Eva is mad by a non artist

The first half of each of your statements were true, the latter half were false.

Why is Eva made by an art critic?

No. Don't ever make a thread again.

the funny part is that both shows aren't the respective artists magnum opus yet they are the most popular.

What is Anno's then?

Anno is just the biggest hack that ever existed.

an aesthetic object that has to be interpreted is necessarily bad because... because...

because the writer isn't doing his job and passes it to the viewer

Define art and then define what makes it good or bad

lain is a dogshit pseud show

Just like Eva...

eva still has good characters, lain has neither. and eva's never that plot-oriented until near the end

Hideaki Anno is an art critic

What

Because it throws what people assume to le artistic in a mishmash together without having a coherent vision.

If you don't understand that NGE is about you might be terminally retarded since they spell it out several times

if you need to spell out the message, then you've failed

there is no coherent vision!

yes there is

w-well it failed anyway!

Sounds like you're the one without a coherent vision on why you dislike EVA

Eva guy just randomly copy pasted "cool" shit from whatever he watched on tv as a kid. This are Anno own words he didn't wanted to do art or whatever que didn't even researched any christian shit at all, all the "symbolism" got literally copied from Ultraman.

what is an analogy

He is no artist that's for sure
Art is anything that gives a pleasant and sincere aesthetic experience.

In Lain, you don't see the hand of the artist, hevworks behind the scenes and everything that happens seems to happen because it was meant to. Eva is different. Watching eva it feels like you are just waiting for whatever next theme anno wants to push down your throat.

since they spell it out several times

The fact that you don't understand that this is one of the primary problems of the show is why you're retarded.

Coherent vision and message are not the same thing. Coherent vision means that everything in the show stems from a common aesthetic and the message is part of it. NGE has a message snd everything else is cobbled together in service of that message, aka no coherent vision.

Me watching NGE be like

Wow so are we going to get an epic story with aliens /Angels

No instead we focus on some random kid with psychological problems

Art is a subsection of all objects, which a expects a certain amount of interaction with the subject. Not all objects are art, as art needs a legitimizing entity, often social, to be considered as such. Reason being, if art cannot be consumed as a social need, then it will be refused to be taking as such. Happy?

I've read that lain is much more popular in the West than in Japan.

Which artist are you referring to with lain? ABe, Ueda or Chiaki?

because only pseuds like it

Lain is boring and slow as fuck.

so much this

Go back to TikTok. Better yet, try reading a book.

The leap from Tik Tok to reading a book is too extreme.

What's your point? Books, or any medium, somehow being immune from wrong pacing, unecessary exposition or whatever?

anno

aware of what great art is
