>The Orchestra went to my city a few weeks ago
>They played almost every good song by Electric Light Orchestra
>They didn't play Twilight

I was dissapointed but it was still a good concert

If you hate anime then why are you on Sup Forums?

Wait hold on I just wanted to make fun of OP for having a hipster bullshit 3x3 of shorts (Tortov Roddle is dope tho) but how have some of you never seen Daicon IV? That's like not having seen DBZ or Cowboy Bebop or something.

Twilight isn't even the best song off of Time (that'd be Here is the News or Rain is Falling), but it's damn good.

>how have some of you never seen Daicon IV? That's like not having seen DBZ or Cowboy Bebop or something.
Not a fan of calling things autism, but this is straight up autism.

>hipster bullshit 3x3 of shorts
I never get how people can't comprehend these 3x3s are for shorts specifically. Just how people make 3x3s for just movies, series or one shots. Or maybe it's just the inflow of digibronies who are completely oblivious to how things go around here.

Yeah, those are kind of hard to compare since Daicon IV was actually influential and matters.

Yeah I know it's shorts, I'm just saying it's full of the hipsterist of hipstershit. Which, I mean, I'm totally fine with, I love that hipster shit too, but cmon.

>Tortov Roddle is dope tho)
This, I can't fault OP for liking that one.

Alright Sup Forums fucking wreck me.

"I don't want to seem too much like a snob but I do still really like these shows, I'll throw in a couple popular shows to show off that I'm well rounded and not a pretentious faggot"

That being said, I can't fault your choices. 7/9, but really? Re: Cutie Honey? The opening's almost the best part of it.

I was more trying to hit all of my favorite directors than anything else, and I think it's Imaishi's best work.

From an animation standpoint, maybe? I think Dead Leaves is a better showcase of his talent, personally. But I might be biased, I have an affinity for it.

Ok, now I don't even know what you're trying to say. Plus hipster is relative so I don't care. To most people anime is hipster in the first place and to most anime fans something like Tatami Galaxy would probably hipster. It's a meaningless term.

I think the simplicity of Re:Cutie Honey suits him well. He has a bad habit of letting the story start to bog him down some as things get really big, and this was just too previously set for that to happen. You're right, though, the OP probably is its best asset.

He only directed one of the episodes. Besides in terms of Imaishis:
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann > Kill la Kill > Luluco > Panty & Stocking > Dead Leaves > Sex & Violence > Oval & Over

Fair enough. I think that's why I like Dead Leaves so much, it doesn't have enough time to get too bogged down into the details, and I think really showcases his more manic side well.

Huh, you're right. I didn't realize Anno was the head on that. I still like it well enough to leave it on my list.

>anime godzirra pops up
no thanks

Get off Sup Forums now.

NGNL and meguca were good i guess

I'm of the opinion that NGNL is severely underrated by hipsters because it's a harem. Pretentious assholes ought to be talking about Ishizuka's color work in the show, which she consistently does well in pretty much everything she does. I wish she'd do something original instead of adapting light novels, and then we could get something like the last two episodes of Aoi Bungaku she did.

>Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann >
Ok that's not a bad "best" ch-
>Kill la Kill > Luluco > Panty & Stocking > Dead Leaves > Sex & Violence > Oval & Over
KLK I can see the appeal of even if I'm not big on it but holy shit, how is Luluco better than Panty & Stocking & Dead Leaves? They don't even have any faith in the original characters so they have to cross the show over with other stuff to desperately try and make it interesting.
So what shorts did you want to see on his list instead?
RE:CH even at its worst is better than Fujiko at its worst and RE:CH at its best is so much better than Fujiko at its best it's insane

I liked the pretty colors too.

>namefags

What emotion are NGNL's colors even trying to get across? What is their purpose?

Okay I'll take the name off, now explain how Luluco is better

I'm not that user, I just hate namefags

It looks dreamy and saturated. Colors don't get across emotions, they get across aesthetic, which elicits emotions.

Get your shit together user.

NGNL is still a pretty mediocre show

It actively defies color harmony most of the time, which creates a feeling of alien whimsy. It's exciting to watch, and is often used pretty effectively to keep your eyes where they're supposed to be.

>Colors don't get across emotions, they get across aesthetic, which elicits emotions.
Hahahahahahaa
>It looks dreamy
Man you must have some ugly-ass dreams

Come on, it's better than mediocre. It's not a masterpiece, but it's a good show and a fun ride mixed with some A grade direction.

>he thinks color is used to express emotion in actual art

Clannad is a mediocre anime but one of the great VNs.

8/9 Top tier taste user

This is just sad. People watch one of the most important anime of the 80s without which probably several of your favorite anime wouldn't have been made and which stands as a love letter to all of nerd culture which defines your interests, but the answer they have for it are shitty memes. I hope one day those people will at least feel uncomfortable every time they remember their initial, idiotic reaction.

The Ashita no Joe anime is much better than the manga as far as I'm concerned. I guess some people could consider it too slow, but to me the slow pacing is absolutely perfect for what it is. Visually there's no competition.

>Daicon IV

Are you being fucking serious right now?

It's just a bunch of references, without any more meaning.

Daicon iii and iv if you have to be autistic about it.

MAL-tier opinion

I fucking hate "references = content" as much as you do but if you can't see the brilliance of that short I dunno what to say

Yeah and without that bunch of references Gainax would never exist and without Gainax - Eva wouldn't exist. Without Eva most original anime series post 1995 would never exist.

I actually don't care about Eva, but even supposing I did, that Gainax went on to have a positive effect doesn't make that short brilliant.

There's literally nothing more to it. You can call it a love letter, I suppose, but it's not like it says anything about them, it just calls them out for existing.

Have you seen Baby Steps? If not I know you'd really like it.

You're going to have to explain to me how Eva is singlehandedly responsible for literally all anime made after it.

This is why people dislike newfags. We're not supposed to explain this shit to you, you're supposed to know it by the time you start posting here. Just read about the situation of anime in the late 80s and the financial bubble. I'm not here to give you a lecture, because you're too lazy to google.

kek

>doesn't make that short brilliant.
What makes it brilliant on it own is that it has some of the best animation out there with creative choreography and direction which surpass most anime series ever made with their static, panning shots and flapping mouths. All made by 12 guys in a basement out of which most had barely any experience in anime production.

4.5/5 - mixed feelings about Darker Than Black.

3/3 - Why is middle-left not shown during her fatty phase?

3/3

4/4

Ah yes, the "idk just google it" response.

Look, I get what you're saying to an extent. It had a big influence on anime, especially on adult serials, but that's not a unique quality. Honestly, it seems like it deserves just as much criticism for the exacerbation of otaku culture as it does praise for its positive impact anime.

Cool, it's a well animated bunch of references.

Once again, MAL-tier media criticism. You sound like someone who consumes media in the most literal and boring way possible.

But ok, I guess you'll just call me a hipster faggot and assume I'm praising it solely because of its fame, so here's my personal reasoning:

First of all, it's a goddamn geek convention intro. Of fucking course it's not gonna be a deep multi-layered narrative. Your comments sound MAL-like to me because they remind me of people being dismissive of shorts because they can't have much in the way of deep writing. No one knows how to talk about them because they can only describe the most easily-literalized aspects of a work of animation.

The short would be pretty good even if it was JUST "references", simply because it's extremely fucking honest and ambitious. It doesn't feel pandery or cheap but like there's a genuinely huge love and passion for most of the stuff featured. The way it's all executed makes for a really memorable viewing. From the fantastically-done action at 3:45 to the silly minimalist chibi-ish stuff at 4:25 every shot feels well thought-out. To be totally fair, the animation at 3:10 is really technically wonky and sticks out pretty badly compared to the rest.

But then you get to 4:30 and THAT is what cements this as an absolute classic. The nuke -> rebirth sequence takes it to a whole other level and brings into it a kind of emotion that wasn't really NEEDED for a mere convention introduction animation, but is what makes it transcend what it was supposed to be. The animation, the composition, the color use, the way it's all synced to the music, it's all so fantastically done that if you don't feel anything while watching it I honestly can't help you.

Are we being digibro'd?

0/0 and if you love artsy short films it's really weird that you don't have at least one of Furiko or Tsumiki no Ie.
3/4 because I can't get into Gen Urobuchi's writing. Still ambivalent about Paranoia Agent in regard to how much sense the plot twist made in retrospect. NGNL was good dumb fun.
2.5/3 I want to like monogatari and do at times, but it just doesn't really hook me in.
0/0, 3/4, not an Ippo fan, and yet to watch Aria.
3.5/4 and I'm feeling really stupid for not recognising the top middle because I'm pretty sure I've seen it.
3/4 One Outs feels like too unrealistic of a setting for a psychological series for me to be taken in by it. The scene where he tricks a guy by pitching the ball to the exact place he claimed he was going to three times in a row felt like it was taking the piss.
>What show is the one that looks like Akagi's?
Kaiji
3/3 still watching Casshern.
5/7 Couldn't enjoy WttNHK because it was too depressing and couldn't enjoy SaW because she had no nipples.

I fully admit, I still don't see what's so exciting about it. It's on the level of a really high budget ad, which is impressive for the small team, but it's not viscerally exciting to me. It doesn't do anything other than say, hey, we like these things and we know you like these things, so let's celebrate them together! Which is fine, but a lot more compelling if you're a part of this culture, I'm sure.

>creative choreography and direction

These things contribute to making it an effective emotional journey. It's not just that it's "well animated"; technical artistic quality means nothing on its own. If it really did all the "muh Loomis" jerk-offs on /ic/ would be successful artists and not a bunch of boring, cynical shitposting nobodies. It's all about what it makes the viewer feel.

If you really didn't take away anything from it, then I'm curious what you consider some amazing audiovisually impacting anime scenes.

IV was a pop culture mess, III is the real masterpiece.

The first ending of Madoka Rebellion, when Homura is throwing away everything to stop the Incubators. Call me a ruseman if you like, it was a beautiful scene.

Hi, I'm bad taste.

Feeling lazy af today, so I'm just going to rate one person. I aint sorry.
6.5/7

>It doesn't do anything other than say, hey, we like these things and we know you like these things, so let's celebrate them together!
Except that you're missing the greater picture.

The nuke symbolism was completely intentional; the sequence was animated by Anno, who is probably Gainax's most political and nationalistic figure. It's not just "here's some shit we like", it's about having a true passion for creative works and the healing power that it can bring, and it's executed wonderfully.

Once again:
>If you really didn't take away anything from it, then I'm curious what you consider some amazing audiovisually impacting anime scenes.
I'm pretty sure Digibro has been reading my posts here since at least 2007.

This has a very "Gainax" feel to it. The animation was amazing throughout. The explosion stood out the most by far as the high point of animation quality. There's a ton of love in this short, and I can understand why you'd have it in your 3x3, I just don't personally agree.

I think you're finding more in it than is there, just like everyone does with everything Anno makes.

I hate to join the others in using this term but holy shit you are a colossal hipster faggot
I know nothing about Madoka; link it.

Guess how many dicks I can suck edition.

3/3

1/2. P&S's humor bored me after a few eps, props on the animation tho.

The scene in which we see the girl gliding through the domains of fantasy, sci-fi and comic books and then crossing into japanese media with anime and tokusatsu speaks otherwise. Top that off with the last touchin scene where we see all the characters together symbolizing nerd unity.

>knows an obsessive amount about pre-2000 gainax
>knows nothing about madoka

I've heard about your kind, and it's a strange kind of honor to talk with you. But sure, let me see if I can find that scene somewhere.

And I just realised the irony of criticising P&S's jokes after uploading a 3x3 that may as well belong to a middle schooler.

Anno didn't really "make" this, it was a group effort. But it's blatantly clear that the nuke symbolism and the "rebirth" stuff is intentional and it feels like you're trying really hard to be contrarian for the sake of it.

I think Eva fans are cancer and read far too much into it, but Eva is also full of scenes that were good for a very similar reason. The Komm Susser Tod sequence is amazing in a way that is easily comparable to the Daicon IV sequence.

People who think Eva was good because of writing are blithering retards.

Which response was yours?

>muh references
>muh trees
>muh bomb
>muh songs with words
>muh influence

Looks like I'll have to upload it myself. Have a fight from the movie in the meantime.

youtube.com/watch?v=-f4clXg9n-U

dmc was pretty allright

Eva had both great narrative and visual direction. It's the combination of those that makes it a masterpiece.

Oh I haven't made a 3x3 in a few years. I could find my old one but I know most shows on there will not be on a new one I'd make if that's what your asking.

I imagine it's the only upload on youtube but I'm sick of everyone thinking 60fps is good on animation.

5.5/7 I still have Parasyte on hold for now, roughly 5 eps in. Might change my mind about it if I pick it up again. Watching Watamote is painful, partially because the MC is such an incredibly loveable character.
>P&S's humor bored me after a few eps
I found it to be the other way around. The first episode of P&S was underwhelming, but then each subsequent episode seemed to lift the bar not just in terms of comedy but also in terms of thematic depth. By the time it's near the end of the season you've gone from mere poop jokes all the way to an elaborate and subtle political commentary which symbolically depicts the ideological downfall of western civilisation as it breaks away from its traditional roots - something the infamous Gainax ending actually fits in perfectly with. Also it's one of the few English dubs in existence that manages to be superior to the Japanese one (at least in my opinion).

>Look, I get what you're saying to an extent. It had a big influence on anime, especially on adult serials, but that's not a unique quality. Honestly, it seems like it deserves just as much criticism for the exacerbation of otaku culture as it does praise for its positive impact anime.
Your misguided assumptions arę useless. It would really not be that hard to Google.

If you love google so much then why don't you go browse it fagmaster

No, I mean you said we disagreed. But I don't know on what.

>an elaborate and subtle political commentary which symbolically depicts the ideological downfall of western civilisation as it breaks away from its traditional roots
Is this a joke or something? Jesus...

Oh, I mean with putting Daicon IV on your 3x3 as I assumed you were OP.

Gainaxfag who can't accept they're dead.

The writing part references the plot right? Cause the characters are literally perfect.

>People who think Eva was good because of writing are blithering retards.
It was though, at least in a sense. Part of what made Eva so good was how it was written in a way that did not give a single fuck about the audience: an example being the giant middle finger given to Asuka-shippers at the beginning of EoE.

It's refreshing to have a series that goes out of its way to NOT pander to the audience but instead tell its own story on its own terms.

2/9, the rest are 2obscure4me

I admit it was a good joke though. Hehehe
