>Rushed plot >Characters have no back stories >Main Antagonist is a plot device with no backstory
>B-but muh epic fight scenes >muh choreography >Muh sad Ost and final scene
We live in a world were great fight scenes but the rest is garbage is enough to be called a classic.
Benjamin Martinez
Akira and GITS are way more overrated.
Robert Flores
>Characters have no back stories You're a fucking retard.
Jason Wright
>being this much of a bore
You gay or something? It had good animation, cool fights and a good main theme, what more do you need?
Brandon Reyes
No. This is.

So does Hellsing so what makes this movie a classic and Hellsing a pleb tier show?
Leo Hall
I didn't even knew this movie. Maybe Jin-Roh, there is lots of people that unironically like that shit.
Brandon Phillips
Is not "over" if they deserve it.
Ian Wright
Yeah, I don't really get all of all high praise about sots. It didn't even have a sick death scene like the rock guy splitting his head open in Ninja Scroll. That was some sick shit.
Mason Martin
Akira and Gits are overrated but helped revolutionised the genre
Austin Powell
No.

The last fight scene makes up for whatever you are bitching about.
Wyatt Richardson
>Characters have no back stories Okay speedwatcher-kun
Liam Peterson
Depends on what you want from the movie. I wanted awesome samurai action and I got awesome samurai action. The plot and characters existed just so we could see characters fight. And I'm okay with that.
>B-but muh epic fight scenes >muh choreography >Muh sad Ost and final scene They were all awesome and I'd take them over better plot and characters every day of the week.
Noah White
Because that fight is the only reason why this movie is so critically acclaimed. I bet most anons here dont even remember the Protagonist's name unless they Google it.
Noah Morgan
I think it's a bit underrated.
Juan Mitchell
This isn't even highly rated, people just acknowledge it's choreography and animation, retard newfag get with the program
Samuel King
Sometimes you watch a movie and want a straight up action movie and sometimes you want it to be some heartfelt drama or tragedy. SotS pulled off its genre very well and was a fantastic production.
To complain that SotS didnt have super well dressed characters with extremely DEEP back stories and motives is like eating a big chocolate bar and complaining that it doesnt have your daily requirements of vitamin B. You dont eat a goddamn chocolate bar for vitamins.
Parker Morgan
Because hellsing is chuuni as fuck compared to Stranger.
Levi Torres
I don't remember the protagonist's name for 99% of things I watched, even if they're good. It's a collection of sounds that designates a person I can already designate just by saying "MC," why would I need to remember it?
William Allen
>enough to be called a classic For one no one calls Sword of the Stranger a "classic." Secondly, your facade is slipping, chimpy; you may have learned how to recognize and mimic human words in familiar sequences but apparently you've still got a long way to go before you understand what any of those words mean, because you don't seem to be able to patch together a coherent statement yet. Tell the lab boys they've got a while to go before they can cash in on their whole "teach monkeys to shit post" research project.
Joshua Flores
Anyone can enjoy the visuals and chuuni shit in Hellsing as well. Everything doesn't have to be particularly smart or clever, just have a nice execution.
Justin Cooper
>I bet most anons here dont even remember the Protagonist's name How can people forget his name when it's literally "anonymous" in Japanese?
Andrew Edwards
Akira and GITS are arguably two of the best looking anime films of all time, Akira especially.
Christian Nguyen
You're watching in 1995+21, aren't you? Those two are well rated GiTS was very groundbreaking at that time for using CGI + traditional cel animation for the first time in the anime industry.
