What the fuck is wrong with the anime community?

I want to fuck Pino

WAKE ME UP

Wow your so deep man, have you heard about this one anime called Neon Genesis Evengelion, it's super deep too.

Everyone's fucking autistic about that show and the other.
Also this.

DRINK THE WHINE

RAISON D'ETRE

...

At least talking about NGE is bearable because you don't have the majority of its fans talking about how some prepubescent robot with the most obvious "robot has a soul" theme makes the show great.

Oh wait, that show has Asuka, Rei, and Misato. Nevermind.

Rei > a suka

>muh raison d'être
>muh superficial DEEPness
>muh Philosophers namedropping
>muh dialogue is 90% quotes
>muh I liked this for the complex theme therefore I am smarter than you

What the fuck do you want us to do about it you fucking redditor? Stop being a pretentious fuckwit. The fact that you went to fucking "forums" to read retard's opinions proves you're a fucking idiot and shouldn't be posting here in the first place. Fuck off.

I WANT TO CUDDLE PINO

Does anyone have trains?

the problem is that the AutoReivs Lacan et concortes did not really represent their respective philosophers' views at all

they were just namedrops for the sake of namedrops

>Sup Forums is a forum

Holy shit kill yourself.

Autism

Too bad it turned to literal shit half way through. Maybe you should finish the series before being pretentious.

Except the idea of reality through experience and the subjectivity of the world are cornerstones of Ergo Proxy and while may not be perfect parallels with each philosopher; most of them argue for some form of instability, whether they use this term or not, with perception and structure, which is at the crux of the EP experience.

As much as the example pains me, Pino herself is an example of one who develops an understanding of reality by means of experience, because she has no objective world view, which is part of Husserlian phenomenology.

Why do you even come here? What the fuck did you actually expect?

>hurr duur i'm a faggot with an unpopular opinion

>lol i'm so smart and you're so dumb

Seriously, kill yourself. For the record, Sup Forums is not a forum, retard.

>half way through

>not realizing that an internet forum is not the only acceptable definition of forum
>tfw not realizing the Latin origins of the term

fucking plebs, even /lit/ isn't this bad

Maybe you should fuck off back there.

>continental fucking shit
>calling others "plebs"

neck yourself

Why do /lit/fags always have to ruin everything? You say something, then someone disagrees, and all you do is jerk yourself off over how many big words you used and how everyone else is so inferior to you. Nobody fucking cares about your amazing extensive vocabulary. Your taste if shit and you're waifu is a slut.

>ignoring context
>b-but muh dictionary definition... L-latin....

Take your own life.

How is Sup Forums not a forum? I see anons get pissy at it being called one, but they never explain what's wrong.

>ESL tier English speaker complains about /lit/

I'm not even him, but Jesus Christ

You're a humongous faggot. Your intellectual insecurity must run real deep if you started going on /lit/ to ultimately watch more anime.

It has to do with the connotations of what an internet forum typically is. Usernames and post counts and all that shit. They're a fucking circlejerk. It's the same reason why tripfags get shit on.

This is an anonymous imageboard.

it was boring.

>For the record, Sup Forums is not a forum, retard.
I have to cringe hard every time someone says this, especially if it is said in such an arrogant way.
Applying the term "forum" to Sup Forums is perfectly acceptable in English, and it's actually commonly done outside of English, too. Furthermore, the guy appealing to the Latin origin is right.

>"Well, TECHNICALLY..."
You're being that guy.

helo
sequele when

...

A term can have more than one typical meaning. You might as well complain about the usage of "circlejerk" when it's not referring to literally people stroking each others' sexual organs, or "imageboard", which has also undergone quite a transformation.

Nah you're a fucking idiot desu senpai

...

Postmodernism was a mistake

>it's actually a forum xD

No, OP is referring to an internet forum, and speaking in said context, Sup Forums is not an internet forum. God damn this thread is shit.

Sup Forums is an internet forum, just not one in the bulletin-board style.

>Sup Forums isn't a forum
>people discuss shit here with trips

I sure hope you gutted dem nekkers tinkle

> Random philosophical references irrelevant to the story or context

EP is the archetype of the pretentious auteur-wannabe trainwreck : all about posture, not much substance underneath.
I only recommend it to people who really miss the cyberpunk aesthetic of Gits, Tehx and Psycho-pass

But the philosopher bits are really shallow and don't involve any exploration, only regurgitation of dudes like derrida

Most of the conflicts are resolved by Vincent changing forms

And Pino is the closest thing to having substance in that show

But Pino is cute, and Mrs. Evanescence is not.

RAISIN DETER

I'm shocked the OP isn't written in 19th century French.

Well said, my fellow intellectual.

I liked it. There is quite nothing else like it and the soundtrack is cool.
