Just finished watching Cowboy Bebop
Is this the greatest anime ever?
What did go wrong that Japan stopped producing quality series like this?

It was pretty good, but it wasn't certainly the best thing ever, Sup Forums-kun

Its literally the best thing ever.

Go fap to your moeshit faggot

> more than half of the episodes are random ass shit

Go back to >>Sup Forums and watch Family Guy or some shit.

>Is this the greatest anime ever?
No.
>What did go wrong that Japan stopped producing quality series like this?
The convergence of talent, inspiration and money is incredibly rare. Even the man who had the most to do with bebop wasn't able to come close to it on subsequent tries.

stop being a contrarian.

>I've watched 5 anime: the post

>I'm tsundere the post

nice bump btw

>tfw no series has had such peerless character development and writing since

Also best eps are Jet-centric ones

Is Faye an old hag who never got the D?

Pretty much. That's what makes her great though. I like to imagine that after the show she just wanders through life not really knowing how she feels about her memories of Spike.

>Spike and Faye didn't have a one-off fuck before the end.
This is what scored low for me with the show.

>Jet-centric ones
>That one where they ask only old men to watch
UUUUUUNNNGH
Anyway, it was good, but I wouldn't call it the best.
THIS

...

It's among the best. On the same tier as
>Samurai Champloo
>Kaiji and Akagi
>Legend of Galactic Heroes
>Eva

Moeshitters can hang themselves

No it was shit

I can't believe someone would actually watch anime, which is basically just autistic Japanese animation and often embarrassing.

You just wasted hundreds of hours of your life watching
>kawai desu
>retarded Japanese pop openings

And when you die and your life flashes before you, you'll regret what you did.

Corgis are shit

Daily reminder that Jet is tapping Faye whenever Spike isn't around.

>Is this the greatest anime ever?
No, K-ON is, obviously.

This.

Cell animation has a metaphysical property of making everything done on it better by five points. So an average show like CB which we could make today becomes a perfect one.

Blame digital for this.

>grain

>grain
God tier.
Good grain looks amazing unlike unnatural cg which needs to be injected with lightning effects out of the ass to look nice.

>lightning effects

Out of the ass senpai

What do bolts of electricity have to do with the appearance of CG?

Put some lightning filters, various post processing and you've got yourself more than colors.

What is an electricity bolt filter?
>you've got yourself more than colors.
U wot m8?

Get a brain or stop playing dumb, whichever you prefer.

Its really fucking good, especially the episode where Ed Is saying goodbye but no it's not the best anime. The story is generic romantic mishmash

Not even the best anime of 1998; that's Cardcaptor Sakura.

It didn't have enough waifu-bait for the Japs.

>What did go wrong that Japan stopped producing quality series like this?

stfu pedo, you're on the list now.

Cardcaptor Sakura > Lain > Cowboy Bebop

Gurren Lagann is the best though.

Lucky Star is a better anime than TTGL.

That is not correct. Lucky Star pales in comparison to Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.

>brilliant deep commentary on mundane life and otakudom
>haphazard, trite mismash of mecha/shonen cliches
It's not even close, Sup Forumsermin.

>lousy, shallow commentary on a subculture people try to forgot
>a modern epic propelling us as a species further as a species with enough life lessons to kill an Indian elephant who uses its tropes better than any series before and after
You're right. They're not even close, f/a/ggot.

>gundam faggot
>thinking his opinion matters

Lol'd heartily.

>try to forgot
Sup Forums, ladies and gentlemen.

Sup Forums hates yuri, that's why /u/ exists.

fuck I knew you would notice.
What am I now? How can I go on? Fuck.

>Sup Forums hates yuri

A self hating lesbian still hates yuri.

>Sup Forums hates yuri

I only recognize Euphonium and lesbots. I'm a terrible person.

Cowboy Bebop is decent, but not THAT good.

>Sup Forums hates yuri

Now watch Crusher Joe. The superior version.

>Sup Forums hates yuri

The only show on there that can be described as "yuri" and not "cute girls doing cute things" is Pandora.

Yes, it is the best anime, in the same league as ghost in the shell sac 2, mononoke, and logh. These are objectively the best anime ever made.

Shows that are outright yuri or have heavy yuri undertones: Hibike, Pandora, YrYr, GochiUsa, KinMosa, Yuyushiki
Shows that at least have blatantly yuri characters: NNB, Locodol, Mikakunin

K-ON is objectively better than Legend of the Galactic Heroes. It is the most sophisticated anime ever created; a tour de force, the pièce de résistance of animation! LoGH is little more than plebeian dreck in comparison, its creators wishing they could have produced an anime with even an inkling of the genius contained within Our Holy K-ON. From the profound debates about eating cake, to the highly philosophical discussions about procrastination, to the marvelous musicianship exhibited by the Light Music Club, K-ON has established itself as the greatest intellectual anime. You cannot disagree unless you are a terrible person. Seriously. It's an infallible law of the universe. K-ON is a masterpiece, and we all know that K-ON has the superior tea scenes.

"A phenomenal chef-d'oeuvre. My fifteen years of work on Evangelion now feel trivial by comparison." — Anno Hideaki, esteemed anime director

"During a time of struggle, K-ON's beautiful story provided the influence needed for me to become an ideal president. I am now a better man." — Barack Obama, 44th president of the United States

"I am an uncultured lowborn with pedestrian tastes in anime." — Anonymous plebeian, speaking in reflection of his love for LoGH

No, you are wrong, retarded, and not funny at all. By god you people are dogs. Saddam Hussein is your master and the master of your parents.

>the greatest SoL ever made
vs.
>100+ episodes of boring walls of text and gay guys doing gay things

I just want to add my voice to the chorus of souls chanting:

SHOO, SHOO MOESHIT
STOP RUINING ANIME
SHOO, SHOO MOESHIT!

If I wanted to see a slice of life, I would slice your life all over the dunes of my fathers land.

...

You're only now getting around to Cowboy Bebop? How many series have you watched, exactly?

> Is this the greatest anime ever?
If there's a better anime out there, it's also perfect

I enjoyed that Samurai show he did. But I'm sure I have shit taste.

>That one where they ask only old men to watch
I love how aware they are, knowing it's more or less a straight up hard boiled noir drama in those episodes

Also I only recently learned that whoever handled the dub added in a lot of ambient SFX to the show not present in the Japanese version

>Anyway, it was good, but I wouldn't call it the best.
What is?

Nice dubs, but if you need goggles it isn't yuri no matter what those fucks on /u/ say.

Obama was a terrible president, only slightly better than Jimmy fucking Carter. Opinion discarded.

LotGH.

...

They had different purposes, and both shows fulfilled them splendidly, but LotGH ultimately provided me more entertainment and more fulfilling entertainment.

Lol look at,this fag

>stopped producing
It's not like everything used to be like that, CB's western style was an anomaly rather than the rule. It's great, though also not the greatest ever.

>comma

You think you're being funny?
