There will never, ever...

There will never, ever, EVER be an anime that is as intelligent as it is dark without being edgy and/or appealing almost exclusively to teenagers.

Lament this fact with me, my friends.

Parasyte

Sure thing, OP.

If you think Parasyte is intelligent, you're pseudo-intellectual /r9k/ trash.

Yes op

Why do you think it's not?

Anyone that wants intelligent anime is pseudo-intellectual trash.

Intelligence is not about showing off how intelligent you are. And darkness is not a good thing.

>not a good thing
Come on now.

What do you consider dark, exactly? Something like Kaiji and Monster, or stuff with a lot of blood and shit like Elfen Lied?

Also Filia from Skullgirls

Thanks for the recommendations!

Childhood is idolizing Monster. Adulthood is realizing that MLP was for mature adults like me all along.

Those are neither intelligent nor dark, but okay.

texhnolyze is rolling in it's old molded tomb right now.

>without being edgy

Is this the future we have decided on? The bastardization of words on the internet? Turning words with real meaning into half assed memes? Where did everything go wrong Sup Forums?

>Nothing will ever come close to Tex in the genre
