what does Sup Forums think about anime? films specifically
I don't consider myself an anime fan, and looking back there's not a single anime series I've watched that I consider essential viewing, but I've recently been watching some anime films and I do
it's a complete different medium and way to make films, is it fair that all of it be disregarded?

Anime is for dumb fucking losers
It's ok but japanese humor is too into dumb, annoying comic relief characters and wacky facial expressions.
The format is better, the content hardly ever is.
Movies have the same issue though. It's why series and books are things. You're too fixated on what's 'essential' and what's not. Fun things are fun. And that's also a purpose
Paprika is awesome.
also, thismany stupid movies or series like hollywood and a few pretty excellent.
Then fuck off out of here.
Satoshi Kon ended up being the real modern Hitchcock, not M Night Shamwow.
It's a pretty trashy medium desu but there are a couple of series worth watching.
I might watch maybe one series every 1 or 2 months but nothing more.
I've been meaning to watch more anime film but I'd honestly rather just stick to live action film.
What's some essentiaal anime to start with, Sup Forums? I like Paprika and pretty much every Miyazaki movie
only seen Death Note as far as shows go
Tentai Senshi Sunred and Cromartie High are hilarious though
>Ping Pong
>Space Dandy
>Michiko & Hatchin
>Shigurui
All also pretty goat series.
you want starter pack or good anime pack?
Madoka Magica is true anime-kino and you know it
Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Evangelion, Cowboy Bebop, the list goes on
Monster
Ghost in the Shell(1st movie and the Stand Alone Complex series)
Baccano
Cowboy Bebop
Start off with these, they aren't too weird and good for newcomers.
I wouldn't recommend something like Evangelion to newcomers personally, since it's not universally liked(Though it's probably in my top 10).
Spirited Away won a Golden Bear and Best Picture in Japan. And an Oscar for whatever that's worth. It's also the highest grossing movie in Japan of all time.
Are you sure you aren't confusing TV and movi anime here?
both fampai
awesome, thank you
>cowboy bebop
Don't.
Cowboy Bebop is a solid 7/10.
Not GOAT like some people believe but still fun.
Get off your high horse.

I enjoy a lot of medium's cliches and the pozi vibes of most of the shows work for me but it's perfectly fine if a person doesn't like it.
Objectively speaking if we asssume that purpose of art is the persuit of truth then the vast majority of anime shows fail at that, but there is about the same quantity of really great anime as there are tv shows.
With anime movies I would say the percent of great ones is higher than regular movies but it's simply because there are much more regular movies.
All-in-all it's a legit medium that has a barrier of entry thanks to some of it's quirks. As with anything you shouldn't force yourself to like it but, on the other hand, if you do like it allow yourself to enjoy it.
it´s pretentious filler
>high horse
Nice Freudian
Overrated shit
>Cowboy Bebop
>Pretentious
Are you fucking retarded?
manchildren pls go
>more namecalling
Sasuga Sup Forums
Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust was one of the first anime films I watched, and it got me into the medium. It has a bit of teenage edginess to it with the whole half vampire/half human protagonist, but it's very stylistic and well animated. Also surprisingly romantic. It's Gothic horror/action done right I think.
If you think you have the series figured out based on that image, I have bad news for you.
>muh genre deconstruction
Manchildren pls go and stay go
I've watched Madoka, I thought it was overrated and a failed attempt at a deconstruction.
I don't need to watch the whole series to figure out that anything with superhero lolis is going to be garbage, even if it is "ironic" loli capeshit
I never said anything about any deconstruction.
>muh deconstruction
Seriously?
It doesn't have superheroes or lolis and it isn't ironic.
I don't know what to recommend you, if you only go for the best of the best the medium is going to get stale quick for you. Anyway here's a list of the very best (well, at least in my opinion):
Evangelion (pinnacle of the medium)
Ping Pong
Tatami Galaxy
Legend of the Galactiv Heroes
FLCL
Satoshi Kon's filmography
Shinsekai Yori
Monogatari series
Aoi Bungaku
Kino's Journey
THIS
also Mushishi(it deserves more attention)
and Nichijou for fun
>Shinsekai Yori
ya blew it
Anime is the same as all different forms of media, it has some aspects which it excels at and some which it does not, and just like the other forms of media some idiots will praise it as the best, completely ignoring its problems, and some will completely disregard it, completely ignoring good points.
I can't work out if Mushishi turned from poignant and contemplative to boring and empty or if I did but i can't enjoy the newer episodes and i used to love it.
anime?
more like shitime lol
Just stick with Satoshi Kon and you'll be alright
atmosphere was same, animation got little better.
i loved zoku shou.
op here, yeah I watched all satoshi kon films and liked them all, even tokyo godfathers, maybe should have specified that, I wanted to know what else is out there
I downloaded ghost in the shell and akira for the moment.
Wouldn't know, my tastes don't include shit as one the categories.
looks very japanese
anything that isn't japanese? for the sake of variety
In what world are 7/10s something you'd recommend?
>Shinsekai Yori
Fuck that noise, this point was the last straw for me.
Watch Nagi no Asu
What's wrong with it? It's literally on the level of 1984 and Brave New World.
>non japanese anime
u wot m8
Set in a favela.
Music produced by Shinichiro Watanabe. It's great.
Essential anime series are Eva, Utena, FLCL, Lain, Bebop, Mononoke, Dennou Coil, Texhnolyze, Ashita no Joe, Heidi, Akage no Anne, Tatami Galaxy, Ie Naki Ko, Future Boy Conan, Kare Kano, Mushishi, Gunbuster + Diebuster, Nichijou, Hyouka, Space Dandy and Birdy Decode.
Most of these for the storyboarding or animation.
Perfect Blue > Black Swan
I was memed into watching this. Not really that good.
Watching this in theaters sure was something.
I don't watch anime regularly, but yeah, there are great films to be seen in the format, but they are rare. I guess it is ultimately up to the audience and if they can lose themselves in something clearly foreign to them that dictates how it is perceived compared to live-action and CGI. Those already into Japanese media do not care, but worldwide anime carries a stigma of sorts. To me, a film is a film, and it is no secret that a cartoon can move people in ways a normal film can, and in ways it cannot.
whole thread and no full metal alchemist.
WTF?
Mushishi is episodic series with good imagery and excellent soundtrack. Pretty "mature" stuff in the series.
There is no samurai, ninja or moe loli shit.(if that is what you meant by japanese)
duh
>To me, a film is a film
This is how I started watching anime at the turn of the millennium. They were just Japanese movies and TV shows that I watched alongside live action ones, I didn't think anything more of it.
But most people now have all these pre-conceived, pre-packaged ideas about "anime," even if they've never watched any.
Fma is garbo.
So is brotherhood
Madoka Magica is the only anime that I have enjoyed.
Currently watching Evengelion slowly because I heard they are similar.

So good, all of it.
Brotherhood is great.
Original anime series was pretty lacking in plot and extra characters, but Brotherhood retains a lot of the complex plot from the manga.
>Hellsing Ultimate
I am glad someone has mentioned this. Alucard is such a bad ass.

Also one of the only acceptable dubs.
THIS IS THE BEST ANIME MOVIE EVER CREATED
AND IVE SEEN A LOT OF FUCKING ANIME
LITERALLY A BETTER VERSION OF MAD MAX
DEBATE ME- OH WAIT GO FUCK YOURSELF
SEVEN YEARS HAND DRAWN
What's your favorite Miyazaki and why is it Princess Mononoke?
it is a solid 7.5-8/10
also, more additions:
1. Planetes
2. Usagi Drop
3. Berserk
4. Rurouni Kenshin (atleast 4 episode OVA)
5. Ergo Proxy
6. Eve no Jikan
7. Gintama
8. Welcome to the NHK
9. Mr. Arashi's Amazing Freak Show(for weird stuff)
10. Wolf Children.
Also, i have only watched 2-3 episodes of Tokyo ghoul. Anime and manga both are shit, but soundtrack is GOAT.
funny watching fags argue this shit isn't a "magical girl show" that children can't watch.
>anime thread on Sup Forums
>literally nothing but Sup Forums shitters recommending entry level shit
>soundtrack is GOAT
Yep.

it's PORCO ROSSO(my choice).
But Mononoke is certainly not the best one.
>Space Dandy
Stop.
how do you fool yourself into thinking welcome to nhk is good. the anime is same cliche garbage as many other dude meets a bunch a girls with problems harem bullshit.
>I'm a contrarian that thinks anything popular is bad
I would say suck a dick, but I don't think you could fit anymore in there buddy.
Space Dandy is great.
What's that matter, don't you like fantastic animation and boobies?
The manga is better desu. It's like an entirely different story
You clearly haven't watched it.
Of course you think it's good, Sup Forums kids love juvenile le boobies XD humor.
If you want to watch anime with excellent animation, check out Hibike! Euphonium
i can't fucking stand anime, but i want to re-watch this movie
last time i saw it was like 2007 and i don't remember much about it
Omar is killed by a child (Kenard)
post some good anime then fucking faggot
Space Dandy is an omnibus work by many directors. The style of the episodes varies wildly.
You can practically watch every good anime film in a month.
I wouldn't even bother with TV shows. Nearly all anime shows have this young adult juvenile feel to them. Including Evangelion.
The fact that pic related rarely gets posted infuriates me and makes me realize how clouded some of you faggots are.
...
will watch it for latex suit and sex
Not all of them.
...
i am at /ELITIST/ tier.
thank god.
LOGH is vastly overrated by anime fans.
A lot of live action movies are equally or even more "juvenile," but it's ok because they're live action and that somehow changes everything.
And if you're so deathly afraid of anything "juvenile" then you can simply watch shows like Shirobako, Shouwa Genroku, Serial Experiments Lain and Aoi Hana instead.
>no Gundam
>no Macross
>no VOTOMS
Other than that, decent list.
>naruto
>bleach
>below Ghibli films
>No Haibane Renmei
Are you high? Or just retarded.
>below Ghibli films
no jojo's bizzare adventure?
berserk, shigurui, most of the good shit has been said
This one is fun, but it doesn't make sense until Season 2.
>''Ive never gotten past the 5 ish episode mark''
>''Wow this is overrated as fuck!''
>A lot of live action movies are equally or even more "juvenile
Sorry, but not everyone on Sup Forums watches only capeshit and other blockbusters.
Gundam isn't on that list because its story is best expressed through manga.
Gundam is first and foremost an anime series, I've never even heard anyone ever mention the manga.
>I don't personally watch them, so that makes them irrelevant!
Yeah, no.
I guess you are just easily impressed.
