I'm just thinking, when I was trying to watch a film I like with a non-anime fan I'd often put on Ghost in the Shell since I thought it's really highly rated and would be easy for a non-anime fan to watch. But this isn't the case, everyone I've watched it with hates it, which I find wierd since I think it's overall a really good film which is well known in normal film circles and is well regarded, and there isn't much of a reason to dislike it. I mean the artwork is 10/10, the setting is cool, the pacing is great, the action is exciting, its got good philosophical content and the ending is interesting. But non-anime fans who I watch it with hate it and I mean hate it with a passion and find it immensly boring even if they like live-action films with similar a similar tone or content.

So is it that the film has a lot of small anime quirks that throw non-weebs off? I mean I can't notice any but it might be the case. Maybe people don't like the dialogue but again this isn't something I understand. What do you think? Do you have similar experiences? I think its really interesting and I want to know more. I mean I'll put it out there that I love films in general but HATE stuff like Breaking Bad. Maybe I'm looking for different stuff or maybe its because I grew up with anime and I don't get thrown off with it.

Also, do you watch anime with random friends? I'm thinking of watching Patlabor 2 with my parents at Christmas since I think its right up their alley, but they didn't really like GitS so idk.

Don't forget UY: Beautiful Dreamer. Perfectly surrealistic while still being comical at times.

In which demographics? No, families don't count.

>blockbusters today have far more advanced technical visuals than indie films in the 70s, but that doesn't make them "look nicer". they look sterile
They look sterile because the CGI doesn't blend in very well. Practical effects blend in better while CGI that blends in better is more expensive to make and is just as difficult to implement I imagine.

>>24667
Yeah. Oshii’s always been really good at making movies that take a very “arthouse” approach but are still more accessible than most movies that get slapped with that label. Even Angel’s Egg I would argue is more accessible than most similarly abstract movies due to its brevity and being relatively straightforward in how it presents its themes

>>24666
People always hate on current films for looking "sterile" but will praise older films for being high quality graphics

When you experience "more than the average person" you get a bit pretentious, and as you experience more you start losing that and enjoying way more things. Like look at peoples top anime. Lots of people at 50 series watched will talk to you about the beauty of Tatami Galaxy and what it says about our lives, and it's all true. But then you watch more and you can appreciate the simple cartoonish comedy of Milky Holmes.

he might be referring to the mayoi snail episodes i think

>>22664
Irony is, most of our pop culture gatekeeping is mostly adults mocking teens for liking any current thing

>>22754
New wave artists started that

"Pretentious" "elitists" who only like "high-brow" stuff are always the perpetual boogeyman for people who cannot defend their own tastes. The actual anime industry continues to be dominated by shonen and LN/romcom pandering trash and artsy stuff has never remotely threatened that status quo or any status quo before it. You already live in the garbage heap you sought to create, stop being an annoying bitch and at least owe up to it.

I don't know the exact details but it doesn't sound true? At least for traditional animation (so anything pre-00s roughly) where you draw on paper and capture it on film, you don't have "resolution" in the conventional sense, so it doesn't make sense to say that it caps out at 720p.

>>24981
I mean if it airs as 720p on Japanese live TV are they really going to render it at 1080p or just upscale it for the losers streaming?

>>24963
Even if that was true, they'd upscale it with a better algorithm then whatever your video player is doing.

>>24990
I was thinking more of BD releases, streaming is a crapshoot yeah. It really depends on where the download is sourcing from, I'd guess it probably is upscales of a broadcast version in most cases. I just don't think it's *always* gonna be the case.

Just finished this show and it has become one of my favorites. On the surface this anime appears to be trash anime packed full of fan service, but on watching it the so called "trash anime" is brimming with substance. excellent character design, badass soundtrack, and one of the satisfying endings I have seen in a long time. This show can make a scene of a butt naked woman running around killing enemy's with nothing but her toe nail feel empowering and not at all exploitative and fan servicey. What are your guys opinion on the show?

I'm gonna be honest, I remember when this show was praised by leftypol years back and all sorts of analyses were made about how it's leftist and whatever. I never got that vibe, it just felt like the story was just a generic imitation of Yuri-Action anime from decades before as an excuse to show off skin. The animation style wasn't my thing either. People love to mock the fight of Pain vs the Nine Tails, yet a lot of the fights in Kill la Kill are literally the same kind of animation, except with some seizure inducing colors flashing.

>>24310
I think a good chunk of it is that it's nominally anti-fascist – as in the bad guys are literally fascists – but that aspect of it gets a bit muddled once the Elite Four are revealed to not be actual bad guys.
The "deconstruction of fanservice" aspect people talk about is dumb, KLK is quite literally the opposite, it's a show about being shameless about sex. That said this aspect of it is also muddled by the fact that the show oftentimes can't quite discern between "Ryuko shouldn't be ashamed of her body" and "Ryuko shouldn't care about all these people who keep touching her inappropriately".
I think comparing the fights with the Pain fight is a huge stretch but I do overall agree that they're very much in the generic "people stand around throwing big attacks with exaggerated animation" mold for the most part, they're actually my least favorite part of the show.
Overall KLK is just a beloved phenomenon so people want to feel like it's on their side. All political groups do this but leftists seem especially prone to it.

It can be interpreted as the rebels raising class consciousness in the military.

/leftypol/ users do be like that.

what is the best anime opening, and why is it naruto blue bird

Enough with good openings, lets change the subject to bad ones. The kind that immediately telegraphs the show is going to be garbage, thus sparing you wasting time watching it.

Almost every Naruto OP and ED was a banger

Craftsdwarf is the goat channel.

Honestly I love finding obscure channels that upload old anime movies and clips:
For example TCD Blazer https://www.youtube.com/@coledenny40/videos

Trash Taste is fun, Anime Man seems… fine (his takes are pretty generic though, CDawgVA has much more based takes but I don't think he has an anime channel), Mother's Basement is mega-cringe and Gigguk is mid. Honestly, I just search for anime myself, I don't need a YouTuber to hand it to me.

Delinquents/yankii/banchou/sukeban are so fucking cool.

I wanted to get into delinquent manga from the 70s-80s starting with Sakigake!! Otokojuku. I torrented the whole manga's raws to practice my Japanese, as well, but I could never get around to reading it.
Likewise, even though it's not 2D (but it is adapted from manga) I torrented all of Sukeban Deka and could never watch more than 1 episode.
Unfortunately, I lost them both when my laptop broke.

Could you please recommend more delinquent stuff? Even if it's just one character in a series that's not about delinquents. If there's something like a rec chart that'd be pretty cool. If, not, we could make one.

Honestly I think there may be more Sukeban works than Delinquent works and most of either are live action such as Sukeban: Taiman Shobu (1974).
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1900990/

It seems most of those stories also tended to come out in the 70s and 80s, with them being relegated to background stereotypes in later works as the subcultures died out.

The anime is better than the source material, because it actually has an ending that doesn't drag out. As a side note, considering how strange a concept it is, I'm extremely surprised at the lack of real R34, it's massive /d/-bait.

Rereading Goblin Slayer again and I think he's the one mc that all the girls being hot for him is justified for. Sure he's an autistic weirdo obsessed with KILLING ALL THE GOBLINS but at least as far as the standards of the setting are concerned that's really not all that bad.

the Violence Jack manga gets even more extreme than the OVA but 1. Nagai's simpler style makes it less disturbing 2. it's way more thoughtful than the OVAs. just in Evil Town alone it feels like Itano & whoever scripted it missed a lot of the subtext of the manga or intentionally threw it away. for some brief examples:

-in the manga the big conflict was caused by a coward playing to both sides (and giving them false info) save his ass

-the rape gangs metaphorically morphing into beasts and the really inventive drawings used when Jack slaughtered them were gotten rid of to have a more straightforward hentai rape scene and more straightforward & realistic "xxxtreme gore" after it

-the arc villain cannibalizing his dead trans gf was meant to be fucked up & pathetic: he completely lost his mind under extreme anger & desperation, so he did something completely unhinged, animalistic and nonsensical. in the OVA it looks like he legit gains a demonic transformation & super powers from it which makes no sense. you could say that was metaphorical too but given they didn't adapt the earlier nonliteral beastly transformations it doesn't read that way + even as a metaphor it doesn't make sense since he was more of a pathetic desperate cornered animal than a badass demon.

Thanks, just clarifying a muddled old memory.

I recently binged Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood and it's now my all-time favorite anime. But I read it as ML anti-imperialist agitprop, at least until the last episode with the redemption of Selim Bradley. I read the homuncali as the bourgeoisie constantly sending the nation to war to collect oil at the cost of human life and how we need an international proletarian revolution (which does mean American ex-miliary and the people they who's countries America has destroyed allying).

The first verse of my new song "Arkansan Proletariat" is about this very reading of FMAB: https://youtu.be/hdBvAbB9kV4?si=BrgWeX_QXGLeSLFa

I wonder if Dungeon Meshi will inspire more games to incorporate mechanics for nutrition since cooking is already a common part of crafting systems.

>>24864
unlikely, it would be too complicated for it to be added in to a game, cooking is just a extension of the crafting system that is often in a game just to add some “fat” charts and stats would be too “complicated” and might take attention away from the main stuff and mechanics.
