Looks like something from the Moomin world.

thats what i was saying about anime, unless im wrong on the anime watching demographic.

Also thinking about it today, japan is punishing the anime and manga companies because hikkikkimorri's are being hikkikkimorri's.
Once again, a media form is taking the blame while it is truly the parents fault.
I am willing to admit that hikki's very well could be a problem that need fixing in japan, but the artists are not the ones that should suffer (and the prime minister is still bonkers)

>>13437
It's different to me.

My parents think that anime stuff and games where affecting the youth's mind. Causing to act like what they see there. Also they think anime is for kids. And those who are older watching it are retard.

>>13450

Yeah, that's life. However, people who do not watch anime can hardly have an opinion worth hearing.

As they say "ignorance is the root of all evil"

>>13451
To be fair, in the west, animation is a way to entertain the youth. It's had that quality since it's inception. Sure it can get moral and it can build itself a nice crop of characters, but everyone still thinks of it as kid's stuff.

>>13456

Isn't that comparing apples to oranges?

I wouldn't consider anime and western cartoons to be the same medium anymore.

EDIT: Forget it, we're going off on a tangent here.

Oh dear...

EX-TER-MI-NATE

Wasnt the best anime i've watched, pretty laughable at times.

I gave it a 3/5 at best,

Great opening theme, great series.

I didn't care for the cliffhanger ending though.

manga goes further and might even be more awesome.

don't expect to be able to finish it and come out a happy, healthy minded human being though.

Never before has a series been so defined by its OP.

Or has an ED sucked so much.

Or have individual side characters been so much better than the main ones.

The manga gets really weird.

My favorite was the mercenary who punched a lady in the face for standing behind him. That was seriously his reason. "Don't fucking stand behind me, bitch". And he never died no matter how greivous of an injury he received, he just got new bionic parts.

And then there was the researcher who kept worrying that she'd die a virgin, or that she'd die before she got to take a shower since she'd missed taking them for the past few days, but she wasn't actually afraid of getting killed.

Of all the people Lucy brutally murdered without hesitation or remorse, and often with very little reason, I was surprised she didn't butcher Kouta's sister. At least it would be a welcome subtraction. God she was pissy.

>At least it would be a welcome subtraction. God she was pissy

Thank you.
Also, I think she was his cousin or something, but whatever.

EDIT:

>13414

Not I. Well it wasn't bad. But I sure as hell didn't LOVE it.

Yeah, the angels just didn't do it for me. If anything evolved that fast it'd just get cancer and die.

That aside, I might give the movies a whirl. Atleast they are only an hour or two :P

You guys may be interested in reading these...

(Bear in mind these are very long essays, so you might want to set a lot of time aside for these)
NGE has a ton of symbolism buried into it, and this is just one (deep) interpretation. I personally "enjoyed" the show. At the very least, it's unique and not the random trash that so many kids watch nowadays (like what so many of my friends watch...)

>>13400
Oh yes, let me put a link to the author's website in case you guys want to verify that this is a reputable author. He's got some other essays up there too

>>13400
Although, i will admit, yes it had some deep symbolism, and yes it stands alone from the shovel-ware cookie-cutter anime, but running out of steam and botching the end makes it seem like Gantz-too much senseless violence...

>>13400
>>13402

Quite lengthy indeed. I've read a portion of it but I've already wasted too much time watching the series, and cannot afford to waste time reading this behemoth of a review.

Perhaps subtle cultural influences are lost on me, as I am neither from Japan nor fluent in their history.

However, I find he speaks too vaguely about matters. I'll give him the point about stronger rolls of women, sure, but that is about it. What I have read so far has been vague, rather than representing specific scenes he speaks of generalities and their derivations from events in history. So frankly, I have to call bullshit on a lot of his review. Hell, I could write 54 pages on "Where's Waldo" but that doesn't mean my points are any stronger.

I'll try to read the rest of it when finals are over (I'm still interested)

But thanks for posting them! :)

Never heard of.

>>13388

Also >moe

This looks relevant to my interests. I will be checking this out.

Mmmmm..a meal of maids

>>13354
Thanks, I will. I'll probably like it.

Edit: Hahaha! This is actually pretty good! The main character reminds me of me (Temperament-wise), and it's pretty funny. I think I'll watch it all.

No tsundere? Pffffgh.

Also, OP's pic looks more like battle of the chimeras, but we all know that the best chimera is Teto Kasane.

>13337

Like half the stuff here didn't come from 4chan? No need to be an elitist prick.

OP, going to have to go with Moetron (right) myself.

The other one.
