ATTACK ON TITAN
The best anime I ever saw in my short life

☭　☭　☭　☭　☭　☭　☭　☭　☭　☭　☭　☭　☭ : Plot. The story of Attack on Titan revolves around the adventures of Eren Yeager, Mikasa Ackerman, and their childhood friend Armin Arlert who once lived in the town of Shinganshina.

[The Corparation]

No

Why?

Because it's not very good. Decent premise but terrible execution. I actually quite like the early bits and it has some of my favorite fight scenes but once the plot kicks into really high gear things fall to pieces. Maybe if the director hadn't gone insane and the studios wallet run dry things would be diffrent.

Should I watch NGE?

Yes.

Even if you don't like it, NGE is one of those shows that has had such an impact on the rest of the anime industry and culture as a whole that you should watch it, just to be aware it exists. I happen to like NGE, but I think it's worth watching regardless just based on its legacy.

It has had nowhere near as big an impact as people think it has. It's largest impact is probably people thinking it had a major impact despite not actually doing so.

I have no watched one in 10 years.

They all became to gore-ish.

They excist?

It seems to be a hobby of the makers to murder androgynous boys in degrading a painful ways.
And that gives me anxiety attacks.

Laid-Back Camp and High School Babysitter

The first one is literally about camping.

The second is two orphans who lost their parents in an airplane crash, who are taken in by an old woman who runs a school. The oldest who is in high school, and the other who is a toddler. They live in this lady's house, who has a butler might I just add, and after school, the oldest help run the daycare at that school. The show has some sad moments to it, but also hilarious moments too. Good show, any real form of violence is more for comedy plot to it. And there is a tsundere too (best).

Should I watch NGE?

Yes. It's a fascinating look into what happens when an artist falls into the pits of mental illness.

It's a very rare sight. Like that one guy who drew cats and then became a schizophrenic who drew cats.

[dryly]That discourse about GuP makes me guess that if there were about CGDCT slice-of-life about laser tag tournament, there should be facet where participants carry lasers w/power packs strong enough to vaporize flesh and their guns have RNG that occasionally replaces "TAG!" setting with "VAPORIZE!" setting[/dryly]

I distinctly remember that anime being made, actually, and it was poorly received for exactly the same reasons I outlined.

I think the reason it was like that is because he was giving otaku culture the middle finger.

The Gainax stalker certainly aggravated Hideaki Anno's mental condition but he was apparently depressed before that, midway through production of the show.

Also... Gainax had other issues at the time as well.

Gainax's shifty accounting practices ending in their CEO being arrested for tax fraud, a mostly-finished script for the second half of the show having to be completely rewritten because of a plot point being too similar to the Aum Shinrikyo cult's terrorist attack on the Tokyo subway, sponsors pulling out in droves once the show dove off the deep end... Yeah, it's amazing that they even managed to finish that show, even with all the budget-saving Limited Animation at the end. Do we have another candidate for the Apocalypse Now of anime?
On top of all of that, Gainax was just coming out of its worst financial period, made notable that at the time of Evangelion's production, there were only three employees, due to a lack of making anime from the last few years, (Almost the rest of the previous staff had left to form other studios such as Gonzo) which resulted with the vast majority of animation done at Tatsunoko Production, which ended up with a lot of production issues, even before the infamous second half. Reportedly, the producers even claimed it was a miracle that the anime was even a success.
The third Rebuild of Evangelion movie was hit with this was well. In addition to massive script rewrites and some very unpopular creative decisions, Anno had another Creator Breakdown while working on it. In interviews, he revealed that working on the series again had brought back his serious bouts with depression, and that he'd often go for long periods of time without even showing up to the studio. He credits his friend Hayao Miyazaki and working on Shin Godzilla for helping him through this troubled period and his eventual Creator Recovery. Incidentally, that Shin Godzilla gig led to the fourth and final Rebuild film rotting in Development Hell, with its release date (initially in 2013) being repeatedly pushed back or revised.
The English dub for Evangelion 3.33 has suffered its own share of problems. Funimation had originally announced that that the dub would be released on DVD in February 2014, but Anno's apparent dissatisfaction with the job they did led the company to re-record the entire thing and push back the release date to February 2, 2016.

Ano wasn't giving Otaku the middle finger. Ano was and still is an Otaku at heart. He wasn't exactly happy with Otaku culture while making the show (due to being a mental train wreck at the time) but it was hardly a middle finger.

Going back through my posting history... I just realized that I've had this conversation about Girls und Panzer... Twice, at the very least.

viewtopic.php?p=21760762#p21760762

This one mentions the boring airsoft anime.

And also, Sabagebu, which has hilarious scenes of a platypus getting into a shoot-out and several schoolgirls getting caught in the crossfire. It's hyper-reality ala Nichijou but goddamn there's something weirdly graphic about them.

viewtopic.php?p=28685599#p28685599

And also this series of posts, which Pretantia never addressed back then.

Probably because then you weren't seething at the idea that an anime with girls driving tanks wasn't trying to be edgy. Then you and Ameri started lying about the show...

Did I even watch GuP in 2014?

... You're kidding, right?

In that post I basically said Girls und Panzer was everything wrong with high schools, both in anime and in real life, and lumped it in with School Days, one of the worst anime of all time.

You weren't seething nearly as much then. Plus, like I said, the lies.

[Koalatopolis]

I just finished Death Note and One Punch Man. Now I have no idea what else to watch...

Any recommendations?
