these new age 'flash' cartoons are a disgrace. I hate how theyre purposely animated badly under the guise of 'stoner comedies' so they can work with shoestring budgets while simultaneously getting hipster cred. i'm talking about stuff like stuff like highschool USA, archer, my li...

how do you feel about them? do you like them? do they infuriate you? are they more relatable than the typical cocksure shounen protagonist? I'm watching the flowers of evil right now and the main character makes Shinji look like captain harlock. he has to rank among the most spineless and wimpy ...

how is this 'trolling' exactly? its a question

people abuse the word trolling nowadays

probably queens blade

visual novels and its adaptations have ruined anime imo

some good answers in here.

do you think teenage years are just as romanticized in the west?

I recognize this is not only an anime thing but with all media everywhere, but what do you make of the obsession with teenage protagonists? in anime though I feel its even more amplified. you see the exaltation of teenage characters in mecha shows especially where some 14-year old kids are the only ...

she's a marketing machine

as its been stated numerous times, she's barely in the series (Rei is really the boba fett of evangelion in that sense) so how did this cult around Rei start? why did so many different anime pay homage to Rei? how many Rei clones have there been since eva?

double post, oops

now that I think about it, put hayley williams in a plugsuit and she would make a good Asuka http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PXAQD523Fsw/S7uJpU_gFhI/AAAAAAAAGE0/Ao-JWDKjdkw/s1600/hayley+williams.jpg http://images1.fanpop.com/images/photos/1400000/Hayley-Williams-hayley-williams-1456054-500-752.jpg she alr...

just explain what happened with kari at the very least and how they got away with that in a kids show

A moment that happens in every series of the franchise TBH, this series codified it though. In short, the Christ figure dies... and in a rather Narnia -esce way. But what's even more glorious is how Tamers itself warps what you could call the "rebirth" moment. Ooh, it gives me chills ...

I saw this exact thread on A4 earlier. I don't think any of those shows really deconstruct an established genre. School Days especially really isn't anything except a surprise ending and a hateable male lead. If that's enough to be genre subverting, then there's probably a lot that ...

what do you mean by 'full gundam'?

can you list some anime that attempts to deconstruct an established genre?

some of the top of my head are:

Evangelion - real robot genre

Madoka Magica - magical girl anime like sailor moon and card captor sakura

School days - harem/ecchi anime

can anyone list some more?

I watched Love & Pop (1998) and I enjoyed it. Anno's a really good cinematographer, some of the shots in that movie were really excellent
