I've noticed that anime and manga have preserved, quite unchanged, lots of charcteristics from like 70s and 80s exploitation movies and other pop culture flotsam.
Basically its like: >Build a plot around some niche or unusual premise, like girls working in a coffee shop or something >Make all the girls hot for sex appeal >Exaggerated sexual humour, exaggerated violence >Unabashed sincerity even if the whole thing is ridiculous >A strange mix of creativity and banality >Stupid fun, but sometimes more stupid than fun >Product placement maybe
Basically, consider this.Have you ever heard of Warrior Nun Areala?Probably not--It's some shitty 90s comic. But who would even make bullshit like this today, and sell it to western audiences? Even if they weren't woke moralfags, they'd be too irony-poisoned to give themselves over to the impossible cheese of it
Japs seem to have whole different philosophy with regards to Irony vs Sincerity and "Did-it-For-Fun" vs "Did-it-to-be deep".
People will cook up huge ass essays about why this means this in that anime but when the creator is asked they just say they did it because it "seemed cool" or was "more marketable"
And when they try to be deep it's either 14 year old emo shit (Naruto) or too obtuse to wrap your head around (Rahxephon)

more like every other movie before 2010 i cant even describe current movies other than capeshit, jumpscares, or scenic porn

You're describing Anno and claiming that everyone else is like that, which is retarded and assumes Japanese creators have no need to express themselves or explore subjects they find fascinating.
Jeremiah Flores
You don't read author comments very often, huh?
Austin Barnes
I listen to audio commentaries included with the BDs and I know for a fact you're full of shit thinking everyone is like Anno.
Ayden Garcia
Wikipedia calls it manga-style comic. The glasses guy in the shadow reminds me of some anime characters like Professor Tomie or Shiroe from Log Horizon.
if there's some gay video analysis of it then yeah people do try to big think what is essentially a puddle
Ryder Clark
Fans are allowed to interpret a work they like.
Charles Walker
=/= truth
hence

Alexander Cox
You're still describing Evangelion and claiming everything else is like that.
Andrew Brooks
you can literally take a step outside of this thread
Robert Price
That's not an argument.
Joseph Davis
but only saying >the only happens for evangelion is
You're posting fan interpretations and opinions, not directors pulling a Anno and going "it just looked cool lol".
Julian Ross
>Have you ever heard of Warrior Nun Areala?
I have. I own that comic, it's lying around in a box somewhere. It's pretty cheesy and ridiculous. It's trying to be sexy and fantastical in a Slayers-kind of way.
>nyaa >and demon slayer any you can pull out demon slayer zoomer? where's the 20 others?
Samuel Thomas
This damage control is giving me secondhand embarrassment, just admit you're wrong and stop acting like yet another bratty newfag. You can't prove directors often do what Anno did because you don't even know Japanese nor know where to look for audio commentaries. The end.
so ultimately YOUR point was you "listened" (doubt) to the demon slayer commentary track (you dont own the BD) and that applies for every anime out there
