  This AMV makes me want an Akira live-adaptation movie even more.
  Thanks for revving up my appetite, OP.

  God this reminds me how fucked that anime is. People use the words "classic" and "masterpiece" to
  describe it but I just think it's really fucked up.

  Elfen lied was terrible

  Apparantly it inspired Stranger things

  But goddamn, after a decent intro, it just fell back into those same terrible anime tropes.

  Why can't Japan make good, inventive, challenging things again instead of rehashing the same old
  tired anime tropes and just changing the coat of paint?

  Agreed on the first point, but if you don't like NGE, you can go suck a fuck, sir

  If Cyberpunk 2077 effectively becomes Akira: the Video Game, that'd be intense as fuck.

  >>3144513
  Personally, anime is more interesting in concept than anything else. The reason people like FMA
  is because the way alchemy is depicted in it is genuinely interesting (even if the characters in
  the show have less-than-modern understandings of chemistry). The reason people like Cowboy Beebop
  is because it's a space-based spaghetti western with a noir detective twist. If there's any
  reason to dislike anime, I'd imagine it would have to do with either aesthetic or tropes (the
  latter of which is what seems to annoy people the most).

  Personally, I find that most mediums of entertainment suffer from things that consistently bring
  them down and with anime, it's its cheesiness that hurts it the most.

  BUT, if you're willing to give one more show a shot, I'd definitely recommend watching JoJo's
  Bizarre Adventure. And the reason I suggest this is because I really feel like it's a story worth
  experiencing and it'd be a shame if it was missed out on just because it was an anime. Does it
  suffer from anime tropes? For the most part, no, but characters do still go on Shakespearean
  aside spiels from time to time.

  JoJo's can be summarized as a Bram Stoker-esque Vampire-hunting legacy saga of a family's
  struggle to kill one single vampire that continues to haunt their line with misfortune. It is
  incredibly cheesy but more along the lines of a western comic book and that's something I find to
  be amazing since it manages to be cheesy but genuinely interesting at the same time. The writing
  is very west-inspired and character security is fragile. Despite being an anime, I'd have to say
  that watching JoJo's felt like I was watching an animated adaptation of a D&D campaign because it
  felt like any of the main characters could die at any moment.

  >>3144546
  lol.
  tl;dr I write a huge appeal for JoJo's because I think it's great. Vampires, 1800's England, etc.

  watched first episode and it's shit
  is the rest of the show like this? mumbling during the fights? having monologues inside their
  heads? or is it episodic and in the third episode will be something different?

>> [_] Anonymous 09/07/16(Wed)10:34:45 No.

  >>3144552
  bakk

  I don't get how inner-monologues are a bad thing. Books don't really get a bad rap for it. Mostly
  it just exists so they can give you an idea of the character's intent without having to take
  entire scenes to make the characters have a sit-down chat with someone else about said thoughts.

  Regarding chit-chat during fights, that's to highlight inter-character rivalry. From a
  story-telling side of things, it makes it way easier to build rivalries from any angle. That's
  why you've got conflict-based anime based on all sorts of things, including basketball and
  boxing. In fact, I'm certain there's probably going to be an anime at some point about two
  bankers trying to ruin each other's lives. Instead of the world being their stage, the characters
  themselves are supposed to be the stage with the world just being a thing that exists around
  their struggle (i.e. the world serves plot. not vice versa).

  If this kind of story-telling is incompatible with you, I guess there's not much I can do in that
  department since personal taste is just part of the Human experience.

  I will, however, say that action scenes in JoJo's are less about pure action and more about
  highlighting the cunning of the characters. This also goes into the whole matter of "the
  characters are the stage". So, instead of intense and over-the-top choreography in fight scenes
  like you'd see in an action movie, you get characters trying to scheme against each other.

  If you want something that's pure action, I'd recommend One Punch Man. Basically, a show about
  power-creep regarding one character where the mundane actions of other super heroes only serves
  to ramp up the demonstrations of hilariously absurd amounts of power the main-character has to
  the point that the show can't avoid being noticed as a parody of other shows with over-powered
  main characters that can't lose.

  But if waiting for the absolute best stuff isnt to your taste, Id recommend looking up "Saitama v
  Genos" or "Saitama v Boros"

  By books you mean comics and mangas? Because regular books don't have pictures depicting acts.

  Here it's already been established that Dio is a fucking brat that hated his father and how he
  kicked the dog. There wasn't any inner monologue explaining 'why' in those parts and it was fine
  and if it was kept that way I'm sure everyone would get that he's after taking everything from
  Jojo but instead they deliberately have monologues explaining every little thing.

  I've watched OPM in hopes it truly is a parody of other super natural fighting animes but after
  4th or 5th ep (where they introduce the super hero association) it turned out to be exactly as
  any other supernatural fighting anime so I consider it as such.

>> [_] Anonymous 09/07/16(Wed)11:26:02 No.

  >>3144569
  I thought the whole Dio trying to dominate JoJo's life thing was made quite concise with the only
  time consuming aspect of it being the myriad ways he was trying to do it. But yes, there are
  times when characters will allude to things that are made obvious and while I'd like to brush it
  off as being intentionally cheesy by the show itself, it is a tad off-putting to know that while
  I'll be lightly annoyed at it but try to ignore it for the sake of appreciating the actual story,
  it's definitely something that tries the patience of the viewer since it almost implies that the
  person watching is too dumb to gather these details on their own.

  Regarding OPM and the hero association, I guess that was just the author trying to give the hero
  something for their actions (i.e. they do so much and yet they live in a crappy apartment and
  have to scrounge for coupons to get by on an average life-style). And as far as having a story
  that serves action, I guess the author was just running out of stuff he could just have Saitama
  do on his own and decided that he would do action sequences for other characters to make room for
  Saitama to step in.

  Or maybe, I'm just giving too much credit to creators. I just figure that if there's a flaw in
  something that's made, the creator either had a reason for it or they just weren't good enough to
  make what their idea had potential for (like how >>3144444 effectively described Elfen Leid as
  interesting but with failed sustained execution).

  But as I'm writing this, I realize that I can't really think of an anime that has a good story
  but no spelling out of things that are obvious to the viewer. I mean, there's Kids on the Slope.
  Not sure if a light-romance coming-out-of-the-shell show with jazz as an instrument to bring
  about personal change strikes your fancy but I recall watching it and being delightfully
  surprised that it only managed to dip into the trope container an entire two times throughout its
  12 episodes.

  cont'd.

  I'll try to think of some other stuff that had a good story with no hand-holding, if I can. I
  mean, I've not watched [every single anime] but I've watched some.

  Oh, yeah! Nichijou was pretty good. A skit comedy show, basically. Very little continuity, a lot
  of situational humor based on personal tragedy (i.e. someone is made to stand in the hall for
  disrupting class and they witness an intense battle between the principle and the deer which
  escalates to principle pile-driving the deer. The personal tragedy aspect of this situation being
  that they can't alert anyone to what's going on because they'll be accused of being disruptive
  and making things up). It does really well with comedic timing and build up. Some jokes are
  better than others, obviously, and on some episodes you might find yourself not really being into
  the comedy at all until an actual funny situation occurs. As with most comedy, escalation is the
  name of the game, and this does it well for the most part.

  However, I will note that some jokes I just found funny because they were weird. Shock humor
  stops being funny to most folk but I just happened to hold onto it, I guess.

  Actually, I think it would be interesting to see an interview segment made where someone goes
  around asking manga artists or anime studios why they do those spiels of apparent details.

  It might be them trying to save money on an animation budget by keeping things still for longer
  or it might have to do with limitations of black and white imagery in manga (i.e. things might
  not be conveyed in the way they're meant to be because of a lack of colors to provide more
  details images (though this doesn't always apply specifically to imagery so I guess that excuse
  might be out the window)).
