I find it interesting that Roger Ebert always understood and defended anime like nobody else out of the boomer critics.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtoEmqHpskI
Back then anime was different thYou had cute stuff, serious stuff and bizarre stuffNow you only have gay shit
>>291386941That makes sense. He hated realistic films.
He hates video games so he's based in my book
Why should I care about this old faggot?
>>291387248Because he's dead.
>>291386941He wasn't defending shit like To Heart, just the normalfag stuff you can show at international film festivals like Miyazaki schlock, Ghost in the Shell, etc.
>>291387248Saw some videos of him and his co-host talking about anime films. His co-host was the most faggotish normalfag.
I wish we could've gotten his opinions on NGE or any Ikuhara anime
>>291386941He lost. Dragon Quest is art. kamige is art. DQ's a cultural artefact of Japan. Only base Western slop is low-value. He fails to understand this distinction.
>>291387387he never saw it, if he did he'd defend it before his normalfag peers
>>291386941Ebert always understood that animation is so much more than children's stories. All he cares about is if the movie is great or not, that's why some of his highest rated films are animated films and Superhero films and also why he had so much praise for Pixar(this was before they were Disneyfied and started making crap).
>>291387924No he wouldn't
>>291388290yeah he would. He defended the Pokemon movie
>>291387248This
>>291388332Normalfaggot shit for kids, of course he'd have little problem with it
>>291388374>Normalfaggot shit for kidsjust like To Heart, so
>>291388537I could kill you with my bare hands and it wouldn't even be difficult
I like how he still pisses gaymers off despite having been dead for over a dozen years now
>>291388637He caused devs to go onto such a spiral they continue to prove him right to this day. Videogames cannot be art when they have an inferiority complex over a completely different medium and are trying to soullessly mimic it.
>>291389052it's a shame that nothing has surpassed asscreed III's modern storyline
Lucky Star was his favorite anime
>>291386985truth.
>>291386941The other dude's description of Metropolis is so fucking hilarious. Rarely seen anyone shit on a movie this hard.
>>291386941Nigga are you stupid, he only defended libshit leftist bullshit like Miyazaki, remember, Ebert was a çücklib who claimed that Conan and Dirty Harry were fascists.
chinless faggot
>>291387387It's still very surprising for a legitimate boomer to give a positive view towards any anime.
>>291388637It's more like he pissed off the theater kids who got into the hobby, who sadly took it over.
>>291386941I remember Siskel the skinny one died of a heart attack a long time ago, no way this fat fuck is still alive.
>>291393878Well yeah, he died in like the 2000s/2010s.
He was old enough to remember when the American animation industry made mature cartoons for mature audiences instead of making 20 minute commercials for plastic toys. Him and Grandpa Tomino could've shared laughs at how soulless the toy company suits were on both sides of the Pacific.
>>291393476Go back retard >>>/pol/
>>291386941ebert was famous for always giving "black" movies positive reviews because he had a black wifeas an objective source of criticism, he's disqualified
>>291394567So true. Anyway I have an Asian wife and this makes my take on anime a lot more authoritative jsyk(you may roll your eyes at the satire but this sort of thing gets said countless times on this board with no hint of irony or awareness)
