that's a tautology

Sonny Boy threads are filled with shitflinging between the fans and the assmad.

It's more of a pleonasm

>Madoka and Eva threads filled with people engaging the actual substance of said work
>Sonny boy threads filled with people pretending that Japanese cartoons can carry enough philosophical weight to compare to actual philosophy. implying that fiction should try to pin philosophical depth as it's selling point rather then as a secondary element to the actual story being told
Also Lain threads are like 80% art.

Lain just has no ship material. What are you going to do, ship Lain with that one classmate that's barely a character? The only thing it has going for it is the 2deep4u material. Meanwhile, both Eva and Madoka is built upon its characters, with the relationships between each other playing a big part, so of course shipfags are going to care about it more than they care about Lain.
Though I haven't seen Sonny Boy yet so I can't comment on that.

Poor madoka threads. It's even worse. There's a yurifag larping as antiyurifag.

madoka has been talked to death. Excep;t for a few dedicated retarded schizos who want to use it to canvas their weird online grudge wars like ACK and kyoukonigger most dont talk about madoka much because it's a very straight forward magical girl fantasy with a deconstruction that is so simple but far reaching that it doesn't need deep analysis for people to understand at least on the surface level what they are seeing. The only people I have seen misunderstand the content of the show or struggle with it are women and normally iits in the same way as the schizos, who are unable to differentiate the values of the show from their own personal beliefs except as a confirmation there of. They do not see, for example, a flawed character like sayaka and reflect on their own behavior, nor understand she is meant to be superhuman in morals (so that there is no doubt that even that level of true believer cant make it). they cannot see how her journey can be representative of a very male experience of fighting for something that is ignored, given away, and mocked in that order, followed by a swift death.

This kind of character can be analyzed but people don't need to do that. It's obvious shes a justice fag, it's obvious that her purity in mind and action is the cause of her misfortune. Unless you have some kind of feminist brain rot culture war going on in your head it's also very obvious whom this character is meant to represent in the drama. Madoka is a show that works so well because the audience doesn't need to dive 3deep 5(you) to understand the characters.

It's a baseball league here in the world of Monkey Mountain,
played by the great monkeys, which started when the first ball and bat
and the rules of the game were handed down to them.
In the Monkey League, a number of great players arose
from among the nameless monkeys,
whose faces and appearances all looked the same.
They included the legendary home run king,
who batted an unprecedented, record-breaking
80 home runs in one year, Steroid Monkey;
the one who bested the god of batting, Monkey River's career batting average
by two thousandths, the miracle hitting machine, Upper Monkey;
the greatest catcher of the Bigfoot era, Mister Monkey;
later, as manager, he would go on to break the record for most league wins,
with a legendary ten-season-long streak!
Then came the golden age of the M-League.
A miracle monkey came along
and shattered those previous legends one by one--
the monster, Monkey Blue!
This maverick of the league was the only one with blue hair,
who, despite weathering ugly discrimination and crafty persecution,
triumphed over them with overwhelming talent, ultimately becoming a hero,
and a symbol of hope for the monkeys!
Although a rookie, Blue put the brakes to the king, Steroid Monkey!
Breaking his bat as well as his heart, Blue drove him to retirement.
Then, with his mighty pitching arm,
Blue led the underdog team Monkey and Club to victory,
preventing Bigfoot's championship streak from reaching 11.
The public accepted this new hair color,
and there was no doubt in anybody's mind
that the era of Monkey Blue had begun! But then...
...that great tragedy, when a near-perfect game was foiled,
and a monkey was killed, took place!
