is anime fundamentally just "<X> but with pretty girl"?
>>283600021NoObviously And everything that pushes it towards becoming that is an enemy of creativity
>>283600047You're mentally ill
yesobviouslypretending otherwise does not make you smart
>>283600021OP is a fag, once again.>>283600047FPBP>>283600080>>283600852Jeets or other subhuman
>>283600080Why do you say that
>>283601179name one anime which is not <x> but with pretty girl
>>283601344Dragon Ball
>>283601379Adventure through the world with a pretty girl.
>>283601414Just because she's there doesn't mean that's what it is If that counts, you have to cut out everything that has a pretty girl in it at all And then you're cutting out a whole lot more than just most anime, you're excluding loads of shit from anywhere and everywhere
>>283601453Ok
>>283601379dragon ball has lots of cute girls and the main charactrers all start families with themtry again loser
>>283600021No, because there's also x but with hot guys
>>283601619The existence of cute girls is not the same as "thing but with cute girl"
>>283601414>>283601619Dragon Ball did not explode in popularity because of cute girls, it was because of grown men fighting to the death. Stop being disingenuous.
>>283602077Dragon ball exploded in popularity way before Z.
>>283601453Bulma and her fan service scenes are the reason why Dragon Ball kicked off.
>>283601414It's a religious allegory though
>>283601414The original template is "<x> BUT with pretty girl", like the "Die Hard in/on an <x>" bit. Thus, if for every anime you substitute the pretty girl with something else, you should end up with an "<x>" that preceded the anime.So try finding the "<x>" for the following: Cromartie High School (2003), FLCL (2000), The Irresponsible Captain Tylor (1993), Mobile Suit Gundam (1979), Neon Genesis Evangelion (1995), Revolutionary Girl Utena (1997), Samurai Flamenco (2013).
>>283602107Early Dragon Ball's popularity is in no way comparable to Z.
>>283602516It's thanks to that early Dragon Ball popularity that you got Z.
>>283600021When it's not 30 minutes of dull, monster of the week/season combatslop, yeah. Anime is only good if there are cute moe blobs.
>>283602077>Dragon Ball did not explode in popularity because of cute girls,Absolutely braindead takeBulma's panties were CRUCIAL
>>283602198you fool, pretty women are involved in all of those!...even Cromartie!
>if i can find ONE exception that means you are WRONG > HEH ;-)autism
>>283603211As previously explained, simply having a pretty girl is not sufficient.
