Is there a name for this sub-genre of things that people only post the same 2 gifs of and never discuss the story or characters because those elements were incredibly fucking lackluster yet the films/shows consistently sneak their way into people's top 50 just because they look nice/have a really confident aesthetic? Pat Labor 2 is also absolutely this. There must be a name for this
It's called /a/core
>>287103774Aesthetics are enough.
What same two gifs
All Oshii movies are extremely one watch oriented. I like cyberpunk so I rewatch gits though.
>>287103774When it comes to animation, specially film-length animation, plot can be nice (personally im a fan of characters more) and if it has a good and engaging one it IS a plus, but it is far from the most important aspect of the piece. Good fluid animation, ambitious visuals, harmonious music are all something i value more when i go watch an animated feature film.t.Fantasia is my favorite animated movie
>>287103828damn i didnt realize all the things i know this for are from Oshii, that sucks lol his sense of aesthetics are really good but the guy cannot write compelling characters/drama outside of ghost in the shell, and even gits is a bit dry in that department at times.
>>287103774that sounds like mainstream anime gifs
>>287103902yeah patlabor and jin roh are eye wateringly beautiful in terms of their animation, but where i differ from you is that I believe IF a film is going out of its way to have dialogue and character drama and all of these things, i want it to keep up with the visuals. for example a guy like yasua feels like he has a consistently better balance between ambitious visuals and character/dialogue/story than oshii, despite yasuas visuals being sketchier/less refined of course
>>287103774There are simple stories that don't leave the place for the discussion but it doesn't make them worse. Learn to appreciate the art of simplicity

>>287103774>No punctuation>Complaining about rightwing mediaYep it's a tranny thread
>>287103824
Jin-Roh is top credge.
>>287103774>never discuss the story or characters because those elements were incredibly fucking lacklusterMind you explain?
>>287103774This movie is pretty based though.
>>287103774no but there's a name for the sub-genre of people like youretarded faggots
>>287106467Struck a nerve, huh
>>287104043Then we will just have to disagree since between a film with outstanding aesthetics with a lacking story aspect and a movie that is just good on both subjects i will most of the time prefer the former over the latter.If we were talking about something lengthier like a tv series then i would be more aligned with your preference, as while i do think of myself as a more of a visuals kind of guy, no matter how nice it is to look at i will eventually need some more mental stimulus during 24+ episodes of content.
>>287104043Idk, man, i think oshii can have good dialogue and drama. Patlabor 2 has a superb script. Granted, Tv and the ovas did the heavy lifting in terms of characterization, and you need to like both Gotoh and Shinobu, but still, i think it serves as a good capping stone of the SUV2.
>>287103774the intro was fantastic and got you immediately invested. plot and characters were also good when you think about them after finishing the anime, or when rewatching ithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQ1Jy93tE10
>>287103774Vibe is enough. No need to discuss about why you enjoyed an anime with a specific vibe.
>DURR DOES THIS SPECIFIC THING HAVE A NAME?why are zoomers like this
>>287103774People come with expectations of action flick and instead they get slow romance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATBrK_hlvek
>>287107976I wouldn't call it romance, more like a parable about duty. Wolves can't live as humans, even if they want to
>>287108278The wolf stuff is very heavy handed but I did find it's themes about incompatibility interesting. I feel like most creators would have had the story include the protagonist learning to live as a human. Acknowledging that it was impossible for him to be any different is surprisingly harsh
>>287109345He did learn to live as a human. That was his cover. The ending is him either choosing or being forced to leave it behind him.
>>287103774Yeah it's called anime for sophisticated grow ups. There's no need to discuss plot or characters because understanding is implicit.
>>287105078yeah OP is a brainletJin Roh does have a good story but it doesn't quite fit the first impression some might get based on the aesthetics, simple as. They watch it expecting a shooty shooty bang bang right wing death squad kind of film meanwhile it's a rather slow drama with tragic love story.
>>287104457shounen is very brown, paco
>>287103774because some movies are about experience, not plotyou can call it experience-core or atmospheric-core
>>287103774Heisei-era OVAs.
