>>221027851
but all of those stories in anime were ripped off from western sci-fi literature

>>221027851
The only good anime you even posted is the one on the left, the other two are glorified oldshit that are mostly built on legacy reputation more than anything.

>>221027851
>Could western films ever come up with the kinds of stories like these here?
Yes, they could come with milquetoast time travel stories like Steins;Gate, and have done for decades before it

>>221027958
Steins;Gate is the best anime posted there.

If you ask me there are actually very few good sci-fi animes, which is a shame because sci-fi is one of those genres that obviously benefits a lot from animation, and yet there are far more animes about mundane shit that would be extremely easy to film IRL.
(And BTW stuff like NGE I don't count as sci-fi for this purpose same as I don't count stuff like Marvel movies as sci-fi no matter what nerds may argue)

>>221028001

>>221027851

>>221028041
>If you ask me there are actually very few good sci-fi animes
You say that as if OP didn't just post 3 of them.

>>221027851
Dr Who > Steins
Blade Runner > GITS
Power Rangers > Gundam

>>221028135
3 among thousands is very few, relatively speaking.
And I know that there are more, but my point is that for every anime you can think of that qualifies as good sci-fi there are countless more that don't.

>>221028176
Power Rangers is a "war-is-hell" drama in space?

it's hilarious to me that weebs believe insane things like "japs invented cyberpunk" because they simply never watch/read anything that's not japanese so it looks to them like the japs invented everything. do the japs themselves think they invented everything or is it just a weeb delusion? wesu wasu kangsu

>>221028186
>And I know that there are more, but my point is that for every film you can think of that qualifies as good sci-fi there are countless more that don't.

Yes? They've both more and better sci fi than the three you posted there.

>>221027851

Watched the first four episodes, it was so boring that I couldn't continue.

fuck anime. Even when the concept and art are great, the storytelling usually still sucks. A classic anime move is to have a seemingly-great film gradually peter out until ending with a ten-minute exposition sequence.

if you need to spend the last act of your film explaining everything, you failed at storytelling

Unironically all worse than the anime you're comparing them to.
Back to the Future is a campy 80s romp. It does not explore time travel in any kind of thorough or complex way like SG does.
And Star Wars is lowbrow fantasy in space. Come the fuck on.

>>221027851
Stein's Gate is more about the otaku subculture than science fiction. GitS and Gundam weren't doing anything that Western sci-fi novels hadn't done before that point.

>hurr hurr hurr in one timeline my girlfriend is a girl, but in one timeline she has a penis

Time travel was already sufficiently explored as a concept by Ray Bradbury's time.

>>221029496
Gotta be real desu, Doctor Who's Matt Smith run had a lot of fun with time travel shenanigans.

>>221029529
12 Monkeys has the best kind of time travel.
There are no other dimensions or butterfly effects or any of that convoluted shit that comes from trying to excuse changes. It's all a closed loop. They were in the past because they will go back in time, and they go back in time because they already went back in time. What happened already happened, and the past is the past.

>>221029559
I'm starting to think you're the ones that are mentally ill for claiming some of the absolute slop you people are posting in the thread are better stories.

>>221029512
Do super robots or real robot appeal more to you?
Watch mazinger, goldrake, jeeg and daitarn for the former (mazinger has an alright 2009 reboot that should work as an entry point but I recommend going back to the originals too and develop an acquired taste for the quirks of the genre)
For the latter check out gundam, macross, votoms and patlabor

>>221029361
funny how the exact people who use media for status signaling (bro it's so COMPLEX it's so HIGHBROW i'm very SMART) don't have taste at all and end up defending random crap over enduring works of culture

>>221027851
Ghost innthe shell is blade runner with tits and ass. Gundam is Starship Tropper (thr novel) with shiny colors, Steins Gate is just twelve monkeys with cute girls.

Maybe you should read more novels and watch more films before jumping to anime, OP.

>>221029688
Ghost In The Shell is much better.

>>221029614
Better than Tranny gate. You notice how I don't have anything against GITS or Gundam? There's a reason tranny gate is mocked even on /a/.

>>221029688
Stein's Gate isn't 12 Monkeys.
They have completely different rules.

Reminder that tranny gate is hated even on /a/ they defend ANY WEEB SLOP.

>>221029723
>Better than Tranny gate. You notice how I don't have anything against GITS or Gundam?
Yeah because your taste is dogwater and anyone outside of this specific board on this specific website would be able to see it.

>>221027851
GiTS is carried hard by the dogshit animation and awfully dated visuals, Gundam is too long and Steins;Gate has some serious pedo vibes.

>>221029614
but star wars, back to the future etc are in fact better stories. it's just that being good stories has made them wildly popular so the type of guy that you are can't derive any satisfaction from liking them and you have to instead swear allegiance to schoolgirru pantsu hikokikomiko 7.

No. You're a slopster.

All the true good scifi is novels, not any visual medium

>>221029704
ghost in the shell is a big piece of nothing whose only value was the novelty of "they make cartoons in japan??" back in the 90s. pointless to watch it now.

>>221029884
>a big piece of nothing
That's Blade Runner.

>>221029965
blade runner is such "nothing" that all of japan has been ripping it off obsessively for decades, including gits. some "nothing."

>>221029842
right, that's what i'm talking about. you don't know "stories," only status. the moment the word "slop" entered the lexicon half of culture on earth became unavailable to you because liking it opens you up to having the magic word used against you. a very sad existence, very womanbrained.

I think that has to do more with 4 quadrant marketing and the lack of respect for adult oriented non comedic animation. There’s lots of great American science fiction, it’s just all in books.

Western stories are usually better because they get to the point and aren't a bloated TV show. Anime is like all of those Star Wars TV shows. Then when it comes to the two big anime sci-fi movies from Japan with Akira and Ghost in the Shell both aren't great movies.

Real hot take: I like optimistic futurism/retro-futurism raygun type sci-fi more than gritty cyberpunk

>>221027851
The Matrix is better than all 3 of those put together.

>>221029965
>When you create a film dealing with humans and cyborgs, you have no choice but to refer back to Ridley Scott's Blade Runner, as this movie is probably the foundation of movies with this theme.
- the guy who directed ghost in the shell

What’s that anime about people in a space station to as training to be part of something but there’s an extra person so they think someone is a spy. And one of the characters are from a planet where everyone has their gender reassigned.

>>221030307
You also have to concede that humor is all “this guy eats a lot and acts like a little kid”.
The funniest anime I ever saw was ongaku our sound. And that’s because the humor is extremely dry. Also the one scene in Hunter x Hunter where Gon is like “I know his attack patterns, I know the move he’s going to make before he does it” and then it cuts to black and Gon wakes up in the hospital.

>>221030413
I think that sort of thing is especially prevalent in shonen anime that goes on forever, which I avoid like the plague.
My favorite comedy anime are probably Mob Psycho and Konosuba. But I'll give some credit, even very gritty serious anime that I like tend to have a lot of solid comedic moments peppered in.

>>221029987
Blade Runner is literally a direct knockoff of the Russian novel Meчтaют ли aндpoиды oб элeктpooвцaх, by Soviet author Филип К. Дик. If anything the Japanese are just riffing off old USSR sci fi.

>>221029987
They're pretty different, lil bud.

>>221030071
I feel like sci-fi was never really optimistic in the way people think outside of like the Jetsons.
HG Wells' stories are all kind of dark. The whole dystopia subgenre came in almost immediately, with examples going back at least as far as the 20's. The pulp era was all about grizzled dudes fighting bad guys, or basically just taking the premise of sword and sorcery and including laser beams. You get to the 50's and 60's and now you have Philip K Dick writing about drugs, Asimov writing about robots creating class conflict and society returning to feudalism, Harry Harrison writing about over-population, Planet of the Apes etc.

>>221030510
yes, for example blade runner does not involve characters looking at the camera and going "THISU FIRMU VERY PHIROSOPHICARU" the way gits does because blade runner was made by white people capable of subtlety and not autistic gooks

>>221031039
what Blade Runner really needed was a 15 minute exposition scene at the very end where Roy Batty explains the plot of the film to Deckard and completely clears the air of all mystery

>>221030972
Star Trek is largely a meme too. If you actually watch it, half of the episodes are about monsters, space-Soviets, or some hellish anomaly the crew get trapped inside of.

>>221030607
>>221031106

>>221031219
please don't reply to any of my posts unless you've won a pivotal carrier battle

Optimistic sci-fi would be "technology is going to make our lives great". Star Trek is only ever half that. A lot of episodes follow the basic formula of "you traveled into deep space, and you opened a pandora's box", or "you encountered something beyond your level of technological progress, and it almost killed you".

>>221031272
99.9% of humans in star trek live in a post-scarcity technological utopia.
none of the episodes are about daily life in the Federation because then there wouldn't be a fucking show

>>221031213
at this point, pretty much. Anime was creative between the 60's and 2000.
Now it's all prepackaged ideas, that come off a production line.

I think Star Trek's "optimism" is over-stated. I think Gene liked to blow his own trumpet, and pretend his pulpy sci-fi show was something of a loftier caliber than Flash Gordon, which ultimately it kind of wasn't.
>oh but there was a black woman
Sure. There was a whole majority black episode of the Twilight Zone. Things were kind of going in that direction.

Is there a good Gundam watch order? Is everything canon? There's so fucking much of it by so many different teams that I doubt all of it is worthwhile.

>>221032257
if we're measuring success by what people have "heard of" then obviously more people on the planet know about star wars or marvel than sukuru kokuru battle schoolgirl gumdum, so americans win again.

notice how you have to keep switching copes? first it's "the japs are more ORIGINAL," then it turns out they steal everything from americans so it becomes "but they're more POPULAR," except they aren't more popular, either. they lose by all metrics. you know you're allowed to watch your gook cartoons even if they're not actually good or important, right? all of this cope is unnecessary. go watch the schoolgirl turn into a robot and be happy.

yes, i explained this already, westerners love "japanese" culture because it's all just ripoffs of western things that are at once very familiar and yet strange because of errors in the copying process. "high-school drama but weird" "star wars but weird" "blade runner but weird" and so on. none of you weebs are going to read the tale of genji or whatever, you're just going to watch hideo kojima do slightly-off pastiches of hollywood. the relationship is clear: the japanese act as court jesters for their american conquerors.

>>221032723
no, but really, why do you have to cope? why can't you just watch your gook cartoons even if they aren't the most popular thing in the world, or the most original? it's like you're more invested in convincing yourself that they're good than in watching them.

How can the mecha genre come from Super Sentai when mecha manga was being published a decade prior? You're retarded.

Actual mecha timeline:

1. Talos (ancient greek myth)
2. Astro Boy (1952)
3. Tetsujin 28 (1956)
4. Starship Troopers (1959)
5. Cyborg 009 (1964)
6. Kikaider (1972)
7. Mazinger Z (1972)

All of those are before Super Sentai. Why do "anime fans" on this board not know what they're talking about?

It keeps blowing my mind that Gundam is as big as it is. All they have is one good design and a good brand name.

Tomino Gundam and G Gundam are good though, it's just the modern sequels that are complete corposlop

Steins;Gate has no creativity. It's a ripoff of older better western time travel fiction with a bonus retarded main character added on top.

Hollywood is creatively bankrupt, we know.

Generally speaking, "some ordinary person gets pulled into an unknown world full of adventure" is a fun trope. That's what isekai is, basically.
However, I absolutely hate the "reborn as..." shit. It's stupid and it's lazy. The only thing worse than that is the whole "I was transported into the world of a videogame" nonsense.

Hilarious and original

Steins Gate is one of the worst things.

You made it too obvious when you said this, you had me going for a second there.

Gundam is less 'war is hell' and more 'war is human'. The anti-war message got stronger in the later installments but even they made a point of saying 'even though war is terrible and most people know it, people still wage war for a lot of reasons'.

He's right about steins;gate being rancidly bad though.

>It's a cute girls doing cute things slice of life.
Shows you didn't watch the whole thing.
It's one of the best examples of Chekov's Gun in action I've ever seen. Most of those slice of life scenes seem like irrelevant moefag masturbation material at first, but by the end of it they've pretty much all become important to the time travel plot. Even to someone like me who despises slice of life and moeshit, that made them acceptable because it brought purpose to them and made them a part of the narrative arc, rather than just being tacked on to pander to basement-dwelling losers.

Steins;Gate's foreshadowing is some of the most unsubtle shit I've ever seen. It was so obvious how the story was going to end right from the first episode and not in a good way like a tragedy would do sometimes.

Japs are good at coming up with creative ideas but hardly ever execute them well
