>>221379953
Its wildly different from most anime. Aside from johan's prodigious intelliect and the detective's eidetic memory system, it is very grounded in reality.

ITT overrated shit

i remember watching this when i was 19 in 2012 and thought it was kino. way better than most anime out there and i've seen too many.
maybe i should rewatch it.

Boring slog. Tons of filler episodes where they meet some rando who learns who he is later and goes “wow he didn’t seem so bad, they must be wrong” or they learn who he is and say some shit like “hm I can tell by the look in your eyes that you’re a good person.” Unbelievably dragged out with corny dialog. I really wanted to like it but couldn’t stand it. Maybe I’ll give it another chance in 10 years because it supposedly rewards rewatches.

>>221379850
Pretty mid stuff. Only thing you wonder about is how the MONSTER is able to do what he does. And it turns out, he just does it. It's not stated to be literally magic, but it practically is.

Anyone saying it's grounded didn't get it

>>221379850
Overrated desu, it's too slow and not particularly interesting.

Master Keaton is better
20th Century Boys would have been even better if was animated but oh well the live-actions are acceptable enough for how japanese live-action movies are.

>>221380046
Gravitas and charisma.

It's kind of boring. Most people seem to praise it for its realism (at least, in contrast to anime broadly) but I tend to think that anime really wasn't the best medium for it. It is certainly unique in that aspect, I don't think we'll ever see another 50+ episode slow burn drama anime ever again.

>>221380064
Yeah but you never get to see that in practice. In other works like Kaiji, Liar Game, Death Note, One Outs, Code Geass, etc we can catch glimpses of the characters' high intellect because we're shown the full mechanisms behind the schemes that they carry out. In Monster, we see several outcomes of Johan's schemes, but we're not shown how he did any of it, or why only he could do it. Instead, we just get told fifty different times that he's super fucking smart.

>>221379850

Too many preferences. Mezzo forte and kite are action packed but with hentai scenes. Escaflowne is cool fantasy epic with some unique mechs but does a touch of girlie tropes.

A good series that could easily have cut half the episodes out without losing anything.
It's good but has WAY too much filler. Way way too much.

I feel like the common intent and sentiment is "how he does it isn't the point" and "well that's what makes him a Monster!" but I largely agree, Johan is the least impressive part of the whole thing and he's honestly kind of a drag to watch.

Same goes for Tenma, who is horrifically dull. The real meat of the story I think is in the supporting cast and the whole thing is interesting insight into what an naive outsider thinks German people are like for better or worse.

>>221380765
the character is heavily based on tom ripley, except monster is exclusively from the perspective of someone trying to catch him. Tom ripley isn’t some super genius, he’s just a sociopath who won’t fall for anything in the very small bag of tricks cops have that will catch 99.9% of criminals. Being a sociopath, he’ll take risks no one else would consider and pull them off mostly because he doesn’t get nervous. But then he’ll move on to another area in a timely fashion and leave behind such a clusterfuck that no one can spend the time to make heads or tails of it. Those who see the aftermath will think he’s some sort of mad genius when he really just doesn’t panic.

I hate curve autists like you so much.

I would trust someone more that rates everything either 1 or 10 than this middle of the road nonsense. The refusal to assign a 10/10 rating isn't discernment. It's a failure of nerve. A kind of critical neutrality that presents itself as reasonable but is actually a refusal to commit. A 10/10 rating isn't a statement about the technicalities of a movie/show. It's a statement about the relationship between the viewer and a movie. You don't give a 10/10 rating because a movie/show has no flaws. You give a 10/10 rating because it moved you so deeply that the flaws don't matter. The "no such thing as a perfect movie/show" argument is posturing not wisdom. It's a way of standing above the things you watch, never committing, never risking, never admitting that something got past your defenses. The detached critic is safe. The detached critic is also never moved.

None of Urasawa's work makes a lick of proper sense until you've read Billy Bat.

It's crap.
There's about 25 eps worth of content but it's stretched out to 75 episodes.
They do this by having characters do dumb shit over and over and over.

They also do this really weird way of exposition - where they will have characters talking to themselves out loud constantly. It's like the creators don't know how human beings behave at all.
Like, people will be talking to themselves even when there's someone else in the room with them at the same time. It's just baffling.


It's an anime that thinks it's intelligent but the way it handles exposition reveals that they think the audience is full of 10 year olds.
It has a really interesting premise but the way it's handled and the way the characters behave, completely ruins it.

I think this is a leftover from the manga.
Where in the manga you kinda have to do that to get information across to the reader.
But when you adapt it to a TV show you're meant to take that stuff out and get that information across to the viewer by using different techniques, because it doesn't work in a TV show at all. It just come across as batshit insane.

>>221385796

No. It's full of weird shit you only find in anime.
Stuff that anime fans just go along with and accept as part of the medium even though deep down they know it's stupid and it wouldn't fly in any other medium like live action.

So if anime annoys you in general, you will absolutely hate it.

>>221385796

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYdCd00TJhI
However, I regret watching this show
Something is wrong with the pacing, I don't find the relationships engaging, I don't find Johan and Nina interesting and maybe it's because they feel one-note. Johan is not a person he's just a concept, poor characterisation.
Lunge is interesting because you really engage with his character, see his brilliance in work, the irony in him being so wrong, the drama with his family, the comedy in his mannerisms, his character arc into admitting he was wrong.

not that good. it starts off okay but the pacing is slow, and not because their aren't enough explosions but rather the necessary information is drip fed. Also the show is supposedly about good and evil but it trips at multiple instances. Johann is clearly a result of nurture, the show tries to make it ambiguous at first but the level of depersonalisation and trauma he went through makes it undoubtably a result of others actions to him. it's a big proponent of the blank slate theory. Then the show tries to combat a nihilistic/pessimistic and moral relativist view of the world with more moral relativism. I wasn't expecting tenma to come to christ or anything but his argumentation is really lacklustre. Their answer to the crimes of johann and the doctors is
>"no! bad things are bad"
>"i don't care. morals are made up."
>"no! you have to care"
Then the show tries to make the head scientist kind of sympathetic with the excuse of "well he was doing it for good reasons", there's no bad actors only misguided people.
the show has interesting subject matter but pulls its punches at every opportunity.

if you want something that actually has a moral core watch fist of the north star

I remember seeing pic related possibly more than a decade ago. Watched every anime here and one of the ones that disappointed me was Monster. Maybe it was the description of it that hyped me up and when I finally saw the anime it ended up disappointing me heavily. "Often cited that it wouldn't seem out of place as a primetime live action drama on Western network TV". Sure, if they meant as a South American telenovela. It's soap opera tier. I'm sure the manga is much better but the anime is so lackluster. Characters constantly talking to themselves, hitting you over the head with the themes and character motivations to make sure you don't miss them, plotlines and actions that just end up being so cartoonish. A main antagonist that I half expected to have an audience track anytime he showed up on screen shouting "Boo!" I didn't last 20 or so episodes before I had to stop. It was insulting to my time. I think the hype around it was just from pre-great shift anime faggots needing an anime to cling to that they could say "See! Anime isn't all little girls and big robots!" But Death Note wasn't popular/had come out yet.

Monster is the most badly written nonsense trash in tranime. Johan acts like an all powerful magician but the writer is trying to present him as just a normal guy who has a lot of charisma.
The entire tranime is about a guy with god-like powers basically time traveling and teleporting putting in schemes 200 years ahead of schedule for the sole purpose of mildly annoying and scaring a random doctor for no reason. That's the entire story of Monster.

Never actually watched any of them. Not because i don't want, but because i simply have so many tv-series to watch or continue watching, lacking the time to actually start with new ones.

Terrible. Tries to be edgy, but ends up being corny. I’m thinking of the scene when an orphan tries to kill himself because he sees a prostitute having sex. He didn’t even get molested. Merely seeing sex traumatized him to the point of wanting to jump off a bridge. So corny.

>I’m thinking of the scene when an orphan tries to kill himself because he sees a prostitute having sex.
He tries to kill himself because a man sets him up to believe his whore mother he never met totally loves him and he's totally gonna find her on a street corner but is hit with realization the man lied, it's nothing but whores that don't care about him, his mother never cared about him and he's alone in the world.

And then you're done with anime. Read books right after.

>>221393599
trigun is one of the worst animes I've seen

>>221385796
>Watanabe has made at least 3 shows better than bebop.
I think you're confusing him with Satoshi Kon (and even then you're still wrong).

Grimmer and Lunge are awesome but I think it's overrated.

>>221380897
Batman

>>221379850
have been watching it lately, i like it so far

>>221393733
he didn't ask for a description of your anus

>>221386450
It's fine but too on the nose

>>221394241
on the nose about what? the main reason its praised is because it avoids basically every shonen trope.

>>221393733
Chiaki's best work. Do not @ me. Lain sucks ass.

>>221394273
huh. no wonder it sucked. definitely felt like someone who'd never made an action series before and doesn't even like action series trying to make an action series. basically him going "okay you didn't like my masterwork? fuck you here's what you want"

>>221393625
Sorry for your impairment.

>>221379953
LoGH ruined anime for me. It’s just way too good.

>>221394511
>:O im a derpy retard lol lol lol :P :P :P
>but actually im a super serious mega badass
worst trope in all of media

>>221394705
its harder to avoid getting injured and avoid killing others than it is to just shoot people in the face

>>221379850
total schlock

>>221394271
im guessing he meant "abortion bad"

>>221394705
Again, sorry for your impairment.

>>221380897
Not realizing anime is full of good shit is soulless

>>221388768
Texnolyze is great

>>221384615
too bad it looks like shit compared to the manga

>>221385796
Your taste isnt better because you think youre too smart for shonen, really you just lack appreciation for fun adventure and soul

>>221388224
Chapter Black is good but not remotely better than Dark Tournament, absolutely the better action in DT makes it better, that and the aesthetic, characters, fact that the climax isnt a huge letdown

>>221394741
easier? it's easier to avoid conflict by just letting everyone know they can't beat you than by fooling them into attacking you and then "avoid injuring" them. all he does is make shit harder for himself, he's definitely not going for the easy route

>>221395049
fag

>>221380980
man everything is too flashy and flat today. Japs forgot how to animate

>>221389734
Kek thats a real bit from the show?

>>221395244
they started hiring western animators

>>221395387
i figured it was all the SEAmonkies and gooks

>>221395215
I said harder, anon. Harder. Apparantly the idea of doing something that is more difficult, on purpose, because it is difficult or because the "easy" option is something you avoid on strict principle, is completely foreign to your mudperson brain.

would've it been possible to properly adapt Trigun the time it was made? (until there was no more material ofc) The 90s anime is like 90% filler from what i read

>>221385796
Yeah I couldn’t stand this. Between that, the constant filled eps of Tenma meeting some randoms who eventually learn who he is, and insane capeshit capabilities of Johan and his ugly bastard hit man Roberto I couldn’t stand it

Literally the first rec and I'm already done with the pic
It's 99 or manga for me, that soulless digital thrash is for subhumans

>>221379850
Like 3 hours of kino, and 90 hours of filler

>>221395371
Basically. Never flat out stated but when you think about any of it, Johan has to have magic powers.
People just randomly run into the doctor and they just happen to be mindbroken slaves Johan put there. The doctor does go in random houses and just happens to find messages hidden by Johan, like behind paintings as if Johan put it there 10+ years ahead of time.
All of it is insane. Johan perfectly manipulates a girl into shooting him in the head as a little kid which puts him in a coma, and then while in coma, a literal fucking coma after brain surgery, Johan somehow smuggles poison into the hospital and poisons all the enemies of the doctor who saved his life.
It's fucking insane.

>>221393733
the ending is "I give up" tier but otherwise Big O is kino.

>>221396642
I agree but 1999 is so devoid of life compared to 2011. The music aside from the OP/ED is so goddamn generic. The scenes are often times so muted with barely any feeling or just incredibly dark. There is just this tone that really didn't fit HxH in my opinion, even if the animation quality and designs are way better. It felt like its maturity also brought a lot of boring shit to it as well. Hell, contrasting the Troupe's requiem between both versions you can see exactly what I mean. 1999 just doesn't have spectacle to it, it is incredibly subdued. Where as 2011 lacks maturity in a lot of points, 1999 lacks fun and spectacle in a lot as well. It just feels like a lot of adventure animes of the 90s.

>>221395672
>Almost exlusively modern garbage
The only good recs on that page are:
Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust (ignoring the OG is a sin though)
FMA
Death Note
Mononoke
Planetes
Ping Pong
Tokyo Godfathers

Some important omissions for a normie-core anime list:
Rurouni Kenshin
Ranma 1/2
Dragon Ball (I'm accepting that this is so obvious that it shouldn't be included on a rec list)
Yu Yu Hakusho (better than HxH in every way. Ending is rough but at least it has one)
Cowboy Bebop
Gurren Lagann
Detective Conan

For good anime that is less normie-core
Legend of the Galactic Heroes
Kaiji (and then Akagi if you like Mahjong)
Stand Alone Complex
Monster
Lupin III (first two series)


Introducing films means that the tranny who made this list has consciously excluded all of the other Ghibli stuff (Spirited Away, Howl, Kiki's Delivery Service and Porco should all be included at the minimum); GITS; Akira; Vampire Hunter D; and Shinkai's stuff (Your Name and 5cm/s are his best but I liked Suzume a lot too)

>>221396964
big O was Konaka literally giving the fuck up after lain flopped.

>>221396642
lol they turned him into michael jackson

>>221380765
So you think it could work as live-action?

>>221386721
There's no need unfortunately.
The garbage they make is successful so there's no need for them to try harder or be better.

>>221389734
It fills me with hope for humanity that at least someone else sees how ridiculous and stupid this show is.

>>221390205
Spirited Away quite literally ruined anime.

>>221390422
>anon asks for non faggy anime
>you recommend generic tournament shounen
Bravo

>>221393599
>Cowboy Bebop
You need to watch more anime.

>>221393733
Children's Monster of the week cartoon.
Whoever made that should be in prison for ripping off batman.

>>221394527
Noticing that the makers of LoGH didn't realise that space is 3 dimensional ruined LoGH for me.

>>221380051
i tried watching it a few months ago. i found the pacing absolutely mind numbing and stopped watching at some point

>>221397998
You really don't. The ones he listed are the ones that don't require familiarity with anime to appreciate. Every other "great" anime is "great" because of how far removed it is from another anime. For instance, the backbone of evangelion is calling out the bullshit of every other anime for acting like adolescents would be perfectly fine under "save the world" pressure.

An abbreviated version with a better ending would be a masterpiece

>>221395677
The 90s anime is better than the original manga and it has no filler at all. Some retard lied to you. In fact, it was the manga that went so overboard that the entirety of Maximum felt like a bizarre fever dream. And Maximum's ending sucks.
