>anime can’t be ki-
>>222982907Monster is the kind of boring shit for people too insecure to enjoy real anime.
>>222982907naoki urasawa is too kino for /tv/
>>222982952Doesn't he perfectly fit the average /tv/ midwit's aesthetics pseudery?
>100 episodes of filler and "you can't just le kill le mass murderer psychopath or you will le be just le like him"It's slop for midwits to clap and pretend they're smart for watching 'mature' anime.
>>222982994You tell me.
>>222982907I tried watching this back when I was 12 and I couldn’t make it past episode 4I watched death note and enjoyed that. I should give this a watch again
>>222983011>death noteAlso shit.
>>222982994Pretty much. Monster is the Breaking Bad of anime.
>>222983010Certainly does.
>>222983024It made 12 year old me feel 4deep3youI still enjoy it now, years laterEpisode 2 is when light fucked up imo
>>222982907It has the problem of midwit writers not being able to portray a genius character. It felt kinda small-minded. There's an arc early on about Johan winning the confidence of a super rich dude and his plan is just to burn down a library with a bunch of people in it? Tenma and Nina were pretty likeable but I never felt like Johan was a threat to them. If anything he seemed to want to be friends but wasn't sure how to go about it other than isolating them by framing Tenma and killing Nina's adoptive parents. I found Grimmer kinda annoying. Peak 2000's era "look at this quirky dude who is secretly the best when it comes down to brass tacks!"
>>222982907>And slowly you come to realize>It's all it should be>You can only do so much
>>222983066Code Geass > Death Note
>>222983088I haven’t watched that Last animoo I watched was Vinland sagaI liked season 1 way more than season 2; which is apparently a very controversial opinion regarding that series I’ll look into code geass
>Monster>GitS: SaC>Psycho Pass S1KINOOOOOOOOOOO
I like Ninja Scroll.and Last Exile.And Gungrave but only the first part where Brandon and Harry are moving up in the criminal underworld.Oh and Makoto Shinkai films.
>>222983109>I’ll look into code geassYou should. Stick to the original series (two seasons), though. The spin-offs are all trash, and the movie, while itself alright, builds on a retconned narrative. So as not to complicate it: Just watch Lelouch of the Rebellion R1 and Lelouch of the Rebellion R2.
>People are still super into 90's animu like Sailor Moon and Cowboy Bebop>2000's animu is totally forgotten, even shows that obsessed nerds at the time like Wolf's Rain and Witch Hunter Robin
>>222982907It's good, but could have cut 2/3 of the episodes and not lose a single important thing. It ran way too long.
>>222982907>protagonist makes a slow, shocked face at least 3 times per episodeNever read the mango but I guarantee it's better than the cartoon.
>>222983109>Last animoo I watched was Vinland saga>I liked season 1 way more than season 2; which is apparently a very controversial opinionMaybe according to some very weird Discord people that I've never interacted with? Who in their right mind thinks Vinland Saga gets better later on? It peaks early and then turns into "muh pacifism".
>>222983187Will do>>222983300I mentioned it here and on /pol/ and got loads of rabid hate for that opinion I was surprised
>>222983373>and on /pol/Stay away from that retarded shithole.
>>222983422This whole site is retarded imoI’m just here for the 2% of anons who are actually decent
>>222983300In the anime's case it's also another example of MAPPA replacing Wit.
>>222982907Watched the first 4 episodes and they were predictable and lame. Anime just really sucks doesnt it
>>222983686Anime website. Leave. Now.
>>222983686>Anime just really sucks doesnt itNo. If you're at least moderately intelligent and not a heartless piece of shit, then there's lots to enjoy.
>>222983686I don’t get why all these anime nerds don’t just read the manga rather than wasting their time watching an adaptation
>>222983731I don't post on television and film board because I like reading nerd.
>>222982907Boring shit
>>222983731I don't get why anyone engages with visual media at all. Just read text, bro.
>>222982907tenma and johan and nina are the worst part of this shit, all three fuckin suck. kino supporting cast though
>>222983766If the source material and therefore original authorial vision is text, then yeah, unless the adaptation in some way improves on it
>>222983841It regularly does. Having color is pretty neat, ya know? Animation? Music? Voiced dialogue? Woah!
>>222983901And that's only manga to anime. Now consider the leaps from straight text.
>>222983070Yeah, Johan is clearly a type that values feeling over logic. If he was mentally sound, he'd probably be writing great lit or composing. The stereotypical TV smart guy would just be in lab or something spouting equations. But I remember the character being in the background a lot early on, so things were more implied than anything else. The teamwork with the hitman was a funny contrast.
I like that my favorites are always gatekept -_-safe. sound. secure. sentinel. sarcasm. soliloquy. slander. source. simulate. salon. sample. splendiferous.
Got bored with manga somewhere at the end of vol 6It fucking goes on forever
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hu_wAuTDUYgfuck you I loved it
>>222982907it drags on for too long tho7.8/10
>>222982907I wish it was more stylistic. it took cues from Giallo for the plot lmao.
>>222982907Go back to /a/
>>222984573That seems to be a thing with this mangaka. The only reason I didn't finish Billy Bat is life happened and I don't really feel like picking it back up right now (in perpetuity).
>>222982907no.This shit is for pseuds.
