The absolute state of western entertainment.
No, this was obviously going to be garbage. If you want to try exposing yourself to some better western television consider:

  • Mr. Robot (season 1)
  • Chernobyl
  • The Wire (seasons 1 - 3)
  • BoJack Horseman
  • John Adams
  • The Chappelle Show
  • True Detective (season 1)
  • The Sopranos
  • Breaking Bad (first few seasons)
  • Westworld
  • Game of Thrones (first few seasons)
Enough cross-section of styles there to suit most tastes, whether american revolutionary period to modern day to futuristic. I almost recommended The Expanse for more sci-fi, but it's kinda trashy. I like it, but I have a weakness for certain types of trash (like these forums).

How many reboots and movies have they made trying to fix NGE now? Probably the most overrated anime ever.

There's nothing that needs fixing. The tension is meant to build up slowly. The mythology and worldbuilding don't need to make sense.

The new movies would be a lot better if the protagonists spent more time having violent arguments, much like the original. So much lost potential.

Mr. Robot (season 1)

Bad fight club ripoff with some SJW shit in it like a female muslim hacker. First season was ok until the big reveal, which was shit. Still far more woke than any anime
BoJack Horseman
Starts off fantastic, but goes full SJW in the last season. Also the writers purposefully gave it an ending that the fans didn't want to "teach them a lesson".
Game of Thrones (first few seasons)

Couldn't get past the first episode or two. Some of the most degenerate trash I've ever seen in my life.

Hey, if you don't feel the need to shit on 8 out of 11 of my suggestions, that's not so bad!
That's because I haven't seen them. I haven't watched 3DPD in years. I could have shit on the Chappelle show but I figured it was pointless since most Codexers probably already know that he's an insane degenerate who hates white people.

You watched those? Oof. Completely ruined it for you. It's an episodic show. It's not meant to be one big lore dump.

Before I watched those, I managed to catch a single episode on adult swim where they spent nearly the entire running time on exposition and a few seconds of action at the end. I would have found it intolerable to go through more of that (I know they had done-in-one episodes hence the name, but meh).

It is exposition heavy, yes, but it's well-written and has action in almost every episode. And before you say it isn't well-written, I will remind you that you liked PoE and therefore your taste is invalid. :M

Some episodes are more about a concept than the main plot btw. So dumping the entire main plot back to back in a 2 hour movie is kind of ruining the experience. If you watch it in episode form, it's a slow paced introduction to all of the concepts in the main story. By the time you see the full picture, the concepts have been built up and explained sufficiently, as has the overall setting and each of the characters.

What you're doing now is like watching the first 15 minutes of, say, the original Star Wars trilogy, then giving up and watching an abridged version that condenses everything into 30 minutes and then complaining about it. It wouldn't work well with other episodic shows like the X-Files, and it doesn't work here either.

Thanks for answering, most anime i've been exposed to is disgusting, as are anime avatar'd posters. But i'm open minded enough to recognize you can't generalize entirely about an art form. Plus, Akira was good.
Check out master keaton,it is one of the best animes for grown men.

I wasn't all that thrilled with Solid State Society either and that was intended from the start as a movie.

I did like Arise, but then they ended with an exposition-heavy movie despite avoiding that for the entire series. :negative:

I think I saw it, but it's pretty forgetable, yeah. I've never been a big fan of the movies, simply because I find the episodic format more suited to the material.

I did like Arise
I remember not liking Arise, but it's been a while.

In my book: SAC series > original movies > everything else. Though I would probably put the first movie above everything if I hadn't already been introduced to its concepts via other sci fi shows years before.

Watch SEL and NGE. Skip everything else. The original NGE as 1-24, then EoE.

Let's all love Lain!
Why skip TV ending? I'm not one of those retards who thinks EoE is shit because it has an actual plot (wtf), but there's no reason to skip 40 minutes that are still worth seeing.

you're a fucking retard who only likes normie shounen shit:
https://myanimelist.net/animelist/GhostCow?status=7&order=4&order2=0

evangelion, lain, akira, grave of the fireflies, etc: 4/10 pieces of shit, even placed below 5/10 naruto

cowboy beebop at 5/10 also

at 6/10 we have FMA...

7/10? bleach.

8/10? my retard academia

9/10, steins;gate? whoa there buddy, that one's a bit too overratedly smart for you, don't you think.

10/10... lucky star. now i love lucky star but that's not 10/10 by any metric.

It's like reading a top 100 things of all time list. Random shit placed randomly. Only difference is you feel the need to put all the old critically acclaimed stuff at the bottom instead of the top.

plus, shitting on me for liking Night on the Galactic Railroad because lolfurries while you watched Odd Taxi, BNA, and even Dragon's House Hunting?! I guess new anime > all in your dumb brain.

Watch it afterward to get more insight. Don't treat it as the ending.

10/10... lucky star. now i love lucky star but that's not 10/10 by any metric.

Good anime is that which has objective artistic value even to non-weebs. You have to be a major weeb to watch an anime about 4 middle school girls with bright bleached hair. Classic weeb bait-and-switch. Watch some of the very few good series, get hooked and suddenly find women with fox tails appealing.

Nuke it from orbit.

No no no, that's not things are done. Release order only, baby! Plus, ending on the actual ending with nothing more extra is the best way to end.

Otaku loves a slice of life about otaku shit. Why would anyone be surprised by this? It was the first slice of life I ever saw that I didn't think was shit. I give most otaku bait high ratings and I'm not a bit ashamed of that. What people should be ashamed of is getting butthurt about someone giving something they liked a low score on a website meant for cataloging everything you've seen and rating it based on your own personal taste.

It's not about what you watch, but what you rate it. I watch mons, but they only stay in the 6-8 zone. If I made my list the way you made yours it'd be 10/10 all Digimon, and then 5/10 to Odd Taxi for being a show for people who want to pretend they're adults while watching cartoon animals. And 4/10 to Death Note for having a shit ending. And 1/10 to Digimon Adventure Tri for actually being shit 4reelz. But the thing is, I'm not a subjectifag, I am objectifag with a furry bias. My ratings are fair and just.

"nibba i see ur list and u love normietrash. stfu lmao!!" "um duh of course i love digimon, i'm a furfag, i 11/10 all yiffbait no shame at alls!! yiff yiff!!" < me if i were you. keep coping cooper.

I rate things based on how much I enjoy them and then take off points for major flaws. If I gave an anime a 10 that means I enjoyed it as much as I can enjoy an anime and didn't have any major complaints about it. I'm not some stuck up dumbass who thinks they're a professional critic and can only give 10s to genre defining masterpieces. Far too many people think their opinion on subjective art is somehow high value. Sorry bro, we don't like the same shows. I'm not butthurt about it and you shouldn't be either. It's a weird thing to be butthurt about.

I don't get it, why are you guise so butthurt about RPGs? Art is subjective, bro, just play and have fun, why you have to be mad? I thought Pillars of Eternity was a great game.
I don't get it, why are you guise so butthurt about trannies? Gender is subjective, bro, just live and let live, why you have to be mad? One of my best friends is a tranny.
I don't get it, why are you guise so butthurt about degeneracy? Sexuality is subjective, bro, just fuck and have fun, why you have to be mad? Anonymous buttsecks doesn't hurt anybody.
I don't get it, why are you guise so butthurt about liberals? There's no agenda, bro, just avoid politics, why you have to be mad? Lols you deranged MAGA cultists.
:npc:

It's not about the things for which one is serious, but that one is serious about being serious at all. Those who judge entertainment through the ‘it's all relative bro, don't judge me or my waifu ever again’ mindset do so because they're fundamentally retarded. Always has been. No standards, just random tastes that don't mean anything because nothing means anything.
