What is the greatest epic of anime?
>>279604311 (OP)Unironically Pokemon. It took this dude 25 years and several dips into the lazarus pit to finally become world champ.
>>279604311 (OP)You posted it, ged was the anime epic.
>>279606104>>279606088SAO passed the test of time, digibrony didn't.
>>279604311 (OP)Is there actually another political drama animanga on this scale (obviously not galactic but like all the different politicians commanders and shit) outside of his other works?
Rose of Versailles is one of the only anime that has all the qualities of a classic literary epic:
>story with a massive scope with scores of characters whom the story each follows intimately over a lengthy period of time
>unapologetically melodramatic by design
>explores several lofty concepts like love, honour, spirituality, liberty. existentialism and so on
>big focus on war, politics and the fate of nations
>fully embraces Romanticism and makes each characterโs personal problems seem larger than life and tied with grand political stakes
>timeless sociopolitical commentary
>has broad appeal due to dipping its toes in multiple genres
If you told me this was an adaptation of an epic European novel rather than a manga, Iโd believe you. Iโd say that only LOGH and maybe Berserk come close in this respect.
I need to watch Record of Lodoss War but it seems pretty awesome.

>>279604311 (OP)The only real answer is Mushoku Tensei desu
>>279604311 (OP)One piece is like the odyssey of animanga
>>279604311 (OP)LOGH is the greatest filter of them all.
