All of these are good except Ergo Proxy.

And of course for Umineko you have to read the VN, all other iterations are trash.

>inb4 "nooo the manga is good"
Manga is trash, it feeds you answers on a silver platter.

Haibane Ranme ends with the viewer feeling like the Haibane.
It ends so beautifully but at the same time you're sad because it ended.

>Angel's Egg.
Vapid, meaningless slop from an incompetent fraud director. A litmus test for media-illiterate pseuds.
>Gits
Good sci-fi manga that a fraud director has tried, but failed to turn into pretentious slop.
>Patlabor
Haven't seen it, but it's the same fraud, so probably like Gits.

>Lain and Haibane.
Decent, but literally pretentious, as in, pretending to be more than it is.

>Ergo Proxy.
When 90 IQ writers try to be pretentious. Comically low-quality.

>Monster.
Baby's first psychological drama, 14-year-old target audience. Inferior to Death Note.

>Texhnolyze
Baby's first Tarkovsky rip-off, 18-year-old target audience. Also a litmus test for media-illiterate pseuds.

>Umineko
It's a fucking saturday morning cartoon, very fun at that, takes a very special kind of retard to interpret it as a pseud-core show.

You can print this post out and magnet it to your fridge, it's the most intelligent evaluation of these shows you'll ever see in your life (whether you're able to appreciate it or not).

>>280084072
that's innocence not patlabor

First time I see someone compare Monster to Death Note, but I agree that it's an inferior product.
People, specifically westoids, only put Monster on a pedestal because muh adult MC.

>>280083511 (OP)
Haibane, Lain & Texhnolyze on 3x3 are valid. Haibane isn't supposed to be "decoded" and Lain is literally written to be understood by teenagers (but nu-/a/ is filled with illiterate mongoloids). The original GITS movie is perfectly fine and valid.

The rest is overrated pseud-wannabe slop.

/thread, don't bother arguing with me kids

>>280091679
how is monster even pseud

I don't get what the fuck Texh has to do with the thread premise, the narrative in Texh is exceedingly simple.

>>280091715
I said pseud-wannabe. If Monster was live action, nobody would even pretend it's good. It's got Alarm für Cobra 11 - Die Autobahnpolizei tier writing & character depth.

>>280091679

All shit. Monster starts of great but drags like a motherfucker to the point I dropped it about 50-60 episodes in.

>>280091875
you're filtered by nostradamus

>>280091863
maybe for the first two eps, but the characters in that talk about what's happening all the time.
The only way you """"wouldn't get"""" Texh is if you literally weren't listening to or reading the dialogue or werent looking at what's happening on screen

>>280091931
There's no cute girls too

>>280083511 (OP)
Umineko shouldn't be in this picture. It's fucking ~140 hours long. If you finished it while hating it AND didn't get it, this makes you a very special kind of retard. In a league of its own. You should check up on that puddle of saliva under your desk, which accumulated there due after the constant mouth-breathing.

>>280092024
Only the last episode is bad though?
>inb4 japan didn't get it and westerntroons have better taste

>>280092101
I didn't say anything about any of the episodes being bad though? Did you even read my post or are you a bot that responds to the "Umineko" keyword?
>the last episode is bad
it's in line with the narrative of the rest of the game. If you didn't like it, that means you didn't "get" what you were reading for the first 7 eps. Which, I guess, is not a problem, if you at least were enjoying your time.

>>280092281

>another retard with no reading comprehension
And there's nothing "pseud" about Lain or Texhnolyze. Just because you're illiterate and would get straight Fs during high school literature classes back in my day, doesn't mean that their stories are "pseud". Konaka literally said he wrote Lain for 10-15 year olds.

>>280092500
>Konaka literally said he wrote Lain for 10-15 year olds.
that must not be true

>>280091969
Doc and Ran are plenty cute

>>280092500
Kill yourself retard. They're all good shows but if any one's pretentious it's those two. I don't know how Monster is "pseud-wannabe" when it's as straight forward as it gets

>>280092500
Maybe that's why I disliked Lain, as I watched it as an adult. I don't think the story had any elements I enjoyed, even the slut sister pissed me off. The scene in the opening where she's eating out the face of some random dude was disgusting as fuck

>>280083511 (OP)
whats there to not get about the gits films? theyre pretty straight forward

>>280092662
The appeal of Lain is the vibes, not the story. But a lot of it is also genuinely carried by its iconic opening and I don't think it'd be as popular without it

Also how the fuck are we 68 replies in and there's no images here?

>>280093038
Well I guess I hated the vibes then.

>>280093038

>>280093038
>The appeal of Lain is the vibes, not the story.
no, it's just a bad anime.
lain game that came out right after shows that there actually was an actual story to tell with actual characters and that anime is simply a badly executed attempt. the plot (if there was any in the anime) is a bit different in the game (more like a drama cd really), as it is a different iteration, not a retelling. highly recommend. it can be played in the browser port.

>>280090406
They don't want to start some revolution.
They enjoy their lives as Haibane, the town exists for them to live comfortably.
The priest-like figure is incredibly helpful to Haibane who are experiencing grief and sorrow and is only there to serve them and the town.
The only hardship they endure revolves around the fact that they must all take flight and leave the town eventually.

>>280093803
Yeah that sounds incredibly dull, frustrating and uninteresting. Where are the emotional highs? Where's the payoff, the prize, the triumph? Glad I dropped it when I did.

>>280094031
this is not a battle shounen

>>280094134
>standard elements of a good story are exclusive to battle shounen
the bar is so low

>>280094031
Rakka sinks into depression from being unable to cope with her grief after Kuu takes flight and essentially "dies".
The show then deals with her spiraling downwards until she's able to overcome her grief.
The show then deals with Reki's suffering in silence as she is unable to remember her coccoon dream and is doomed to never take flight herself and how Rakka and the other Haibane can help her.

>>280094233
I appreciate it but there's no need for you to convince me, I've already dropped the show and don't need more reasons to shitlist it.

>>280083511 (OP)

>>280095544
I suppose it was. I got many new shows to avoid, and that's a good thing. I hate it when I accidentally start watching some depressive garbage by accident, it always ruins my day.

You're not intelligent for hating Ergo Proxy, you just have dogshit taste.

>>280083511 (OP)
I'll never forget my experience with Texhnolyze. I went in only recognizing Yoshii from seeing him posted here over the years and I created this massive expectation for myself that his character arc is going to lead to some incredible payoff. Then for like 11-12 episodes his chaotic nature only further increases these expectations of something amazing that is going to happen. Then he dies. In the least spectacular way possible. And all the chaos he stirred fizzles out, and the show quite literally forgets about him and moves on. So I watched one episode after another in disbelief until I accepted that no explanation is coming. That was it. That's what all the fuss was about - absolutley nothing.

And then the fucking outside episodes arrive.

I basically got edged by a fucking anime.

>>280102945
Experiences linke this are why I don't watch anime, movies or shows, read literature or play video games anymore unless I get to read full plot spoilers and peek at the ending beforehand.

>>280083511 (OP)
I see people post about how these shows are 2deep4u with fans who say "you didn't get it" more than I ever see the fans doing that. They're just good shows. People can overanalyse anything, Lain and Monster especially just straight up show you what they're about because it's more of a "vibe" and the actual fucking plot than some Reddit philosophy essay.

>2deep4u

It's more visually profound in everyway. Westoids are just insecure because their first anime/manga ended up being one of the best and they need to justify wasting their lives watching 300 more anime after it.

Death Note was far from my first anime/manga.

>>280107152
Well it's percieved as one. contr/a/rians would rather pretend to like josei than admit their favourite anime can be pieced together on a meme 3x3. That's why this board pretends to not like Gurren Lagann or LOGH and instead digs up some WMT slop.

>I like a magic girl anime for japanese preschoolers
why do people who say this feel the need to mock anything in 3x3 ever?

>>280107201
Or maybe people like different things than you. It is very unlikely that the very first thing you watch or read in a medium will be your favorite later. If you do go on to watch 300 or more anime you'll likely find something that resonates with you and it might not be on /a/ or reddit's spoonfeed charts.
>>280107227
Who are you quoting?

>>280107201
I haven't seen logh but I did hate gurren lagann. They killed off way too many characters and had the audacity to leave rossiu alive. It could have been good without the character deaths but alas all things considered it was perhaps a 2/10.

>>280083826
I don't have a PhD in theology, but I understood the visual allegories. I was unsurprised to learn that Oshii was at one point a seminarian. But the substance of Angel Egg leaves a lot to be desired. Oshii has a long personal history of theological confusion, so it is what it is. Same with GitS, which I appreciate visually and in it's own spiritual terms despite lacking theological sophistication. What I like the most about GitS was how it became the de facto face of the franchise despite all of Shirow Masamune's kicking and screaming, this will never not be funny to me.

Darling in the Franxx, unironically.

>>280099879
Depends on what you mean by that. It doesn't have real world religious symbolism. But it does something that Evangelion doesn't dare, which is to portray the antagonists as congenitally evil beings. And there is a higher sense of religiosity in this very simple aspect of the anime than anything Evagelion tries to pull with hollow religious symbols.
