>watch 2 episodes of Texhnolyze
>guns, sex, violence, no comedy, color palette ranges from brown to black, characters barely talk or only say cryptic bullshit

This is like a parody of maturity, do weeaboos actually believe this is what adult storytelling look like? There are episodes of Pokemon more mature than this.

no one likes it

>everything is ironic

>>280138932 (OP)
Pretty much yeah. It's crap for teens.

>>280138932 (OP)
Careful OP, you might accidentally engage with something beyond surface level, you should try to watch something that doesn't make you think too much, like family guy for example.

>>280138932 (OP)
Texhnolyze is actually well-written, which you'd know if you watched more than two episodes, but this exact expression of disgust actually happens to be a perfect descriptor of THIS utterly boring piece of shit: a parody of maturity.

>>280138932 (OP)
Yeah, people here will claim that you're an idiot but a lot of adult live action shows like Breaking Bad aren't like this. It has plenty of influence from art house/avante guarde film

>>280139139
Most of Monster's problems aren't its writing, it's the completely lifeless, rote direction.

>>280139139
When does it get good? I'm on episode 5 now and there's been zero emotional depth, zero character, nothing. The closest it came is the main character's (generic) tragic flashback.

Unironically the first episodes of your average battle shounen like My Hero Academia have better writing than this. Im honestly getting the impression that this is only liked because it's babby's first "adult" anime

texhnolyze is so bad i felt personally insulted having watched it after lain and haibane renmei

Despera when?

>>280138932 (OP)
Humans are... le real monster... BOOM

The plot starts in episode 7, which is conveniently titled "Plot".

>>280138932 (OP)
You're 15 years too late with this trolling.

>>280138932 (OP)
When most of the second episode is some rando crawling around moaning long after he should have finished bleeding out, you can see it's just going to be misery porn of the worst sort.

>>280143121
We're over 15 years without cerebral, lynchian anime kino. I've had to subside with the videogame Garage: Bad Dream Adventure and it made me yearn even more for a dying art form in japan.

>>280138932 (OP)
I've tried to watch Texhnolyze 3 times over 20 years and dropped it each time. It really is style over substance.

>>280139139
This.
Everyone builds the show as this super deep an emotional dive into complex characters and supposedly one of the best Villians in all of anime/manga,
>Tenma has multiple opportunities to WOUND Johan to stop him but because he uses his 0_0 on him, he freezes and let's him go.
>Johan is a straight up gary-stu considering how much everyone sucks him off and pretends that he is this 6D chess mastermind, when in reality he's a cross-dressing, mommy complex, nihilist schizo loner who has extreme plot armor
>Inspector Heinrich Lunge and Wolfgang Grimmer are only interesting characters
>The whole Berlin sub-plot was complete filler
>The pacing in ALL of Naoki Urasawa Mangas are extremely slow
>Also most characters have the same face syndrome with a few exceptions

There are other problems i have with this show, but in short it's cosmically overrated

>>280143537
urasawa is a hack in general

>>280141323
>not watching NieA_7 first

Ngmi

Yet another bait thread by some mentally ill manchild, who has nothing better to do but open his childish bait thread.

why did this rile up all the pseuds? your epic deep dark anime is just trash and you don't even have the excuse of anime being an unknown medium now

You're a sad person.
