Who is the most well-read?

That japanese guy

>>280781451 (OP)
Of the people on that list who I can recognize... probably Gen Urobuchi? He has a grasp of old school science fiction and its philosphical underpinnings at least, which is more than a lot of otaku directors.

>>280781451 (OP)
Urobuchi Gen, or Isao Takahata (not pictured). At least that's what I gathered from various interviews. The rest of them are far more visually inclined.

>>280781451 (OP)
better question, why cant millennials and gen z produce people on their level?

>>280781629
That's not a better question.

>Generation war faggotry out of nowhere
Don't take the bait anons. Don't do it. You're better than this.

>>280781451 (OP)
Anno has said he reads women's romance novels to understand the female perspective better

>>280781629
We have masterpieces like Frieren, Dandadan, and Sonny Boy

>>280781451 (OP)
Honestly I don't think any of them read much, except for maybe Konaka.

>>280781451 (OP)
Out of the ones in the picture, I would say it is between Oshi and Ikuhara.

>>280781721
You are joking right?

>>280781451 (OP)
celebfagging is cancerous

>>280782641
You know Frieren is literally the no 1 anime right?

Where is the World Trigger thread

>>280781451 (OP)
Ryukishi read more mystery novels.

>>280781451 (OP)
I don't see Tomino there

>>280781451 (OP)
Our lord and savior is.

>>280781543
Urobutcher admitted he never read most books he quote in his works

>>280781451 (OP)
Not sure what that means but Ryukishi is the worst

>>280781451 (OP)
God, I hate Anno so much. What a fucking hypocrite he is.

>>280786876
>What a fucking hypocrite he is.
huh?

>>280786876
So easy to spot an Asushin fag

>>280786876
I like Anno.

>>280786938
I don't care about Asuka. Like, at all, there would be no difference for me if she wouldn't exist.
>>280786899
He thinks that he's a robot despite being turbonormalfag all his life. He's like female psychiatrist trying to give life advice to some 35yo alone, depressed man.

>>280781451 (OP)
Hey, it's that pizza man from Death Stranding 2!

>>280781451 (OP)
They all well-read, even the monkey in center left. Being "well-read" matters very little.

More people need to call him out. And Shinji is normie self insert garbage

>>280786362
He literally said Miyazaki and Takahata were far ahead of him in reading

>>280787329
So humble, what a guy

>>280786362
>>280787209
I can't know with confidence just how well read he actually is
But basing his shows on Nietzsche, Lolita, Wilhelm Reich, Anne of Green Gables, War and Peace...
Being a novelist himself...
Not only that, but a storyboard artist, composer, and lyricist who's written songs and OPs for a bunch of his own shows

He's a genuine Renaissance man

>>280787463
and he knows how to write not a sad pussy, too!

>>280787559
Indeed, he has a real sense of what is full and lickable

>>280787463
>Nietzsche
babbies first philosopher

>>280787463
You are easily impressed

>>280787657
Perhaps I am, but Tomino is the only director in the thread who has really impressed me with the high quality of his writing

>>280787625
I sometimes question Nietzsche as a philosopher myself, but his writing is certainly of cultural and literary value, regardless of whether you consider him to be a philosopher

Do you guys even read these days?

>>280788192
I'm reading the Bible to understand Evangelion

>>280788192
I do.
But I read what interests me, casually, not really with any sense of ambition.
Last book I read was Robert Henri's "The Art Spirit" after David Lynch passed away.

>>280788192
I was reading the third dune book a month ago and plan to return to it soon. Its pretty dec and very /a/ coded; Paul jr. threatens to marry his sister every other chapter.

>>280781629
Previously you have to read, you have to watch, you have to live at least to produce something worthy.
And those people together made something interesting, if most people today grew up on slop, gacha, and tictok, what can they make?

>>280788192
do LN raws count as reading
