Please don't tell me that you actually fell for it again.

I didn't.
t. watched 2 episodes of VEG before dropping, haven't watched Takopii but will probably jerk off to the loli.

Give any examples for stuff that has "themes full of substance", "no emotional manipulation whatsoever" and "a good ending".

>>281119961 (OP)
People fall so easily for shitty, poorly written miseryporn. Same way they cum themselves over Punpun.

"Emotional manipulation" is the most teen brained criticism. You're not enlightened for recognizing that a work wants the viewer to feel a certain way.

I stopped falling for the seasonal meme altogether and now get to watch misery porn with actual themes

>>281120730
Except picrel's not misery porn in a sense that this has more nuance and a real point to the story instead of just getting a rise out of the audience(hence porn).

And also treats its characters and audience with dignity.

>>281119961 (OP)
Shallow execution*
No theme is shallow by itself.

>>281120860
Yeah but some people will still call that misery porn so whatever, I just own it.

>>281119961 (OP)
You could have picked literally any two series on the planet to make this point and not out yourself as a popularthingbad autist

>>281121188
Not me, though. I'm not a fan of misery porn myself, hence I actively avoid OP, and I do know what is misery porn and what's not.

>shit on takopi for being misery porn
>it ends
>shit on it for not being misery porn

>>281121465
It IS misery porn from start to finish.

No amount of contrived DEMs will save it from what it is.

As a manga reader, I was hyped to see people talk about Takopi's biblical themes but instead they talk about yuri.

Really animebros, top 10 of all time? Cowboy Bebop is rolling in his grave.

Is everyone who uses this term retarded?

Both great shows, some of the best of anime

/thread

>>281123876
It's a seasonal anime

>>281122749
Yeah, a year-long show which was over 25 years old by the time it got subbed
You are one autistic retard

>>281120696
Making viewers feel a certain way simply for the sake of it IS the point of porn(sexual, misery etc). Which is not what good writing is about.

I liked it better when this kind of shit used to be called middlebrow.

>>281125995
>Middlebrow
That's the perfect way to describe takopi.
It's adapted to a shonen targeted audience after all.

>>281125830
ALL writing is meant to make you feel a certain way. That's why saying something is emotional manipulation is stupid when it's in the context of entertainment. That's the whole fucking point of it.

>>281119961 (OP)
Yep and mal's current #1 has 3 of the 4, and will have everything you listed when it ends

>>281119961 (OP)
According to Mal the best anime ever made is frieren, AOT, FMAB, Gintama, One Piece fan letter and Takopii. I think anyone with half a functioning brain wouldn't take them seriously.

>>281126266
No shame in admitting that you got manipulated. No need to make that huge cope.

I thought this thread would be about 80s and 90s OVAs.

>>281126883
Sorry about your brain damage

>>281125694
A seasonal is a seasonal regardless of time. You're probably getting defensive because you don't realize it's a shitpost term to begin with.

>>281120730
The older I get the more I enjoy misery porn. The more miserable the better. It's honestly probably the reason I have been consuming so much chink/Russian shit

>>281121551
>Cowboy Bebop
that's just wokeshit though

>>281121551
I say this as someone who watched Cowboy Bebop decades ago as one of their first anime, Takopi is better than Cowboy Bebop. Cowboy Bebop is top 15 though probably

>>281119961 (OP)
I just don't like the ridiculous caricature that Japanese put on any character who does bad things in anime. The portrayal is so bad it ruins everything it touches. On the opposite end of the spectrum is deadpan lifeless selfwank. In both cases they're works created by autistic retards.

>>281125694
Every anime is a seasonal anime
