/lit/ - Literature

Indeed that is just the thought that just conjured in my brain as I sit here. I've never read any deep analysis of what art really is. But I'm certain there are things within the medium that could convince even the harshest critics, where they could at least admit that there is some merit there. Most of it really is YA-tier though, and it seems like the short era of making "artistic, literary" or rather thematically heavy anime is long over. Now its all about telling a straightforward story that is guaranteed to sell. It's the nature of the beast since anime is so expensive to make.
