Any literature about anime?

More of your average /lit/ poster.

These pictures trigger my autism.
I want to sit there and discuss literature.

>>16525565
what pictures?

>>16525225
Quite a lot. There are many textbooks that discuss the history of japanese animations. As expected there are books on pretty much every argument.

>>16524803
O maidens in your savage season. It’s about middle school girls in a literature club going through puberty. Not pedobait

>>16525225
I want a book that explores the aesthetic and why its appealing

>>16524803

read subahibi

>>16525893
Beautiful Fighting Girl. Explores the phenomenon of moe and kawaii aesthetics from a psychoanalitical pov.

Aoi Bungaku, which is a twelve episode series adapting a few different Japanese works. The bulk if I remember is dedicated to Dazai's No Longer Human.

'Gankutsuou' is anime Monte Cristo

Whisper of the Heart

>>16524803
A /lit/ manga? Aku no Hana, a very good reverse teen angst story exploring codependency and emotional revolts against stagnation.

A manga about /lit/? Kuzu to Megane to Bungaku Shoujo: A manga about a dumb girl who, in hopes to being seen as smart, reinvents herself as a "literature girl" reading classics and dressing like a bookish girl would.

Both are good, the former being a better story, but the latter is relaxed and funny and you'll find more references to literature there. There's also that Bookworm anime but it's more about books than literature

>>16526250
This. Great and underrated Ghibili movie.

Aku no hana (the flowers of evil). Literally inspired by baudelaire and the protagonist references it a lot. Lots of people shit on this show because of the animation but I thought it was great.
I think this is one of those anime that can be very appealing to people who usually hate the medium. Everything about it is pretty realistic. It feels more like you're watching a movie desu. I loved it.
A 2nd season was already in the works but apparently it got cancelled since the 1st season flopped hard because the community only likes shows that make their peepee hard.
If you don't like the anime you should still check out the manga.

>>16526269
>recommending the anime
Holy shit, eat poison. I know OP said "anime" but saying they should watch that abomination over reading the far superior source material is criminal.
>I think this is one of those anime that can be very appealing to people who usually hate the medium.
Yeah because it's closer to live action because it's rotoscoped.

OP, don't listen to this midwit and read the manga instead.

>>16526227
Such an underrated show. It was originally going to be based on "The Stars my Destination" which is a sci-fi remake of Monte Cristo but they couldn't get the rights so they just made their own version of sci-fi monte cristo

>>16526299
ohh it's you again huh? we've had this discussion before motherfucker. I'm not giving in.
The rotoscoping was a GREAT choice because it perfectly matches the sense of realism this show gives you. It is a MUCH better choice than the copy&paste art style that infiltrated the whole medium. I love shows that knowingly takes a risk for the purpose of artistic ambition

>>16526264
Is it really underrated? Man that kinda sucks, it's my favorite by far

Read or Die the TV show has some literary references near the end.

>>16526357
Whenever Ghibli is mentioned its always Miyazaki's movies. They forget that gems like Whisper of The Heart and Only Yesterday exists.

>>16526343
How dare you compare Kaiji to that garbage. There's a difference between untilising the medium in an inventive way (i.e The Ping Pong animation) and looking like hot trash (the Aku no Hana animation). WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE ROTOSCOPING WAS GREAT? ARE YOU ON DRUGS?! Do you even know what rotoscoping is? This wasn't "a risk for the purpose of artistic ambition" it was an ugly and lazy practice. Rotoscoping is used when animating a certain task (scenes where a character dances or plays an instrument) would be too difficult and costly to do traditionally so they employ rotoscoping as a sort of short cut. Shooting a live action movie and tracing over it (somehow making it uglier) is not artistic. There are many works who use a lot of rotoscoping and many works with rotoscoped segments that looked far better(meaning not hedious and choppy)and if you any knowledge at all you'd know that Aku no Hana's rotoscoping was shittily done. You childish hatred for conventional styles makes you biased for something that basically just looks a movie with a filter on it. In my dissections of good and bad art, bad art or bad artistic practices are ones that do not utuilise the medium effectively. An animation that uses rotoscope would be a bad artistic practice. You're autistic and have no taste—get your eyes check.
>durr it being ugly fits because the story is ugly
If you think this, you should drop a dumbbell on your head.

I hope they never find out about the rest of manga...

>>16526299
Thanks I actually heard about it but never dug into it. I guess I'll have to read it now.

>>16526261
I miss kuzu to megane to bungaku shoujo so much.
Why did Orikawa have to die for Tomoko lesbian adventures

>>16526250
Marnie is also based off a novel. It didn't get the best reviews but I really liked it.

>>16526696
Same, I really wish we got more. I like Watamote and all but there's something about about a story that circles around literature and people reading in a library together that appeals to me; and I love the lonely gyaru character.
>>16526651
Yeah no prob OP, it's really one of the best manga—a favourite of mine for sure

>>16524831
Jesus Christ this aired in 2016
I can't believe it's already been 4 years it feels like just yesterday there were threads on /lit/ and /a/ talking about it

>>16524831
So it's just 3 minutes each episode? Sad, but I guess it's kinda cute.

>>16527841
It's the exact same joke repeated over and over, if the episodes were any longer it would be unwatchable.

>>16527841
>So it's just 3 minutes each episode?
What, really?

>>16528739
that's a stupid expectation

>>16524831
It really is.

>>16524831
>>16528739
>>16529813
>>16529841
Well shit, I might watch this now

>>16530223
Twelve episodes, each at 3 minutes long. It's not much of a commitment at all.

>>16530239
You don't know me anon. I pause every 30 seconds to do something else because my ADHD is so bad.

>>16529841
I'm all of those except the left one

I though Hyouka was gonna be about literature but it was some nancy drew anime

ok...

>>16526269
Didn't realise this manga had an anime adaptation, perhaps I'll watch it...

>>16530842
You might want to pass up on that one pal.

>>16526393
From Up on Poppy Hill and Marnie are great too

Not really literature but Night is Short, Walk On Girl had a plot which sort of revolved around finding a book.

>>16530256
How do you even finish a book?

>>16531173
Hahahah. I get that same line around here.

>>16531034
Yeah I'm thinking you're right, the manga was great. Don't see how they could even come close in animated form.

>>16531920
While that is true the anime is notorious for being garbage for many different reasons.
