The kind of person can distinguish between anime and manga is basically too much of a weeb for me to respect.

It's all just Japanese cartoons.

>>17579013
reminder that you are just as much of a useless piece of societal trash if you browse /lit/ compared to /a/

>>17579013
Agreed, it's like rap in it's various iterations.
Drill, grime, mumble.
It's all just shitty black person music.

A book about writing;
Wild Strawberries;
Teil I / Nr 2 BWV 847 c-Moll Figuriertes Präludium Tanzfuge (second 'track' of Bach's Well Tempered Clavier);
it has to be either Claymore, FMA, Berserk;
not sure on that one too, Berserk, Claymore, FMA, Zashiki Onna, Homunculus, Koroshiya Ichi, Boku to Issho, Shin Chan, Piano no Mori, Tropical Citron. No idea desu.

Divine comedy, The chymical wedding, seraphita, Gods of Pegana
>favorite film
Hard question, maybe taxi driver or maybe something by Lynch, maybe Goodfellas, Maybe House that jack built by Lars von trier but the more I think the more movies pop into my head.
>favorite song
Again, theres so many options, the whole dream of gerontius by Elgar is up there, let the music play by Barry white is, calling for vanished faces by current 93, Martin gaye’s whats going on and God is my friend, Gilbert O’Sullivan’s alone again and also Clair, Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme by Simon & Garfunkel, Vers la flamme by scriabin but the more I think the more comes up. Can’t do it.
>favorite anime
Tie between mushishi, dragon ball, revolutionary girl Utena, legend of the galactic heroes, berserk, evangelion, lain, YuYu and Monogatari.
>favorite manga
Comedy manga would be Thermae Romae, more serious manga would be berserk.

But honestly the more I sit with any of these the more and more answers comes up.

Didn’t mean to post an image but you know what, it works.

>>17579111
Yes, kinda this. I always pick some favorite and end up regretting of feeling that I'm not being 'fair.'

>>17579111
yeah same for me. Don't really have 1 absolute favorite of each. Just a group of 10ish things I absolutely love.

How do you feel about the movie Casino?

>>17578990
fav book(s) : Trout Fishing in America, Tales of Ordinary Madness for eng. in dt. Zettels Traum or Zarathustra, es. Ficciones, fr. In Search of Lost Time or Nausea
fav movie : Apocalypse Now or Pulp Fiction
fav song : Seemann, both Rammstein and Apocalyptica
fav manga : Berserk or Dragon Ball

>>17579205
weirdly enough have not seen that yet.
Goign to watch it soon but want to watch Raging Bull from Scorsese first before I get to Casino.

>>17579222
Fair enough, the only problem with casino is the female, but otherwise it has the best clothing and some of the funnest scenes in any mafia movie. Raging Bull is pretty great though.

Berserk is trash

Never understood why people like Claymore, it's poorly written imo. Tropical Citron is good though.
>>17579111
Never saw you as the type to like Taxi Driver, thought you'd say The Color of Pomegranates or something.
>Rosemary and Thyme by Simon & Garfunkel
Chef's kiss.
>>17579165
Ping Pong the Animation really is great, one of that last anime of it's era. The mid to late 2010's were not the greatest.
>>17579215
I've heard about Trout Fishing in America, is it really that good?

>>17579379
I mean, taxi driver is about a guy who doesn’t really understand the emotions of others, has high ideals of masculinity and there’s a constant contrast of the filth of the modern world against the purity he wants to see. On a intellectual and emotional level, I get it. Maybe not for the reasons folks usually like it, but it’s much the major theme of the film.

>>17579379
yeah haven't watched much in past 2-3 years but anime really wasn't that good from 2012-2020 from what I've seen
also based Naoki Urasawa chad
I like Historie as well, too bad the release is so fucking slow

>>17579398
That's definitely fair, just thought you hit us with a Kenneth Anger film or something experimental. Taxi Driver is good though, I respect it.
>>17579444
Yeah between Berserk and Historie I can't tell which author will croak first. Feelsbadman. There was actually a manga about Pliny the younger that I read a bit ago, it's called Plinivs. Pretty good manga if you're looking for something similar to Historie.

>>17579485
Oh thanks I'll definitely read that. Historical manga seems like such a niche. Hard to find any that are worthwhile.

Vagabond and Vinland Saga are also good in that regard. Vinland Saga is particularly great.

>>17579522
>>17579513
Here
I was all set to have Vagabond as my favorite manga but it's still unfinished

>>17579541
I mean two of the manga I listed as my favorite aren't completed yet so that honestly not that bad lol.

>>17579522
Agreed, although I find Vinland Saga has gone downhill quite hard after the farm arc.
I recommend Shigurui if you haven't read it.
A bit too much gore and nudity perhaps but imo the best historical (and non-glorified) look at the brutal nature of sword-schools and feudal Japan.

>>17579569
>Shigurui
This looks like Baki's art style. I'll pass.

>>17579485
Oh don’t get me wrong, those are good also, but I find a lot of art films fail as proper art, they try so hard that they fail at the goal of causing internal contemplation in the viewer. House that jack built (and 2001 space odyssey for me also) would be good examples of movies that produce contemplation and are Aesthetically pleasing and aim pretty high. At the same time, something like taxi driver is such a good contemplation and so well done that I really can’t think of someone who will watch it and not get any interior movement from it. You should definitely check out house that jack built if you haven’t.

>>17579569
I think the bit where Askeladd died, and the arc after his death up through the farm arc was definitely peak Vinland Saga but I think it was still good up until the most recent arc. I really like Sigurd and all that but it really did combust and roll off a cliff pace wise. I'll definitely check Shigurui out, looks cool. Read Kingdom if you're looking for a manga about Chinese history btw. Not like the other manga I've mentioned in regards to tone, as it takes the dynasty warriors approach to Chinese history, but it's still good. Really long though.

>>17579626
what? the art is great?

>>17579652
Not to me anon. Glad you're enjoying it though.

>>17579647
I've read a kingdom, although I'm now about 50 chapters behind. I really liked it when I read it although it's a bit less memorable than the others imo.

>>17579642
I think those movies are meant to circumvent your analytical drive in order to allow for a raw, unmitigated experience, but I get where you're coming from. I'll check that film out, thanks for the rec.

>>17579626
Baki is lame but it's art style is great. Now Kengan Ashura, that's a martial arts manga.
>>17579664
I'm on chapter 600 lol, gonna have to set aside quite the period of time to catch up. And I need to catch up with Hajime no Ippo, Dr. Stone (surprisingly good), and I'm reading through Pessoa's Selected Prose, it never ends. Too much good art out there.

>>17579740
I'm just not a fan of everything looking so lumpy and disproportionate. It's gross man.

>>17579815
I mean they're supposed to feel like alien goliaths

>>17579841
But I like human beings to look human. That's why I thought Vagabond had nice artwork.

>>17579882
Fair, if you were looking for more realistic art Baki wouldn't do

thought it was a realistic take

>>17581504
it is. This is a scene inside the character's mind. He talks of his opponent and ascribes him the attributes of a tiger. It's a not a real tiger lol
