lol anime has its own category

>>4363012
I'm pretty sure that's final fantasy but w/e

Video games is highlighted in red for some reason. Anime is a category.

>that literature section
>that music section

Someone actually took the time to make this.

>>4363027
It's a troll chart.

>>4363032
How is it trolling if it's so blatantly obvious?

>>4363032
the worst thing is though, individually, they are all decent examples of their medium [can't comment on vg or anime and I will say that the music section is total shite.. So ignoring those] yet slapping the label "greatest artistic achievements onto them just takes it full reddit mode

>>4363034
The only blatantly obvious inclusions were Queen, Naruto, and the entire video game section.

If it weren't for those it could probably pass as a legit chart made by some pretentious college freshman or something.

>>4362960
there's nothing right with that picture

>>4363047

the fuck is flcl

>>4363012
The Final Fantasy scene to give some credit was pretty good, and emotional, for still portraying a death of someone with horse hands. It was pretty unexpected as a piece of writing as well as for the genre.

I dunno why Minecraft is on here, I guess because it appeals to a casual audience by some common share of liking to stack and design things as an individual?

The whole image seems like troll bait though.

Edit as you please

Op I sincerely hope that you are trolling.

I have to point out that Anime is actually to some extent grerat art. I learned a lot of interesting values and feelings from Anime as a child. I haven't watched much or am not a big fan for many years now, but looking back recently, anime is filled with really adult themes and morality.

I might add War and Peace to literature though.

Funny story, when this 'film' premiered in the Czech Republic, the audience was in stitches because they thought it was so ridiculous. They were all either falling out of their chairs laughing or getting up to leave the cinema by the time the dinosaurs came around.

It's Dustin Hoffman. "The Graduate". Very last scene of the movie.

Thank you, my friend.
I only read ROC and bow. I thought it were some sort of a death metal album about horses, redhead, rocks and bows and such. Sorry for the trouble, and thanks again, my friend.

It's subtle with the exception of video-games and film which ain't slightly subtle.

>>4366160
>pleb

>>4366196
Naruto in the anime section and Queen and Diamond Dogs in the music section aren't subtle either.

>>4362960

I would keep:

>Michelangelo;
>Da Vinci (although I don’t like the Last Supper that much);
>Rembrandt;
>Beethoven;
>Bach;
>Cowboy Bebop;
>The Godfather.

Out with the rest.

>>4366221
not that guy, but I hated all kubrick movies. Didn;t enjoy at all.
Also didn't enjoy citizene kane and the rest of the movies by that man.

>>4366230

Akira is also great (but not as profound as some people want it to be – that end is way to pretentious in my opinion).

>>4366237

The only worthwhile films Kubrick has ever created were Barry Lyndon and 2001. As a visual director he's one of the best, but as a storyteller he's mediocre at best.

Are we talking the manga or the anime. Because bro, the manga is fucking balls to the walls insane.

>>4366389

I’ll need to make a serious pleb confession now: I never read the manga, just watched the anime (which is funny, because I always like to read the manga – it gives me more time to think about the material, and you can go back if you sense you did not understand something properly).

I hate to ask OP, but were you born yesterday?

>>4366389

Also, since you like manga too: did you ever read Vagabond? Man, I love this one! It gives me strength to continue in the path of writing when I am down or when I am dissatisfied with myself and my own imperfections. It’s a very powerful portrait of a man desperately and obsessively in search of aesthetic perfection in his main field of activity (in the case sword fighting and swordsmanship): his inner struggles and his enormous amount of work in order to grow as an artist is something deeply inspiring to my thought.

>>4366401

I thought Akira's art and immersion was pretty magnificent.

But the story is shit isn't it?

>anime section but no manga section

>>4366415
Only in the anime since they cut a lot out and only animated like the first half of the manga.

Music should have only classical and jazz artists. As much as I love Dylan I just don't think his works have had the influence of these genres.

Also Wagner, Mozart, Chopin could be replaced by more more nuanced artists. Tchaikovsky I haven't heard enough of to comment.

>>4368231
Mozart and Wagner definitely deserve to be considered top masters in their fields. Chopin and Tchaikovsky are great but I'm not sure deserve to be considered the top of the top.

I would say Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Wagner, and maybe Schubert for composers.

Jazz is fantastic but I'd really only include Davis, Mingus, and maybe Coltrane.

>>4366429
>The Beatles
>Trolling
Queen is obviously trolling, but you don't seriously think the Beatles are, do you?

>>4363869

>>4368231
>As much as I love Dylan I just don't think his works have had the influence of these genres.
Nigger what. Dylan has had the biggest influence of any popular music artist except maybe the Beatles, and hey, do you know why it's called "popular" music? Because it has had a far larger reach to the people as a whole than any previous style. I know classical is still regarded as the most sophisticated, "patrician" music, but every form of art crosses over into mass appeal at some point and I think Dylan embodies that more than any other single artist. I'd put him alongside Bach or Beethoven in terms of artistic (and cultural) importance any day.

The first two volume of Cerebus were great, but it became insufferably bad after that. I dropped it midway through the fourth volume (Church&State II?)

Hey, guys, what's that movie called, in which a guy with long light brown hair is the main character who has sex with lots of women and then he settles down with one, but she is of a some sort of royal family and her father won't accept if he knew that he was 'X' forgot his name, so he sort of hides himself. He was new to the city or that village, but he was so good looking. It's not a very old one (not in black and white) but the time set is in the past and I think they talked in an elegant way.

I am not sure, but I think there's a book with a title as his name, but I'm not sure. It is several volumes and it's very old. Haven't slept in 3 days, please help me.
