/lit/ - Literature

>>8599845
No and we've been over this before.

>>8599845
That's not Haibane Renmei

I don't know but for sure Makishima is the most /lit/ villain

>>8599845
does magical realism better than 100 years of solitude

>>8599885

>>8599914

>>8599896
Holy... I want more...

One of you weebs needs to translate this, right fuckin now

>>8599845
Probably pic related.

>>8599896
Why do shows like this get made? Who the fuck's watching? It feels like such a waste of man-hours.

>>8599845
10/10 politics right here.
sage for not /lit/

>Why do shows like this get made? Who the fuck's watching? It feels like such a waste of man-hours.
That argument can be applied to any anime made

>>8599845
You guys aren't even trying. It's time for you to graduate.

In no specific order...

Monster - Urusawa Naoki
Gyo, Uzumaki, Tomie - Itou Junji
Vagabond - Inoue Takehiko
Sangokushi - Yokoyama Mitsuteru
Buddha, Hi no Tori - Osamu Tezuka

FLCL is great, but, "the most /lit/?" Hell no.

>>8599897
Shit anime.

>>8599967
>It feels like such a waste of man-hours.
thats what all art feels like

>>8599949
basically just
>i love infinite je-
>pretentious pomo bullshit
>lol me too, it sucks.... -_-'

>>8599845
le randum is not /lit/

There can't even be any debate. Legend of Galactic Heroes is by far the most /lit/ anime. 19th-century tier.

>>8600001
>overrated shit

>>8600019
If the artist is into it it's cool. But putting so much time into turning some guys stupid gag comic book into a tv show which will probably make virtually 0 use of the medium change must be pretty demoralizing.

LoGH is a newfag's >>8599969

>NOT EVEN JUSTICE, I WANT TO GET TLUSS

>>8599970
Didn't see you, what I wrote in >>8600031 applies to your post about as well as the other.

>>8599896

>doesn't actually read
>claims she does

Is this /lit/'s new waifu?

>>8599845
LOTGH

MONSTER

PunPun

Lain

Ghost in the shell

Baccano

Those are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head.

Anime has its high points for sure, but without a doubt manga is the superior weeb /lit/ platform. I vote for Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou, with honorable mentions to Freesia and Kokou no Hito.

>>8600037
Everything with a serious tone by Oshii.

meaning:
GitS
Patlabor
Angel's Egg
Jin-Ro
+LOTGH
+Neotokyo
+Lain

>>8600038
I suppose the point is not which one is closer to /lit/, but rather Anime that measures up to decent literature.

>>8600027
I haven't seen it, but it looks impressive.

>>8600031
Oh look, the village idiot has arrived.

>>8600043
>I suppose the point is not which one is closer to /lit/, but rather Anime that measures up to decent literature.

That's what I meant. There are great works to be found in anime, but some manga reach heights and depths that are extremely rarely seen in anime, that I honestly think some of them are so great they more than measure up to great literature.

>>8600037
Good pics.

>>8600038
Everyone knows that Manga peaked with Devilman. Hell, human achievement peaked with Devilman. All accomplishments from Devilman onwards are just competing for second place.

>>8600037
>LOTGH
>MONSTER
STOP

>>8600054
>LOGH IS DEEP
no it's not

>>8600037
I will never understand why people like Urasawa so much, it's like he writes exclusively for the plot, there's no element of humanity or intimacy in his works.

>>8600024
Sounds like /lit/ alright.

>>8600068
HOLY FUCK YOU ARE DUMB.

Monster is literally ENTIRELY about the nature of man and choice.

>but no le feels

Get over it.

>>8600075
>Monster is literally ENTIRELY about the nature of man and choice
elaborate

>>8600075
That may be its "theme", but it lacks nuance and in-depth understanding. To make a reader know of something is one thing, to make him comprehend it and feel it is another. For myself, I would much a rather read something that tackles a much simpler subject but with soulful writing and imagery than a logical chain of events and plot twists connected by a theme for theme's sake.
That is not to say I hate Urasawa's work, personally I think he's mastered the art of classical writing, I'm sure he can whip up a three act story about whatever theme he gets dished with semi-interesting characters that have that certain realistic scent that reels people in his work, but for my taste I would take a Punpun over a Monster every day.
