STOP WATCHING ANIME
Anime represents a totally new order of simulacra, the Platonic shadow-play. notice how the features of the vast majority of anime characters are totally interchangeable. even the most iconic characters suffer from this, but although to a lesser extent. all features become swappable for another, the eyes, the nose, the hair, the mouth, they achieve the autonomy of the Cheshire grin, insurgent partial objects. are we being too abstract? notice how it only takes some anime eyes with long eyelashes and a mouth to feminize even an inanimate object. medieval anime, then, refers to a very interesting and disturbing phenomenon: just as it would be incredible to imagine a Victorian dinner party playing modern electronic music, so does it seem equally absurd to imagine medieval peasants hitting on the captivating design aesthetic of anime far, far away from the high-glamour of Kali Yuga technology. but that is in fact what happened in some very rare cases: men with an uncommon discernment peering into the ahrimanic Utter Door of the 21st c. they saw that infernal entities would bootstrap themselves into the corporeal through cartoons. they understood the sheer intoxicating power of the mind to attribute life and personality to lines and colors arranged in a human-like form, just as the archons do.

Anime girls are merely abstract projections of the anima, wrought into being with the toil of animation. A lot of the values and sentiments expressed in anime are very human and spoken by outsiders, people on the fringes of the hedonistic demiurgic machine society. It's a clinging still to that hedonism in some ways but even its more degenerate and perverted parts are more innocent in a way, definitely better than what you see in western media. A preference for the abstract forms of anime over the material world could transform into a preference for the spiritual; first you have to become aware of your soul before you understand that giving in to its desires is bad, even in a perfect and and pure aesthetic dream romance like only anime can portray. An incestuously dreamed up simulacrum that has no relation to reality and could never be; its purest and most well-realized expression is shown in Oreimo—truly the greatest love story ever told.

Well yeah, if you're talking about shit like BNHA or Naruto.
But stuff like Evangelion, or Cowboy Bebop, that has some rhetorical value.
You can say the same of any mode of storytelling, that some of it's repetitive crap and some of it's groundbreaking literature. As long as you don't solely stick with one or the other, you're fine.
If you solely stick with repetitive crap, you're gonna be a normie-tier NEET. If you solely stick with groundbreaking literature, you're gonna be a stuck-up douche who posts too much on /lit/.

just the ending, nothing really to do with the plot. I thought it was worthwhile if you enjoy Houellebecq. In some ways it's more experimental than the other books of his I've read.

The gospels in general are the most beautiful thing ever written. Christ's miracles are always intense emotionally. The part of The Grand Inquisitor where Christ is performing miracles has the same effect. The effect comes from understanding how it all fits in, that God came in the flesh to save mankind. When the messenger comes to Jairus, who has come to Christ to ask him to heal his daughter, who is sick, and the messenger tells him "Your daughter has died, do not trouble the rabbi." One can imagine Jairus' grief in that moment, how utterly crushed he must have been, for this was not merely a baby that he had had, but a daughter whom he had bonded with for years. And Christ says to him "do not be afraid, only believe." And Jairus apologizes for having troubled him, for the girl is dead. Christ says that she is merely asleep. The servants chastise him for mocking Jairus' grief, but Christ says "Little girl, I say to you: wake up!", and she stands up and walks. One imagines not only the gratitude by the awe. One wonders if then Jairus realized that it was no mere rabbi, but the master of life and death.

When I read one of the Gospels detailing Jesus life and death, I was sobbing by the chapter of his execution. Jesus was the purest, most innocent soul. Yet also he was the bravest.

He was surrounded by vile snakes of men who constantly plotted his death for...healing the blind and lame.

>did she really want to be present at the great ceremonial high office when Zupfner was made a Knight of Malta, surrounded by chancellors and presidents, and at home with her own hands iron out the drops of wax in his robes? A matter of taste, Marie, but not your taste. It is better to put your trust in an unbelieving clown, who wakes you early enough for you to get to Mass on time, who will even pay for a taxi for you to go to church. You’ll never need to wash out my blue jersey.

Alone this passage isn’t really much but if you read the book it’s heart breaking. He’s agnostic and doesn’t even like the church but loves Marie and makes sure she gets to church on time because she’s a catholic. Shes the one thing he really loves and she leaves him.

I know you're joking, but I definitely cried during the scene in the film. They obviously did it better than in the books, JK Rowling can't write for shit. There's a scene in the sixth film where Slughorn relates a story about a lily petal and a fish which I thought was more touching than anything Rowling could have come up with.

Lots of Russian literature. Asya, for example. I almost always cry at anime though. Beautiful Ghibli scenes, like Porco Rosso, Spirited Away, especially the scene where Haku regains his memories of Chihiro. Gunbuster, the last few Gurren Lagann episodes. And, of course, the first and only anime that truly destroyed me, Neon Genesis Evangelion. I was crying like a little girl when this piece came in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EasGG-RqxU
