very much agreed. i like the sense and universe(s), but the theme they go for is usually pretty surface level. i think the og did a good job of not trying to shove in a specific hit you over the head message and imply tried to tell the story of different people and their different contextual feeling in a war. in a way, they vagueness lends itself much more to an interesting thematic sense then the overbaring WAR IS BAD or something in other gundam series.

Anime is Degenerate

There can be fine anime entertainment, LoGH is the best possible example for its case, but we must accept that the majority of anime is degenerate, 99% of it. And we must acknowledge the common ridiculousness of it too, as a sort of degeneracy. For to make a man ignore such a thing, just general stupidity or sometimes perverseness(as common with anime), and "try to like it" is degenerating effect.

Such common ridiculousness, and its lonely cult of immature men;-- We all remember our cherished childhood investments, and this is fine when it is a cherished childhood, and not lived into adulthood. For make no mistake, the man that got into anime as a teenager and has grown up with it no less faltering in his often obsession, and love of it, is no different from the boy who grew up with his comic books and cartoons and never outgrew it. Perhaps there is the level of degree in which the weab is above the soiboy, but small matters of degree. Where the more "seriousness, violence" of anime(, has also in itself its common perverseness) , may allow a greater ease to which an adult can enjoy it, but it's still a ridiculousness, or embarrassment(of fatherly virtue), no less when he considers himself a committed watcher of anime, and we are speaking even irrespective of the perversity.

And the actual topic of appreciating it, any supposed depression from anime, or a depressive character about it; that is, an impact from anime, is more the result of a mind zapped of its intellectual rigour, by his over devotion of his energies onto this emptiness -- wherein he must create something or lower himself to it -- , from focusing on unsymbolic forms for too long, an adjusted state to its type of language, mostly meaningless shapes which we must "learn" to understand. We must "get past" the silliness and stupidity to "appreciate it". The drawing style itself, with its big eyes, is stupid and made for little girls, arising out of the sedated and in many ways feminised post-war Japan, these are the shows that children watched. And there is nothing wrong with that, the original cartoons, like an Astro Boy(though of a racially different motivation to us, and as result in many ways emotionally incomprehensible as like many other cases from its country), which is similar to a Mickey Mouse. But we have as of yet, and do not intend to, actually go into detail of that 99% of anime, wherein there is an active force of perversity, consciously directed in such a way, and not by subconscious structures.

And the soiboy problem always comes back to the feminine, there is no blame for a man being physiologically feminine, but there is a blame for him to not try to self improve. And for him to willingly neglect himself to such a lowering thing. I remember the completely foreign character it had on my understanding in its every look and pronunciation when I first watched it, but I went through all the supposed "good" anime and after trying it all, I have only recapitulated my original beliefs of its oddness and pointlessness, though as I have said some may be fine entertainment. Cinema is a lazy modern medium, and limited by this, even after it has been championed by the midwit during the twentieth century as something better or more unique than it is; Anime is the even more so lazy medium.


So what do we do about its disturbing influence on the minds of so many a ungrown youth?

For a cartoon anon, while also accepting the utter stupidity of it and having to "give-in" to that in a sense to appreciate or imagine any depth about it. In this way it supersedes the typical limits of anime while falling exactly into its degenerating effect and far-reaching mentality.

Did I say that? But they are not "Drama" in its definition of say a Play, an Opera or a movie. That is what the definition of Drama as an art actually is, and not an gay children's drawing style.

It's my personal view that the visual freedom and break from physical limitations of reality that drawn art a medium possesses can enhance the work's ability to convey drama among other things. I certainly wouldn't argue that most animated works live up to this potential, but this isn't a reason to view the literal aspect that it is drawn and not physically performed by actors in a set as a net negative. I don't see a reason to view cartoons as so inferior except that this is the dominant social perception and it is supposed to be wrong and stupid to disagree, and your way of expressing your argument seems mostly based on shaming for failing to accept the "obvious" without any substance as to why it is this way.

I also don't see a real line between animated and live action movies, functionally speaking, beyond the different creation processes and medium limitations of each one.

>this level of retarded pragmatism
Let me put it this way then, you know when you're arguing with a smug retard that has such a little understanding or ground to claim anything that you have to persist in proving every detail even when priorly said? That's you, it's not social "pressuring", you just lack the thought to understand what I'm saying. Anime is specific type of cartoon, and it undoubtedly is limited in both its smallness and its silliness, for this japanese style is of both. But this does of course go into cartoons on large, and it is not content "freed from limited" form as you so dumbly propose, but a highly primitive(and without the religious boons of the primitive man) and childish state, which has a unique value, but is by far the most limited and unimportant of all the "mediums" so to speak. It should not even be considered within art. And as for the character of Drama, you seem to forget that it in its true sense is defined by the human acting and moving, as Play for example, as well as originated from this and achieved any sense of an apotheosis naturally in its own definition. Cartoons can never reach that phenomenological "catharsis of the emotions" in which Aristotle speaks of that one finds in Drama, acted or read. Everything necessary to explain all this has already been said, I spoke on the dumbness of cartoons, and the effect it produces on the brain when watching them as thoroughly as soiboy capeshit brainlets like you do. None of them are deep, they lack all possibility to be deep, and your only escape now is to teeter on the relativist card as you have been and so many others do too, yet of course we know things are not relative, so many still delude themselves into their fantasy's to rationalise a purely socially conditioned taste, even if it isn't too destructive but one shows it's stupidity, they cannot accept it out of some often identity built around it, and feel the need to defend themselves as they are defending their own respectability, in their eyes. This is you, and you need to grow up. To put it clear, imagine a soiboy saying "ughh that's just adhoms" when someone called him a soiboy for obsessing over capeshit. The truth is in the argument, and one unable to understand that is one without the real values which can easily see the silliness of such a thing.
