Do you think he would have liked anime?

Plato would have gone insane in just a week of living in the modern world.
>Do you think he would have liked anime?
Considering he would need to have been fed estrogen, fluoride, vaccines and cultural marxism as a kid to even enjoy that, probably not.

No, he would have seen it as an even crasser and sillier imitation of life than he had at once thought possible, because there is also obviously some basic culturally learn technical skill to it (so it can animate at all), rather than just kid doodles. Honestly he probably would have seen it as pretty degenerate, and a waste of energy (to all the Greeks this view can be attributed).

Late Plato however would have truly seen it as pointless, when he was no longer as harsh on good art itself.

No. Any historical figure of note would be disgusted and appalled by anime

the humanitrannies who use this board are very much threatened by the fact they weren't smart enough for STEM and so lash out at anything scientific out of spite using their computer and internet gifted to them from science

This, but they weren't smart enough for real /lit/ topics either, fake polymaths, humanities is just like memorising colours for their googooga brains.

If he somehow overcame the sheer disgust and horror at the state of the modern world, then sure. There’s nothing implicitly wrong with anime.

>> No.17556326

>>17556312
Do you mean the medium (i.e. Japanese drawn cartoons) or what's actually being made in the medium?

>> No.17556393

>>17556326
Both. There’s nothing implicitly wrong with the medium (Japanese drawn cartoons). There’s also nothing implicitly wrong with what’s being made in the medium, at least not universally. Do you disagree?

Of course I disagree, that's retarded. How can you speak universally if we're talking about what's being made in the medium? The majority of what is being made, and definitely what most weabs like, there is something wrong with.

Of the medium potential itself, universally I would say there's nothing wrong with it.

Reminder that it takes less than 1 year of watch time to watch all the worthwhile anime material.
