I haven't played vidya in a long time.
Picked up EU3 recently and love it. My first game was as England but I accidentaly pushed my centralization slider 3 notches past my limit when I formed Great Britain. I had just gotten out of a war and my army was virtually dead. Going past my slider limit caused revolts in every province including the newly vassalized North Africa. I lost my entire country to rebels and my last (not autosave) save was before the war. I also had horrible inflation.
So I said "fuck it" and started a new game with Genoa. I turned off inflation before I started the game and then stupidly went for the National Bank idea right away.

I'm still getting the hang of it.

True, but it's also very useful for separating what it will contain thematically. You'd be hard pressed to say something like maus or sandman is only different from whatever DC or marvel are putting out simply because of the title of the subgenre.

In my experience people who make the comment you did just want to find a way to justify still reading comics aimed at children.

> Utena can be seen as the quintessence of the Postmodernist fairy tale.
> This leads to the recurring theme of "murdering our prince", in which Utena and Anthy must choose to symbolic shed their "fairy-tale", and thus their innocence.
>The omnipresence of phallic symbols, such as swords, towers, and cars, and the sexual connotation of dewy petaled flowers contributes to the sense of urgent sexuality, repressed and otherwise, in the series.
>Another very important and recurrent theme is of gender roles (freely chosen or socially imposed), which play a large part in the series, from its very premise in which Utena wishes to be a prince and not a princess. Sexual desire is portrayed as quite fluid; most characters at least hint at having both same-sex and opposite-sex attractions.

the stench of pleb in here is filthy and outrageous

yet i am never disappointed at the misguided and illegitimate attempts by the common prole to beguile themselves into thinking that they somehow have any worthwhile attributes that separate them from the rest of the proles based on their escapist consumption habits. it's both amusing and deserving of a little bit of pity.

also if you're still using the words pleb, patrician, or prole, in this nonironic manner - how disgusting, either step it up or back to /mu/

The term "anime" exclusively refers to animation produced in Japan. There's no such thing as "western anime".

Animation is an art form regardless of what country is producing it, sure, it's just that no good animation has been produced in the English-speaking world in over half a century or so.

There are some gems from Europe of course but those tend to be pretty obscure. Japan seems to have a monopoly on thoughtful and interesting animation.

To tell you the truth I can't tell if I admire or pity somebody who is able to bestow a 'favourite' thing. I think the only favourite thing I have is Evangelion as anime. I think it's because I don't like much anime so it's easy to narrow down which one I actually think is best. With the others I can't do that at all because I like so many and none stand above the others fully. Either that or I simply haven't spent time with them (i.e. Graphic Novels or Plays).

Well it's not really that he was a bad composer, it's just that at the time musicians such as Bach were only *just* beginning to discover music theory and the like.

He was still massively influential and important to music, it's just that his compositions are the most awfully boring shit to ever grace the Earth.

Hayao Miyazaki’s love letter to the natural world is a rare film. It effortlessly transcends its allegorical message to become a legitimate work of genius, all while maintaining its status as one of the most imaginative action films of all time.

Set in feudal Japan, Princess Mononoke follows Ashitaka, a young warrior who, after being cursed by a demon, is forced to leave his village in search of a cure. In the process, he becomes embroiled in a battle between the Gods of the forest and the people of Irontown, an industrial town looking to expand their rapidly growing ironworks over the forest the gods call home.

As with all Miyazaki films, there are no straight forward villains, only characters with valid justification to their actions. Rather than taking the easy option of binary opposition, Miyazaki instead crafts a deeply human story – everyone is out to help themselves, not to hurt others – within a very inhuman world – Gods and monsters and curses and spirits. It’s great testament to the director that he manages to not only pull off this complex feat, but to do so in a film of such grand scale and ambition as Princess Mononoke can only be the meticulous work of a master craftsman.

Visually spectacular and thematically powerful, Princess Mononoke is, quite simply, one of the finest animated films ever made.

Nah what you're doing is making a distinction in western (which is the correct opposition to anime given korean involvement), recognizing that western animation has a strong canon in both pre 1950 and outside of the anglosphere and have thus shaped your question so anime is being compared not against western animation but against almost purely British and American animation from a modern time period.
It's a childish move that recognizes anime has only achieved multiple works of worth very recently and thus aims to limit the opposition to the period in which it is strongest.
Additionally I'd struggle to go far past 10 intellectually stimulating animes

No, I've clearly stated that there have been marvelous works of animation produced in Europe. I'm not denying that.

My point is that those animated gems tend to be pretty rare and obscure. The largest producer of animation in the west is France, who are themselves the largest consumers and biggest fans of Japanese anime in the west. Thus a large portion of French animation is largely inspired/influenced by anime.

Also I excluded pre-1950's animation since, while I agree that there was a strong western canon in that time period, Japan did not produce animation prior to the 1950's. Thus listing examples from this time period is irrelevant and moot.

Your ignorance is evidence of nothing. If a person who is not well-read struggled to name ten good books, does that mean good books do not exist?

I'm not the guy you're arguing with but I'd like to know which worthwhile anime you think exist if it's more than 10. I like anime but I don't know if it's the best medium for intellectual stimulation over entertainment.

Keep in mind that I was also responding to a guy who asked purely for "worthwhile anime" as well. If you do not believe those five examples are intellectually stimulating, you're free to choose from any of my other examples. I listed 33, you only asked for 20.

The others are arguable, but I'm not sure how you wouldn't consider Perfect Blue at least somewhat intellectually stimulating. Unless of course you haven't actually seen it. It's essentially the animated equivalent of an Alfred Hitchcock film.

I'm sorry but some of those are very far from intellectually stimulating. I'm not saying they are bad but you should try to discern between enjoyment and intellectual stimulation more because your point has gone flat. At best they teeter on the minimal profundity that you'd find in a lot of teen novels. I like anime but you're making odd claims. At least half just confuse me in their inclusion. None more so than overly trite and offensively melancholic/sentimental, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time.

Again, I was also replying to someone who asked for anime that is "worthwhile". I don't consider all of it "intellectually stimulating", which is why I listed quite a bit more than just 20.

There are 33 series/movies in that list. If it makes you happy just pick the 20 that you find most intellectually stimulating. If you can not find 20 that you find intellectually stimulating, I'd be happy to name a few more. Obviously, tastes differ. That's why it's a good thing that there's such an abundance of interesting animation being produced in Japan as compared to the rest of the world.

It's the game every kid played and thus looks back upon nostalgically. It's well made but not exceptional. Interestingly the experiences of someone who has been to japan and watched LiT and the person who played MM as a kid will be similar.

I can't pick out 20 which I would call Intellectually stimulating. This is my problem.

You saying 'taste' makes me think we regard 'intellectually stimulating' as something different altogether. I think of intellectual stimulation as (challenging) works which require audience participation due to the removal of narrative coherence for a purpose. Something which represents a profound idea that isn't clear cut.

Then why do you have difficulty recognizing the reasons The Girl Who Leapt Through Time is acclaimed? It's imaginative, engaging, and visually pleasing.

It's not "pleb" to dislike it or whatever, those are just the reasons people do like it. I'm not the biggest fan of the film myself, but I can easily see its appeal.

I think Perfect Blue is pretty similar with Nolan's films, in particular the themes of Memento, Insomnia and The Prestige. This is mainly because of the way the narrative is constructed behind an elaborate lie. Truth is obscured from the audience through the entire film until the end We feel uneasy but we don't know why. He often blends the realm of magic, or suspense of disbelief in reality. I'd say the style of Perfect Blue is more Nolan-like, darker (Insomnia), revolving around an act (The Prestige).

With Hitchcock we tend to be aware that there is an issue from the beginning. He builds tension up and we work our way to that point, driving the narrative. This is around an obvious Macguffin, which Perfect Blue doesn't seem to have in favour of the obscuring truth and jumbling up possibilities that is more Nolan-like.

Nolan has been remarked as a fan of Perfect Blue as well so that definitely entered my thought.

Mostly what I meant is that I think it's more Nolan-like than Hitchcock but I don't discount Hitchcockian themes in Perfect Blue.

That's just my opinion man.

That's a pretty poor definition of "intellectual stimulation" and it reeks of pseudo-intellectualism.

By your definition Kirsanoff and Braglagia should be two of the greatest directors to ever live, no? And Andy Warhol's film Empire should be one of the most intellectually stimulating films ever made, correct?

Perhaps. I don't think it matters how it looks personally. I'm just trying to distinguish between intellectual stimulation and normal stimulation. Intellectual stimulation seems to require a need for thought rather than having everything presented at a shallow level.

If it didn't require thought (through narrative incoherence or just exchange from a normal narrative or whatever) then it would cease to be intellectually stimulating and just be stimulating. I'm not saying it's better. It just seems necessary to require some thought in able to grasp the hidden meaning, presuming of course something has a purposefully constructed meaning beyond that which exists on an obvious plane.

At that point, i'd step in and say a lot of those anime shows don't require intellectual thought in order to grasp them hence they aren't intellectually stimulating.

Eva isn't really "deep" per se. The series itself never actually does really get any deeper than, as you say, a Psych 101 class.

End of Evangelion is just experimental film that makes everyone who watches it go "lol wat" and desperately search for an explanation as to what was going on. That's the main reason Eva is considered "deep".

I honestly believe Evangelion represents an apex of narrative in anime, and that if we are to hold literature as the highest standard (and I believe so too) then NGE is one of the closest anime series to make the literary cut.

I'm open to a debate this right now but only if you'll join earnestly.

I'd like to say yes and say it's mainly concerned with an existential idea of being. That is the point of the show when all is said and done it seems. I agree with the other guy that the depth of EVA is mostly in how obtuse it is.

Still, a lot of people likely have resentment towards it for its pretentiousness. I can emphasise. I think it is. But then I think there's no one right way to present ideas and don't think it is.

People seem to really like the symbolism in Fantastic Planet but EVA gets bad rep and I think a lot is down to the bias of the medium it exists in. I find that unfair.

I do like anime. Not sure if you saw my attempt at defending what I'd call 'intellectually stimulation' above though. Might make things clear. Might be flawed. Might be both.

Maybe i'm in agreement with you. I did think i'd initially struggle with 10. My actual assumption is that there just aren't many anime shows which require thought to get their deeper meaning (many not really having that much of a difficult meaning behind them). I don't discount the medium altogether.
