What are some /lit/ animes? Pic related is most definitely one, even though they go overboard on literary/philosophical references, i still thought the art/animation and story were pretty great.

Damn OP, shame on you for not knowing that /lit/ is a containment board for the pseudo-intellectual shitposters that flooded in last summer.. I thought ergo had its moments when it wasnt being all in your face about how smart it is.

Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo have a lot of literary references and allegories going on that i wasnt even aware of the first time i watched them, but it really just made the shows that much better the second time around

Compared to the manga sure but Akira is still a great film. I assume that you are talking about good /lit/-type anime though, because if we're going just straight off good anime then there are many more (SnW, Mushi-Shi, Baccano, Anohana, Kenshin, Bebop, Trigun, FMA:Brotherhood, GTO, etc).

Also the list is missing LotGH, Casshern Sins, and Read or Die.

/lit/ doesn't know shit so I'll post.

Angels Egg is the artistic and intellectual peak of anime. It is a metaphyisical masterpiece with actual intelligently implemented biblical allegories and symbolism, interpreted through the confused minds of the flim so as to construct coherent meaning to their gothic, post apocalyptic setting, of which is beautifully crafted by Yoshitaka Amano.

To discuss animes that are based on or influenced heavily by important works of literature/philosophy, and do so well.

Wasn't it the one where Kino encounters the people building train tracks? That's the episode which reminds me most of The Myth of Sisyphus, then again it's been years since I last watched Kino.

I'll vouch for Mushishi as being literary. The entire thing just feels like a really lovely, good prose novel.

Haven't seen AE, so I can't really talk, but scores for anime are pretty regularly retarded. IMDB has pretty bad scores to go off of, and MAL thinks trash like NGNL and SAO are masterworks.

Aoi Bungaku is an anthology series that adapts 20th Japanese literature like Kokoro and No Longer Human. People say it doesn't do the books justice, though.

Then there's the World Masterpiece Theater franchise with series like Anne of Green Gables. It's directed by Isao Takahata, "the Grave of the Fireflies guy."
