Of course it does. I mean, the deepest anime gets is Evangelion. Anime fans think throwing some references to Gnosticism and Carl Jung makes the crap they watch "deep" when it ain't got shit on The Little Prince.

Infinite Jest and Ulysses are only scratching the surface, when you get to the real stuff it's really transcendental and way beyond any other art form.

Because you said so?

You brainwashed twentysomething college kids are hilarious.

I'm a published philosophy author, NGE is excellent at what it does. The fact that you completely misunderstood NGE is enough evidence to state that you don't understand most of the literature it reads.

NGE is also praised for being a deconstruction, if you weren't ignorant on the medium you would know that.

And guess what, plenty of anime is just pretty looking, humorous, and fun. Get out of your grimdark phase you college kid.

Literature, by it's very medium, is more apt to exploring deep thoughts and theories, and reflections on the human condition through its characters.

Disparagingly calling people "posers" for acknowledging that literature is a higher art form than anime does nothing except reveal your insecurity in this fact.

Maybe.
I'm not sure it actually happened that way though.

It felt more like he made the pilot and first 13 episodes in a very conventional manner in order to be produced and distributed.

Once he had generated enough attention and capital he decided to turn the series into his pet project. hence the marked shift in tone from episodes 14-26, and in particular the really experimental final two episodes (which i loved for the record)

I don't think that it was something that he had been planning on doing since the beginning though.

then again i don't really know enough about the production of the series to comment.

The reason "moeshit" is the best of anime is because anime is made for presenting cute girls to the viewer in a pleasing fashion. This is the emergent value of anime, anime being a marketing tool first and an entertainment product second.

In the same way that the finest literature must have the finest prose before any sort of story should have any true relevance, the finest anime must have the finest cute girls, and preferably no story, because the way anime is produced defeats any ability to create decent stories or reasonable conclusions anyhow.

Lol.

But, no, I tend to agree with you. I love anime because it's mindless and colorful and largely masturbatory. I don't expect any sort of clever characterization or insightful ideas to be presented. It's a sensory experience very much detached from the process of reading a novel or essay. It's some of the "purest" entertainment I can think.

Also, anime is necessarily a product before it is "art", and requires many more people to produce a show than anything written (outside of perhaps an encyclopedia or or advanced technical textbook), which muddies any original vision while being primarily privy to the needs of investors and market demands.

Coming from a lonely permavirgin, these are some good series to watch.
Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei(shallow but good visuals), Mushi shi(episodic nature holds it back a little), Mononoke(shallow but good visuals) and Bakemonogatari(pure fanservice).

What do you lot think of Monster?

Personally, I feel like there were quite a few unnecessary episodes and some general pacing issues, but other than that the character development is off the fucken chain and it deals with some very mature themes.

This is why manga as an art form is far superior to anime, it's just not as popular. Too bad people seem to hate the idea of having to read words instead of hearing them.

Manga is trash because of release structures(one chapter a month for 20 years), but there are some gems.

Anyone who reads manga that is serialized better be prepared for misery, though.

No, not because "I said so", it is self-evident through it's very medium. The medium is the message and written text is about as straightforward and introspective as you can get without it being clouded out by anything else. At it's most base form it can be used to list or document pure information or thought processes. When applied to literary fiction it is a combination of this with the plot as guide. Writing literary fiction requires a broad knowledge encompassing many different areas of life and a deep understanding of the human condition.

Anime is a primarily visual experience; you could define it as a sub genre of television. The clue is in the name really, television is primarily visual. Anime is particularly distanced from reality as far as television or film goes, it features portrayals of women that are entirely distanced from reality and how women actually act, and the same can be largely said for the world that the characters live in. They tend to be unrealistic even when compared to society in Japan. In fact, as others have already remarked, this is primarily the reason why people tend to watch anime in the first place -- and why it tends to attract this specific neckbeard demographic -- because it is completely divorced from reality, and therefore can act as an escape.

Therefore, literature, by it's very medium, is more apt to exploring deep thoughts and theories, and reflections on the human condition through its characters.

It's a bad habit of mine when typing that's all.

I don't necessarily agree that it is "pure" entertainment. It's not a purely sensory experience, you are experiencing something that resembles human characters, and therefore there is a plot and you are following the stories of other human beings. From this your brain is in a malleable state and you will be influenced by what you watch, therefore potentially picking up bad habits or behaviours from anime.

Probably not a problem in small doses but I wouldn't call it "pure" visual entertainment. There is something there that you are picking up on, and if you spend too much time doing it you'll probably get a bit weird.

I'm simply pointing out, in a completely neutral way, how the female characters in anime are completely distanced from females in real life and therefore anime is not a good medium for exploring the human condition.

Don't tell me that you're taking shounen or ecchi anime series as a decent representation of how women are treated. Have you tried anything adapted from a josei or niche seinen series? I'm not saying that they are all well written or mature, but anime as a medium is not as uniform as you think it is, and there are decent representations of women and men, especially those written for women or older men.
