>Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone has all the markings of a classic. Rowling uses classic narrative devices with flair and originality and delivers a complex and demanding plot in the form of a hugely entertaining thriller. She is a first rate writer for children.

Reminder that there is literally nothing wrong with Harry Potter; it's a cracking good yarn full of wit and charm, and the perfect book for kids.

Shitting on HP because it has an adult fan base of mouth-breathing fanfic writers is like shitting on Dune for having total autists as fans, or on the works of Camus because he's inspired countless edgy teens.

Shit on a work for its quality, not pop culture perception. Like anything by John Green because that man is a hack.

Pottershit is literally the lowest tier of literature. If a child was given the chance to read only Harry Potter for ever and ever, or watch Harry Potter films for ever, the latter would offer more in terms of intellectual development. And the adults reading Harry Potter - well, they're a lost cause.

I am relatively new to the anime fandom, unfortunately. I had a thread yesterday on /lit/ explaining that I'm a lit-casual and anime-casual fan.

If you can recommend me some anime masterpieces of plotline that doesn't become fanservice garbage (like Future Diary), I'd be ecstatic to recieve them.

What is EoE?

My favorite is CoS. Mad comfy.

I think the fourth is objectively the best. It had neat, traditional plotting (three tasks and all that); it was well paced; it had loads of character development; and it had a big, sexy climax. I was kind of butthurt that there was no quidditch though.

Drop Busdriver, Tribe Called Quest, Michael Jackson and Pink Floyd. Replace "A Love Supreme" with "Blue Train". Include more electronica and contemporary classical. "Yeezus", too.

The literature section needs a near complete overhaul. The film section is in dire need of some Tarkovsky and some Resnais.

Video games should be Myst, Dear Esther, Papers Please and literally nothing else. Mario Galaxy 2 at a stretch.

Not sure if animation should be distinguished from film. I will admit it's nice seeing Coonskin in there.

Depends on your definition of art
There is definitely a skill and craft to making fun video games.
Things like player psychology and efficient programming require skill and technique to master, much like painting.
A well made mahogany table isn't going to move me, or teach me, but there's an art to making it.

The original Super Mario Bros is a great example of this craft.
