Is this true, /lit/? Nge stands, of course, for the anime masterpiece neon genesis evangelion.

No, /lit/ always has been and always will be an anime board.

4channelers don't like popular things.
Even if they're good things.
It's a common knowledge.
Also Celine becoming sort of popular rn so /lit/ will hate him too eventually.

That post is so out of touch with reality it's painful. Watching oriental cartoons genuinely makes you slow as a person. Whenever these gaynime types posts, the lack of coherency and the abundance of completely nonsensical thinking is always present.

The themes of nge would still be present though. What would change is merely the setting and the lack of visual and audio qualities, which are what makes /lit/ seethe since it's an anime

I don't like anime in general, but I did like NGE. End of Evangelion especially (very morbid, very surreal, I eat that shit up).

The themes of a work do not decide it's quality, anon. There are many shitty books and films with "good" themes.

it is the worst lit meme. it is shitty. worse than even sanderson, who writes anime in book form.
I watched the whole thing and it might be cool if you are a no lifer teenager younger than 17.

iI got memed into watching it and since then I only shitpost.

and about OP's image:

[Anonymous No.18107375]

nge is superficial jap crap for teenagers. this is not a joke, anno specifically put in references to religion, philosophy, and psychoanalysis solely to make a point about teenagers being pretentious twats who won't grow up and obsessively nazel gaze. the fact actual adults are analyzing such themes in the first place is proof of anno's complete failure as an artist.

Them being presented in another context would competely change their reception. /lit/ keeps posting about how nge is "pretentious" and "fake-deep" but that's only because it's le japanese cartoon, they never present an actual critique of nge's themes

No, because NGE is incredibly juvenile, servile and cursory. It's method of storytelling is for dumb-dumbs who can't into subtext, the characters are very shallow, the story is nonsensical and made up mostly of filler and the fact it doesn't resonate with anyone above 20 should be a discouraging fact to most people.

Just compare it genuinely good Japanese animated films like Millenium Actress or Wind Rises, it's just pathetic in comparison.

This. Plus the only thing worse than NGE fanboys are NGE haters, your coping is somehow even more severe. In the context of 90s anime and to whom it was intended for, it's a good postmodern series with universal themes. Manage your expectations and don't just mindlessly hate it because you don't like the medium. Fine if you think there's better anime out there though.

100% true, but it's critical for it to be French literature in particular

Lit hates french novels.

Conversely, if any classic novels were dumbed down, MC turned into a effeminate 19 year old with tousled hair and all the other characters were turned into women that all wanted to have some sort of romantic relations with the MC, /a/ would masturbate all over that

No shit if you consider that NGE's themes would be elaborated, expounded and discussed in much greater depth by a poor underdog who went through WW1 than some fagime director who enjoyed Japan's economic prosperity in the late 20th-cent and still thrives on his series' brand name.

[Anonymous No.18108643]

Here's the thing, though: NGE isn't such a novel and it's not about those things.

[Anonymous No.18108681]

Oldfags will remember that early /lit/ used to praise A Song of Ice and Fire years ago, before it became mainstream.

So yeah. Context hugely matters to make /lit/ like or hate a work regardless of its inherent quality.

yeah.
post completely misses the point so it is as you say. dress it up differently and they would love it, because they can't into any depth to begin with. they assume everyone is like this. something is good for reasons other than a premise. never mind the premise being completely different and a novel being completely different to an anime.
