I agree that Ghost Stories is great. The dub is a wonderful, irreverent comedy anime.

That's kinda the point, though. NGE isn't a mecha anime with psychological themes; its a psychological anime set in a mecha world. Also, everyone IRL is fucked up in some way or another. Yikes. Higurashi should not be a harem anime. The only girls that are ever romantically into Keiichi are...

... have you read the manga? Yes, but: #1: In reality 1 Yuno believed she would be able to resurrect anyone she wanted. She's completely shocked when she becomes god and can't resurrect Yuki. #2: In reality 2 Yuno is depressed because she realizes either she or Yuki has to die for the world...

... Using that art style for horror was done well before Elden Lied, and adult shows using standard anime art styles is... standard. Daily reminder that anime has a huge adult audience in Japan, and the art styles of adult oriented anime are usually not too far from the art style of regular...

Not even exaggerating. Every thing you said of what I quoted was wrong. NGE doesn't suck, and it absolutely isn't something any sane person would recommend as someone's second or third anime. I don't think I would recommend it as someone's 10th anime. No, Elfen Lied is not infamous...

I don't blame much of it on budget. If the show had been truly well written, animation would have mattered much less. Having said that, bad story or not, I think having decent animation would've helped the project. At the very least it wouldn't have been an embarrassment. I'd hate to be the exec...

It works for some shows, like Gravity Falls or The Amazing World of Gumball, but both of those feel very... parodic. I don't think their art style would work for an action show or a more serious kids show like the original Teen Titan or ATLA. Also look at the High Guardian Spice trailer and...

A serious problem was that High Guardian Spice was made by a Western animation company with a budget of an average low budget anime. The problem with that is that Japanese animation studios are generally masters of cost controls. American animation studios are not. So they had to produce a...

I saw reviews mocking High Guardian Spice. They were fun to watch cause there's clearly a lot to mock there. I think Crunchyroll & Funimation are wasting their time spending money to create any "American" anime. To be honest, the whole reason I consume Japanese media primarily is because I...

In what sense? Quite frankly I'll take Worm over A Song of Ice and Fire any day. Unless you're speaker purely in terms of prose and (maybe) editing, I strongly disagree. G R R Martin is quite explicit about his inspiration coming from the Lord of the Rings.

ASOIAF and Worm aren't really comparable. I'm not sure I'd consider either of them truly misanthropic. Both of them have strong anti-traditional-authority themes, which is consistent with modern Western fiction. ASOIAF is, thematically, a more 'realistic' and much less subtle take on the Lord...

Attack on Titan's ending.
