Renowned by the world my dude. Kurosawa is one of the most important and influential filmmakers in the history of cinema, go ahead and google "most important filmmakers in history" and you'll find Akira Kurosawa's name in any single list or article on the matter.

That's cool and all, I just see no reason to actually consider any of those articles an authority on this subject, when I only watched 3 of their movies and liked none.

I thought you'd said you'd never heard of him, and now you say you've seen 3 of his films? Well, regardless of your personal opinion on his films he is still one of the most renowned filmmakers who won a shit ton of awards for his films and one of the most influential filmmakers who influenced directors from Sergio Leone to Quintin Tarantino.

Right, so you weren't even referring to Kurosawa films. Well watching only 3 films from 2 directors, that have made shit tons of films, out of a list of numerous other directors who are considered globally as the world's most important and influential directors hardly makes you an expert in being able to judge who are the most important and influential directors. You're kinda outta your depth here kid.

Evangelion is extremely pretentious .
AOT is probably the most overrated anime ever
People who mostly watch  mainstream shounen have no taste.
Rent-a-girlfriend gets unnecessary hate just because MC is wimpy.
Aldnoah Zero season 2 was better than season 1 
Your lie in april  , Silent Voice , Anohana aren't depressing. I watched them with stone face lol
Fate /stay night (2006) is best part of the series
Redo of Healer plot is quite interesting

Unfortunately, my hot take would also fall under rant.
Anime does an effing asinine job portraying the average Japanese introvert.

Nothing can convince me their creators do not do this on purpose, as an insult.
Never have I ever seen anyone in Japan not help another person in need, let alone when in danger.

Even the most silent person in a crowd does not freeze when seeing injustice nor do they have a mental breakdown and argue to themselves about helping.
Neither do they pretend to not see the injured and walk on by.

Some of it might make sense in the United States, especially when people run from an active shooter.
But even in this scenario, anyone able to call the authorities will and the same goes for the Japanese, who are not a gun culture ...
I wonder why, since I cant imagine many animators being extroverted themselves so why would they do that to introverted characters unless thats how they think theyd react (not that they would, im thinking more of a self-image thing) also I guess it depends on the anime, I'm sure there are anime that show introverts in a more realistic way.

I don't actually care if they made good movies or not, proving that I have a trash taste was just how you wanted to steer the conversation.
But I can totally reject your elitist view of who is the most influential, based on what some random Google search results say about authors whose works didn't hold up well enough to have a mainstream appeal on their own.

- Monster is an absolute piece of trash which is an insult to psychological anime, and Johan isn't a good manipulator since most of the time we don't even see him doing his manipulations.

- I don't know if this is spicy but Evangelion never gets confusing, people just are unable to grasp some things if they aren't explained like if they were babies.

- Konosuba is a far better isekai deconstruction than Re:Zero can ever hope to be.

- Kanojo Okarishimasu is a far better romcom than Kaguya-sama and Sono Bisque Doll.

Finally someone agrees with me. It's just 3-4 boring stories interleaved for no reason, beyond confusing the viewer.
Durarara actually made use of showing things in a weird way, but not Baccano.

Some anime Dubs are way better then the sub

It's rare for Japanese authors to write a decent ending, I heard the reason for this in some forums but It still really upsets me that most of the time when I watch/read a series the I know the ending will be "meh".

The peak of Naruto (from Sasuke vs Deidara fight untill Pain Invasion) is actually the best part not only in Naruto but in general when it comes to the big 3 with One Piece's Impeal Down-marineford close second.

Man, I'm not steering the conversation you're just in the minority opinion when it comes to films dude. And it is wild you don't realize that these films have mainstream success lol. Like Seven Samurai was ripped off by the magnificent Seven which then got a remake and also seven samurai has an anime based on it (though it differs loads since it's an anime lol). It's also not elitist to state what is considered influential and important by consensus. Like, you could say you don't like Black Sabbath but it wouldn't take away from the fact that they are widely considered one of the most important and influential bands in metal.

I specifically said that they don't have a mainstream appeal now.
Or like Tolkien is relevant since they made some decent movies from lotr, even though the books themselves are borderline illegible.
Anyway, this conversation was exceptionally derailed just from me saying that Monster was kinda bad.

- Anime aimed at kids is often much more mature and handless their child characters as actual characters.
- Anime dramas are usually boring af, and don't get me started on romance
- Anime girls aren't cute, and neither are boys or even mascots for that matter. Characters that are pushed to viewer as cute to sell merch are 100% just annoying
- "Anime art style" peaked in the 60's and 70's
- Sci-fi genre in anime isn't in that bad state
- Fantasy genre is absolutely in ruins thanks to current trends
- ~24 minute lenght episode isn't always the best option
- Shitty dubs can add entertainment value so I have no hate towards them <3

I agree with Kirito being a decent character, Saber is indeed overrated, more girls with abs and more reverse traps.

Vehemently disagree with everything else.

This is the best one I felt, sexy takes. A part of storytelling is being able to conveying your ideas properly. So when you say people need to be explained like babies, it's more like people need to be explained. That's it.


One piece is overrated. It is a decent story but because people have been invested in the manga for way too long, even decent things stand out to them.
Isekai for the brain, CGDCT for the heart
Yuri for the pain and seiyuus for the soul.

Fate/Apocrypha Gifs 52 | Anime Amino

Characters were more impactful and the story didn't ground down in pointless slaughter of tertiary characters.

Pokemon is one of the worst anime that you can show to your kids and is extremely tiring to watch as an adult. Show them Shaman King, Doraemon or Ninja Hattori or something along those lines, just not Pokemon.

This person's take on FMA, also same goes for HxH, but I have seen neither in well over a decade, so take this with a grain of salt.
The Vision of Escaflowne is arguably the best isekai series to be made.
Warau Salesman succeeds at creating a dark urban atmosphere, where Death Note fails (seriously, Death Note just created Newark, New Jersey and misnamed it Tokyo, that is all).
The phrase "Naruto fan" and "Bleach fan" are great insults, but are very low brow. (Neither are all that terrible).
Saint Seiya should have stayed 2D and animated. The Netflix version borders on unwatchable because of the rewriting and the live-action one looks like Dragon Ball: Evolution 2: Electric Boogaloo.
China has surpassed Japan in writing and animating, especially when it comes to CGI.

I think so "tanjiro is unique"is a hot take.

Regarding the Post.

Also people who think that people who enjoy analysing anime deeply or demand better stories then false hype are just for show off are dumasses

Because they can't tackle their points and then go on ranting enjoyment and blah blah blah

For everyone enjoyment comes from different aspects so to look down on someone Just makes you born from a gangbang.
