Why have some anime like melancholy of haruhi suzumiya, evangeleon, your name and serial experiment lain been made unnecessarily convoluted even when if they portrayed the anime in simpler way there would not be any change in quality?

its just like if any simpler anime explains a thing through 1 direct sentence. These anime use 3 indirect sentences for that.
Do the creators really think that if the viewers use their brain a little more and spend their time a little more to decode the anime that will get them better scores?

It would be pretty boring if every message was conveyed the same way, so I don't really mind convoluted ways of doing it, assuming it does make sense by the end of the series.
Who are you and why do you show your hostility towards a complete stranger whom you've not once spoken with before. Are you seriously asking to get blocked? Well, if that's what your intent is; to tempt me into throwing hands with someone as lowly and insignificant as you, then i may grant your wish provided you articulate yourself a bit better when trying to spite a person of my wavelength.

The thing with complex stories is that they are hard to do well, and after a while they just become confusing for no good reason.

Haruhi is not that complex if you know what to expect (the main arc is in the right order, the episodic stuff that chronologically happens later was just put inbetween) and the result definitely wouldn't have been the same (climax in the middle of the season vs climax at the end) -> bait thread made without putting much thought into it

It's true that technically it's not necessary to make them confusingly complex. It's perfectly possible to tell a deep story that anybody can understand. But I agree with @-Ryu that diversity is a good thing.

Same thing, the relationships between the characters are what matters the most in the show, and specifically that it's not easy to make major decisions in life

Shinkai's most vapid and empty movie by far. Generic romance and that's really it, nothing to write home about.

The only anime out of those four I could call "complex" to an extent, but in the end it represents how much power the Internet gives to the ordinary person.

entirely depends on what someones after!!

personally, the complexity matters a lot and a lot of straight forward feel good action animes arent for me. Lain, EVA, etc are intricate for a reason and i enjoy them down to their core. i love anything to do with heavy symbolism and multiple meanings/ways to interpret the story. this can be very difficult to do though, it has to be done well to work!!! the complexity has to be done with intention otherwise its messy and meanders on for no good reason.

If it's complex the way ergo proxy is complex, to name the first "complex" anime I can think of, then no, it's not better. Of those you mentioned your name hardly is complex though...is it?

I like complex things, though most things are really quite simple depending on the day. Though none of that really matters at the end of the day, things are only ever as complex as people want them to be anyway. Though usually people talk about finding meaning in things the adverse occurs quite often as well. Some people find value in complex things and some find such in simple things really depends on the person at the end of the day. The idea of things being simple seems to be the most attractive option to most people nowadays: "it's not that deep", "x is just y (and y is what I'm the most comfortable with)" whatever. Though this is more of a yes/no? thread more than anything, so maybe?

@R0NIT4RD Don't play silly mate. Your post is low-tier bait that a child could see for what it is.

Nobody considered Haruhi to be a particularly "complex" anime, same with Kimi no na wa. Evangelion is a case of serious misconception that boils down to missing the point of the show, but the series is more of a case of "work shaped by things the creator loved" rather than some overly complex work.
3/4 of the anime you mentioned are actually not complex in the slightest and they IMO do not represent "complex anime". Something like "Tenshi no Tamago" is an actually complex anime.

As for the question, I just like all kinds of shows. Simple and complex.

believe it or not it is actually posting something like this that makes a person look foolish, rather than anyone's particular taste in anime. it's amazing that you are so threatened by ambiguity, nonlinearity and abstraction (none of these works is actually particularly "complex") that you have to start raising suspicions about what the directors' motives are and shit like that. the anime are like that because they wanted to make them that way, and they thought it would BETTER convey what they wanted to convey, than if they just directly expressed the "facts" of the narrative to you like it's a driver's manual or a history book. there is not only one way to tell a story. it's not up to anyone in particular to decide what the "point" of anime is, or to decide for everyone that being direct is the best way to express any idea or feeling ever.

what's up with picasso? why would he paint stuff like this



when he could draw like this



was bro just trying to seem smart? trying to get higher scores on my art list dot com?
wouldn't a person actually get higher scores just by doing things the ordinary, easier to understand, popular way, like most popular artists do??? if being abstruse or experimental was the key to high ratings then why wouldn't everyone do it?

maybe it's because, just as in SEL the intention isn't merely to present the facts of a story, the intention of the above painting isn't merely to show a woman playing a mandolin. the style in and of itself affects how the viewer understands what they see.

No, not necessarily. It depends on the genre for instance action, comedies, or hentai do not need to be complex to be good, but something like space operas, mysteries or psychological thrillers benefit from it. I can enjoy both the simple and complex stuff.

Being too "complex" to the point where everything is some vague, cryptic, overly-contrived cipher that nobody understands in an attempt to be "deep" is also a thing though. Give me a key to go along with the cipher at least.

I agree that something being more complex doesn't not make it better and something being less complex doesn't make it bad. Its about personal taste first and foremost. I mean, just look at some of the things people consider art unironically. I don't know if your choices really prove your point though. Personally I didn't dislike Your Name and Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya because they were too complicated. I disliked them because Your Name wasn't that engaging for me, and because Haruhi was the worst character in her own series (imo). I don't think being a little more wordy is really the same as being more complex. If I were going that route, I'd use the Monogatari series or Occultic;Nine. Those shows are even more wordy and at times hard to keep up with, especially Occultic;Nine.

If complex is done well, it's a good way to create suspense and enhance feelings of development by giving the audience the clues in the order you want.

Complex is not the same as confusing and adding too many ambiguous elements, unreliable narrators and open endedness can turn complex into confusing.

Straight forward and simple stories can make a good plot, if there are other things that add interest. 'Redline' is very straightforward, but at the same time not the least bit boring.

@TRC_Randy 1. because why somebody use their brains in weird stuffs when they could have been shown in an easier way without any chaneg in quality.

2. Excecution quality? Its an even worse answer than what you said in the earlier reply. Who is talking about execution quality? the execution in those anime perfect. they are visually aesthetic and thought provoking. I am talking about the mid- incidents that happen there and how they start half assed from nowhere and then end it with an open ending.

3.You said that it would bring a change in quality in the story telling and now you are ignoring you said that.

4. Well thats one sided way of seeing it. There were definitely mny mysteries about who was L at first and then who were the other death note users. Just because its viewed from the point of light and that we already know he is kira does not mean that there is no other mystery in them. Death note was complex definitely but still we had to use out brains. That is good.

Depends on the execusion there are shows which had a more complex narrative and they were good while others tried too hard to be complex and they failed.Also while not everything need to be complex to be good there is nothing wrong with a show having a more complex narrative and demanding from the viewer to think some things by himself than giving them a spoon-fed answer. Btw Your Name was never complex if anything its the most basic romance ever.

People like different flavours for different reasons.

I enjoy reading the ocassional accelerationist writing, but it'd be torturous if that's all there was. In saying that, I can understand why less improvisational thinkers, and/or those who wind down with anime would want to avoid stories that lean towards obscurantism. Classical prose is great, so I'm on board with simple stories, simple words, simple phrases, because complex things aren't always needed. Aren't needed, but are appreciated by those interested in it.

Also, don't forget the atmosphere they're going for. It's different flavours after all.

@Isaiah- Well said, and very true. Complex things are good to the point of reaching the level of continuous extreme convolution and internal chaos, resulting in viewers not really knowing what's happening and basically trying to fill the gaps with their own headcanons, equally complicated theories (in a crazy way), instead of just admitting that this or that series, despite having huge potential, has failed as a show due to overly complicated structure affecting other elements, which in consequence has resulted in a pretentious show that's hollow inside.

Same criteria apply to simplicity. If something is simple, then it's perfectly fine... although, when a show tries so hard to be way more complex than it already is, or goes the other way and struggles to be even more primitive with each minute, then we have somewhat similar situation. Except the general audience likes to treat "complex, but kinda bad shows" as idols and kneel before them, while in the latter's case - to simply thrash those shows left and right, no matter if the critique is fair or not.

not as simple as "complex = good". There's actually more to it.

The story doesn't need to be complex to be good all the times. Sometimes a linear simple story can be good if it is executed well.

if you think Evangelion is good because of the """complexity""" you fundamentally misunderstand what people love about that series.

haruhi's complexity is a choice, you can watch it in order, or you can watch it like how it came out.

Lain is an artistic piece that is built around leaving things for interpretation and challenging the audience into reading into. shows like it, or sonny boy, are made for this very purpose. does that make them automatically better? no, does it make them worse? also no.

a show like platinum end also tries to be all deep and philosophical, but it fucking sucks.

and something like wonder egg not giving all the answers killed the show despite pretty much all the episodes being great on their own.




but the answer to your question is, no, complexity doesn't necessarily make something good. but it doesn't make it bad either.

The first slam dun and perfect blue are two movies that I recently gave a 10/10 to.

one is just a REALLY good basketball match with some well written backstories and character dynamics, and the other is a full on art house film with complexity in it's every part.


some stories benefit from complexity, some don't.

it just like everything else in writing, is a tool. you have to use it in a way that makes the story gain something from it. it has to be done well.

so....

the correct yet boring answer is.

if it's done well, it's good, if not, it's bad.

because why somebody use their brains in weird stuffs when they could have been shown in an easier way without any chaneg in quality.
bruh you didn't answer my question. I asked WHY must it be mystery anime. Saying "weird stuff should not require brains" doesn't explain shit.

R0NIT4RD said:
Who is talking about execution quality?
well you said
R0NIT4RD said:
the way of portrayal of stuffs
which translates "execution".

R0NIT4RD said:
I am talking about the mid- incidents that happen there and how they start half assed from nowhere and then end it with an open ending.
in what way did those mid- incidents start half assed from nowhere?

R0NIT4RD said:
You said that it would bring a change in quality in the story telling and now you are ignoring you said that.
no, that's what YOU said
R0NIT4RD said:
Good story telling means complex??? i did not know that.
which i never meant it that way. So if you ask me; is complex storytelling in and of itself a good thing? No it is not. It's only good when it makes sense for example when you deduce the point of that complexity + link them altogether conveying some major point(s). That's what i meant when i said
TRC_Randy said:
I mean you oughta use your little brain once in a while right.
not as simple as "complex = good". There's actually more to it.

R0NIT4RD said:
does not mean that there is no other mystery in them.
which I NEVER SAID "there's no mystery in DN". The point is Higurashi's MUCH MORE of a "mystery" than DN is so your complaint on it is invalid.

@TRC_Randy i need to mention it separately?? well me not suggesting to use brains in weird stuffs means we should use our brains in mysterious things. But the thing i mentioned are not even close to mysterious.

2. No....

3. Execution is the overall showcasing of the story. The story does not change and its upto the producers how they will make it. Will they add two extra scenes? or will they make it aesthetic and all. I am not even talking about that. I am rooting to the molecular level: the story itself.

4. That is what happens and makes them convoluted. SEL and ergo proxy are the best in this. They cross limits. They start anywhere and end anywhere and later flex on the fact that they made an anime with open ending.

5. Just see the 32th reply of yours.

6. And I am not even talking about that. Why do you think i did not bring anime like perfect blue and paprika??? Point me out where i said that complex anime are not good . I have always mentioned unnecessarily convoluted ones.

7. There sure is more to it. That is what i am trying to point out. If anime was that simple then i would have rather rated every anime 10.

8. Bro you clearly said " Death note is psychological not mystery." Just look at your post.. Also what do you mean higurashi is only mystery??


Welp..

Evangelion was definitely out their when I first watched it but I've grown to appreciate it and the End of Evangelion film. Personally it's can be sought of hit and miss sometimes it really works and can improve the narrative of a show look at LOTGH it's very complex but that adds to the show on the other hand Thier are shows which i watched that i didnt appreciate the messy complexity such as Ergo Proxy (do want to rewatch to see if I might have miss judged it) but i found it overally strange like the characters seemed to never understand what's going on.

This is for you Lady Haman!

If complex narrative is well done Like Eva , they provide a very rewarding watching expereince for me..When I think about complexity and find the well thought out meaning behind it, This provides me with a great satisfaction..

So yea, I kinda love these well done complex narratives that demands more of my attention and wants me to invest my time in it...



Btw Your Name is definately one of those well done complex narrative, its a very unrewarding and shallow mess...The more you think the more plotholes and ametureish narrative mistakes you will find.

That's nothing more than the drivel of wannabe critics and intellectuals. A show doesn't always have to be convoluted to be enjoyable. Maybe that's the case for some people. But not everyone.

short answer: no.
long answer: good=good. it has nothing to do with complexity (or enjoyability for that matter)

some notes worth mentioning: of the titles you mentioned only your name is made with the intention of being hard to understand, the rest is on you mate:) (the eva movies are too but I doubt you were talking about those)
making use of more than 2 brain cells at a time is healthy and an indicator of having the minimum cognitive function for an individual to be called human. i know in 2023 we can be anything we want (for whatever reason) but I'm gonna take a wild guess and say most people would prefer to be called human. (also, you subconsciously engage yourself with a show when you think about it which is good news all around)
and lastly, where is dubai? the place where people are divided into princes and bugs or am i thinking of another middle-east hell hole?
