@WeaponArchitect I enjoyed it well enough as well, but 10 is still wild to me haha. the fact that content was cut isn't so much the problem for me as it is the effect it had on the story being a pretty disjointed mess. definitely some iconic parts in the movie, but as a whole it's disappointing, especially considering its reputation.

Just because the tides turned and now formerly more "hardcore" shows are suddenly entry level doesn't mean elitists will vanish. I certainly wouldn't say old anime in general are mainstream either, just a cherry-picked selection that appeals to a very specific demographic, there's countless of older anime that get next to no discussion these days, and I don't see the mainstream casual audiences flocking to them anytime soon. Elitists do exist still, they just have a different form now due to the anime climate being so drastically different than what it once was. I would say that modern elitists though are fine, people who pretend to like anime are annoying as heck, and if you dislike those kinds of people you're immediately labeled as "elitist" by some. In the past elitists were mean about having "superior" tastes, now they just want people to actually respect the medium, and I honestly see no issue with this myself.

@lezbuns The Game industry is more well respected than anime currently, both critically and commercially. Anime doesn't have any professional critics in its circles so its the wild west as far as medium goes.
@minzera lmao, no, Western games are respected cuz they r for bro gamers who like the male gaze capitalism so much they're oblivious to how 99% of 'AAA' titles don't have a female main character by default. Tell someone you like the Japanese games from the 2000s - around when these so-called 'pretentious' anime are from - and they will call you a nerd.
You're going down, punk...

Every subsection of anything has elitism. Ask wood workers and they complain about people using the wrong type of wood.

Media elitism is always the worst though, it's literally just consuming fictionlike who cares about anything revolving that, yknow?
