| Neon Genesis Evangelion, Serial Experiments Lain, Ghost in the Shell, Cowboy Bebop, Akira, The Tatami Galaxy, Mushishi, Mononoke, Legend of the Galactic Heroes etc... |
| According to Thatanimesnob, pretty much anything that isn’t anime |
| Neon Genesis Evangelion, anyone who watches that show is a cringy elitist wannabe |
-insert NGE meme here- |
| Good stuff, that's about it. |
 |
| Probably some anime/manga that most people have never heard of. The type of people where all their favorites are these collection of series that have only a couple thousand user ratings. |
 |
| anime elitists do not exist, different tastes do though |
| Stop using this buzzwords....peoples have different taste, and different standrards.. |
| Every elitist have different taste, so it hard to point to exact shows. For example I've seen someone who lashes tones of praise on Berserk, Parasyte and Monster in one breath and then shit on Legend of the Galactic Heroes and Madoka Magica in the next. And the argument presented was the later two shows are 'fake smart' or 'pretentious', and thus are not really elitist shows. Failing to realise these points could be applied to the former shows also. I think elitism is a mind set, more than a specific set of shows. I will say newer shows don't get added to the list much till they get a little older - I think it because elitist generally are older anime fans who stick around after the honey moon period and have 'refined' their taste and thus what they were watching as newer fans and still do like becomes what they view as the Avant Garde of anime taste.  But who knows I could be dead wrong. |
Sometimes it takes a real man to be best girl. Gilgamesh is also chad.   |
| Rapidly losing brain cells reading this thread. First of all there are no elitists, just kids, second, people have different tastes. If someone tries to portray themselves as superior for liking x anime over y anime, then they're just immature and insecure (probably need something for validating themselves with lul). And if anyone believes that they're some sophisticated intellectual for liking certain anime - that's super cringe. |
silversaint said: i think the holly trinity is Serial Experiments Lain, Texhnolyze and Ergo Proxy Pretty much, but in Ergo Proxys case it´s SO prententious that it comes back around again and actually becomes kind of a rule-of-cool type of show, at least in my view. |

logopolis said: Oznerol7 said: Examples of the ladder would obviously also include LotGH, i wonder why you left it out[/font] I've never tried it because of what I've heard, but it's a "great man theory of history" anime isn't it? One where the author thinks that the course of human (or whatever) civilisation is shaped by the decisions of a few highly privileged great people, rather than by what all the people who would never have a news report written about them do. That would make it diametrically opposed to the actual good stuff. Any competent elitist should focus on stories where the system is the problem. Yesn't. It's defenitely an idealistic (in a hegelian/philosophical sense) show where "individual people makes history" but not just about "the powerful" making It but individual people in general (there Is a specific scene that would explain better what i mean but would be spoiler). Btw It's pretty funny how the description you gave Is the ACTUAL definition of elitism (politically/philosphically) as opposed to the made up MAL definition |

| What even constitutes an anime elitist? I mean I guess there are those people who like to go around screeching about how everything is horrible or "mid" except the three or four big-name shounen they consider great. I do see quite a bit of that. Either that or you get the people that just automatically hate anything that gets popular and overhyped, but I'm not sure those people actually like anything other than complaining. |
| True elitists don't like anime, you'll see them with no list of favourites or a completely random and ironical list, while they trash on everything because ''anime is inherently garbage''. |

Lol wtf has "incel" to do with any of it besides throwing another random buzzword in the mix as a treat |
| Why do people associate elitism with taste instead of attitude? You can like the most mainstream shit imaginable, but if you're an asshole about it and believe you're superior to everyone else for liking those things, then you're being an elitist just like the pseuds who think they're more intellectual than the rest of the community because they have LOGH or Lain in their favorites. |
| 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. |

Elfen Lied is good psychological anime with compelling characters, but it is not really that deep to earn 9 from me. It is still a very good show that very enjoyable. Also Elfen Lied does not really tries hard to be very deep or anything like it. However it is good at what it tries to achieve. |

| Deep, intelectual shows you damned plebs are too stupid to understand, providing deep abstract meanings that only true cultured brains can understand like Neon Genesis Evangelion, Serial Experiments Lain, Texnolyze, LOGTH, Berserk, FLCL, Welcome to the NHK, Kaiji and Monster... Of course this comment is a joke but Ive experienced enough elitists who give some genuinly good shows low ratings over stupid reasons to know that's how they actually act. |
 |
| good shows with excellent plot and characters as opposed to shonen trash for 7 year olds or another seasonal isekai |
| I think elitists like a lot of shows that are experimental and "in depth," but there are other elitists that just straight up hate anime in general. |

 |
| Elitists can be easily identified by having LOGH in favourites, mean score below 5,5/10 and "everyone is wrong but me" attitude. In extreme cases they even have LOGH in profile picture. Those people just love to sniff their own farts. |
 |
| Nothing. Elitists aren't a unified group with one unified list of what shows they like, they exist in all sorts of forms with different tastes. In fact, I'd say the most common type of elitists are the ones who are elitist about how "normal" their taste is and who shit on anyone who likes a show they consider too "pretentious", which they consider proof they are worse than them for "just wanting to look smart". |
