What's the most pretentious anime you've seen?

how is fma pretentious

I think Monster is the most pretentious anime ever made. I thoroughly enjoyed Casshern Sins though.

One Piece

Dragon Ball Z

i don't like flcl, but it did have a neat artstyle

i really liked casshern sins

AICO easily. Lots of waxing about who’s the real Aiko, ethics of meat experiments or something. I barely remember the specifics at this point but it was a show truly up its ass trying to make sweeping points about humanity and science but it was so disjointed nothing stuck.

i have this listed as watched but i don't remember anything about it, or even watching it

That one section of Genius Party that's just some dude blabbering on about God or whatever.

I'm going to say FLCL. People can talk about the grade school level allegories being "genius" all they want, but at the end of the day it was just random things happening randomly. Like an extended music video for The Pillows. The only reason the original gets a pass over those awful sequels is because of nostalgia.

I only remember that the male MC/guy- you-would-assume-to-be-the-male-love-interest was revealed to be some old-ass doctor dude that stole some teen's bod for the sake of eradicating MEAT CITY.

Trigger's best scenes/episodes are always sports related. They should just make a fucking sports anime already.

The sequels also weren't made by a fanservice hating male feminist. Don't get me started on Demarco.

You didnt get it.

Aot? What lmao it doesn’t try to be deep it’s literally a shounen know for its plot twists and such.

I love both FLCL and Kaiba and there’s nothing you can do to stop me.

I unironically enjoyed the mecha battle in the last half of Kaiba.

Definitely not Kaiba you shit-tasted faggot

EVA, but I mostly watch SoL moe garbage

Definitely Lain. Not that it was bad, but it oozed pretentiousness.

Your favorite anime

You are talking out of your ass.

This is the saddest attempt of falseflag I've seen.

Japanese people are some of the least pretentious people on the planet. They have an extremely modest culture. Truly pretentious anime are extremely rare. There's only 2-3 in total. If you want to see REAL pretentious, watch western films

Mainstream western films are too shallow to be pretentious.

Aw, you gonna cwy? You gonna cwy becwause someone mocked your favorite show?

Even pretentious western films are shallow when compared to any above average isekai. What is your point?

^retard

None of you know what pretentious even means.
What a shit thread.

if movies count, even though I liked it:
>Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence

>You gonna cwy becwause someone mocked your favorite show?
Nice job proving you called shit pretentious just to get a reaction, retard.

Everything not by Studio Trigger

Well not literally every western film is gonna be pretentious. Directors know their audience and that's why the term oscar bait exists in the cinema community.

Why do low IQ midwits think FLCL is random and over the top?

I've started Casshern threads before. It's always the same conclusion.

Tatami Galaxy

It's the typical cope.

It mostly is just a big dick wagging anime for the studio to flex it's abilities. This means they also threw in some subtext and worked with atmosphere and symbolism to show that they're not "just great animation" either. They wanted a short, all-around maximum tweaked anime and they delivered mostly.
Now you've got contrarians refusing to accept it's merits because they met a fat retard who likes it.

I like Casshern sins because it has beautiful art and atmosphere but yeah it's pretentious as fuck.
The entire run is robots fearing the death that humans were born with since day 1 and being unable to cope in spite of claiming they're superior to humans in every way.

But they stretch that out so fucking much and repeatedly lob that idea into your face like a baseball so many times I keep rolling my eyes and saying "yeah I get it' every single episode.
