Maybe your favorite anime is "obscure" because it's objectively a poorly written mess?

If there’s any anime that warrants being called “pretentious”, it’s Lain without any doubt

You don't seem to understand...

No, pretentious would be the author claiming there was some objective point to the show and that it made perfect sense.

You gotta be a special type of retard to think Lain is obscure in any way.

Why are Americans so positive about everything even if it's bad? If it's a poorly written mess then it's 3/10

Texhnolyze warrants it more.

>Obscure

lol

malice@doll is superior

There's that buzzword nobody understands the meaning of again; one step closer to calling every anime under the sun pretentious. Congratulations, you got the attention you wanted

Stopped watching this during the recap episode with the 1 string guitar

"pretentious" is a substanceless buzzword word used by people with the brain power of a cheese grater who have no ability to actually articulate criticism. or maybe you can but you can't put your fucking phone down so everything seems meaningless to you

Based

fuck all the contrarians

Nigger

I used to think like you until I spoke with normalfags who claim to "like anime"

>le bad writing meme
I love this because you can ignore anyone who says it. This "criticism" means nothing and they never EVER elaborate.

Neither of these shows are pretentious. Pretentious doesn't mean "show I don't like".
An actual pretentious show would be Ergo Proxy, a show that's full of random symbolism and literary allusions, as well as namedropping philosophers despite none of these things having anything to actually do with the story being told and were intentionally put there to look smarter than it actually is.
Or Evangelion, which is full of religious symbolism. when Anno admits that the religious symbolism is meaningless and was just there to look cool since it's foreign and complex to Japanese audiences.

Lain is highly rated and critically acclaimed. In what dimension is Lain remotely obscure? You want obscure? Key the Metal Idol.

>key
>obscure
Do you also think fucking Argento Soma is obscure?
This board is worse than /m/

i never really watched eva. what makes it psuedo-intellectual garabge?

He got filtered

Yes, Argento Soma is obscure as well. Do you not know what obscure means? Or are you one of those people who unironically thinks something has to be Birth-tier or Nineteen 19-tier to be obscure?

>argento soma
>obscure
This board is so dead
