How do you define SOUL?

is it the artstyle?
the color palette?
the memories from it?
or just pink nostalgia goggles?

It's an abstract thing a person who doesn't suffer from autism simply understands. With that being said, most anime made between '85 and '95 are soulless crap.

Soul is what the thing I like has and the thing I don't like doesn't have

Incorrect
see

soul is passion. it's hard to explain, but it's like when you can tell that the person who was making it did it purely out of passion. it's super autistic and doesn't even matter, but shit like ZUN's art or the higurashi art are pretty soulful
the re:zero web novel is unironically soulful too

I agree. Besides the bottom picture is much better.

ZUN art sucks and has none of that soul crap. Touhoufags are delusional as always.

i know that ZUN's art is shit, but if you don't understand what i'm saying now you never will
soul is pretty meaningless anyways

soul is what sparks JOY

Arousal because I'm reminded of those Saber Marionette J doujinshi?

It's just a buzzword user, but I just define as how much passion the studio put into making it. Fuck SOUL posters.

>What soul actually means
Nothing
>What soul could mean
Personal, non-corporate passion and genuine effort
>What people say soul means
Bad animation (from the 1980s and 1990s)
Embarrassing production mistakes (from the 1980s and 1990s)
Cheap shortcuts (from the 1980s and 1990s)
Literal slideshows (from the 1980s and 1990s)

Nothing says SOUL more than an overworked animator (in the 1980s and 1990s) sliding a non-animated cel (in the 1980s and 1990s) across the screen when the character's supposed to be running, because the studio (in the 1980s and the 1990s) needs to meet a deadline (in the 1980s and the 1990s), and then fucking up the cel layering anyways (in the 1980s and 1990s) but airing it on TV regardless (in the 1980s and 1990s)
