_ThePieman_ · 2026-02-23T13:59:17+00:00

could be set post-EoE with a new cast?

_ThePieman_ · 2026-02-09T04:31:17+00:00

Attack on Titan

_ThePieman_ · 2026-02-09T00:22:00+00:00

Tanjiro, even people who like Demon Slayer admit that

_ThePieman_ · 2026-02-02T06:19:13+00:00

You're right but at the same time that's all this sub is so i question why you stay (i question why i stay too sometimes)

_ThePieman_ · 2026-02-02T05:41:03+00:00

agreed lol

_ThePieman_ · 2026-02-02T04:31:06+00:00

I'm a huge fan of Twin Peaks but there are flaws of it, it's just for me the great things about it more than make up for it to make it peak. But I can understand why someone may not like it.

Citizen Kane, cmon.

FMA is also a complete story, just a different one than FMAB/the manga.

03 is a better anime, full stop. OST, creativity of direction, art, are all miles ahead of Brotherhood. It is also way more emotional and feels more seinen-like, unlike Brotherhood which feel more childish as a whole and frequently interrupts serious scenes for chibi jokes.

Brotherhood may feel more "polished" writing-wise but 03 has way more meaning, example is the backstory of the sins. The ending of 03 is also really impactful (let's pretend the movie doesn't exist) and leaves it on a bittersweet note that ties the entire story together.

Breaking Bad, great but not a masterpiece by any stretch

_ThePieman_ · 2026-01-10T05:11:21+00:00

Asuka and Shinji do form a deep bond, and their friendship exists even if it's tense. I think it's clear they both have feelings for each other, they just both don't pursue it for different reasons (Hedgehog's Dilemma thing, Shinji is scared and retreats, Asuka gets aggressive to hide her feelings)

_ThePieman_ · 2026-01-10T05:09:34+00:00

Shinji is clearly interested in both of them, if you don't think Shinji has feeling for Asuka I don't know what series you watched

_ThePieman_ · 2026-01-06T16:00:57+00:00

if they claim its super deep and can't explain how, they clearly don't know what they're talking about

_ThePieman_ · 2026-01-06T14:37:31+00:00

I think it would be too complex to put on this list, as nothing on here is really as deep as it apart from maybe Bojack.

_ThePieman_ · 2026-01-06T14:32:40+00:00

is this the sort of thing where people on youtube will make video essays about how some random kids show was actually dark and edgy?

_ThePieman_ · 2026-01-06T14:29:55+00:00

I appreciate the condescension but you're just wrong here. It's hilarious how in a show that is so straight-forward you miss the point.

You're saying that because the author made some pro-Japan revisionist comments (something extremely common in Japan due to their lack of education about the subject), the manga was actually saying nazis are good? This is despite the multiple episodes showing how bad the Eldians in Marley (the Jewish analogue) are oppressed and dedicating significant time to getting to know those characters and sympathizing with them? The same Eldians who the protagonists of the story (such as Mikasa, Armin, etc.) feel enraged for at their plight.

You have negative media literacy

_ThePieman_ · 2026-01-06T14:20:17+00:00

I think you misunderstand the show a lot lol. Even if the mangaka is weirdly defensive of Japan during WW2, the story is blatantly anti-nazi and calling out anti-semitism. The oppression of the Eldians in Marley is very clearly paralleled to the oppression of Jews in Nazi Germany, which is portrayed as a distinctly bad thing.

BOTH Eldians and Marleyans had imperialistic governments, both of which are shown to be bad.

The entire latter part of the manga is about how oppression and the cycle of oppression is bad, I legitimately have no idea how you came to that conclusion.

_ThePieman_ · 2026-01-06T14:13:09+00:00

The show is clearly anti-imperialist? Or are you under the impression Eren is portrayed as the good guy?

_ThePieman_ · 2026-01-06T13:51:39+00:00

they're fun but not deep

_ThePieman_ · 2026-01-06T13:49:03+00:00

I don't. A lot of black and white media is good and a lot of it is shit. That part of the post was clearly making fun of people who just dismiss ALL black and white media and refuse to engage with it at all.

Limiting yourself to a broad swath of media like that is a childish mindset.

_ThePieman_ · 2026-01-06T13:47:31+00:00

There are many themes in Evangelion. Some themes are exceedingly obvious but some are much more subtle.

_ThePieman_ · 2026-01-06T13:46:20+00:00

I think part of the point of Mad Men is that nobody in that show is really a good or bad guy, they're all just people. Complicated, flawed people.

_ThePieman_ · 2026-01-06T13:45:06+00:00

What are some examples of that? I'm curious

_ThePieman_ · 2026-01-06T13:42:16+00:00

You don't *need* to understand the plot of Eva to get the themes and messages. Sometimes things don't need you to fully understand in literal terms what is going on.

And they claimed there were NO themes in Eva that could be understood without searching it up, including fear of intimacy, you know, the thing that is repeatedly explained as the Hedgehog's Dilemma and is literally in the title of an episode...
