There's maybe 100 anime OVA's/TV series/movies worth watching.
Everything else is trash. The planets have to align for an anime with really good animation, decent writing and good music to exist. The majority of anime has terrible animation and writing, absolutely garbage. Even the peak of anime animation is rarely well written. For every 1995 Ghost in the Shell there's 1000 cheaply animated, poorly written pieces of garbage.
Cool story bro
While I agree, odds are you're too retarded to spot the genuinely impressive works yourself. People who talk like you tend to not be particularly intelligent, let alone possess the mental capicity to even analyse why something is good unless they can look at some MAL review in advance.
>There's maybe 100 anime OVA's/TV series/movies worth watching.
List them.
>1995 GitS
Epic naked woman spinning around for minutes set to a granny singing stereotypical ching-chong wailing. Truly this is respectable entertainment and not just porn masquerading through pretentious monologues.
I can name 200 10/10 anime.
None of them are slice of life/moeshit
No, you can't
>I agree
The rest of what you wrote is irrelevant and pathetic whining
True
Poorly described the opening which is brilliant and you base the whole movie on that
doubt
The best course of action is to watch whatever you feel like watching.
The devil is right. Fuck you and your bait thread.
>pathetic whining
Be that as it may, I've seen north of 3000 anime and vast majority is utterly forgettable. Unfortunately, western anime fandom has such horrendous taste, you're forced to watch thousands to find the good stuff hardly anyone has ever talked about.

Like?
Like, you know, dozen's of movies. Western anime fandom barely watches anything but seasonal or poorly produced television shows. Sure, niche movies pop up on rec charts, but said rec charts usually consist of hundreds of films. Not a particularly narrow set of solid works to choose from. More like a dump for anything with a notable quality of its own. Solid example being the Doraemon and Shin-Chan movies, all of which are more or less ignored by 99% of western anime fandom. And while most of those are complete trash, there certainly are a few gems worth watching. Peter Pan no Bouken is a good example for a tv anime. Essentially unheard of among western anime fans, yet easily the most creative of the WMT.

I'll bet anything that if you gave us this list of yours, it'd be filled with shows with stupid drama and nonsensical plots because you'll eat up anything that makes you feel "mature" (because your day-to-day life sure doesn't). You don't really have an appreciate for good characters and settings.
>There's maybe X things worth watching..
>Everything else is trash. The planets have to align for a thing to be good. The majority of a thing is garbage. Even a good thing is rarely perfect. For every good thing there's 1000 poor things.
What a novel and insightful commentary.
wrong
Would you mind elaborating further as to why 1995 GiTS is so good?
>None of them are slice of life/moeshit
opinion discarded.
>moeshit
Everytime
Agree in part. If you watch 10 shows at random, perhaps half are viewable, 3 enjoyable, and 1 worthwhile / memorable. So if you've seen a 1000, then there's around 100 that you can say you truly enjoyed, regardless the ratings.
Yeah, he's not wrong, he's just making a futile argument.
Good characters can exist within stories that have compelling plots. Even if you like slice of life moeshit you have to admit most of it doesn’t have very good characters compared to regurgitating archetypes and many lack compelling settings too.
1995 GitS is slightly overrated; it’s still good but it’s impact is partially a matter of the time period where it debuted. At the time it was presenting concepts that were genuinely new to audiences of the time. By all means watch it an enjoy yourself but don’t feel bad if you aren’t wowed by it.
Oshii is for teens.

Amusingly, that applies to virtually all well-received shows that have aired in the past 30 years. The Japs really love doing concepts to death to the point where the "original" show seems stale.
that entirely depends on a person's taste.
I miss the Yas Forums recommends images, it made me save hours upon hours of watching shit
Some one say bring it back in celebration of Corona-Chan
>Truly this is respectable entertainment and not just porn masquerading through pretentious monologues.
We're talking about anime, not VNs
But most of the series on those were more for people new to anime
>moeshit
Imagine hating moe on Yas Forums.
yep, but there is a lot of anime between 2010 and 2020 not covered by those
>inb4
It's funny how all the shows recommended to newcomers are shining examples or the genre or the very pinnacle of them.
Lists just sift the derivatives from the actual good shit.
I don't understand why people shit on lists, they just seem jealous people getting into the medium can take a fast track to the stuff worth a fuck unlike them who needed to wade through shitty shows, upon shitty shows until they struck gold.
Rec charts died off a couple of years ago. Yas Forums is nowhere near as elitist as it used to be.
Good thing that's a lot more good manga than that. Shame that anime is such a shitty medium.
These are the only anime I've seen.
100 is generous. Time keeps it a constant stream of ~30 at any time.
There might be 1 or 2 shows that I actually enjoyed from those charts. Some of them are heavily biased towards 2000-2010
The issue is that people's tastes aren't all identical. Just because someone made a list with things they consider the best shit doesn't mean everyone that reads that list is going to like everything the same. Not to mention that so many of the things that are considered "the best" seem to be just aping things from cinema or literature that were done years or decades before. Even if something isn't the best it could still have the right combinations of things to appeal to any given person.
