/lit/ - Literature

>japanese animated star wars rip-off

surely.

>star wars rip-off
You might want to delete this.

It's either that series or this one.

No, The Tatami Galaxy is.

This is /lit/: the anime

>>10738375
no. that would be "Read Or Die".

>>10738375
>star wars rip off
closer to Dune

the only actual answer

>>10738375
there is no /lit/ anime

>>10738375
The expansive world, attention to detail and the meticulous depiction of different socio-economic classes living in the FPA and Galactic Empire alike remind me of War and Peace. The show great if you appreciate a grand narrative carried mainly by great character interactions, but the amateurish fights and political philosophy 101 are moderate turnoffs for the more literate folks.

>>10738697
Very nice, never seen this before

There is an anime wherein the lead character, named Wittgenstein, sometimes uses corporeal punishment in his role as a tutor. The anime itself is whatever, but I thought that was funny.

I like Dezaki and Ikuhara anime so I declare them /lit/.
Or I would if /lit/ wasn't such a cesspool these days.

>>10738803
hello, my friend

>>10738375
no picrel is

>>10738431
Monster is a fucking masterpiece. I highly recommend it. It's one of the smartest, most complex shows I've ever seen.

No this is

How do I watch anime like this online

>>10738873
>>>/a/
OR
>>>/g/

Both are equivalent

>>10738866
>>10738431
Mostly through it right now and it's pretty bomb; feels more like an HBO miniseries than an anime. Got into it because some anon told me Johan is anime Judge Holden and I'd call that a fairly accurate statement.

>>10738375
Official patrician anime.
However, the official /lit/ anime would probably be Psycho-Pass. It has a number of literary references and wannabe pretentious wankery, which makes it the ideal anime for pseuds everywhere. It is fun, though.

>>10738375
I'm tempted to watch this but seeing the amount of episodes and movies I just don't give a shit. I only watch animes that are short and don't overstay their welcome

>>10738697

This is the best of those "Recommended anything" lists I have ever seen. I wouldn't change a fucking thing

>>10738375

>>10738610
This, /lit/ is /sp/ territory

>>10738888
I'd take out Casshern Sins. It's very dull and very very obvious, even for anime.

not literature

plz leave

>>10738902

I actually took a second look at it. It's lacking in Tezuka manga, and the Devilman manga. Plus Pluto by Urasawa

>>10738898
Most /lit/ sport? And why is it...cricket

>>10738916
Last anime I watched was Fate/Zero a couple months ago. I should watch something again soon.

>>10738375
That's not Texhnolyze

Iliad anime WHEN

>>10738697
amazing listing really

>all this shit taste

>>10738878
That's a really accurate comparison actually, I never even put the two and two together.

Guillermo del Toro actually expressed a lot of interest in adapting Monster to a live-action HBO series, and honestly it's probably the only anime series I can think of that would do really, really well being adapted into live-action, possibly might be even better than the anime if it was done right. However he's a flaky fuck that jumps between projects so it might never see the light of day.

this is the only /lit/ anime, nips fuckoff

>>10739082
GOAT

>>10738375
That isn’t. The official un-official /lit/ anime is “Miss Bernard Said”.
Honestly, LoGH feels like a lesser version of War and Peace after reading one of the novels alongside War and Peace.

>>10738375
No, The Perfect Insider is.

Texhnolyze and Serial Experiments Lain are the only true answers

>>10739462
good choices but Eva will always be #1 imo

>>10739467
Fair enough, it's definitely up there for me too. If you take EoE alone I'd put it as #1 as well but the whole series isn't as consistently high quality as the two I mentioned in my opinion

lain is more thematically ambitious and has more philosophical depth, but Eva's characters and gorgeous visuals are what put it ahead for me. Lain's greatest failure for me was it's very inconsistent production quality. There are some frames of Lains animation that are just fucking embarrassing, that said it is very well written in terms of exploring its themes. it was very much ahead of its time. haven't seen tex yet but I have heard many good things.

>>10739525
>>10739510
meant to reply

SZS is the most /lit/ anime

>>10739525
Eva's quality is really something else. Will always impress me.

this thread really shows how bad this boards taste is in general.

>>10739579
You sure shows us.

ITT.

>>10738375
probably the best characters I've seen in an anime
>>10738885
the endless entry-level /lit/ quotes in Psycho-Pass turned me off completely, and story and characters are nothing special too (the premise is good though, so much wasted potential)

>>10739625
>so much wasted potential
Anime in a nutshell

>>10738433
>>10739060
it's pretty amazing, but not very /lit/
LOtGH really feels like a book adaptation

>>10739629
You haven't read a lot of posmo novels, have you?

>>10738375
No. It's Aoi Bungaku

What are even the qualifications for being a /lit/ anime? I feel like most people are just naming their favourites.

>>10739629
LoGH IS a book adaptation. That's why retards saying this thread isn't /lit/ should fuck off.
Now I don't know how good the novels are but based on reviews, the author wrote it like as a historian would. Unfortunately unless you know very fluent Japanese, you won't be able to evaluate the writing

>>10739667
what I meant is Tatami Galaxy relies on the visuals and direction much more
>>10739694
yea, I know, what I just wanted to say that it really shows

>>10739629
>>10739942
Dude that constant first person narration is hella /lit/ what are you talking about. Also both Tatami Galaxy and LOtGH are literally adapted from books.

>>10739694
>the author wrote it like as a historian would
Either the translation is fucked up or japanese historians have a very different way of describing things. He constantly refers to people as ”the golden-haired youth” and shit like that. Frankly it reads like fanfiction.

>>10740007

>Frankly it reads like fanfiction

That's something fun I learned with my damned optional classes in uni. Most of written history is, in fact, just an immense fanfiction because it has only become something of an "empirical" or "journalist" thing after the Enlightenment. Before that a historian was more of a tale-chaser than anything. You support the King X? Then "history" about him is going to a wish wash about how he saved thousands from drowning by single handled building a boat to save everyone, and so on and so on. So it's technically right to call it historic view if only grossly outdated because we don't write history as myth anymore (actually I'll hold this argument to myself, since people might be getting just dumb enough in some places to consider Wakanda real, for example).

>>10740007
Yeah I forgot all historical writing (including that in the speculated future) adheres to contemporary Western stylistic protocol.

>>10738375
*Blocks your path*

Ashita no Joe is /lit/ and Mishima had good taste in manga

Evangelion of course.

>>10740038
>tfw Mishima killed himself before all the best animes came out

>>10740038
>Mishima had good taste in manga
What did he like? Can you provide a source, please?

>>10740055
Ashita no Joe, he went right to the publisher's office to get a copy of the latest chapter he missed, they were intimidated by his manly physique and gave him a free issue
AnJ is emblemic of everything Mishima wrote about

>>10740035
the ultimate pseud show
at least it helps me filter out the trash - whenever I see someone mention it as a 10/10 I can safely ignore their opinion

>>10740078
It has its defects but I find it a nice anime, and Makishima is an interesting character

>>10739462
>Texhnolyze
Mein nigger

>>10738375
No, because Baccano is.

>>10740107
Baccano! is a Tarantino movie in anime form
pretty enjoyable, but not very /lit/

Hellsing Ultimate -- I don't know Japanese but the speeches sound awesome and the translation confirms it.
What Watchmen is to comic books, only for anime.

The only /lit/ anime, and the only anime I have seen, is The Wind Rises.

>>10738886
You don't need to mind all the different OVAs and stuff. Try these two films:

1. Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu: Waga Yuku wa Hoshi no Taikai
2. Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu: Arata Naru Tatakai no Overture

And if you dig, then check out the main 110 episode OVA.

>>10738375
>not Ergo Proxy

>>10740287
>not Bakemonogatari

>>10739551
Ending adaptation fucking never.

>>10740277
alright will do, thanks anon
