One Punch Man is legitimately funny imo, it's the only anime I've ever recommended to normal people and they usually like it if they do watch it. Second season was shit tho, it's like it became what it was making fun of.
Really? I haven't seen Akira in over 20 years, and I remember the main characters' names are Kaneda and Tetsuo. I remember because they were constantly screaming them at each other.
Anyone watching anime for story is fricking r-slurred. It’s the last place you’ll find worthwhile story telling. And Akiras story is in the 95th percentile of anime storytelling anyway cause the competition is nonexistent

Imagine having the attention span to follow a story
Don’t understand why people get super into this shit
Same reasons as why people obsess over any other things I suppose
Though for some weebs it's definitely a mental illness or a method of coping with it
And I disagree with you on Eva. Even forgoing how iconic it is, the 'End of' movie is just such a feast for the eyes. They really went as crazy and esoteric as they could with the animation. And I'm not going to pretend like the story is some super deep shit like many people do, but it is open enough for interpretation that you can pay as much or as little attention to the different themes present and enjoy it
The GitS tv series definitely is better than any of the other gits media
That said, you have to watch the TV series multiple times to follow along with the plot and there absolutely are skippable episodes that talk too darn much
While GitS anime didn't go quite as far with transhumanism as the technology shown should allow (was it ever explicitly mentioned if there were laws against the average citizen trying for biological immortality by dropping their cyberbrain into new robot bodies until they get dementia / brain cancer from old age? Why wasn't there an episode about a simulated 'heaven' for warehoused cyberbrains like in the western novel Blindsight?), it's still one of my favorite shows for exploring the effects of widespread advanced cybernetics on society. The fact that it's not from a -punk perspective and instead explores things from the view of a mostly-beneficial but shady government agency makes it all the more interesting.
They screwed up the story so bad though. One of the main characters from the manga has like 10 seconds of screen time. The effects are good for the 80s but other anime movies have it beat. If you want something with good visuals I recommend redline.
The movie really suffered from cutting out important bits like Tetsuo taking over a fighter jet and kamikaze bombing an American aircraft carrier and the ending scene of the remaining youth of Neo Tokyo turning away United Nations disaster relief boats.
Both of these actually happen in the manga and paint the whole story to be a massive cope about Japan getting BTFO in WW2 and then getting civilized against their will.

Friendly reminder that if you can't taste coriander you are literally missing out on the most complex tastiest freshest spice in the world. It's literally culinary impotence you will never enjoy food like normal people. The media and cooking channels and even your friends will not mention this because it is a social faux pas. But trust me people secretly laugh at you if you have the inferior gene. I even knew a girl who broke up with her ex for this reason. Can you imagine passing this gene on to your children???
the only one out of place their is howl's moving castle; the other four used to be the "true anime fan" standards for the late 90s, early 2000s. hmc must be a reddit or /a/ thing cause there are several more period appropriate ghibli films for the time period.
