The irony of those archetypal examples being labeled as Basic is that many herald them as some of the best âAnimeâ shows within the last couple decades.
Iâll admit, I havenât watched Anime since Yu-Gi-Oh and DBZ when I was 8, so making fun of my taste is valid. But when nothing else has stood the mainstream show beyond what you see posted on popular advertisements and peopleâs Facebook profiles, it makes me believe thatâs all there is to quality Anime. And let me tell ya, lot of it was I had summarized before.
Go play Shadowverse if you want a weeb card game.

What irony? I donât think you understand what basic means. It just means itâs mainstream.
Mainstream can be good (in the context of a kidsâ show⌠letâs remember these shows you listed are aimed at kids, so what âmany [kids] heraldâ as the âbestâ isnât saying much), but mainstream isnât everything there is to a medium or genre.
Itâs like⌠fast food. Fast food is mainstream. Some fast food might even be decent as food, and âmany heraldâ them as the best, but that doesnât mean thatâs all there is to dining.
Again, thatâs like judging all cuisine only by fast food. After all, I see a lot more fast food commercials and people on social media talking about Popeyeâs chicken sandwich or McDâs Szechuan sauce than actual fine dining. And Iâm pretty sure âmany heraldâ those fast food items as the best thing ever.

Honestly, this is like saying Metallica is all there is to quality metal, or that Bob Marley is all there is to quality reggae, which, to anyone who is really into these kinds of music, is incredibly short-sighted.

Not really. Theyâre shows that a lot of people grew up with so theyâre often blinded by nostalgia when judging the show. The only people who call them âthe best animeâ probably havenât seen an anime since 2008.
This also shows that you havenât seen an anime in 8-16 years.
Have you seen a movie ever? At least anime doesnât over sexualize and dehumanize real people.

Animation is art, country of origin or animation style does not change that.
Do yourself a favor and watch A Silent Voice for example. Itâs only a couple of hours and Iâm sure it would change your perspective on the subject.
Mind you, rather than giving you too much flak for not knowing quality anime content, we could suggest a few ones to watch if youâre ever interested in broadening your view on the subject.
A few references (that may be a bit old) that I really enjoyed:
- anything by Hayao Miyazaki, my personal favorites being Spirited Away (a masterpiece) and Porco Rosso.
- Paranoia Agent by Satoshi Kon (his other work is pretty good too)
- Grave of the Fireflies. Now, be wary, while extremely good, this is really, really tragic. I donât know anyone who wasnât heartbroken by this anime.
- on a more light/funny note bordering on crazy weird, FLCL blew my mind.
- Serial Experiments Lain is more mainstream but I remember it being quite a thing when it got released

âAnimeâ is defined as the animation style of East Asia, particularly Japan. Arguing Semantics over what modernized associated terms is pointless here; everyone in this discussion already knows we are talking about Japanese animated cartoons.
Anime often sexualizes underage females, and I argue that is worse than real adults.
Iâm open to watching any Anime or whatnot that has some value to it. But Western society had greatly tainted the best of popular East Asian entertainment by highlighting only the cringey and vastly inappropriate (in regards to social taboos) themes. Iâm an adult and can take it for what it is, a cartoonized fetish, but doesnât mean itâs worth any glorification.
While there are some good anime shows/movies out there, I think part of Hearthstone/WoWâs charm is that it deliberately sets itself apart with a rather unique art style, largely bright and vivid even in darker cards (before anyone brings them up, pretty much all of the MtGesque things we see are from the vanilla WoW TCG ported over into Basic/Classic) and to stray from that into hybridizing or creating SOME cards with much more anime-style artwork would do a disservice to the charm of the gameâs aesthetic and just feel out of place.
IMO, you should either go full anime art style, or not at all. If thatâs your thing, Shadowverse has it nailed rather well.

âŚhe said, while earlier he already told us he hasnât watched anime since he was 8.
âŚand if you look at the list of shows he listed (the shows he watched), none of them are known for their sexualization, let alone sexualization of underaged females.
Apparently in this guyâs world view, the anime shows most highlighted in the west are cringey and vastly inappropriate in regards to social taboos.
âŚbut as noted above, the shows that were the most popular and mainstream - the shows he watched when he was 8, and claimed âmany heraldâ as the best - are nothing of that sort.
I canât help but suspect heâs just regurgitating propaganda talking points, and hope that repeating it enough times itâll become true. I wouldnât say heâs trolling, because there have been/are moral nannies out there who really believe in the stuff they regurgitate (e.g: people who tell us video games cause mass shootings, or we go way back to the days to the people who thought rock and roll is tied to devil worshiping)

Here some of the greatest Anime Movies that proove its not all about what wou wrote.
Spirited Away - Won an Academy Award 2002
Princess Mononoke - James Cameran sayd, this movie was his insipration to create Avatar
Paprika - The Movie âInceptionâ is based on this Anime!
Grave of the Fireflies - Maybe one of the sadest movies in the history at all
Akira - Inspired generations of movie makers by his art style
Ghost in the Shell - This movie is the reason why whe got the âThe Matrixâ series. The makers sayd they where âinspiredâ by this movie. You can see clearly the similtarties in the storyline an even Trinity has got the look of the main character from Ghost in the Shell.
Castle in the Sky - 1986 - This movie inspired Final Fantasy and Mega Man series, Valkyrie Profiel and even Bioshock Infinite in ther Art Style.
Seriously, name ONE anime made after 2002 that doesnât utilize moe in some way.
They donât exist. Anime is moe, they have become synonymous
And youâre obviously a weeaboo⌠a proud weeaboo Go play Shadowverse
I googled what moe is and it says that itâs when the characters make you feel affection for them.
What is wrong with that? If something it shows good character writing

Moe usually is partnered with anime that has underaged girls that make creepy guys fall for them.
