Anime seems to have a quality problem. Other than Miyazaki and Satoshi Kon's work, I can't say there's much that has resonated with me. Evangelion was interesting, but that was almost thirty years ago!
- GaggiX 2y agoDo you actually remember the TV season of Evangelion? Especially the last episodes seem they have finished the budget. I'm sure the films are better, but I still have to watch them.
- squidsoup 2y agoI thought the ambiguous ending was interesting and thought provoking, even if it may have been the result of budgeting issues, but I do recall they tied up the loose ends in the movies.
- GaggiX 2y agoI think it's quite easy to find anime that are better than the TV season of Evangelion, if you like it.
- squidsoup 2y agoOpen to recommendations! I think what appealed to me about Evangelion was that it explored philosophical ideas about human relationships, identity and consciousness. I know there's lots of entertaining anime out there, but I'm looking for something a bit more.
- GaggiX 2y agoI wrote the response before you edited your comment but HN blocked me from posting it because I was writing comments too quickly, now that I have read your edit I would say something like "ghost in the shell", my original response: "You should look for stuff that's in your genre, a lot of stuff has been released in the last 30 years. As for stuff I like, the last anime I remember watching was Cyberpunk Edgerunner, I thought it was really good, but maybe it's not your genre."
- squidsoup 2y agoThanks, I had forgotten about Ghost in the Shell, and agree that was great. I’ll check out the Cyberpunk anime!
