>>6409511>NGE genuinely good seriesHaven't seen Gunbuster but from what I remember incredibly disappointed and (somewhat) befuddled by adoration of anime fans for it (but then there's a lot of anime that they consider "good"), I liked the organic mecha but that was it.
>Also the way you put it you seem like you think that anime is objectively a "lower" artformIt is. There should be two subcategories for animation from japan:
Japanimation - Animation that is world class, Akria, Studio Ghibli films, Satoshi-Kon films etc fall into this category
Anime - your usual shite aimed either child or manchildren - Gantz, Elfen Lied etc
