id say more shock than goblin slayer

im taking that line

I guess, I mean I was a bit surprised but I thought it worked well

Animated blood and gore etc isn't exactly that bad to watch

but dont you feel that every anime is trying to copy akira in that shock value/ brutality but failed? Eflien lied came firetrucking close to doing it @GoldenDrummer730#4323

wouldnt you agree?

Oh so I guess on the second list, we could include Evangelion @Novayon

Anime have tried for years
But nothing comes close to that Era of movies

Initial D

The screaming adds to the shock value.

the animated blood isnt that bad to watch yeah but the way they show it and the gore and the buliding up to it is what made it hard to watch

yeah

The animation itself lends itself to that

I mean I dunno if things need to be another Akira ??

I can watch Akira just fine

there were few anime that tried to be another Akira

But I’m perfectly fine with Devilman,Eva, etc, being different and so on

Eflien lied came close to that

It came the closest out of many attempts

yeah

theres so many people in japan that want the popularity that Akira had

eats popcorn in corner of the courtroom

/slap popcorn away

damn autocorrect

I mean.. Eva is basically the Star Wars of Japan

And Eva basically reintroduced anime and mecha, as well, to a broader audience

Eh I'd say outlaw stars is

If that's what you think, you need to see the merc that Eva gets..

and mobile suit gundam was their star wars

yeah but thing is eva doesnt have many anime series the way mobile suit gundam does

i had a few friends in japan that said mobile suit gundam series is their star wars
