Only takes shows I've seen into consideration, so maybe one day I'll do another, more comprehensive one. Make it a collaborative effort maybe?

Whatever, it was fun to make this afternoon.

    Cowboy Bebop is Banime while Kaguya sama and shiteXfamily are worth watching

    :tito-laugh:

    A leftist reading of Cowboy Bebop is that it's a story about atomized existence amongst the disenfranchised under capitalism, produced in the 90s after history ended with libshit world domination. It's S tier kino animation and plot wise, Spike is also a Literally Me character.

      spy x family is good

      also cowboy bebop is pretty good politically, but i do not think the 'plot' is good. vicious makes every episode he appears in worse, the shows only really good as an episodic thing. many of the individual episodes have great plots though, i'm not trying to shit on it too much

      also i think banime means it's aimed at anime skeptics, and cowboy bebop is an infamously good gateway anime

        It's very episodic, bounty of the week. The weak episodes are okay, but the strong episodes are some of the best stories I've ever encountered. And it runs through lots of different genres. There's some horror, some drama, some romance, some police procedural. Nerds of a certain age consider the sound track one of the best albums of the 90s, if not our lives. Like the music alone is a major artistic achievement and worth listening to.

          absolutely. it's a great show, it looks great, the ost is incredible, it's got some really amazing episodes of television there. i just think it's worth putting it in context, and i don't think it's true that the plot (which generally refers to the overarching narrative) is "S tier kino"

        Very well I thought you meant it's B tier as opposed to stuff that is "worth watching"

        See kids world peace is possible
