@coolboymew everything is made in china for these sorts of things. i have no qualms about my fellow stagg rusting or leaking despite being made in china
@coolboymew@deadheat@romin and by "2deep4u" you mean the imagery of cool designs, the nonlinear unraveling of characters, the poetry of the dialog, and everything that references a metanarrative? youre right that eva is nothing without these. but so is almost every narrative artistic work. theres a reason were okay with every fictional story following the same heros journey. art appreciation on narratives analyzes HOW the story is told, not just the plot. anything capable of being artful, can make for itself a vibe that is unique. anyone who can appreciate that vibe, can make for themself an interpretation that is unique.
@coolboymew@deadheat@romin i thought i was being pretty clear when i mentioned VIBES as an important element. "i put crosses in it because it looks cool" is exactly something a widely respected artfilm director like lynch or tarkovsky would say. but its different for anime because its "for teens" and because it exists within a slop genre? what the fuck is robocop then, just slop or 3deep5u arthouse? can something not be both? is it impossible to read into a childrens book for an adult interpretation?
@romin@coolboymew@deadheat shocks me when ppl are disappointed things dont have deeper intended meaning. too many art consoomers are vibes-illiterate and have zero capacity to make their own conclusions. i guess we deserve slop
