I thought it was going to be

There is no "fake intellectuality and garbage dialogue" at all imo. It's just a game of cat and mouse where two people are trying to trick and one up each other, and it's not really trying to be anything other than that. Frieren has a higher production quality and better art, but it came out over a decade later so that's kind of a given. In terms of how well the stories are made, I'd give that to Death Note easily. Frieren has a very good story, but no anime besides Steins;Gate or Code Geass had me wanting to see what happens next like Death Note. I guess it just depends on how much you like thrillers/suspense?

Sure the show didn't have the best production for the ending, but the production of EoE was amazing. It was well written, well animated, well paced, and resolved the plots in a satisfying way. I guess that any discussion beyond this is purely a matter of personal opinion, so idk what else to say

truth nuke

They ran out after season 5 IIRC, I still think season 6 was great but then after its conclusion the quality drop becomes noticeable

Dawg, you did not need to use AI just to make that comment lol. I'm not sure what exactly was obnoxious about the characters of Death Note? I guess they're dramatic, but that's part of the fun of the show. Also, Westworld (Season 1, I've only seen that) was amazing, with a very satisfying conclusion, interesting philosophical questions, and good plot twists

They’re all abstract, symbolic, and open to interpretation rather than proper conclusions.

This is kind of the point, isn't it? It asks the viewer to consider interesting questions, e.g. loving yourself and others despite the certainty of pain in life. It's fair to say that it's abstract and not for everyone, but it's far from a bad or improper ending.

I can see the case for season 6 of GoT having worse plotlines than the prior seasons, but the direction and cinematography of those last two episodes were phenomenal, and more than enough to counter any issues with the plot. It's some of the most excited I've ever felt watching a TV show, even if the plot wasn't as good. I'm not going to defend season 7 and 8, those were at the quality of marvel movies

I strongly disagree with these takes on Death Note, FMAB, and Evangelion, especially considering the fact that the endings of all three were great (counting EoE as the ending for Evangelion, since that was basically its purpose.) What do you mean the premise of Death Note is unbelievable? It's not trying to be realistic whatsoever; it's like if I said Harry Potter has an unbelievable premise because magic isn't real. Seasons 5 and 6 of GoT are great too, the last couple episodes of 6 are the best in the show imo (I said this in another comment)

one becomes the other in practice

This meme was made with pure hatred lmao

Jokes aside, won't DSA be useful for spreading awareness/support of socialism, and provide a platform for all leftists to organize? IIRC DSA has a marxist faction

Why does everyone in this thread hate KDE?
