That's the cycle most of went through. It sounds terrible at first but eventually you learn to like. Or we've all gone mad.
"True art is incomprehensible"
But you can still call whatever you want pretentious. Like any good label, it can be used on anything.

The Gantz manga feels awesome when you first start it because it feels like its building to something awesome but then it never does and the plot point they just spent dozens of chapters on is dropped for something completely different. Then you realize there is never going to be an explanation for any of the crazy shit that happens because they don't have a clue where this thing is going.

The guy who directed CCS is the same director as the first 4 episodes of Aoi Bungaku.
Crazy stuff!
So a serialized trainwreck? Glad I avoided it.

In more important news, I didn't know there was a (good) Aria spinoff:
I've seen it used more times as verbal 'ammunition' against other people's opinion than not, because... sincerely... can we really say things like "pretentious" at everyone? Where are the universal measures?

Using some online dictionary rather than a real dictionary? How pretentious.
It's just very affectionate
Weren't you gonna watch Angel's Egg, too?Now there's pretentious anime for ya.
Yep. It's in the to-do list. I'm bad with movies and the time investment they require though, so actually getting myself to sit down and watch has always been an issue, lol.
Berserk has a horse trying to rape a woman, clearly the proof of superior craftsmanship.
true, but that's like an important part of the story, man.
You know you've got something incredible when that's not even close to being the most disturbing scene in the story.

Just discovered indie animator Kojo Tanno's series of shorts titled VIEW. There's four of them so far, with the longest barely over a minute, and they're well worth watching. Great sense of style and vibrant, active animation.

Don't try to fool me with that reverse-hipster argument.

If I ran into someone named Kei or Tae my first instinct would be to punch them in the face because of that damn manga.
You know a one episode show thats really fun (but is entirely composed of amateur CG)?
Cat Blue Dynamite. Look it up.
It is a 70's style exploitation action show starring a blue catgirl and cheesy 70s one liners, musclecars, disco, afros, plenty of violence, and a sexy villain.
Also, I just read this short artcile and found it interesting because I totally bought into all the gimmicky stuff that used to come with boxsets.

It may be 71 minutes but it felt way longer than that.
Like how time can flow differently when you're in an english class than when you're in a math class.

Everything in Ergo Proxy was intentional, of course it wasn't all good.

When something is as good at atmosphere as Angel's Egg is, I can't find it boring to watch.

This show is just fun, and that is fine by me. It's just plain enjoyable for me to watch.
Also I loop the OP for hours on end... Like at least 6 hours every day, and I don't get tired of it. I have no clue why, but I can't stop listening. When the OP single for the first half releases, i'm gonna have my friend in Japan get me a copy. I love Megumi Nakajima's voice.

I am this also.
It makes up for it with symbolism.

But plenty of hair.
This is an important metric to judge anime by.
Loli, imo.
I read an analysis where the angel's egg symbolized
the girl's innocence (read: virginity), and then the guy breaking it with his sword is, well, you know.
Kind of like T&A.
Bro-fist. That blend of funk/house is my kryptonite. I actually thought it was Kanno at first, but read the credits to see that it was Rasmus Faber. I do feel like he used Kanno's compositions from Frontier as a starting point for Nakajima though. They worked so well for her.

Who knew Oshii was so filthy?
I think it's just art critics who are filthy.
Everything is as sexual as you want it to be.
Ikuhara has a thing for rape.
Oh! I went to post the new fragment released in another thread (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=34297189#post34297189) and I didn't see you posting it here. Sorry for the redundancy, hosannainexcelsis!

Midori? That was about the magic of being a child and the adventure that come with it.
