Typee is 8/10 island fun
Billy Budd is 9/10
White Jacket is 10/10 beautiful poetic genius and a brilliant precursor of Moby Dick
I heard that Billy Budd is fun adventure book but super gay (in the straight sense). Was there any truth to that?
The mob wife is right.
It almost obsessively refers to how handsome Billy Budd is.
seconding White Jacket, i'd even recommend to anyone thinking of tackling Moby Dick to read it first.
Anno is eerily consistent though in his quality, i would even argue that his other works are better than NGE (excluding EoE which is a little bit ahead of Gunbuster final episode in my opinion) and yeah of course not an IQfy board.
>i would even argue that his other works are better than NGE
Which ones?
NGE to me feels very uneven with its execution and drags alot. In terms of anime, i enjoyed KareKano and Gunbuster more than NGE, for movies i feel Love and Pop is very very funny with how he pokes fun at avant garde movies and Shiki-Jitsu is just absolutely beautiful.
Percy Shelley and Francis Bacon wrote Moby Dick
KEYED
Benito Cereno was kino

Always judge an artist by his peak
I view NGE as a collaborative achievement (that wouldn't exist without Anno). Many of the actual scripts (dialogues) weren't even written by Anno (I think). The remake was created with a different group of people, so the previous collaborative achievement couldn't be replicated despite Anno's presence, which is why it sucked.
>makes a perfectly good anime possibly the greatest of the 20th century
>immediately starts creating shitty remakes 6 years later that land him in another depressive period and finally finishes those said remakes 16 years later
He's a terrible hack. His works had sovl before now they don't.
Japs and their depression. Very pathetic. I like the anecdote where Ishiro Honda, the director of most of the classic Godzilla movies, learned his friend Kurosawa attempted suicide after one of his movies failed and he called him a crybaby loser
I like Nadia and Gunbuster
pierre is incredible. moby dick was also a piece of shit no one cared about during it's time
Bartleby is kino pleb
Sort of happened with Cervantes, too. Sometimes they just have one good one in them I guess, and that's more than most people ever get to give to the world.
Test
The bad-on-purpose homage intro to Shin Kamen Rider was pretty funny
>hero is tied up in shack
>it completely explodes from multiple camera angles
>he lands on the ground unharmed, no longer tied up
