A chart can never be indicative of the journey, because it is a personal one.
I saw Inaka Isha a long time ago, and none of those tiers to the right explain my level.
It's like power levels in Dragonball. They don't actually exist. You can't quantify power levels or the journey one takes to build them.

Worse nearly everything at the bottom is super well known in the west by ultimate liberal arts fucking normalfags, people that don't enjoy anime but have seen Miyazaki shit because it even got theatrical release in the west.

Seikon no Qwaser is at the level of Inferno Cop and 80's OVAs...
Angel Beats! isn't something more known than fucking Evangelion or Haruhi!
It was never THAT popular, is 13 episode that came out nearly 10 years ago and the entire theme isn't some brainless Shonen/shojo that anyone can get into easily that is most of that level...
Same with FMP! FMP is even older and is far too /k/ autism and niche humor to be slightly above GITS and slightly lower a bunch of easier more recent shows or ever reached the fame of Jojo's.

I honestly don't think many people have pummeled their way through LoTGH. It takes almost 48 hours to pummel your way through every episode (in comparison, Familiar of Zero's full length is ~16 hours). I think in reality it's more just become a meme and people reference it/pull up witty scenes from it/general plot synopsis talking points for political garbage.

Of course we will be very familiar with things that are lower, and may have often seen them before things that are higher, because we discuss more obscure shows on /a/.

There is literally nothing wrong with anime being shallow. Almost everything unique or interesting about it as a medium is in presentation, not writing. It's great if an anime has something significant in it, but if the presentation is good then all the plot and themes really need to do are not be an annoyance.

Reading genre pulp on the toilet isn't the same as reading classical literature, some of which has entire courses dedicated to them in university. Whoever made that image is actually retarded and likely rarely reads, because they would understand the difference. Hell, I would actually argue that it takes about as long to read the entirety of 'A Song of Ice and Fire' then it would be to both read the Iliad and actually while actually doing the side research in Greek history and mythology to actually appreciate it.

The handful of fags that crossboard between 8ch /pol/ and 8ch /a/ doesn't popularity maketh. Of course here we all know about it... but we're all at list tier 5 oper/a/tors of the stupid list or we wouldn't be posting here!
It's very long, very old (first season is 88), very brainy and the action parts that could have a wider appeal people are sci-fi (which is a niche) with mecha (which is also a very niche thing).
I honestly think it's one of the best anime series ever made, but it's like Jin-Roh or Planetes, it's stuff that should be really near the bottom of the list.
It's shit that MAYBE someone on /a/ will tell you to watch if you ask that you like political intrigue in space (which happens really often) or old mecha/ships shows... but who the fuck ask that?
And unlike Matsumoto shit like Harlock (which is supposedly less known than LoTGH despite being iconic?) is stuff that was never popular in the west.

Nothing on that list is obscure. Not even the retarded experimentational animations like Genius Party. If there was anything actually obscure there, the redditor or whatever that made it wouldn't know it enough to add.

On MAL list sorted by popularity (IE how many people gave a rating... so how many people know of the show) it's ranked 702 with 3,94% people that voted for it compared to the 1st.

It's not limited to MAL.
It's also what's great with anime like LotGH, it's not because there are some macros on ED that it's ever gonna be popular.
Because it's really way too hard for people to get into unless you already have no problem watching old anime and/or actually want to know where they're going with the political science stuff.
And also MAL is already a specialized anime-fan website...
IE even the newest user of it isn't even an accurate representative, they're already enough in the hobby to care and register an account and report and rate and talk about the shit they're seeing.

A lot of these are sliding scale for time and era. Back in the day, you couldn't walk into any store like Suncoast that carried anime VHS and not see some of the same CPM OVA stuff that nowadays no one has a means to see easily.

This could be for a lot of reasons, but :
>It's long. 110 episodes. Compare that to the current standard of 12 episodes, sometimes 24. Even longer anime, like Monster, still only have 50 episodes.
>Not everyone is unemployed and has the time to watch 40+ hours of child cartoons within a short period of time in order to keep track of the plot elements.
>Tries too hard to be Star Wars Trek TNG but cannot be that.
>Some people might think the votes are coming from people who have nostalgia.
>It's old. This will be a big turn off for people born in the 2000's and are accustomed to Attack of the Titans-tier digital animation.
>Also, 1500 people or 5% saying it's shit isn't something that you can just sweep under the rug.
That's my thoughts.

It`s understandable why that is, It`s easy for anons that watch anime for a while and have really went deep on older series to forget what`s the core audience in the west: Mostly adolescents and young adults that watched only the main shounen shit and any modern series licensed by Netflix or any streaming service, to them anime is a "soft" media, like books are when compared to movies I guess, that is they have little to no investment when watching it. Not to say they consume more complex media outside the realm of anime and manga, most cannot sit down and watch a 2 hour film and then explain what they just saw, that`s how things are these days.
>>806755
That seems to be the main thing that prevents new people to watch LotGH to begin with, "It`s long" or "It`s too slow" usually are what the underaged say. Let me give you an advice anon, enjoying these types of media, be it anime, movies or whatever, it something you LEARN to do it. If you never watched anything long and slow before you surely won`t be able to properly take the pace and understand something you never experienced. You can be very slow with the LotGH episodes, watch the same one more than once maybe, I did that on the first time, usually watched a single episode every night and sometimes went back a chapter or two if I wasn`t quite sure why something was happening or who was involved on it, there`s no shame in it.

Could LOGH be considered an over-rated obscure gem?
Overrated, because while excellent, it's not the best anime ever, or the smartest piece of media with political tones ever made
Obscure, because not a lot of people actually watched it.
Gem, because it's really good.
Though I wonder, how the new reboot will affect the popularity of the original anime?

His post is about discriminating between Literature and garbage. The whole point is that it is different, so for you to say that the poster doesn't understand the difference is to fail to comprehend what he said.
It looks like you are trying to create an argument about how it is difficult to read literature, so you should just read trash instead, which is both dumb and built on false assumptions. First, having entire courses dedicated to a book does not mean that you need to attend those courses to appreciate and learn from the works. Nor does it mean that you will fail to understand the book on your own. Hell, it doesn't even mean you will understand the book more, as those courses, even from a top university, are usually wastes of time and money. Different people have different interpretations of works, even for people that have researched it intensively. Don't be intimated or be insecure about how you might not read it properly. Just read it. You will still get something out of it.
What do you need to understand the Iliad better? Hamilton's Mythology? Read that then. If your argument is that certain literature has prerequisites, then read the prerequisites instead of wasting time. Though, I will repeat that you can get something out of it even if you read without preparation.

My rule of thumb of knowing how much an animu is down or above the iceberg is by the amount of porn it has.
More porn=more known by entry-level anime fags who browse reddit

>Tier 1: CLANNAD/After story
Why is this so much more popular than the first season? It's terrible. They changed the voice/personality of the girl's dad and turned everything all domestic and gay. Toonish eyes aside, the first season is really funny, touching, and sharp and at times successfully straddles different genres.
>Tier 2: Death Parade
Plz no bully, this was good too. It's notable that each episode was self-contained in the "guest" characters/arc, but also had serial storylines. There was an emotional climax with the guests in each episode (and then of course at the end).

>overrated because its not 100% autism tier excellent
its not perfect but it is one of the best anime ever produced, it's quite hard to find stuff that can top how incredible the show is (fuck the ending though)

to a certain degree yes. it's rarely watched but it is well known.

>i haven't gotten into it yet
and you really should, take it from someone in who was in the "lol 110 episodes? ill watch that later" crowd, just bite the bullet and plow through the first 20 episodes, it then becomes very difficult to put aside.

Most normalfag don’t watch anime so the chart really only exists so that people on every level can feel smug.
From the lowest weeb garbage eater to the real elitists. It’s pedantic and ultimately pointless. It’s something that someone would post on facebook to signal to their friends how deep into anime they are.
