       people in the replies confused why haruhi and elfen lied are rated so high.must be hard to grasp this now when the most popular anime are AOT, jjk, demonslayer and csm, but gore wasnt really a thing back then, so of course when elfen lied did it and gratuitously it was novel to us.i rewatched a bit out of curiosity, another thing is that it hits on a ton of tropes that were popular back then but are dead now due to mass commercial appeal and a histrionic normgroid fanbase: SOL, casual nudity, moe, ecchi, and harem.if you had an anime like elfen lied or chobits about adopting cute girls of the street while banging your cousin nowadays you'd have a thousand voices ignoring the dismemberments to scream at you about diddy bluds

       @smugumin Is this what the anime fans in the 90's felt, when they saw people come into their hobby who didn't know the struggles getting hyper-violent 80's OVAs translated and subbed to a VHS tape?

       >gore wasnt really a thing back thenGore was common for a while. Even fist of the north star had showers of gore, and it was mainstream. (at least I think it was) And Berserk which is one of the most influential pieces of art from Japan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTRbhbpjdgc

       @SuperSnekFriend @smugumin anyone remember dears. :Kekw: https://youtu.be/GokjewRR0ok?The opening song itself is titled love slave.You literally can't use that word anymore due to muh slavery for a title in anything that the normies consume.The song itself even says I'm your slave.Meanwhile Slave of the Magic Capital's Elite Troops got a censored title for muh slavery so now it's just chained soldier.Also I did realize that man we don't see as many christmas cake jokes now in modern anime.I remember seeing a spinster joke in almost every modern setting series as a Teen.

       @smugumin >nudityNot just in anime either, IRL nips are becoming more shamefast and devitalised by the year, the decade, the generation.

       @smugumin Now why is FF VII: Advent Children so high up on that list? It can't be better than that Totoro film.

       @berkberkman @smugumin FF7 was kind of a 2000s internet gamer cultural phenomenon. Even if you had never played the game you still had a Cloud wallpaper on your computer somewhere and thought the buster sword was the best weapon in anything ever. Advent Children was an extension of that. It's just fucking cool.

       @beardalaxy@gameliberty.club @Spooke@detroitriotcity.com Just felt myself age, thanks. Back when hentai websites were some guy's personal collection of tiny JPEGs with handwritten HTML, or if you are lucky, PHP/Perl
