Anime for Child Intelligence

This.

I think you're confusing it with Rick and Morty. For R&M you do need a really high IQ to understand the subtleness of the show.

No. Both are mindless ways to kill precious time by succumbing to your primitive monkey desires. Literally kys

I was a child who grew up on anime, who is now a successful mathematician. I like to think that as a teenager and young adult, I had my deepest moments of introspection watching anime. I can still remember my younger self constantly thinking about what Cowboy Bebop meant. With my conclusion being: You can't run away from your past. And if you try, it will catch up to you. I realized that the reason it was set in space was to put the life of the viewer into perspective. Spike lived in a spaceship traveling across the vastness of space. If there is anyone capable of escaping their past it was Spike. He could just keep jumping from planet to planet. From adventure to adventure. Never looking back. And yet? Not even THAT can truly allow you to run away. If Spike could not do it with his spaceship, how could I do it with the added handicap that I'm trapped in a single planet?

It was, I believe, those moments of deep analysis that made my brain grow complex and robust.

On the other hand, I also have something else to blame anime for. And that is my fucked up fetishes. My sexuality has been warped to the limit. I'm not going to talk specifics but you know what I'm talking about. And I know this too was the effect of anime. So OP, ask yourself this question: Do you want the next generation to be degenerate geniuses? If so, use anime. But don't come crying to me when you catch your son typing into google MASSIVE PENIS FUTA ON MALE SHOTA NETORARE ANAL (NON-HUMAN)

Are you kidding or have you never seen the garbage they feed to kids in the US?

Because faggotry is immoral and bad for society.

>thinking faggot still means homosexual the majority of times its used in text

>Lots of Animes require more analysis and deep thinking than American TV Shows
Anime targeted at children (shonen) and old seinen are easily less deep than American cartoons. Initial D, Naruto, and One Piece do not have deeper narrative than Teen Titans (2003), Avatar, Gravity Falls, anything put out by Pixar ever, or any other popular narrative-driven American kid's show. Even episode-based comedies like Spongebob tackle social-satire in a more interesting way than most anime.

There is a lot of good anime but to say it, as a genre, is "smarter" than the western arstyle it stemmed from is ridiculous.

>Death Note
>more complex than anything
>even passable
Oh, so you're trolling. Next you'll start ranting about SAO too, huh?

Shut up, newfaggot.

It's probably to do with their language more than anything. It's a pretty damn efficient language.

Pretty damn efficient language to think in, in theory a native japanese speaker should be able to think faster than an English speaking person. It's also not as retarded as English to learn.

>Naruto, and One Piece do not have deeper narrative
I'd like to disagree. Naruto is actually deep as fuck, even though it is one of the least deep anime out there. And One Piece is much deeper than Naruto.

>one piece not deep
Nigga did you even watch past the first few episodes?

Did you really just fucking tell me Naruto isn't more complex than Teen Titans

your entire opinion is invalid

I believe that he is a good example for OP's point. See, he was raised on western cartoons and now he is just overflowing with retardation.

>fucking Naruto
are you serious?
it's more complex sure but it's still naruto

It is naruto, but it is more complex than any western cartoon by FAR.

Teen Titans > Naruto
prove me wrong

Proof: Think.
Think what was Teen Titans about, and then think about what was Naruto about.

I've never even seen Naruto but I knew a guy that liked Naruto, you know the kind of person I'm talking about

Naruto isn't that deep really. It was fairly well-thought until it became a betrayal-after-betrayal drama where bad guys are convinced that evil is bad by merely hearing Naruto say "I won't give up."

>I've never even seen Naruto
Jesus fucking Christ. And then who do you think you are to talk about the artistic merits of Naruto?

You should be glad that I am feeling charitable as I will explain to you the main themes of Naruto. But you should read all the 800 episodes of the manga to truly understand it.

Naruto has jumped from various points but I believe the Pain arc and the final arc, obviously, embody the main points that the Kishimoto wanted to get across:

Naruto is about generational divides. It is about how time changes the core philosophy of humanity, and about how different generations relate themselves differently to power.

The main villain of the Pain arc was Nagato (who was also Pain itself). Nagato was an orphan who spent all his childhood begging for food and generally getting fucked over by an uncaring world. He lived at a time of war when it wasn't safe at all for a kid to be along. But in general, he had a very positive outlook on the future and even made it his personal goal to "fix" the world and end the torment that persecuted him all his life. Just as he was getting close to this goal he was betrayed and all of his dreams were destroyed. His dreams of saving humanity were shattered, by another human. That is when he decided that humanity was simply not evolved enough for freedom. He then used his superior powers in order to reign over an entire city like he was God. He was able to see everything that happened in his city and keep it safe. While this may sound tyrannical, sometimes you hear citizens talking about how much they love Pain because he keeps the city safe. (To put this into perspective, this was the country he grew up in. All there was before him was WAR. And he saved everyone.)

While this was good enough for a moment, his goal was to use his power to do this to the entire planet. So that he, the self-proclaimed HERO, could keep humanity safe from itself.

bruh I am extremely biased against weebshit due to my traumatic upbringing, I'm just now trying to correct that

At least two of these are samefagging.

I wasn't raised on western cartoons, so if you think I'm retarded, I'm a good counterexample to OP. My dad is a turbo-nerd so I watched a shit load of anime growing up. Akira and GiTS were the ones I started on. The only times I'd watch western cartoons would be when spending the night at a friends house.

I watched the entire first season of One Piece as a kid because I thought the show had a pretty artstyle but a story based around a fucking mcguffin is not deep. It's not even supposed to be deep.

Naruto is considerably better than One Piece, but still shit. I used to weeb out doing jiutsus on the playground when I was 11. There is no deep underlying layer to the storyline. You're just retarded. "Durr he parents dead!" Disney played that cliche out before Naruto's creators were even born.

I expected more disagreeal about Initial D than the other two, since Initial D's target audience is above the age of 15.

Next you weebs are going to tell me Phantom Blood is deep.

Belief it! (spiral thumbed upboat hand)

He didn't. I did. Learn to recognize posting styles. It's just as easy as recognizing a name, reddit man.

>dragonballz is deep

All I feel like anime has done for me is make me have an unrealistic ideal image of women. I have a good life and relationship but look at this. No real woman will ever turn me on like this fake image can. That can't be healthy.

Cont:

He then clashed with Naruto. But here is when the generational divide starts hitting deep:

Even though Naruto has also suffered a lot, in his lifetime there has not been a single big war. He sees life from the perspective of peace. With the idea that humanity does not need an all-powerful God to protect them for themselves. They just need a reliable leader that can guide them. And because of this, he clashes with Nagato. They have the exact same goal, but a different philosophy about how to stop the suffering of the world. This fight initially starts as a bland DBZ tier Powerlevel clash but as Naruto learns about Nagato and vice-versa they both come to understand where the other is coming from. But at the end of the day, Nagato is a literal God. He cannot trust that this retarded kid can save the world. So it is not only until Naruto reaches Pain and beats him. This settles it. Nagato can put his trust in this kid, much powerful than himself (GOD) to save humanity. And he does this realizing that Naruto was just like him before he saw the cruelness of humanity. So he was basically passing down the torch.

But this is not the end because in the final arc he clases with Madara. This time Madara is fucking ancient. He came from the time when humanity was just going through war after war, and he himself was a warlord. He saw the literal WORSE of humanity. Like holocaust tier shit. And his conclusion was that the only way to save humanity was to use his power to put all humans inside a dream world in which he would have absolute control. And, again, he would be God. Saving us from ourselves.

Even though he is protrayed as an absolute villain, it is clear that he is actually right. Humanity has too much power in the form of jutsus. Madara could save all of us by becoming God. But then what about freedom? Is it really worth to live a perfect life inside a dream world? These are the dilemmas Naruto presents.

>I watched the entire first season of One Piece as a kid because I thought the show had a pretty artstyle but a story based around a fucking mcguffin is not deep. It's not even supposed to be deep.

Wrong. One Piece is actually about how young people struggle to find their place in a world where the structures of power have already been settled.

You have to be a ultra-brainlet to not be able to decipher fucking One Piece, mate.

Just stop. Naruto sucked. It is just a big money grab like one piece and dragon ball.

If you like anime with more than 50 episodes, then you are six or a brain washed bastard.

I do watch dragon ball super and I hate every second of it, but nostalgia is a bitch. It is worse than naruto.

"im 13 saf welrd yay!"

Thanks for your insights user.

>If you like anime with more than 50 episodes
Na mate. After high school who has the fucking time? Last long anime I saw was probably Fairy Tail, back in high school. After that it has been 12 and 24 episode seasonal anime for me. I never even got to bleach.

OK to be fair, the first season of One Piece was not that deep. But the more recent episodes deal with very uncommon stuff like human trafficking/slavery and its connection to hyper corrupt elites. Show me some western shows that revolve around topics like that.

Na, mate. You too. Since Arlong, One Piece has been deep as fuck.
>tmw you realize Veeky Forums is full of brainlets that don't even comprehend something as simple as One Piece

Mr. Robot
Batman 3
CSPAN

I think SpongeBob was deep as fuck.

Yeah but the early episodes still aren't as deep as the later ones. Believe me, I appreciate One Piece as much as possible.

>Mr. Robot
More like Mr. Super-forseeable-plot-twist-that-made-me-quit-watching-after-half-of-season-one

Outside of shows like serial experiments lain (which are very rare). it will likely have a negative impact. Japs don't know how to socialise outside of their social hierarchy and scripted interactions. So anime is just extremely overt cut&paste of elements, especially characters. Anime could potentially stunt a kid's emotional and social development, if they watched too much, given how simplistic and unrealistic it is (characters and social interaction). That's why autists on Veeky Forums love it, it's the only thing they could ever make sense of of in regards to social interaction. Reality is too nuanced and novel.

Given the whole of anime, I can't accept your assertions as they only apply to certain series. And overall they're comprised of far narrower elements (in everything, themes and characters particularly).

IQ differences are much more complicated and while overall entertainment media definitely has an effect, possible (but mostly just comfirmation bias) difference in complexity isn't significant enough to mean anything.

my nigga

It's about a kid who wants a pirate treasure so he can be king of pirates. You're just pretentious. You're the kind of nigger who thinks spongebob is about wage slavery and shit.

>topics like human trafficking/slavery
Being edgy is not the same as being deep. You cannot relate to human trafficking and slavery. The Lion King shows the main character watching his father get murdered by a family member he trusts because of him. Finding Nemo deals with child abduction in the first 10 minutes.

For me, it wasn't anime but deep plotted videogames and RP. Most anime was banned in my house when I was a kid.
