If you want a good and deep anime series, watch Neon Genesis Evangelion. Regarded as one the greatest anime's of all time.

Oh lordy, you just dropped like a rock in my eyes. Don't get me started on that pseudo-intellectual bullshit called NGE.

It's a mess. It's a bunch of whiny teenagers contemplating life and I blame the entire emo movement for that sort of trash being publicly touted as intelligent.

You want real intelligence with undertones about how fucked up the world is? Watch Magnolia. By the end, every character has your sympathy yet you still dislike them for their pathetic nature. To boot, it's a brilliantly told story that draws allusion to coincidence and irony better than almost anything I have seen in years.

This thread is awesome.  Every time I read it rocketpig is going off on something I don't like.
