FLCL
P&S
Kill la Kill.
Darling in the FRANXXX.
Plotwise,
FLCL has very odd moments, and it's terribly short even by modern anime standards, but I'd say that it's still celebrated for its animation style and soundtrack. It's certainly well-known enough to be famous, and I feel that it does have some redeeming factors that would keep it out of the
infamous pile, but as the times change and our heroes change... it's certainly open to discussion. I'm certainly guilty of suggesting it as an early-watch title to neophytes, but perhaps this is ill-advised. Is it too bizarre for audiences today? Is it better to watch a dozen bog-standard school-life shows before indulging in this complex work that turns the paradigm on its head?
Both
Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt and
Kill la Kill were shamelessly mocking prudishness and the cult of the "pure" waifu. If they are indeed infamous, then they wear that badge with roguish honour.
I don't care one way or another about
Darling in the Franxxx, but it's probably too new to be picked on as an 'overhyped classic'.
Like, is NGE or FLCL really INFAMOUS in the same way that Bible Black or Boku no Pico is?
I agree with at least that much. But there are many categories of fame and infamy. Someone could argue that the
Ghost Stories English dub is infamous, and they'd probably be accurate. But I wouldn't stop liking
Ghost Stories -- in fact it's one of a handful of shows that I find time to rewatch.
Eva is also a show with a certain rewatch value, in that it's rather incomprehensible on a single watchthrough. And I can understand it's Hideaki Anno's therapy session, getting revenge for the
Nadia deal, rubbing the anime industry's (and fans' !) noses in the messes they made, and all the while getting rich off it at the same time.
But almost everything I like about
Eva is not in the show itself, which is a chore to watch, and the day cannot come fast enough when it is mainly recommended just for the psychological horror crowd and not to the general fandom.
