Philosophical Anime

Philosophical Anime is a club where anime involving philosophical plots and themes can be discussed at great length among like-minded individuals. I encourage discussion of contentious plot points and misunderstood or confusing plot points as well in order to better clarify the messages of the series. SPOILER WARNING. All threads in this club will contain spoilers as they are discussions of series as a whole. If you have not completed a particular series, it is highly advised that you do not read its thread. CONTENT WARNING. Some content discussed in this club may be sensitive in nature. As such, please be respectful in the presentation of your thoughts and opinions. Any disrespectful presentation of ideas is prohibited; please be respectful. Additionally, having said this, any topic is open to discussion no matter how controversial. Sensitive individuals be warned. The general workings of this club will involve a single topic for each show being discussed. I will post various questions for consideration that seemed significant to me when watching the show in order to start the discussion. I will generally give my take on all of these questions later in the thread. Everybody is welcome to pose their own questions. Any of these additional questions which are posed and illicit significant interest will be added to the original post for consideration or discussion. Additionally, There will be a thread where shows can be suggested for discussion that I have not seen, in which case I will either watch it before making the thread, or allow the individual suggesting it to produce the proposed discussion topics for that thread.
