When I think of TRP, I've never once thought about anime.

A lot of the older anime out there is quite adult orientated with extremely alpha characters.
Think of Japan being a very male dominated society till quite recently.

cowboy bebop is worth watching for the musical score alone. the show is pretty amusing.
they are space faring bounty hunters. and there are wacky hijinks.
anime can be a slippery slope though. there are a few great ones, but a lot of them are filler garbage like most shows.
Tru dat.

I like that in anime they all look like they're 12 years old but their boobs are as big as their head.

I have to admit, this is a selling point for me as well.
Or flat as fuck.

ugh....
I dont know of any anime that classifies as red pill, seeing as red pill is technically discussion of sexual strategy,
If you mean caricatures of masculinity yeah sure, but half of those characters would also qualify as autistic. Is standing there and brooding considered "red pill"?
I mean really, is there wisdom to be gained here or is it just stuff you ~like~ - not specifically aimed at you OP, as I can see what you're getting at with the image, but just food for thought before this devolves into a anime circlejerk
Yep, agreed. The quote from the show resonated with me is all.
Also, you'd never find such a quote in shows today. Definitely not anything animated ( "can't be polluting the minds of kids with chauvinism et al" ) and definitely not anything prime time.

I never thought of anime in terms of TRP, but, come to think of it, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann has an interesting protagonist :) Also, most of the samurai-themed animes have an abundance of alphas (not talking about the samurai girl variants, obviously). Champloo, Samurai Seven and Gifuu Doudou comes to mind, but there are dozens of others.
Not so much for the example of alphaness, but if you liked Cowboy Bebop you'll probably like Trigun too, if you give it some time to build up.
Also, a few random suggestions: Gungrave, Ghost in the Shell, Hellsing, Death Note. And for an easter egg, Samurai Jack :)
IMO, Trigun demurrs too much of the time. Champloo FTW. Never got a chance to catch TTGL. Meh, some time for the future.

Not sure if relevant, but what really first opened my eyes to myself and my self-worth (even before redpill, and applying my views of self-value and ego to everything) was Evangelion. People say the last 2 eps are utter garbage, but to me as a 14 year old, they were pure fucking genius. I realised that I loved that puny beta shit main character because he was me. I saw myself in him, and his revelation became mine in turn. It had a lasting impact on the way I am today and I am forever grateful to Evangelion and its director.
If you know someone who has lost direction in life, just generally depressed and very timid, meager and weak - give them Evangelion.

Baki The Grappler. Tough.
They are both manga and anime. Same style art. Detailed and anatomically correct.
In the Baki manga/anime red pill is almost in the subtitle of it. Lots of manly characters, manly banter, everything. They are martial arts/fighting anime/manga.
Yujiro is probably the most alpha/dark triad character of all time.
http://i61.servimg.com/u/f61/12/21/04/90/yujiro10.jpg hahahahaha enjoy.
And yes, that's president Bush as Yujiro's driver.
