How do you determine whether an anime is Deep or Pretentious?

To be honest,  I am not sure minnasan.
It's just a feeling I suppose. What about you guys? Do you have any set criteria for this?
 
I have a hard time trying to figure out what makes a show pretentious, since you can’t tell what the intentions of the creator are.

Usually it’s code word for something that’s weird and quirky and they didn’t like or get it.

Hehe...exactly xD
I don't get how it could be done easily either and for One piece, it's supposed to be deep but I don't think of it that way.

I just tend to see it used by people who can’t come up with a real descriptor for something weird and/or different to what they’re used to.

I’m a music nerd and I hear that descriptor thrown around by people in regards to any artist or song that does anything “artsy” or isn’t making music that’s straightforward pop.

Yikes...I see,
That makes sense I suppose. I hear that all the time around me....guess I got too used to it.
 
not sure lol
may be based on the fact that people tend to make assumptions when it comes to anime with biased opinions.
 
I can't read the minds, and intentions of the creators of animes xD. They might have something running in their mind that led to creating such movie scene, what i can't decode is if they're being pretentious on a particular genre.
