GREAT pick anon.

 

Cromartie High School
Seto no Hanayome
Fushigi na Somera-chan
MILKY HOLMES

honorable mention for Hinamatsuri although the manga is much better

 

The one and only Ichigo Mashimaro

 

>>1115
Every bit of Ichigo Marshmellow I see is the most adorable thing ever, I realllyyyy need to check it out

Personally I'd have to pick Haruhi. The humour feels entirely straightforward but it always gets me nevertheless.

Very scary Kozupii!!

 

Forgot to attach image….

 

Do you really have to finish Higurashi before reading Umineko for a good experience? The Slice of Life segments are a slog.

 

>>1113
I am currently reading Umineko, yes you should either read the higurashi VN or watch the anime/read the manga beforehand for reasons that would be a spoiler. I've gone trough all 3 versions, watching the anime would be a good alternative because it has less sol without losing out on the story or characters.
(but don't watch that awful 2020's remake/sequel)
In many ways Umineko feels like a continuation of the exploration of ideas present in higurashi.
Fair warning: Umineko is 120-200 hours long and also has a lot of sol moments.
If you do decide to read it i suggest you use https://nyaa.si/view/1325411



 

Let's have a thread dedicated to the discussion of Keiichi sensei's work, especially now that CITY is getting its anime adaptation very soon. Keep it comfy lads.

I'm glad for you Anon!

 

>>905
Show ended, when's it happening?

 

nichijou is definitely one of the top 10s for me, i keep planning to watch city but keep forgetting…

 

CITY is proof that the best animation in the world can't save bad writing

 

>>953
The writing wasn't exactly bad, the issue is that they had to compress the entire thing into just 13 episodes so the end result is a lot of cuts and bullshit



 

Trust me. Welcome to NHK is a good one.

ah yes, the anime that made me realize all I need to do to stop being a NEET is starve because someone didn't cook food for me.

 

Has anyone read the author's new "reboot" of welcome to the NHK? I remember his afterword in the original novel where he talks about despite the success that years later he was still a NEET, so I'm curious if that remained the case and especially his perspective on the change in otaku culture from heisei to reiwa.

 

The anime is definitely my favorite adaptation so far. i recently finished the manga and it didnt feel as grounded as the anime…if that makes any sense

 

>>1105
I agree with you anon after a point the manga just started too feel unhinged and a bit lost… Like when they suddenly planted seeds.

 

>>843
>>839
I honestly feel like it depicts how heart crushing NEET life gets, how you can't crawl away, and how hopes die through each day. How others lose hope in you, and how the only way out, is at the end through yourself.
How you push away friends you once had, cycle through hobbies, all just to look for an escape. For hope. And the fact that you just keep looking for someone to relate, to understand. Only for nobody to be able to get you. The ending song for the anime defines it for me.



 

There wasn't a dedicated yuri thread in /digi/ for some reason, so now there is.

I think this post might have started a new trend on Wapchan.

>That's what I thought!
Gotta love that technique when they show something and then "guess" what the viewers are thinking — often word for word. Only happens in anime for some reason.

So far Vividred has been delivering on the seriousness part despite the genre, both in tech and in drama. And it's funny how all military actions here are strangely reminiscent of NGE. Plus it's definitely thread-related, which is a cherry on top.

 

still loving Queen's Blade

thank you Hobby Japan

 

Recently I recognized myself in Cao Cao.
Koihime†Musou has everything.

 

Daily reminder that Kiddy Grade 2 (sequal) was never been produced. We didn't get to watch this scifi yuri sequal. The only video that was released back then was this promo video. 😔



 

Inspired by the /cel/ thread

/digi/charat?

 


 

Finally found an anime character that I could relate to. I am "Ayane Isuzu", I am what you call the "Gate Keeper".

 

>>1099
It's sad that they don't make anime like this anymore.

 




 

Anime iyashikei anime fans here?

Aria and YKK are two of my favorite series

 

I really like Sketchbook ~full color's~, it's a really kind anime.

 

>>226
I ended up picking this up because of your post. I can't believe I put off watching this for so long; what a soothing anime. It's fun to hear a very young Hana Kanazawa too.

 

Iyashikei is pretty much all I watch now. Aria is super comfy.

 

kokoro toshokan!



 

Hating a manga/anime is one thing, but what's much worse is being DISAPPOINTED with one.
There's a lot you like and a lot you dislike….
Post shit that disappointed you, preferably with your reasoning.
For me, Rosavam was a disappointment. Incoming wall of text that I wrote down like two months ago when I read the manga.

I have not seen this or read the manga in a while and they both are heavy with teen melodrama, although the movie more-so. It does feel that this heavy soppy melodrama does overload the more subtle points the manga seemed to be making. I would have preferred it if this story did not go in a romantic direction, or possibly moves in that way but reveals it to be yet another case of miscommunication. What the manga had to say about communication seemed a lot more interesting than the typical anti-bullying narrative in soppy high school melodramas. The suicide scene was totally uncalled for and just shoved in to gouge more tears from the audience. Where the manga and the movie are at their best is seeing the MC struggling to communicate with someone who does not use verbal language and vice versa. Instead we get sidetracked in melodrama. Sure the movie is worse at this, but even those encounter scenes were fascinating to watch. At the end of the day, animation has to be marketed to someone so turning it into a sloppy teen drama makes sense.

 

without a doubt the 2004 reboot of tetsujin. i had very high expectations after watching the giant robo ova, i loved how it looked and i loved how old school tetsujin and the other mechas/villains looked!!
It started pretty good but as the series went on they weren't able to handle both the main story with the sublots introduced in every new episode, resulting in a messy story without a satisfing ending.
also they glaze the hell out of tetsujin only for it to get wrecked immediately by the new villain's gimmick.
I don't think you shouldn't watch it cause some episodes are really good, but overall it doesn't know what to do with itself.

 

>>1005
Funny you say that, it's my favorite adaptation of Hellsing despite it's shortcomings. But I do agree the second half is weaker, but you can tell it was meant to be part of a larger story that was cut down when it turned out it wouldn't be renewed for a continuation due to low ratings (hell, there's this early animation sequence that even adapted the Brazil sequence), that's the impression I kinda got from the finale. You can tell Konaka was going to make a much longer story in a similar style to his other works.

 

>>1067
I actually really liked this adaptation it felt very close to the writing style of Yokoyama in his manga but yes it's nothing alike Giant Robo (and nothing will ever be as good). It's definitely not a show for everyone and probably one of the most story focused Super Robot show since the combat isn't the priority and Shotaro doesn't win a lot. There's also an original movie that is more action focused so maybe give that one a try.

 

>>1008
I can understand not enjoying Gundam; most shows are flawed with odd pacing, and sometimes it can be hard to understand who is from which faction and what is the overall goal of the show (Gundam Victory). I personally enjoy Gundam from a universe perspective as the shows aren't the most entertaining thing to watch, but there's great world-building and cool characters, mobile suits, and so on (and often an amazing soundtrack, shoutout to Victory once again).
I also understand your hate for Newtype. I didn't like it at first; it felt a bit too sci-fi and convenient for the plot, but I eventually got used to it.

I also would like to say that Gundam ZZ isn't a good show, it's boring, most of the cast is boring, and the only important moment gets ruined by the ending. It's a show where nothing matters, and it just exists to remove everything Zeta created so that Tomino could make his movie sequel to 79. I'm sorry ZZ fans, but to me, the love this show received recently just seems like contrarian revisionism…

it actively depresses me to see how little people talk about her now, except for that "retro anime" tweet where they posted a scene from one of the earlier episodes where she threatens to blackmail the computer club with pictures of them "assaulting" mikuru. I remember getting to that scene with one of my friends (who hadn't seen the show) and they're like "??????" but stuck with it and they lost their mind during the reveal. Our schedules don't match up as much anymore so we haven't finished our watch-together yet (but we will!!!)

 

>>962
It's weird to think that the show will turn 20 soon. And hell, the books are almost 25… I'm glad the author is writing again but I wish he would pick up the pace a bit, I want more Haruhi. Then again, maybe a full on revival in this day and age would be a bad thing.

 

>>717
I remember getting episodes of Zeta Gundam off Kazaa and it being like 40 mb per episode in .asf format. Which honestly didn't sacrifice too much for the broadcast version. It's genuinely crazy how fast things imprived capacity wise.

 

Confession: before I got really into the Beach Boys earlier this year I thought that God Knows and God Only Knows were the same song and that Haruhi just contained a beach boys cover in it for some reason

 

>>1089
It's amusing thinking of what a Beach Boys version of God Knows would sound like, that's for sure.
