Speaking of clichéd work with great execution:
[Getter Robo Armageddon 1]
I've already talked about this, but I failed to emphasis the visual power of the imagery in this episode. The heavy, thick lines and angular character designs really stand out compared to most shows where the designs tend to 'blend' in with the background so everything looks flat and uniform. Here, everything is LARGER THAN LIFE. I mean, it's not really standard procedure to mix a piece of 70's hammer horror set-design in the middle of your giant robot show, but they do it here and it works, somehow:

OH GOD YES IN MY VEINS
Seriously. You don't want me to die do you?

Look at the level up.
I think it's from that monster eroge game from a while back. Monmusu Quest? Something like that.
e: oof, nvm.
Sorry if I didn't make it clear, but I wasn't referring specifically to the authors interpretation or considerations towards his own work, above all I was referring to the notion of fans appropriating of said work, deciding by themselves what it accomplished or not, and criticizing that author because of their own delusions.
The example you have put is a rightful one; sometimes you can be deceived or ignored by those creators, and it is even possible that they don't have a damn clue of why they have expressed or made something in particular (sudden inspiration, could be?). In that sense I think the ideas are like living things that spawn from you in a given moment and go on their own without you having known them well enough, and occasionally wonder why you have them, or totally forget about it.
People are constantly changing, and their ideals or perspectives change with them, but sometimes their words is all you have to understand a little bit of what they are.

I'm in the camp that believes that no artist can fully remove themselves from a work; that there's always a reflection or two, but to receive that work and draw conclusions as to an artist's state of being, even within that frame of time, isn't the smartest thing to do. In any work there's exaggerations, there's understating, and then there's complete red herrings.
And I agree with you (hence the "little bit" part). Uncertainty makes things (and persons) even more interesting!
Oh, I wasn't disagreeing with you, just expanding upon that a bit.
Alright.

Sorry I have clannad but I never finished it.
I see... well, lets just say I expanded it a tiny bit more!
On the topic of recommendations for cajunator, I'd like to help but I don't know exactly what you have seen already.
Also, sorry for the indiscretion but... is your work that much depressing to need such overdose before going to it?

Tamayura hitotose END:
What's more "mono no aware" than New Years?
And of course, one last happy crying scene:
Also, I was can't believe I missed this:
=
=
SatoJun -> Working!! -> SatoJun. The voice actress seems to be able to play the impertinent young rascal really well.
Of course, the series as a whole is pat and cliche, since it's really just SatoJun replaying the greatest hits in a new setting, but he is good at what he does and it's not really a surprise that this show turned out well. You compare this to say, Croisee from last season, and you can tell that this was just better assembled as a television series.
At this point, I probably wouldn't mind if he made another one of these just because it's probably guaranteed to be good, if not great. And heck, even if it means he needs to do another paycheck show like Phi Brain, so be it.
Hey wait! the camera is cg? I hate this planet more and more!
Have you watched Strawberry Marshmallow, cajun? That's my favorite HNNNNGH moeblobs doing nothing show.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
While this is not from Nodame Cantabile, it reminded me that the CG was the one thing about the series I didn't care for. :/

FINISH HIM!!!!

FINISH HIM!!!!
See now that's just not playing fair.
Oh lord those concerts had awful CG in Nodame Cantabile, otherwise it was a cracking good show.

What to do, what to do, do I follow up with another Chiyo-chan gif?

Or move onto mini Squid?
Right now due to the shortage of dispatchers and resultant long hours and extra days, yes it has been rather depressing. However, even when it's not I surround myself with cute things. It makes life easier for me.
Cool, looks like Mysterious Girlfriend X will be getting an anime as well.

None of this will destroy me, but it does make me happy.

Watch the live action drama. Only 11 episodes, plus some movies for the Paris and later arcs if you enjoy it. It's fantastic. Plus you get the awesome that is the casting for Stresseman.
