You would think if everyone in the anti-tank unit had no regard for their own lives, there wouldn't be any left.

I don't know if any country excels at romance stories, as opposed to stories with romance in them.
The Garden of Words was pretty good.
I know it might sound like a school days-esque trap, but it's not.

Closest thing to Diamond is Unbreakable being in an anime.
Ichiko becomes a kid, and finally realizes why she gets pissed in a family home. BECAUSE FAMILY.

In anime? Uh... Nothing comes to mind but I like Virgin Snow and The Adjustment Bureau, both of which are live action movies.
Actually Corvo, it's not an anime but go read Last Game and Horimiya. They're really good love story mangas. I think you'd like it a lot.

Doing a little bit of show sampling to find something to watch.
Myself; Yourself 1
No english dub. Artwork is kinda poor. Really shooting for that occasional ecchi shit, lazy animation at times (there was one shot of the main character, Sana, just walking around a corner of a building and they felt it was good to just basically draw four frames of him at different positions and just do fade transitions on him to "simulate" motion. Why.), bland soundtrack, annoying seiyu. Also, you setup the premise of Sana returning to live in his hometown after 5 years absent with a flash back of a party with all his old friends and you basically spend the whole first episode only re-introducing him to basically one of them? That's not a very good start.
Bleh. Next.
Toradora! 1
No english dub, also, but a lot better in the music and artwork department. They really like that "hey, I know this is an animation so it's not really a fisheye lens but hey look a fisheye lens!" effect, huh? I like this gag of him looking mean/evil (is this an occasional gag/thing in anime/manga? I remember it being used to the same effect when I read Karin a while back). Much better start. Show might a bit too weird and wacky for my tastes, but I'm not hating it so far.
Kanon 1
More really bad Key moe drenched character designs. Even after Clannad's kinda grew on me, they're still really jarring for me look at. Not that bad, I guess, but it's probably gonna way too cutesy for my tastes.
Air 1
Again more eye-breaking Keyshit, but I knew that when I decided to sample these. I can't say I like this grey-haired dude, but if he ends up being the main character that'd probably at least be a decent change of pace. Still probably gonna way too cutesy, too. Really awkward show so far though. Really jarring shifts in tone too.
---
Toradora! is probably leading the pack. Dropped the first one, might stick with Kanon, will probably drop Air soon, and will probably do more sampling tomorrow.

I can only really agree with you when it comes to these particular mecha, and even then I probably wouldn't arrange them in the order that you have them in. I'd also include the Gunbuster, Kshatriya, Scopedog, Knight of Gold and MRC-F20 SUMO for good measure.
This is going on your permanent record.
Completely forgot about this one. It's almost embarrassing my biggest takeaway from FSS was the crazy ass timeline that was looked at after I watched the movie.

Toradora actually gets even better over time. The characters are a lot deeper than when they first appear. For Corvo I think I might even recommend that one.
Kanon's on hold, and I'm having a hard time going through Air.
The disturbing age difference didn't raise any red flags?
If you guys are gonna recommend manga, I'm gonna recommend Adachi manga.
Well, that's icky too but you have age difference anime all the time.

It's a very classy series!
I don't even remember why I didn't watch t back in the day. I really don't know.
Everything after #4 stops being in real order of importance and more because of that's the order I thought them up. Laevatein places first because FMP will always be first in my heart.
Huh?

Says the guy who made the Oreimo thread!
I'm onto you, Jex. ( 一一
I think Jex should make the thread for Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA.
Otherwise, there's a good chance if no one else makes it, I'll be the one who does it.

I never said it was classy!
Even if I've never watched any other Rurouni Kenshin?
You'll be fine. It's set before Rurouni Kenshin anyways.
Yes. It's standalone and actually helped give me some context when I finally watched the TV series.
Yes. It doesn't matter.
It occurs way in the past and no knowledge of the actual series is necessary to enjoy it.
Think of it like the Fate Zero version of the RK world except that the actual RK series isn't crap.

You need to correct this. Megas is straight up great.
Compared to Tsuiokuhen it's dog doodoo.
Well, the first half of the 66 eps isn't nearly as good as the second.
:iseewhatyoudidthere
Yeah, the whole thing picks up by the Kyoto arc but the first half gives background and there are some good storylines in it.

ANNA'S FATHER IS EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVERYONE!! Orgy jokes. Valspina's guy always says "I'd go anywhere with you." MEH. So sick of the not-Dannar base cast. Principally because BEST BASE got ripped off. Also if I have to hear about how big Shizuru's ass is one more time, I dunno. Damn, Shizuru is best girl, but I didn't see this Shiz x Shin thing coming.
Oh man these next two episodes are gonna be inteeeense.

I think those are probably gonna be my feelings too just based on first impressions.
The last two episodes are great, especially if you care about Goh and Anna.

I haven't seen it, but I actually heard watching the Kenshin TV series gives a few scenes in Trust and Betrayal more impact. Can't deny or confirm that obviously. Read a review that was pretty adamant about not watching the OVAs first.

bad gameplay lol

First off, the music in this show is beautiful. Wow. The art is nice too, although the character designs do have a bit of that weird early-2000s "chunky" look to them.
Getting to the story itself: I knew about the whole "blood relation" thing going in, but I didn't know about the age difference thing, which adds a second layer of...I don't want to say "weird", but...just, uneasiness, I guess? It'll definitely be interesting to see how the show handles it (which is the main reason to watch it, of course).
Also, I know they're barely comparable at all, but I feel like I've been wasting my time with Oreimo when I could just be watching this instead. I actually like the characters in this. I mean, I'm not even a quarter of the way through Oreimo, so I'm not gonna drop it just yet, but still.
Gah, sorry, went off-topic there. But yeah, this is good. Gonna stick with it.

Aha, another uncaring-about-life romance protagonist. But hey, this guy's actually not some slender dude, he's a bit on the larger side. He kinda looks like my cousin, actually.
Oh, how convenient, she drops a card and now he has to chase after her. And conveniently a moment for: "You hear that? That's the winds of change."
Koshiro's got a real deep voice. So hopefully this means he's not some kind of simp like practically ever other romance protag. ...Actually no maybe this sets him up to be an even bigger simp.
Holy hell why do I get a really bad feeling about the plot from the conversation with dad... uhhh. So let me get this straight, is this brunette Koshiro's ex-girlfriend or something? Maybe they said it, I wasn't really paying attention.
Dude you're like so old. Why are you trying to get with jailbait right off the bat? ...and his co-worker doesn't seem to have all that much of a problem with it...? Uhhhhhhhh
So we're in the first episode, and we're already having a pseudo-date at the park. I mean, the guy's got a problem, but this girl clearly has no common sense either to go with a total stranger... onto a Ferris wheel... and spill her guts. Wow.
Blushes all around, and crying tears from a grown-ass man to a 15-year-old girl. And now a convenient(?) subject change with flowers. Awkward moments all around, and then... HITLER TO THE RESCU-----
Dropped. Dropped. Dropped. Dropped. Dropped. Dropped.
AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Actually, it was sorta... entrancing and on second thought it might be enjoyable. I don't know what to think anymore
