Quite.
Another warning about Shigurui - by the time you finish the anime you'll feel the need to read the manga. Then you'll read the manga and decide that perhaps you shouldn't have bothered.
Maybe I'm new here. Or not. But I was lurking a few days back and saw someone giving impressions of SNAFU S2 and gave it a try. Loved every bit of it as I marathoned the first season til the latest episode in the second. So whoever was that, thanks!
But now that I've caught up, I want to distract myself with another anime. Preferably romance with slice of life/comedy themes and a bit modern in terms of art style. For reference, I've watched the following:
- Toradora
- Amagami SS and SS plus
- Clannad
I don't really mind fanservice and aged animes but I prefer if the protag is not as weak willed as in Amagami and no horror in the plotline is involved. So, any recs?I was thinking of picking up Hyouka but I want some advice. Thanks in advance.
Check out Midori no Hibi/Midori Days. Yes Im aware of the instantly obvious hand jokes nd how weird the premise is, but the show is actually good romance comedy. Seiji is much like Ryuji, in that hes thought of as a tough, vicious guy but he has a softer side that is pretty lonely. It actually has a good ending too! Outward appearances dont tell the story in this case. There is a good bit of fanservice with some very shameless girls, but its mainly boob related. Doesnt prevent this from being one of the better Romcoms youll find. Also the dub is great and it has some hilarious outtakes if you can find the DVDs.
same. Havent opened the bluray set yet but the NISA set had some flaws.
Enjoy. Holo is one of the greatest characters in all of anime. She is very cute, very wise, and carries herself extremely well in the world, as you would expect from a Goddess. Holo is the truth.
Somedays Dreamers is a solid series. theres also a second one. It delves into the lighter side of magic use, in a world where its use is heavily regulated and restricted and monitored. the show is quite shoujo and has a very calming color pallette, almost pastels. Very pretty. You should check out the second series as well Sora as it tells a different story but doesnt completely screw up the formula of the first.
Is it that bad? lol

Ore Monogatari 04
Purity!
Also with this fire scene I guess the steel beam scene isn't too ridiculous. This just goes into silly mode at times.

Not at all.
But, maybe, kind of. I didn't find the ending of the anime a good place to stop, lets just leave it at that.

Well, that premise would sell just about everything :O
Looking forward.

Hey, this episode is going pretty swell. Haha look at those hilarious reaction faces! Even thematically this episode appears to be solid.
*cue sudden fire and Takeo selfless hero mode* ...

Eruna is a fun main lead to follow. Her overly positive attitude and general excitement sparks some light in my dark heart. Whenever she's on screen I can feel myself getting more cheery.
The creativity made from Team Brush with the horses in the desert in this weeks battle was neat. But once again this still unfortunately highlights how dull Eruna's own ability is in comparison.

Glad you decided to give it a shot ! But yeah outside of the period and the story being about samurai, Champloo and Shigurui don't have that much in common.
Neither of those things goes away IIRC. The high brightness is, from what I've seen so far, kind of a trademark of the director of the show. As for fights, if Champloo goes into usual territory of badass warriors fighting 20 guys at once, Shigurui does the opposite thing and decides almost every duel with one/two strikes/pompously named techniques. So don't expect any elaborate fight choreography like in Champloo or its ilk.
Embrace vending machine throwing as a token of friendship.

I feel like it's more of them making a statement
Triage X Episode 4:
It is still Triage X and I doubt that will ever change, at least this time they tried to tell an actual story driven by actual emotions instead of the edgelord drivel that is usually shoveled down our throats with great hilarity. Indeed as such I was actually mildly invested in the proceedings in spite of this all being one big idiot plot. Speaking of tropes, I suppose you can guess how this ends but I suppose the question is which cliche are they using,
Also, no matter how hard they try, the medical terms standing in for edgy death will always make me laugh.

Did they bury their gays, have redemption equal death or is the ninja still alive since they never found the body?

Yes please. Can't wait to get the BDs when they come out over here.

The one silver lining in that article is that Sunrise states that "they are too busy with a certain anime franchise that has been running for many years".
I hope it stays that way.

I'm sure the treasure trove that is Gundam will manage to deliver something not insulting and awful*

No more batoru?
No more tanoshi?
No more suffering?
:<
AOTY
Slighly more serious impression:
The S2 slightly weaker than S1 simply because lack of BATORU and to much focus on pure evil instead delicious despair. That being said. It simply one hell of ride. Much more exciting than other "girl suffering" like madoka. Okada, please make more
Welcome to the club.
Thank you. I think I will enjoy my stay in Ikebukuro.

Personally I'd rather they just step away from Gundam and just make a new Brave series or something.
I'd rather we see a more traditional super robot show from them, unlikely as that is. Something like that cancelled sequel to GaoGaiGar FINAL.
Or better yet, a super robot Gundam Series based off the Tryon 3.

I think I'll give Wixoss a try
You can still discuss it, just dont call attention to it. Obviously several people here watch stuff like Precure and Hyouka wasnt even simulcast nor does it have a release in the west. Think about that for a bit..
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
if they kill off Vivi though I will be furious

I don't know what Sunrise is planning. We'll probably get another original series like Buddy Complex (lol) or Valvrave soon that no one will remember in a year. In fact they probably have one lined up for next season that I have forgotten existed before it even had a chance!
But I agree, going back to make an older series would be cool. It's just when I read that it's a franchise that has "been running for many years" my mind immediately jumps to Gundam, for a good reason. And they are surely making another one of those.

I like Ryuji and all, but sometimes I REALLY want to punch that guy.
Time to blitz the final four.

How far are you? It keeps getting better. Including X2.
YES
Aside from that dick kick of an ending Mai Hime was pretty good. It was all undone though which is shameful.

Please post that impression soon while I'm at work, to distract me, I can't wait to read it..
Also, Clannad is on Hulu! The commercials there are not nearly as bad as Crunchyroll.
What I would love to see from that front is the Hime Vs Otome movie -joke they did once, where Arika was supposed to be the villain. I really liked the idea of someone bubbly and ditzy like her being also a magnificently evil mastemind.

Are you talking about this? The new anime original they announced a while back called Mirai Arise which seems to be scheduled for 2016.
I mean it does look interesting though, artstyle wise.
That's what I'm saying, its looking pretty decent.
The struggle to buy the anime lol, luckily CR and Hulu are great places to find anime. Netflix is pretty weak though.
Its not that Wixoss is decent. Its actually quite bad. but its MARI OKADA bad and that means a lot!

Netflix has a few gems. Fate/Zero and Psycho Pass namely.

Whenever I come on I always see someone talking about Cross Ange. Should I have watched it? I just never know when people are legitimately enjoying a show or being sarcastic about it

THIS IS WHAT I MEAN LMFAO. All of these could be the same thing a friend of mine did to me when I didn't know best, and watched School Days as a recommendation of his.

Cross ange has such hateful characters in it that its fun watching them destroy each other.
However it also has Ange's servant Momoka and Vivian who are both fun cuties and the only characters who arent insufferable bitches.

Or even better, Gurren Lagann and Madoka.
Unless they've removed those since I last checked.
