People who think Anohana is pretentious need to read the true ending. It's not all up in your ass about how clever it is.

Haha. I'm going to assume that stands for the show Kokoro Connect. I haven't seen that one yet. Okay, I was going to say it was something like last years Tari Tari but without the music angle and focusing more on the slice of life and relationship angst with a little bit of a supernatural element to it. It doesn't focus too much on that and it's really more just another tool or catalyst for the drama and interactions of the characters.
Okay, I was just wondering. Yeah, sometimes it wouldn't bother me to post more but I don't feel I have too much to add and that maybe the show is just fairly straightforward enough anyway.
Bonus question. If I were to start either Aria or Tamayura, which one would you recommend to go through first?
what was the true ending?
Show is kind of a mess from what I seen, i still need to finish it.
That said, this was the OP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhZNkvouvN0
And this is the ED: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lf96XZv_x5M
The ED is the best thing about it.
i thought that was aku no hana.
We truly need a PunPun anime so we can have a king of pretentiousness.

If you're willing to take the blue pill and see how far the rabbit hole goes I'm sure a brother here will hook you up. But it's not for those with weak constitution. It requires a passion for the arts.

This scares me and intrigues me both at the same time.
Aku no Hana is pretentious, but at least it has substance to back up its pretense. Plus it's thematically consistent with how the protagonist views the world.
Ano Hana is a stuffmonger in an "I <3 ANIME ^_^" tshirt, pacing the city square, yelling "FEELS! Get your FEELS here!" while selling Anaru figures on the side.
It's pretentious because it thinks we can be moved by the nostalgia of teenagers.
Ano Hana had like 2 decent episodes, after that it was love quadrangle and shitty key-tier drama.
Hisoka is love, Hisoka is life.
Hisoka is love, Hisoka is life.
i have to know.
Flowers of Evil is probably one of the most honest anime in a while. It may have an unconventional animation style, but it doesn't overreach in any way. It doesn't pretend to be something it's not. Now if you want to call the main character pretentious, that's fine, since that's sort of the point.

I will never look at Fairies the same way ever again.

Oh. My. God. Maybe it's time to go back to reading a book instead of watching anime.
I need to see this true ending of Ano Hana. Give it to me!!!!

Terrible movies with terrible generic anime cliches. Story progression is shit cuz they're mixed through the first few movies. No explanation what those mystic eyes of death perception are, no explanation why some people have supernatural abilities, what Shiki's family is, how she moved from her Japanese mansion to a flat. Why does she have 2 personalities and starts killing everyone. Major gaps in the plots that go unexplained, + going back and forth in the story all the time, to create the illusion of mystery and mindfucking the watcher, nothing wrong with that, but they always fail to deliver when the twists come to the climax. Utter failure of a format, some shows do it really good, this is a fine example of failure. Mikiya is the most bland and boring character in anime, doesn't have feelings, doesn't get angry, only shows smiles and irritating kindness.

We have truth seekers among us. Somebody with the link who is not on mobile pm them. Their eyes need to be opened and overpowered by the light. More wise blind sages shall join our ranks.
The power of Nasu.
5 is the only one that's especially good, and that's mostly because of the direction.
I enjoyed most of the Kara no Kyoukai films, but 5 is so far above the rest it's not even funny. Awesome movie.
Will I become a broken person by learning this truth? I read and survived PunPun, so I can handle depressing ass shit.

I'm not gonna play with you it's a comical nsfw pastebin text story. But I consider it the true ending. Many others do too.

I watched the first episode of Suite a while back, and it didn't do much for me, so I put it back in the backlog.

So far? Very confused, but who cares? Tits and ass for everyone! Now I just need them to shut up and bounce more.
I've been leaving this on the plate for far too long. Hitokage recommended it to me a while ago, and I just kept putting it off promising him I would. Now that he's gone, I feel awful for just stringing him along. I gotta make up for it, even if he can't see this...

You say unconventional, but to me that was just a visible sign of its pretension choosing that style.

Did Chet not get the memo of Duckroll's new laws around here?
It does add to the creepy/uncanny atmosphere the series has though. I think that might have been the point of the rotoscoping in the first place. I just can't see what's pretentious about it.

Probably a good choice since it meshes with HapCha rather well.
Big warning though. Fairies are cool... when they're not fairies. When they're fairies though.......
I did find it to be a pretty fun little show. Terrible western naming though.

Some poor storytelling in this episode. Woof. The attempt to give the opponent some depth fell flat on its face and then there was the mishandling of
A quick look at the manga suggests this episode's story was not in the manga. Apparently this episode written by the director of the series. Yikes. Luckily, it doesn't look like he did any more.

Misaki's psychological damage from her first loss in the previous episode. She had symptoms of PTSD and then everything was dandy by the end of the episode.

Wat?
You need to explain further, what's exactly is so pretentious about Madoka?
It just little girls not reading the non-existant fine print.
Yeah, that definitely was a problem. That and the long distance shots where they have no faces were pretty bad.

Shhhh.
I caught a bit of the dub and found it surprisingly amusing. Still haven't watched the show proper though.
