Ah well I can understand the need/desire to short cut but I'd be careful when doing it with fanart/fanworks. If there is a remotely attractive girl (or even guy though to a much lesser degree) in a show an/or the show is just popular in general, you can expect the lewd to flow. That's Rule 34 for you. And it isn't even restricted to anime/Japanese media/Japanese artists (glares at large amounts of Steven Universe porn all over the internet as a recent example......) but as someone who has used the internet for more than one week, I assume I'm not telling you much you don't already know.

Well you can read the manga.

Amagami SS also likes to explore alternative, ahem, displays of physical affection. It's trashier than MGX though.

Trashy? Thats not really a word I'd use to describe Amagami. Its pretty damn wholesome. Well for anime.

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.

It's an adaptation of a dating sim.

It is, by definition, trash.

Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu- 1

This was excellent, looked up Rakugo right before I watched it and wondered if they could pull it off and they did. The characters are pretty good so far, some nice interactions. Yotarou has a lot of a passion and his first performance was pretty good, shame the second performance went so bad. Nonetheless, looking forward to where he goes from here. Konatsu turned out different than I expected, but not in a bad way it all. She’s an interesting character and I like how she befriended and helped out Yotarou. Looking forward to her performing as well and how she will deal with her inner turmoil. Yakumo is an intriguing one too, with his unexplained past. I know he is portrayed as a master and it shows by the way they visualized his performance but I actually liked Yotarou’s more. Interesting characters, setting, and some very fitting music, made for a great start, hope the rest of the episodes are too.

Just made a search of all the recommendations on Google and...sorry, but they all seem too...."bright" for me. The kind of gloomy and awkward style shown by the main character in MGX was the main thing I loved, is something wrong with me?.

I will give Tasogare Otome x Amnesia an honest shot, though. Simply because it's the less..."cheery" looking one, even if as it was said, it's not really a romance story.

Aku no Hana broooo

A pretty dumb way to define things. Might as well call all anime based on manga trashy too because of Prison School and Maken-ki.

Life is too short for nuance.

You need to watch Flowers of Evil (on Crunchyroll!) ASAP.

Maybe White Album 2 would be gloomy enough.

Hmm, i don't know, i like the basic plot (bunch of young kid transferred into new world and can't adapt), but the dialogue is so damn light novel. Background art is so damn pretty though.

The romance story isn't the central aspect but you can bet your ass that it's a decently big B story to the horror and mystery.
 
Garo the Animation 4

This is how to do an episodic story within a larger narrative. I especially liked how the story subtly underlined and paralleled the desire for revenge between Alois and Leon.

Prince of Stride - 02

If last week was full of style and flair, this week was full of cute boys doing cute things. It's more than love.

It's kind of stupid and that's kind of why I will keep watching it.

Haha, well, you aren't wrong. Though to be fair, most of what I'm referring to was straight from the manga. It wasn't straight up porn, but it was obvious pandering, albeit not to the degree of, say, Food Wars.

At any rate, I'll go watch that first episode, now.

Despite the VA cast and Shaft being my favorite studio I've never been into -monogatari, but "guest animators: both Yoshinaris" finally got my thirst going.

In the past few years I've seen people here watch Wolf's Rain, Skull Man, Kino's Journey, and various other old gems that have fallen through the cracks. But have any of you considered stuff like Key the Metal Idol or Fantastic Children? My name is duckroll, and I'm here to spread the good news, will you stay a while and listen?

But you always spread bad news.

Though you did remind me to watch Wolf's Rain.

Fantastic Children is on my backlog accountability list with Narag!
 
Daisuki is worse than Funi, honestly. CR destroys both, but Daisuki's player is garbage even compared to Funi's.

I agree with this. I tried watching One Punch Man on the site but the player is so bad it makes it difficult to enjoy the great animation.

Funimation may do some crappy stuff regarding show dates and bad colouring, but at least their player works.
