Awe hell no, that is a GOOD show that's a lot of fun to watch!


Now on YLiA, well....... It's basically been myself and Psycho defending it's honor, lol.

It was polarizing at least, I remember seeing a bunch of people who both loved it and hated it.

I recall it coming out... getting praised and praised and praised to the point that even though i was for the most part enjoying the show I was baffled how so many people thought it was the best thing ever.

and then the second wave of people started watching after basically being told that YLiA was the third coming of anime and that they would be wowed into a state of pure amazement and those people came off far less positive, but over all most people in here still seemed to think that it was a really good show.

I suppose at the very least it didn't end up in the top 10 for AOTY on either list it could be on, so perhaps it turned fully sour after all the praising.

 

[PshycoNinja]

Damn fu(king right, same for Plastic Memories, Angel Beats, Kanon(2006), Air, Etotama, Your Lie in April, and especially Sword Art Online, lol.

Dude... It's like we are on the same wavelength.

I don't recall animegaf disliking you lie in april, I recall people praising it to no end.

I remember divisiveness. I remember because I got really caught up in it that I had to take a break for a while from here.

Now on YLiA, well....... It's basically been myself and Psycho defending it's honor, lol.

I never understood why people didn't like it tbh. It always seemed to me something I thought most people here would enjoy. I know I did. Second favorite anime ever.

Yeah... pretty much.

It was #1 on my list last year, that's for sure, but it usually gets crapped on when people watch it now because the "tone whiplash" destroys everything"

Hand Shakers Episode 1

Lol, this was something else, didn't manage to finish it. I didn't like the visuals at all, and wtf was with the camera constantly moving in almost every scene, and who thought that was a good idea.

Wtf at that first pic.

Even if you're not bothered by them, surely you can at least recognize the massive mood swings in Your Lie in April. Hopefully you can understand why some people would be put off by panty pervert jokes interrupting what's supposed to be a scene of gentle beauty or violent comedic slapstick coming in the middle of extremely serious stories of child abuse.

ACCA Episode 1:

Holy shit did this come out of nowhere but yea this, Rakugo Season 2 aside, the best episode I have seen this season and a genuine great episode filled with style and maturity, recommended.

LOL, let's not go down this road because most anime sites have both Clannad and YLiA in the top 10-20 of all-time (Clannad usually in the top 10-15) and everyone hates it here, so......

I just smile and wave because obviously every site out there is run by Key Shadow councils that fix the vote and all anime casuals are useless..

I watched the first GiTS movie last month, lol

And yeah, I've only been watching for two years so.....

nagisa and the main character still have no charisma though

but yeah the ghost in the shell movies aren't all that good you should watch the tv series

Most people hate it because they went with the wrong girl at the end obviously.

eh.... the best choice of a bunch of horrible choices still isn't a very good choice

I mean I can totally get people not loving clannad, it's a chore to get through the first half of the series before you get to the good stuff.

the cast isn't very good (still leaps and bounds better than the worst key cast of kannon 2006 though)

but once it gets going the plot is really really good that not even a crappy cast can drag it down.

plus at least nagisa's father is fun.... like the only fun character... but still at least he is fun.

NANBAKA Episode 15 – Super Hitoshi-kun

The tea scene was my favorite, though also some of Hajime and Hitoshi's moments in the chase. I missed the comedy gold Nanbaka standard.

 

[Jex]

I'm not interested in watching Hand Shakers myself but I am genuinely impressed by how terrible it looks. I've become numbed to poorly composed, terribly lit, over-processed anime to the point where it doesn't even register me for when I scroll through impressions of random shows. Not so with Hand Shakers.

Whenever I see a screen or a gif from Hand Shakers I find myself compelled to study the intricacies of the image. To marvel at the mad mind that could have created it. It's like they considered every single element of the image, and out of all the possible choices they only selected the worst ones. It's just so fascinating. It feels like I'm being sucked into the abyss.

I tried, but I couldn't go further at the halfway mark. I hated it despite my love for classical pieces played. This was probably the farthest I watched a show before dropping it.

Spoiler

Kyou was best choice, I agree, Xia!

I guess that's okay...

I really liked One Punch Man, My Love Story, Assassination Classroom, and Parasyte. So I cant fault you on that. But Your Lie in April was still the best show that year.

I mean I'll give hand shakers that for certain shots there's some incredible amount of animation on screen as they pan through people walking and school kids chatting but god the blending just isn't where it needs to be.

Ushio's death was easier to see coming but hit me a lot harder than Nagisa's death. That said Nagisa's death hit me pretty hard because I got so attached to her character. And since I knew Tomoya's character I was gutted because I knew what she meant to him.

So the only cheer from me was

Spoiler

when they all reunited.

;,)

I find myself with Your Lie in April getting

Spoiler

sad seeing how characters dealt with her death.

I mean obviously I was

sad about her dying (too young), but seeing how Kosei deal with it was heartbreaking.

Damn... I think a rewatch of both is in order!

I liked Your Lies in April but thought it was too melodramatic and the MC was easy to hate. That said, it had one of the best soundtracks in the last 5-10 years. Its amazing.

the daughters death hit me a little harder because it's after nagisa's death that the main character actually becomes somewhat interesting. and then to watch him suffer again was actually depressing.

btw if you haven't watched Nana, you should totally watch Nana

This ends with you watching every episode.

I'll be honest - there was a period in my anime watching career where that was definitely true, but I'm tragically low on time at present so that's just not going to happen.

Is this how Hand Shakers ends up as AOTY in 2017? It's such a visual assault on a person's rational mind that we all go down the rabbit hole and become consumed by it's pure and unfiltered clustered mess of art that we learn to appreciate it as The Room of our times?

ACCA - 01

This has been interesting enough to continue it, for now. The setting is original, and the dialogue and actions of the characters are well thought, you could guess some things before they were said explicitly if you were attentive.

I feared this was too much SoL for me to like, but it seems they are already building up something more (why one of the bosses is interested in him, making being monitored? apart from the coup d'etat warning). Also I expect a bit of character drama thrown in there.

I wouldn't call a drama about the bureaucracy of a country and it's role with a ton of foreshadowing that conflict and a coup are brewing as slice of life, not even with a workplace setting. Even the scenes with the main character smoking are there to set up future events.
