wat is Nui even trying to shush me for tbh

What did you have in mind for next?

 

You should just watch some of the classics. There's probably a few of the cult classics you have yet to see.

[Isichar]

Oooooh Planetes, yeah I really liked that one.

[Khayness]

But maybe something light hearted will do next. So I'm going for Planetes.

 

Yeah, light hearted all right.

 

It's still full of crying later on, you copy?

[mhmbaSR1]

For Garden of Words I don't think it will blow you away or anything (actually the animation will, but you've seen enough of Shinkai's films to expect that already) but for a 45 minute anime, its worth checking out.

 

Well, sounds like I have a few things to check out myself. A good romance is one of my favorite guilty pleasures. I'll check out Aoi Hana after I finish the one I'm currently watching now. I've been watching Chihayafuru which is a sports/romance anime and I love it (so much that it will probably end up being one of my top 10 favorite animes). One of the main male characters reminds me a bit of Kanae from from 5 Centimeters, which is kind of depressing actually, because like Kanae from 5 centimeters hes my favorite and I get the impression the girl he loves is completely oblivious to it and only seems interested in a guy she has not even talked to in years.. That said it has one of the more mature and well handled love triangles (which is something I usually despise) I've seen in a story, and the group dynamic is amazing.

 

if you do end up watching aoi hana, be sure to read the manga afterwards. neither are very long, and both have finished running.

Spoiler

beware though, the ending of the anime is low on closure value, so the manga is a must read if you get attached to the characters and want to know how things really turn out. there are lots of different characters and they all have their own story, but sometimes you will be wishing the story focused more on fumi-chan and ah-chan, who make up the main potential couple.

let me know what you think if you ever get around to watching the anime and/ reading the manga!

 

hmm a romance series you would put in your top ten overall? that has a character similar to kanae? well I will put that on my to-do list! and just a quick question, is the story of chihayafuru more plot based or not? I just wanted to know if I should expect a little sports with romance, or a little romance with sports

 

and I can't believe how many anime/manga romances I have seen that have this unrequited love polygon thing going on! its like everybody loves someone that loves somebody else, and everyone ignores their admirer because they think their love is different... ugh, cliché and depressing

 

*edit: why didn't someone tell me about planetes? a sci-fi that has character development and themes? come on that fits my criteria perfectly!

[Khayness]

Oh...

 

Well, do you mean crying as in Clannad feels crying or as in

 

"And who, are you the proud Lord said? That I must bow so low?"

 

Orrrrr...

 

Cowboy Bebop's "bang" kind of crying?

 

Well whatever it is, as long as it's good, and the first episode left me with a really good impression.

 

The characters will do all the crying, don't worry.

More of you need to read this series.

So far its been 50-50, but I'm only 1/3 through the series atm so take what I say with a grain of salt. Most of the character and plot development has occurred through the sport. What I like about it is you can really see every characters strengths, weaknesses and overall personalities based on how they play the game, and you don't really need to know the sport well to understand whats going on, they explain the rules and strategy enough for you to follow it. Personally I'm just in it for the romance, I never was huge on sports myself, but at the same time I am really enjoying how well they are able to expand on the characters just by playing Karuta.

 

BTW I didn't mention Planetes for 1 reason... I completely forgot about it   I use to watch tons of anime with my sister and a buddy like 10 years ago and that was one of them, there's a bunch of titles I watched I doubt I would even be able to recognize right away now. Oddly enough its my same friend from way back when that has recently gotten my addicted to anime again

 

 

@SimfamSP

 

Most the people I talk to that hate anime have not actually watched a whole ton and a lot of time judge anime based on what they see on western TV which is unfair imo. Personally I don't think its fair to hate on any storytelling medium as a whole. I get that anime has certain tropes people can find outputting, but its still pretty silly to believe that all anime is bad as a result or something that is just for kids based on what plays over here.

 

My dads one of those people who never saw anime as anything more then kids shows for merchandising, probably because of all the shows like Pokemon, Digimon and so on that I watched when I was younger

 

Oh well, their loss.

 

@Heirophant

 

Actually I've been thinking about reading that for a few months now. I think I may pick it up soon.

well it sounds like it would be an interesting series, I don't mind sports but I don't think I would watch something that has it as the main focus. but if they use it as a way to expand the characters and develop relationships then I would probably enjoy it.

 

and no hard feelings I was just joking  and just think, if your friend wouldn't have gotten you re-addicted to anime, I wouldn't be addicted to anime. not that its a bad thing, actually I think its a good thing

 

@simfamSP @isichar from my experience people write off stuff not from their own culture. there are plenty of works of art from other places in the world, but there's this sense of ethnocentricity that makes people discard any opinion but their own (or one that reinforces their opinion)... so if its not from here or isn't considered something 'western' culture grew from, then it doesn't get the acclaim it should

and with animation the limit of the show is the limit of your imagination. that's why a well done anime will outstrip a well done live action american show any day of the week in my opinion.

Its definitely satisfied me so far. I have been watching it alongside another anime called Texhnolyze, which has almost the exact opposite kind of atmosphere and tone, I kind of enjoy the balance of dark and moody with colorful and romantic lol.

 

No worries, I didn't take the comment as a serious complaint. When I think about it I actually watched a lot of animes as a kid so there's bound to be a few that would have completely slip out of my mind until they are mentioned. Its kind of cool in a way, I like how you can get a bunch of suggestions and still come across hidden gems that are exactly what you were looking for later on. It goes to show just how much anime is out there. I've been hardcore into anime for about 5ish months now and I still run across things I've never heard mentioned that when I watch or read I end up falling in love with. It really helps fuel the addiction when you can constantly keep finding so much that keeps you interested. My list of things to watch just keeps getting longer instead of shorter with each anime I watch (SimfamSP understands ) I would say its a good thing, assuming you enjoy the addiction as much as I do 

 

I agree, but it mostly does come down to opinion and preference. I like the creativity, I also like that many animes are capable of dealing with a lot mature themes better then I (usually) see in other mediums. I think every medium has had stories that could not have worked as effectively in another kind of medium. I get that anime just does not appeal to some peoples preferences, it also has a lot of its own tropes that can be really annoying and off putting.

 

 

@SimfamSP

 

To be fair your also cherry picking from a fairly extensive medium you didn't have much experience with previously. If you keep an eye on the animes that air each season, I would say there's just as much generic animes as there are TV shows. Ive watched a bunch of new ongoing shows but so far Kill La Kill was the only one that I loved in this last season. Its just like anything else, you get a few great titles each year but most of it is meh.

 

Thats one reason I'm happy I forgot about anime for so long and rediscovered it, I have no shortage of the good ones to keep me entertained now.

well.. Legend of Korra Book 3: Netherlands is coming out soon.

I still have to watch book 2. I've been putting it off because a friend told me it was not that great though, and I trust his tastes.
