The Anime Thread

[Tomoe Hotaru]

That would actually be awesome if you can send me a link. If you can message it to me that would be perfect and thank you so much

And yes that drives me crazy with the movie trailers. They will have a super funny joke that makes you want to watch a movie and that ends up being the funniest thing in the whole movie which you saw for free.

I never actually thought about that - the "when" you watch something part. It actually makes way more sense why I like such random things that other people don't - or why certain movies are my favourites. Now I'm starting to think about everything I like. I know there's one CD I love that most people don't really know and that's because I used to listen to it while I played N64. That's crazy to think about now.

Yeah it?s fascinating right? When we watch something is more important than what it is. If you don?t see a Disney movie as a child, you won?t become very attatched to it when seeing it later in life. If you see a concept for the first time, it blows you away even if that?s actually a common trope. If you have a good or bad experience while consuming something, you will relate those two things etc.

Also I?m terribly sorry for only seeing this reply now. I sent you a PM (✿❛ ֊ ❛„)

SOME BODY ONCE TOLD ME

my personal favorite anime is Drake and Josh.

The Project Oprah and Escape From Treehouse arcs were pitch perfect. You couldn't ask for a more faithful adaptation of the manga! Though I'm not a fan of the tragic ending, with Josh not inviting Drake to his wedding even after all they'd been through together.

I watched the most recent episode of My Hero Academia today.

Spoiler

So we got to see the rescue missions and what they are like for the exam with the top schools competing against each other, and there were some pretty funny bits as well. I have to say it was nice seeing Midoriya almost saying, “It’s fine now. Why? Because I am here.” The problem is, he only said “It’s fine now” and got deducted in points. I guess he cannot technically say the whole thing or doesn’t want to because he would be copyrighting All Might, xD. We also got confirmation that Uraraka has set aside her feelings for Midoriya in order to focus on becoming a great hero like him. I saw that that would happen kind of when I was reading Youtube comments, but it’s interesting to see what she will be able to do now nonetheless.

I’m probably going to start Black Clover tomorrow once I’m moved in and settled. I’ll do the standard three episodes rule and then drop it if I don’t like it. If I do drop it though, I probably will not watch any new animes for a bit since I’ll be focused on school.

The new Hataraku Saibou ep. hit rly close to home LOL.

 

[Milleram]

Lol I figured people would just recommend what they are watching - didn't realize I was being so vague

When I had mentioned cute I was thinking more of the style - like more cartoon looking rather than real people looking (I love like the kawaii style if that makes any sense). I'm def looking for an anime with a great story line that I can follow as the episodes go on rather than mindless comedy. When it comes to fantasy - I do love the stories when it's a normal person and they discover they have powers (like Harry Potter in that sense) - but either one is fine. It's really the story line that I'm after and I love Drama, Romance and Adventures (fantasy and normal)

If it helps I love the stories behind: Harry Potter, Avatar the Last Airbender, Princess Mononoke (I also noticed with your question about aimed to children or adults that most of the stories I love - the shows have been aimed towards kids)

Hopefully this helped and my blathering didn't make it more confusing

If you enjoyed Harry Potter, you should definitely check out Little Witch Academia. Some aspects of the story and universe definitely reminded me of Harry Potter. Also, the art style is very cartoony, some characters more than others, but definitely not overly realistic. There are two short films and a 25-episode series. I would recommend you watch the two films first, but it's not entirely necessary. Hope you enjoy! ^_^

That?s a good suggestion! To be honest I enjoyed the movies more than the series but both had very cute moments^^

I personally really love RWBY. I just watched Adam’s character short yesterday and I can’t wait for the next volume! I’m actually a little behind (I missed volume 3 oops) so I still need to get caught up! However I have seen every volume other than 3.

Another favorite anime of mine is Tokyo Ghoul. I LOVE it to pieces. Another one close to my heart is Wolf’s Rain, as it was the first anime I properly watched (not counting Pokemon or Yugio lmao). Fullmetal Alchemist is also special to me.

My current favorite however is Castlevania on Netflix. Absolute perfection right there, but it is gory and has mature language. So if that isn’t for you, I don’t recommend it.

Did you get to read the manga? I think they messed up season 2 so bad that they ended up making it non-canon because season 3 would have had to be altered too...

Also I have heared great things about the Castlevania anime and I do want to check out Wolf?s Rain eventually *even though what I have seen looked very tragic so I don?t know if I could like it..*

 

[Tomoe Hotaru]

ugh double-post glitch again...

 

[Snowesque]

My actually favorite "anime" is the movie Princess Mononoke, the message of that movie really resonates with me. All the Ghibli movies are very up there for me.
As for actual episodic anime, Serial Experiments Lain is one I always come back to for the same reasons and it's portrayal.

Haha, I actually agree. I too enjoyed the movies more than the actual series. XD

Oh, and regarding Wolf's Rain, I thought it was a pretty good series. The plot was quite interesting, there was some character development, and although there were definitely sad parts, I was still quite satisfied with the ending. I definitely say it's worth watching. ^_^

 

[Midoriya]

So I watched the first six episodes of Black Clover, and while the premise is interesting, the first three episodes are just background on the characters mostly, and episodes four, five, and six, while having action scenes in them, the battles are kind of lame so far because they end in two moves. It’s not back-and-forth like good anime battles. However, I feel like the anime suffers from a slow start, so I’m going to continue watching it to see where it goes. Also because I tend to be interested in things a lot of other people aren’t, and I need to watch mediocre animes like this one so I can appreciate the good ones. Looking forward to seeing where they take this from here on out.
