Finished Yoake Mae Yori Ruri Iro Na -Crescent Love-. It was predictable, silly, unrealistic and unchallenging with a ridiculous conclusion leading to a super happy romantic ending. Which is just what the doctor ordered. Enjoyed it, 7/10

\o/ Time for you to help keep this thread then alive:

I heartily approve your new signature Serious question though, do you think editing the game has spoilt your ability to enjoy it since you've had to examine 2 routes so carefully? Just as a reference point, I have not found that when translating a game, even if takes me more than 10x longer to get through the route.

お年を召されて Gotten old あなたは、いえあなたの血族 You, no, your blood relatives (not the other way around that you have it).

It's pretty standard princess fare. I doubt very much the VN is challenging or dramatic in any way shape or form. The anime is pretty much stock standard moe and easy to watch. I definitely don't agree with the OP that it's the best thing ever but it's cute to watch like I said. EDIT: Nihonreview which is harsh with its reviews didn't think much of it.. http://www.nihonreview.com/anime/yoake-mae-yori-ruri-iro-na-crescent-love/

I keep reciting lines from Macbeth when it suits... and I studied Macbeth only once in high school over 30 years ago.

I started watching it after your recommendation here: It's very cute and I'm enjoying it so far. Nabatame as Voice Actress helps too since I have a soft spot for her from playing Yuma in ToHeart2.

Didn't work for me but my taste doesn't cross over completely to all the kids around here half my age.

Rezero 7 remains awesome and goes up even a notch further. Plot unfolding, things explained, characters fleshed out, action well animated. Nothing to complain about.

No I'm a linux kernel and bitcoin hacker primarily. My VN interest is purely on the translation side. While I have a translation project of my own (ToHeart2), I did very little programming on it, being the translator for it and other groups' projects (currently Clover Day's).

As both a fellow programmer and possibly the only other forum member your age, I welcome you and wish you luck.

Wow I've been watching Tanaka kun with barely a grin till now. Now that it's turned into a romcom of sorts, last week I had a good grin and this week I had a huge belly laugh like I haven't had in ages. Great stuff.

Thank you all very much for your recommendations. There are some there that I hadn't considered and that's a great thing. There are some that I've read reviews that say the romance is never resolved; unfortunately the one thing I can't stand is a romance that never evolves but should. If no one ever confesses or proposes or whatever after 24000 episodes, I want to rip my eyeballs out. I've already bad things about some of those but I should know better than to trust one review. Regarding your specific recommendations: Nozaki kun - I watched one episode and read that the romance never resolves and put it down ages ago Kimi ni todoke - have put this on and off the backburner numerous times due to reviews and possible story issues Princess Jellyfish - have considered this in the past, will look into Chihayafuru - will investigate Honey and Clover - on my dropped will never finish list. Hated it Itazura - not a fan of nasty protagonists so have avoided but will investigate. Cold is okay, nasty is not Da Capo - will investigate Kimikiss - will investigate Kaichou wa maid sama - will watch Special A - will watch Emma - will investigate Fortune Aerial - will investigate Working!! - my reference comedy romance show ever, have watched 5 times with my wife already. Went looking for what else the same mangaka has done and she wrote servant x service which is pretty good but incomplete and is writing my monster girl which may get animated, so w00t to more from her. Lucky Star - hrm Keroro Gunsou - will try watching. I never watch dubs, ever Ookami Shoujo to Kuro Ouji - hate nasty protagonists so was put off this one numerous times in the past Thanks again! Given my updated information if you find you want to retract any of these recommendations, please do. Especially the part about a show that's primarily a romance that never actually succeeds.

I've updated the link in the top post with an actual username and it should work now. Thanks, I'll put shuffle low on the priority list then.

Thanks, some are on my list already. Love Hina was the first romcom I ever watched and have seen it dozens of times so not new Fruits basket I got bored of I'm afraid, it was too old school and slow and I stalled on it. Maybe I should resume it. Isn't Ouran a pretty boy series and not romance? I'm not sure. I'll investigate the rest thanks!

I love romantic comedy. Or plain romance. Or plain comedy. Or action mecha demon magic intrigue political historical futuristic ecchi anything that has either romance or comedy in it. However it must have a happy ending. But I'm in a bind. I want to watch more old stuff but I've watched too much anime, and all that's left does a bad job at combining any of the above. I'm not much of a fan of really dark themes. So I'm looking for recommendations that will meet the above criteria that are good and above - by that I mean would rate a minimum of 7/10. I'm even open to the idea of restarting something I've dropped if it ended up being better than I originally anticipated. I'm not a fan of anime older than about 2000 unless they're exceptional. My watched list is unfortunately incomplete but the size of it should give you an idea of what I have watched. Notably, a lot of dropped shows never made it on the list. So here it is: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/MyAnime/?user=Ittaku&categ=3 Thanks in advance. よろしくお願いします

There's no accounting for taste. Sure there are some things that just don't agree with some people, but I agree with you on this, almost everything conducted in it was done badly. Like I said, I have a soft spot for one of the VAs and that's about it. Note I had to revise when I realised it was actually bottom 5 not 10, and some of the stuff I hated more it was just stuff that pissed me off rather than it was badly made.

I just checked my list of watched shows and of shows I've watched to the end I've rated it in the worst 5 of 300, so it's not like I'm saying it's good in any way...

It's quite amazing how differently we viewed this show. I doubt our tastes are so vastly dissimilar that we came out with such different views. I suspect they more likely represent what state of mind we were in that time and place when we watched them and perhaps I'd have viewed it very differently if I was at a different stage of life. One thing we do agree on, Kanon2006 was much better - in my case infinitely better because I consider that one a masterpiece whereas I consider clannad hype laden yawnfest. 24. Another World: Tomoyo Chapter was the OVA episode I liked btw I looked it up.

ZnT is annoying because it's inconsistent. It has some great moments and... fortunately a happy ending which I can't live without, but it's obvious it changes partway due to the original author dying and the second half of the series created by the animators entirely. One thing that seemed obvious that should have happened in the story but didn't was, major spoiler...

Nah I've seen much much worse though rarely do I make it to the end. My mistake was sitting through it all though, but that may have been for Naou Toyama as VA... I have a soft spot for any show that has one of the myriad of VAs that I like.

Finished No-Rin and Mahou Sensou. No-Rin was okay. Mahou Sensou was meh. Onto K-On2 with my wife; it's not so bad on rewatch. By myself I'm still slowly ploughing through Cardcaptor Sakura which has surprisingly been refreshing even if it's still quite childish. On the NagiAsu front

I hated Clannad in anime form. I gave up the TV series after an episode was dedicated to weeding. Then I found myself in the fansub group that subbed afterstory and hated it even more. What drivel. EDIT: Actually I helped translate check one of the alternate universe OVAs too where he ends up with one of the other girls and actually liked that one episode standalone.

Not.
