Kyoroto Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Mashiroiro Symphony... spoils Am I the only one that didn't see the chosen girl coming in the anime? I loved how the anime seemed to go by the point of view of the Red hair girl by the end, and then the MC chooses someone else. Maybe it's just how I perceived it, but regardless, it impressed me and left a lasting impression on me I enjoyed it a lot~ The anime really made me want to play the VN, since I wasn't too satisfied with the ending of the anime. Nevertheless the anime adaptation was still pretty good and got me hooked till the end. Quote
Fred the Barber Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Can anybody recommend any anime similar to Nagi no Asukara (lots & lots of character interactions, drama, love triangles, beautiful visuals/ost) I haven't seen Nagi no Asukara, but from the description of what you're looking for, the show that pops into my head is Ef: A Tale of Memories (and the second half, "Melodies" as well, I guess, though I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as "Memories").

Fred the Barber Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 I think most of (what I've seen of) Nosebleed's list is good stuff as well, and I'll second Kimi ni Todoke especially (like he said: it nails everything you asked for, including really unique and gorgeous visuals), and also Toradora! (mostly for so much character interaction / drama, and in general fantastic characters; Ami is best girl). However... Shuffle! (I actually really liked the anime adaptation, except for the girl who won) On this particular one from the second list, Nosebleed and I have opposite taste. I loathed Shuffle!, but "the girl who won" was the only reason I kept on watching it until the bitter end (though by that time the writing had managed to make me even hate her). Eclipsed 1 Quote
XReaper Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 same goes by me, i absolutely wanted asa to win against the other gods and devils and whatever there else was lurking around. she felt the most natural to me and didnt behave like some over the top groupie. second was yandere chan, also quite cute Quote
Fred the Barber Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 All I really wanted from Shuffle! was for Rin to die in a fire, and then for everybody else in the show to suddenly come to their senses and realize that he was a zero-personality zombie to whom they somehow attributed positive qualities (or, really, any qualities at all). I should note that this feeling was probably, in part, due to my watching the dub, where he was played by Jerry Jewell, who should never, ever be employed as a voice actor, and especially not for a main character.

Eclipsed Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Thanks guys Looks like I'm picking up Kimi ni Todoke irrelevant: my lappy's HDD is down to 10GB LOL gotta start moving the completed stuff over to external >< Quote
XReaper Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 good choice, that one is in my personal hall of fame. sawako 4 president Quote
Kosakyun Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Looks like I'm picking up Kimi ni Todoke Quote
Ayana Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Just finished watching The Tale of Princess Kaguya with my entire family. It was probably the best animated movie I've ever seen. The whole experience deeply resonated with me, and the themes aligned with a lot of my personal values. My parents were actually very deeply moved by this film, as well. 11/10 movie.

I'm a bit behind on Ghibli movies, having not gotten around to watching The Wind Rises yet, so I hadn't picked this up yet, but a ridiculously positive review like that pushed me over the edge to order it from Amazon Quote
Abyssal Monkey Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 I don't think I've ever seen a Ghibli movie o.O at least not a recent one. I think my favorite movie recently was Patema Inverted Quote

One of my favorites. Quote

GetterEmperor Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Watching Martian Successor Nadesico and it's pretty great. Damn I miss you so much Gai ;_;. Quote

Ceris Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Well, it doesn't make a diffeerence. The first two movies are recaps that cover nearly everything cept 1 section of Mami's backstory (from what I can remember). The movies have better animation, artwork, and best of all, fucking amazing voice acting. I can't stress how much the already good voice acting got better. Eclipsed 1 Quote
Eclipsed Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 NEVARRR i gots my popcorn and homework and as soon as the movie's done DLing I'm watching it!@# Though, assuming that means you watched both, can you describe differences and whatnot / why I should watch the tv version first? edit: ohhaiceris Quote
Nosebleed Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Eh i watched the tv series first so the movies weren't a huge deal for me since the story's the same. Imo it's all a matter of preference. Movie has higher quality but the story is more crammed, but that also means they only focus on the essential parts. Tv series has a more spread out story so they can address everything although there's a lot of fluff too, imo the quality is still good because Based Shaft and Based Aoki Ume. Either way you'll end up watching the 3rd movie. Quote

Abyssal Monkey Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 You should watch the tv series before the movie .___. If I can remember correctly, the movies have the same effective run time as the anime. Personally I watched the anime when it was out, skipped the two movies and watched the third before eventually coming back to the first two. I always endorse going with source material due to what I like to call "purity of information". The source material is what the author originally envisioned at the time, and thus less outside influence. This is also why I prefer sub, but that's another argument which comes down to personal preference. Either way, Madoka was definitely the anime that finally made me get off my ass and start building my anime OST that I had been planning. Ohhhh is the OST good, it's the first time I truly felt the music wasn't just background noise or meant as an adrenaline booster, but rather added to the ambiance of the show. Quote
Deep Blue Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Still watching nichijou, not as funny as full metal fumoffu but really close, really love this anime. Quote
suikashoujo Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 I'm finally finishing the second half of the Little Busters anime. I don't know why I didn't do that when it was airing, but these things happen, I guess. At this point it's been long enough since I read the VN that it feels somewhat fresh again. Quote
