The (not BL but) Anime Thread

[Red]

Just think everyone having a wiener and you're ok.
It is a good show, something that should not be missed, with lots and lots of classical.

Finished watching FMA: Brotherhood.

9.6/10

Clannad is about family, Little Busters is about friends, and Angel Beats is about the chances we deserved to have but lost tragically.

And despite all of their general imperfections the one thing they are perfect in are conveying those themes masterfully. And I nearly cry everytime.

Jun Maeda and Key are geniuses pure and simple.

Only animes that have made me shed a tear or two, are Kanon 2006, Little Busters: Refrain and Clannad ~After Story~, and coincidentally those are all Key adaptions. They're masters at making good, yet poignant drama. Best drama anime/visual novel industry has to offer. They're like Naughty Dogs of Visual Novels: Talented and experienced. Cannot wait for Charlotte, it ought to be good. Glad they're still in the business.

Charlotte could crash and burn for all I know, but given their track record I'd think it's safe to say the one thing it will certainly have is a powerful and solid theme that sets up its potential.

So here's the list of anime I've watched in the past 2 years

Madoka Magica: 8.5/10
No. 6: 10/10
Cowboy Bebop: 7.6/10
Disgaea: 6.8/10
Fate Zero: 8.1/10
Psychopass Season 1: 9.9/10
Kuroko no Basuke: 8.3/10
Free!: 8.8/10
Shingeki no Kyojin: 7.5/10
Sword Art Online: 5.9/10
Hellsing: 7.4/10
Anohana: 7.1/10
Sekai Ichi Hatsukoi: 9.5/10
Junjou Romantica: 6.6/10
Higurashi: 9.4/10
Love Stage!: 8.2/10
Psychopass Season 2: 6.3/10
Parasyte: 8/10
Fate Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works: 8.4/10
Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood: 9.6/10

I consider anything I rated above 9 to be a gem. The two big turds in the list are SAO and Psychopass: Season 2. However, I don't really watch anime that I dislike, so everything on this list was still an interesting experience at least.

Just finished Nagi no Asukara, many cries were cried with my face.

Solid 8/10

Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso - 9.0

The ending lead me thinking a few things more I did not remember to equate to the sum:
-Comedy, which worked, but only at times.
-Not cliche, but neither strong dialogue.
-The music; there could've been so much potential, especially as this is a musical. However, it sticked with the most overused songs from Chopin and little from Bach - most of the songs were from Chopin, albeit there could've been sonatos from Beethoven or Mozart, from other famous composers. Strange how a show like this doesn't focus more on its own element.
-Predictability. I've never seen a show as predictable as this; you can actually deduce the epilogue from the first episodes alone.

I cried like a girl yestarday, regardless. Very good show, I'd recommend watching, and not only because its a musical, but if you like to watch a story about characters wearing their big, messy hearts on their sleeves.

Edvy is like my favourite FMA pairing now.
