There's Kurenai's disgusting ending with its whole "child abuse is okay if a minor goes along with it" thing. It's one of the worst and most offensive endings I've ever seen in fiction.

I didn't like the ending either but I'm pretty sure the point of that was Murasaki electing to subvert the traditional system on her own terms using her experiences with Shinkuro as a stepping stone, but then maybe my memory is faulty.

Not that trusting a seven-year old with the responsibility of inserting herself back into a screwed-up situation to fix it without immediately being taken advantage of sounds like an idea anyone should roll with.

What certain Anime ending has made you feel like this.

To the point where you don't know what the hell to say.

Fucking god damn Mai-Hime!

Not an anime, but the manga Gunsmith Cats Burst can go be thrown in a fire after THAT ending.

I asked the Manga thread this but I'll ask it here too, just slightly reworded.

So what is the absolute worst cliche a writer can put in a romance series?
And I mean something infuriating enough to make you want to find them and punch them in the face.

I was watching a documentary called Side-by-Side (it's about Film vs Digital), and it's got me thinking is the traditional cel animation dead or is it still around like film?

Completely dead, the last hold out Sazae-san surrendered recently.

I can't think of anything made since maybe 2000 that hasn't been done digitally. I think Mahoromatic was the last traditional TV cel animated series? Thought there might be some movies I guess?

Completely braindead characters that can't realize their true feelings or can't express them, leading to terrible misunderstandings or pain when another person enters the picture.

Wait, that's the definition of romantic drama.

now that i think about it ichigo 100% might be the manga that 'corrupted' me. Someone had a jp shounen jump in middle school and i was just flipping through it and... miss santa outfits... Mizuki Kawashita god damn.

"Hello, my name is Harem Member No. 2145. I find you absolutely attractive and worthy of being a husband to any girl despite having no redeeming qualities, and I am privileged to be one of the select few that get to be close to you. We are together almost all the time, have helped each other plenty of times, and it's clear that in a theoretical relationship we would be more than compatible enough to make it work. It's clear from every interaction we've had together that my heart goes dokidoki at the mere thought of being with you the rest of my life, and you likely feel the same way. I get jealous when you get chummy with other girls, but inside I know that you're too timid to ever make a move on any of them, and all I'd need to do is say the word and we'd be in each other's arms and then some with no hesitation. Which is why I'm here today, as this situation would be perfect for me to confess my love to you, with nobody around, under the starlit sky, our breath visible in the cool winter air, the slight sound of cars and couples walking around in the late-night. So with that, I wanted to say...

...

...umumumum, just kidding."

MC: "Huh, she had me there for a second, wonder what that was all about..."
 
Kanojo ga flag wo Oraretara - 04
Man this show is stupid... but it's stupid in a good way
Kanojo%20ga%20Flag%20wo%20Oraretara%20-%2004.jpg

This remind me of hokoto no ken for some reason.
And that forshadowing is kinda impressive., i actually like the idea behind it. The concept of knight , bishop , magician kinda fits , even if it's no where near the level of a persona social link.

Overall i just can't hate this anime because of how intreting it manages to stay if you get past the stupidity.

issue is that genre can go from sailor moon to madoka to... maybe even saint seiya?

And won't sailor moon gets its own OT when the new show come about?

SM already has it's own community thread. And the thread for the new show would largely be for discussion of the new show.

Sorry i was too busy looking at the horizon , while sighing, what were you saying again ? mustn't have been that important .
Escuse me i must work on my lonely look.
 
Soul eater NOT! - 04

After Sdburton reaction and duckroll comments i expected the worse turn of events possible but it looks like the worse has been avoided. THANK GOD , or better THANK DEATH
Soul%20Eater%20Not%21%20-%2004.jpg

I'm thinking but i'm not sure witch has more memory ... tough choice !
Anyway, this episode focused on nothing except character fan service , showcasing a daily life in school and in the dorms that was intresting to see.

Tsugumi is just too pure for that
Ps: maka guest appearance was alright.
 
Millennium Actress

Boring as hell. Didn't find Chiyoko's story compelling at all and the director was damn annoying. Of the 3 Kon works I've seen, this is by far the weakest. Really not my kind of movie.

Soundtrack was pretty good though.
 
Haikyuu!! 04

DTL has such bad taste in characters. baddddddddd

Still pretty enjoyable. If anything to see the smug bastard get knocked down.

Mother was pretty enjoyable.

Ginga e Kickoff! 05

Didn't expect to have a traumatic backstory for the coach. Was pretty amused by the team's persistence.

Hitsugi no Chaika 03-04

Dragons Valkyrie Loli Cats.

Puchimas!! 26

Now I'll play a Puchimas!! adventure game.

Mangaka-san to Assistant-san to 04

I also never knew I wanted to hear a kugiloli as a sadistic until now.

Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei 04

I feel like I missed the whole kendo fight for some reason. Pleasantly pleased with this pace and kinda surprised that it seemed they gave more depth to this plot than the LN did.

Minna Atsumare! Falcom Gakuen 06

It's time for the tweets and emails!

One Week NTR - Episode 4


This episode had really interesting direction. There's a really nice use of framing to carry the visuals. The use of the blooming flowers, the rain, the shifting properties of the sky, reflections in puddles, etc. I really liked the focus on the backgrounds in the town too, and it reminded me a lot of how Aku no Hana did the same thing to allow the setting to become a character in the show as well. The scenario in the episode was pretty silly honestly, but the way it was executed more than made up for it.

A second would be artificially delaying the canon ending - Pet Girl was especially guilty of this.

Really, anything that artificially enforces the status quo, or worse, regresses things to the status quo, is garbage and should be burned with extreme prejudice.

Bless you, AnimeGAF. Strange how 5 pages of opinions and intermittent .gifs can calm the fibrillation in my troubled, cholesterol-lined plaque-ridden shrivelled husk of a heart.
Dispensing-compounding exams. Never again!

OH JOTARO HOW LONELY YOU MUST BE, ON THAT NEVER-ENDING QUEST TO DEFEAT YOUR EVIL ADOPTIVE VAMPIRE BROTHER-THING. YOU HIT IT'S WEAK SPOT FOR MASSIVE DAMAGE! WE HAVE BEEN GRABBED BY UNDEAD THINGS. GENERAL SURPRISE.

Such a dapper fellow! A silver-tongued man after my own heart.

Re: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure in general, am I supposed to enjoy it ironically or does it know how dumb it is? Or yes? It's not a big deal, I've enjoyed it so far either way.

Well, that started out SHAFT as all hell. And just never let up. It was a great example of a fever dream.

And now we may be getting into SDBurton territory.
