Yeah, but Nana is the best romance anime of all time. It doesn't take long to see how great the show is.

That said, I wouldn't necessarily recommend it in a discussion of romantic comedy. Nana gets way too soul crushing for that. But I still think it's a fantastic show, and one that everyone should at least give a chance to. It's just such an incredible show. Even close to a decade later (holy shit, where has time gone), I can still very clearly remember watching it for the first time.

One day I need to go back and finish (or rewatch really) Nana. It got way too teen soapish for my taste at the time, but I wonder if I'd like it better now.

One episode into Nana I was quite certain it would be good. By the end of episode 2 it already proved me right.

Fantastic writing and direction is easily recognizable. But be your own judge and give it a try - shouldn't take long to get convinced!

Longer than 26 episode = evil <goes back to watching Mushishi>

Memories blows Melodies about of the water, but they wouldn't be anywhere near my top 10.

I thought that was one of the better ones out of the 5 stories? It's been nearly a decade since I saw them tho.
Click to expand...

That is the only statement I can agree with here, but I can can remember being pretty touched by the love triangle story and the "childhood friend"

Overall, it was relly well done with a lot of emotion build in. ToMelodies was ok and the tie-ins were kinda cute, but the story were just so so, I mean, the 30+ year old muscisian and the high school girl, really?

Im nearing the end of Etotama, and it has been a really fun ride. I dont get the disdain for this series. Its kind of crazy with its pacing sure, but the CG looks good and the characters are adorable and the fights are epic. Its so colorful and whimsical and just charming beyond belief.

Wow Dad and Light scene was so insane and intense in the live action format, I almost actually believed that he would really kill him, and that line, can he get anymore cooler than that, mindblown.

But I dont remember Near being involved this early in the series, why would he be looking at Light too at this point in time and in the same hotel.

I'm with you here. If the show tried to take itself too seriously, then I could see the hate, however, the it never gets serious like that and keeps the crazy and frantic moments fun and entertaining. One of my favs last season just because it always managed to put a smile on my face wach week.

Chaos Dragon Episode 7

darn I thought Ibuki wouldnt do it but he really did. Why Hien have to be so obsessed with throwing his life away to act like a Returned One, and of course the dragon is not in belief that that was an equivalent exchange. What a waste

Hapiness charge Precure FINALE + series thoughts

*snip*

Too many decisions bring this show down . what could have been a 9/10 season barely made it a 5/10..being an absolute fan of precure , watching every episode every week since the very start of futari wa , this season made me stop. i can't forgive it
Click to expand...

This is more or less what I thought of the finale. Complete waste of the show's potential for more and more pink wank. At least the others contributed a little in the DokiDoki finale. Meanwhile, the international Cures may as well have not existed. One filler episode and they did nothing else. To think they had something special. I have similar thoughts about the movie actually. Potential for something great, but it's squandered by a few obvious mistakes.

Aikatsu 107

Aoi has officially become a teacher. This is more or less what I was expecting honestly. Akari sure is persistent. She should probably get over her cliff obsession if she wants to get over her Ichigo obsession. Sena is okay, but if he's as important as the op suggests he will be I'm not looking forward to repeated appearances from him. Nice dress though. The water and reflection effects in the dance were very nice touches. While the CG's quality jump isn't as noticeable as the season 1-2 transition, I can still see it sometimes.

Gakkou Gurashi - 06

Yuki staring close range at Miki as she's waking up is nightmare material for me. Stuff like that freaks me out.
Damn that radio slowly dying in tune with the conversation, along with the close ups and heartbeats was creepy. And well executed. I half expected Yuki to stab her in psycho mode.

I think what this episode revealed should've been done sooner. It has been pretty obvious for a while. Curious to see what is up next. Nice ED change, along with the fade-outs.

Longer than 26 episodes = Full Moon O sagashite, Space Bros, Cardcaptor Sakura, Sailor Moon, Yakitate Japan. Basically quite the opposite of evil!

I don't know about the others but Sailor Moon is indeed shiiiiiiiiiiit. And it's something I've been vaguely aware even as a six year old.

ef a tale of memories/melodies is the greatest romance anime of all time.
Click to expand...

I don't agree with you on your hatred of Jojo and Super Robots, but if there's one romance anime I really enjoy, it's ef a tale of memories.

Melodies I don't like though because of its lack of Renji and Chihiro cuteness. :p

Click to expand...

The dokidoki finale was the culmination of something that was presented, explained and forshadowed since the very first episodes. That's why despite everything that happenned it works. my problem is the freaking tone change in hapcha..

hapcha did the same without any forshadowing or justification.

2017 is good since it does give them a lot of time to work on it before airing, but still waiting for key staff and voice actor announcements. I can't reasonably expect this to be anywhere near as good as the original adaptation, but I can at least hope it does turns out good.

Yeah, Hapcha was fucking shit.

Also it's not fair to compare anything to Heartcatch and Smile, everything sucks compared to those.

Now join us in watching Go! Princess PreCure... which has been decent so far.

School-Live 6

Miki gets to integrate into the cast. They have an odd way of surviving, but it's not like they have anything better to do. They're not fighting to survive every minute, so there's nothing wrong with having some fun and trying to actually live. Also, some confirmation of Megu-nee's status, not that it wasn't obvious already. You'd think Yuki speaking to all these imaginary people would be creepier, but apparently not.

I wouldn't be surprised if the production committee was assembled recently, which is why they can say Production IG is working on it (since they'll be on the committee). Main staff may not have agreed/signed contracts yet or are being sought after at this point. That's what makes most sense to me given the timeframes.

I mean soul crushing or not, there's plenty comedy in there and it works quite well. There's some pretty funreactions and reaction faces, too.

Kare Kano gets really heavy at times, too, but as long as you aren't looking for a lighthearted RomCom I'd say either are recommendable just fine.
