Re:Cycle of the Penguindrum: 7/10

Compliation movie with re-recorded voices, new scenes for (non-sexual) fanservice that enhance the story (by a little bit) and a new opening. I'd say it's a bad idea to watch without having watched Penguindrum first and only to watch if you really liked Penguindrum but are too lazy to rewatch. I kinda wish they added these scenes to the original series (maybe in a rerun) and make a perfect version.



The OP bangs tho.

Panty and Stokcing with Garterbelt 9/10

Very funny, even though the humor is kind of bordeline-
I really like Panty's behavior in this anime; not the fact that she's a... yeah... but the fact that she expresses her feeling more than everyone (mostly in the epsiodes 12 and 13!!)

- Stocking is cool too, she's kind of like me: a petty person lol
- Brief is kind of the nerd of the anime, but he's caring so I like him!
- CHUCK KEEPS SUFFERING AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Kujima Utaeba Ie Hororo: 8/10:

cute paranormal slice of life, still ongoing, definitively has some potential, but being honest I expect this to just be another nice little slice of life and nothing particullary special, only has one volume out yet so cant really say much

[Anime] Shinsekai yori: 8/10 explained in my analysis thread
[Anime] Flying Luna Clipper: 6/10: explained in my analysis thread

[Manga] bakuman (dropped): 4/10: I had overall high expectations for this manga, it was about mangakas, so I assumed it would be something similar to blank canvass, this autobiogrophical manga telling their life in a very dramatic and exciting way, however, I was wrong, this is not autobiographical but purely fiction, which on itself is fine, however, I just dont agree with the philosohpy behind this manga. Basically it's about two teenagers who start drawing manga and they apparently are incredibly talented and they're amazing and etc etc. At that point I didn't realize it, but this manga was written by the same people that wrote death note, which to clarify, I disliked. This on itself isn't bad, however, the way the actually talk about existing manga really pushed me over the limit. It felt like in a way it kinda shitted on non-mainstream mangas, and the things they listed for a manga to be "good" I completely disagreed with, and given I was not enjoying the manga at that point, and that I disliked the mangakas, I just dropped it

[Manga] Hakumei and Mikochi: 9/10: really good and cute SoL, it has amazing art, a really adorable setting, perfect to just relax and read, nothing more to really say than look at these panels



[Manga] Kurayami Dance: 7/10: this is another weird shitโ„ข manga, and it was really weird, not my personal favourite, I feel it's a little bit too short and some of the concepts could have been explored more, but it was still good

[manga] Somari and the Guardian of the Forest: 8/10: really good SoL seinen manga that was discontinued due to the author health problems, however it is sad to not see this story finished

Gin no Saji 9/10

Oh dear, Gin no Saji is such a hidden gem among slice of life. The story is pretty simple but the way the story is told is magnificent, just like Haikyuu!!, it does a fantastic job in teaching the viewer about the topic of the anime, plus the drama feels relatable and realistic. Excellent anime overall.

Ginga Tetsudou no Yoru 6.5/10 - 300th completed anime milestone!


I decided to watch a movie I wanted to watch since some time ago, which... wasn't as good as I expected. This movie should be classified as Avant-Garde in my opinion due to how the story is told. It features a lot of surrealism, a focus on non-conventional narrative and it's heavy on allegories.

The biggest problem with this film is the pacing, it's SLOW, like, they could have made the story 20-30 minutes shorter if they made some scenes less boring. There were parts that could perfectly be cut, like the protagonists walking from point A to B without anything relevant happening. I surely find a brick wall interesting, thanks director.

Also, it's one of the few anime movies (if not the only one) that has the text in ESPERANTO, yes, esperanto (alongside with Japanese). Mi volas lernan la esperantoj, dankon! (how the heck I still remember some of it? xd)

I actually had the manga for ginga tetsodou in my plan to read, honestly, I don't even know if they're the same story or they just happen to have the same name

boogiepop 2019: 8/10: as always, explained in this thread

Doomsday with My Dog: 8/10: Okay, so there is actually a bit of context to me reading this manga. I was browsing myanimelist, looking what should I read, and then I found this list called "Potato Manga". This list was composed of a hyperspecific subgenre that is honestly one of my favourite genres all together, that being, world-centered slice of life were the characters just run around a world that is most often than not post-apocalyptic and disscuss philosophy. That means, girls last tour, kino no tabi, shuumatsu touring, etc.

I know the name is a reference to how the community calls the main character duo for girls last tour, gay potatos. However, given that name, the composition of the list and the fact that I had read everything in that list except blame!, the LN for kino no tabi and doomsday with my dog, I felt morally obligated to finish it

first I tried blame!, I don't ususally talk about mangas I just read the first volume to see what is it about and decide to read it or not (I don't even note them as read in my MAL account), but I didn't really connect with blame as it was very much more action focused, and given how long reading all of the kino no tabi novels would take me, I decided to just read doomsday with my dog

and the manga was in fact a potato manga (honestly i'm going to start calling this subgenre that tbh), it's about this girl who just wanders around this calm, post-apocalyptic world with their dog (kinda like the start of the movie I am legend but more chill), however the dog talks and they just disscuss philosophy, dog facts and interpersonal drama for 3 volumes, and I enjoyed it

The manga is also full color, which is pretty rare to see. I assumed it was self-published like a webtoon but it's apparently liscenced by ComicWalker, honestly will read about them, since it's really not common at all for serialized mangas to be full color

the manga starts being full 4koma, but after a special chapter at the end of volume 1 where the mangaka tries to test the waters for a non-4koma version of the manga, the following volumes mix 4koma and regular illustration, kinda like a work by tsukumizu yuu but without the panel-breaking shenanigans. Which I personally really enjoy

now, the actual manga is more close to a shuumatsu touring than a kino no tabi, it doesn't go that in depth with each philosophical thought, however, it is a very relaxing and enjoyable read, kinda like shuumatsu touring but more focused in the relationships between the two characters. And yes, i'm aware that no one other than me and the person that did the potato manga list has read shuumatsu touring, however it is a good comparasion, they're probably around the same level of quality and same type of feelings

pretty good read, will have to find more potato mangas since apparently I have basically finish the list as i'm not really going to read blame or the LN for kino no tabi just now

PD: I do not believe made in abyss is a potato manga as that list says, honestly, when I read more potato mangas I may consider making a potato manga list for myself, that would be cool

Apparently it's another independent adaptation of the fairy tale it's based on. It's like comparing Disney and Del Toro's Pinocchio. Based on same story, told differently. Also seemingly there are several manga adpatations.

ef - a tale of memories 8/10

As I said, this is more or less your typical Nakige anime but with a fantastic animation. Despite the melodrama and sometimes exaggerated reactions from some characters, the series was enjoyable and the pacing was excellent. The topics it touches are well developed too.

Attack on Titan, 10/10

This anime raised me, so I have a strong bias towards it. I loved everything about it, I've been thinking about the ending for a week now.

I hope to get a ticket to the Shingeki AfterParty, and I want to buy the rest of the mangas. (I only bought Volume 1, years ago).

I don't even know if I want to watch any other anime anymore.

the legendary manga, actually did read it


[Manga] Heavenly Delusion (ongoing): 8/10:

apparently this got adapted last season, I was not aware when I started reading the manga.

The manga is fine, reading the first chapter I was like "oh this is going to be like the proised neverland" and then I read chapter 2 and was like nvm

manga is a post-apocalyptic adventure manga, however in many ways it feels unfocused? It does have tons of interesting ideas, however, it doesn't really explore them. For example, the manga starts with the first chapter where you learn of these kids stuck in a school, and talking about escaping, and the second chapter, which is from the perspective of two scavengers on the outside, and you were like, ah the manga is ging to be about the contrast of these two ways of living

however, the manga isn't really about that?, like each two volumes or stuff the focus of the manga changes. And it's not like they aren't foreshadowed, it's just kinda has these cool concepts but they dont go in depth on anything, so while it is an enjotable read, it 's not really something that's really anything more than it

ef - a tale of melodies 8/10
The second season of ef was darker than I expected, and very much unlike the 1st season whose main focus was a romance-drama, here the focus shift somewhat to solving the mysteries that season 1 left, which was done excelently. However, the 2nd season went stronger with the melodramatic reactions, like, PLEASE, THAT'S BORDERLINE CRINGE.... either way, taking that aside, the animation staid strong and the overall story was more emotional. I recommend ef if you're into romance dramas.

[DROP] Hibike! Euphonium - 5/10

Drop reason, also spoilers.
Drama felt too forced, pacing was awfully slow, characters are flat, it fails at being motivational like Haikyuu!!, Gin no Saji or Sora Yori mo Tooi Basho did as... well... unlike these three anime where protagonist is a nobody with no goals in life, the protagonist ALREADY plays the instrument (and is great at it) and the other main characters who are just starting don't get any screen time, and finally, watching this felt like a chore.

Also, the series start with a premise of "Oh, their friendship relationship is tense because they failed (well not too hard of a failure either) in a concert in highschool, I wonder how will they manage to deal with such a tense relationship while being on the same band" Well, guess what? it gets solved in 5 chapters.

I have no idea where is this anime going, and frankly, I don't care anymore. Animation was great and music was excellent purely because of Kyoto Animation, if it was made by another studio this anime wouldn't have such a high score.

ALSO, DON'T BE TRICKED, THIS IS QUEERBAIT. EMPHASIS ON BAIT.

[Anime] Tenkuu Danzai Skelter+Heaven: 1/10: this doesn't count, it's like watching los balunis to like the 2 person on the forum who will get that reference

[Anime] The Tatami Galaxy: 9/10: one of the most unique animes i've seen, [url=https://osu.ppy.sh/community/forums/topics/1829424?n=280] explained on this thread as usual [/ur]

[Manga] Shadow house: 7/10 (ongoing): I had tried reading this a long while ago, read the first volume, didn't catch my attention too much, so I didn't continue it (there are currently 15 volumes), however, recently, I had a friend talk about this manga, and they claimed it was pretty good, so I gave it a second try, got to the second volume, but had the same reaction as the first time

was like on discord pinging person 2 like "hey, gave this a second try, didn't get into it", which they responded "that's fair, no worries", and then person 3 comes into play like OH IT JUST THAT IT GETS GOOD LATER, AT AROUND CHAPTER 70 (so volume 6/7). I didn't dislike the manga or whatever, I just had found it alright, and they really really really insisted on it. I personally dont ever believe in the "it gets good", if you just dont really get into something in chapter 1, it's very hard to get into it later

however, I decided to say fuck it, and read it, and guess what, my opinion really didn't change that much, it's true that there is a genre switch from pure SoL to mistery, however, if you dont care for the SoL part you wont for the mistery.

Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou 10/10.

How to make a 12 episode anime, a slice of life, with practically only two characters and manage to make not only the bare minimum (as most SOL do), but rather, an excellent work? It's a series of factors: Starting by the fact they're the only survivors of a war and are exploring the world, and getting amazed by stuff that, while we might take them for granted, for them it's the most amazing thing they've seen. This made me reflect on my own life and made me aware on how fortunate we are of having everything we have. The second good thing is the direction, both in animation and music, none of both faltered at any moment. Detailed landscapes and great depiction of a futuristic destroyed world. The score is also fantastic, portraying the sense of curiosity and adventure, the fear of the unknown, the sadness of something disappearing... It's just fantastic and difficult to forget. Last but not least, the worldbuilding is excellent and, while leaving some questions open for interpretation, it answers you little by little on how both girls are trying the best to survive. I am impressed by Girls' Last Tour in basically every aspect and I look forward to continue the manga as well.

I am impressed by Girls' Last Tour in basically every aspect and I look forward to continue the manga as well.
tkmiz is just a fucking god, I haven't seen the anime but I gave the manga a 10. I hope shimeji get's the same treatment.

----------------------------

Shimeji Simulation: literally my favourite work of fiction ever created / 10: It's finally over

edit: wrote a full review

i'm sorry
Shimeji simulation is my favourite work of fiction of all time. It's the first manga i've ever really followed live, reading the new chapters the day it came out, and just recently, it ended.

I don't believe objective criticism of any film or anime is possible, and shimeji is the maximum example of this in my humble opinion, as it goes contrary to most of the typical structure and rules other works seem to follow, so I will only be talking about how shimeji made me feel.

Shimeji is a philosophical slice of life by the creator of Girls last Tour. In many ways, it's very similar to this previous title, as it borrows much of the narrative structure, however, it turns it up to the max. There isn't a single unimportant line of dialogue in this entire manga, everything has at least 6 layers to it. However, in contrast to other mangas considered complex or deep, (Let's take for example Lain or Evangelion), you don't need to understand the depths this manga touches in order to enjoy it. The depth is an addition, not their whole identity.

At the start of the manga, shijima says the line "I wonder if this is a metaphor for something." This sets the tone for the rest of the manga. Let's analyze for example chapter 4. This chapter is divided into 3 scenes. In our first scene, shijima and majime are buying lunch, and majime describes how her mom didn't prepare lunch for her today, and she feels kind of sad because of it.

In our next scene, they're in art class. They're given a metal wire and told to represent "Sadness". Of course, every student has a different interpretation of "sadness", and that can be seen in the way everyone's project looks. This entire scene is very absurd, and can be funny because of it. In our last scene, shijima and majime are outside class, and they go talk to one of her teachers.

In this section, it's shown that the teacher is an alcoholic, however, they cant drink in school grounds, so they made a hole in the fence, so they can go outside a second to legally drink and then go back in. This is also kinda funny

So what we have now, a little bit of SoL conversation followed for comedy, however, it all keeps the same theme of "Sadness", first scene, majime is sad, second scene, they're representing sadness, last scene, the fence with the hole on it was made of the same metal wires, so we can extrapolate that the wire fence is also a metaphor for sadness

However, is there anything intrinsic about sadness that makes it follow these ideas?. there really isn't, this is just how feelings work, they don't have a set manifestation, it could be sadness, happyness, etc. I won't spoil anything, but this is the grounds for something in a later chapter.

In one scene we have comedy, character development, philosophical undertones, and setup for the future. Chapter 4 is NOT the exception, this is the rule with the manga.

Tkmiz art is very surreal too, it ignores regular anatomy and changes the shape of the characters to express their feelings, this was also the case with girls last tour. But in shimeji simulation, this doesn't only apply for the characters, but for the world too. The world of shimeji simulation is impossible, if you notice closely, the shape of some roads are optical illusions and impossible shapes.

This isn't just because it's cooler, it makes sense. In our previous analysis of chapter 4, everyone's representation of sadness varied a lot. Depending on the life experiences of each student, the materials they had at hand, the language they spoke, and many other factors changed their interpretation of sadness. In a way, the world changed the way they understand feelings, and since people are the ones that create the cities that they live in, it's a feedback loop. We change the world and the world changes us. In this case, the world is surreal, so everyone's thoughts compared to us seem surreal, which on itselfs, creates a surreal world.

It's also worth mentioning that in this manga, the world is as much a protagonist as all the other characters, and this idea of how the world changes someone is explored in great detail earlier.

The fact that shimeji is as surreal as it is, gives tkmiz total creative freedom. They can push anything they want to the maximum. In fact, I would personally say that the only mangas I've really read that are this level of experimental and crazy are weird little anthologies, I mean stuff like panpanya's works. However, shimeji simulation is the only manga i'm aware of that takes that level of insanity and madness and polishes it into a complete, not nonsensical story.

The actual storytelling is also fairly interesting, while more mangas give you plenty of information of the plot and the worldbuilding. Shimeji simulation only gives you as much information as shijimas knows. If shijima doesn't know how something works, neither do you. The world, while absurd, makes total sense. The characters aren't just there for the plot, every character has a life, and if their life doesn't intersect with shijima's life, they wont appear. By the end of the manga, there will be MANY unresolved plots, however, it does not matter. The actual plot that shijima follows is the only one you need to know.

I feel there is a certain culture on the internet, where every piece of media has 200 theories, and every time, more writers appeal to that idea. Shimeji simulation is the total opposite of that, if you don't understand something, it's fine, you probably didn't have to get it. If some really small detail goes over your head, it's fine. If the story ends and there is much unresolved, it won't bother you. In life. You won't always have all the answers as everything that happens, this is the same thing.

All of this combined makes for a story that is complex yet simple to understand. Incredibly original but not impossible to approach. Funny, yet sad.

Shimeji simulation is the most ground breaking and original work of fiction i've ever put my eyes into. I really hope this gets animated in the future. I want people to know something like this is possible, to be exposed to a new form of writing, to enjoy the same joy I did while reading shimeji simulation. And above all else, future writers take inspiration from shimeji simulation and make something even greater.

Thank you for reading this.

edit #2: Someone else in a discord I'm part of dedicated to shimeji simulation did another analysis that I believe it's worth reading

not mine

Skip and loafer (still ongoing): 8/10:

Romance manga, I just didn't connect to it, IT does have some neat ideas here and there but It didn't feel as emotional as a makoto shinakai movie or had as much to say as clannad or bloom into you, it's just a nice slice of life romance.

Isekai no Meikyuu Toshi de Chiyu Mahoutsukai Yattemasu
4/10

First of all this isn't anyone's dish. Even if you're the type who could handle ecchi, Yuel is enough to get you rethinking. Yes, loli ecchi. I repeat: Loli ecchi. And you CAN'T discard the loli and call it a day. However, two other charas might make the cut for you if you don't want to deal with Yuel. Even then, good luck because this work actually challenges the limits of how far you can go while staying safe. In fact one particular part is pretty daring, so......

Let the 4/10 speak on my behalf, unless you're interested in Yuel.

By the way, do not expect an anime adaptation; it may never happen.

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni GOU 6/10.

This reeks of "sequel made just for the purpose of making money in the laziest way possible". Has some strong points tho that I won't discuss because of spoilers. I'll just say that the first 13 episodes could be skipped and you won't miss anything, I am being serious.

Animation-wise, was decent.

Sonny boy: 9/10: Anime original by the same director as one punch man and the weird sequel to the tatami galaxy i'm watching rn

this anime is strange and confusing, the animation style is very minimalistic. A lot of things that could be seen as big plot points happen off-camera between chapters, this anime is more concerned about the message it is trying to send, and how the main characters adapt and evolve than the actual plot making sense. It's not an anime for everyone, however, I really enjoyed it, One of the most original animes of recent times that i've seen

The Tatami Time Machine Blues: 9/10

this is just kinda like an afterstory for tatami galaxy except not really. It's not really a season 2 either. It's just weird. In the end, it's just more tatami galaxy, it's not at the same scale and scope as season 1, because that was just fucking insane, but it's still just a really nice watch

At last

THE IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls U149
9/10

It deserves a 10/10 honestly, but I deducted one point because one can't fully enjoy it if one doesn't know iM@S at all. If you want to fully enjoy this, you'll need to play THE IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls: Starlight Stage (ใ‚ขใ‚คใƒ‰ใƒซใƒžใ‚นใ‚ฟใƒผ ใ‚ทใƒณใƒ‡ใƒฌใƒฉใ‚ฌใƒผใƒซใ‚บ ใ‚นใ‚ฟใƒผใƒฉใ‚คใƒˆใ‚นใƒ†ใƒผใ‚ธ) for a good while for this, but good luck. I think you still could enjoy it, but you know, it's made for the iM@SCG fans. Or maybe the anime itself could pull you into Starlight Stage? I don't know, there are those types out there.

btw we DO NOT do that one annoying sound for this. This isn't the anime for it, aside from the point this isn't even the right place for it so...

EDIT:

Okusama ga Seitokaichou!
1/10

I'm actually surprised I managed to get through that. One AniDB tag explains what this anime is, nothing else to mention. DO NOT WATCH THIS.

Oh dear quite some time withoput posting.

Tanoshii Muumin Ikka (aka Moomin/Muumilaakson Tarinoita) 8/10

Man, I had a long time without watching a long series, a 78 episode anime no less.

I can really see why some people consider Moomin to be one of the best children-aimed anime, it has a compelling story, lovable characters, and the topic isn't dumbed down. Moomin is a Fantasy Slice of Life, something that deviates from the norm of most children programming, where there's either tons of action or comedy, just unlike (most of) Moomin does. Moomin is THE anime for when you need some coziness, something to look at and let yourself carry on. As this is a Kodomo anime, most of the anime has a lighthearted tone, and most conflicts are self-conclided in the same episode, that does not mean though, that there is not a bigger overarching story, a story that develops slowly, that invites you to see the world where Moomin takes place.

The reason why I am not rating this higher though, is that I have a lot of unanswered questions, none of which have an answer nor in books or comics or whatever. I'd really like to know what happened after certain events, but sadly no canonical information exists, that's pretty sad in my opinion. Some plots had potential to develop more but alas, I think the series would have worked better with 52 episodes because some episodes were pretty weak.

As a final note, Japanese 1st opening is the best opening of moomin in every sense.



Now that I am watching the opening after finishing Moomin....

My latest anime that I am up to date with are Jujutsu Kaisen and Berserk of Gluttony. Both are good anime, but Berserk of Gluttony is just a decent seasonal anime, nothing more, which is why I give it a 7.5/10. Jujutsu Kaisen, on the other hand, is an extremely good anime that I highly recommend, rating it 9/10.

Muumindani no Suisei (aka Comet in Moominland) 7/10

Pretty adequate prequel movie, with the common trope of having better animation.
The concept of a comet threatening to destroy Moominvalley, while well executed in the most part, it had a very slow pacing even for a movie of just 72 minutes.

anyways, it's by the same author as ping pong and takemitsuzamurai, so it's just a SoL with some drama and really cool art

For some reason MAL has recently put restrictions with genre tags, not allowing you to tag Slice of Life with Drama nor Comedy. The latter two can be together but none of both with Slice of Life.

it's that time once again, time to talk on the osu forums about controversial topics that most people will say they mostly agree with in order to not seem like a bad person but which are clearly controversial due to the unusually high ammount of responses it gets and that while GMT do not lock or wasteland they don't quite really like as they're really delicate and don't really know how to deal with them

I see all of you copying my threads and posting style so try to copy those, I want drama, I want action



Inside mari: 8/10: I had this manga in my plan to read for forever, but a friend once recommended a video about this manga, and I was like, sure, this is an excuse to read the manga. So I read it and it was nice. It's a darker gender-swap manga. Clearly inspired by punpun (which is a manga I hate btw), however it takes the more explicit and delicate scene with more respect. It's not as edgy as punpun.

The end for the manga is very predictible, which isn't a bad thing, but I think the way that the plot is resolved is wayyyy too messy for something you know it's going to happen.

The concept of the manga itself is pretty damn cool, it says that if you're in someone else body, doing anything with that body in a way is rape. Which is actually a take that I had never seen and it's actually so interesting. The manga also talks about gender euphoria and disphoria, which are topics I like to see covered



that one video analysis about inside mari which somehow is better than inside mari itself: 9/10



not going to lie, I don't quite agree with the analysis portion of this manga. They really praise some pretty standard art things the manga does which I disagree with, I feel there are mangas that do what she praises in inside mari a lot better, and it's not so much an analysis as much as a plot summary, however, in the second half of the video they stop talking about the manga, they start talking about the mangaka, and in the end, about themselves. And about her experiences being a trans woman.

One of the main talking points is how many incels believe that life will just be better if they were just a woman, and that there is a very blurry line between that misogyny and actual gender disphoria. The main example of this happening is 4chan, and how people in the LGBT board on there, while wanting to transition/transitioning themselves they still have that misogyny and transphobia internalized. One of the main struggle is "oh i'm not like the typical trans person you see in media" or "oh I just don't pass i'm a hon".

Thing is, most of them do pass, however due to the community they're in, they're self-convinced that this isn't the case and never will be and that they're the worst human being on the planet. Not only that, but if you're extremely depressed and asocial, if you don't interact with other people IRL you're never going to know if you do pass or not. Because no matter what you most on that board, you're not going to pass according to their criteria, even if you're cis.

The video then proceeds to make the point that as long as transitioning would prove an improvement in your life, regardless of what your story is, you shouldn't feel bad about it.

I know many trans people in my life, IRL and online, and this is one of the most common problems that I se,e feeling that you are invading someone elses space, and I think the way this video voices out a solution to this problem, while also making a compelling point to avoid 4chan (which every mentally unistable person SHOULD do), I think this video is really good. Better than inside mari itself lmao

Shiroi Suna no Aquatope: 8/10: 24 chapter anime, watched first 12 when it was airing, never finished it as I moved to manga only close to that time, I decided to finally finish it off, and it was cool, nice cute SoL with lots of fishes

Super Cub (Manga): 8/10 Watched the anime when it was airing, saw a couple screenshots of the manga and I decided to catch up to day, it's not finished, but it was cute, reminds me of yuru camp

Devilman Crybaby: 8/10: explained here

Gogo Monster: 8/10: I have the goal of reading every Taiyo Matsumoto manga, this is one of them. I have absolutely no fucking clue what just happened but I liked it. + is 1 volume but like every chapter is like half a volume long so this is closer to like 3 volumes in legth lmao

Okay I watched an explanation video on why I didn't like it.
The anime wasn't meant to have a plot.
Everything, literally everything, was ass-pulled from the writer, who never worked on anime and thought that making a 12-ep series was like making a soap opera...
That's why it didn't make much sense in the end and there were tons of plot-holes, because THERE IS NO OVERARCHING PLOT IN THE FIRST PLACE. I had the feeling of "I think this anime has no idea where to lead the story" and it showed. If this was more like a 100 ep anime made in the 90s I'd get it but... for a 12 episode anime made in 2021... that doesn't work.
Updated thes score to 3/10 for both.

To Your Eternity Season 1: 8/10
Loved the concept, the characters and the story, the opening is pretty shit and there is nothing impactful in terms of OST.

Mononoke: 8/10: didn't get as much into this as I expected, but it was still good, animation is really good, story is fairly original with a semi-episodic format, and it's overaell very strange.

I wish this lasted 24 episodes with more arcs. Because damn, it was too short.
It's like an expensive small candy that tastes great as fuck but you eat in just one bite, and then you ran out of money.

Ping Pong The animation: 10/10: Read the manga, was amazed, became a tayo matsumoto fan, and now I watched the anime because I wanted to also watch the live action I just learned existed and I wanted to compare. The anime was a very different experience, it's overall faster, more concise, and adds some more scenes. The animation is also peak. I just love ping pong

Ping Pong (2002): 7/10: the live action, watched it because why not, I didn't expect for it to be good, yet, it was surprisingly enjoyable. Although I would recommend reading the anime or the manga first, as it's bigges sin is that it goes way too fast, it's hard to tell the story of ping pong in only 2 hours, so they skip a lot of dialogue and scenes, which makes a lot of the little details that made the original story so good are not there, and it will probably be more confusing in certain parts. Still, the movie adds a lot more comedy, the character of peko is highly exaggerated, and I fucking LOVE this version of peko, the comedy aspects (which neither the manga or movie really had), are really good

Since I am watching mostly long stuff and university is screwing me up I will just put a short anime here.

Shiawase tte Naani 4/10

This is the most clichรฉd, dull, preachy and forgettable short ever made. It's also notable for two things: 1st, it was the first work ever by an unknown studio, uh... it was Kyoto Ani... something... and, 2nd, it was created for the Happy Science cult. Yes I watched a short made for a sect.

Uh, as for the story, it is like:

Yes that's literally the story.

Music was good, although animation was nothing like you'd expect from modern KyoAni.

(Manga) Hanaotoko: 6/10 The last tayo matsumoto manga I wanted to read (meaning I've read all of their mangas except some collaborative anthologies and one that isn't translated). I personally didn't really like this one but it was readable

(Manga) Shin Takarajima (1947 ver) : 5/10, This is one of the earliest mangas by Osamu Tezuka, AKA: The god of manga. The guy who basically invented manga, so yeah, this manga is basically the origin of the medium. And while it's the simplest story known to mankind, the art is not bad at all, and it has some interesting panelling at time, I want to read more osamu tezuka just for learning about culture lol

Bakemonogatari: 7/10, I've seen monogatari praised to death and beyond, I ended reading it basically because of social pressure as I had like 3 irl friends telling me to watch it. And while it does some interesting things, mainly it uses color in a really nice way, creating environments that basically look alien even if it's just a normal park in theory. Still, while the animation is good, I expected something different from what I had seen. I always read "oh studio shaft is so fucking good", so I expected a style that was more inasne and breaking, closer to something like ping pong the animation, tatami galaxy or sonny boy, but that really wasn't the case. It's just really good regular animation

the story on itself is pretty interesting, i've seen that concept executed before, but it's still interesting. Although, monogatari en specific has a lot of things that take me out of the story, mainly all the ecchi and a lot of the themes and topics of conversation. so it was pretty difficult for me to watch at least

I don't think monogatari is bad at all, but for me personally I cant finish it, I wont watch any of the other seasons

Fumetsu no Anata e Season 2 8/10



It took quite some time for To you Eternity to have its grasp and identity as a series, and while it still has its problems like a very dragged pace and its melodrama, at least it was mostly tonally consistent and finally felt that the series knows what to do with its plot and where it is going now. I know some people peferred the first season, but I think Season 2 is way better than the first.

they're not even similar. Metamorphosis is just a really fucking weird hentai manga that got popular because "haha man of culture".

Oyasumi punpun is a drama manga about someone becoming an awful person over time. Showing all of their life experiences and how they percieved it. The reason why I didn't enjoy oyasumi punpun for me it's that it was wayyyyyyyy too much to handle for me. I feel that at a certain point it just becomes torture porn and I'm just not the biggest fan of that

I actually haven't finished many things as of recent (and by that I mean like a week and a half)

(manga) hi no tori (1967): 4/10 (dropped): I'm pretty sure giving hi no tori a 4 is considered a hate crime in many countries but idk. I didn't really get into it. I'm not the biggest fan of anthologies/episodic shows. And I feel that in many ways all the stories that this features has already veen done better oin other places. While at times the paneling is really good. It's often wayyyy too blatant with copying and pasting the panel structure whch is a little bit of a shame, since they were SO ahead of it's time. I also felt the stories set in the past were wea.

(manga) Ginga no Shinanai Kodomotachi e : 2 volume long manga. Weird philosohpical manga and surprisingly emotional. Pretty short but still pretty good

(manga) A silent voice: 10/10: I have watched the movie in the past, but I wanted to read the manga since I had head that it expanded on some subjects, and well, it's as good as the anime, which is already a masterpiece so like yeah

Josee, the Tiger and the Fish: 9/10: With most stuff I try to justify why something is good and convince other people to watch it. Not with romances. This is just really fucking good and I refuse to explain why. I fucking love tragic romance anime movies.

millenium actress: 8/10: explained in my analysis thread

Hi no Tori 6/10



Man this shit was depressing and cynical, pacing for most stories was way too fast to feel any development, the story overall was awkward, characters felt incredibly flat, and everything was too rushed for a 13 episode anime. An interesting concept but way too condensed.

Animation was great though.

Well I see why this anime barely has 10K members.
copy-pasted from MAL lmao

Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou(MANGA) 10/10

Let's start by quoting myself

Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou 10/10.

How to make a 12 episode anime, a slice of life, with practically only two characters and manage to make not only the bare minimum (as most SOL do), but rather, an excellent work? It's a series of factors: Starting by the fact they're the only survivors of a war and are exploring the world, and getting amazed by stuff that, while we might take them for granted, for them it's the most amazing thing they've seen. This made me reflect on my own life and made me aware on how fortunate we are of having everything we have. The second good thing is the direction, both in animation and music, none of both faltered at any moment. Detailed landscapes and great depiction of a futuristic destroyed world. The score is also fantastic, portraying the sense of curiosity and adventure, the fear of the unknown, the sadness of something disappearing... It's just fantastic and difficult to forget. Last but not least, the worldbuilding is excellent and, while leaving some questions open for interpretation, it answers you little by little on how both girls are trying the best to survive. I am impressed by Girls' Last Tour in basically every aspect and I look forward to continue the manga as well.
Yes I continued and finished the manga.

I have watched too much shit since the last post and I cant name it all, but I watched all of the satoshi kon movies, gave them all an 8/10

also read the rose of versailes, mainly because it's a historically important manga, didn't get into it, 6/10

before that I read Ashita No Joe, and NGL, this is surprisingly good, it's very old so it barely has anime style of drawing but the story is surprisingly deep

Forgot about this

Perfect blue: 8/10
Tokyo godfathers: 8/10
Paprika: 8/10

all of the satoshi kon movies are of similar quality, and excluding tokyo godfathers, they're all very similar to each other

so ra no wo to: 7/10, only saw it because the city was based on an irl spanish city and I thought that was funny, it's a average slice of life, but I still enjoyed it near the end it tries to replicate the game-bu final arc (Accidently I may add, as no one except for me has read it...) but they don't pull it off well and it isn't the most enjoyable. Also I will defend that the game-bu final arc has to be one of the best story arcs i've ever seen in my life and and it's in a fucking slice of life, so underrated

NHK ni Youkoso! 9/10: i'm very pleasantly surprised with this anime, I thought it was comedy but the actual comedy aspect of the anime just basically gets dropped at a certain point and it just turns into this actually really cool and at times fairly intense drama. I would recommend it

[Manga] Hokuhokusei ni Kumo to Ike: 8/10, talked about it in the other thread

[Manga] Spirit circle: 6/10: I couldn't get into this, I like the concept but I don't think the direction this manga takes is the one I would have enjoyed it the most, in many ways it reminds me of hi no tori, but again, I ended up dropping that one, so idk

[Manga] Dragon and chameleon: 8/10, talked about it in the other thread

Oyasumi Punpun 9.5/10
Literal peak, never have I related to a MC before, and not wanted to emulate him just as much. Though never felt the depression most people say they have when reading it (guess being on Antidepressants will do that ig) I did feel the impact though so I still came out of this with something.

bro i'm sorry if you relate to punpun you need to go find a psychologist but fast, I don't think it's supposed to be relatable

I mean I think you are supposed to relate to him with how he handles his depression, not his actions. He's a guy with very bad mental problems, that's the only relatable part. That is what I relate too, not the supreme amounts of abuse he lashes out at people with, the murderous tendencies, or the psycho-sexual mindset of his that just exentuates his entire being. So yeah the mental health problems are relatable, not the urge to be a bad person. Yeah, fuck you.

I don't think this should be true either? at least personally. The way they handle depression is very, very, very bad

Night on the Galactic Railroad: 7/10: famous classic japanese novel, a friend of mine watched it and liked it so I did too, it was alright, i'm not the demographic for this but it's well done

Plastic Memories: 6/10: Explained in my analysis thread

[Manga] [On hold] Akatsuki No Yona: 6/10, The first two volumes are pretty solid, but after that, it kinda just becomes a very typical adventure manga and it doesn't have any hook strong enough for me to really tolerate 40+ volmes of this. I haven't dropped it since I still enjoyed what I read, I just think that it overstates it's welcome and finishing it is going to be a challenge

[Manga] Kraunessa the Black Stagne: 9/10: I decided to try to read most of this mangaka's work, as I had read game-bu a while ago and I still think it's one of the most underrated mangas i've seen. This is a 1 volume manga, so basically a oneshot. I really like the art-style, the themes are interesting, I like the characters and the comedy, I just think it's a very strong concept and I enjoyed it

[Manga] Spectral Wizard: 8/10: Art and comedy are similar to the previous, but the actual plot is more magical and fantastical than psychological, it was still a good read but I enjoyed the previous approach better

[Manga] Spectral Wizard: Saikyou no Mahou wo Meguru Bouken: 7/10: Weakest of their mangas, sequel to spectral wizard. It seems that they were really trying to get serialized, it's a lot more commercial and conventional than their previous works, still, this didn't seem to work, as the series never got picked up and the mangaka quitted the industry. I don't know what they're working in now, but it isn't anime, which is a shame IMO

ARIA The ANIMATION 8/10



(Season 1 of several)
This is an anime that took its time for me to like it, to be honest I found it pretty boring at the beginning, however, the show slowly started showing me that it was worth to continue it. It has a good potential which has been using, making this simple story pretty solid in worldbuilding and characters.

Looking forward to the next seasons.

Fruits Basket (2019) Season 1: 7/10: Famous shoujo anime, wanted to check it out for myself

I'm kinda mixed on this anime, as the concept is interssting, but holy fuck, all of the characters are so incredibly dumb. You see the first episode and you totally get what the anime is going for, you can even just determine that by just looking at the tags, both guys are attracted to the girl and the girl must navigate that hard situation, however, i'm 24 chapters in and they have not even acknowledged the situation that was clear since chapter 1. There is clear romantic tension between the main characters yet the guys are so full of themselves to realize they may be in love and the girl is so dumb to understand the atmosphere. Still, I do think this anime has some potential, the side stories are interesting and I still enjoyed watching the anime so I will watch the next season

Princess Tutu 9/10



Princess Tutu is one of these stories that really got me engaged from beginning to end, a story that borrows from the best elements of classic fairy tales and plays with those elements in order to create a very refreshing and creative story. A story that plays with the elements and tropes of fairy tales, and makes something new. I really loved it.
