Anyone know what anime this is? Friend found this and was wondering. I don't recognize it.

That's from Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso or Your Lie in April (and yes this anime is super good ;)
I knew I recognized those two characters from somewhere in a recent anime.

Thanks!

Speaking of which, I just finished it and...

What can I say, it's definitely become one of my favourite animes. Them feels. Also, it's got piano and violin, so it's all the more for me.

People still need to stop treating it as the saddest thing ever.

Despite being my favourite part the series they should have removed the arc with Nagi and replaced it with one with Kaori, as that point is the high point of the whole series since that's the only performance where Arima essentially isn't fighting inner demons and would juxtapose significantly better with the later tragedy since Kaori would be involved. The alternative would be 37 episodes but that length is a turn off point for people.

The series is great I give it ~9/10, shame anime companies don't even try to reach this standard at all.

I think some scenes were too dragged out, and there were a few things repeated over and over.
Furthermore, I dislike the whole character of Tsubaki. Most of the part she is stupidly selfish and annoying.
Despite that it was still a good Anime, but it is definately not overly sad like many people say it is.
Green Platinum
The funny thing is Tsubaki would be popular if she was in a harem anime or any series that doesn't strive to have any kind of quality.
[Superstar]_old
I'm not sure about that. But I agree that her character would fit more into that genre.

Hey don't make me say stuff I didn't say. It's not "up there" feels-wise (After Story takes that spot, followed by Little Busters, still haven't watched Ano Hana and... what was it again... Whatever.), but I definitely got "those" feelings up in my chest. I think I did tear up, but I didn't actually cry like I did for Clannad AS, hell no.

I'd give it the same score, but that's purely because I don't believe in perfection, heheh. A friend of mine told me not to talk about the show to anyone except huge anime lovers for "it's one of those rare treasures which make anime what it is". I wish more companies were willing to go that far.

As to Nagi's part, well, I have my own idea as to why they decided to do this part (heck it's more or less explained later by Hiroko) but it's true that their intent was not very clear.
Anyway, the show was well worth my time.

Not referring to you specifically but the amount of people who were constantly saying "The feels.." and "This series will break my soul" etc got on my nerves.

Not strictly steampunk but these are probably up your alley/what you are looking for:

Wolf's Rain
Patema Inverted
Afro Samurai has bits
Ghibli stuff like Laputa
Pale Cocoon
Texhnolyze
Ergo Proxy

Wow nice list, though most of them are more dystopian/cyberpunk than steampunk.

thanks, but not a fan of the aria series

If you want something slowly-paced that's also really emotional and well-written, Haibane Renmei or Mushishi. They're less on the comedy side of things but still really charming.

For something similar to what you listed, Non Non Biyori.
Green Platinum
Wants stuff like Girlfriend(Kari) but dropped stuff like Aria... I don't think they will like Haibane Renmei Mogsworth, but everyone should atleast attempt Mushishi imo.

Was the mermaid show you dropped Seto no Hanayome because it is so much better than the stuff like Softenni. Although now I am thinking it's Namiuchugiwa no Muromi-san despite that show being hilarious too.

Try out:
Hidamari Sketch
Azumanga Daioh
Bamboo Blade
Bungaku Shoujo (OVAs+ Movie)
Denpa onna to seishun otoko
Maria-sama ga miteru (tho the art can be repulsive to some)
Arakawa under the bridge

Experience your anime history.

Except Gundam I don't see anything there older than 2011
Go and watch the shows that influenced the modern landscape of anime today, the ones that stuck around and still get discussed do so for a reason.

Did you read my post Athrun? 2015 certainly isn't old enough to be influential and neither of those are particularly groundbreaking.

Looking for drama with girls / red eyes. (Same thing as Elfen Lied) anything ?
The Gambler
Looking for:

Classic romance anime that isn't a romantic comedy, shoujo chick flick, running gag with a harem anime or a last minute add-on to another genre of anime.

EDIT: Also not some uber-condensed VN or eroge of some sort. Omnibus is also preferable but not required.
karlabos
^ That sounds interesting. I too am looking for this =p

Also I'm looking for animes which are not comedy or at least no entirely comedy which have yandere characters on it? Preferably main characters.
Any suggestions?

Try not watching anime. Unless you want to search through Jousei titles.

I don't even think a non-VN/Eroge omnibus anime even exists. Those are always super condensed too.

Yanderes nearly always make stuff a complete joke. Unless you are in the line of thought that believes Mirai Nikki to be a deep and heartbreaking love story.

So something like NANA or Nodame Cantabile then? Those are both Josei titles I've come across.
