Why is it infamous? Looks cute enough. I hope there's not some dark undercurrent to that gif that I don't know because I've never heard of it before.

Incidentally, I've just read that the opening and ending of Ashita no Nadja was directed by Mamoru Hosoda. Huh.

Everyone worked at Toei. If you haven't seen Hosoda's contributions to Digimon Adventure you should check those out!

I saw a clip on tumblr a couple months ago, and it was this dude looking at his phone going on about "darkness owns, evil is so cool, this guy just doesn't care he's great..." until the chick he was with tore into him for being a pretentious douche. Does anyone have the clip, or know what series its from?

It doesn't come out of nowhere, but it does end up going nowhere. Addressed in a couple lines, underlying issues never touched again. Disappointing, as it's easily the best moment in the show. Heck, it's one of the better scenes from any anime last year.

I remember when I was a kid (early to mid nineties) saw an anime on HBO. The only thing I remember is there's this scene where a guys head busts out of the stomach of a monster (that must've absorbed him or something) and he just looks at the hero (heroine?) and calmly says, "kill me.... kill me..." Any help identifying that would be appreciated. I remember it looked really cool but I had no clue what was going on since I was seven and started it halfway in.

Gren/Glen from the Iria animation? (I highly suggest it and the live-action Zeiram movies, Keita Amemiya makes wonders). https://www.google.com/search?q=iri...ria+zeiram+gren

So, while browsing this thread for entertainment value a thought struck me, i too have an anime that i can barely remember! So, first of all, its an anime movie, set in europe i believe, and its from the 80-90's. I think it was set during the 1800's but i honestly can't recall, could be early 1900's as well. I remember the opening scene is of a tent in a jungle where a man is dying from malaria. Turns out the man was a father and from then on out we follow the story about his daughter he left behind who i believe becomes an orphan due to this.. i think she has to live with distant relatives who hates her? Not sure.. I remember something about cutting an onion, and how it was used to mask her tears or something? I don't remember much after this except for the final scene, which is a shot of sunset over a european city, set to a song that i recall sounded a lot like the sad theme song from the hulk tv-series. Oh and a minor detail is that it was dubbed to swedish in that short era of the 90's when anime graced swedish television (like silverfang heyoo) if that helps.

Two that come to mind are TV shows not movies but they made a lot of compilation movies in the 70s and 80s so maybe. The first is the Secret Garden anime and the second is Little Princess Sara. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AA-Pxfm3IjI

No, doesn't seem to be them, drat my impressionable young mind, why do i have to remember only snatches of this.. like how it rained in the malaria scene, how miserable the daughter was during the whole thing.. another thing i remember is that shes about to be or is adult in the last scene mentioned earlier. Also i may have missremembered that last song as the hulk song when it was a classical song that sounds very much like it, very sad like but i cannot remember for the life of me what song that was!

Yeah, OVA series, there's also two live-action films which cover some similar ground but aren't in the same continuity. I prefer the films myself (practical effects, kickass female protagonist (not that that's a difference), Zeiram's designs, unique production design) but they're both kickass and the space setting's much more developed in the anime.

Fun fact, that tirade was done in one take. And Inou Battle is good if you dig chuuni characters.

I don't regret watching it as it aired and might even recommend giving it a go during a future dry season if its premise sounds at all interesting. It has some great little animation moments.

Inou Battle can be a bit uneven, but has some amazing moments. There will never be a more chuuni name than Endless Paradox [The Witch Who Sneers At The Twilight].

Much like the girl in the anime I don't know what chuuni means, I think I read something about chuunibyou a long time ago, I presume that's the same thing? What are the shows like?

The first season of Chuniibyou the show is a mostly solid comedy, with some bad stretches near the end. The second season is a mostly sub-par comedy with a few good jokes inbetween.

Basically the Japanese version of a fedora and trenchcoat guy. no? it literally means something like 8th grade syndrome and just means you act like a corny anime. acting like you have special powers and that your life is some great dramatic saga. if you've seen steins;gate okabe is a good example

I might end up watching one these chuuni shows, then. Would would be the go-to show in this genre? I assume it wouldn't be the eponymous one according to the earlier comment.

i wouldn't call it a genre, more of a character archtype that's become somewhat popular recently. the only shows i can think of where the protag is one is steins;gate, chuunibyou (shocking truth) and inou battle, and only one is good. haruhi sorta makes reference to the idea?

lordfrikk posted:I assume Okabe was still a bit extraordinary in his histrionic routine, wasn't he? It's funny because Okabe was largely just pretending to be chuuni to cheer up Mayushii. There isn't really a show that introduces the concept the best as it's always handled differently, to varying degrees of success. Chuunibyou and Inou Battle are the only shows I know that thoroughly analyze the concept, though I think the latter does much more with it and has a much more interesting premise to begin with. Then there's Samurai Flamenco which presents the idea in a positive, "follow your dreams" manner, and if you ask me it's the most enjoyable anime out there, let alone the most enjoyable one that happens to feature chuunibyou syndrome.

I'm not sure if this thread will really be of much help, since what I"m looking for is likely Chinese in origin. I just remembered it today and I think it was about two star crossed lovers, and one of them would turn into a dragon or some animal or something, and this made the other one sad so they went to the gods to try and fix it. There were also the requisite animal comic relief that are in every mythological cartoon, and I think one of those was a boar or something. Anyone have any idea?

It's possible that you're talking about 1958's Panda and the Magic Serpent. It used Chinese-style artwork, had two star-crossed lovers for whom one transformed into a large creature, and comic relief animals. Often found in dollar stores.
