Just popping in to say Welcome to the NHK was good. I'm not sure how I'd phrase it, but I enjoyed that it was slice of life rendered with some realism, and it explored some psychological concepts. I watched the dub and it was serviceable but I felt like it was holding the show back from being something truly great, but I get that feeling any time I watch a dub that doesn't have "great" writing. I mean it's just easy to blame the translation when for all I know the writing was like that begin with. I think the next time I want a show like this, I'll watch Honey and Clover. One thing I liked about the setting of NHK is the main character being poor in a city, especially that little Mitya House apartment. Does Honey and Clover have small apartments and city life? The preview image at the ATDR wiki could be either a city or small town.

HenryEx posted:I'd also like some recommendations on that, but expand / alter it slightly. I like stories where the plot may be conventional, but the / a main character is either only very reluctantly doing their job or being as much as a bastard about it as possible while still technically being the "hero" of the story. You can also recommend me a manga like that. Irresponsible Captain Tyler is about a guy who joins the military for all the wrong reasons and is basically a huge gently caress up and not taking anything seriously.

Tuxedo Catfish posted:Make sure you go with FMA: Brotherhood if you don't want another case of "what is this bullshit" at the end. Yeah I get the feeling this is common in anime but just to clarify they're both essentially the same show, except one stops short after out running the manga. Right? Anyway, if you watch Brotherhood you might find the early episodes feel compressed because they're trying to blow through what was in the original, but it makes up for it with the real ending. I always wondered if someone could tell me at what point the original show diverges from the "real" plot, and correspondingly what episode I should switch to in Brotherhood. I mean I've already watched them both all the way through but if I ever re-watch the show, that's what I'd like to do.
