- Kimi ni Todoke (the fight and reconciliation with her friends :3:)
- Usagi Drop
- My Love Story!!

- Etc

Most recent one:
- Erased

Any recommendations on Visual Novels that might be worth getting off of Steam's :siren:ANIME SALE:siren:? I quite liked Kindred Spirits when it wasn't being all Teacher/Student, and something similarly warm and fuzzy would go down particularly well.

All of them, or the one with the birds.

You can also enjoy it as a competent super robot show, or just as someone who likes fun things

If he doesn't cut out before the butt slap, someone post the timeline

13:30 - far shot of satsuki hanging in the cage
13:34 - shot of satsuki’s feet, ragged and hanging, Ragyo laughing. Panning up to Satsuki’s face until 13:43, without pausing to stare at her boobs like so many other animes
13:43 - close-up of Satsuki’s face (look of rage at 13:53)
13:54 - Looking at Ragyo talking to Satsuki
13:58 - medium-far shot of Satsuki, her body is darkened rather than well-lit. Ragyo gloating
14:11 - beginning of bad touch scene. The lighting of Ragyo is bright, the lighting on Satsuki is dark, guiding the eye to Ragyo, not Satsuki.
14:21 - Four second butt shot
14:25 - Close-up of a look of rage on Satsuki’s face
14:29 - Close-up of Ragyo’s face. Gloating.
14:36 - shot panning downwards from above Satuki’s face to her face. Seven seconds. No cleavage.
14:43 to 15:39 - Backstory.
15:40 - Far panning shot of cage.
15:56 - Butt slap.
15:57 - Shot of Ragyo and Satsuki’s face. This time, the lighting is on Satsuki.
16:03 - Closeup of Satsuki’s face into a close-up of Ragyo’s face. Still enraged / still gloating
16:09 - Shot of Satsuki’s legs from halfway down her thighs and panning downwards.
16:17 - Backwards shot of a bad touch sweeping down from Satsuki’s chest down to her behind.
16:28 - From Satsuki’s face into Ragyo’s face.
16:36 - Butt slap.
16:37 - Far shot of cage. Dark. More butt slaps and Ragyo emphasizing how much she wants Satsuki to hate her.
16:40 - Close up of faces. Butt slaps continue.
16:44 - Satsuki’s face, still mad. Still slapping. Maniacal laughter from Ragyo.
16:51 - End of the scene.

Let's recap -
lots of exposition
no lingering on boobs
lighting that deliberately de-emphasized Satsuki's body
lots of focus on the faces
fostering Satsuki's anger made a part of the conversation deliberately

If you think they spent a bunch of time on Satsuki's body you were paying attention to the wrong loving thing and you're using disgust to justify voyeurism. The scene wasn't fanservice. God drat.

I loved the part when he revealed the tiny bottle of lube hidden in his watch.

Fap note goes from a guy making elaborate plans to leave him cumrags somewhere to get revenge for a girl to a look at how revenge can gently caress you up, so it's really only an appropriate title for the first half

Would it be accurate to say that Azumanga Daioh was one of the first "cute girls doing cute things" genre animes? I can't remember many before it.

Anime yes, but the manga came out a couple of years after doki doki high school

2006 is a confusing mess that isn't really a good adaption of the stay night route, while also having elements of the other two routes in to really mix things up.

As long as ubw explains the basic premise and the stuff you learn in stay night there's no reason to watch 2006

Mirai Nikki is like specifically loving made for your request

it "hits the ground running" in the sense that there is quite literally a single episode of setup, which ends with a man being devoured by a black hole because his phone broke. it is every single genre you mentioned at some point or another except 80s-style. it's structured exactly the way you want, with an overarching plot that moves forward through semi-episodic mini-arcs. the characters... are divisive but if you care about them, you'll really, really care about them.

like I realize I'm a broken record with this show but good lord how am I the first person to bring it up here

Because it's not very good

I'm looking for recs.

Looking for something kind of slow-paced, positive, maybe slice-of-life without any casually horny poo poo in it. You know, comments about boob size or whatever. Big plus if it's about adults instead of teens. BIG plus if it's got simple, non-slang dialogue. I have a friend learning Japanese who is looking for some nice stuff to watch that isn't turbohorny and it'd be cool if I could find something like that to recommend.

Supernatural elements are welcome, but not required!

K-on is good for this.
