Anyone care to give me any recommendations for a good SoL to watch on the train to/from work? Preferably available on Crunchyroll. I just finished Non Non Biyori, gave Servant x Servant a try and didn't really dig it, and I've already watched and loved Flying Witch.

Already enjoyed Tanaka-kun. What's the pitch for Kamichu?

It's not exactly slice of life, but did you watch Sweetness and Lightning? I can't keep track of everyone on the forum, sadly.

No, I didn't. ...Might give that a try. Not sure if it'll be my bag or not, but it can't hurt to take a look.

Okay, uh.

Next question: how do you feel about crying in public?

Depends on why I'm crying. I'm primarily looking for warm fuzzies.

it's a silly, cute SoL show about a shy girl who wakes up as a god/kami one day, but doesn't know what kind/of what, hijinks ensue

Ooh. This might be a good one.

Edit: Not on Crunchy, which makes it more of a pain to watch on a Tablet. What's your take on GJ-bu/GJ Club? I assume those are the same show just translated differently.

Oh that's a shame, I thought it was up there :(

This is GJ-bu/GJ Club:

basically a show where a bunch of dorks sit in a club room and be silly

Ah. Kind of looks like Yuyushiki, but straighter. I'll give it a look.

GJ-bu has very intense hair brushing action not fit to be seen in public. Also, if you watch it you had better be prepared to give the correct answer for who is the best GJ-bu.

I can promise only to answer as best I can.

I just thought of another one. Sketchbook ~full colors~ may be up your alley.

Ooh. That looks nice. I'll probably give it a look on the train back today.

Ah, hm. I'd forgotten about Hidamari, but it's one I've been meaning to get around to for a while...

Anyone mind sharing why I might watch Hidamari over Sketchbook, or vice versa?

Hidamari is Shaft/Shinbo, so its got that fancy direction they're famous for (especially in season 1 iirc). Relatively smaller, more focused cast. It also has several seasons.

Has Wideface.

Sketchbook is slower/more laid back, and has parts of some episodes devoted to the goings-on of the local stray cats. Relatively larger cast for this sort of show. Only one season iirc.

Has a Canadian:

Hmmmmmm.

These both sound real good. Certainly better than I'm finding GJ club -not to slam that show. Maybe leaning towards Hidamari, but I might have to just flip a coin when I get on the train today.

There's also Yuyushiki and Aiura in the same "kids being dumb" type of SoL, and both are on Crunchyroll. Aiura is only short, few minute episodes, though.

I liked Yuyushiki. It was a little unfocused even by the standards of this sort of thing, and it wasn't a riot or anything, but it was endearingly dorky and it might be the first show I've seen that seemed to be deliberately injecting a bit of polyamory subtext, which seems at least noteworthy.

The "Nantsutte Tsuchatta" song was probably the highlight of the thing.

Hidamari is great, but it's not on CR (and I'm not sure it's legally streaming anywhere, for that matter) which is what I thought Spiritus Nox was looking for.

Huh. I could've sworn I saw it there, but yeah, it's not on CR. Guess it's Sketchbook, then!

Picked up sketchbook. This seems good. I think it's bumped GJ out of my train time slot for now.
