This might be getting into deep territory, but is there a reason SA in the past used to be so vehemently against anime culture, and mocked anyone who enjoyed it?

There was basically a number of subcommunities within SA that were based on harassment of people considered weirdos, which was assisted by a number of front page articles in that direction. I mean, stuff like kiwifarms came out of this site. Then on the other hand you've got extreme anime fans, which made for an easy target. 4chan came out of this site too. Things are probably more chilled out these days with SA trending older than much of the internet.

Also recall that until quite recently there was basically no legitimate way to watch anime so being an anime fan is kinda inherently admitting to illegal activity.

I'll start streaming the second season of Ojamajo Doremi tomorrow. (5pm PDT/8pm EDT/12am UTC/1am BST at https://cytu.be/r/mahoudou)

So yeah, this is the second season so you've missed about 50 episodes already. But it's one of thus silly-long series so probably it's not a big deal if you haven't seen every episode? I mean, the premise is pretty straightforward and basically every season more-or-less resets things at the start, so you should be able to pick it up quickly. Or maybe you've seen the first (localised) season already?

Well, anyway, hope some more people might join me. It's a great series.

Hyouka is a lot closer to an Agatha Christie work in spirit. (Lots of stuff about the motivations of characters, very little "aha I noticed a tiny bit of evidence that changes everything", and also a lot of playing around with the structure of a detective story)

Anyway I think the true heir of Sherlock Holmes (or Herlock Sholmes) is probably the Ace Attorney games.

CLAMP's stance is that all forms of love are valid, so while their homosexual relationships were quite progressive for the time, it also extends to incest and teachers marrying their elementary school students...


In the anime at least it's a very minor background thing, don't worry too much.

Edit: ^^^ well okay, that's your opinion I guess, but the scene where Wenge finds a white hair in the gift package his mom sent to him is, IMHO, maybe the single most devastatingly human moment in all of anime

I watched the first episode of HGS. It was fine. I will probably watch more of it.

Seems distinctly like crunchyroll is trying to sabotage it as much as possible though.

Just say average, different people use those letter grades for completely different meanings. In my locality a B- is the minimum passing grade so a C- would be a pretty bad fail.

Yes, also closed captioning isn't quite the same as subs. There's stuff like sound effects for instance.

People are referencing the post-credit final image of the movie, which suggests that at some point Tima is rebuilt.



There's also this image from the japanese bluray

My copy didn't have that, and I let it keep going just to make sure.

Interesting

quote:

The Japanese release of the film shows a picture after the credits depicting a shop named "Kenichi & Tima Robot Company," with Tima visible in the window (or possibly driving the truck as the person looks similar to Tima). This implies that Kenichi succeeded in rebuilding Tima and they set up the shop together. This picture was included in the English theatrical release and Blu-ray printing, though not on the DVD release.

Hey sorry if this is a difficult request but can anyone recommend some anime based on what I've liked so far?

https://myanimelist.net/animelist/Blonson

I haven't watched a lot of it, so all I ask is that it's extremely good in your personal opinion. I want to know what people's favorite animes are, and I'm happy to go outside of my comfort zone as well.

Any thoughts? ^_^

I think you'll enjoy Hitori Bocchi no Marumaru Seikatsu

It's very heartwarming.
