I can only handle so much... I am about 10 or so eps into Fruits Basket though, I fell off of it just because of life and plan to watch the rest once this season is done, idk if it plans on going into a S2. Kanon and Air though, all I see is they are Kyoto as well and I am terrified.

Those feels from ep.16/18/21 will never go away. They will always be there as as reminder of why the show is so damn great!

Man even 20, just the moment of Tomoya thinking about playing games with both of them if Nagisa was still around had me breaking. Him on the train home, hearing Nagisa's parents at night.... All that shit freaking HURT lol. And I said that now that I've finished it, everything is fine, it's gonna be ok.

It's not. I keep seeing the freaking shot from 16 and I am extremely bothered lol.

Being a young parent years ago hit the message home even harder for me. Ep. 16 for obvious reason, the whole of episode 18 and what it represented, the sunflowers, and the walk in the snow in ep. 21, that final show there.. yup, I was done right there...

I loved the way took everything that happened in Clannad and wrapped it up perfectly in After Story as both emotional and beautiful in their own ways. As the music kicks in in ep. 22 it's just an amazing scene/feeling...

I still turn the soundtrack on my phone once in awhile and listen because the music/ambiance of the show is outstanding as well.

If you liked Clannad, definitely check out Kanon(2006) and Air as well. Angel Beats to a lesser degree (although, I liked it more than Kanon/Air)

I got the show on the 19th, but I am also excited!

Though what I didn't know is that the movie is reserved seating for some reason (no other movies there are reserved, including other anime movies, so this is odd) and I got the tickets too late, so now I am sitting right in the front row.

Appropriate for a Trigger movie I guess, but I have no idea how it will really work with subtitles.

I loved it too, it almost felt like OG Clannad was almost less of a contained series and more just this wild setup for After Story to kick into gear and really make you care. I think my only complaint with After Story was the lack of their friends from high school, but I thought about it and that's totally normal, my friend group splintered off the same way. I guess I wanted just one more reunion lol, especially since Tomoyo was missing from their New Year's one.

The music is also freaking fantastic, I find myself humming some of the tracks and am prob gonna listen today lol. I'm adding Kanon and Air to MAL, Angel Beats too. I just might need a break for a few weeks because my heart can only handle so much.

I wish Clannad had the guts to end at episode 18 because it would have been such a good ending.

I honestly didn't see the ending coming the way it did. I expected
the whole thing with Nagisa coming back to be some kind of fever dream while Tomoya wandered to the area where that hospital is, and the magic of the town to just bring back the kid, and they live on in memory of Nagisa. Nope, I got everybody back, and couldn't believe they had done to me what they did previously.

My titles watched based on year is interesting. Its not complete as I'm still slowly adding stuff in but I do have a lot of old anime on my backlog as well.

I think as a whole the quantity of anime has definitely skyrocketed since the 00s.

I'm sure there's actual numbers out there, but I think while there's probably more shows being made than before, Crunchyroll and other services have led to an explosion in the number of easily available shows. There was still plenty of stuff being made in the mid-late 00's but not as much of it was brought over (legally or not).

There's also other effects like split cour shows that serve to artificially inflate series numbers. If HeroAca had come out in the early 00's for example, it would be one series with slower plot and filler arcs as opposed to 4+ series.

Good point, I never think about tags with an older series, whoops.

Idk if anyone has played the VN, is it worth it? I saw Tomoyo has an After Story-like chapter that I'm super interested in because I liked her a lot and as I said, wish she was around more in After Story. I've read it gets pretty cheap during Steam sales, so I might grab it.

I've never had a problem with access except for some select movies but then again I don't use CR all that much. Back then I would watch via other means and then buy the physical stuff translated or not to support.

Edit: The hours watched definitely paints an interesting picture though, it looks like a lot of the older anime I watched had 50+ episode runs while so many of the series I watch now are either 12 episodes or of course split up like you mentioned.

Black Lagoon gave us Balalaika and I will forever be grateful for that, otherwise the rest of the show/series is fair game.

The GF and I started watching Samurai Flamenco and we're not even halfway done and I'm both confused and excited for where this is going. While I don't appreciate some unfortunate aspects/moments of the series, I do love the overt and subtextual queer themes that have been present since the first episode.

I LOVED Samurai Flamenco and I think I was the only one in my group to make it through to the end. Worth it.

I just tried to resume the first episode of Arifureta again and I couldn't last another minute. What an absolute abomination. I am SO curious how this has been received in Japan.. it's so poorly animated that I truly can't believe this is on TV.

Try the second episode, it actually makes sense.


That first episode is the worst animation/editing/direction I've ever come across in anime.

I've read some of the manga so I was sort of looking forward to it but I just can't. Everything is so bad.. I am floored.

Is Kabaneri any good? I see the series is on Amazon and the recent movie/OVA (?) that just came out was added to Netflix apparently. Ooh, I see Wit Studio made it.. guess I'll give it a shot given their other shows..

Nice that a comedy show like this could have a serious and cute episode. I was really expecting Wota to completely lose faith once she found out the identity of her idol was her teacher. But it strengthened her resolve instead and she accepted him and I loved that. The teacher's thank you to her was great as well.

S1 ends this week. They need at least three seasons to adapt the entire manga as promised at the pace they have been taking.

Random question for anyone: Any summer (or otherwise recent) slice of life shows with a good dose of melancholy? Some shows that I've watched during this past year or so that I've really enjoyed:

Your Lie in April
The Flower that we saw that Day (Ano-hana)
The Pet of Sakura-sou
Hi-Score Girl

Most of the slice of life stuff from this season is pretty comedically oriented.

Honey & Clover
Erased
Cross Game (if you like sports/baseball)
White Album 2

Recent and melancholic?

A Place Further Than the Universe
March Comes in Like a Lion
Natsume's Book of Friends (very long series but one of the greatest slice of life ever)

Thanks! I saw most of Honey and Clover years ago and enjoyed it. Also really liked Cross Game. Haven't seen any of the others that you listed (I saw a bit of an older Kanon a long time ago, I think). I'd written down Clannad as a series to see a long time ago but never got around to it. That may very well become my next watch!

I just finished Clannad and After Story, I was talking about it in here earlier today. I cannot recommend it enough. If you want melancholy, you're gonna get it.

Sacred Beasts 12 FIN

Who knew humans were the real beasts all along? Not I. For real though, it was fun to see Cain finally let loose.

In the end it was a bad show with some good moments and while I doubt there will ever be a second season, I'd probably watch it if there was. No idea if that last conversation was in the manga but I guess in retrospect the three early eps that were mostly anime original were a result of the larger story yet to be told that may not have been quite finalized in the manga's run.

yeah! I liked it a lot but I love studio colorido stuff in general. I wouldn't go in expecting a fully coherent story but it's a blast to watch and colorido's visuals are a joy as always
