Yes, although in a different way. Whoever made Lucky Star was a comic genius who was able to have almost every line in the show be both incredibly insightful into the mind of your every day otaku, and also deeply hilarious on nearly every level. Lucky Star was enjoyable because it just gave you a warm fuzzy feeling of high school and made you laugh. And some of the scenes with Nanako struck a little close to home, lol. Tbh, if I enjoy a show and it's entertaining it's doing its job right. It doesn't have to be "intellectual" or anything. I'll watch Kanokon or whatever I feel like if I enjoy it and I don't care what other people think of my taste. If you enjoy something, then enjoy it. ^^ On November 03 2011 11:52 Mysticesper wrote:
So uh, what all exists for emotional rollercoasters / highly depressing?
The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is Clannad & Bokurano. Saikono is pretty heavy on the morbid sadness aswell, closer to Bokurano if you want that kind of tear jerking. I didnt like E.F and True Tears myself but im in the minority, but that may have been just exhaustion with the genre. Of the otheres that were mentioned Sola is rougly in the same vein as Clannad Air and Kanon. And 5cm/s is probably the best of the lot for me even if its a movie I didn't really find Sola to be all that depressing. It's a sad story, I liked it, but I'm looking for more. So far this is my list from you guys: Clannad (watched) Bokurano (watched) Madoka (watched) ef- a tale of memories/melodies (never heard of) true tears (never heard of) myself; yourself (never heard of) kanon (watching) air (watched) 5cm (to do list) Anohana (to do list) School Days (never heard of it outside of being this thread's troll anime) Grave of the Fireflies (to do list) Kimi ga Nozomu Eien (to do list) Saikano (never heard of it) Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 (never heard of) Honey and Clover (never heard of) Why do you guys recommend this, trolls. Depressing anime? more like forced sentimental keyshit (most of it). Watch Ningen Shikaku and compare...
The first example he gave was CLANNAD, so we gave him a list of similar anime with sad stories, which he would probably enjoy since they are SIMILAR. Think before you talk.
|
he also said he wanted emotional rollercoasters, not neccessarily the same thing. Aoi bungaku is pretty morbid start to end.
|
Yeah, and the description 'emotional rollercoasters' is subjective.
He asked for emotional rollercoasters, and gave Clannad as an example of what he feels is an emotional rollercoaster.
There is nothing wrong with the list we suggested.

Lol, I love how people make accounts on TL, post a little about SC, and then the next 50% of their posts are in TL ADT. ah, the power of Japan (just the other day I realized that nippon banzai pretty much comes from Code Geass).

And that's why asking for suggestions with vague tags doesn't really work.

He asked for "emotional rollercoasters / highly depressing" shows. Key stuff qualifies easily for the first thing he asked for, and is most likely the type of anime he is looking for.

to be fair though.

so Aoi Bungaku may well fit the bill perfectly for what he wants. I mean all of the suggestions dont really go much beyond Sola. Pretty low variance amongst the key style shows. Heck you could probably make a new category in the recs page called "For wrist slitters" and then put it there by itself.

then he phrased it wrongly because keyshit isnt depressive no matter how you interpret it... now obviously i realized what he meant but that doesnt mean its okay

yea because unless a show doesnt make you hate life and lose complete faith in humanity it cannot have elements in it that can make you sad.

I'm two years behind, but I just finished up Spice and Wolf and I must ay that it is my second favorite anime ever. I don't watch a ton of anime, probably about 15-ish full series, but it's rare for me to actually like dialogue in any form. This show somehow managed to make conversations enjoyable, just came here to say that. The dubbed version came out recently (watched various subbed episodes, but didn't like the dubs) so I thought it was semi-semi-relevant. I want a season 3 right now. might want to brace yourself. Spice and Wolf is ok. Theres alot better conversation and plot driven shows out there. It has a unique enough setting but thats about as much as it has going for it as far as being interesting is concerned. + Show Spoiler +wonder if Kraft ever got kinky with the tail. Meh, tbh you have your opinion and I have mine. I made it a point that I'm not just comparing it no anime dialogue, personally I think your missing a lot of subtly that I'm getting out of it, but I'm no willing to say your viewing was wrong by any means. This is all opinion until we break out analysis, which I seriously don't care enough about the disagreement to do. I simply find it a little irritating that you are stating it like a fact =/. edit: ugh I regret even posting in this thread, clearly not my type of people, sorry about this. Spice and Wolf is awesome, dude. I love that show, especially the furry girl, and how intellectually stimulating the conversation is. Its almost as good as Code Geass and Death Note.
It was awesome but i grew tired of merchanting side of it. If you don't care at all about middleage trading system you might find it boring suddenly after many many episodes when you are already attached to characters.
It also ends way before the real story ends so you might want to surf internet for real ending of Spice and Wolf saga. (I can tell too if you pm me).

sorry but you got trolled. Sentenal only likes mecha anime.
That aside Spice and Wolf is great if you like Horos character but the story isnt really the shows strong side.

He said emotional rollercoster OR depressing. And no matter how you put it, Key stuff usually tries to put you in between happy times and the sad times, which makes it a rollercoaster, even if the ride wasn't that amazing at times.

Could anyone recommend any good 80s/early 90s action series or movies? for some reason i can't stand the art style in the newer animes except for the GAINAX productions.
I absolutely love shows/OVAs/movies like
Violence Jack
Devilman
Yoshiaki Kawajiri's movies
Berserk
Hokuto No ken
Angel Cop
AD Police files
Bubblegum Crisis
Akira
Ghost in the shell
You know those movies that usually have a huge blue toned skyline and a neo-film-noir feel to it, i absolutely love those movies!
