If you come in here looking for "anime recommendations" then please refer to this chart before posting: Anime Recommendations (as of may 2014). We also have an IRC channel called #tladt where we all hang out. The channel is on Rizon, not QuakeNet! Feel free to check it out. TLADT discord is Discord.gg

For currently airing anime, please see Anichart.net

I didn't watch the anime, but I loved the manga because it was, mm, about being happy, I guess, and appreciating little things you wouldn't otherwise notice. The pacing is intentionally slow because of it. But I can also see it being more of a niche series, because the majority of people won't like that sort of slow walk.

Anime was brilliant because we had Mizuhashi Kaori and Oohara Sayaka for Alice and Alicia (totally biased as usual here), but 癒し系 has always been a rather niche genre.

I think I watched the first season, but when the season season rolled around and they started with the little girl I grew too impatient and irritated (at the girl) to care anymore. Then life went on, I found some nifty VNs to read, and I never wanted to catch back up on the anime.

No Mystlord, I really liked Haibane Renmei. Isn't there a huge difference between Aria and that anime? I know that they are both slice of life but Haibane seems like it had more serious philosophical content and a melancholic atmosphere while Aria was just some cuddly dream world where everything was perfect and people were over-friendly. I might have gotten the wrong impression though as I didn't finish Aria...

Oh I meant something different. I probably should have said instead: "if you don't like the pacing of Aria and you just plain didn't like Haibane Renmei, then don't watch Sora no Woto". I'd place Sora no Woto somewhere in between Haibane and Aria. The series definitely doesn't go in as depth as Haibane does in terms of character development, but it's not necessarily an Aria type anime either. I still think you can't talk about that anime without talking about the ending though...

Oh, and new Kodome no Jikan anime announced. I'm going to go shoot myself now.

Are you shooting yourself because you're happy, or because you're disgusted?

I'm watching Angel Beats because the premise sounded really, really interesting. I'm a bit disapointed, like someone else said the characters are so bland and uninteresting, but the story seems so promising.

K-On! on the other hand is just....ugh. I...I know I shouldn't like it, but I do. A lot. It's not even like it has a real story or character development, which is what i consider to be the most important part of anime .

Does anyone have any opinions on Kanon? I really liked Clannad and Air started out good, and then kinda fell apart. If not Kanon, are there any other Romance/Drama that are really worth watching?

Oh, and is there a mecha anime that's worth watching either? I tried TTGL, hated it. Tried Code Geass, hated it. Tried Gundam 00, it was okay. The only three 'mecha' I kinda enjoyed were Last Exile, Macross Zero, and Eureka Seven.


Hmm... if you don't like Code Geass or TTGL..

Try out Full Metal Panic. It's a bit "harder" (more realistic) than most mecha.

I guess you can also try out Neon Genesis Evangelion (if you haven't already), but that's starting to edge out of mecha territory and you probably won't like it anyways.

I don't get why people hate on Evangelion so much, yea its weird, but something about that feeling of being really creeped out/ invested in the characters makes it really good IMO.

Obvious romance choices in the seinen category are obviously ef a tale of memories

Try dipping into shoujo if you are looking for a slightly different flavour of romance, or yuri aswell. Bokura ga ita, kimi ni todoke are both great romances
Aoi hana

Most of the best yuri is manga (girl friends!) and by the same sentiment a lot of the best romance too

I'm really liking the show so far. Really quite exciting, and I didn't expect it to be any good when Shauni rec'd it :D

As someone who really hates Evangelion, I can say that it is one of the most overrated animes of all time, so I don't really think that people hate on it alot.

Eh i just finished the first season of Aria last night and didnt like it one bit. Waaay to slow for me. Felt like i was going to hang myself any minute =\. Only staying with it because the reviews i read pretty much mentioned that the 3rd season is pretty sick and i wanna see what all the hype was about it. Ill tough it out i guess.. hopefully
If you skip to the end though it won't really mean as much.

Honestly, if you didn't like the first season Aria probably just isn't for you.

Finally get to start watching anime again now that finals are over :D

Ah yeah, Rainbow is really good. Each character so far has a pretty awesome back story and i really like how the series focuses and emphasizes on the power of friendship.
