I don't think anyone in her really gets what I'm annoyed by when everyone just cherrypicks the things I mention that are fine and pretends like I'm having an issue with that... it's not about the result but about the way you're getting to that result.
I mean ZNF just, for the fifth time, repeated what I already mentioned and that I don't have a problem with (her being upset and sad about not going to nationals) and said that's what I'm having a problem with, when that's not the case at all... I literally just said myself that you even knew that's a thing because of episode1 myself a couple posts above... i chalk that up to your complaint being nitpicky and incomprehensible tbh  maybe you should read between the lines as opposed to hoping that the story spoonfeeds you precisely the information you want to know? if you think that the story is deliberately saying "okay feel sad" or whatever that's....not accurate at all? second one: I am, that's the thing. I'm just saying it would have been more impactful otherwise. I will fundamentally disagree on that. There's a beauty in leaving exercises for the viewer. For instance, you say they're playing a drama card here and that we should feel sad for the characters involved like her grandma died. But I didn't get that feeling at all. There's a certain tension, between senpai and kouhai, between students and teachers, between the ambitious and the conforming. Peer pressure is a big theme in school settings. Consider this in the context of Japanese culture where these things are very different from more Western countries. And I feel like episode 3 is a great dissection of that tension. you disagree with me saying it was supposed to look/sound sad and you didn't think it was supposed to look sad? If that's the case, yeah then we disagree. I totally agree with beauty in leaving exercise for the viewer and absolutely love that, but if you do that leave the reaction to that to the time it actually comes together a little more. If you didn't think it was supposed to be sad you obviously don't see a problem there because they didn't make a mistake there, yeah.
I think sad is not the only component here. It's sad, kinda, but it stems from frustration and anger.

What's wrong with wanting to be a little anime girl in high school?
|
I'm well past high school and trying to wrap up university and I still wish I was a cute little anime girl instead. (*´ω｀*)

Don't worry we all secretly desire that. A world where we all are cute little anime girls. A world of love and simple pleasure in the mundanity of it all that can only really be achieved by a cute little anime girl.

Why Ore Monogatari is better than 90% of romcoms:
+ Show Spoiler +It only took three episodes of awkwardness to get to a confession instead of waiting til the last episode or not having one at all
|
So people are trying to make me watch Cross Ange because it appears to be the ultimate voicetrap. Thoughts?
Is it good / bad / awful?

I tried watching it for the voice trap, but to be honest it wasn't quite worth it. I got to episode 14 before dropping it.
While there's a great voice cast, it wasn't quite the ear-candy I hoped it'd be. It wasn't like the cast actually got to utilize most of what made them good.
The anime itself gets really... wot.
|
It starts out awful and then becomes just bad.
It was somewhat fun to watch while it aired(more so for the reactions people had to it/the discussions about it) but i wouldn't really recommend it.
|
I like to watch one dumb show every season so Cross Ange ticked off that box.
|
what's your dumb show this season

And that pretty much all it has going for it. I am thinking of dropping it since this season is keeping me busy.

not sure if it makes you happy or sad but I'm sticking to yamada-kun after hearing that it's a total voice-trap even besides hayamin.
Hayamin+KitaEri+HanaKana+Yuuki Aoi
No way am I dropping that

Avoid at all costs. Shit is the spawn of Code Geass R2 and Valvrave. Not worth it.

Is it a voice trap? Well I guess cause all the VAs have to do several voices from the body swapping (I actually don't like Hayamin as the female MC unless she is doing a swapped voice). Seems like they are going to butcher the shit out of it though because there is no way in hell you are going to fit all the content into 12 episodes without glossing over a lot of shit. Seriously, Nisekoi did around 50 chapters in 20 episodes and Yamada-kun anime is trying to do like 80-90 chapters in 12 episodes. The series will probably lose a lot of its charm.

I think eca mentioned something like that too in irc. But if it's between Cross Ange and Yamada-kun... I'll gladly take Yamada-kun to get my KitaEri

Danmachi is great. I really enjoy these fantasy-type worlds with a big cast of characters. The main thing is that it cant take itself too seriously, other wise itll just make everything feel awkward and cringe.

Ore Monogatari: Can someone spell A O T S for me? seriously enjoying it a lot, maybe even more because it is neither a sequel nor was it anticipated by me to be this good beforehand!
