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 think making a good long lasting romance is difficult. It's hard to create drama that isn't forced to keep things interesting. Pacing development is difficult and seems a rather subjective thing as well. There seems to be quite a stratification in what people are interested in when it comes to love and relationships. For everything you get right in romance for one reader/viewer you get it wrong for 3 others.
The keyboard is mightier than the pen.

I think it's also because such a large viewerbase are rather young people who view the end goal of "romance" to be getting the date or "becoming" a couple instead of the larger more important part of what happens after that point. Well that and it being far harder to write romance between an established couple than between two strangers "flirting" like morons. I wonder how much of it has to do with anime adapting material that's focused on teenagers and thus generally not the highest caliber of writing. That being said it's not like western media has good romance. Shit half of it is NTR and abusive relationships romanticized to a sickening degree.

but tbf that's a thing everywhere and not just limited to anime. Every romance flick you can watch on TV is about 2 people who become a couple and that's it, unrelated to wether or not that's actually good.

Western media has the same issue for the same reasons, just aged up slightly because the "Christmas Cake" stigma isn't nearly as prominent.
Average means I'm better than half of you.

Damn, Claymore is getting even more exciting. + Show Spoiler +
An army of 27 vs the Claymores is ridiculous. They are going to get destroyed so badly T.T In before the anime ending involves Clare becoming an awakened being when they are down, crushing them all and then reverting back herself or just dying or Priscilla somehow dying for Raki etc... Either way, 20 episodes in and not letting me down so far! :D


After episode 22 is when you need to switch to the manga to avoid the anime only ending and starting at ch 59. Anime has an open ending that makes it hard for another season even if there were enough interest, but other than that the anime was very faithful to the manga. You just miss out on some foreshadowing and small moments.

I got up to like episode seven last night. It's getting better. Started off quite dull but I may be able to get through it now.

Re-kan might be the best show that no one is talking about. It also has a yuri subtext for the 2 main leads and might be building to a relationship (figured I plug that bit in since its been recently talked about).

Makura no Danshi, the new television anime from Earth Star Entertainment will premiere this July. This "new and novel animation entirely in the first-person perspective" is designed to "heal tired hearts."

Natsuki Hanae will play one of 12 "makura no danshi" (pillow boys), all full of distinctly individual personalities and each catering to viewers who like a certain "type." The boys all live in the same town underneath a starry sky. Each of the "makura no danshi" will star his own weekly episode as they "sleep beside you and whisper."


made me think of this.
