Hourou Musuko - it's an anime based around kids which might make it a bit rough to take seriously. Given, it's an interesting topic and has good reviews so I'll give it a watch. Wonder if 11 episodes is enough for this though hmm.

I would say that "Slice of Life" is the wrong way to describe Space Bros. Space Brothers has an actual direction and plot to it, where slice of life shows tend to not have any cohesive plot its following (at least on the surface). Its really good, btw.

Those last few are less adults doing adult things and more adults doing things.

Kimi ga Nozomu Eien is just everything I hate about "adult romance". Paper thin drama and exasperating characters basically. Drama isn't a bad thing, but when it's exaggerated emotions racing at 200mph I tend to start rolling my eyes. It's why I gravitate more towards stuff like Yonensei.

Hourou Musuko does more in eleven episodes than some anime directors wish they could do in a lifetime. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Don't let the fact that it has kids as the main characters fool you.

Only that those kids kind of act more like adults than adults do in anime in most cases... The drama is really well handled.

oh I see, fair enough. I was planning to watch it, had it on my ptw list so glad to hear several people recommend it.


I see, makes sense. For what its worth, I took a look at Kimi and I just can't stand the animation and how in your face it feels. I think this was the exact same issue I had when I tried to watch it years ago so guess it's off the list now.




Glad to hear more recs for it. Definitely planning to watch it soon. Having said that, though there are some kids who are mature for their age, it still strikes me a bit odd that the author didn't make them a bit older.

Which, I imagine, is significantly less time than was invested in the scathing analysis of it

I wrote that thing in 10 minutes man. So I wouldn't say like "significantly" less time.

I was also working from home sick so I feel like I was definitely the one expending the least amount of energy.

I think the author likes children and cute characters. Iirc it was in an interview I read. I think the age is actually important in this story. It wouldn't have worked the same way when they would have been older. I'm not saying that you couldn't have told a story with that topic with older characters but definitely not in the same way.

If you do watch it, make sure you watch the specials instead of ep10. The specials are basically episode 10 split into 2 episodes with a bunch of stuff added that makes it a lot more coherent.

Oh ok, makes sense why he went with children then. So, watch 1-9, the special then episode 11?
