Posted by Saddletank on 04.09.2017, 07:36 PM: I know I've said this many times but there is great stuff all through the Monogatari series. The Nadeko and Hitagi stories at the end are... so good. Even the OP of the Hitagi chapter had the fans raving like loons, me among them. You'll see why when you get there. Its just... so very clever.

Posted by arren18 on 04.09.2017, 09:29 PM: I haven't seen the earliest parts in a long time now, but I'd agree on the two stories just mentioned now. Another one of my favourites is Suruga Devil.

Posted by Saddletank on 04.10.2017, 09:34 AM: I need to catch up with the whole franchise. There's a couple of the recent 4-ep/long movie sets I haven't seen.

Posted by FlareNetworkC on 04.15.2017, 05:25 PM: Hmmm... I'd disagree with putting Shirobako in the "cute girls do workplace" category. Shirobako is actually a pretty gender-equal show, with the ensemble being about half boys and half girls. Otherwise, yeah, those are pretty spot-on. Although I will still declare my love for Azumanga Daioh!

Posted by arren18 on 04.16.2017, 09:52 AM: I wouldn't agree with writing off that entire list based on the description at the top. First, their idea of it seems so broad that it includes things I'd never call "cute girls doing cute things". Apart from that, there are also several on there that I'd recommend.

Posted by Saddletank on 04.16.2017, 02:17 PM: Yes, quite a lot of good anime in there. Some rubbish of course, but its not all bad.

I did like aki no kanade, as per above, yet it's only 25 minutes I would be happy to sit through 2 hours of it, but there is no such option. Still trying to avoid series, but it seems like there is less and less choice left.

Posted by Saddletank on 04.18.2017, 12:50 PM: Worth watching in the above Cute Girls list:

Posted by FlareNetworkC on 04.18.2017, 09:22 PM: Dont forget Madoka Magica.

Posted by Saddletank on 04.18.2017, 11:36 PM: I haven't watched it so I couldn't comment, I listed only the ones I'd seen and thought were worth a mention.
|
Posted by arren18 on 04.19.2017, 12:37 AM: I'd agree on most of what's been mentioned, though I haven't seen all of Saddles's list. Apart from that, Dirty Pair is worth watching, but really doesn't fit into the category at all, and Little Witch Academia is very good too.

Posted by arren18 on 08.13.2017, 07:53 AM: Some people here might be interested that the second part of Owarimonogatari is finally on. It's airing a little oddly, as a few episodes bunched into 40-minute blocks on consecutive nights, so it works out at about the length of the OVAs. I think one more episode is still to air tonight, but I'm a bit confused by it really.

Posted by Saddletank on 08.15.2017, 08:18 AM: The product placement is a joke, like much of the content in most of the Bakemonogatari series, its self-referencing humour. Do you see the joke in the subtitle as well? Combined with the animation of the liquid ejecting from the bottle? All basic double-entendre. There are three separate jokes in that single frame. This is one reason I like the Bake franchise. Its just so damn clever

Posted by arren18 on 08.15.2017, 04:20 PM: I'd agree that the actual story of Kizumonogatari doesn't really warrant three films. But then again, the whole thing is, in a sense, fanservice. It's an adaptation that was skipped years ago and hinted at several times since, so when they finally did it, they deliberately made it a huge thing.

Posted by husky51 on 08.22.2017, 08:11 PM: Just finished an animation of a story by George Lucas based ion Shakespeare's "A Midsummer's Night's Dream"...
