finished watchi

Just finished watching Grave of the Fireflies also wolfs Rain now I am fan of Japanese anime. People if you can help me tell me or recommend any similar genre. I have an impotent exam coming at end of September, after which I want to enrol to learn Japanese too.

welcome, ia176...

My suggestion is to just read some of the posts in the different threads and see what has already been posted in this same theme... Check some of them out and if you still have any questions, please ask then...

I'm not sure there's a similar thread that focuses on depressing tragic anime Besides, anime of this genre are very few and far between.

The most recent tragic anime I know of would be Bokurano. I also highly recommend JinRoh, which I feel is the greatest anime of all time. Another title of similar genre would be Ergo Proxy.

Otherwise, those of somewhat similar genre includes Scrapped Princess, Last Exile, Chrno Crusade, and Tsukihime. Under horror/psychological would be 100 Stories and Paranoia Agent.

first of all, I'm not a mod, but...

double posting is generally frowned upon. You said that you are new to posting, so I recommend that you read the rules... not trying to be offensive, just giving you some guidance, ok....

second, try not to give away parts of the film (spoilers) for the people who haven't seen the film. Those of us who have will generally understand what you mean by indirectly refering to a scene...

I liked 'Grave...' but thru self analysis, I have determined part of the reason why the film was so hard for me, emotionally. the ages in the film are comparable to my sister and I and I had to greatly care for her in her early years. that being said, it is why I will probably not watch the film again, if ever, for a very, very long time...

as for the ending, watch it again as you apparently have missed something....

Enjoy your membership... to be better known, go to the 'general' section and introduce yourself to the Tavern in general... we welcome new members...

If you like Wolf's Reign, you might like Witch Hunter Robin. You might also try Haibane Renmei, an excellent anime, or Kino's Journey.

There are so many very great stories in anime, and of many different genres.

And Grave of the Fireflies is just one of the movies by studio Ghibli, all of which are worth watching. They are a very good place to start your anime watching.

This is a good place to find reviews and ratings of a lot of anime. http://www.mania.com/reviews_by_title.php

Hello Husky51,

Its nice knowing you. In you first post to my post you said that you are not mod, did not get that what is “mod”. Also where in this site can I converse about movies or serials I finished watching with out giving out on their content or giving out the story. If you know of any web site where I can watch Anime for free I found to web sites and they are good but some serials are missing.
The ones I know are http://www.animefuel.com/ and http://www.animecrazy.net/ also do you know if Ai Yori Aoshi ends so abruptly ie no clue if the two get married or not.

Thanks or should I thank you Senpai.

I would say my Anime addiction started with Wolf's Reign, I sow it or should I say sow a video of it on youtube and was immediately drawn to it like fish to water. But felt very perplexed by its ending, cant get it ie the ending. I assumed they failed in the mission right.

Hi,

Looked at the web site you recommended and what you know its quite good, Thanks.

Hi every one.
Just finished copying Princess Mononoke to my HD, it’s a shame cant watch it right now as I have exams end of September, but since I have copy I can send back the CD and watch it when I am free in between. How is it? Is it any Good.

Finished watching Haibone Renmei, the creative concept is absolutely fabulous. Plot, layout and execution also good. What gets me so far with watching Anime is they don’t end with an agreeable or may I be more it personally in a convincing end. They end in such a way that it leaves you wanting more closure so that it’s possible to have a nice sleep rather then making up an ending more agreeable.

just testing my edit option.

Hi,

Would just like to say that I would really appreciate it if you stop double posting. Or in this case, sextuplet posting.

There's the edit button if you need to add on to you post.

Oh, Sorry.
I thought Double posting was like posting same thing twice, and not different thoughts at during different times. what should i do if i want to add other comments that may popup, put a new post or just edit my old post?

The problem is that you double-posted within a VERY short time frame after your first post. The first five of your string are all within ONE HOUR, from the first post. If you had anything to add, even if it was targeted to someone else, just edit it into your first post. Otherwise, it's just going to look like spam.

I may allow double posting if the time between posts is, say, a few days. But otherwise, please utilise the edit button.

Thanks.

Well ia176, there are some anime that come to a nice conclusion, many of the Ghibli works do., but many of the series are taken from series of manga that continue the story beyond the anime. Often there are some hopes of another season of the anime, so they leave some things open. A lot of movies are like that, they hope to continue with a sequel.
Want an anime with a very nice conclusion, try Tokyo Godfathers. No, it isn't about the mafia..... or yakuza, it's about three homeless people who find a baby in the trash on Christmas Eve. It's a very humorous and very touching story.

Haibane Renmei is an interesting anime in that it was never intended to come to a conclusion, and is supposed to leave you with questions to be thought over and reach your own conclusions. It's interesting that ABe didn't have a story thought out when he started the anime, he just had a character and a starting point, he made up each chapter as he went along.

Questions like: Who are the Haibane? They aren't angels. Why are they in the enclosed city, what is their sin? Some have suggested the city is something like purgatory, and the Haibane are people who committed suicide...... but then, what of the small children? Who are the people who inhabit the city with the Haibane, and why can't they leave the city? What is beyond the walls? There are people who spend lots of time discussing these and other questions.
