This needed to be said.

Not as if the anime medium is full of “good” romances.
Yes.
The only thing I can remember is the massive headache I got, courtesy of the lengthy phone call at the end, while someone was flicking the lights on and off for the entire duration.
Was there ever any doubt?
It’s a pretty damn good adaption. Best romance? 5
Centimeters per Second.
And it’s true.
But the game (ef — a fairy tale of the two) is even better :>
The game is much much better :), though yeah, the anime is great as well :D
Agreed with you, D_S. Love the way they treated phone calls in this show.
Now if only Oonuma Shin would go back to being the good ol’ Shin, and start directing good shows again (Kokoro Connect was pretty close).
He’s done some really mediocre shit lately. Dusk Maiden had some nice art sometimes, but ef was in a different league.
KC was pedestrian.
Frankly, I don’t think Nourin will be any good either.
I thought both his shows this season were pretty good, though. Loving the direction in Watamote.
The direction in Watamote is skillful, but only skillful. It’s not artistic.
I can’t really talk about Ilya.
Well, I feel like it does exactly what it needs to do. The scene in the red light district was pretty cool visually as well.
Yeah, that stood out. I agree. And the visual style is very fitting too.
Perhaps what I’m primarily at odds with is the show itself, rather than the execution.
Watamote is lackluster, I must say. Ilya is pretty much empty as well. The style is there but the artistic approach isn’t.
If there’s anyone who’s being the good ol’ Shin right now, it’s Omata Shinichi. He SHAFT-ed Sankarea and Rozen Maiden 2013 in sufficiently entertaining amounts.
Sankarea was fucking terrible.
Not really.
The manga was already terrible to begin with (that being an understatement), but Omata Shinichi managed to, at least, make the first five episodes interesting before getting eventually eroded by the pathetic source material.
You can’t do much with a bad source material.
They could’ve, like, tried to end the anime in some kind of conclusive fashion, rather than abruptly ending it in what seemed like the beginning of a new story arc.
That show looked nice, but it seemed like a pretty poor way to do an adaptation. Primarily served as an advertisement for the manga, I guess.
Fuck you darksage melodies was better. The eye patch girl was shounen bait faggotry, and while the other girl was good, her arc took a back seat to the eye patch girl’s.
Fuck you darksage
I am currently watching this anime and I love the art.
While everyone seems to love Clannad After Story there were several issues that bugged me so much about it that I couldn’t enjoy it. I hope Ef is different.
I actually don’t like clannad, but i’ve played the game before watching it, and that’s totally different level (game is awesome, and anime just screwed up most of the stories)
I’m glad I switched to the VN after the first season, or the HUGE TWIST would’ve been immediately revealed. Though I really loved the VN, the pay phone scene (you know which one) was one of the best scenes I’ve ever seen in an anime.
Dude nope, Itazura na Kiss is best Romance Anime ever. Suck it.
I really liked Hotarubi no Mori e despite how predictable it was.
Yes!
Despite being only 40 minutes long, it made my feels overflow waaaaay more than Clannad or Kanon or Air or any other show whose only purpose is to be a tearjerker did.
Talking about romances and NOT mentioning HxH? You guys are crazy, just look at how dem two boys look at each other. It’s in the friggin title goddamit; there’s passion there y’know.
It was pretty goddamn great but I haven’t seen enough romance anime to make that judgement.
Good thing Dark_Sage has the best taste, so now I don’t have to.
i think the best romance is the melodies, not the memories
You be wrong D_S, Higurashi best love story ever.
pretty sure you mean the amazing vn, since both anime sucked balls
Freakin agree.
