| I didnt even like girls till I met my original 1st ever Waifu. Definitely had an "emotional" impact.: Police Patrol. |
| pokemon. i dont 100% remember but ash releasing butterfree probably made me cry as a kid. |
| Other than Pokemon, it would be Naruto, the gateway anime for me... |
| Probably the original FMA. Especially that flashback scene with teacher where she punishes the brothers after what they did. |
Artreyu said: Yeh... I honestly used to think once I'd grow up I'd "finally" be happy and I wouldn't have to worry which was a sort of solace in childhood and reason to be carefree too :P, but as I grew older I started to gravitate toward darker material I guess..  I guess the silverlining would be if one does eventually manage to find some happiness/genuine love or something like that, it would be even more special because it comes after all the tragedy/cynicism.. hmm, what darker materials? Now we look back and see how innocent, hopeful and relatively happier we were as a child. Oh yes, but... that thought that I may never, makes me scared.. it's depressing sorry :D Artreyu said: Yeh, we have a lot of the same taste surprisingly.. o_o I know.. I never thought I'd see George on someone else's list too LOL. Also it's funny how you have Chiaki and I Nodame, contrasting lmao. With George though, I loved his character because he's not straightfoward and "read-between" the lines sort of thing, it's hard to explain without bringing in everyone else though... I love his relationship with Izabella it really touched me, how open he is to accept her as transgender so early (it wasn't even a big deal for him). Also he's artistic and charming too... they love each other, but Izabella would accept George to be with others and let him be free (since he loved Yukari) so they have a really beautiful/special relationship... I like that he's fond of driven women too, and puts art/career above all. I love how they use art to express everything too (I mean they design but I call it Art still :P) so I feel I can relate a bit. You have Nozaki too x] I loved that show as well omg, I wish they would make more seasons. All of the characters were hilarious... I like how there was role-reversal with Kashima/Hori-senpai too LOL. Ohhh I share same views, it's making me smile from ear to ear..! Yes yes, he's so artistic, individualistic and mature, there's a hidden wisdom within him right? And he's also so chill and charming at the same time.. there's so much dimension and range in his personality. Oh yessss, I love Isabella a lot too, she's my next favorite from Paradise Kiss.. so mature, understanding, her love is 'transcending'.. their relationship is special and touching like you say. What can be more fulfilling than being accepted and letting each other be while the love for each other never really fading. Ya, he likes driven people and people who act independently even if it may make one rebellious, and I watched this series when I was really at my low, and this series helped me.. He made me understand what it is to be an adult or an individual, and to have a sense of responsibility for what you do, who you are. And what is sense of responsibility in relationships and my general attitude in relating to other people.. IDK how to explain lol George and Paradise Kiss changed me a lot, Artreyu, and I try to consciously remember George in my life lol.. never seen any person or character like him. Ya, their artistic expressions is another major charm about the show.. :D ..I too love artistic expressions even when I don't understand them, and love the air of independence that artists have.. it's not easy to produce or be artistic right, it's hella inspiring just to watch them. Paradise Kiss, as it's own artistic expression itself (the unique animation style! the opening and ending music! the character designs!) is very satisfying to watch.. All the characters are beautiful, in that they feel like individuals that have chosen their own path.. a beautiful show. Ahh, I went off rambling about Paradise Kiss! :p YESSSS. I noticed this too. we have some contrasting characters as the choice of our favorites! :p ..do you like Chiaki?? I had a 'crush' on him haha.. but I love Nodame as much as Chiaki too! MAL allows for only 10 faves, so I had to go with my crush :p Ya, IDK why I tend to love characters that are so passionate about something that all they think about is their passion :p ..and both Chiaki and Nozaki-kun have this recurring theme where even when they're being chased after by romance are oblivious or disregard it or are overly practical.. (sometimes leading to funny moments) and they're both mature individuals.. IDK why I find all that charming lol. yes yes, Gekkan Shoujo needs more seasons! :D ..every minute of it was thoroughly entertaining and I didn't want it to end.. I loved all characters, and Kashima/Hori too, couldn't get enough of them :D Artreyu said: Yo that made me depressed for months, funny you use "love" in the same sentence lol :P, yeh it's one of my favourite as well I should watch it again... Honestly the original GitS film I could watch on repeat all day...  You should definitely finish the series as well! Love Akira too yeh, we have opposing characters again with Kaneda/Tetsuo hahaha like Noda/Chiaki x] I really like Tatami Galaxy but it's got a lot of fast-paced dialogue, some of my other favourites not listed is more nostalgia based I think too o/ Aww, I'm sorry and you were so moved by 'No Longer Human' ? .. :) .. is that why I see no rating for Aoi Bungaku from you? ..what are your opinions on this show, if you don't mind getting into it :D ..I understand if you don't want to get into it, some shows touch us too deeply and may not be easy to talk about it or express it.. .. I also kinda gravitate to dark material, Artreyu. Maybe it's an outlet I'm finding or maybe I just love indulging in existential 'melodrama' and try to find something that resonates similar to what we sometimes go through.. and sometimes finding some solace in these kinds of shows.. sometimes watching them makes me feel like it's helping me trying to process what was personally experienced. Sometimes, it's just watching the way a certain character feels and try to understand them.. I guess I like dwelling in some darker places for a while, for reasons IDK lol. GITS :) ..same, I have seen the movie so many times and still wish to watch it again.. what can I say, I am emotionally attached to it and it's a different sacred zone.. lol What do you love about Tetsuo? another contrast in similarity :D Oh, Tatami Galaxy is on my PTW. but yes, I tried watching it a few months ago but the fast-paced dialogue was too much for me and gave up quickly without putting any efforts.. :p ..I've got to watch it sometime. What are your other favorites? |

| For me it was definitely Angel Beats, it was one of the first emotional anime I watched back when I really got into watching anime awhile back. |
on 
| Death Note. When Ray Penbers wife died it was a very emotional moment. Especially how it was built up. |
| madhiuse's parasyte the maxim made me cry like a little baby, i never felt like that until I watched a silent voice. |

_oak said: hmm, what darker materials? Now we look back and see how innocent, hopeful and relatively happier we were as a child. Oh yes, but... that thought that I may never, makes me scared.. it's depressing sorry :D Hmm well not exactly dark, but more grunge I guess and also since toonami/adult swim was popular when I was young so Bebop/Orphen/Bubble gum crisis and stuff aired a lot and I used to stay up to watch. :P Yeh most people probably may not find love/happiness/peace which is why Ningen Shikkaku LOL. That's all I can say :D, at this point it's like trying to find something to be alive for lol. _oak said: Yes yes, he's so artistic, individualistic and mature, there's a hidden wisdom within him right?

And what is sense of responsibility in relationships and my general attitude in relating to other people.. IDK how to explain lol Yeh, but it could also be that all his emotions are contained and self-directed too which is why if he's upset he won't tell you directly, but he's also like that... never too direct from what I remember lol. x] I wasn't at my lowest when I watched the series but definitely at really weird time in life lol, I liked it more for artistic reasons the first time I watched it, but it's full circle now because relationships (genuine) and career matters a lot to me now and it's hard to find people who will be there for you sort of thing, even if they're not "there" per se, like they can be doing their own thing but you always save space for each other or have a "private" space. That can relate to 'Nana' too (same writer as ParaKiss), one of the couples still loves/cares for each other even though they don't get to see each other really. _oak said: George and Paradise Kiss changed me a lot, Artreyu, and I try to consciously remember George in my life lol.. never seen any person or character like him.

All the characters are beautiful, in that they feel like individuals that have chosen their own path.. a beautiful show. Ahh, I went off rambling about Paradise Kiss! :p It's rare to meet a George irl yeh :P, they would be deep in their work/associate with those in the whatever their field is. Being artistic is hard because a person needs a particular "space" to grow into themselves which is hard if one is poor or doesn't come from the right background. Isabella although there is tragedy is also very fortunate, because of George and her family wealth, she could transition and blossom into "herself". The animation is very unique yeh because sometimes they use fabric patterns for screen tones which is so cool and fitting :D Yeh I like how everyone chose their pathway too even though it was rocky, the ending is really sad because it's realistic... how people settle sometimes - Hiroyuki was more stable for her I guess but George is... well you know LOL. The room of dresses made me die lol. I love how they played Lonely in Gorgeous at the end too.. _oak said: YESSSS. I noticed this too. we have some contrasting characters as the choice of our favorites! :p ..do you like Chiaki?? I had a 'crush' on him haha.. but I love Nodame as much as Chiaki too!

I loved all characters, and Kashima/Hori too, couldn't get enough of them :D Of course I like Chiaki too hahahaha, I put Nodame because I love her carefree personality and feel like she was the more gifted natural performer too whereas Chiaki is trained and engineered and super disciplined, that's actually why they work well together though, because she had natural freedom of expression at any given time which is hard to pull off... they don't explicitly say, but I also think Nodame had synesthesia too which might relate to how she could memorize everything easily... One of my favourite scenes, also the Elgar... They captured the Beethoven so well in animation, it's like better than real life performance LOL because Nodame's demeanor which matches the movement https://www.dailymotion.com/video/xe2i7w Imagine being able to play that music with your lover or someone close to you omg :O Nodame reminds me of a few people since she was gifted in a certain way which can't be trained... she needs to be tempered by Chiaki though since she lacks information, but he also found more freedom through her when performing because of her approach. The fact that she wanted to have a different job and something ordinary is also a part of it but because playing is really natural to her she can't escape her destiny sort of thing. Chiaki and Nozaki were funny yeh :D, although Chiaki is a bit more tactful he was oblivious to all the fangirls I think xD? Nozaki is really cute because his perception is totally unorthodox LOL, he's total oblivious whereas I think Chiaki doesn't really care/pay attention to much superficialities maybe or things that seem petty. _oak said: Aww, I'm sorry and you were so moved by 'No Longer Human' ? .. :) .. is that why I see no rating for Aoi Bungaku from you? ..what are your opinions on this show, if you don't mind getting into it :D ..I understand if you don't want to get into it, some shows touch us too deeply and may not be easy to talk about it or express it.. Maybe in PM or another time, I watched it at a bad time that my mind is almost blank when recalling actually LOL. I put my picture as that recently actually because I feel like I'm at another pivotal moment in life sort of... _oak said: .. I also kinda gravitate to dark material, Artreyu.

Sometimes, it's just watching the way a certain character feels and try to understand them.. I guess I like dwelling in some darker places for a while, for reasons IDK lol. It's either dark or comedy/gag anime for me lol, I'm moved by more darker/sad things I guess because it's more substantial for me and closer to reality I think. Probably the same reason why comedy and lighthearted material is made, to escape reality... _oak said: GITS :) ..same, I have seen the movie so many times and still wish to watch it again.. what can I say, I am emotionally attached to it and it's a different sacred zone.. lol What do you love about Tetsuo? another contrast in similarity :D Oh, Tatami Galaxy is on my PTW. but yes, I tried watching it a few months ago but the fast-paced dialogue was too much for me and gave up quickly without putting any efforts.. :p ..I've got to watch it sometime. What are your other favorites? Yeh, I'm planning to watch it again I think in the holidays or close to New Years maybe as a sort of 'reflection' day LOL. I'm really really attached to it too... I like how Tetsuo is really flawed and I feel his pain, all the time he always feel small and inferior and he relishes when he finally has power, I pity him a lot actually and feel bad about how it all ended, I think he just wanted acceptance but also he became toxic because of his environment and the attitudes of other people and how he was treated. Actually I don't blame him in a sense because I don't think he could trust anyone after he got power too which is why he kept rampaging, it was filling the void in him and the imbalance ironically by giving him power which was the other extreme. You should try to finish Tatami if you can, I want to watch it again actually as well, I love the scenes he has with Akashi but all the other characters are unique too and have important roles.. it's great. Probably another New Year watch tbh LOL. |
ArtreyuNov 20, 2019 7:31 AM
| Maybe it was Nausika but I didn't even know then that I was watching an anime. |
 |
| Paradise Kiss... holy shit. That was the first romance anime I saw and it literally killed me at the end. It was so realistic and relatable. I should re-watch it at some point and finish Nana... but I remember like balling the next day thinking about it. This was like 5 years ago that I watched it though, might not be as impactful now. |
| for me it was Inuyasha cause I feel so nostalgic watching it. Now a days, I might get laughed at but attack on titan I am invested into that the most with its story. |

Yo yus ParaKiss is the so goood... actually I want to re-watch too to see how I feel about it again since it's been about 5 years as well! The ending killed me too and they had to play Lonely in Gorgeous while it was still playing lol. Definitely finish Nana, I really like some of the character relationships and how it panned out.. I see you have Req Phantom in your fav list too, the ending of that was also... I watched that when I was in HS and got depressed LOL. |
Artreyu said: I tried starting to watch Nana after I finished Paradise Kiss but I was already like emotionally weak! And the first episodes of Nana were YET AGAIN HEART BREAKING so I had to stop watching it 4 episodes in. But you're right, this was 5 years ago, I need to get it together and watch it! m0llerz said: Paradise Kiss... holy shit. That was the first romance anime I saw and it literally killed me at the end.

And why my gosh, I think I have a thing for depressing ass anime. But yes, I watched it in HS too. I went through this phase gun phase and I loved the dynamic of the characters. Yeah, I definitely need to go down memory lane. Good times. |
| First one was probably Grave Of The Fireflies. The one that affected me the most was Your Lie In April which I watched a little over a month ago actually. I sat through all 22 episodes in a day and I was bawling by the end. |
I like but I don't know if it'll be your taste xD, I only watched the newer one 'Tokyo 2040' not the original and when I was younger/going through puberty, but I'm attached for nostalgia purposes I guess and love the opening track and Priss's singing. _oak said: Ya, he wants people to figure it out.. and, he manages himself (emotionally) so well, in my eyes.. and he expects the same in others although he never says it.. it really appeals to me.. thinking about Joji is making me want to watch Parakiss again :) Yus "Joji" and gotta say with the accent also  Yeh, he will never tell you what to do even though he has certain hidden expectations I guess LOL, it's quite funny and charming for the viewer actually, it reminds me of the scenes where Yukari is being immature when his mother comes to visit. Joji doesn't directly confront her though iirc and Yukari keeps being a bit spoilt. It's harder to watch now since they took down some streaming sites since I was trying to re-watch a few episodes the other day actually... _oak said: Oh gosh, I've been wanting that a lot as I grew up and friends got busy, that close bond even if we don't regularly see each other feels unattainable.. My dad has a friend like that, who, even if they don't meet each other for years, but when they come together, it's like they met just yesterday. And, any day either of them reaches out or is aware, there's that love and friendship.. I hope you find a friend like that.. maybe it's just a matter of time.. :) It's probably harder to find nowadays in the technology age ironically, I think these types of relationships are more common in older generations so it makes sense with your father. :P Iunno, everyone is just 100x more busy so it's harder to form genuine connection even if the sentiment is there... everyone's in a rat race so it's understandable I guess. Bills/rent getting more expensive, education getting more useless etc, it's hard to breath for most people so relationships usually boil down to professional contact/and or "you're useful I'll keep you/you're useless/uninteresting I'll discard you" sort of thing... :/ I have close online friends only basically LOL, but it sucks because they live across the globe and then I get insecure thinking if we could meet, I'd want to be perfect before I meet them because I feel lesser/unequal lol. @_@ And then it's like impossible to make friends irl lol. _oak said: Are you into arts, besides an... admirer of artistic expression, like a specific hobby or career perhaps? :) That's true.. besides being able to access this space within themselves, just to believe in yourself and your expression, not caring for judging eyes - is in itself very courageous thing! :) ..with Joji, Isabella was able to blossom gracefully :D I............ play, a musical instrument. :0  Too bad I'm not hot like Hagi though x] It's helpful they have their little circle though so they have their own family protection from prejudice, also since Joji was exceptional and everyone loved him too helps lol. It's harder for artists alone especially since they will get criticized by other artists too. NAAAAAAMIDA GA AFURETEEeeee _oak said: Ya carefree and really pure-hearted, in my eyes :p I thought she had some memory thing going on as well. But synesthesia makes sense :D ..she did have something with her wondrous memory, it's how the notes 'hit' her that she can produce them later just by listening.. I just thought synaesthesia because the imagery they put and that floating orbs too lol, I knew a pianist who had synesthesia and she told me all the keys have floating lights of different shades and shapes and the hue always changed or something o.o _oak said: Thanks for sharing Artreyu! ..are you into classical music??:) ..I'm not very familiar with classics, but the arrangement of music in Nodame Cantabile was beautiful :D ahhh it's true. there's several scenes with Nodame and Chiaki that made me feel that way.. I think it's one of the best things to experience. Just listening to good music with someone you love feels magical, and to create music in harmony... ..this reminds me, going off-anime here, have you seen the movie 'Once'? There's a beautiful scene... (maybe I need to put it in context, here there are two people, almost strangers who just create music together in harmony, they later develop feelings for one another... ignore this if it's way out of context :D ) Classical is my bread and butter basically :o, so I loved the series a lot, actually they didn't use very much arrangements except for when thingie was playing Beethoven Spring sonata crazily LOL. Ironically I didn't enjoy Shigatsu (Your lie in April) much >_<, probably if I wasn't familiar with the music/musician life I'd enjoy it more. My friends rave over it lol but I liked Chiaki/Nodame's relationship better, even though the anime is played as a comedy it seems more sincere to me idk. :P I haven't seen that movie :O, maybe I'll watch it one day. Lol there's Mozart in the background poster behind her and I think the other one is Verdi haha _oak said: Hmm guess all she needs is a little bit of training? I always thought she wanted a job like kindergarten teacher because, in taking care of kids she'd be at her more natural.. she's creative, loving, goofy, unbridled.. is a type of person that needs to be set free, atleast majority of the time.. Pursuing professional music means she would have to subscribe to a life that is bound by discipline, a 'system' of doing things.. poor Noda would be crushed in such a life :( Mmmmm, that's the irony though, music is freedom when you get to a certain level, she had freedom of expression already she just needed polishing and work in stylistic playing I guess. I think she'd be fine since she was already doing concerts + with Chiaki too since she had passion for music regardless. :P You often get these contradictions though, one of my favourite badminton players said if she wasn't a badminton player she would be a childcare teacher lol. There's also a great French violinist who whimsically said he'd be a gardener if he wasn't a violinist since he loved gardening. x] You are also right though, it is extremely difficult.... _oak said: Haha, I too watch GITS, Paprika, Millennium Actress on some special days or periods of the year lol like my birthday week, new year's/year ending lol :p .. That's great you feel that way about Tetsuo.. :) poor dude had been through a lot. Oh, I will watch Tatami Galaxy soon, surely, it's high up on my PTW.. I'm watching Monster, Inuyasha, Samurai Champloo right now.. (although, I haven't seen Samurai since over a week), and have been binging on Monster since yesterday.. Have you seen it? I'm waiting for these to finish.. I need to finish Monster too, I have so many anime/movies I want to watch but waiting for the right time so I can really enjoy them... I miss being younger when I could I just escape into stories easily, now it's like I'm stuck in reality so it's harder for me to sit down. :l Hopefully around New Year's or late Decemeber but I still have a lot of rl life stuff to do.  Ohhh... another one I really need to finish is TEXHNOLYZE sdfiasjfhaskjfask, I keep meaning to watch it but I know once I do I'll get sucked into oblivion and not be able to come out for awhile LOL so I'm waiting for a "safe" life period to watch it when I won't need to do anything important @_@. |

You needa build yourself up again and watch the rest of it so you can break down again afterwards yo!  I know though, I love depressing stuff too I need moar, I think it was my first gun anime too when growing up and I was like "wow this is hot" LOL. R.I.P they have to ruin everyone's day by playing this in the finale scene too ffs :< (funimation uploaded the last episode on YT if you wanna be depressed again LOL) |

| Naruto. I mean is very easy to understand why, since two of the biggest (if not the biggest) strengths of the series were the action and the drama. Btw shoutouts to whoever mentioned Paradise Kiss above, that anime was great. |
| Black Jack and Elfen Lied. I was so young when I watched them with my older sister. She must have wanted to traumatize me during my childhood but I actually love these animes. |

I think this is such a wise/mature way of being. It's so easy to show what you expect from others, and to behave the way others want you to.. But if given the complete choice, what would you choose? I think that is what Joji wanted to see in everyone.. he's quite emotionally independent too, even if he may express himself or expect/pursuade someone.. but he always says at the end of the day, you should make up your own mind, take life into your own hands, walk your path and know what's what (even emotionally) IDK if I'm rambling away, this is the feeling and subsequent feelings I got from watching and thinking of Joji those days :p ..I used to think of him a lot while watching the show as you can tell, quite like Yukari did :p Oh, it must be on kissanime Artreyu!

Yaa.. times have.. changed a lot. Unlike our parents' time. As I think about it I fee like even my parents feel the brunt of changed times, it's just that ONE friend haha. Ya, you're right, the sentiments are there but, it's like the faces change more often than the poor heart can handle lol. Oh yes, because we're so burdened with material pursuits so much that we totally suppress or chuck away that part of us that can stop, look into another person's eyes, share some moments even if they have no activity or 'goal', some people have become different where any energy or time they spend on you should bring something out of it.. where love never has purpose or use.. I guess.. but let's not lose hope, Artreyu! :p ..there are people in our lives.. I think that everyone feels it, feels and yearns for love and companionships.. maybe it's matter of time for us.. Ah, I'm sure your friends would accept you.. But I understand, that pressure of not meeting up to whatever expectations they may have.. but don't worry.. TBH, IDK what to expect of friendships.. you know, other than just go with the flow.. it happens, yay, I'll keep counting the moments as they happen as blessings.. if they don't, I guess I will continue to hope for that one friend and to be a good friend.. :p (I can be a bad friend :'( ) Artreyu said: I............ play, a musical instrument. :0 Too bad I'm not hot like Hagi though x] It's helpful they have their little circle though so they have their own family protection from prejudice, also since Joji was exceptional and everyone loved him too helps lol. It's harder for artists alone especially since they will get criticized by other artists too. that's so... kuuurruuuuu!! ..you play cello wow!  artists are very special in my eyes, you guys are blessed bunch :p I think I romanticize them a little in my head :D ..really though, I wonder what it must feel like to play music.. do you play cello often, go to classes? (you don't have to go into details if it's personal). So, this is also a reason for your interest in classical music? I think you must've watched and felt Nodame Cantabile much differently than non-musicians do :p But who's Hagi.. I googled, he's from Blood Plus, (would you recommend?) Oh I love this song so much, it's what made me watch the show! :) <3 Artreyu said: I just thought synaesthesia because the imagery they put and that floating orbs too lol, I knew a pianist who had synesthesia and [bold]she told me all the keys have floating lights of different shades and shapes and the hue always changed or something o.o[/bold] :o ...that's... I can just wonder what it must feel like.. that's amazing. Artreyu said: Classical is my bread and butter basically :o, so I loved the series a lot, actually they didn't use very much arrangements except for when thingie was playing Beethoven Spring sonata crazily LOL. Ironically I didn't enjoy Shigatsu (Your lie in April) much >_<, probably if I wasn't familiar with the music/musician life I'd enjoy it more. My friends rave over it lol but I liked Chiaki/Nodame's relationship better, even though the anime is played as a comedy it seems more sincere to me idk. :P I haven't seen that movie :O, maybe I'll watch it one day. Lol there's Mozart in the background poster behind her and I think the other one is Verdi haha Maybe I'm being silly, but how beautiful :p ..I'm jealous of you all musicians! :D Oh I see, I thought all of it was classical... as for Your Lie in April ..*hi 5* ..I get you, how it didn't feel sincere or... IDK how to say it, but it felt too much bright or just.. too much (dramatic, is it the right word, IDK) lol, even in the simplest of scenes.. Although I must say, I got carried away emotionally during emotional scenes despite all that, some scenes touched me hehe :p ..I didn't complete watching it, stopped at episode 19, because somehow during my youtube/google searches I found out that the main character would die or something, and I just felt like.. not watching it, it's been sitting in my on-hold list since :p Not really averse to sad stories.. but, IDK.. lol.. I could relate to the young pianist, the dude with glasses, though.. after some incident I struggled with something I used to be good at and getting past it was/is difficult and the way his struggle was shown.. pierced my heart haha. Oh yah, lot of raving over Your Lie in April, and it's good anime, I can see why it's so well-liked.. but I can see what can put one off too.. as it put me off as well..I was divided the whole time I watched it, a few times wanting to drop it before I did. Artreyu said: Mmmmm, that's the irony though, music is freedom when you get to a certain level, she had freedom of expression already she just needed polishing and work in stylistic playing I guess. I think she'd be fine since she was already doing concerts + with Chiaki too since she had passion for music regardless. :P You often get these contradictions though, one of my favourite badminton players said if she wasn't a badminton player she would be a childcare teacher lol. There's also a great French violinist who whimsically said he'd be a gardener if he wasn't a violinist since he loved gardening. x] You are also right though, it is extremely difficult.... ahhh.. hmm, I got what you said previously, I guess we look for balance :) ..so was Nodame searching for balance by something ordinary like being school teacher, when she was so natural at music.. ya I can recall some real life examples like this :p Artreyu said: I need to finish Monster too, I have so many anime/movies I want to watch but waiting for the right time so I can really enjoy them... I miss being younger when I could I just escape into stories easily, now it's like I'm stuck in reality so it's harder for me to sit down. :l Hopefully around New Year's or late Decemeber but I still have a lot of rl life stuff to do. Ohhh... another one I really need to finish is TEXHNOLYZE sdfiasjfhaskjfask, I keep meaning to watch it but I know once I do I'll get sucked into oblivion and not be able to come out for awhile LOL so I'm waiting for a "safe" life period to watch it when I won't need to do anything important @_@. Oh, don't ask why, but that felt sad to read :( well.. as long as you can find relaxation in something at the end of the day.. Hey, that's great you are aware and waiting for safe period! Do you read up on a show before watching it? :p ..Texhnolyze definitely can feel depressing Artreyu, it is atleast disturbing (for me).. I watched it recently and though I wasn't too carried away, it may have the potential to really send one into a hopeless dark place especially if one is in vulnerable state.. even if we put aside everything it delves into, the mere atmosphere can put you in a mood.. so, you're right, maybe you'll 'enjoy' it sometime else when it's 'safe' :) ..it's a brilliant show though.. one of my favorites of all time |

| It has to be Parasyte, this was the first anime I watched that made me cry. The feels I got when the side character died was shocking especially since it showed that even killers have emotions. |

| The first one was probably Space Brothers. The story and characters have inspired me to work toward my goals, and the ability of that series to get me emotionally invested was a big reason for me getting into anime in the first place (I suggest giving it a try if you haven't already). |
 |
| Call me a basic ass weeb, but the first anime to do that to me is probably Naruto. It's a show I grew up watching as a kid, and it was kinda strange in the sense that the characters "grew up" over time too, so that change was a bit significant and emotional for me. Naruto started off as the literal village idiot and well, look how things turned out years later. It's also just a weird situation that I don't see a lot, because most animes only run for 12-24 episodes, nowhere near as long as Naruto's been around. I know this kind of development is possible in shorter animes, I guess what I'm trying to say is that the rate that this happened in Naruto kinda ran alongside the years of my childhood. I don't really know how else to explain it. I guess it's just a heaping pile of nostalgia. |

Sorry will reply soon just been busy .____. |
| I think that'd be Assassination Classroom. I could sympathize with Nagisa and Gakushuu. I could see where Karma, Terasaka, Chiba, and many other characters were coming from and what shaped them up to be who they are. Korosensei is a teacher I never could have. The anime taught me a lot and the second last and last episode had me close to tears. Gintama was amazing, too. It showed that everyone has feelings and emotions, even villains. It's just that some people have made mistakes. But I have to go for AssClass. |

| Sailor M...I mean Venus Senki. OK, I am joking. It was Hi no Tori 2772: Ai no CosmoZone. I was 8-9 years old at the time (around 1981) and I hated having such strong emotional response. Since then I neven't let any other piece of fiction to influence/manipulate me in such ways. I prefer to be an observer not part of the process. |
| Clannad, and then the ending happened and ruined that all for me. But Clannad was the first. |
| Grave of fireflies for me. It really made me think about the things I take for granted in life, including my relationship with my sibling that I never really tried to get along with before. |
   |
| Cowboy Bebop. Dragged me into the anime world. |
_oak said: Oh, I am quite into the retro or 80s aesthetic! :p Opening track and 'Priss'..I shall remember! Yeh, I like it to look a bit grungy, modern anime is nice looking too but I feel like the realism is lost a bit, also love the atmospheric scenes at Sylia's place too in Bubblegum, those are some of my favourite also. Actually I would say that type of aesthetic and older anime in general make me anxious a bit or feel weird and timeless it's really hard to explain lol (not in an off-putting way). Newer anime I feel more complacent and at ease I guess so it's easy to watch at anytime (safe but unfeeling), but when I go on those nostalgia trips or reflection days I need to have no committments because of the uneasiness and anxiety I get from the older anime lol. I love these openings too from Orphen _oak said: teheee yep with the accent "Joji" ..it's so cute, whenever I think of George, I have to mentally say 'Joji' lol :p Ya, he never tells you what to do, think.. it's like he expects you to make up your own mind, and act independently.. I think this is such a wise/mature way of being. It's so easy to show what you expect from others, and to behave the way others want you to.. But if given the complete choice, what would you choose? I think that is what Joji wanted to see in everyone.. he's quite emotionally independent too, even if he may express himself or expect/pursuade someone.. but he always says at the end of the day, you should make up your own mind, take life into your own hands, walk your path and know what's what (even emotionally) IDK if I'm rambling away, this is the feeling and subsequent feelings I got from watching and thinking of Joji those days :p ..I used to think of him a lot while watching the show as you can tell, quite like Yukari did :p Oh, it must be on kissanime Artreyu! And when Isabella says Joji it's so expressed it makes me laugh lol, remember this scene: Yeh he was still very happy with Yukari's choice in the end since he felt it sincere as well despite her being torn between him leaving and all. Actually you're right about that too which is funny, even though he can be persuasive sometimes he still enjoys the opposition and differing opinions/independent choices others make. :P Ironically that's what probably makes people more attracted and more likely to do what he wants though because he gives them complete freedom lol. You have a crush on him x], like Yukari! _oak said: Yaa.. times have.. changed a lot. Unlike our parents' time. As I think about it I fee like even my parents feel the brunt of changed times, it's just that ONE friend haha. Ya, you're right, the sentiments are there but, it's like the faces change more often than the poor heart can handle lol. Oh yes, because we're so burdened with material pursuits so much that we totally suppress or chuck away that part of us that can stop, look into another person's eyes, share some moments even if they have no activity or 'goal', some people have become different where any energy or time they spend on you should bring something out of it.. where love never has purpose or use.. I guess.. but let's not lose hope, Artreyu! :p ..there are people in our lives.. I think that everyone feels it, feels and yearns for love and companionships.. maybe it's matter of time for us.. Ah, I'm sure your friends would accept you.. But I understand, that pressure of not meeting up to whatever expectations they may have.. but don't worry.. TBH, IDK what to expect of friendships.. you know, other than just go with the flow.. it happens, yay, I'll keep counting the moments as they happen as blessings.. if they don't, I guess I will continue to hope for that one friend and to be a good friend.. :p (I can be a bad friend :'( ) They have each other at least though lol, so assuming they're not divorced/unhappy they can be lazy and live out their days together lmao. Problem is it takes time to get to know people, people are scared to invest (use their time) in getting to know someone without "reward" so of course this makes the whole process more clinical lol, this is because we're more busy as well so time becomes even more precious. The whole thing feels less special now though, but even then looking back at my childhood and teens everything seems to have happened incidental and circumstantially, like how people segragate into certain groups, it's annoying sort of lol. I want more oddball relationships and not for things to be like "ofc that happened look what x and x has and y and y has" :/, things are too "ideal" or cliche or "of course they're together" "of course they're friends" I need some power clash lol, I guess I'm just sick of seeing the same patterns over and over and being like "ofc this is how it is" ._______. It's really weird, like in dating, let's say everyone got a partner who matched all their fantasy/dream qualities, would it really be special then? Wouldn't it just be clinical? Everyone could gush over their partners and what not but idk, it just doesn't feel right somehow, like wouldn't the way they make you feel be artificial because it's everything you wanted, or more realistically "ideal", since irl some people have their "ideals" in both friendships/relationships. I hate that everyone can't know everyone on a deeper level, that would be amazing I think, and solve so many problems because of shared empathy. It's hard to explain, I guess I've changed a lot now because it's been a long time since I've felt "real" or "here" with a real person or anyone, so I'm looking for something much more substantial and very specific but it's hard to actually pinpoint. Also it's probably difficult to find because it's abstract as well, and that's hard to pull off these days because most rl life conversation is about the daily grind understandably lol. But even then, those conversations idm with the right people too which is another case... I guess I'm just getting bored of the same old same old patterns in life that I see everywhere irl, it doesn't feel special. :/ Irl you can't show vulnerability, you have to facade perfection and having your life together, there's some truths to how people behave online either in cruelty and offense or vulnerability with one another because we're protected by anonymity. _oak said: that's so... kuuurruuuuu!! ..you play cello wow! artists are very special in my eyes, you guys are blessed bunch :p I think I romanticize them a little in my head :D ..really though, I wonder what it must feel like to play music.. do you play cello often, go to classes? (you don't have to go into details if it's personal). So, this is also a reason for your interest in classical music? I think you must've watched and felt Nodame Cantabile much differently than non-musicians do :p But who's Hagi.. I googled, he's from Blood Plus, (would you recommend?) Rofl  I sometimes wish I didn't have a passion though, it's hard to exist sometimes when you're constantly thinking about the topic all hours @___@, in my case it's the fingerboard, my hands, or a certain piece of music, and then if I've done a recent performance the pieces will keep playing over and over for the next day usually and getting flashbacks and stuff. To answer your question I HAVE to practice everyday or at least touch the instrument (play a bit), I used to study privately as well with a teacher (everyone instrumentalist does), then there's orchestra(s) and chamber (smaller groups) as well. Probably if you play any stringed instrument (Violin, Viola, Cello, Contrabass) you're interested in classical because you need traditional classical training for technique. :o I probably perceived Nodame differently yeh but it's still comedic and dramatized of course lol, Your Lie also too, they exaggerated a lot I feel and made people seem more rude than they would be irl LOL. People are more polite/kinder even in competition settings, it's bad to be rude because of networking and such and most of the soloists I've seen don't talk to anyone at all before they're about to go on, they are warming up or in the corner or something or in their dresser room. But on the other side, people are judgmental but they would keep it to themselves and be tactful lol. Ionno, I guess it's supposed to be over-dramatized Your Lie but from my perspective it's a bit funny lol... probably only thing I dislike is clique-type stuff or "social" uptrading idk what to call it, but that occurs everywhere irl, it's just more pronounced in skill-based artistic/sports things like everyone wanting to be friends with the prodigy/principal players/best artistic/most athletic etc .___. On stage it's different though because the music, actually everything becomes familial on stage which is quite ironic lol. Yeh Hagi is from Blood+, I actually haven't watched it yet and I only know about him from a friend mentioning x] and me googling anime cellists LOL, I know he plays Bach's 5th suite in the series though which gives me cosplay ideas one day and then I'll actually be able to play the 5th Suite at x anime con which would be funny, actually would be so funny to cosplay as Hagi and then someone can be Shaiapouf (from HxH) and play violin lol, or Black Butler lmao, wow and then we can play trios :O. _oak said: Oh I love this song so much, it's what made me watch the show! :) <3 I love this  Nice taste... You changed your profile again to moon theme :O _oak said: Maybe I'm being silly, but how beautiful :p ..I'm jealous of you all musicians! :D Oh I see, I thought all of it was classical... as for Your Lie in April ..*hi 5* ..I get you, how it didn't feel sincere or... IDK how to say it, but it felt too much bright or just.. too much (dramatic, is it the right word, IDK) lol, even in the simplest of scenes..

I could relate to the young pianist, the dude with glasses, though.. after some incident I struggled with something I used to be good at and getting past it was/is difficult and the way his struggle was shown.. pierced my heart haha. Oh yah, lot of raving over Your Lie in April, and it's good anime, I can see why it's so well-liked.. but I can see what can put one off too.. as it put me off as well..I was divided the whole time I watched it, a few times wanting to drop it before I did. Don't be jealous :P, sometimes I wish I didn't love(?) it or always think about it 24/7 lol. It's impossible though, as soon as I discovered that instruments/these sounds existed it was over from there lol. So I do envy people who can brush these things off and go on about life lol, though that can also mean one is obsessed with another field too. .____. Oh Nodame was all classical yeh, they only jazzed up that Spring Sonata for that scene and then some of the trio stuff at the beginning where Nodame is playing with the others lollll, but all of it is from the composers yeh iirc what the characters performed. In Shigatsu they had to use some arrangements for the collaborations. I mean I did get emotional too for some of the performances like Kreutzer (because it was performance) but idk, it was really hard for me to get through the actual show lol, I actually did drop it 3 times before too... Honestly I got annoyed at the end LOL. It could have been much more beautiful and poetic I thought and less... "tsuny" idk lol. I think I'm being overly critical though because it's a story within my field, the story concept is great, but it could've been so much more if they made it a bit more authentic. There's a few very beautiful people who died young irl in the music world who were considered "great" and a few performers who have died from heart attacks after performances, but in their memorials it's more sad, some of their colleagues regret having written certain negative letters and stuff because they loved them as family in the end (they never got to apologize). Probably I mainly liked the performance scenes the most like Emi's Chopin :P and the last performances with Kaori's improvs :d. I like the light-heartedness though since it's all over Nodame lmao, but probably if I made Shigatsu it would be a bit darker or morbid but then it would probably appeal less to people and not have good closure lol. I guess it works out because the story works out because they're in their teens and I'm just being critical. x] _oak said: ahhh.. hmm, I got what you said previously, I guess we look for balance :) ..so was Nodame searching for balance by something ordinary like being school teacher, when she was so natural at music.. ya I can recall some real life examples like this :p Yeh, she was :d, it's hard to escape though really at a certain level, I'm no prodigy but it's the only thing I have in this life really that's of anything substantial. So for her, since she's gifted (imo) it's even worse it's too hard to put aside despite wanting an ordinary/modest life. Either way both ways are difficult though, you're either gonna be miserable in a deadend job of dying because you have to reach perfection LOL which I picked the latter because I'll probably regret so much if I didn't pursue, I can't not though because I'm always thinking about it .______. _oak said: Do you read up on a show before watching it? :p ..Texhnolyze definitely can feel depressing Artreyu, it is atleast disturbing (for me).. I watched it recently and though I wasn't too carried away, it may have the potential to really send one into a hopeless dark place especially if one is in vulnerable state.. even if we put aside everything it delves into, the mere atmosphere can put you in a mood.. so, you're right, maybe you'll 'enjoy' it sometime else when it's 'safe' :) ..it's a brilliant show though.. one of my favorites of all time No :O, I've heard Texhnolyze's OST though and I really like it, I first saw it selling at an anime con when I was younger and always wanted to watch it then but never got to it so it's been on my list forever lol Sorry I took so long to reply too, I'm just a bit stressed atm  |

| A Silent Voice made me feel empty at multiple points during the film and during the ending I completely lost it. Not sure if it was the first but it’s the first one that came to my head |
