Thank you for the wishes!

(You got it right).

Done with interstella; I like Daft Punk and it was kinda cool even though I still think that like most music videos, it is better without the videos ^^

Cool rec though, I've seen parts of it before when listening to daft punk, didn't even realize it was anime

Hello. I am participating in the anime watching challenge and I would like to get recommendations from you.

I did actually read an article that sheds light on the cultural background of the anime. It's entitled "Exploring Mawaru Penguindrum (2011) from a Historical, Cultural and Literary Perspective", I wonder if it is the one you're referring to since it also gave a clue to the meaning of the apple. It was pretty interesting.

Except for Yuri Kuma Arashi, I've already heard of the anime you mentioned, but didn't pay much attention to it until now that you tell me about them haha so I'll consider giving them a try.

I totally agree with your opinion on the challenge and you're also right about watching anime at your own pace so yeah you shouldn't watch Shinsekai if you don't feel like it.

It was nice talking to you, bon courage for your exams !

(...and wow I had no idea we could have our challenge linked on our profile hahaha)

Hey !

It's been quite a while since I asked you for an anime recommendation. You suggested Hyouka and Mawaru Penguindrum and, I must say, thank you very much for advising me on such great shows !

Hyouka was very accessible and I really enjoyed every aspects of the anime : The art was outstanding, the characters endearing, and each part of the storyline curiously fascinating. I was hooked into it and often found myself thinking with the main characters as if I was actually with them. It must be due to Oreki reminding me my younger high schooler self ; I really wanted him to evolve as if I was looking back at me.

Mawaru Penguindrum, on the other hand was not as accessible as Hyouka. I mean I really considered dropping it after the first episode since I'm not fond of incest, and yet I decided to trust you and daamn feelsgoodman. The show was way more deeper than some scenarist's appetite for incest and other kind of fan-disservice ; It actually made me think of Shinsekai Yori in many regards as for the animation that seems cute but fits with the darkness of the plot, the complexity and the imbrolio of the characters and finally the different topics explored that make you take a step back and ponder over the humankind. How many atrocities are occurring elsewhere in the world while we are "chilling out" ? What is the most important valuable thing in one's life ? Is it power, success, loyalty, love ? What is even love, a nuance of selfishness ?
Anyway, I'm drifting away but that tells you how much I was affected by the anime, from the very beginning you can feel it's an heavy one. I really can't say I understood it entirely, far from it, but maybe the author's real intention was to draw the attention of the viewer on some specific topics like child abuse or adolescents' identity crisis.

Lastly, I am really having fun discovering anime in the awc though I'm progressing slowly (2, maybe 3 episodes a day), keep up the good work !

Thanks again for the recommendations.

P-S: You might want to watch Shinsekai Yori if you didn't already ;)

Haha, I'm just nostalgic towards it. It's something to talk about since so many people have seen it and certainly not reliant on audiovisuals at least :)

Thank you so much. I hope to eventually watch all of them.

Hey, can I get a recommendation for #102 for AWC 2018?

Oh right. Well, it's still easy to get mixed it up with something else, but yeah, I'm not particularly interested in a work just because it's influential. Thanks for the rec nonetheless.

The problem is that the only things I have either get killed by your criteria, or I know that you don't like them for other reasons, or they're fit for a rec but I haven't finished them. I have a borderline rec, but I'll wait until the end of the week to recommend it to see if someone else has something better. This is assuming you don't want a movie, or kids stuff (i.e. the stuff I watched as a kid, not stuff that I've seen after growing up) and the "no ecchi" is because you'll watch it while in transit, not because you find it obnoxious to sit through. Correct me if I'm wrong

It's not Strawberry Panic. It might be any of the countless catholic yuri things (or I read the short stories, that's also a possibility). It's been a while so I don't remember.

Either way, I'm done with three episodes, and this type of catholic yuri just doesn't work for me, it comes off as way too bs. I don't really have anything to rec to you unless you're ok with something I haven't finished. I'll see if I can finish a proper rec before anyone else posts haha.

I'm fine, thankies~^^

Oh lol. Then maybe I'm confusing it with something else, I dunno.

Nvm, looks like it doesn't have a manga in it's related titles even though it has a manga adaption. Oh well, I guess I'll watch 3 eps

I did ask for something without a manga in it's related titles on MAL (although thanks, it made me realize I had added the wrong version to my list xD)

Happy belated birthday^^
