NagiAsu finished decently. I was satisfied, although there's a ton of stuff that disappointed me. I'd say if you're not invested in anybody then it's not worth finishing. Hikari is the best developed character I've seen in a looooooonng time. Solid 7/10 despite a few points of contempt.

Upon simmering down over NagiAsu, I'll watch the finale and let you know if it's worth the trouble. It's certainly good at starting a shitstorm, but you may just need to be a masochist to finish it.

I actually hadn't touched it since episode 8 aired three months ago. Wasn't sure where it was going. Then I gave it another shot on a whim. I'd say it's at least worth making it to episode 13.

I highly suggest you give Nagi no Asukara a high priority. It reminds me of both Anohana and Shinsekai Yori. Just marathoned it to catch up and...

man.

Hi! Would you like to support Tachibana Kanade in ISML 2014? http://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=57437

Thanks for the add. Watch THE iDOLM@STER :)

Haha I hope you don't take too much offense to this, but you started it so~

To assume I don't like shows with emotional impact is hilariously wrong, and character dynamics are at least half the reason Evangelion is one of my all-time favorites. I didn't like AnoHana because Mari Okada is a hack. It had a very strong start, and I had high hopes for it, but it was a huge disappointment. The interactions of all the characters but Menma with each other were mostly quite well done and natural for a group of friends who hadn't seen each other in a decade, but Menma is just terrible. She's the blobbiest of blobs, and everyone who ever met her absolutely adored her for no good reason. Everyone's feelings about Menma, especially 10 years after her death, are ridiculous and unbelievable, even if you pretend she was actually a good character when she was still alive (she wasn't). However good the other aspects of an anime (the visuals and sound were fantastic, for instance) may be, revolving it around such a terrible "character" is a good way to ruin it. But moving on, the plot itself is completely absurd, too. Over half the series is wasted on Jinta trying to convince the others that Menma's ghost is actually present, when all she had to do was pick up a newspaper and beat them over the heads with it. The most hilarious part is that they actually point out how utterly stupid this is in the series itself. "Haha, oops! Silly me; I wasted the last 8 episodes of this 11-episode series." Most of the characters (Menma notwithstanding) are supposed to be of at least average intelligence, so it's clearly a matter of dragging shit out unnecessarily just to fill the 11 episodes with as much ham-fisted melodrama as possible. Then you get to the ending, which also drags on longer than it should have, because they needed to cram it full of still more over-the-top melodrama -- the worst bit of all being the big finale ("IF WE ALL CRY PROFUSELY, SURELY THE AUDIENCE WILL, TOO!!"). It was an embarrassment. I didn't burst into laughter like Ricardo, but I definitely groaned.

Honestly, the only reason I rated it as high as a 5 rather than the 3 or 4 it probably deserves is that I do like, as you so flatteringly called them, "shows with emotional impact." Shows like Kanon and Clannad were able to move me to tears despite their glaring flaws, so I gave them undeservedly high scores. AnoHana (and Angel Beats, for that matter) just failed to move me enough to make up for the general stupidity of it all.

As for Nichijou, I really wanted to like it, because I think it's gorgeous from a visual perspective, but I just couldn't sit through any more of it. The laughs were too few and far between for me.

AnoNatsu...yeah, I probably won't ever finish that. It seemed wayyyy too much like Please Teacher, but without the only thing that made Please Teacher worthwhile (the hot teacher). Take away the hot teacher, and PT is gutter trash.

The fact that you have AnoHana rated above a 5 implies that basically anything would make you want to cry.

...And Nichijou was boring 90% of the time. The few funny gags were too uncommon, and often stretched out for too long to stay funny.

Our compat is so low lol

Kill yourself.

This is Sasmit just in case you didn't know xD

Im shocked that out of all of the anime Ive seen, Nichijou was the first slice of life. Dont think I like the genre much after it, but the other two slice of life I followed were enjoyable, nice characters. Curious if more slice of life will come next season, as this spring season, dont think there were any.

Moshi moshi.

WAH!

Hey hey! :D
