I produce music more than write about it since I can't hear the notes I'd be writing on a score. I produce on a DAW so on computer. It's been 3 years and I don't know all of music theory but I've come to learn some of it, but honestly speaking I think sound theory matters way more? Like, equalization, reverb, distortion, overdrive, mixing/mastering in space... Music is like writing, it's true, and I like to write quick and short, and do it a lot. That's why my pieces don't excede 5 minutes, generally speaking. With 2 being the average, actually.
Konohana Kitan is one of my favorite anime, and I wrote an article on the manga to share it with French-speaking people. It's a whole mood with the episodic structure, slight cast development, moral teachings, spiritual encounters... I like the part with spirituality and the purity of relationships. But Konohana Kitan is also yuri, so maybe it's that part you didn't like? Feminity has a big part in it, with reifying characters like Ren. Well, pacing ain't that spicy too. It's fine if you want to slow down your heartbeat.
Doga Kobo has some huge variation between visual novel and 4koma manga and normal manga adaptations. But there are a few trends, I guess you probably buy more into the mood found in Doga Kobo's productions after Yuru Yuri (2011)? Because Doga Kobo's comedies have a sort of hectic pacing, not the kind of slow mood you find in Konohana Kitan. In an academic paper, "Le modèle « base de données » d’Hiroki Azuma et sa mise à l’épreuve dans la série d’animation japonaise Lucky Star (2007)", I found that iyashi-kei was also linked to "kuuki-kei" or "atmosphere productions", that aimed to depict life as beautiful with its own rhythm, an attention on ephemeral things and their pleasures and bitterness, mono no aware, all that... Mono no aware is a concept that I believe stems from Buddhism, and if you're aware of the religion/philosophy it's about, you could probably get the slow rhythm. A whole philosophical depth

I also tried to do some lolicore with a few samples as a private project...
I did watch it in my early weeb life.
Never really outgrew it because I'm planning an article on iyashikei and Doga Kobo.
Truth be told I really rarely (1%) watch anime in a dubbed version. To gain access to the true version, because I already learnt Japanese and because it can strengthen my Japanese, and because it's also the norm to be able to interact with the anime community at large (Japan and the West and South-East Asia maybe?)
Kodomo no Jikan is pretty much the only story I've found that handles age gap romance really well, other stories usually either don't take it seriously or I don't really agree with them. Not that I mind, I like lolis in general so it doesn't need to be taken seriously for me, but KnJ is something special for sure.
PS: Makes sense, I rarely post so usually I am hidden in the shadows. Just figured I had to leave a comment for someone who also loved magical girl shows and Yama no Susume and who had a rating system that was similar to mine in some ways.
I loved Sansha Sanyou as well
Likewise, I also had a time watching it :) It was pretty unique. I CANNOT get Bajar and Anise_Punter to watch it, even though they loved the Cartado episode and the "mumumumumu" song. Not that I think they'd like Pop in Q, but it's something moe fans should be aware of.
Well that's a good way to start xD
