[@destituteanddecadent9106]

Ngl the more I rewatch La La Land the more mid it feels. To the point that recently it feels more like a parody than an earnest film. The first time I watched it, in theaters when I was 17, it was my movie of the year. The complex reality of adult relationships, old movie references, I ate that shit up. Now at 24 it comes off as overly trite and preachy. Trying too hard to be deeper than it is. It didn't help that I'd always thought the buildup part of the romance was lacking. And they spent 70% of the runtime on it! 😂 Mind you it was the type of movie where they really needed to sell the romance for it to work. If the audience doesn't believe that their love is real, the rest of the movie loses its meaning. The whole movie would be rendered pointless. And the moviemakers knew that, which is why they very deliberately kept the focus on the romantic relationship the ENTIRE TIME and nothing else... Yet I still had no idea why the characters loved each other! So you see why it feels simultaneously overwrought and under-delivered, like a parody of the "romance for romance's sake" trope in Hollywood filmmaking.

41:03 In defense of Shinkai, there was an interview where he said Suzume wasn't originally intended to be a "boy-meets-girl" romance, but his producer told him to make it that way due to audience expectations. It's why Souta is a chair for most of the movie - because Shinkai, in an act of rebellion, wanted to make something else the focal point of the movie. In that sense, the criticism that Shinkai can only make the same movie is kind of ironic

[@summernovah]

And honestly, with the way it ends, it can be interpreted a multitude of ways, which i think was pretty cool. Like its obvious that they're super important to each other and love each other (platonically, romantically, or in some pther way) but anything more than that isn't defined, and i thought that was kind of nice.

The conversation about live action vs animated romance turned into a really great example of the differences in preferences that people have for different mediums with Garnt being for animated, Connor being for live action, and Joey being in the middle. A big reason I think that romance was a good angle to approach that conversation from is that it’s a genre where the more obvious strengths of animation don’t really shine and the limitations of live action aren’t really present so it’s more of a level playing field to discuss the fundamental strengths and weaknesses of both sides and what preferences you can have for each.

Hot take, La La Land didn't work in the way it was intended. The buildup of the romance didn't sell me on why the two loved each other. So obviously the devolvement arc had much less of an impact since, y'know, it never really was a great love to begin with. It took itself so seriously that it ended up being ironically funny.

[@expensivenes2645]

​@destituteanddecadent9106 I liked la la land but pretty much only because of the music and the visuals Characters and plot was forgettable

44:00 The movie Connor is talking is *The vow* with Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams, the movie is about a married couple, they had an accident and the girl looses her memories including him, so the guy does everything that's possible to make her fall in love with him one more time and remember their moments together while many mysteries from her family come to light. It's a really good story

[@Necroskull388]

It’s funny that Gnart was surprised Sydney watched Naruto when for me, Naruto being on there (and specifically THAT image used for it) was the dead giveaway. I don’t know what shows Sydney has seen or hasn’t seen, but she is EXACTLY that person who wore a Naruto headband to school in the late 2000’s and ran with her arms behind her back.

Hold on to your seats... not just the Vinland Saga author was inspired by Wickie the Viking to make Vinland Saga... Oda was ALSO inspired by Wickie the Viking to make One Piece! This fact still blows my mind after years since I never knew that show was so popular in Japan. I saw it as a little kid in German television. It was a dope show for children and for its time. It was made by a Japanese animation studio from which Nippon Animation was later on formed. So it was made by a Japanese animation studio for German speaking television but they obviously also aired it with a Japanese dub in Japan which is why these two probably also saw it back then. Ngl the fact that a childrens cartoon that was produced for the German TV network ZDF and Austrian TV network ORF (state funded TV channels) inspired these goated Japanese authors to make these masterpieces makes me more proud to be German than anything else in this world. And I don't really feel patriotic about anything else. Also massive props to the Swedish author, Runer Jonsson, who wrote the original series of children's books which were then adapted into the German cartoon series produced by the Japanese. Just a really wild collab.

The manga is so good. I'm especially disappointed in Joey for not even knowing about it. :'(

Also Miyazaki finished the manga after the film (I think when the film was realised, he only had written the first 3 volumes). He changed the planned end, because he realised that Nausicaa was too much a bland figure with a message he didnt agree with anymore.

The written scenario by Maruto Fumiaki for the White Album 2 (WA2) two-part visual novel was an absolute masterpiece. People tend to downplay WA2's reputation from only watching its anime adaption, but we should always remember adaptions almost-always lower the quality of any original source that exist out there, especially ones with a lot of dialogue (light novels, visual novel games). But WA2 is definitely one of the best pieces of Japanese romance literature that exists out there due to the mastering of character interaction, dialogue, and inner monologue when it comes to romantic feelings and conflicts of the visual novel game.

I don’t feel the same. It was definitely the weakest romance of his last 3 movies but I didn’t feel it detracted from anything. It’s just the first one where it wasn’t a plus. All that said, I would have preferred the female be the older character (forgot his name).

The last 3x3 is definitely the best one here. Just straight good taste. It also has Lodoss War which is actually based on a D&D campaign the writer did in the 80s, and it was a multimedia project with games, and light novels that came out before the anime did. There is tons of RPGs for the PC-98, the PC Engine and SNES. It's really cool to see how a D&D campaign became an entire multimedia franchise like that.

Idk, a lot of people forget it, but in Toradora it does not start off as the main couple being together or even trying to, and the episode where Minori realizes Ryuji and Taiga just work better together and that it's heading that way, and she kinda breaks just sticks with me as one of those emotional scenes.

Joey saying he has never seen or heard of Akazukin Chacha actually surprises me. I remember as a really young kid watching this show in Taiwan (we used to have popular kids anime dubbed into Mandarin, probably still do, IDK) and so much of it is ingrained in my memory to the point that I randomly remembered this anime about a month ago with no prompt.

[@Darkness-lj5bh]

Don't know when I first remembered watching it, but I definitely remembering watching it on KZbin at one point. Part of it is due to the parts debacle (1, 2 and 3) being so prominent. It wasn't till later when I could actually finish it by using certain websites.

I concur. Cloverworks doing the best job that is to actually replicate the feeling and atmosphere of the manga. All the scores are original, the animation is crazy insane for a slice of life (480p looks like 4k in this show). They even have their own blue rays cover for each character episode. Crazy man

Immediately guessed Kevin Penkin's because he's probably the one great Earth Maiden Arjuna stan left on the planet and I respect that dedication immensely; and frankly, as the boys said, even if I weren't familiar with this fact, that nearly every show and film on there has a truly immaculate soundtrack and the one outlier is a very memorable and compelling entry in the animated dumpster fire canon would have tipped me off immediately. Also, conflict of interest or not, Made in Abyss is god-tier and he *should* be proud to have worked on it, let alone to have created one of the most iconic soundtracks in the medium. Extremely based chart. P.S. Shinkai has actually talked in interviews about how the very strange, perfunctory romance plotline in Suzume was a bit of malicious compliance on his part: He had floated a couple of ideas for films without his trademark angsty heterosexual romance plotting, whether devoid of romance entirely or exploring a lesbian relationship, and his producers shot him down under the belief that it wouldn't be marketable, so he decided to turn the male love interest into a literal piece of furniture and sideline him for most of the film.

Casshern Sins is what you combine when you have a badass cyborg shonen protagonist inside a tragic post-apocalyptic show. dealing with the concepts of existentialism and mortality. In a world where both robots and humans didn't use to age, but now can both age and rust and die, due to the apocalyptic landscape. Remember I got emotional in a scene were a robot screams in anguish while mourning at the gravestone of a dead child he used to take care of.

I get what Garnt means how seeing 'real actors' can stop his immersion in a romance story. idk if he just didn't word it well, or maybe I'm taking it differently.
