[QUOTE=apurplerock;47259498]but I thought kissanime/manga were bad[/QUOTE]
Kissmanga is different, it just picks up chapters off Batoto and [I]generally[/I] doesn't compress JPEG and never compresses PNG. The only problem is the fact the site is irredeemably ugly and that it doesn't play too well with Webcomic Reader but that could be fixed if I wasn't a lazy prick.
It's also hella faster than the ripping bots from other sites for some odd reason with an average time of 2 hours.
holy fuck this manga is intense
thank you orkel
Your recommendations are always good Orkel.
orkel recommend everyone to read jitsu wa watashi wa its really good and its getting an anime this year
Does Gintama really take 20 episodes to establish everything?
Seems interesting thus far but kinda slow right now
[QUOTE=absolalone111;47258453]my evening has taken a rather confusing turn, because the movie im watching isnt the movie that i thought it was. Apparently 5cm per second isnt an action film. Like, ive obviously got it mixed up with something else, and if anyone has any ideas about films/shows with a title relating to measurements, and or time, could you let me know?[/QUOTE]
it doesn't matter because 5cm/s is great
[QUOTE=JohnFisher89;47260064]Does Gintama really take 20 episodes to establish everything?

yea it's roughly around 20 episodes till it starts picking up, then after that it goes like a bullet train

the art and animation is good but nothing else about it is.

5/cms is basically the crysis of anime

the point of the movie that I got was "relationships you make when you're a kid dont count for shit when you're an adult". Not exactly a revolutionary or groundbreaking thought.

5cms spoilers and autism ahead
[quote][sp]
The depth of 5cm/s lies in its realism. Almost all romance anime have exaggerated drama, numerous side characters, side love interests, countless character interactions. By contrast, 5cm/s is largely silent, and has little meaningful dialogue. But that’s the whole point. It’s the silence that speaks, not the words. It’s the subtleties in the character actions, expressions, pauses. It creates room for empathy. It’s realistic.
People argue that nothing happens, and from a general perspective, that’s true. The MC loves a girl, she moves away, he can’t get over her, and the film ends. But what makes this movie shine isn’t the plot. It’s the undertones and themes. You don’t watch this movie expecting some kind of plot progression and climax, where the characters voice aloud their inner anxieties and worries, where they throw their emotions at each other in the hopes of something happening. It’s more of a silent reflection on life, of emotional restraint and the seemingly contradictory actions we take sometimes. We want to reach out, but we don’t. Why do we hesitate? It’s a reflection on the inevitable effect of time and distance on human relationships.
Cell phones are not yet common. Social media doesn’t exist. They correspond by letter. But there’s only so much you can write out and convey in words. They grow older, the letters become fewer, until eventually there are none. And just like that, contact is severed forever.
It’s the tragedy called time. Time heals, and yet it also breaks apart. People grow up, they change, and they forget. Some, like the MC, never really do. And that’s where the innate sadness stems from. It’s the “what ifs” that he dwells on, the regret. “One more time, one more chance.” Years later, the MC is still hoping for some miraculous reunion. He never explicitly states how much he misses her. But the beauty of the film is that despite that, you can feel the weight of his emotions, his longing. The ending song voices everything that he (and Akari to a certain extent) is thinking. Deep down, both of them hope to somehow meet again. Wait, that girl there, she looks like her. Wait, that man there, he looks like him. Could that be them?
You might argue that the MC should’ve tried to do something about it, but the fact that he didn’t, and he couldn’t, makes this film all the more real. It’s very Japanese. No matter how close you may have once been, if five years, ten years pass without contact, especially in childhood, can you really be sure things will be the same if you try to meet again? Could you definitively say you wouldn’t hesitate?
When you move far away, you say your goodbyes, promise to correspond, and maybe you do for a bit. But your life and their life moves on, and gradually your memories fade. Maybe sometimes you reflect and think, “hey, remember ____? We used to be so close”, and then you realize you don’t know anything about them now. “I wonder how they’re doing?”, “What if I had stayed in touch?”, “Would we still be friends?” That complex mix of emotions, of sadness, regret, nostalgia, heartache-that’s what 5cm/s is. It digs out feelings that are hidden in your daily life, and it does so by creating room for quiet personal reflection.

[sp]I prefer Kai-Ni-Poi myself. I'm just hoping Bucky-Kai-Ni is a bit, Iunno, flashier in the anime compared to the game. Apparently in the game she doesn't look much different, unlike Poidachi.[/sp]
I have 0 knowledge about the game, i had no idea what was happening till it was explained later in the episode.
The only things I know about the game and/or the actual history of these ships is from the reddit threads every week.
[QUOTE=Garlickeh;47260593]5cms spoilers and autism ahead[/QUOTE]
Yea but heres the thing, the fact that 5cms is not an extraordinary story is what makes it crap. It delves into mundane shit that everybody experiences at some point in their life.
It'd be like in the Matrix if Neo took the blue pill and just lived the rest of his life as a mundane office jockey. Like, if your story is boring and mundane then whats the point?

because if it was extraordinary then it wouldn't feel realistic?
it represents shit everyone experiences on purpose, it's supposed to be something viewers are supposed to relate to
it's just that this sort of thing is something that's usually forgotten in day to day life, so it serves as a quiet reminder

yea so that makes it a load of pretentious bullshit. Realism in media is boring as fuck.
Having the setting be in a highschool makes it relatable, because 90% of anime viewers are still in highschool, and for the ones that aren't they at least went through highschool. Highschools make good settings because everyone can relate to them in some way. You don't need to make the entire story pointlessly relatable to the point where its just mundane. Because when you do that, all you have is just some art porn with a bland and poorly tied together plot forcing its way in. At least with garden of words you got some art porn with an acceptable plot shoved in.

realism is pretentious? highschool settings are good because they're relatable but not too relatable?
5cms is extremely relatable, that's the point, its not so much what happens on screen but what you take away from it
you project your own experiences onto those of the characters, thats why it's purposely made realistic, or "ordinary"
the moment it takes a step into the extraordinary it becomes unrelatable and disconnected
and at what point did the plot force its way in
I finally managed to watch two more episodes of After Story, 19 and 20, and it's painful to watch.
The way the show handles and portrays loss is so fucking [I]real[/I] that it's hard not to feel it yourself.
I'm gonna have to pretend I have a cold tomorrow because I can't go around telling people my eyes are red and my nose is stuffed up because I was crying over a fucking anime all night :v:

dood ecchi harem mc's are cardboard cutouts so you can project yourself onto them but that doesn't make ecchi harems good.
An entire movie where you just project your own shitty experiences on a set of cardboard cutouts sucks.
You can have an interesting and extraordinary story without it being completely unrelatable and disconnected from reality. Look at almost any romcom or any highschool drama. I'm not talking about some space aliens coming down and taking the mc to some magic fantasy world that he was ~born to fight in~ or some crap like that. You can have an actual romance that remains in the bounds of reality, be relatable, without sucking.
I honestly would rather just watch 5cm's without any plot or characters; just it be an hour of art porn.

just because a character is a "cardboard cutout" doesnt make it able to become relatable
besides, the characters aren't cardboard cutouts, the silence of it [i]is the point[/i]. its not that there's nothing, it's that it's unspoken, that's actually a difference
sure you can have an interesting and extraordinary story without it being completely unrelatable, but you can't have an interesting and extraordinary story that's completely relatable (unless your life is extraordinary because mine's pretty normal)
and 5cms isn't centered around romance, i feel like thats a point thats really misunderstood

I found the last quarter and how it shifted up the status quo on the weirdest way the weakest part of the show, but I still think the last three or four episodes, can't remember exactly how many, went back to the strengths of the show.
