Oh no! I’ve tested those tags on the website (both SJW and feddit.nl), Connect, Sync, and Jerboa, so I thought they’d work everywhere! What are you using to browse Lemmy? I want to be able to tag spoilers for everyone
Belle really is a good movie with an amazing soundtrack, I was just ranting about one thing in it that bothers me

I get the feeling you’re already familiar with my favorite anime OP
I’m just gonna copy and paste my comment from last time I answered this question on a forum. Most of these are just because they’re good songs that make the good chemicals go in my brain. Like, they’re the songs I throw on my playlist and listen to while I’m driving.
Land of the Lustrous’ opening, Kyoumen no Nami, is my #1 most listened to song on Youtube Music two years in a row, largely thanks to the fascinating polyrhythms
Aside from that, some top picks are (in order of best to not as best)
Akudama Drive (mainly for the visuals)
Noir (also mainly for the visuals)
Akudama Drive was rad as hell. GitS is obviously a classic. Belle… is certainly a movie. By all rights it should be such a great movie. The soundtrack is amazing, even the dubs sound good. The animation is beautiful. But my suspension of disbelief can’t handle the game they’re playing. I’ll spoiler tag my main problems with both types of tag, so it should work no matter how you’re viewing lemmy
Is it PVP or PVE? Is it a massive sandbox? Are the no admins? >!Why is there The Gun That Doxxes People?!< That one is the thing that I really couldn’t take seriously. Like, I can handle the disconnect between what appears to be a PVE world and the PVP elements that we see–maybe it’s just part of the game’s social structure that everyone agrees to no attacking people in cities. I just can’t get over that >!Gun That Doxxes People!<. What psychotic programmer makes that item? How does the game still have players when they know that someone can always come by and >!shoot them with a Gun That Doxxes Them???!<
Other than that it’s so good. I just couldn’t keep my suspension of disbelief intact.
Me but only English ones

Fun fact, the Wikipedia page on hentai has a list of common genres, and also some uncensored images!
And yes, it is better if you don’t know! But can you really keep that link from turning purple?
I’ve watched plenty of animes, the languages aren’t so different that it’s impossible to get used to, but as an English speaker you’ll always have an easier time parsing English words
I just have a 10’ extension cord for my headphones so I can watch stuff on my TV from across the room
I don’t trust Bluetooth. I’m watching anime, I cannot risk my sound somehow routing through a wireless speaker instead of my headphones unless I’m watching fuckin Mushishi or ACCA
Unless you speak Japanese, dubs are better because otherwise you miss out on vocal cues that you, a non-japanese speaker, can’t understand and that text can only partially convey
Baccano!!! I cannot imagine watching it without the accents!
I’ve been tempted to post an Old Anime Discussion thread. I don’t keep up with what’s new, because I like to watch an entire series at once before starting another one, so I mainly stick to older shows. I super don’t watch new episodes weekly unlike most anime fans.
I miss the other website, where I could read through years of discussions about shows like Shinsekai Yori and Mushishi. The more time passes, the more I feel like breaking the strike and posting there again.
Synchronicity! Months later, I’m listening to a video essay about Paranoia Agent, as I search Lemmy for any actual discussions about Haibane Renmei!
Christ, I’m gonna be 30 by the time this comes out, but I’ve been waiting for it since I was a teenager
Yes. The first movie is Beginnings, the second movie is Eternal. These are essentially just the TV show in movie form, so if you prefer to watch the show instead, you can; that worked better for my schedule.
The third movie is Rebellion.
There’s a spinoff called Magia Record, which is its own self-contained story only set in the same universe as the show. Worth watching IMO, but don’t expect to see much of the main cast
Have you seen Haibane Renmei? I just finished it the other night and it seems to fit in with everything you listed about Mushishi. I absolutely adored it, and it hit exactly the same strings in my heart that Mushishi did. Just know that it’s a lot more emotionally heavy than Mushishi. You never have to linger on the depression that Ginko comes into contact with, but you have to go through the depression in Haibane Renmei right alongside the characters. It also doesn’t explain every mystery like Mushishi does. It’s very Ico/Shadow of the Colossus/The Last Guardian.

I just started HR on Monday, and finished it yesterday! Definitely the kind of show that’s greatly improved by knowing nothing about it going in. I imagine if I’d read any of the analyses about the haibane and the walls before watching it, it wouldn’t have entranced me like it did. Lain is at the top of my to-watch list, but I don’t know if I’m ready to watch it. I might watch something more lighthearted first.
!It’s so rare for a show to introduce so many questions and mysteries and not answer a single damn one, and still be so good. The closest I can think of is Land of the Lustrous, but with that one I needed to read the manga and learn more. I don’t feel that need with HR; I’m satisfied with the end.!<
I hope this installment finally explains the connection between the other two shows in the franchise, Gate and Steins;Gate
