    So I finally saw Kimi no Na wa (Your Name) at the cinemas yesterday (MAL / trailer). I'm sure everyone here is across the hype, but if you haven't heard of it, it is Makoto Shinai (5 Centimeters per Second) new work and his play for being the new Miyazaki. It is currently sitting at $175M USD at the box office, making it the 5th highest grossing anime film ever (and the number keeps growing each week its out), it has a rating of 8.9 on IMDB, 9.4 on MAL and has had top reviews from all sorts...

    Ajin is on my list to watch, but not really looking forward to the CGI aspect of it. Completely agree with Pure Infinity in that CGI sort of worked for Sidonia, since it was meant to be a sort of weird, alien sci fi culture and the slightly weird animation worked well to give it another thing to seem a bit strange about. But CGI animation in general tend to make the characters feel soulless to me. Anime style art is great because it can be so expressive, and you just don't really get that...

    Love Higurashi, and would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who hasn't tried it yet. Fantastic plot, execution and general feel. It does the eerie, creepy atmosphere really well - even in the more slice of life build up episodes. I think a large part of it is the fact that it so very rarely uses any background music. That, and both the OP & ED are some of the best examples that actually amplifies or change the feel of the episode. Kai (Season 2) was a bit of a disappointment to me....

After the "meh" that was the second season, I had lost much of my hype in the movie and so kept putting it off.

    Oregairu s2 is fantastic. It's driven by character interaction.

    I do find it a tad overrated, but on the whole it's still a pretty good anime (and the movie is great too). As an anime watcher, we come to expect how the rest of the show will be based on the first few eps. Stein's Gate is a bit different in that it rapidly escalates from a comical slice of life to something quite intense. That contrast actually ends up working pretty damn well. I definitely appreciated it a lot more at the end of the anime than I did while watching the first few episodes....

    Giant Killing is fantastic. It's not really a shounen anime, more of a seinen and so focuses on different themes, avoiding a lot of the cliches. It takes a pretty mature look on a lot of the issues the players go through, and the solution isn't "OMFG TEAMWORK AND FRIENDSHIP CAN OVERCOME EVERYTHING" as most shounen do. In fact, in a lot of ways the issues of the team that Tatsumi tries to overcome is this lack of individualism and freedom, the lack of selfishness in the strikers and this...

    Honestly, Ore no Imouto isn't as bad as a lot of people think. In season 1, it's more a straight up comedy (and it *is* pretty funny) and there's zero incest content at all. The relationship between Kirino and Kyousuke could easily be that of siblings trying to reconnect (and that's what I thought first time I watched it). While I felt the quality started to drop off a bit toward the end of season 1, in general it was actually really enjoyable with some really fun characters and situations....

What makes it different is that it's a shoujo, which gives it a very fresh feel to a shounen dominated genre. It still has all the elements of a shounen - the energetic, on the edge of your seat, overdramatic matches and the...

    Anime may be dated, but it still did a fantastic job. Like sure, it may take a bit to get used to the washed out colors and lack of lighting effects, but the quality of animation is pretty good. I saw the first movie and enjoyed that too, but the animation style is a bit jarring initially. Also, movie covers everything the series covered in half the time, so would be more rushed too. Anime never really felt slow.

    Yeah agree with that. So many anime have ridiculously amazing potential, and only really get 50% of the way there. Or have little bits here and there that just reduce it somewhat.

It had potential, I loved the concept and it delivered without a single thing I could really critique. @Meerkats: [spoiler]

    Oh I don't disagree with the first half of the episode - Ledo looking for work. That was perfectly fine. But so far what has made this anime unique is that it *isn't* current day Japan (which is what you'd expect from a modern anime like this). They created a setting and a society that was different. But bikinis and a quasi-beach scene? It destroys that. And the three okama chasing him around? Once again, unnecessary and destroys the setting.
