The General Anime Thread...

Not even Bebop. It takes quite a lot for a video game, a TV show, a cartoon, an anime, a movie, or a manga to make me literally shed tears.

[Edit]So far, I can't recall a video game, a TV show, a cartoon, a movie, or a manga that literally made me shed tears. It's just those two Rurouni Kenshin OVA's.

5 Centimeters Per Second
Angel Beats!
After Story
Puella Magi Madoka Magica
AnoHana

And probably a few others got tears going for me.

I think you're just a bitch for Rurouni Kenshin.

I'll admit that I tear up pretty easily though, which makes it that much worse that Clannad hasn't managed it yet. After Story's looking promising so far though. 👍

Same here

 

[Lain]

I tear up when listening to the Eva soundtracks.

 

[TheCorvette]

What can I say, since I saw that livestream for Rurouni Kenshin: Trust & Betrayal on NicoNico back in August, and started the TV series, I've become a big Kenshin fan practically. Rurouni Kenshin FTW!

I started tearing up after thinking of EoE for long enough, after I'd watched it. That was back when I was still a proper Eva fan. Then I watched TTGL.

Hah I knew what you were thinking of what I was gonna say there...

ie. I took an arrow to the knee

Just make sure you're not leaning over anything electrical when you get to ep 16.

I haven't seen you so...upset before Who are you and what have you done to DK?!
Yeah, he can just go and play TF2 with memes I have never actually heard of

a serious concern.

You three trying to start an avatar fad here in TGAT or something?!

Mind you, the brony thread is doing that now...THE PLOT THICKENS

 

[Loliblade ver2]

I'd join in, but the avatar is of Asuka so F that!

 

[Lain]

Parents, avert your eyes. TGAT'ers, IDGAF if some of these are reposts.




...RANDOM IMAGE EXPLOSION!!!

 

[Loliblade ver2]

*head explodes*

 

[nk4e]

Glasses!

 

[Cano]

glasses!

precisely.

 

[Lain]

Glasses are nice, but military uniforms are better.

 

[SuperShouden]

Corvette should watch GoF if he wants to cry.

 

[Lain]

Corvette should watch GoF if he wants to cry.

Yup. If GoF doesn't do the trick, then nothing will.

...except for Rurouni Kenshin, since TC's obviously gay for him.

 

[Dravonic]

GoF?

 

[Lain]

Grave of the Fireflies.

 

[Loliblade ver2]

I'll make sure to DL it tonight.

 

[Lain]

I'll make sure to DL it tonight.

While you watch Bokurano, amirite?

 

[Loliblade ver2]

I plan to watch at least two episodes tonight

Neon Genesis Evangelion
A few Ghibli movies
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
Cowboy Bebop
Samurai Champloo
Serial Experiments Lain
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Yosuga no Sora :3

There's the must watch list for TGAT.

 

[Dravonic]

I'll make sure to DL it tonight.

Doing it right now.

Looks like everyone says this is the saddest thing ever. I'm actually reluctant to watch xD

 

[TheCorvette]

Yup. If GoF doesn't do the trick, then nothing will.

You should know the main character of the series, his name is Kenshin Himura. You never hear the word "Rurouni" ever in the series. Also, those two OVA's made me cry because they truly are sad. I won't reveal what happens because it's major spoilers for Trust & Betrayal and Reflection.

Grave of the Fireflies.

Considered one of the greatest, and most depressing anime movies of all time.

Overall (dub): A-
Overall (sub): A+
Story: A
Animation: B+
Art: A
Music: B+
+ one of the best movies ever made, great extra features
− one of the most depressing movies ever made

When ANN gives something an A+ (An extremely rare rating from them, only other thing I've seen them give an A+ to, the Rurouni Kenshin: Trust & Betrayal Blu-ray.), it definitely is worth giving a try.

I'll make sure to DL it tonight.

I'll be sure to buy it sometime this year.

--------------------------
I've decided, after I finish Birdy the Mighty: Decode 02 (Sad to see how there will not be a season 3 in this excellent series as it sold badly in Japan.) on Monday, taking it's place starting Friday will be Spice & Wolf, and what will replace that when I finish that is Spice & Wolf II.

After that, it's onto Usagi Drop, which I've been hearing nothing but great things about, and seeing nothing but positive awards given to it as one of the best anime of 2011.

One of my friends on MAL gave it a 10/10, another 9/10. One didn't rate it.<_<
