Why is Non Non Biyori the best slice of life show?
it's not. a lot of it feels like very forced sentimentality instead of just being genuine and natural.
Because of Hotaru's tits.
>>142272038
>forced sentimentality
For fuck's sake. It's like you think you can just stick "forced" in front of a descriptor and it becomes thoughtful criticism.
>>142273711
Even "Forced Animation" is an absolutely retardedl term for what people commonly use it for. It says almost nothing and is misused far more often than not.
>>142271907
Its not as good as Lucky Star.
>>142273863
I think I've figured it out. The term 'forced drama' doesn't exist outside of Internet anime discussion; you can Google it and see for yourself.
Everyone will offer their own definition, but the only thing anyone really agrees on is that it's a negative thing. It's drama that does not accomplish what it sets out to do.
I think there's an empathy gap, where anons have a hard time relating to some drama in anime because of the language and cultural differences, as well as a general difficulty in relating to drawings.
Action can coast on the fact that violence is a universal language, but drama requires you to understand characters' values, emotions, and circumstances. If you're a typical Westerner, you're not going to understand things like the lack of high schools in depressed parts of rural Japan, and that getting a 10th-grade education means living far from home.
That dissonance is hard to quantify if you're unaware of it, so the meaningless prefix "forced" comes into play. From there, you can stick it on anything to describe the vague uneasiness of things you don't understand in a way that makes it the fault of the thing.
the school setting is quaint.

If you know what you are getting then why think /a/ will suddenly change and give a good answer?
The only time /a/ is serious is if the anime/manga has something worthy of being discussed, and as much as I like NNB there is nothing to discuss about.
I wouldn't say it's the best SoL but it is up there, has a very comfy vibe and probably because I grew up in the country when I was younger I can connect on some aspects. Doesn't rely on generic stuff to make it funny and works out naturally. Just my opinion though.

>>142275138
I know what I am getting into, so I usually don't. I know that shitposting is fun, and every faggot here thinks they are really creative and what not, but even when there is "something worthy of being discussed," 65% is shitposts.
I get what you're saying, but I think you are giving many idiots here a lot of credit by saying that they can get serious when they want to. I think that most of /a/ is very stupid, and whether there is something to discusd or not, it shows.
>>142274229
i almost completely agree, but since i saw kokoro connect with an unexplained entity that makes up things to make things "interessting" i think there can be correct uses of "forced" for drama.
however, this show was an extreme. non non biyori felt at no point forced.
It has superior characters compared to the rest for me, Renge is just fucking magical.

I feel NNB felt pretty genuine and natural personally, moreso than a lot of the other usual iyashikei people talk about.
Aria being one particular series I was not able to enjoy as much as people here did. Lots of lots of exposition telling me how cozy everything in the setting was as opposed to just having me understand that for myself from what I'm seeing, which resulted in me not finding it all that "cozy" a story at all.Also the mascot cat thing was fucking annoying.. I wish I did enjoy it more because I did think that the setting itself was cool.

It does, but 90% of people who watch anime are either too underage or inarticulate to realize that the term "melodrama" is perfectly applicable.

>>142275138

It's basically a girl with a small insignificant penis. As much as i hate to admit it you are correct.
Baiting trapfags is still fan as fuck though.
I like it but I honestly agree with the guy getting shit for saying "forced". And it may seem like a meme, but when the genre is based entirely on feeling and atmosphere it matters.
NNB never felt as natural or 'comfy' as shows like Aria, K-on, and Hidamari Sketch to name a few.
>>142279167
Melodrama = overblown drama. Characters exaggerate the seriousness of a situation.
Forced drama = Drama that shouldn't have happened in the first place. Characters do retarded things that cause drama. Or a plot device comes out of nowhere only to course addition drama.
>>142279637
Then explain what you don't like about the atmosphere, or how you think non non biyori fails the execution compared to similar shows you liked more.
This will open up avenues of discussion and potentially take the thread in an interesting direction. Putting the word forced in front of an aspect of the show you disliked is not a valid point of discussion.
>>142279816

>>142279816
I guess the term is used interchangeably then, but thanks for explaining it in a concise manner.
I still see no reason to use the term "Forced drama", wouldn't "unnecessary drama" be much more sensible based on your description?
It's babbys first SoL
>>142279637
It seems like a meme because no one is saying anything beyond "it's forced", no reasoning behind it but "just because". You just did the same thing even.
c u t e
>>142279973
>I guess the term is used interchangeably then
Usually the line between them is blurry so I guess they can be used interchangeably.
Unnecessary drama doesn't really have that much of a negative connotation since an individual can deem any drama as unnecessary from his perspective. But since forced drama is pretty much a buzzword now, unnecessary drama might be a more sensible alternative.

There is very little reason behind it because of the nature of the genre. If a show fails to live up to a certain atmosphere or does not feel real, it's difficult to describe in words but you know it if you've watched enough anime.
Most argumentation on 4chan just comes down to staying preferences and then shit flinging at your opponents any way. It's not a though the op fleshed out a thesis about NNB being the best SOL.

Not really, "forced" is just a completely empty criticism in this instance. NNB doesn't have even have enough in the way of exposition or running narrative to be forced anything, for better or worse - if people dislike the series it usually stems from the other end of the spectrum, that there's not enough there for them to latch onto/find interesting. That's actually a perfectly understandable opinion to hold, much moreso than "it feels forced, I can't explain why though".

I feel the same way, bro. I forced myself through the first season, but couldn't make it all the way through the second one. The setting gave me the impression of being painted in watercolor, both visually and expositionally. You get the big picture, but all the details are fuzzy and rough around the edges.

>>142282021
>believe that Japanese schoolgirls fall through the porches of temples and get stuck in elevators during their normal, everyday lives
By that logic any supernatural SoL should not be considered one. Having elements of gag comedy is pretty common for SoLs, too. Even though Nichijou probably has the most out of them.

Agreed, Aria is a meme anime. Characters were completely unrelatable, it was just "people being happier than you are: the anime." NNB has excellent characters though, made the show much more enjoyable than Aria. Renge's tales from 'Nam were truly haunting, and at least I could self-insert into Hotaru. Aria had none of that, literally just girls smiling and looking at the sun for 12 episodes, and expecting me be happy with them too for some reason.

You should have paid attention. Aria spends a lot of time writing characters, and does it very good. Watching more than one season also helps.

What can I do, then. It sometimes helps to enjoy things.
>>142282407
I didn't even have a problem with the characters really, for me I think it's approach just wasn't my sort of thing. If it had more of a natural-feeling style (which is the main thing I feel NNB does really well most of the time) as opposed to the "x is really comfy and makes me feel happen because etc etc" style exposition everywhere I'd probably find it more enjoyable in the way iyashikei is supposed to be (from what I understand anyway).
Someone mentioned Hidamari Sketch earlier. For the record, I actually prefer that to NNB. I think NNB does better job of feeling "natural" though, whereas Aria I felt didn't really feel natural in it's presentation of anything at all. If this were a different genre I wouldn't have an issue with that.
That objective list that gets posted with that aria girl occasionally that has DBZ as the 9000th best lists NNB as the best. I'm inclined to believe this list because of the memes and because Ren-chon kawaii desu.
>>142282579
>somebody levels a criticism at your favorite anime and a few other people agree with him
>"You should have paid attention"
That's not how this works. It was a legitimate criticism, and saying that the critics who watched the entire anime and agreed on what's wrong with it "weren't paying attention" is Not An Argument.
>>142282969
I like meme girl in her own right too though.
>>142282787
Well, I was a little harsh on the paying attention. When I meant to say was that I like it when I don't have to force myself to pay attention. If I watch something, I want it to grab my attention, I want to feel feelings without actively trying to feel, the feelings should just come naturally. I don't really enjoy anything show that I have to put too much thought into, and SoL anime shouldn't require too much thinking. In NNB, I felt actually felt like I was hanging out with the girls in the country and having fun with them, but in Aria, I felt more like an outsider, and it felt more like Akari was lecturing me on her philosophy rather than being a normal person. Regardless of the validity of my argument, I, personally, just didn't feel very included when I watched Aria.
>>142278941
>>142281217
>>142282407
Why are you people so bad at pointing out negative aspects of aria?
Aria is self-indulgent to the core. The viewer is bombarded by constant monologues about how beautiful simple life is, however the world the charecters live in is completely world form reality (The themes don't work as they do in our world). The girls live in a utopia, they have everything figured out, they are working their dream jobs and they are surrounded by people that only strengthen their self-image. To put it simply aria is feeding people bullshit and they like it.
The characters are standard mediocrities as is the norm for SOLs. Relating means nothing to the actually quality of a show.

If you wish to employ a colourful vocabulary coupled with a haughty attitude, you should at least demonstrate an elementary comprehension of the language that you speak. I implore you to commit the act of suicide.

>best slice of life show

>>142283607
>Relating means nothing to the actually quality of a show.
I didn't say anything about relating to the characters or not to be fair. It feeling surreal/otherwordly wasn't the issue for me personally, it's the series' approach of spoonfeeding me how surreal/otherworldly to me. Maybe that ties into the "feeding people bullshit and they like it" thing you're on about though?
These sorta shows are what I watch when I want something sorta relaxing, slow-paced and melancholic (and of course it's not something I'm always in the mood for), not particularly for relatable characters but that's nice too I suppose. I'm not getting thse things from Aria when I watch it because of the aforementioned approach it has.

That's literally just your opinion.
I thought it was a really charming show. I liked how it was laid back, I liked the fun antics (example when they were putting noodles down the slide), I liked how the characters interacted with each other, It wasn't a great show, but it was certainly enjoyable and fun to watch.
how could you have not liked it? what exactly was bad about it?
non non biyori is too down to earth to be the best SoL
it's really well made but it just feels like rewatching my childhood with anime girls instead, it doesn't provide the same sense of escapism that less realistic shows do

Maybe saying that it was bad in every aspect was exaggerated but I think it's just extremely boring.
The plot was boring (even for a SoL show) and there was no character development at all. The characters themselves were really boring too. There was nothing special about them.
Maybe it's just my opinion but it was the most boring show I've ever seen.

and not only did Ryou become less lonely and more open because of her new friends, but she also learned that practice makes perfect. She always wanted to cook as well as her grandma, and she was always frustrated because she wasn't able to. then she learned that her grandma used to be a terrible cook and only became good after lot of hard work.
Plenty of the characters were dynamic. even that autistic supporting character girl. she would always spill her spaghetti in social situations, but got over her anxiousness because of Ryou and Kirin.

Not much of the discussion actually ended up being about "best SoL"
also since NNB was posted the thread focused more on iyashikei specifically too

Nah, there is no village. They have some important places that are set in stone such as their houses; the school; some fields; but they never show what link those places together. They have a few set place that they will show from different angles, but that's about it.
Pic related is the second only good shot of multiple houses (what composes a village) in the anime, but there is nothing in this shot that is ever shown. No, the fields are never used. No, there is no house of a specific character. There is no scene in the anime that uses this place.
TL;DR: there is nothing clear about where is situated anything in the anime.

If that's not a village then I don't know what is. Keep in mind that the atmosphere of village life is also very well characterized. The fact that there are cows that cross the road, the fact that they went on their school field trip to the family rice paddy to plant rice, the fact that they try to teach a wild tanuki raccoon tricks, the fact that the candy store owner is willing to close up early to go mooch dinner off the family of one of her customers, it all illustrates village life. Authors call this the concept of "show, don't tell." Just because they don't give you a big overhead map of the village every other scene doesn't mean that the anime doesn't provide many examples of village life.
>>142288164
Maybe you're thinking of a town?
>>142289142
That's not what i wanted to say. I do agree that the village life and atmosphere is definitely present and is an enormous part of why this anime is so relaxing.
What i'm trying to say is that there is no geographical consistency. You have places, used in various sequences, but nothing linking them together.
It's basically impossible to draw a map of Non Non Biyori.
>>142289564
Why would you need a map to characterize village life? Kids growing up and walking/riding their bikes from place to place don't think in terms of maps. When I was a kid, I had a few places I knew how to get to by foot, and it was all done by memory because we didn't have smartphones and I didn't know how to use a map.
>go down X sidewalk to Y road, follow to the end of the block to get to friend's house
>go down Z street and cut through a person's yard to get to W sidewalk, and follow that to school
That's all a kid needs to get around a neighborhood.
The music and atmosphere elevates NNB, it's kino SOL

>Why would you need a map to characterize village life?
You don't, but i just think that it would've been better to have all the place linked together.
I'm not trying about showing a map at the end every episode here, just let's say you're looking at a scene in the fields then if you pause and look far away you see something that looks like the house of Natsumi.
Or again in the wide screenshot that i've put here >>142288164 , it would've been nice to either see:
The house of Hotarun
or the house of Renge's friend (that little girl that appears in one episode)
or the candy store
All 3 of those place geographically fit the screenshot. Imagine if you would've been able to link all the important places of the anime together yourself, just by watching and looking at the details of each scene. Sure, you can give that village vibe without this, but i personally thinks that it would've been a lot nicer to know where leads X route or X route.
Webm related is the same place as previous webm. Though you have no information where is the school compared to it, probably on the right as the school is next to a river and is also elevated compared to the fields and houses. But you have no way to be sure.
Maybe I need to rewatch NNB, I liked it, definitely, but it doesn't amount to even the tiniest fraction of enjoyment I got from certain others.
>>142289944
Get some taste.
>>142290089
I didn't even get to the end of Season 1 of NNB on my first attempt. Tried the series again a month or so later and burned through both seasons over a week or two, not sure how that worked but it happens I guess.
>>142290085
A map is not required at all, and I have no idea why you think it's important to "link" the important scenes with some sort of "traveling" scenes or whatever, but that's not required either. If you really think the village was not characterized well, then ask yourself a few questions about it and see if you can answer them.
>What are typical occupations for people who live in the village?
>What do the demographics look like?
>How do villagers react to outsiders?
>Do you think that adults in the village wake up early on weekends or sleep late?
>How would the villagers celebrate New Years? Would there be a big, public event with fireworks in a park, or would they have a small event with just their friends at their house?
>What are some things that kids in the village do to pass the time after school or on the weekends?
>What do adults in the village think about unsupervised kids walking all over the village and in the woods?
If you can answer at least the majority of these questions, then I think you really need to reconsider your claim that a map is at all necessary to characterize a village.
>>142290177
I think season 1 falls into a lot of trash territory that the second manages to avoid, that's pretty understandable.
>>142290470
>If you really think the village was not characterized well
I have made it clear that it was not what i think
I want to rewatch this now.
Has anybody made a list of the true order of episodes in both seasons? For example, I know that NNB Repeat ep 01 takes place a little earlier than NNB S1 ep 01, but I lost track of it after that.

Your boisterous misreading of my post serves only to place you deeper in the mire of your own ineptitude. You can at least be lauded for putting forth an effort, however infantile and misguided it was.
