ITT: Literally perfect anime
It was good but could've been cut down to 12 episodes IMO.
>>143089402
I'M GONNA KILL THAT FUCKING CLAW MAN>No bullshit
>No "Hurr if I kill you I'll be just like you"
>Just straight up shanks that old fucker
So goddamned satisfying.
My only complaint is wenever found out why Claw was such a crazy fucker and went around hugging people to death.
Goddamn it I gotta rewatch this
Best fucking character right here, fuck Claw Man.
>>143089402
>>143092591
You're all forgetting best boy.
>>143092329
Because something just don't need explanation. Like how dense Joshua is regarding gender.
While no anime is truely perfect, Toradora is probably the best of the SoL genre
>>143092675
Ordinarily I'd agree with you, but seeing as he was the shows big bad and set off the central premise of the show (Killing Vans waifu), Never exactly knowing why he killed her or why he was such a fruit loop always left a bad taste in my mouth.
You can understand "Why the main villain screwed over our hero" and "why a mostly irrelevant character is so autistic" aren't questions with the same scope right?
>>143092843
I'd argue that Chunnibyou S1 beats it.
>>143092843
nah senpai
>>143092843
The show was shit after the villa ep.
>>143093439
As a whole, Chuuni is shit because of S2. So it can't be called perfect.
>>143093439
Chuunibyou is definitely alot more comfy than Toradora but it didnt have the same impact. While i can say i enjoyed chuunibyou more all the way through i actually cried during Toradora but cant think of a single time i did for chuunibyou.
>>143089402
Amazing show.
Natsume is probably the comfiest supernatural SoL around, only coming second to Mushishi
>>143089402
>>143093578
Are you fucking high? All of the best parts happen during the love arc. The first half is the shit one
>>143092843
But that's not Slice of Life genre, at all.
>>143092329
claw was crazy because of PTSD from all his friends dying terribly in space.
>>143093631
Agreed. Comfy melancholy is a great combination.
>practically every Manglobe title
Press F with me, lads
>>143093730
Agreed.
>>143093851
Ended too quickly. Each episode could have been an arc. Pacing was fast as fuck. No epic battle between the glass sword master. Finale was shit.
>>143093717
Okay cool, Now I know. Thanks!
>>143093897
>he wants drawn out shounenshit pacing
>finale was shit
What the fuck am I reading?
>>143093851
>cuts out best girl from the LN
>Perfect
A fucking game adaptation too and they turned it into this masterpiece.
>>143093983
Second half was mediocre.
>>143093977
>we never got to see her "protect" Shichika's "smile"
>>143093851
While very pretty the fighting just felt...underwhelming. I think shounenshit has ruined me
>>143091402
comfyy, very comfy
>>143089402
>It's a Van sees Claw episode
>>143093960
Each sword could have been featured in AT LEAST 3 episodes, would have had a better pacing. Not asking for One Piece-tier length arcs, just long enough to make the story more interesting.
Also, the ninjas bosses were fucking weak. And even those supposed 'sword masters' in the finale was laughable. The show had a lot of promise from the start, it was just steered bloody poorly.
>>143094047
You just have to feel that way for a guy that barged into your wedding and killed you and your lover, right?
>>143092843
>the best of the SoL genre
ToraDora is fucking trash.
>>143094101
Fight me faggot
>>143094096
Patrician taste.
Brotherhood is shit.
>>143094096
This, but only for Brotherhood
>>143094101
Then what is your favorite SoL? Im guessing youre a K-Onfag
>>143094179
Nope.
>>143091402

>>143094217
Aria is B tier SoL at best, get out of here with your delusional trash
>>143094088
No that would not have improved the pacing, what more is there to be told in the specific stories?
Also consider that each episode is double length of a normal episode.
The ninjas were rather weak but that was the point, gimmicks and tricks like they exclusively used will only get you that far. I do agree that the conclusion to the ninja stuff wasn't great.
>hating on the boss rush
You fucking pleb.

>>143093851
Mah nigga.
>>143094382
Watch it again if you want. Never gets old. But basicallyYuki wants to be loved. Creates an alternate world.
>>143093897

>>143094548

>muh moral
>>143089402
Gun x Sword is perfect for /a/ because MC is proud of being a virgin.
>>143094144
Brotherhood is the actual story, and it's perfect. Only edgy kids like the first anime.
Remember that time the Claw Man got a young virgin a stripper to fuck?
Claw Man was alright to me.
>>143095512
The only good anime at all no others are like it
>>143089402

>bad guy gets laid
>main character still a virgin
Vann really ought to take Priscilia's offer.
>>143095792
Was Claw Man really bad? He got people pussies and cock, I know Michael needed that experienced S tier pussy to stop being a spaz and stripper needed some young dick to not be a whore anymore.
>>143095792
Van wasn't too concerned about his DT.
>>143095744
Monster had several issues, several archs were unnecessary and formulaic, also had several shaggy dog stories seemingly existing just to show how evil Johan is.
>>143095856
>Was Claw Man really bad?
He's part of those guys who did nothing wrong. Except for killing Van's waifu, which was hinted as him being too enthusiastic and hugging her to death.
>>143095856
He goes killing anyone that doesn't follow his ideal. So much that he caused insurgences in his own group.
>>143094217
That mascot alone is a good enough reason to bring that show down.
>37 posts
>no hyouge mono
It's like you can't even appreciate aesthetics.
>>143095905
Van's waifu didn't put out, Claw Man did him a favor.
>>143095928
Not his fault, hugs were said to be safe.
>>143089402
It is a unique acquired taste.
>>143095905
Really now. I remember him clawing at them in the flashback. Not a gesture of a hug whatsoever.
>>143091402
It's great, but it looks ugly as sin.

Neat, I liked that one too but it's pretty unpopular especially wrt his other stuff. You liked the ending? I thought most took issue with that part.
>>143096869
And I forgot Fate/Zero
A good taste thread? Nice!
>>143093968
I doubted during lot of time to pick that, because everyone said it was sooooooo tragic. But in the end...wasn't tragic at all, yes, the ride is quite dramatic but at the end of the series everyone is living and well. IT was badass series.
>>143096082
Good taste my fellow aesthete of superior patrician birth.
>>143096756

>>143096608
I recommend the series over the movie.
It's a bit more thorough in its storytelling and at a better pace.

>>143097082
I knew he wasn't gonna kill him from the every start.
>>143096756
Even the majority of /a/ agrees that Aria is god-tier SoL, you would know that if you lurked here longer than a day.
>>143097155
That doesn't excuse being genuinely confused over the show getting some hate.

>>143097115
Well no shit sherlock. Congrats you understood one of the most basic themes of the show. There was obviously no fucking way in hell he was going to kill him.
Did you predict the events leading up to the end though? How Johan developed his personality? Or how much the characters would change throughout the course of the show?

This is painfully slow paced. It takes a fucking hour to even get the premise out. 1-3 should be 1 episode. 4-7 should be 1 episode.

You don't watch a lot of older stuff, do you?

I can't think of a better anime adaptation than Diamond is Unbreakable so far. It's hit and surpassed every expectation for me.

>>143089402
Literally no such thing as literally perfect.
That being said.
>>143099228
It looked real good but I had trouble getting invested in the characters or story. I guess these kinds of historical dramas aren't my thing.
>>143094643
The moral of the story was that for as much a piece of shit Van comes off as, he was still fundamentally a good person.
Meanwhile for all the gentleness, kindness and compassion Koo Krying Kroo offered to people, he was still fundamentally a horrible piece of shit.
Van's motives were purely selfish, Koo's were purely altruistic. That still didn't change who they were as people. It's part of the theme why Rey ends up dying while Van doesn't, because Rey despite being a kind person, still crosses the line he can't come back from and it leads to his own self destruction literally and figuratively.
It's not Van getting revenge that I like, it's that the story itself is presented that Van isn't a bad person for getting his revenge. He kills Koo in the way a good man kills someone. No talking, no gloating, no attempts to justify his actions. He cuts the guys head off and leaves.
Also, Kino's Journey
It's nearly impossible to judge with all the saturation and hundreds of really similar shows.
Best I can do is break it down by genres and pinpoint the most memorable ones from each.
Comedy being one of the easiest to rank I'd sayfor me
Fumoffu
Seto no Hanayome
Sabagebu
>>143098092
distended middle section
Fafner for being so good despite it's short comings.
In that it's managed to tell a unique and tragic story of the fate of the BORN TO BE A SUPER PILOT type character.
>still no Patlabor
I'm dissapointed.
>>143099523
>Van's motives were purely selfish, Koo's were purely altruistic.
Koo was fucking insane dumbfuck. The show doesn't present his him as being anything other than demented so your point falls flat and it doesn't help that the people who follow him and equally horrible people. Van being a "piece of shit" is barely given any relevance especially when he had three women dying for his dick regardless, Ray is ironically a better example of this because unlike Van he has done irredeemable shit for his revenge i.e. killing children and showed no remorse for it. The people who make a big deal about this have never ventured out to watch anime beyond shounen shit which is why they think its unique when its been done to death in fiction and much better than a shitty robot anime.
>>143095553
>stripper
Prostitute actually.
>>143100693
But the people who followed him weren't horrible people. Look at Michael and the Prostitute, they were generally okay people. Even the Gadved was a decent people who was disillusioned at the state of the fucking desert planet they were living on.
>>143100693
Lol whatever fag, go circlejerk to whatever obscure or popular thing you think is better.
It's your prerogative because you probably watched or read that first and thus are emotionally more invested in.
If you literally think Koo was just insane and never paid attention to the moments where it was clearly being telegraphed that he was far more on the level with the shit going on then I can't help you.
>>143100693
Fucking insane or not, what anon said was said. Claw while totally unselfish in his motives was a bad man at heart, while Van's whole motive was selfish revenge didn't make him a bad person.

K-on is a 8/10 at best would be a 10 but Azusa ruined the balance and was an all around shit character.
Hellsing Ultimate and Mushishi are the last 10/10 series I have seen lately
>>143093888
Even with its recycled footage, shit animation, garbage ending, it still managed to be an incredible show.
>>143102559
Azusa accentuated the balance. It helped Mio become her character and it also brought in Ui and Jun as their own little group with their own dynamics
>>143102559
Azusa was necessary as a viewer surrogate and to make manifest the themes of adolescence, growing up and so on. The show wouldn't have had the same impact without her, I don't think. Plus she's cute as heck and plays a mean guitar.

That's not what I said, retard. Nobody with any sort of powerlevel would consider Chuunibyou or Toradora perfect SoLs.

Fuujin monogatari. Comfy,unique, short reflections on growing up with a pinch of melancholy
>>143103354

>>143103388
Toradora most definitely isn't best SoL either though.
>>143103365
I wished they had done more with the concept. I liked the wind festival and kick-the-can episodes but the rest left me a bit cold. Still an okay choice, I guess.
>>143103341
I've marathoned this shit until episode 16 so I didn't really have much time to think about how shit it really was and let it sink in but even then it became so unbearable I just had to stop.
This show made me stay away from anything with the world "mecha" or "sunrise" on it for quite a while after that.

Because if you mean chu2 them's fighting wordsalthough I still respect your opinion

I mean, Toradora is hardly a SoL after first half. It becomes romance drama. Actually, same could be said for Chuunibyou but latter also had nonsensical finale because it didn't lead anywhere.

>>143103474
calling mushishi a SoL is pretty insulting to the series
>>143103475
Don't care what anyone else says, still one of my top 5
Literally devoid of flaws.
>>143103692
Only if you're a /v/ermin.
There's nothing wrong with any genre by itself. Only execution matters.
>>143099004
don't forget the mountains of melodrama and 'subtle' metaphors

Talking about Toradora, Chu2 is one of my favorite anime

true not all SoL are horrible a lot of them are but the fact still remains mushishi is not a SoL
>>143097338
You want an anime done by the same creator try kekkai sensen
>>143094088
>in AT LEAST 3 episodes
it's roughly 2.5 for each, you know?
>>143103895
You do realize an anime can be more than one genre right? Just like Haruhi is also slice of life
>>143103895
It is a SoL.
>>143103895
Where are you getting Mushishi is not SoL from?
Probably this.
It's the greatest anime ever made.

I wouldn't call it perfect because it prefers going for simple elements but I'm unable to find any flaws and I'm honestly impressed how well thought out the show is.

Excellent fucking taste.

mushishi is not about ginko everything could be considered a SoL
>>143104377
Mushishi very much is about Ginko.

>>143104246
Because it follows a guy in his day to day life. There's no plot driving the characters' actions, either in the overarching sense or even really in the the episodic sense. Ginko just travels and reacts to what he encounters, be it Mushi or people. That's the essence of slice of life. There's no plot, just characters, and they're not obligated to act a certain way or accomplish anything. The "story" is just whatever they do.

But anon,Macross Deltais objectively perfect.
>>143104416
I don't really care much for the SoL argument but I always thought that most of the stories were about the people and the world. Ginko is just a piece of the show rather than being the main focus. That's just my take on it though.
>>143104473
I know. It's just that I haven't been so impressed with a show since >>143104474 (which dropped a bit later on) without those thoughts disappearing after three eps.
>>143104509
Not cool man, not cool. But I already know about that, just chosen random screenshot.
>>143104377
>mushishi is not about ginko
That's funny, because he's in every single episode and the show follows him constantly. So by any observable metric Mushishi is definitely about Ginko and his day to day life.

>>143104574
That doesn't prevent the show from being SoL though. But yeah, I like this approach a lot. More shows should do that.

Like I said, I don't really care whether people categorize as a SoL or not. As long as it's good it's good, genres be damned.
>>143104574
How does that make sense? Ginko has agency, his actions directly influence what happens to the people he meets and the places he visits. He's not some voyeur or audience surrogate, he has knowledge the audience doesn't and acts in ways we don't always understand or empathize with.
