Bring tissues. It's a little too Shakespeare, but strong anyway.
Try Anohana next for even moar feelz. I swear, every time I hear Secret Base, i tear up.

Anohana is overrated tbh...

Wow I like the music. Haven't heard of that one, but it's going on my to-watch list for sure.

YMMV, but if you're like me and are the type to get sucked into the story and music, brace yourself lol.

I really need to stop putting Anohana off and saying I'll watch it later. For me, Kimiuso's musical premise and Kousei's background hit way too close to home. The tragedy isn't introduced as a plot twist trope; instead, its permanence makes the last few episodes that much harder to bear.

That's what everyone says about Kimi no na wa. but to this day, only a handful of manga have made me sob harder than that movie did. I blame RADWIMPS

Any series is overrated if it doesn't work for you. I've heard only good things for one week friends and lucky Star, I didn't like them.

Violet Evergarden.... The 10th episode is an episode that I will probably never forget.

Not sure I'm looking forward to it, but I'll definitely check it out.
It's apparently impossible for the American Media to convert any foreign anime or manga into Live Action or remake without making a hash of it.
Trying to think of a decent foreign import/conversion ... Really can't think of one. The only ones I enjoyed were all foreign-made.... GitS wasn't really good, Rurouni was excellent, but foreign. Old Boy-Korean. I haven't had a chance to check Alita yet, but niece, daughter, brother-in-law, none of them thought it was great, just ok. Attack on Titan... blah.

It's not live action and its animated based on the manga but getting professional english translation so should be good.

It seems that we are going to get the 4th Puella Magi film.

Spoiler

I haven't been this devastated after any episode of any series for a long, long time. One minute in, I knew exactly how it would end, but when the letters sequence started, I was not in the least bit ready.

Violet Evergarden.

Makes sense, checking the post from a smartphone didn't help though...
Ah yes, the lake arc was beautiful...
The BD's should be worth rewatching...

 

[bubbleawsome]

I can’t belive I didn’t know, that’s my number one show. And here I was all excited for a new show with art that incredible.

But that arc was heart wrenching. That and the

Yeah, I was a little surprised that you didn't remember lol. Violet Evergarden episode 10.

1-6 were "nice", 7 and 9 had their own great moments (esp. ending sequence of 9), but I was a absolute sobbing mess after 10. That episode is something else.

 

[kurosagi01]

Ultraman 1-13 is available on Netflix..my general impression so far is I like it, a lot darker than the 2010s era Ultraman show.
The artstyle is very similar to Godzilla movie on Netflix and some part of the episodes aren't rendered that well but overall its decent.
The animation is very fluent and nice though like SSSS Gridman.

Just finished watching series two of the Thunderbolt Fantasy series. It hasnt failed to impress me yet and its a little disheartening that it isnt more popular even when you basically have the folks behind the Gundam Unicorn OST doing the music for it....Hiroyuki Sawano, Cyua and T.M Revolution. Hiroyuki alone has composed songs for so many Anime & regular TV shows.

Very much looking forward to the 3rd series. Its just such a fresh take on an old 'animation style' that was buried many moons ago.

If there was one thing wrong with the series, is that its far too short.

I cant build Gunpla without Hiroyuki Sawano music, it a must.

Only Fruits Basket for this season for now. Someone recommended me the original series, so I'll start with this remake.

I need to give Thunderbolt a proper go but never got round it..3 more episodes left of Ultraman which I need finish up, I have downloaded Zoids Chaotic Century with english+ japanese audio which I've been after for awhile. Only drawback is the subtitles only available from 11 onwards and I believe they are just subtitles for the english dub...but its sufficient enough I guess, better than nothing and better than Malaysians poor english subtitles.
