"Don't believe yourself. BELIEVE IN ME WHO BELIEVES IN YOU!"
You are in for a wild ride lol
Last night I watched 5 Centimeters/Sec, which is your basic romantic, slice of life, type anime, done in three parts for essentially an hour long movie, about a boy and girl who increasingly are set apart from each other and how they handle the love they can't have with each other. I felt like the first two parts were well done if you like simple romance stories, which I can get enjoyment out of, but the third part kinda just drops the ball for me personally.
Also watched all of Girls Und Panzer, which is basically a highschool club anime with girls who drive around in tanks. The concept is goofy as heck, but it's actually fairly entertaining. No fan service for once, and the tanks are all real WW2 type tanks which helps add to this charm in the juxtaposition of cute school girls and heavy metal warfare lol I kinda want to know more about the world they are in, but they don't spend a lot of time on the background where there are schools on battleships turned into lush green landscapes...has to do with an overreaction to education issues, but it never made much sense to me lol
Tried to watch Nagi no Asukara, an anime where there are essentially two types of humans, those who live in the sea and are just totally normal humans that live underwater in their own town, and those on land who are just regular humans. Interaction is normal, but questioned at times as some of the underwater kids we follow are now going to school on land thanks to a sorta protection they have which allows them to breathe that is only temporary if it stays dry to long. It has some rather beautiful animation and the idea is unique, but I have no idea how this world functions where they just seem to live underwater and everything essentially behaves like everything does on land, but they can swim when they want and they kinda live with fishes around. It's hard for me to ignore the physic issues with everything and I don't think I can continue on just ignoring it lol
