The amount of emotions I had from that last episode of Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso completely overpowered me. My shirt is totally tear soaked. This anime is seriously in my top anime of all time, if not the top.

This. If a show has characters I like, which this did, then I'm an absolute sucker for any kind of cheap melodrama they can through at me, and Shigatsu was full of it. Easily one of my favourite shows over the past two seasons, only topped by JoJo and Parasyte.

I feel like Shigatsu was a way to prove that animation is a wonderful medium. When done correctly, animation is beautiful, and can tell a story through visuals alone. A great musical score to match helps wonders, for while we can visually see a story play out on the screen, if we can't hear the story, then there's no real merit to it. Shigatsu succeeded there, and I applaud it for that, and I would love to see other studios do the same. However, what bothered me the most about it were the characters and of course the melodrama. Clichés aren't bad, per se, but when nothing "fresh" or "different" is being done to that cliché, then it's just like everything else. One of the key things I personally latch onto are the characters, and if they're well-written enough to be like real people, I grow attached to them. Of course, even if they were like real people, it doesn't mean I can automatically like them, and that can affect my own personal enjoyment. The only exception I can think of is Neon Genesis Evangelion in that while I have no real opinion on the show, I cared for none of the characters on an emotional level, yet they don't bother me--probably because we technically weren't supposed to really... attach ourselves to them. We're just observing; we can feel sorry for them, but we just can't empathize.
I honestly don't want to make this comparison out of fear I'll sound pretentious or whatnot, but the reason I really and truly love CLANNAD more over Shigatsu is because the characters were that much more real. Both series have their own melodrama (they're basically soap operas), yet I got to know the characters on a more personal level, and was able to understand their own personal demons and wanted them to succeed and live life--and when they did, I was happy for them, even if they didn't get exactly what they wanted (like they would have in another world). I feel Shigatsu struggled with that when it came to Kousei. It wasn't noticeable at first, but as the show went on, it got really, really frustrating to watch him struggle with his personal problems dealt from all the pressure his mother put on him. Yes, this happens to people, but I think it was a little too much here to the point I was ready to throw my hands up at any given time and say, "I'm done. You're hopeless." I didn't say "I'm done", but I still thought, "You're hopeless" even after he kinda-sorta got over his blockade. He really is not an interesting character past his blockade, and even the blockade had its limits. Kaori has more personality than him, and was less frustrating to watch even after we got it shoved in our faces that she was very sick. She's like a more energetic Nagisa, but I still prefer Nagisa over Kaori, not because Nagisa has qualities and traits I can connect to (that I've also seen in people I know), Kaori is like that too. I feel it's mostly because she really was able to connect with her love interest, meanwhile Kaori was pretty much lying to herself most of the time. She connected with Kousei, but that chemistry never completely clicked for me, even though it's totally there. I dunno, maybe his own issue with his near-mother complex made me think it was never going to truly work out despite her being the catalyst.
Then there's the other characters who I'm really starting to forget because... I just was never interested in those characters. Tsubaki is your typical tomboyish tsundere, Watari is the guy who's just... there, oblivious to the fact that his "girlfriend" never had feelings for him when it was so obvious. There's Kousei's aunt and niece... ehhhh... Then there's the two "rivals" and I just couldn't get into them, especially with that stupid hair of that boy's, like what's with that? It bothered me more than it should have. This kind of sounds a little petty, but supporting characters are just as important as the main characters are. They may not be the plot/story's main focus, but they do help it along while still being their own strong character. And unfortunately, Shigatsu didn't seem to want to have its supporting characters grow, it was more-or-less forced to.
I am not denying the show appealed to a lot of people, however, the characters just fell flat for me by the end. I warmed back up to Kaori with the final episode here with her posthumous letter, but not with Kousei. He's still a bland character in the end who can play his piano like he used to in the past. That's all he has to offer me. Really, at the end of the day, all I took out of the anime was that the animation and art is beautiful, one of the most beautiful I've seen in a long time, it's just that the story it's telling is a bit... thin due to characters I couldn't attach to complete with clichés that are present in other works with very little differences between them--even though CLANNAD is the exact same way yet I love that anime to death. Though it makes me wonder if I would've felt the exact same way had I not yet watched CLANNAD prior to Shigatsu... unless it was because of CLANAND that I started paying more attention to the characters in everything...

Anyone else see TRIGGER's entry in the Animator's Exhibition? It... actually wasn't well animated. Most of the time. It's just classic Imaishi style down to the dumb faces and dumber humor. If you liked Dead Leaves check it out. Also there's a fantastic Gurren Lagann reference which I loved.

Sadly, very few anime next season catch my eye, so much of those next couple months will be checking out and watching previously aired anime for me. In addition to finishing the rest of the Monogatari series, I already plan to watch Magi, Mayo Chiki, and Saekano. Maaaaybe R-15 if I actually want to finish that (probably wont happen). Oh, and maybe Jojo. I haven't decided yet. Judging that other people here love it, it seems like it wouldn't hurt to check out.
Speaking of Monogatari, Araragi kissed the two best girls in the same episode! AHHHHH! 10/10 best anime ever!

I kinda marathoned Mayo Chiki late last night. Woops. I loved it though. It was like a combination of OniAi, Haganai, and Ladies vs. Butlers. Naturally it'd be really good in my eyes. I hope there will be a second season someday.

Are you serious, Monogatari?! Oh my god, how mean can you be to me? You really made Hachikuji pass on? She didn't have plot armor?! And that sad kiss! I'm hurt! I really wasn't expecting that to happen, so I feel pretty cruddy right now. I hope nothing of the sort happens to any other characters, but dang I wasn't emotionally ready for that episode.

Crimson Dragon
has anyone here seen or tried world trigger? i tried the first 3 episodes but gave up after that. that guy cant seem to have much strength to begin with. i cant stand his extreme helplessness, he seems too underpowered to step up to the plate. he has the drive but not the power to accomplish it. plus the slapstick comedy mixed in doesnt work well.

I'm gonna play "catch-up" here, doing it one anime at a time. Just caught up to Koufuku Graffiti, which I'm just getting tired of, so I'm glad it's ending here soon. Sad Maria the Virgin Witch is coming to an end, but it promises a cute ending, so I'm looking forward to it. A dub also recently came out, but I haven't watched it, not sure if I will.

I like World Trigger. The fighting styles are quite interesting. As far as Osamu goes, he hasn't gotten much stronger, but you can see that he is making progress. Plus the show's story is quite good. I'd recommend sticking it out. Although, I don't think Toei is interested in rushing this series given that it's slated to be 52 episodes long. So unless you can stick it out I don't think there's much point in trying to catch up on twenty episodes. If you are, though, I don't think you'll regret it.
