Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By JPN: The white fox girl is Shiro. Another fox girl, who is younger and still a trainee fox spirit, eventually shows up. Her name is Suzu. I went digging back through the manga, and the tanuki girl (not a fox, but a tanuki or raccoon dog) shows up in chapter 46, so I guess she didn't make her appearance early enough to be in the anime. When she gets tired, her country accent becomes noticeable, and she has more trouble maintaining her transformation to human form. Her name is Fukuda. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/64025/18-o_jpg-2346323.JPG Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By JPN: Originally Posted By Hunter-Killer: Another fox girl?

Quote HistoryHis closing monologue (8:46) closely matches my opinion, and does a great job explaining why anime is so much better than anything Hollywood has put out lately (or for quite some time, really). The story should always come before "the message", and art should always come before politics. I want to be entertained, not preached to. |

So, is there a consensus verdict on Horimiya?
It came up in some earlier posts but I did not recognize it - only to discover that I have it in my queue in my Funimation account (which is likely to expire shortly). I’ve watched all of ep.1 and part of ep. 2. But I’m not sure whether or not I want to get sucked into watching a teen rom-com, if that’s what it’s gonna turn into. |

I’ve watched all of ep.1 and part of ep. 2. But I’m not sure whether or not I want to get sucked into watching a teen rom-com, if that’s what it’s gonna turn into. It's a high school romantic comedy (and it actually is pretty funny) that gets into the issue of how there is a public image or perception of a person, and then there is how the person actually is when they aren't trying to live up to the expectations of others. If my fuzzy memory isn't off, there was a manga done by the author, then a series of 4 or 5 OVAs using the author's art style for the characters. Then the author got a publishing deal that involved a collaboration with an artist (new art style for the characters) and a reboot of the manga. That was followed by the anime using the art style from the reboot, but trimming the source material down considerably, so that they could get it all in a single season. ETA: It's the type of romantic comedy where the male lead has friends who are jealous of him having a girlfriend, but also feel sorry for him, because of what his girlfriend puts him through. |

Sempai there's another magical girl in the storage room! Hey, anybody can be a magical girl if they want to be, right? I’ve been enjoying it. I thought that overall, ep. 3 was brilliantly executed, between the creative concept that set the stage for masterful maneuvering for political advantage and the infighting among the various factions, with each one pushing its own earnest yet ridiculous party platform, combined with the interplay between the characters that helped to more fully build out their individual personalities and motivations.

I know you guys are more interested in the new shows being released, but are there any older shows you might recommend for someone fairly new to anime?
I'm almost finished with Ergo Proxy, which I've really enjoyed so far, and could use some more recommendations like that. It looks like it was from 2006-2007, which is what got me thinking about older anime series that might not get mentioned much anymore. What are your favorite older anime? |
