>rec thread

You need to ask for epic dub recommendations if you want a large amount of responses from /a/. Try to somehow mix in a theme of your choice

>>110880759
beat me to it

>>110880721

Rec threads,even diguised ones, are not allowed on /a/.

Boku no pico

Shin Sekai Yori.

If you get over the '2deep4you' reputation of the show it's actually quite good. Also it really isn't 2deep4you unless you happen to the be a highschool freshman.

Code Geass

>>110881018
Thanks. Yeah, usually whenever says something is 2deep or pretentious it doesn't turn out that way. I think plenty of people would rather dismiss something as pretentious babble rather than put some effort into thinking about it.

>>110881069
Already seen it, great show though. It was at a great time for me too, because it was right after my one and only long-term girlfriend dumped me for another guy. So I was really depressed and wanted to go full-NEET and it propped me up a bit and made me scared of falling too deep into that lifestyle. I've heard the manga and novel are even darker, though -- with drugs and stuff. Have you read those?

Definitely affected my outlook on young boys forever.

That fucking movie. Blog time.

I do a lot of roleplay, and I met someone pretty special on an RP site years ago. She and I had our OC's, hit it off well and enjoyed writing together. I learned she had cancer, and we became attached and friendly out of character. I absolutely loved the way she wrote, too. It inspired me and I'm still proud of all the stuff we've written together in those years.

I talked to her as she struggled with all the surgeries and such. We even traded phone numbers. When her life caught up with her and she finished her surgeries and began making vast improvements on her health, completely free and happy, we grew a bit distant because of how hectic our lives were. We still texted a bit and even webcammed (she's fucking gorgeous).

One day she texts me that she watched 5cm per second and kept thinking of us. I watched it right after and thought it was fantastic and saw where this was going.

She's too busy to come online much anymore, and I haven't seen her in about two years and we've all but stopped texting eachother. Moving on is tough, dude.

That movie though, fucking excellent.

>>110881164
go see her

>>110880721
The lesson of 5 cm/second: "Maybe I shouldn't be a pussy ass bitch"

>>110881196
She's married now (one time she texted me saying "I wish there were two of me.", and something about wanting me as well.) In fact, we were really close while she and him were just boyfriend and girlfriend.

Plus she's in the states and I'm a Canadian. I'd like to go see her sometime but I work a pretty low paying job and can barely pay for rent, food and I'm slowly paying off my school tuition. It's not gunna happen.

>>110880721
>/a/, spoonfeed me good anime to watch because I'm a lazy ass faggot.

Can you please fuck off or, at least, try to veil your intentions?

sorry for the anime discussion

>>110882230
You sure sound like one

>Anime changed my life u guyz!

I honestly don't know why anyone likes 5ch per second. I mean, the animation is beautiful, but that's all it has going for it. The rest of the movie is middle-school tier relationship drama "she likes him but he likes someone else" shit. How could that change your outlook on life? Didn't you experience that crap first hand in middle school like everyone else?

>>110881164
Fuck off.
The movie was shit.

I never said "any media", anime is terribly childish and only good for fap material.
Only teens think is deep or life changing.

Not anime but I was emotionally stunted as fuck and this brought out the white knight in me as a teen. Then shows like TTGL inspired me for a short while.

Yes I was impressionable, I think it was for the better..

>You're not allowed to enjoy anime here on the anime board
>I only watch shows to wank, so you should too!

what are you even doing in this thread

>>110882568
Fuck.

>>110882535
You can enjoy it alright, I enjoy anime very much when did I say you couldnt?

And yes fapping is the best thing it has.
It has other qualities too ,but life changing definitely isnt one of them, unless you are a teen, or a manchild.

>>110882555
Trolling, obviously.

>>110882555
Laughing at impressionable children.
And you?

>>110882666

Fuck all of you for still bumping this shit rec thread.

Not really, why?

>>110882611
I can't say I've had my life changed by any medium, but doesn't mean I'm going to act like a cunt to everyone who has. Hell, you yourself said you had your life changed by non-anime mediums. To me, that's exactly the same thing as having your life changed by anime. If you think that they're childish then you must realize that you are just as childish as they are.

You people are faggots. The fuck why aren't rec threads allowed? Help the neckbeard find his favorite anime on an anime fucking board. Fuck you all.

>>110882913
>>110882731

I'm glad your true intentions have been outed OP. Now please fuck off. /a/'s lack of tolerance for rec threads is easily one of the board's best factors. Keeps entry level faggots out and stops the board from being flooded with the same exact threads 24/7.

Wanking to cartoons is more immature than enjoying them for their intended thematic content.

I remember finishing 5cm per second and then 5 seconds later it hit me that the boy from each story was the same boy. What a great fucking movie

>>110882913
Yeah, there are many resources for finding anime to watch. This board is foe discussion, not recommendations.

Just lurk if you want to find shows that people here enjoy.

>>110889430
5cm per second's target audience confirmed for mentally challenged.
