>>142501692
People just get pissy over NNB because it got voted AOTY in that silly poll a few years back.

>>142501764
But isn't comfy by definition entirely subjective?

Essentially it's weeb-ASMR.

You can feel free and try to shit on it for having zero substance, but in the end only one of us will be unrelaxed.

It's called summer for a reason people. Let me tell you more as I rock back and forth in my rocking chair.

>>142501858
You mean how newbies take the "being edgy about everything" meme seriously?

This is how /pol/... happened.

>>142501902
/pol/ is not edgy. In fact it's the opposite.

>>142501214
This to be honest. ARIA is pretty much the apex of SoL.

>>142501792
Hopefully they'll adapt the sky whale chapter and we'll get to see her then.

>>142501838
Comfy means it works to create a calming atmosphere.

Also, protip: when you see someone insulting a SoL show with the term "boring" it is almost always bait, especially when accompanied by lazy typing.

I just don't get it. Why are some of you enjoying this so much? As far as SoL/iyashikei goes it feels pretty middle of the pack to me. Nothing really stands out. Character design and art direction are pretty standard and the ost is pretty forgettable.

I don't know why, but in more than one way, this show just rubs me the wrong way as an SoL. I dunno. This is coming from someone who's favorite show is Aria.

>>142503697
I don't think it's the top of the pack of SoLs but I personally like it a lot because of the way it weaves in magic and mundanity together. The cafe episode was especially great because of this. It's also the reason why I think Chinatsu carries the show so hard. She's by far the most dynamic character in the show because of her sense of wonder and childish awe towards the mysticism she comes upon day by day.

That being said, what I will admit the show lacks are those emotional highs and really satisfying moments of catharsis that soothe the soul. I think that alone is what's keeping me from ranking this show any higher.

>>142488505
I'm now sure, it's indeed the brand new meme: Aria is now shit. Bravo, c/a/ncer.

Why was episode 5 so decidedly awful?

It's got a really nice pacing that makes everything flow together well and I love how subtle it is in the presentation of jokes and lewd.

It's also got a nice setting and nothing about it is particularly bad. It just places less of an emphasis on characters and jokes than most SoLs in favor of the atmosphere.

Flying Witch is special because it's very restrained and subdued. It takes its time and progresses really slowly, hitting a few comedy notes without letting that dominate the otherwise conversational feel. That helps it feel more immersive because the characters seem to behave more like people than like comedy tropes.

I'll agree with >>142503820 that it lacks the "emotional highs" of a show like Aria or NNB, but I'll disagree that that's holding back its potential. I think it's just going for something slightly different and I think maybe leaving out those big emotional highs is helping it in a way by making it more peaceful.

What it has instead are moments of realization or learning as well as bits of growth, which is how it reminds me of Aria. My favourite one is still when Chinatsu realizes that the Spring Courier just wants to be her friend. That's one of those big moments from childhood when you realize that even adults just want to be liked, and that even a child has the power to hurt someone's feelings. After that though you see Chinatsu growing and being more bold and less timid around supernatural things, because her initial hesitation is giving way to her curiosity. So it's heartwarming to see her run over to the Shroud of Night and ask what she's reading , when Episode 2 Chinatsu would never have done something like that.

Anyways my favourite thing about Flying Witch is just how understated it is. It feels very light compared to other comedy SOLs.

Speaking as someone who generally loves SoLs, I must say that letting "comfy" spread here from /v/ was a mistake. People have cheapened it to a useless meme word that means literally nothing; its ironically now a mirror of the equally cancerous and empty "nothing happens" complaint. If you use either term you need to kill yourself; they contribute nothing and just act as weak bait at best.

I'm not denying that these kinds of shows incite these feelings but comfyposting are low quality posts which only attract more blogposters and shitposters especially if combined with AOTS comments and shitting on other SoLs.

That's entirely missing the point. We call them comfy because they literally make us feel comforted/comfortable/cozy. I wouldn't bother defending Flying Witch to someone who thinks it's boring. That's their problem if they can't handle a series which is unashamedly character-based instead of plot-based.

That feeling when you're shipping fails miserably and lies at the bottom of the sea.

Aria may be most overrated anime in existence. It's completely juvenile from a writing perspective and has sterile visual direction, but people prop it up as this atmospheric masterpiece.

>most overrated anime in existence
dunno about that. There's plenty more entries above it on MAL
>completely juvenile from a writing perspective and has sterile visual direction
The simple writing and how the characters develop were nothing too special I'll grant you that. What makes the show work for me is the romantic undertones that is set up by the music and imagery. It felt like a romance between Akari, her friends and Neo-Venezia itself more than a "purer" more banal slice of lice which is what Flying Witch is closer to.
Speaking of which, I'd like to know your opinion on Flying Witch since I would say the same shit in regards to writing and visuals.

I think there is beauty in that simplicity. Now I realize people will probably shit on me hard because of this, but I think a prime example of that this season is Unhappy which was mostly written off as generic garbage but that can't be helped. It builds upon a very simple premise with arguably one-note characters and even more simple scenarios but excellently pursues the overarching theme of the show through the sheer straightforwardness of its execution.

Honestly, I'd say that show is the second most healing anime this season. I'd even say that at least two of its episodes have possibly trumped FW in the healing department.

>>142515726
Second to what?

>>142515818
Flying Witch, of course.

...Anon, I was making fun of you.

Nobody ever claimed that the writing was exceptionally stimulating or that the art was above average or some shit like that. People enjoy the show and don't put too much into it apart from that. You are the only one making this an artistic thing. Things can also be popular by just being enjoyable. And to those it was just a soothing experience.
Not everything has to meet your personal intellectual or artistic standards. Dear god, man. You literally picked the most subjective thing to bicker about.

I bet you're fun at parties.

>>142516884

>>142488559
Now this is shitposting.

>>142488559
You are correct.

What's the MC like in this?

>>142500669
Can't speak for others but personally I just didn't like it's general approach to be honest. Most series of this type have a show-don't-tell approach whereas Aria just spoonfeeds you tons of exposition and keeps having characters say how happy everything is instead of having the setting and events talk for itself. Also the cat mascot thing is pretty annoying.

>>142504528
>the "emotional highs" of a show like Aria or NNB
>or NNB
I'm pretty sure NNB is liked for being "very light" like how you're describing this series, not for it's emotional highs.

>>142517340
NNB had the big nostalgic moments like Episodes 3, 4 and 10 in the original, and practically every other episode in Repeat.

>>142513920
I doubt you've seen the entire show including The Natural and The Origination.

>>142500669
Because some people try to rationalize themselves watching a socially frowned upon form of entertainment as it being "artistic" or "2deep4u". Meaning anything trying to be purely entertaining is automatically "overhyped". Because people don't like it for the right reasons.

That and some people fail miserably at temporal context. As in "didn't age well" vs "the animation is a shit!".

Yuyushiki is the thinking man's Lucky Star.

>>142517340
NNB isn't really that "light". Feels pretty natural in how it's delivered most of the time, which is why it works so well even, but not "light".

>>142518128
If it didn't have those odd "old" or "dialect" puns, it would be pretty damn light.

>>142518128
People praised NNB for being slow and good. You can tell immediately, since the first minute of the show was slow shots of the village they lived in put to music, and that crying gif is nearly a minute long in the show. But Flying Witch is just as slow, and doesn't have the exaggerated antics of Natsumi and Komari. Witch is also more one-sided towards comedy, in contrast to NNB which had several emotional and nostalgic points. They're comparable, but distinct.

>>142517907
It's also due to people expecting certain things from something and not getting it, but yes mainly for people who don't understand that entertainment is why most people like and watch an anime (on /a/ at least). So obviously there's going to be different opinions on something and not everyone will like it because entertainment is subjective.

I think it's just people not taking it easy and getting wound up about other people liking things.

That's what I am saying. Sure, you can talk about artistic things in writing or art intellectually and discuss them. And for some people this is what they want out of it. But sometimes these peope suddenly think they have "taste" and therefore these "objective" stuff must apply to everyone. Including the creators.

Telling people to stop enjoying things like that is true degeneracy.
And it's doubly ironic, since I have a hunch, that people enjoying this particular genre mostly just want a break from heavy stuff, rather than just watching something more mainstream to turn their brain off to.

At least that's what I get out of it. I watch little other anime. This is one of my very private things I do, just to catch a break from time to time.

I worry about Chinatsu. Akane mentioned that girls who aren't born with witch blood, but want to become witches, have a really tough time and basically have to give up their normal way of life. But she seems to be taking it really lightly. Maybe Akane (and also Chinatsu's parents) are just humouring her and hoping she'll give up on it once she realizes how difficult it is?

They were. Except for the t-shirt, that was lame.

I really dislike this theory and I can't explain why.

Because it means cute little Chinatsu finds a boy she likes.

But seriously, all that serial killer show she puts on sort of fits Chinatsu's ideas of what to do as a witch when she grows up.

Why is Kei so alpha?

Half the time, when they invite him to see something that defies common knowledge and logical explanation, he's like "nah, you go, I'm watching TV". In a certain way I admire him for that.

I love flying witch, but it is not even close to YKK. YKK is on another level, YKK is as close to perfection as a manga can get.

>>142530185
Anon you're replying to 20 hour old bait.

>>142530602

20 hours means nothing if you insult YKK, I'd reply to millennia old posts that insult it.

Not even the best trainwreck of the season.

The threads would be fine if they hadn't overhyped it at the beginning and guaranteed shitposters would flock to it.

>>142529155
And from what the mama witch and mini witch say, it was top tier quality mandrake. Its like farts is handing childhood friend gold and childhood friend wont take it because it looks funny.

>>142530142
I feel like kei is secretly a super powerful wizard and is just humoring them.

>>142529828
Underrated post.

Kei is a metaphor for people who don't understand the appeal of healing anime.

That's why he takes his surroundings for granted and pays them no particular mind.

>>142531324
Pretty sure he's just the typical boring MC archtype you get all the time but okay

>>142528906
>you can only discuss one show per thread
>pretending like fanbases are show-specific with no overlap

Fuck off with your general mentality. The anons in this thread are the same ones in every other thread and we don't have to isolate ourselves just because you want to categorize discussion.

>>142530142
With such a spread of beauties inhabiting my place I'd make sure to visit the laundry bin often.

>>142531399
Typical MC gets more flustered and thinks too much. Kei is alright.

Also, he hasn't run into Makoto while she's taking a bath yet.

>>142531598
I dont think it would bother either of them.

>>142531660
I only want to see Akane's reaction when they tell her.

>>142531399
>typical boring MC archtype
Except he's not?
He's nothing like your regular awkward, permavirgin excuse of a man protag. Kei just doesn't give a fuck.

I dunno man, MCs who don't have a strong reaction to anything in particular is pretty typical too.

>>142504652
>Why are comfyfags such pretentious assholes?

I'd actually argue that comfyfags lack the discernment necessary to be called pretentious. They'll watch absolutely anything, as long as it:

1) Features a cast of predominantly female characters
2) Is set in a rural area
3) Doesn't have an overarching plot

If it meets those criteria, it's "comfy," and therefore good. There's no pretention there, just straight up shit taste.

Takeru wasn't the MC in the anime.

S2 never ;_;

>>142531870

Exactly twice, and this is one of them.

Dude probably has his own harem at school too.

>>142532129
This fucker is too cool to just be a normal guy. He is definitely hiding some deep dark secret. Like he is a yakuza boss or a demon lord or something.

>>142531399
But he's nowhere nearly close to being the MC for this show. That's Makoto, the flying witch who barely flies at all.

>>142532220
Really? Kei seems to get the most screetime, he seems like the mc to me.

Chinatsu gets the most screentime

>>142532392
No way. She is behind both farts and kei kun.

>>142532005
So you're agreeing with me then? Not having any sort of strong reaction to things at all is very typical. Not inherantly bad depending on how it's done or the context it's used, sure, but still typical.

>>142532083
Etotama was pretty bad, nice CG and cute concept aside. I'd watch a S2 though. It still amazes me how few people gave a shit about it in the end.

>>142532220
I guess Makoto could be considered the MC too. Even so I'm speaking in general archtypes here, Kei is prominent enough for it to apply to him too I feel.

>>142531870
>If it meets those criteria, it's "comfy," and therefore good. There's no pretention there, just straight up shit taste.
I can tell you're pretty new to the slice of life/iyashikei genre. It's okay. As you grow up, experience life and mature you'll eventually start to see the appeal. So don't feel frustrated if you don't right now.
And more importantly don't try to rush it, it doesn't work that way.

>>142532452
>So you're agreeing with me then?
No.

Typical MCs, doesn't matter how the react, they'd follow the [event].

Kei just doesn't give a fuck.

>>142532452
It's Makoto you retard, that's why it stands for Makoto Character. Fuck.

>>142488467

Guess he was wrong about the pretension.

>>142488467

That gave me a good laugh. Picked up.

>Etotama was pretty bad

It was ahead of it's time.

I consider myself highly intellectual and I quite enjoy anime.

Retard.

Can you back that up? No offense

>>142533191
Well, my intelligence quotient backs it up.
