terrible character development

anime goes from serious tone to comedic relief way too often and spontaneously

Got tired of the mc being a jobber all the time.

>>145810069
some weeb retard i know named snafu likes that garbage too much they're a poo eater tho so confirmed retard

DIE WEEBS

>>145810069

A lot of the scenes were drawn out and melodramatic. The anime itself could have shaved a few episodes and nothing would be lost (except incessant flashbacks). The tone of the story never seems to hit the right balance with the comedy and the cry porn. Some tired and used tropies, ie. Kaori is a cutout of a manic pixie dream girl.

That's not to say its a universally bad show though. The music was pretty good. I enjoyed the art, especially the color palate. I won't deny bieng somewhat invested to the main girl. /a/ won't admit to liking it because its already very popular and highly (over?)rated with the MAL crowd.

Because it was just another one of those cookie cutter "omg he had an edgy past" and "omg she is sick and dying" drama series.
That alone is not much of a problem, really. But what triggers me about this series is that the author does not even seem to like classical music at all. He just used it as a medium to slow down the ending that we all can see right from the very beginning.

Shit could have been so much better if you removed the music altogether and just focused on the characterization and shit.

>>145810368
Forgot to complain about the constant mood whipslash that ruins the drama every single time.
If you want to set a mood, do it and do not interrupt it

>>145810368
If we remove the music we're left with a girl that like to eat cake and a guy who's depressed for no reason.

>>145810069
too many fucking flashbacks

>>145810403
I'd watch it

>>145810069
Unliikable characters
terrible art style
main character abuse getting played for laughs when his past abuse is anything but
uninteresting plot

mc's trauma was retarded and was the worst part of the show

>>145810069

I liked it. Cried too.

>>145810403
So much better than a story that pretentiously declares a love for music.
Faggot actually thinks that only a select few can play classical music onstage when in reality, children do it everytime
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHYHcPe_Te8

It's like watching a kid lecturing everyone about the "did you know" facts that he just read. We get it, you like the admiration brought from being pretentious.
But for gods sake, don't let it get in the way of proper story

>>145810445
>main character abuse getting played for laughs when his past abuse is anything but
That's the point I've been waiting for. My pet theory is that the violence is vastly exaggerated by the narrator. Look at the cases in which Kaori is not directly involved. For example:

1) In the first scene the MC is knocked out by a basketball and bleeds all over the place.
2) When they race to the music competition the MC falls down and again bleeds heavily.

The other characters all seem to ignore this. Therefore I don't think the Kaori on MC violence actually happens in the reality of the show.

>>145810069
Violent abusive bitch. I'm glad she kicked the bucket. Too bad the other bitch friend didn't die though.

>>145810529
How am I supposed to know if this is actually good without the audience telling me?

>>145810603
See >>145810562

I came from /v/ and I liked it. The rival's loli sister brought about a whole new meaning to the dynamic between a fledgling pianist and a musician burdened by a dark past. Pic related has given the series the feeling of hope that somehow it won't end in tragedy. I just used some random buzzwords I can think of. The show is merely okay. Forced drama maybe, but it's still well-delivered.

>>145810069
This is actually one of Eiichiro Oda's favorite manga.

I really like the art and animation. But that's as far as my admiration goes

>>145810788
I think the problem is that the medium was to expressive. In the manga there is no sound and therefore we have to believe the audience that this kid is really exceptional.

But in the anime they actually have to play the music. And either the viewer knows music and doesn't get fooled by the audience's opinions or doesn't know music and gets annoyed that it's not "show don't tell".

>>145810069
Dropped it during episode 1, obviously shitty.

>>145810069
I hated it and didn't even finish it because I kept getting pissed off when these shit teenagers who didn't know anything about MC's trauma kept acting like they knew exactly how to cure him. I know that's what real teenagers are like, but I'd drop real teenagers a few episodes in if I could, too.

>>145811118
they act like teenagers, but they speak like hipster college students

>>145810562
>>145810670
It doesn't matter whether it "really happened" or not--it was still visually represented to the viewer, who knew the details of MC's past. The delivery is in poor taste.

>>145811197
You've got it the wrong way around. Hipsters try to speak like artists. These guys are real artists.

It triggered my NTR senses.

>>145810069
Pacing was kind of shit and the melodrama (forced drama in /a/ terms) was cranked up to 11 at times. I also hated nearly every musical scene as well. Instead of simply letting the music flow and show us the reactions of the audience, it was always

>Wow, this song is so amazing I'm crying!
>I have never heard anything more beautiful in my life!
>My entire outlook on life has changed because of this experience!
>etc.

It felt pretentious as fuck, basically.

>>145810890
>And either the viewer knows music and doesn't get fooled by the audience's opinions
I know nothing about music. Was it bad or something? Sounds just like every other rendition to me tbqhhh senpaitachi

>>145811369
>Sounds just like every other rendition to me tbqhhh senpaitachi
that's the problem

>>145811369
It's not bad, it's just... music. There's nothing extraordinary about the performances, so when characters jerk it to the way these kids play, it falls flat.

>>145810222
What's there to explain?

There's nothing sweet about her lies. She "cucked" the MC with his best friend. She lies about her condition until there's no turning point. Then she writes some letter about how she fell in love with said MC when she was 8yo but she didn't want to tell him not to ruin their "friendship", all while MC is obviously in love with her. She willingly dies a virgin.

That letter should be enough to traumatize him for quite a few years.

Poor Taste: the musical.

>>145811442
I'm more tolerant when it comes to children who know that they're gonna die soon.

I got spoiled that she dies and since I'm autistic I refuse to watch a show once I learn of a major characters death. It's why I still haven't watched Clannad or Cowboy Bebop.

>>145811504
Jesus Christ, anon.

>>145811442
>That letter should be enough to traumatize him for quite a few years
This is what I get with the ending. The show should have left it at her dying on the operation room, but tried to make some sort of resolution to the title and we're left with this. She did much worse than just straight out asking him out or something.

>>145810069

Wasn't her reason for not getting with the MC that she was too scared to break into his circle of friends or something like that?

Add the dramatic music and typical teenage behavior is was just awful to watch, Also included the silly speech descriptions describing love like playing an instrument or something similar.

One of the most overrated shows I've ever witnessed, This has nothing on AnoHana.

>>145811694

>implying AnoHana was any good either

>>145811694
>AnoHana
I haven't watched this and I get the feeling I'll get spoiled if I read the wikipedia description. Is this also a feels anime?

>>145811502
Children who know that they are going to die soon usually try to cling to life as much as possible as long as they have the strength, trying to experience as many things of life as possible in the little time they've been allotted, by their own weakening resolve as well as the encouragement of their parents and friends.

But this chick is unrealistically depriving herself of some of those experiences, all because some tasteless jackass thought it would make for an original bittersweet and poetic ending.

They even brush the potential scarring of the MC with that shitty ghost player at his last recital.
>'Oh, well, we "said" our goodbyes in the stage so everything is cool lol'.

Fucking terrible.

If it had been a shorter series focused on the MC and his past traumas, the girl dying and their circle of close friends it would've been OK except for the ending.

But the greedy editor probably wanted a longer more light-hearted series, so the tone is all over the place, while also forcing the author to introduce more characters and events that add nothing to the basic plot line (like the clichéd rivalry and backstory of all those one-dimensional pianists), maybe hoping to churn out more chapters or a sequel.

>>145811770
Yeah just leave /a/ and watch it, If you let someone ruin it your experience will be awful.

Horrendous shifts in tone left the comedy falling flat and the drama feeling overblown.
The angst and melodrama was rehashed from the same sources, there's only so many times you can watch the protag get over his childhood trauma but lol not really.
The real nail in coffin though is that the music scenes weren't really that interesting, so it failed as a romance, a drama and a music show.

I want to fuck that girl though.

Your taste doesn't seem any better tbqh

Like in most anime the drama felt rather awkward and forced. Characters were kind of edgy and some of their reasoning was rather weird. I really liked the music, animation and the concert scenes. MC getting beatings from her tryhard cripple mom was a fucking stupid and the chick having space aids was a cliche. It was also a mystery why the chick pretended to be interested in the soccer dude if she actually liked the MC. Makes zero sense even after the ending. Why not just tell him that she wants the D. I suppose some of these things are reasonable if the characters are in middle school.

>>145810069
It's very forced, and I could see all the plot twists coming. It's a tear-jerker that isn't subtle enough about it.

>>145813672

if you knew anything about music you would realize how much work they have put into making it the musical masterpice it is.

>>145813781
I think an unsubtle tear-jerker can be okay if done correctly. I cried like a bitch at the end of Hotarubi no Mori e even though I knew what was coming pretty much right away. A good tear-jerker can make you dread the part you know will make you cry, because you care about the scenarios and/or characters.
Subtle or not, I had already been spoiled for Shigatsu, but I couldn't dread what was going to happen because I was too pissed off at so many of the characters.

>>145810136
aka: melodrama.
Might as well watch turkish soap opera, bunch of faggots.

>>145813803
Dude, it's just some musical composition that you can steal from YouTube.
It is the animators and directors whom you should praise

I just didn't find any of the characters interesting. A story like this completely hinges on its characters. Main girl who's name I already forgot is supposed to be this person you admire but I just thought she was kind of a silly cunt.

>>145813960

Like was that supposed to stifle the supposed love of your life by not getting over your death? That shitty letter at the ending made no real sense.

>>145814078
What? Not being forgotten after death is an idea found in many cultures around the world.

>>145811504
but her death flag was raised pretty early and was so fucking obviouswhat hit me the most was the ending scene

It was beyond melodramatic and the way the story was narrated was all over the place.

Too many pages/frames also tried to look extremely emotional/artistic and it just didn't traslate well enough, so it fall flat on its ass and lost any of its possible impact.

At least the shoes were well made.

>>145814598
I cried when best girl died. I'm blessed with a simple taste.

>>145814648
I was actually slightly surprised when the main character died. I actually wasn't sure that it was what happened when he read the letter at first, but it became obvious soon.

But well, it's been literally years since the last time I cried, so it's not like something like this is going to break the record.

>>145814377
She wouldn't have been forgotten anyway without her making that letter. The contents of the letter doesn't make sense at all aside from being a plot device of forcing the drama onto the viewer. She explicitly said in the letter she didn't want to insert herself into their friendship, yet what she did thereafter is the opposite of it. Then talks about this exposition that it was him all along that she wanted. It was her just being selfish making her easily the worst main girl in any anime.

i felt depressed for 3 days afterwards, i guess some people are just emotionless retards. I don't cry in the real world, literally just in anime and this one was up there.

It bounced between being really good in places and really aggravating in places. Overall it ended up to be decent for me, but that was it. Like a 6/10.

I feel like if you shortened the story it would be a lot better.

If only it could do that.

Piano performances suck a lot more when you have to listen to the peanut gallery chiming in every other second. I don't think there's a single uninterrupted minute of music in the entire series.

>>145810069
The music and art was great. I even had it as the background for my pc and listened to the soundtrack long before I actually got around to watching it.
It's probably the fact that you know exactly how it will end so it that makes less exciting. All the characters started out as likeable but ended up being assholes, especially Kao. I felt really bad for the mc.

>>145812151
It generally just means "it didn't go the direction I wanted to, in exactly the way I wanted it to, wah", particularly if the speaker isn't good at expressing what in the story didn't go the way they expected, or leans on weak descriptors like "unnatural".

The problem is that it's not necessarily wrong, it's just that anon isn't a good judge of how intelligent he is. Lots have shows have artificially accelerated developments or sudden tearjerker losses/moments without investing in the characters first that ruin them, but a closet-dwelling anon who's watched over a dozen animes is hardly the best judge of that, especially when it asks for any amount of empathy for characters unlike himself.

These are middle school students right? How can they be so melodramatic?

Bad art. Mediocre cookie cutter script.
2.5/5 as base score
+1 if you are sucker for melodrama
+1 if you are young and haven't read much for this type of tried and tested formula story.

>>145810069
The tragedy in the show was only there to make the audience cry. The only thing that happened worth crying over was a girl dying young, and she wasn't realistic enough to really make me feel bad about her dying. Same with plastic memories.

I do cry at stories that are actually sad, but this just didn't feel genuine to me.
