Why don't you give your definition of a good drama if you think these are so shit

i had to drop shigatsu because i got spoiled and i wish that it didnt end that way

>>146421513
>fantastic plot
>amazing animation
This has to be bait, right? Shigatsu's "plot" consisted of several hamfisted drama subplots slammed together half-assedly, and the animation was run-of-the-mill.

Where did I imply that? He said Shigatsu had an amazing plot and I told him he was wrong.

That said, the mood was also garbage - they'd swing between somber moments and slapstick comedy, and they talked all through the performances.

>>146421674
Wasn't the mood 90% the MC being a giant pussy and 10% the MC girl being a tsundere? I felt absolutely nothing when she died because she had no personality.

Shigatsu's mood was wildly inconsistent, and they couldn't construct an actual sad scene or empathetic characters to save their lives. They just threw in stereotypically sad story elements and some pretty colors and hoped that would do the job.

Yes don't you get the emphasis buddy?

>>146422125
Taiyou no Ie and Bitter Virgin are pretty good (though Taiyou no Ie got bogged down a bit in that love polygon shit in the middle), but Natsu no Zenjitsu shits the bed hard. I didn't care about the MC's hipstery mono no aware angst, I cared about the cute romance.

>>146422540
>though Taiyou no Ie got bogged down a bit in that love polygon shit in the middle
Eh, it was never really any contest. Younger brother was just adding a little bit of drama, but it was obvious that it wasn't harmful. After one chapter the author said the story was based on her mother and father who are 10 years apart, so it was only ever really about two people healing their families.

>Eh, it was never really any contest.
Of course it was never a contest, but that doesn't make those parts more interesting or fun to read.
>it was only ever really about two people healing their families
And sticking more closely to that would have been better. Though again, I still liked the manga.

>>146421859
This.

>>146422540
It would have been nice to have more background, but I felt like I understood the MC's feelings

Im so confused about how YLiA is so popular. Started it a couple days ago; still have 3 episodes left. I read the synopsis and thought it had an interesting plot. Its fuckin shit most of the time.

The competition/concert scenes are great. Really captures the atmosphere well. But holy shit there are so many episode where there are like 4-5 characters all fucking crying about completely unrelated shit and the episode goes all over the place.

Then it falls into the same old tired, cliche, unfunny anime slapstick gags. I dont think I even smirked at a single joke in this whole series.

Finally you have these 12-14 year old characters having these intense internal monologues dealing with their thoughts and emotions. Its unrealistic. A fucking 12 year old isnt this deep, even if theyre a musician.

This is coming from someone who really enjoyed Toradora despite the forced drama. Compared to that though, YLiA has about as much forced drama in a single episode as Toradora has in half the series.

The music scenes at least save it from being unwatchable though. Definitely wouldnt recomend the series to a friend unless they were into classical music.

>Shigatsu wa Kimoi no Kuso
Are these niggas serious?
Any run of the mill romance series airing right now is better than that garbage.

>>146425331
You'd have to be a 14 year old who only started watching anime a few months ago in order to appreciate Shitgatsu.

>>146425331
My favorite parts were every six episodes when they remembered that the childhood friend had some sort of romance plotline going with her senpai, so they'd just throw in two minutes of her walking with him or whatever as though anyone cared. Or the like two times the entire series when they remembered that Kaori was technically going out with MC's friend.

>>146424524
then what is anon?

I haven't watched TADA BANARI yet. What am I missing?

It was decent but just another run of the mill shoujo romance where every character's personality stems from very silly things and miscommunication. The girl was extremely cute though.

Toradora is a masterpiece.
April Lie is a forced cheap tearjerker.

>>146426717
But Chika Umino's romance brings only frustration.

My favourite. I wish all anime couples could get together based on pure compatibility and 'clicking' the way Koizumi and Otani did, I can't fucking stand awkward couples who spend more time being shy around each other than having fun.
