Have you ever seen true love in anime? Not to be confused with

Love that goes somewhere isn't there to stay, and is thus finite.
True love is unconditional and immobile.
Like anons on /a/, no matter how shit /a/ turns out to be, no matter how much spam and crossboard shit is rained upon us, no matter if the moderation is nonexistent or deleting good threads, anons will not go away. And if you listen carefully, you can hear their song, very softly.

>Not to be confused with that "pure love" that never goes anywhere.
What's the difference between true love and pure love? In my opinion love can only be true if it is pure.

>>147831542

Well that's certainly not true, Anon. Love can get all sorts of fucked up, derailed, full of tragedy or problems or personal failings yet still be true. Purity can go right out the window and pretty much will sooner or later. The "true" part is whether or not the love was real enough to last through this, or was some bullshit Disney fantasy.

>>147831671
Purity is the ideal people should strive for. And anime, as an aesthetic medium should be idealistic.

>>147831708
That'd be limiting the medium. There's room for both.

>>147831738
There are other media for the unaesthetic and degenerate. Live action film for example.

>>147831708
Purity is otaku pandering garbage

>>147827572
That's not love anon. That's denial. And i'ts o-okay to run away sometimes!

All memes aside this really was as true a love as anyone could see. Of course that's exactly what made everything that happened afterwards all the more devastating.

>>147832116
It's pretty one sided. Ataru likes stringing her along, sure, but he will instantly forget about her the moment he sees someone else.

>>147832430
Your rhetoric betrays you as an outside who doesn't even belong here. It's time for you to really go back to /reddit/ now.

I think you've over-idealized anime. It's more about fantasy than expressing an ideal of beauty that should be aspired to.

>>147832434
Ataru is a male tsundare when it comes to Lum. He refuse to show any emotions to her, but as soon some is trying to hit lum or she is leaving him, he takes action.

They also end up back together at the end of even after all the stuff that happened in that episode.

Simple as that.

How come this thinly veiled recommendation thread hasn't been deleted yet?

>>147832744
Not everyone has your paranoid obsession with whether or not other people are trying to be super sneaky to get a recommendation instead of just going to /wsr/ or literally any other site where people won't start shrieking about recommendations and spoonfeeding not being allowed.

>>147832588
I think you're misunderstanding here. Expressing an ideal of beauty does not necessarily mean that ugliness cannot be shown. It is a matter of how it is presented. In western live action film one can find a glorification of the ugly. The anti-hero, often in form of a criminal or otherwise deviant is glorified. Female sexual promiscuity is presented as a good thing, something to strive for, etc.
In anime, you don't have this. Japan is a more collectivist society and in that regard the artists still feel an obligation to transmit certain values through their work. Even if the ugly is to be seen, it usually serves the purpose of contrasting the pure and aesthetic.

>>147833022
I do get what you meant about ugliness, I just think that you're being rather unfair to both mediums by painting them as being a single way. All creators transmit values through their work, but the individual author affects it at least as much as the culture itself does.

>>147833621
I'm describing a tendency not a rigorist imperative that all individual pieces are subject to.

Love Laika in idolmaster is the only example that comes to my mind, you could see that characters actually trusted and cared for each other

A homo example, but pic related. Two fucked up aloof people who fixed each other's lives and many lifelong issues. No wonder one of the closing manga chapters about them was called Love Is Love's Own Reward.

It's because they basically knew by around the end of Crest that they were meant for each other and there was no real need to say it, plus, there were more pressing matters to come before their romance.

CCS exemplifies the distinction even more when you look at Sakura's affection and how differently it manifests when she is with Yukito, her dad, XiaoLang and Mizuki.

Her saving him half dead is one of my favorite scenes in anime.

>>147834886
Well, mostly that the manga went further and concluded properly. The anime did do it masterfully, as far as it actually adapted, but not so well as to actually do it better than the source material. Precious few manage that. This did come closer than most, though.

>>147834648
Honestly VNs are better at showing true love. Mostly because they have the luxury of time.

>>147827572
Sounds like Stockholm syndrome when you bring 4chan into it.

Love is blind as the saying goes.

>>147832305
She would probably have loved Griffith more had he accepted her feelings

>>147827006
Romance in anime is lame. When it comes to intimate relationship there's not really any good example. Nips in general is averted to over intimate relationship.

Definitely. She and Guts didn't know each other all that well and had very little in common. As Casca herself said, their "love" was just licking each other's wounds briefly.

Miura just had them fuck so the Eclipse would be worse.

Still, they probably could have gone some places in a better world.

It was subtle but If you paid attention to it, you could notice how they cared for each other throughout the show.

>>147835552
Stop watching anime for manchildren and literal children then.

>>147836183
Because you can't find real love, anon. You have to build it. And since it's more like a private understanding, a relationship like that is not really visible to other people.

>>147827006
Love in general is fickle and a "true" love story is hard to write so no I have not seen a "true" lovestory in fiction nor in real life. If you wanted to write one it should be a long story like maison ikkoku but the characters in that act quite often in incomprehensible ways, the manga has some aspects that work better in that regard but it balances it off by being absolutely retarded in other aspects. Anyhow you op would probably enjoy maison ikkoku, I know I did even if it does have it's flaws.
