This is how you do a romance anime.
Fast paced. No bullshit.
I wouldn't really call it romance even if Watashi's quest for love is a main part of it.
>>152160098
It's not a romance more so... something else.
Was its fast paced nature by design or just getting in everything the book had?
>>152160241
It's getting in even more than what the book had.
>>152160151
>>152160241
not op, but I've recently watched this and it was actually very good.
any suggestion on something similar?
i love it when the main character said in the end "lets just skip all the romance part"
It doesn't feel like romance to me
And the fast pace is its unique characteristic/style than anything
>>152160344
Paprika maybe ?
Daily reminder Ozu wasn't as much a cunt as Watashi imagined.
Actually I can't think of a single thing Ozu did to Watashi that didn't at least end up as a fortunate accident. Maybe he meant for that to?Except when he stole Atashi's plane I guess
>>152160344
Other Yuasa stuff
How would you describe Tatami Galaxy to a friend?
>>152160425
Yeah I've watched that already, it was also nice.
>>152160468
I wouldn't describe it too much because the mindfuck is what made it so good to me.
At the second episode I had no idea wtf was happening
>>152160468
>It's one of the best anime ever. I won't spoil you on the plot.
If you have to explain a little bit
>A dude goes to University and tries to have a rosy colored campus life.
>>152160344
Uchoten Kazoku, same writer.
Will I be able to enjoy this if I didn't go to college and I'm not planning to?
>>152160706
sure, why not
>>152160706
It may not have the personal value it has on others, but it's just a good-ass show.
When is the air date for the new show?
>>152160788
New movie you mean? I think it's in the spring.
>>152160706
do you really need every piece of fiction to mirror your own life at the shallowest level?
>>152160706
Have you ever felt unsure of your life or your goals/direction in it? Then yes. I think thats part of the reason why so many people remember it fondly. Its relatable on an almost universal level.
>>152160737
>>152160739
>>152160974
Thanks, gonna download it
>>152160908
I just thought it was highly tied to university life and that it wouldn't be as enjoyable if I didn't experience it.
>>152160788
>>152160903
whats this?
>>152161114
Science Saru is producing a new movie, the name of which slipped my mind (Yoru something), with the Tatami Galaxy staff based on a novel by the same author set before and in the same universe.
>>152160344
gatari shit
>>152161178
HOLY SHIT THATS FUCKING RAD
>>152161048
ah well my bad. i hope you enjoy it.
>>152161224
Fuck that
>>152161224
Nope.
>tfw my life is doing nothing & stuck in my room until the day i die.
This anime hit me hard.
>>152160344
It is, in some ways, similar to sayonara zetsubou sensei. Watch that.
>>152161317
Just get out of your room bro
>>152161317
Watch NHK that will solve that feeling.
>>152161317
this anime is all about doing the best with what you got and changing your attitude for better, what the fuck are you even doing right now
>>152161317
I know, right. Let's open the window and jump out of it.
what's your favorite club
I have problem socializing with someone, especially with woman.
and i cant handle any pressure in my life.
>>152161608
Higuchi's.
>>152161398
>>152161600
And i keep coming back into my room.
>>152160433
he just wanted to be with his waifu
>>152160433
You do realize that ozu is watashi right
>>152160151
I agree, it's much more of a general coming-of-age and friendship story. Even if you consider the conclusion being Watashi hooking up with Akashi, the climax is definitely about his relationship with Ozu, how much he loves him as a friend, and their role reversal. The romance isn't really the focus even if it's prevalent in most of the episodes.
>>152160098
>>152161720
remember that opportunity is always dangling in front of you
>>152161734
>ozu is watashi
>mfw a friend told me the same shit after he watched it
You seriously need to be a special kind of retard to miss the point this hard.
>>152161734
How?
>>152160098
Tatami Galaxy is a coming-of-age story, the romance is just a subplot and is really more of a friendship anyways.
>>152161734
You're saying it was some Fight Club sort of twist?
That sounds cool, but I don't think so. Remember all those times Ozu and Watashi were in the same room with others and they would be noticed by everyone? Like the climax to the Proxy Proxy war, or like pic. Or even the hospital scene eat the end.
No, the point is it is paralleling Watashi to Ozu, not saying they are the same person.
>>152161831
>the romance is just a subplot and is really more of a friendship anyways
Obviously, because the whole show is about the mental gymnastics Watashi does in order to avoid the fact that he just needed to ask her out. The moment he asked her out, the shows ends so of course we don't get to see the romance but instead the whole build up to the beginning of it.
>>152161806
Missed what point?
Seriously contemplating to buy the Blu-ray. They have a limited release in UK.
>>152160344
fuck off to >>>/wsr/
>>152161940
Watashi's personal growth having him developing a more outgoing personality which in the final reality makes him look like Ozu to Ozu himself, who is now seen as a normal person because Watashi no longers demonizes him.
That doesn't mean that he was Ozu, because that theory is retarded.
>>152162055
>Watashi no
I had a bit more of a giggle than I needed to
>>152161114

>>152162158
You forgot the complementary picture.
I think I've watched this trailer more than fifty times already. The movie can't come soon enough.
The true pain will be waiting for the BD.
>>152160344
Mind Game. Future protip: look up staff associated with a work to find other works that are similar.
>>152162158
Kinda too similar to Tatami Galaxy. A bit dissapointing.
>>152161811
>>152161806
I didn't mean that literally.
Ozu is always doing something watashi could be doing as well, they're in the same position and have all the same opportunities. To Watashi it always seems like he's just fooling around insted of getting his life together, but somehow Ozu's always having fun, while watashi is stressing over everything and ends up miserable. And then in the next episode watashi's doing whatever ozu was doing some other time and still feeling miserable. At the end he realizes it's all about attitude, becomes ozu and the other part of himself gets stuck in ozu as a reminder to just enjoy life.
My point was >>152160433 is stupid.
>>152162238
THEY PLANNED IT ALL ALONG
>>152162238
>turbochin sensei is included
Now I'm excited
>>152162303
I'd have said that too, but given the relation between the two it makes sense. Plus, we're getting like three Yuasa projects this year. I'd be disappointed if this was his only thing, but I'll take it gladly alongside more original projects.
>>152161240
>>152161285
Gatari is actual romance as the love interests are more than blank slates with a pretty face.
I liked TTG but Akashi was more or less a non-character.
Get fuuuuuucked.
>>152162480
Fuck off.
>>152162419
Wait I've only heard of the feature. What else is he doing this year?
>>152162312
Allow me to elaborate then. Ozu is much more a bro who pranks Watashi and even sometimes does things for the better of him, despite Watashi not realizing.
For example, the fake letters was a way for Ozu to "dude its a prank LMAO" at first, but then once Atashi got involved Ozu used that to let Watashi get connected with the girl he wants to. Ozu saw the lineage of the Proxy proxy war not as a rivalry, but just like a game he was looking forward to playing, like on Jackass how everyone's fucking with each other. Ozu tried to get Watashi's back when they worked for the librarian job, and even helped him find other jobs in those timelines. When Watashi left Jōgasaki's film circle, who followed him to sabotage those movies despite not having any reason to do so to a production he was a part of and left voluntarily?
Ozu was just a bro, and Watashi was too much a senssitive and jealous man that he saw him as a demon incarnate. In the last episode he starts acting the way he did to show Ozu he knew how to be guy friends.
>>152162497
Not an argument friendo.
>>152162545
something slated for spring not announced yet
>>152162419
Is it like the difference/similarity between Ever 17 and 999?
>>152162566
Now fuck off.
>>152162612
I'm not sure about those but I'm pretty sure that the movie is a straight up prequel to Tatami Galaxy.
>>152162545
There's this, an original film for family audiences to be announced this spring(?), and a TV show. It's rumoured (as in, 0 proof) that the show's a collaboration with Oshiyama of Flip Flappers fame. Yuasa's one of the hardest workers in the industry, fucking crazy.
>>152162618
>>152162612
I don't get the reference. Closer to like, Hobbit vs. LOTR. Different stories set in the same universe with some recurring characters.
>>152160344
>>152162741
>>152162693
ah ok
when I say 999 vs Ever 17, I meanits a similar twist but with different execution and plot
>>152162562
Yeah, that makes more sense. I think I'll have to rewatch now.
>>152162693
It's not.
>>152162765
kino
>>152162784
What was the twist of 999 again? All I remember is the fucking upside down sudoku puzzle
>>152160098
This is how you do an anime pretentiously.
>>152160468
Pretentious dogshit.
>>152162158
Is this tatami galaxy 2 or what ?
>>152162910Akane was Zero of the present nonary game. She set it up so that Junpei would go through a similar crisis in the boiler room and use Morphogenetic fields to help Akane get out of the boiler room herself and save her life.However the conceptual twist doesn't just end with the multiple timelines. The 2 screens on the DS represent the 2 perspectives of the player and Junpei. Junpei's perspective is the top screen, which exists all the cutscenes and dialogue. The bottom screen is Akane seeing Junpei through the morph fields, narrating and doing all the decision making in the puzzles and branching paths.
It's actually pretty good shit
>>152162910
The twist is the bad guy is hilariously bad. And the rest are just assholes because of they can. Damn, I hate that game. The pseudoscience shit makes everything worse.
>>152163019
Right? Too similar.
>>152163191
its called science fiction for a reason, man
>>152163019
It's an adaptation of a book by the same author and with the same cover artist which is why Yuasa went with the same style.
>>152163253
Plus recurring characters. I think it wouldn't make sense if they'd reinvented the art style.
>>152163291
It's a different story. They can just create a new character design. Frankly, using similar styles seems to be a marketing decision.
>>152163431
A different story, set in the same universe in the same place with many of the same characters.
>>152162158
What's it called?
>>152160468
It's verbose but engaging. And knowing my friends will warn them that it's not action driven show, more like about the interactions between the characters and coming of age.
>>152163431
They're using the style from the book's cover, just like they did with Tatami Galaxy. I don't see the problem with it
>>152163805
Yoru wa Mijikashi Arukeyo Otome

>Tickle occurrence Okami
This is what I get in google tr
>>152161608
the super-secret bike-stealing club
>>152164086
It means something along the lines of "The night is short, so walk girl"
>>152164206
ah. sounds neat
>>152164086
Then stop being a shitty EOP.
夜は短し、歩けよ乙女
(The Night is Short, Walk, Oh Maiden)
>>152162480
being stoic and not very outgoing doesn't make someone not have a personality. Akashi was very reserved and we didn't see her as often as other characters but she's definitely more than a "blank slate"
>>152164301
Is the book good?
>>152164491
Great fun.
Morimi's other book 太陽の塔 is great too.
