Is this the best Okada show?
>>152317507
Yes, and even then is sightly above meh.
>>152317507
Aquarion Evol
Miuna is the best character Okada has ever written.
>>152317507
I want to breed with fish
>>152317945
She really should have won.
>>152317945
Miuna is the best character.
>>152317945
>>152318061
>>152318097
I watched the show because of the Miuna threads
But Manaka turned out to be the cutest
>>152317507
Yeah, only because of Miuna though.
>>152317945
Blackheads never win when they go up against redheads.
PA Works best show so I guess it is Okada's too.
>>152317507
That'd be picrelated.
Okada was a mistake.
Yes but it isn't much of an accomplishment
>>152317638
/thread
>>152317507
I liked M3.
>>152317755
Either this or M3.
I liked NagiAsu, though.
>>152318158
>I watched the show because of the Miuna threads
I did too. It was an interesting journey too bad it didn't turn out something I wanted.
>>152318318
>>152318469
Mah niggas!
That's True Tears.
What is the worst Okada show?
>>152318158
Manaka is literally Menma with red hair
You're all objectively wrong
>>152318546
Mayoiga.
I want this new work of hers get TL so bad!
>>152318606
I forgot that was Okada.
>>152318610
Okada is such a fucking faggot
Why does she insert a dyke in almost everything she does
Mari 'Tearmaker' Okada.
>>152318546
I want to fuck Iona (Kuro).
>>152318728
I want Iona (Ulith) to step on me.
>>152318669
>>152318669
What defines a Mari Okadaâ„¢ Self-Insert?
>>152318872
Mahmu was the first time I began to think about her self-inserting stuff.
I love Mari Okada.
I wish she could just become better when it comes to execution.
>>152318669
Most of these plot elements were good the first time around.
Too bad Okada likes to use them over and over.
>>152318997
>>152318997
When certain character from her original works as series composer shares traits from her childhood and adolescence's persona. Examples: Hitoe, Mahmu, Hiromi-Noe, etc.
>>152318669
can some do the memenigga version of this'
Why does /a/ hate Anohana?
>>152319439
Can't since Mayoiga is the result of what Mizushima told Okada to write, for that reason that is not her work in the pure sense.
>>152317507
Literally SSY rip-off for children
>>152319305
>>152319177
>traits from her childhood and adolescence's persona
So sarcastic, cold, glasses, may or may not be a bisexual?
Friendly reminder Okada is now working on a live-action movie, manga and theater. So multifacetic lady.
>>152319500
damn didn't know that, but it still check almost all the boxes
>>152319502
>SSY
Oh boy, here we go again.
>>152319453
I don't hate anohana, but it's way more hyped than it deserves
>>152319540
How does sales poison like her get work
>>152318647
Maybe Okada experienced a love for someone who were of the same sex and the love went unrequited.
>>152319641
Kiznavier flopped that hard?
Holy shit
>>152319789
It's not so bad, it almost sold 1 frt. Or I guess it's known as 1 flp now
>>152319502
It's more or less a Shinsekai Yori Lite, but there are enough differences to avoid the ripoff label desu
>>152319502
>>152320097
Nice meme.
>>152319641
Because she is the biggest example about is not always about your skills, but your contact portfolio in the whole industry. Since she is known, she can get work anywhere. That's why I love her so much!
>>152318610
Same. I'm piqued.

Which one is the better opening, /a/?
>>152322344
Second one, no contest. I love the part when Miuna talks.
>>152322344
Usually I like the first op better, but the second one wins this time.
>>152318547
Best Okada shows are Simoun and Sketchbook Full Colors.
No. This is.
>>152322669
It's not Miuna, though it might as well be given the lyrics.
>>152323061
Are you sure?
>>152324186
My ears are more than positive, but if you don't believe me just check the credits on the single.
>>152323004
Both adaptations.
>>152318515
I'm watching it right now, it's a fucking korean dramawhich I'm enjoying
>>152317507
I only watched it because I had faith in PA Works after Uchouten Kazoku. I enjoyed it while it aired but I don't think I could rewatch it; not for the story.
>>152325721
The threads were fun.
>>152322344
Op 2, by far.
>>152326059
What happened to Kaname?
>>152322344
Both EDs are far better.
Okada a best!
>>152326355
I'm not sure anymore. At first I thought it was because he was still at the bottom of the sea, but Manaka is there so that makes no sense. Wish I could go back and check the context for that.
Incidentally, does anybody have the full version of pick related?
Love is dead?
>>152327172
Seems like there are few of these
>>152317507
You mean least shitty show
I LOVE MIUNA!!!!
>>152318669
What does anabasis mean here?
>>152329052
It means when you conquest your fear/problems/inner conflicts and grow as a person /character in your life.
>>152317507
Sayu will always be best girl.
Is this the Miuna Monday thread for the week?
>>152318593
this
>>152317945
I know Miuna is your waifu but Hikari was a far better character.
>>152329317
No, that died six hours ago.
>>152329317
Yes, love will live forever.
>>152318097Fatty
Best girl.
>>152331836
>I'm a strong wymen I don't need no man
>oh mister Kaname oooh please let me suck your dick
At least she's the most realistic girl.
>>152333124
She's just acting like an strong independend wymen, on the inside she always lusts for Kaname's dick.
>>152326355
Everyone forgot about his existence.
It was a common joke in the threads because of the difference between how Hikari and Kaname were treated.
I'm sad the "Kaname is psycho yandere" theory were not confirmed.
>>152334334
I felt pretty bad for making fun of that when he cried and said he thought nobody was waiting for him.
Made me want to hug him.
>>152323060
If she was responsible for Oscar and that subplot then I won't forgive her, it was great until that began and the owls
>>152334594
Don't feel bad, anon.
He got Sayu and Sayu would make him her heroine and protect his smile.
>>152335190

>>152335232
FUCKING CHISAKI YOU WHORE
>>152327172
I have only this one.
>>152318593
Agreed.
>>152335232
So, Kaname is /ourguy/?
>>152336538
what is this
>>152317507
Was this good? Was there lesbianism and SUFFERING?
>>152317755
That one was alright.
Miuna means beautiful sea
>>152317507
What about M3?
Anthem of the Heart is Okada's magnus opus. It's not for disagreement.
>>152336655
no since he has the tsundere loli craves for his sea dick.
Life is changing the oceans floor

No. This is.
Miuna is love, Miuna is life.

fuck this shit!
>>152342477
This is a fact.
>>152318443
>>152318469
I think M3 had minimal involvement from her.
It's like everytime she tried to write in some pointless drama the director put her in check.
>>152326355
Someone shopped him out.
>>152343178
>I think M3 had minimal involvement from her.
I'm not sure. I've been listening a lot of things from both sides. I'm going with the fact Mari Okada is the original creator and she had some degree of freedom to put what she wanted. The way she deals with understanding was simply magnificent. I fucking wish she could deliver good shit more often.
>tfw wixoss made more okadafag and okadahaters
>>152317507
Probably AnoHana
Bed very soon, stay up a little longer Miuna.
Now bed.
Goodnight Miuna. My smile is stronger than ever, thanks for protecting it so well.
>There will never be a 2nd season of NagiAsu
Why even live?
>>152317945
Not even the best written character in her own show.
>>152317507
Apparently she's taking some part in that new Zelda game.
>>152326059
Now that you remind me. Does anyone have that edit of him falling off the boat and drowning under the pillar? It was my favorite edit that I stupidly didn't save.
Best scene, its not often you get this kind of treatment for a character like kaname.Usually they are just tossed aside like those bro characters in harem or romance.
So I've heard she's gonna screenplay some live action movie. A mystery novel even. What's its all about?
>>152345855
What the hell, source?
>>152317507
Yes
I still have so much shit from these threads saved
>>152347566
I wish I had saved more.
Chisaki best girl
>>152348726
How can you say that when you haven't even fapped to this scene today?
>>152348944
She had a great body but her attitude was very off putting. She always had this desperation vibe.
>>152345995
Anyone got a webm with sound for this?

>>152326059
I had completely forgotten about the land dweller.
>>152317507
Not even remotely close, characters are literally Mayoiga-tier, but way less funny
Good morning Miuna.
As someone who studies literature at the graduate level academically, it always surprises me when people who dislike Urobuchi start criticizing his writing. The fact of the matter is that, from a technical point of view, he is a very skilled writer. It's rare in anime that someone is so good at both writing compelling plots and making believable, interesting characters. All of Urobuchi's stories have both of these, as well as extremely well-written, interesting dialogue.
There are parts of Fate/Zero that actually remind me of Shakespeare. Of course I don't mean this in a qualitative way, but just in a structural sense of the way that he creates characters and writes them.
The only really shitty thing about Urobuchi is that he's very lazy. He needs to stop letting other people finish the stories that he starts. Aldnoah.Zero and Psycho-pass, arguably even Madoka Magica, are all incomplete and he's putting his faith in people who lack his sophistication and skill to realize the rest of his original vision.
Aside from this though, considering writing quality is typically the worst thing about anime, it's surprising that /a/ is so eager to denounce the few examples of competent writers that there are. Urobuchi, Nisio and Okada are good examples of writers that are frequently slandered on /a/ by people who are trying to seem smart by having hard, contrary opinions, but who just end up sounding like idiots, at least to me, and I'm sure to anyone else who actually knows a thing or two about "good writing."
>A drama or literary work in which the main character is brought to ruin or suffers extreme sorrow, especially as a consequence of a tragic flaw, moral weakness, or inability to cope with unfavorable circumstances.
>>152353432
ah yes i love miuna too

Yes!

Agreed.
>>152342477
Finally a correct answer.
Okada would be good if she didn't force love triangles into everything.
Sometimes Okada makes best secondary characters than the main cast.
I really wanted WIXOSS to have some characters fro M3.
>>152318669
You forgot to add Bestiality.
>>152318669
someone get a miuna in there
>>152357953
But miuna is there.
>>152357935
EVOL is mostly Kawamori rather than Okada and is not her original.
>>152357992
She was a co-writer and had a lot of free reign during EVOL, it counts.
>>152358036
But it's an already stablished franchise. In the bingo, you can see almost everything is original and new except for gundam.
>>152358088
She also worked in Sousei, too.
>>152358297
What?
save Sayu pleasse
>>152359250
Is this all concept art? Some of those could be classmates, you know before the school went under.

>>152359779
Is there another show where the MC's development is evident and satisfying as this? in these 3 years I haven't seen anything that similar.
Natsuki Hanae and Mikako Komatsu showing up everywhere now
>>152317507
Too many best girls and too many pairings.
>>152359880
Hanae is really popular lately, but I haven't heard about Komatsu since Aldonoah. Maybe I'm just not watching enough shows.
>>152359928
>Komatsu
Voicing best girls ever since.
the Nagi no Asukara LIME stuff is cute
>>152359843
Yuuko from Sound! Euphonium
I liked toradora, anohana, gosickand sakurasoumore than this.
>>152359928

I fucking wish. I had a dream about a sequel about Nagi no Asukara and it was fucking glorious.;_;
>>152320440
You mean her loose pussy.

She makes people contact with each other.

I seem to be the only one who prefers OP 1 then.
I just want another Okada x P.A. Works.
>>152361574
Fuck off. This thread is for actual discussion, not your circlejerk.
So, what is your favorite secondary character from a Mari Okada series?
Sequel fucking when!?
>>152362705
I like both, but the second opening blows the first one out of the water desu.
I am rewatching the series because of this thread and some aspects of the first cour are really good, like Hikari's family and the conflict between the water and the land people, a shame it's not very popular.
>>152367297
>I am rewatching the series because of this thread and some aspects of the first cour are really good, like Hikari's family and the conflict between the water and the land people, a shame it's not very popular.
That was very good, too bad it got in a second term because the love story was the first.
>>152367297
I want to rewatch M3.
Miuna was a mistake.
