Behind all that CGDCT stuff it shows Japan's demographic and even economic disaster in a village that used to have more people before the economic bubble that burst in 1989!

>>156510912
This. It shows five students of different ages going to a broken down school with only one classroom and teacher. They live in a town with a population of less than 40. It's post apocalyptic done right without being edgy.

>>156510798

>post apocalyptic
It's true that NNB kind of fits into "Slice of Decay", but let's not get carried away there.

>>156514911
It was a great three episode series.

>>156511713
You probably should, if you can leave your hatred of 3DCG at the door and give the show a genuine chance to grow on you almost everyone I have seen do this has found it a rewarding experience that has surprised them greatly in just how good it is.

>>156511713
YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME NOW

>>156515129
I think it's possible to construct a "mood" category which would include haibane and NNB, and a "structure" category which strictly enforces being post-apolocalyptic. Even then Kino no Tabi is hard to decide on.

Having similar mood feels like the more natural category.

>>156514911
It might not be strictly SoL but it gives the same vibes and has a similar setting, so I'd say yes.

I wish there was a more defined genre of fiction with this setting because I really love it and it's hard to explain to people. The whole post-apocalyptic melancholy vibe where things are sort of fine even though they shouldn't be is absolutely amazing, especially paired with a semi-fantasy setting.

Something else that kind of fits the description is the Illusionary World scenes from Clannad.

>>156515468
>"mood" category which would include haibane and NNB
How?

>>156517362
"These feel like (part of) a run-down world. Things are visibly old, decrepit, falling apart. But the people seem quite optimistic, or at least not miserable." That's the core idea anyway.

>>156518553
What do you mean with NNB because if we talk about the same thing I don't really see how it fits that describiton.

It's an adventure oriented show, but Future Boy Conan's post apocalyptic setting is very calm, almost on the verge of tranquil. It's just Fucking Businessmen that ruin everything.

Pretty sure Haibane was the first anime of this ilk. Cutesy moments subverted by the grimdarkess lurking in the shadows, and even though everything seems happy and comfy enough you can't really shake off this feeling of unease.

>>156527048
There was basically nothing grimdark about Haibane, you are probably just misinterpreting the purgatory vibes.

what

>>156528992
Did you know there's this thing called the internet? And on the internet there's this thing called google? And if you type a word you don't understand into it, it will tell you what that word means? You should get it a try sometime, instead of acting like some poor boo-hoo victim whose ignorance over basic terminology means we're somehow obligated to hold your hand and explain things to you.

>>156529125
Google can't tell me what YOU use a word to mean, anon. We can't understand why we disagree if we can't explain what we each mean by a term.

>>156529227
I use the word to mean the same thing everyone with a basic grasp of the English language uses it to mean. You seem to be the only one who has trouble understanding such a very simple term.

>>156529227
I do not know why you are even trying to discuss anything with that anon, it is clear he does not understand.

>>156529289
Why are you avoiding giving a definition this much, anon? Do you have something to loose?

>>156529227
You know you're digging yourself in deeper each time you get mad about not knowing what that word means, right? Why do you keep doubling down on yourself like this?

>>156529325
I think he's a linguistic prescriptivist. I want to get him to admit it so I can laugh at him.

>>156529338
>Why are you avoiding giving a definition this much, anon?
Because you asked a question that's too stupid to be worthy of a serious answer. It's like asking "What's the difference between tragedy and comedy?" Either you know, or you have an IQ of 50. There's no need to explain what "grimdark" means any more than there's a need to explain grass is green, and doing so is just humoring a willful retard.

>>156529498
I'm not even the anon you were originally replying to.

>>156527860
Nah, nothing grimdark about Haibane at all. From Reki's nihilistic/fatalistic personality surfacing along with Rakka's loss of innocence to the setting reeking of hypocritical stoicism that traded knowledge for "happiness".

The same hollow happiness that feels undeserved for people filled with guilt and poisoned by emptiness even though they supposedly have everything to be "happy".

way to kill an interesting thread

>>156529325
>>156529396
But more importantly, look at it like this. Anon says Haibane Renmei has a grimdark background tone (I'd mostly disagree with that, but whatever). Other anon says it's not grimdark at all. I give an example of a point where it's pretty fucking grimdark! Anon says "nuh uh, that doesn't count."

Suppose instead of asking for the definition, I gave another example (kind of tricky since I already used the best one, but imagine for now). Anon says AGAIN "no! not what grimdark means! you must be stupid!" The goalposts can continue moving forever.

>>156529498
There's no need to explain what google says grimdark means. But I don't want to know what google says, I want to know what you mean when you say "that doesn't count as grimdark." If you weren't allowed to say "grimdark" or "edgy" or any simple synonyms, what would the sentence look like? What would you say instead? Then we can actually address the question rather than just playing the "you're stupid for not already agreeing with me" game.

If what you'd mean is EXACTLY what google says, why don't you like the example? It is, in fact, excessively violent and unpleasant.

>>156529498
"Edge" isn't a solidly defined word though. Everyone uses it differently. It's pretty much a synonym for "thing I don't like". I wouldn't say any of the works mentioned in the thread are edgy at all. Anon was clearly asking how you define the word but you keep avoiding the question. You're making this conversation essentially really childish.

>>156529662
>>156529546
Normally you'd use term "grimdark" to describe something else than a series with just overall melancholic feeling. No one would have any beef with you if you said series like Berserk is "grimdark" but goddamn Haibane Renmei?

>"Edge" isn't a solidly defined word though. Everyone uses it differently. It's pretty much a synonym for "thing I don't like".
1. We aren't talking about the word "edge", we're talking about the word "grimdark"
2. But that's wrong, it very clearly has a meaning, and inappropriately using it to just mean "thing I don't like" is just ignorant and betrays a lack of ability to properly interpret a work or express yourself about it

>>156529902
>We're talking about the word "grimdark"
My mistake, brain short circuited apparently.
>it very clearly has a meaning
Even the thread cannot reach a consensus on what it means. Why won't you just define it so that you wouldn't come off as just an asshat avoiding the discussion? I really cannot understand something this simple.

>>156530058
>Even the thread cannot reach a consensus on what it means
The thread does not need to reach a consensus, the word has a meaning regardless of whether one person chooses to willfully ignore it.

>anything remotely unpleasant is grimdark
You've honestly got me at a loss, I'm not sure how to argue with such idiocy. I mean I'd really have to break things down and explain them to you on the level of a child if that's the argument you're going with.

There is nothing invisible about the definition, it is a word known to many and thirty seconds on the internet is all it takes to enlighten yourself. You're basically trying to act like you're the victim of some kind of vicious elitism when it's only your own fault you outright refuse to accept that you used a word without knowing its meaning and ended up throwing a fit over it instead of just educating yourself.

It's post apocalyptic, but I wouldn't call it comfy/SoL. You barely do anything related to everyday life, and heavily focus on the current war effort.
Although I have yet to finish my game as 9S and then play as A2, so I'm not sure if that changes anything.

Final Fantasy: Brotherhood / Final Fantasy XV does this somewhat, though you'll want to actually play the game alongside watching the anime for the full experience. Game is more /comfy/ than the anime and has the more comfy catastrophe element (though it's still pretty intense at times, becomes less comfy and more outright depressing as the game goes on.)

Still, felt like it was worth mentioning.=, if you're looking for a vidya game that's like an anime and has an actual anime that has SOME elements of slice of decay.

The comfy catastrophe parts are the first ~10 chapters. After that it's more your generic save-the-world plot, with the exception of a few scenes in the final chapter. And the end credits.

>>156546499
I always found the contrast between Insomnia and the country side extremely jarring.

And adding to your comment, I think the anime is a must watch to understand scenes that otherwise would be weird (like Prompto getting depressed at the hotel or Iris being in love with Noctis). Movie, on the other hand, was okay and flashy but absolutely optional.

Not entirely related. Wanted to make a thread about this but I don't think my autism warrants one.
Vanilla 'comfy' sol is always either a neutered gag show, flaccid drama, lame romance, or moeblob series where the characters have been aged physically but not mentally. I'm talking about stuff like Sakura Quest, Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon, Udon no Kuni no Kiniro Kemari, Amanchu!, Flying Witch etc. etc. etc. every season has at least one.
If people just want to relax/escape from stress or whatever why not watch an actual gag anime? Do they have no sense of humor? Can anyone explain?
Sorry.

>>156536630
I like the sense of finality and acceptance. That the age of striving and struggling is over and all that's left is a slow dignified decent into twilight. To me what makes it compelling is the contrast of such a huge event as the end of our world being told by focusing on just a handful of people and their most minor exploits. It's thematically satisfying, it feels as if I'm getting a private peak at the end of our story, something I of course will never live to witness. So there's a real sense of coming full circle, which for whatever reason I find very satisfying.

I love this genre, but one thing bothers me in YKK. Even if there was some huge disaster that remove a large mass of the population, humanity wouldn't just gradually decline and die out after, even in Japan with it's fucked birthrate, it would still thrive in small cities etc.

That thought is always at the back of my mind when reading which just makes it a little harder to believe, still my all time favourite manga though.

Also thanks to this thread I now have another handful of things to add to my backlog.

>>156565018
SSY isn't "comfy with dark moments." It's "very thin and not at all believable veil of normality over deep pit of suffering." The principal emotion when watching it is dread over what awful thing will be revealed next, or will happen next.

>>156568477
Since YYK has functioning sapient robots, it's likely they also have some sort of other automation that took care of peoples needs and allowed people to decentralize or something before whatever happened happened.

Also it's entirely possible that the disaster caused some sort of infertility or something.

It airs at midnight because that was the only timeslot that they could secure. After the first three episodes garnered quite a positive response, the head of Toho was already tweeting about getting it re-aired earlier in the day.

The fact of the matter is its existence was prompted by Netflix, they have to turn in episodes far earlier than they usually would because of Netflix, and because Netflix is its primary home, timeslot does no sway in terms of determining who its audience is.

Nigger what the fuck are you doing on /a/ if you haven't seen half the shit that was mentioned here and not having the other half on your backlog already?

Any clue where I can get the raws for this? The nyaa torrent seems pretty dead.

>>156590691
I have actually read many of these, and recognize a lot of names that are already on my backlog, but I just want to make sure. I'm certain everyone here has a few of these neither seen nor backlogged.

Wall -E

>>156593100
Was this the movie with fat as fuck people in the future or something? How's that comfy?

>>156593214
Wall-E was about a cleaner robot after Earth was abandoned for being too dirty.

>>156593214
Watch the first half.

I never got this series. Why was it so shitty? Why did they think it was a good idea to release it as a disconnected multimedia franchise?

Shinkai worst movie is pretty comfy as well.

I made an account once many years ago, wish I remembered the login information.
Oh well, found the raws on perfect dark anyway. Not everything is downloading but the rest will probably be seeded some time.

Thank you for this thread anons, many notes were taken.

Would Somali to Mori no Kami-sama count? It does take place after humanity has fallen to the wayside. And it is pretty comfy.

That's a setting, not a genre. SnW and YKK have a similar setting and aesthetic, but they're totally different shows thematically.

I'm also surprised Turn A Gundam hasn't been mentioned yet. "Post-apocalyptic 19th century America + Syd Mead's moon robots" is the best aesthetic in anime.

I'm on chapter 19 currently. Plese tell me something will happen.
This series has HIGH rating, so there's no way the plot is all about comfy living only.

It's fucking not.
Igarashi Daisuke is a god, nothing can top his god-tier art and beautiful storytelling.

>>156595452
Yes, that is what I said. Shinkai worst movie.
Very nice background but absolutely terrible movie.

>>156595616
Oh, I thought that pic was from Beyound the Clouds (or something) because that movie is about post war/catastrope.
Yeah. Kodomo is Shinkai worst movie

>>156568477
I had the theory that whatever happened was atomic/nuclear based, and that it had repercutions on health, like radiation not allowing babies to come out normal, so people decided not to have kids anymore and accepted the slow and painfull fade of humanity.

Although we do see Maki and Takihiro having a kid, they lived somewhat far away from the cities, where radiation might be lower.

>>156595067
>Plese tell me something will happen
The things that "happen" are really subtle, character development is slow but very organic. Things will happen, but they will take a while, don't get desperate and soak up in the atmosphere that the developing phase is setting up.

Interesring thread, always liked this sort of setting of constant unease pared with optimism, cheerfulness, friendship and teamwork, havent seen many mention Gakkou Gurashi but it usually plays out more like suspense then SoL very clearly split from each other, but I really liked the few parts that felt like what is describe here, Ill definetly check out many of the mentioned manga here.

This reminds me, I always wanted to watch something like this

>post apocalypse world
>overgrown plants and wild animals inside the cities
>story follows the life of a young family, one man, his wife, and their daughter
>dad carriles a rifle/shotgun with him to hunt with
>mom cares for child
>both work to give her a happy childhood even if civilization is gone
>no tragedies happen, the three just live together as a happy family in a broken world

It's the definitive "comfy" manga. Listen to the anime OST and pace it slowly instead of rushing.
