tokenainamae yuragi tokyo shoegazer pasteboard the first album of kinoto teikoku

Here are some selected artists, and my fav tracks/works from them. Lemon's Chair - I Hate? I Hope?

I typically listen to this album all the way through Tokyo Shoegazer - Awake

Most of there stuff isn't very mellow, but this track has a nice rhythm Niz - Stone EP

I listen to the whole EP at once, each time Cruyff in the Bedroom

Now getting into the vocaloid shoegaze, I listened to a lot of it on my Japan trip. I floated around the train station Hon-Astugi in Kanagawa for a month like burnt out loner with no ambition to do touristy stuff, and no ability to communicate with the locals. I'd sleep until 2pm, and get a few hours of sunshine whether than was through restaurant windows; taking the train to literal nowhere (e.g. Isehara station) and walk out in a random direction; or walking around Ebina's large mall plazas. The "suburbs/sprawl" is so beautiful and pure there, it's incredible. I always stumbles across 1,000+ year old ruins. re;mo - nanairo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWXBphssE80&list=PL92IuJUz0uMNRSsdP32Z1KtdGNwpxCs6J wintermute https://www.youtube.com/@likeadaydream/videos

>>1111 Wow! Four same numbers Yukari must be very lucky.

Yukari... I imagine cuddling with her while she pats my head calling me a good boy...

Hikarins do you know any manga that's super cute? I need a rainstorm of cuteness with nothing to distract me from it. Like that anthology comic

>>599 Yukari, when properly fed and watered, will put when cuddled

>>1378 tomoko my beloved watamote is one of those mangas that kinda changed my life, somehow i guess.

watamote harem arc isnt real, I refuse to acknowledge the existence of femcel harem

I personally didn't like WataMote, mostly because of it's humor. I felt embarrassed af when she lied about things then it was revealed to others that she lied. I didn't find it funny at all, just embarrassing. But yeah she was really relatable otherwise.

>>249 I used to dream of a lover like Tomoko and thought I'd just kms without her, now Tomoko is a dyke and I'm convinced I'll have to live out my lifespan. Tomoko is best when she is a greasy gremlin

>>1805 She looks like a goblin

Man. I thought the links to the torrent would work but what can you expect from an abandoned site.

>>1797 >>1798 >>1799 wait, maybe they could be in a private tracker? not in any myself. good luck! nyaa is the closest i could find... maybe there're raws with better quality? idk

>>1795 If you give me a little bit, later today I can use Jacket to find virtually every torrent of it to find a hq rip

>>1795 after using Jackett, the best i could find was the 44.8 GB DVDrip of the series. Unfortunately that may be the best you can find without private trackers or restoration projects as a Blu Ray release/anything official is probably never going to happen

>>1799 Hey Kujify, I've ended up taking the HD rip with chinese subtitles and adding English subs from an old and defunct translation group (Kiteseekers). Lmk if you'd like me to forward you the series in as high quality as you can get

I liked the shimeji simulation anime but nobody seem to have seen it

>>1763 This looks like my favorite anime, Solo Leveling. Did this rip it off?

I I was a big fan of The Faraway Paladin (Saihate no Paladin) but it doesn't seem like many other people watched it. It's not a perfect anime by any means but I really liked the purehearted take on the genre. I'm reading the manga too.

i love the ending song its comfy

Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water, made by Hideaki Anno a few years before NGE became a thing. Shares many similarities with it

>>1786 https://archive.org/details/maison-ikkoku-ost hikarin could this be it?

>>1787 yeahh, thats right!! this ost belong to anime Maison Ikkoku, right? i never heard about that anime.. btw THANK YOU, much love hikarin

>>1788 The manga Maison Ikkoku is from the same author that wrote Inuyasha, Urusei Yatsura and Ranma ½, which you might know

I like German dubs, it sounds like another anime language to my hears.

Death note

Ah my Goddess has has a better dub desu. I watched it as a kid on YouTube dubbed so I'm biased... Not an anime, but the Neptunia series' dub is way better than the original Japanese. In the original they all sound the same sorry

I prefer watching Hetalia in the dub because the voice actors in the english dub have different accents depending on the country they voice act, and i think that’s hilarious.

Azumanga Daioh & Lucky Star as sometimes I think it kinda fits better but I like both languages and just flip flop between the two

>>455 Animes with scenes that are meant to make you cry have never made me even slightly sad (except for Grave of the Fireflies, that one's pretty depressing), but watching certain loner anime characters or simply characters that at some point find themselves isolated because of rejection has teared me up a couple of times since they were relatable to me, even if none of the scenes were intentionally sad. I mentioned Grave of the Fireflies before even clicking in the spoilered OP, I think it might be the saddest piece of fictional media ever produced in human history.

Honestly, I never really cry watching anime when it's "sad". It's more so when they reach triumphant goals after trying their best that gets me. Especially so if it's something romance related (picrel). That and anything to do with motherhood, like in Doremi... But you don't see that much which is unfortunate! >>1754 >but watching certain loner anime characters... that at some point find themselves isolated because of rejection has teared me up a couple of times Could you recommend a couple of these? I'm interested

>>1756 I can't remember one in particular since most of these are just small scenes and the main characters never stayed on that situation for too much. I do recall that the Komi-san manga made me pretty sad when I used to read it years ago, I didn't give the anime adaptation a chance since the VA didn't resonate with me so I don't know if the anime can capture what the manga did for me. There's also Oyasumi Punpun but this one and the other are both popular so you've probably know about them already. Making this post has reminded me that I should read the Komi-san manga again to see where it's at

The first and only anime that ever made me cry is Haibane Renmei

Gunbuster's last episode made me tear up but not crying... ah however the manga Kaze to Ki no Uta destroyed me in all sorts of ways mostly throughout the whole thing...
