/digi/ - 2000s Anime & Manga

I liked Aria: the animation a lot.
It really embodies the 2000s style of animation.

Binchou-tan is a really cute iyashikei anime from the 00s with short episodes, I have rewatched it many times. I downloaded the raws of the manga from Perfect Dark a long time ago but it doesn't have furigana so I couldn't read the moonrunes.

Aria and YKK are two of my favorite series

I really like Sketchbook ~full color's~, it's a really kind anime.

I ended up picking this up because of your post. I can't believe I put off watching this for so long; what a soothing anime. It's fun to hear a very young Hana Kanazawa too.

Even when I was a kid I had superb taste so if I rewatch something, I usually enjoy it as much.
The other day I said I should rewatch something I DIDN'T enjoy all that much and set up FLCL again and actually enjoyed it a hella of a lot more than I did the first time I watched it.

The good parts were still there but the old cliché tropes were worse than what I remembered.

I was surprised to hear anime used the same song "Secret Base (Kimi ga Kureta Mono)" from anohana.

That's nice.
I also recently rewatched FLCL after not having seen it for the better part of a decade or so, and I would say I appreciate it even more now too (though I've always enjoyed it).
I took the opportunity to watch it with the director's commentary track as well which I'd recommend. Lots of fun information to be gathered from it even if you consider yourself pretty familiar with the anime already.

something similar happened to me. i watched FLCL in 9th grade and i did enjoy it for it's insanity more than anything, then i rewatched it a couple of years later and i enjoyed the story,characters,look,music so much more. I've been meaning to rewatch monogatari this year but i haven't started yet

I have. To be fair, I love it for the art (as expected from Shaft), but not so much for everything else. While the humour in it is amusing at times, more often than not it can be difficult to understand for a non-Japanese, due to it's parodying of Japanese society. Moreover, it gets rather repetetive, especially that the anime spans three seasons. It's just not for me, although I can see why others may enjoy it.

Congratulations. When are you transitioning? And when is the funeral?

Sweet, will hopefully join if I have some time today.

>As I said, it WAS slow, but the cast of characters kept me going.
Yep, it's a slow burn but very worth it. I was surprised I was able to keep up with it despite not being a fan of longer shows, I'm guessing the dub helped in some regard.

>I thought Johan's motivation was that of causing chaos wherever he went, but it all made sense once it was explained he was erasing his existence.
Yeah, as I said in my other post I originally thought it was about another Hitler but I after that I thought that it was just that Johan was a force of chaos and Tenma noticed this and since he saved him he decided it was up to him to stop him, which Johan gladly accepted since if Tenma doesn't stop him he'd continue doing this. It wasn't until I read up on it that I actually understood the ending, my own stupidity at seeing the bigger picture I guess.

>I was a little under that impression as well but with all the parallels of Johan being the Antichrist I expected someone wanting to use him to kill people indiscriminately
For me, it was the scenes I saw, the neonazis and the whole German/East European feeling it had.

If you're okay with watching some videos on Monster, I remember finding these in 2020 and was a fun distraction for a while to watch. If not, that's cool thought I'd share regardless:

Watched it a couple of years ago and it's one of my favorites.
It does feel slow but it all pays off.
Lunge is a masterful character, there was always something alluring about him, this computer of a man that dedicates himself completely to his cause.
The ost is incredible, the op and the eds add to the theme of the story and set the mood for each episode.
Its been a while since ive watched it and i hope i will get to rewatch it soon.

I didn't know the novel existed, have you read it? would you say it's worth reading ?

>>80
Sorry anon, I haven't read the novel. I just know of it from an article I read that pretty much broke the whole thing down so I know what happened.

Johan Liebert is my waifu.

I remember finding out that the last season of You're Under Arrest had both a 4:3 and 16:9 version which was pretty cool to see side by side, could try that even if it's not exactly what you're after it might scratch the same itch. It's not that great though.
