Part of me wants to try living by Haibane rules to see what it does to you. I can't exactly work for free and not handle money and the walls rule doesn't apply so maybe its a bit of a pointless exercise? There are abandoned buildings nearby and I can go to thrift stores for clothes, but obviously the walls thing doesn't apply and there's no way I can just work for free and not handle any money so maybe its a pointless exercise?
Haibane Renmei rules
I've been thinking about the rules the Haibane are supposed to live by. What do all these rules share? They are all things you either must do or are not supposed to do with your body. We generally don't think about our bodies that much but its pretty clear that even simple ways of sitting, standing, and walking are learned and become a habit to the point we don't even think about them. Many societies have developed sophisticated techniques of the body e.g. yoga, Taoist sex practices, Buddhist vinaya or even mundane things like boxing, wrestling etc. but for us this has become a faded concept, besides sport. We're generally told that (as long as we don't break the law) it doesn't matter what we do with our bodies, we can be good people despite how we dress, eat, who we sleep with. Techniques of the body aren't aimless. They are meant to achieve something e.g. escape from the cycle of rebirth or becoming a champion athlete. I wonder what the purpose is for the Haibane? It can't just be the day of flight. I guess its also an attitude to life? An emotional state?Part of me wants to try living by Haibane rules to see what it does to you.

Im trying to find complete raw in any video format of the original broadcast version of the Hellsing TV anime. If you are not familiar with what that is the show originally had many scenes redone for what i guess was more "consistentcy" after it aired and for home release. This isnt about what is better just interested in something complete to watch.
I found a few random episodes here and there but not the whole show complete or unsubbed/dubbed.
Obviously some sub groups back in the day had them for their uploads but those groups are all dead and gone, nyaa doesnt seem to have it and all the resources i use to look for older stuff has dried up.

What do you think? Is Komi good social anxiety representation or just more moe disability fodder? Is the comedy too over the top or perfectly outgoing? Is Yamai too annoying or a great antagonistic force? Are the characters fun and personable or too quirky? Is the love plot balanced or too cliche? Do you even know Komi?
Komi Can't Communicate
Finally caved in to modern anime, eh? I guess I'll contribute something here, my beloved Komi. I could go on endlessly about this series. The core premise is simple - Komi can't communicate, so Tadano helps her communicate, which is harder than it sounds with the likes of Itan High students. There are many short side plots, but most of the series is focused around this premise in some way or another. The series can really do a lot with it. I like the way it can take tropes and turn them into meaningful characters, with interesting personalities that can bounce off of all of the other kooky characters. The comedy in this series is funny but not obtrusive to the story at large. Komi and Tadano have what feels like such a real, though definitely romanticized, relationship. It's kind of a shame that there have been more and more meta elements added to the series, as the fact that it can be so grounded in such a fantastical world is what drew me to the series in the first place, but it's still been great up to the fifteenth volume. It feels odd to say, but the series feels very real for a series about a bunch of nutcases. There's no weird loser-princess gap bridging, no magic or science or anything, just a guy trying to help a girl make friends in a school of weirdos. I have never seen the anime, so I don't know how that is.What do you think? Is Komi good social anxiety representation or just more moe disability fodder?

Azumanga Daoih & Nichijou
Or, Kiyohiko Azuma & Keiichi Arawi - mangakas who the best SoL/CGDCT stories. Unlike a lot of modern, seasonal anime - these two shows are timeless and can be enjoyed by anyone, anywhere. I've tried to watch other SoL anime, some I've enjoyed momentarily, while others I completely forgot I had watched after a while. But there's something very special about Azumanga and Nichijou that have stayed with me. I think it's the relatability of the characters, the comfortable, comedic nature of the shows, as well as the "cuteness" of it all. What I've found most important is that the girls in both shows feel real - they're not written as tropes with flat personalities. I'd love to know if anyone else has similar thoughts or has some good CGDCT/SoL shows that have gone unnoticed.
