Good catch, anon, I'll give you a Kanna Snack™.

The girl who was cucked to death.

Was it something I said?

I quite liked this show despite being super cheap. Really wish we got more post-war anime, or older but not ancient anime stories in general.

>>279922103
It really is something of a forgotten period. There's plenty of anime set in the Meiji and Taisho eras, and plenty in the 70s and later, but the 50s and 60s seem to be memory holed for the most part.

>>279922103
mostly its not outside of public consciousness enough to warrant more stories in it unless they're western shit.

They call it the Stairway to Heaven because it leads to Atsuko.

>>279922480
So we'll get more stories of those eras when the people who lived in them are all dead? Not sure how to feel about that.

>>279922803
like.... they have to be respectable to characters in that era because they resemble still living people, i guess? they're all treated fairly seriously.

>>279922803
I think there are two main factors that determine which eras get written about.
Any era one generation beyond living memory has a certain mystique because it feels recent enough to be real, but distant enough to romanticize without readers calling your bluff. Currently, that's the Meiji and Taisho eras.
Any era within living memory that writers and readers are nostalgic for can be romanticized because both parties agree on what they want to get out of the fictional portrayal even if they know it wasn't like that in reality.
The post-war period probably occupies an awkward spot inbetween where no one who lived through it remembers it fondly and no one who didn't live through it wishes they did.

Atsuko will become this in a few years.

>no one who lived through it remembers it fondly
Learning that Tomino was born in 1941 made it a hell of a lot easier to understand Gundam.

Omedetou!

This is definitely the show that went under the radar. I literally hadn't heard about it until today.

>>279923898
There have been threads when an episode airs but they usually don't last too long. It seems like only a handful of anons have been watching it.

The harem ending was a bit unexpected, but I'd say our girl earned it.

Kusakabe-kun... You can't just do a title drop in someone else's show.

>>279923070
It's understandable because even some fiction that includes that time period carefully treads through the worst of it as a thing that happened. Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju comes to mind for that because the war was mentioned, but was almost treated as a sort of timeskip due to being predominantly from Kikuhiko/Yakumo's point of view where his childhood injury exempted him from being on the frontlines in addition to Hatsutaro/Sukeroku's storytelling style being more appropriate for boosting morale.

A lot of the mysteries in this were rooted in a lot of issues that were seen at the time, and was kind of reminded of Hell Girl at the start because of that. But it also had a lighthearted approach which isn't always seen, so it felt like a nice breath of fresh air.

>>279924838
I was kind of impressed with how openly Mouryou no Hako addressed the cultural fallout of Nanking and heavily implied that Kiba suffered from war-induced PTSD.
Usually, when an anime addresses the experience of WWII directly, it takes place during the war itself, and it's often told from a civilian perspective or the passively dissident viewpoint of a soldier who didn't buy into the propaganda but didn't dare to openly question it.

I liked it as a casual show as a warm up for stuff that can be a drag to watch (Sumpock) on Mondays. Ive also started Goblin box but at two episodes in Im unsure but will try and power through.

>>279926800
thanks to the subs this was actually the last show I watched on mondays

>>279926894
I usually try and order how I watch shows based on how they are to watch. sometimes you cant be fucked to watch something but not to the point of it being worth delaying to another day. so I either watch it first to get it out the way or leave it to last so that Ive enjoyed watching other stuff first. If Im fully in the mood to watch stuff Ill watch stuff as it comes out as the gap between subs coming out gives me chances to do other stuff.
