This anime destroyed me. Left me absolutely emotionally devastated. Only other thing that ever came close was the suicide pact episode of Paranoia Agent/Shonen Bat.

Where do I even go from here? What is there to do after this? It's been 2 weeks and I still think of it constantly.

Do their wings twitch when they orgasm?

Just discovered Takopi and watching first episode it's such a flop for me. It handles the themes of suicide in a much more hamfisted and stupid manner. I can't tell if it's meant to be dark humor but I hope so because it's freaking comical. Why does modern anime lack nuance?

Polite bump

They dont make em like they used to

The Abe/Ueda/sometimes Konaka combo was unstoppable back then

>>280141711 (OP)
I liked the tone and color palette of this, but I also almost fell asleep while watching it

>>280142488
I watched the entire thing in a single night actually. Nearly cried at the end.

>>280142488
Yeah it can bring you to almost falling asleep, but I actually liked that about it. I loved the sort of subdued and muted tones, sound design, and outro music. The entire time I felt myself falling deeper into an almost trancelike state similar to watching serial experiments lain. I honestly think an anime like this is best watched late at night/early in the morning when you're already tired and almost drifting off. It fits with the surreal and melancholic atmosphere. Definitely became instantly one of my favorites of all time. Idk what to even watch now, I doubt I'll find anything else that can live up to it.

>>280142487
Konaka is japanese David Lynch and I'm tired of pretending otherwise.

read houseki no kuni, I am still emotionally scarred from it

>>280141711 (OP)
next you watch NEIA_7

The writer only really wrote >>280142678 besides Haibane Renmei.
Same director too between them. But it's like the training wheels show for both of them.

>>280142678
Watched first episode. It's peak comfy

>>280141711 (OP)
This was my reaction after I finished watching the final episode.

>>280141711 (OP)
The well scene and when Reki got her true name meaning actually hit me. I didn't expect to get shed a tear on an anime like this

>>280144584
Hello Brick

>>280144584
this shit was so lame, haibane is great

>>280144584
Red pill it to me

>>280144811
Unfortunately, I can't tell you what makes Sora no Woto so good. You have to see it for yourself.

>>280144584
Does it have the symbolism though

>>280144994
That's fair. I've been interested in that anyways ever since the yearly rewatch thread

Teenage pseudcore.
>>280144584
First intelligent anon ITT.

>>280144994
That's the definition of pseud. If you don't know what makes it good, then what makes you able to know that it is better than haibane

>>280141711 (OP)
my favorite anime of all times, i first saw it in late 2017 when i was a lot younger

>>280145869
I may not know what's good, but at least I know my Matrix quotes.

>>280144811
It's halfway to disneyfied slop. Glitter glazed with kiyoani moe. Sanitized, the kind of thing Tolkien criticized disney for, is what it sort of reminds me.

>>280144441
Ryushika is so damn cute.

I think the real pseud take is that people supposedly cannot have preferences if they can't dress them up to some quasi-analytical terms you prefer. Most people still base their opinions directly on the emotions and impressions they first get from watching an anime, this kind of thing doesn't really change even if you put on your analysis goggles afterwards and vocalize to Reddit why the specific thing made you feel what it does.

Nowhere really, you just find some cute comfy anime to dull the pain a bit.
If you really want something more, read Abe's Haibane doujins that have some extra stuff in them and I guess you can read the Murakami book if you're really hardcore Haibanehead (or like reading in general I guess)

Next stop: Wolfs Rain and Texhnolyze.

There's no way a person who shits out this many vague buzzwords isn't a zoomer who "likes" Tolkien because he feels like it's some lens to culture war. I legit haven't met a single Tolkien fan who's like this and actually sincere.

>>280144584
>haibane renmei is done wrong

>>280152565
It could have used a piss scene.

>>280151685
nta, dummy. I was a Tolkien fan before I knew what internet is.

>>280152565
Don't mind SNWfags. Attention-seeking in unrelated threads is all they have.

>>280146974
Kimika!

Is there porn that shows this?

>>280151280
Already watched both recently. And Ergo Proxy.
>>280147005
3 episodes in now. Gonna watch slower because it's a treat
>>280144584
I'll check it out

>>280155584
Why would I care about you if you weren't that anon?

>>280155605
In my experience most people who frequent the threads like both series, actually. I sometimes feel like I need to play defense here and explain that the pic is a joke because some people actually seem to be bothered by it.

>>280161249
It's a meme.
However, while SnW and HR have similar quality levels, similar characters and similar SoL to shit-gets-real progressions in similar settings with mysterious outside worlds, SnW's girls are cuter and SnW has a piss scene, so that makes it the better anime.

>>280162500
Eh, they both have their charm points, it's hard for me to compare
Piss scene is something else though

>>280141711 (OP)
same

>>280141804
they do

>>280158838
I know this because Rakka is my wife and I make her orgasms frequently

>>280141804
>>280164088

>>280158838
Do these things even have sex? Do they have reproductive organs? The public wants to know.

>>280165564
Yes, the wings are their sexual organs

>>280144584
I was in the SPECULAH threads since the beginning and even I don't think that. Haibane Renmei top to bottom is a very serious, contemplative thing. SnW is a high school club anime dropped into a mysterious setting. I love both but if someone asked for quality anime recs HR would be much further up the list than Houkago Wehrmacht Time.
