I haven't watched live action stuff in months. Anime pisses on so many screenwriting guidlines like too much exposition and internal monologues but for some reason I can't stop watching. I'm even tempted download some light novels and read them.

/tv/ weebs have moved on to shows with real romance stories.

Anyone else find it interesting how the Japanese are so repressed and emotionally stilted, but in anime everyone is so over-emotional and mawkish? Does it serve as an outlet? Every character interaction/dialogue is so exaggerated.

You are right in some ways, but I've yet to find an anime where the characters are subdued or restrained in any kind of social reaction. If anything many western films or shows depict people acting less emotionally than they would in real life.

>>213397403
What is it?
1: live action adaptions of goofy romcom manga/manhwa, just as corny acting as jap version but with better CG/costume (jap live adaptions for me are notoriously low budget, costumes look like something a kid would use for halloween, a wear once and throw out)
2: live action corny adaption but completely tone down the wacky comedy of the manga/manhwa, so it's more slapstick like a adam sandler romcom (idiots can be larger than life, but not anime tier, so more a 50 first dates)

>>213399102
I think that homo-monster-horror thing this season is subdued enough for you. Characters act out in their monologue but their actual reactions are not the 24/7 over-the-top loud you don't like.

Anime is essentially a stage play, it NEEDS to go overboard, and in some cases without it, it sucks because the animation can't properly display what's needed (cheep ass studios). So going all in with over-exaggeration is all that is left.

You know it's just a medium, right? I know we're on /tv/ but the idea that you need to be part of a fandom or whatever to enjoy something is fucking retarded. Just find shows that you like the look of on MAL or wherever and watch them. It's not hard.

>>213404558
Start checking weekly in 05, fall in love with the insanity that that was site wide with shows 'everyone' watched in 06-07. We used to be an actual community, shit transcended boards, I thought animu VA sounded 'bad' (not to my palette) I eventually could understand the squeaks and would never look back.

Honestly, all modern fandoms are kind of insufferable, too many annoying women, annoying gays, and annoying autists.
Even here on /tv/ you have waifufag and yurifag autists who are just as annoying and autistic as their /a/ counterparts, they just obsess over live action shows and the love lives of IRL actors instead of anime and the love lives of voice actors.

To this day it is the only thing I've ever cryed watching. Was depressed for weeks after, like I had ended a relationship.

I just can't understand how weebs operate.
I'm watching anime / reading manga for two decades already, and I'm appalled by the suggestions in here.
You literally piss yourself over teenage romcoms! Or that shit stale meme of "cute girls doing cute stuff". Best you can do is young adult action driven fiction, generic battleshonens akin to marvel slop.
WHY?!
Most of you are nearing forties, so you probably watched K-on in your twenties. Just fucking how? Why would a grown males watch it throughout their adulhood?

im reading through the light novels so i can actually put an essay together on it.
the answer is what's the throughline between:
>ryuuji always cleaning up/fixing little messes he sees
>them both needing to resolve historical family issues before starting a relationship
>how the relationship starts (taiga being interested in someone else)
minori kind of summarizes it in one of her lines
"run towards what you can see"
this scene kind of sums it up
https://youtu.be/fC3Pif6iTlk

the op also captures it

it is basically making a sort of existentialist/aesthetic argument where attachment to reality is dependent on our ability to be responsive (or available) to the current situation and be willing to be transformed in a way we don't understand as opposed to systematic/technical thinking.

What matters is your current experience and your fidelity to that experience.
Another film that kind of captures this would be Malick's To the Wonder but it doesn't do it nearly as well.

https://youtu.be/uCjK5Y6wzak

a big aspect of the more serious existentialists is that sort of tension between systematic/technical thinking and the idea we can understand a situation fully vs the necessity of committing fully to things without full understanding, and that wanting systematic mastery essentially being cutting you off from reality. It's tied in with our own personal histories (the family stuff) as well as how engaged we are in our current situation because
>We are plants which—whether we like to admit it to ourselves or not—must with our roots rise out of the earth in order to bloom
in the ether and to bear fruit.
and that that alienation of wanting to understand it actually prevents you from ever understanding what you are doing.

Pretty kino post anon. I'm impressed with what you got out of Toradora; admittedly it's been years since I watched it so certainly I could have missed it being a meditation on existentialism in the truest sense. Maybe I should try the light novels (translated, I'm EOP unfortunately). How are they compared to the anime? I should probably plan on rewatching that as well.

>the Japanese are so repressed and emotionally stilted
They are not. Every culture is different in terms of emotional expression. You perceive theirs as pathological (hence the language you use, which implies there is something wrong with them) because your culture is uniquely expressive (I would call it "emotionally incontinent") and the other end of the spectrum seems unusual to you, and also because your culture programs you to view other cultures as abnormal or artificial, as if everyone else is naturally like you and only pretends otherwise because of oppressive social constructs (this is actually unironically taught to amerimutts in school)
