I can't help but see some Nichijou similarities, this time regarding whole scenes:
Tatewaku thinks he is speaking with this future self, some kind of magic/supernatural event. He tries to figure out if it is real or not (badly). This is similar to when Nakanojou tried to figure out the fortune teller.
The scene of Tsurubishi going to the restaurant is similar to the Yukko in the coffee shop scene. They visit a shop but are taken aback by the ordering process. Now that I think of it this also includes the scene at the bakery. On a separate note I really liked the menu with the hentaigana/cursive kana calligraphy. I don't know how accurate it really is but the general shape and flow of it looks good. Certainly one of the most beautiful calligraphy styles and not seen often in anime (the big brush type of style is seen more often).
The chase scene is obviously similar to the Nichijou chase scene.
In principle, but it did never hurt anything when I just straight up cut the power so I got the feeling that I was waiting for nothing. It wasn't like the disk wasn't flushed yet or anything. Maybe it is good to be extra careful when restarting a server or something similar, but for desktop usage I prefer if the init system just kills everything after a few seconds so I can go with my day. Neither is right or wrong just whatever you prefer. I like a cutthroat style in general and I accept the minor risks that come with it.
This is so IRL. It was the last drop in the bucket when using systemd, when it started to let me wait out a countdown every time I shut it down. I would just flip the power supply switch. Then I switched from Arch to Artix.
Watching CITY the animation and finished ARIA the origination. Aria started out average (relative to the rest of it) but then it really started hitting. Ep 9 is one of the most emotional episodes I have ever seen in my life. It did a most wonderful thing: make me tear up without making me sad. And when Alicia explained her way of thinking and acting, it just was so wonderful and wholesome. She is a sage like character. Many anime focus on the dark side of life. Others on big dreams and unreasonable success. Others on comedy and entertainment. Aria focuses on happiness and how to live life. More so than most other slice of life series.
Is the girl in Riko's flashback Wako? Her hair is a different colour... But she has the same family name and she finds her again in front of the apartments?
With photography as a subject (pun intended) the shot composition goes pretty hard as well.
The opening has a little moment at the end where they hug that white thing. A similar moment can be found in one of the K-ON! openings (also Kyou-ani).
This episode is also longer than 24 minutes. I thought that was just for the first episode. If it consistently runs for about 27 minutes, that would be pretty rare.
It seems that this anime is going to be more continuous with some plot elements than Nichijou. With that I mean that even if there won't be some kind of grand plot, the episodes do seem to build upon each other in a linear fashion instead of being mostly moments that are separate from eachother.
at 7:29 they employ one of my favorites: calligraphy/font annotated speech
the city overviews are wonderful, always like when anime zooms out
at 8:30 there is a split screen, I only know of Lucky Star having done that before (also Kyouani)
artist/editor interaction, reminds me of Gochuumon wa Usagi desuka?
at 10:31 the "armless form" appears, previously seen in Nichijou and Azumanga Daioh. Seen the greats but not popular broadly in anime?
the "action scenes" like the wine cork scene are very much like Nichijou (like the Yukko/Mio sausage scene)
the sections with small interludes betwixed, a la Nichijou. However the sections seem to smoothly connect to each other before going off into their own direction. This adds a lot of world building and making the location feel real and alive.
It is interesting to see how this fleshing out of the location continues. Another anime that takes place in a relatively small town and in which that location is quite important to whole is Aria, which does that very successfully.
Wako is a real wacko, god bless her soul
It's EP 1 and we already have a broccoli scene. Truly Nichijou 2.0 in spirit.
Excited for City obviously. The Nichijou community is also the City community: !nichijou@lemmy.world.
Finished Binzume Yousei. It's an old educational anime for children. I don't think I learned anything new but the fairies were cute and the OP is kinda fire. It has one of my favorite oddly specific events: children learning about the cycle of life. It's a wholesome anime, recommended for true moe enjoyers.
He has a very large audience of regular people so if he promotes Linux, free software and privacy then this is a very good thing. The community wants adoption but as soon as regular people try their hand at it there is always something to complain about. We'll never get anywhere with behaviour like this. Wider adaption means that many people you don't like will participate as well. I haven't seen this video though so I don't know if he does a good job or not.
I had heard that name before, and for some reason I had categorised it in my head along with my hero academia and other popular shows I had no interest in. After looking it up because of this post I was rather wrong. Still no interest though.
I don't really rewatch things because there is still so much more things to watch that I haven't and there is limited time to watch anime.
I have rewatched Non Non Biyori's first episode a few times.
The first minutes are really good and I really like the cherry blossom tree scene including the build up to it.
I don't have a dedicated time in the year to watch it though.
There seem to be way more people that keep saying that they hate Arch users who keep saying that they use Arch than Arch users that keep saying that they use Arch.
I finished ARIA the natural. It's very good again. Especially the OST and Athena's songs. I don't think I've seen so many golden hour shots in an anime ever. I'm a great enjoyer of golden hour, tender music and a some sappy lines.
