Do you know any more anime that give you a feeling of isolation and loneliness? Where the interactions between characters are short? Where it's more about the atmosphere created by images and sound rather than story and dialogue? They don't necessarily have to take place in desolate places. It could also be about the sense of isolation you get from living in a big city.

Good news Mika Sensai! We are transferring you to an underprivileged city school in America!

I'm kind of surprised this isn't already in the catalog. So, uh, let's talk about Evangelion?

The first time I saw it was actually on an online stream organized on…either here or back when wizardchan was still up. In retrospect, I don't know HOW I managed to watch the anime I did and not run across NGE. It's like never hearing about Star Wars, but that's how it was. In any case, I thought it was a sort of Plan Nine kind of thing, because I came into the stream midway through the series, and particularly after seeing Episode 25 and 26. It felt like the narration at the beginning of Plan Nine. I also wasn't too phased by the apocalypse because…isn't that how all anime end? So many JRPGs and anime have to have some sort of over-the-top climatic ending that I sort of just shrugged it off.

Afterwards, I thought that others would have funny stuff to say about it, but then realized that…this was something pretty serious to a lot of people. It sort of annoyed me because it came off as horribly pretentious to me. Since then, a few years have passed and I've forgotten about it. But then recently it nagged on me, and I saw it again. It struck a chord with me. I hate to say that because I don't want to give an inch to all the pretentious reviews I read. Why it has done so NOW I wish I knew why, and for some reason that really disturbs me.

I think the best review I've seen on NGE is a single sentence long, "You like NGE in inverse proportion to the amount you like yourself."



It's disgusting.

Times ticking so I’m thinking about making my pilgrimage soon. What places would you recommend going to? I’d like to see a lot of mecha stuff but any recommendation would be fine.

Also, how much Japanese do i need to know to go? My vocabulary is limited to 3 or 4 words, so I thought about just paying someone here to come with me to translate but that’d suck if I payed all that then he ditched me so I’ll just tough it out and learn some

which one did it better Eden or NGE? although they are not that similar really

Classic old geimu but can be quite fun, r-right?
Image can be a screenshot or anything else really as long as it gives a clue. I'll start with something pretty easy, probably.

what are the thoughts of wizs about kurenai?
truth to be told i only stayed because of the piano BG at first but before i could even realize it i got engaged by the characters and the slice of life atmosphere.
i mean theyre not ,like , extra deep complex characters strugiling in some sort of cyberpunk world, u can call em even stereotypes whose personalities hold no value at all and that wont be too much of a mistake but the animation is so full of energy and when the characters starts talking all at the same time makes it makes it feel more vivid, so u come to forget they are normfags whatsover.

maybe its just that the idea of kids getting hit in the head when they do something wrong and a bunch of people speaking ath the same time in a small room sounds appealing to me
but what does wiz thinks about simple shows like these?
