selayar@ani.social 1 week agoIf you’re okay with Movies:
- Liz and the Blue Bird: (technically part of Hibike Euphonium but works as a stand-alone) A masterpiece film by Yamada Naoko, about a timid girl’s struggle with her relationship
- The Colors Within: Another Yamada Naoko film about finding your own color, super low stake drama, more on feels good anime
- Silent Voice: Yet another Yamada Naoko film about forgiving yourself and finding strength through each other (CW: suicide attempt)
- Look Back: The love and struggle for doing art
- Uma Musume Pretty Derby: Beginning of a new Era: (Just finished this one) An anthropomorphized race horse’s struggle to rise to the top, beautiful animation and drama
As for series:
- Hibike Euphonium: band drama
- Hyouka: a highschool detective solving mundane every day life through clever deduction, more character driven story
- Keep Your Hands off Eizouken: about making animation (not a real life representative, lean on the whimsical and creative aspect of animation)
