Line 488:
* [[The Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer]]. This series [[Needs More Love]]. Far more. This troper would even go so far as to say this is the most touchingly-written piece of character study he's ever read. Despite the rather silly English title, this manga is a delightful inversion of the classic "save the world" motivation behind so many plots. It deconstructs things, but not in an attempt to simply be as dark as possible, a la Evangelion. The Protagonist Yuuhi decides that wants to save the world for his only love... so that she can destroy it herself. This is played to be a positive trait; a man's simple desire to fulfill a girl's final request. In fact, the whole thing is wonderfully subversive. Yuuhi doesn't want to get involved, not because he's spineless, but because he simply can't be bothered. He doesn't win because he's the good guy and he has the willpower to beat up the bad guy - he's devious and crafty and he knows it. [[Anyone Can Die|Characters die]] due to their positive attributes. But they all still have hope, everyone's still optimistic, and {{spoiler|it eventually all pays off for them}}. But, above all, this is simply a touching romance about coming to terms with the fact that you're not going to live long, and so you should make the most out of how you live.
* This troper is no newbie in anime and manga, so he knows high school romance mangas very well, but no other manga has touched this troper heart as much as [[GE - Good Ending]], lets see, it works with common tropes and stories and gives them a twist to keep you entertained? Check, it includes very human and relatable characters? Check, you can actually say: "That same thing happened to me" many times? Check, it has MANY cute and beautiful moments? Check, a great artwork? Check, I dont get tired of saying it, [[GE - Good Ending]] is simply great.
* ''[[Violet Evergarden (anime)|Violet Evergarden]]'' is one of the most emotional series ever, not just in anime, not just in animation, but in all shows. It has incredible animation, beautiful theme songs ''and'' a great soundtrack that all works together to pull you in. Once it does so, it never lets go, and you feel every emotion alongside the characters. The standalone episodes where Violet helps other people write letters are just as beautiful as the episodes which advance the storyline, and each episode is crafted with such care that looking away for a single frame should be considered a crime. The animation isn't the only things worth your while here; the storyline is interesting, both in the standalone episodes and the overarching plot. You do get attached to almost every single character,. andNo almostcharacters no character isare two dimensional; theyeveryone are allis hiding something underneath, and [[Kyoto Animation]] fully expoits that to deliver emotionally resounding and compelling stories. It never resorts to cheap animation tricks, cliffhangers, or fan service to generate interest, instead it chooses to retain viewers through genuine, honest work. The only cliffhanger is integrated into the story so well and delivers a punch so strong it never feels like it's trying to trick the audience. It does get dark at times, but it only makes the series more powerfulbeautiful. Overall,Good it'sluck oneholding ofback thetears mostin powerful series everepisode made10.
* ''[[Suzume (film)|Suzume]]'' is an amazing film. It's one of the rare standalone anime films not associated with a series. It blends high stakes action-adventure with quiet, cosy moments that wouldn't be out of place in a [[Studio Ghibli]] film (in fact, it pays [[Homage]] to ''two'' Ghibli films). Settings are immersive with beautiful animation that makes them feel alive, like they're a real place on Earth. The many people the [[Hero Protagonist]] Suzume encounters throughout her journey are kind and likeable, helping her in the sweetest ways. It's more than a [[Slice of Life]] flick though, and there are many engaging action sequences with real stakes and emotions that feel both out of the world and grounded. Sure, it can be a bit silly at times (looking at you, Sota-chair), but it just becomes good in ''another'' way.
