TokyoCaramel@ani.socialto Anime@ani.social•Deafness Explored in Anime - A Sign of Affection (2024) and A Silent Voice (2016)English13·1 年前I’m going to be blunt. A Silent Voice is great. A Sign of Affection…doesn’t do anything for me. I only watched a few eps. MC is too infantilized IMO. “Be shy and cute and multiple attractive dudes will put in massive amounts of effort to get to know you, overcome your special needs and be your crutch”
I love the depiction in Silent Voice where MC doesn’t speak fluently but kind of grunts. But in A Sign of Affection her inner voice has perfect diction and that IMO completely takes away from the depiction of deafness. The anime director could have been more creative in how to express her inner “voice”, if an inner dialogue was needed at all
TokyoCaramel@ani.socialto Anime@ani.social•What are some of your favorite EDs? Why do you like them?English2·1 年前Utsukushiki Zankoku na Sekai by Yoko Hikasa - Attack on Titan ED1. The melody is a startling contrast from the anime itself. Unlike the action packed and destructive anime, the song is gentle and pure, sad and foreboding, but with a measure of strength. Like someone (namely Mikasa, featured in the video) desperately fighting to hold on to something that will inevitably escape their grasp.

Tangential mini-rant, sorry
I generally love YOASOBI but don’t get why their song was chosen for Frieren’s OP. Probably just because of how popular they are as a performer. It’s a catchy song, but the style clashes so much and the Ending song (Anytime Anywhere by Milet) is way better of a match with that anime. Sorry to be a downer
Uncle from Another World / Isekai Ojisan is so, so good
I checked out the first episode. It’s unabashedly degenerate, and over the top. It’s a great start 😆
TokyoCaramel@ani.socialto Anime@ani.social•Anime Questions, Recommendations, and Discussion Thread [Week 7]English3·1 年前That makes sense to me, a hybrid of /c/anime and series-specific /c/s depending on popularity. That makes more sense than /c/episode_discussion since that’s categorized on the type of content, rather than categorized by a community of people interested in it. So I agree with the future vision. Appreciate you taking the time to explain!

TokyoCaramel@ani.socialto Anime@ani.social•Anime Questions, Recommendations, and Discussion Thread [Week 7]English3·1 年前Oh so !episode_discussion@ani.social is getting phased out from the sound of it. I’m out of the loop and was curious how that community fit into the picture, this cleared it up, assuming I interpreted correctly.

I haven’t seen Date a Live, what do you like about it? I’ve seen the red goth lolita girl in fan art, and the title sounds familiar, it seems to get referenced a lot over the years. If they’re up to season 5 there must be something special about it huh?
