Only takes shows I’ve seen into consideration, so maybe one day I’ll do another, more comprehensive one. Make it a collaborative effort maybe?
Whatever, it was fun to make this afternoon.
My two favorite anime are Mushishi and 3 gatsu no lion.
Mushishi is a wonderfully directed episodic show about traveling witch doctor who cures ills caused by spirits
3 gatsu no lion is about a 16 year old chess prodigy trying to live on his own that struggles with depression caused by dysfunction in his adoptive family, and the loss of his bio family. Realistic depiction of overcoming depression by letting good people in. I absolutely adore it. It’s funny, cute, artsy, with great character development.
3-gatsu is the GOAT, I wish I could convince my friends to watch it. The best I’ve gotten through is explaining that it portrays the emotions and thoughts of the characters in a very visual way.
Pitch it to them by saying that 3gnl is what your adolescence would’ve been like if you got the support you needed. Tell them that watching the show is like watching a friend heal.
Or just say that it does the best job of blending drama and slice of life out of any show.
