Made in the Abyss, but it sadly fails on the embarrassed point due to the art style and some other things. Code Geass if you haven't watched it already. Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso, but it's very heavy and probably doesn't have anything to do with what you asked. Hal I guess could fall in to the category, but it's more of a drama. Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou. @majestic liked it. Psycho-Pass is probably the closest, but it's not as good. Maybe give the Ghost in a Shell movies a rewatch?

Eh, I usually only stick with the Hepburn title if it's the title it's more known by even for English audiences. You don't see me ever calling Perfect Blue "Pafekuto Buru", Whisper of the Heart "Mimi wo Sumaseba", or Sailor Moon "Bishoujo Senshi". I edited the quoted text because I figured that name was more useful. 33 minutes ago, PK htiw klaw eriF said: Even worse than Whoopi Goldberg.

It's the dual-edged blade of modern anime: you're very occasionally able to get some odder and more interesting ideas produced that would've probably strayed too far from what was considered "safe" to make way back in the day, but then they shove in annoying crap and do little things wrong all the time because it's a modern anime and it drives me up a wall.

I don't think the actual weebs would have me even if I were so inclined: from my interactions with a number of them online, it seems to usually be that I am repulsed by them, and they by me. It's a marvellous and perfectly natural symbiosis, I think. The Night Is Short, Walk on Girl (2017). I've had this on my watchlist for a number of years. It was an odd and interesting film, but they shoved too much annoying crap in and did little things wrong because it's a modern anime and it drove me up a wall. Yes, I suppose it was a predictable result. Edited July 17, 2023 by Bartimaeus 1 Quote How I have existed fills me with horror.

InsaneCommander Posted July 18, 2023 Author Share Posted July 18, 2023 (edited) Tried watching the first episode of Atelier Ryza. After a few minutes I was feeling sleepy and I checked how much time was left. Then I found out the episode is 48 minutes long and I dropped it for good. The comment section is hilarious. I guess that is the time the protagonist needs to put her shorts and boots on.

Everyone sort of looks at her as sort of being sexy, and that’s completely not how we look at her, so that really caught us by surprise. Someone's out of touch with reality. Or lying. Perhaps both... 1 No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartimaeus Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 (edited) I feel like her outfit would be unbearably annoying to wear - between the parts that are too tight, the parts that are too loose, and all the different random pieces of garbage dangling and bouncing every time she so much as breathes, it would be absolute sensory overload while also impeding mobility and catching on things. I guess all that that really goes for a lot of current """cute""" anime clothing design, but she in particular seems to be a masterclass in disastrous design. But I suppose where I see an incredibly tasteless concoction of uncomfortable, too much, and off-putting, other people apparently see sexy. That's the way she goes.

Time to play devil's otaku's advocate. Knowing nothing else about the game or anime, that outfit is pretty tame by a lot of Shonen or videogame standards.
