I was worried about Death Parade, I'm glad I watched it all the way through. There just wasn't a lot of development or antagonistic measures taken. But it was indeed nice. Plastic Memories is an all time favorite for me. Enjoyed it a lot.
I found Your Name online to watch, so that's how I did. Wasn't in theater :P
I watched Rosario to Vampire...it had no plot. Apparently the manga is decent but season of the anime literally had no relevant plot other than character introductions until the last 2 episodes. I gave it a 5 because it did have plot.
On the other hand I watched Maison Ikkoku which had a lot of plot. It dragged on a bit towards the middle but it was a pretty entertaining ride imo. Gave it a 9.
I haven't watched any non-shounen shows that were long enough to fully develop the characters and deliver satisfying closure for each story line. By the end of it I still liked every character as much if not more than when they were first introduced, even Mitaka redeemed himself in the end. Thinking of watching another longer show soon.
That was first anime besides Naruto or Yu Gi Oh I've seen. This was like, 5 years ago though. I literally watched it because hot anime girls and everything a teenage child would want.
Now that I think back on that show, it was really, really bad. Literally Echhi and that's all. They don't even hide it lmao.
i watched the series Touch not long after i finished Maison Ikkoku, maybe give that a try~
oh, you're talking about Rosario+Vampire, was about to say..
and most modern series are shameless fanservice, people just tolerate it because
that's why they're watching, or because they found a waifu they like
