I feel like the memory loss aspect of LotL was pointless. You can get rid of that and the series will be almost exactly the same. It looked like they were going to do something with it

Later in the series for sure, but tons after the anime ends. No I had. I just wasn't sure if you were saying "it happens after the anime" or "you saw it in the anime and didn't notice it". If it happens later then that's fine. There's a reason why my initial post was just "it doesn't feel finished" without saying anything more substantial. --- Congratulations to BK_Sheikah00, this year's guru to achieve contest enlightenment! ...

Incidentally LtM: Orange is a 100% CG studio. LotL is the first anime they've produced themselves - they usually help with other anime. Work on the anime only started two years ago, if that (that was when the director was first scouted for the project).

To be quite honest this is the reason I'm so bitter that it's not a complete adaptation. To me this would be equivalent to getting an incomplete anime for something like Haibane Renmei or Mawaru Penguindrum. Edit: I know at least one of these is anime original. The point I'm trying to make is that if somehow the story ended up incomplete it would really suck --- Congratulations to BK_Sheikah00, this year's guru to achieve contest enlightenment! ...

My thoughts on the LotL matter
Phos wanted to grow stronger, but instead of working hard and earning her strength, she deliberately destroys her body in order to achieve strength. She lacked the fortitude to pursue her end goal organically, and in doing so, she gave up precious memories, losing sight of why exactly she wanted strength in the first place. I think it's trying to show that when we seek the easy way to reach our goals, we tend to forget what inspired us in the first place. --- http://i.imgur.com/l7xxLh1.jpg PSN/Steam - RoboQuote ; NNID - TazzyMan ...

I also randomly started Classroom of the Elite and it's interesting. The whole school feels like a psychological experiment and the characters have fit into that really well so far (just finished episode three). --- **R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D** ... Copied to Clipboard!

Finally was able to watch the finale of Girls' Last Tour.
I don't have the impression it was that popular here, but I honestly consider this to be a top tier anime. It's hard to point to individually great moments as with other really good shows, but this is just a show with a strong and unique premise that executes almost everything well. Even just taken at face value it's a pretty good slice of life. The characters are entertaining and have some pretty fun interactions. Ultimately though it's the setting that really sells the show. The unflinching optimism of Chito and Yuuri even in the face of the empty hopelessness of the world they are traveled is really heartwarming, even despite the narrative technique not being all that complex. Combine that with their Kino's Journey-esque dialogues that dig right into the nature of humans themselves, and it creates a combination of different feelings that I don't think is quite like any other anime out there. Also I have trouble putting it into words, but I love the way this show handles worldbuilding--it just feels...natural I guess. The show never outright comes and tells you anything, but it slowly reveals bits and pieces as the characters themselves come across the information , but it still does so in a way that builds up a reasonably complete picture by the end. Also I want to call special attention to the sound in this anime. Not only the music, which was also outstanding, but the sound effects in this anime were really good, which is not something I thought I'd be praising ever. Things like the constant mechanical grinding of their vehicle or the sound of loose screws rattling on metal or the assortment of other metallic sounds I could mention really did wonders for immersing me in the industrial setting. So anyways yeah, pretty great show. It's pretty much exactly what it portrays itself to be, so if you thought it looked stupid I don't really see it changing your mind. If you're at all interested in the premise though then I do recommend giving it a try. --- Congratulations to BK_Sheikah00, this year's guru to achieve contest enlightenment! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Yeah, Girls' Last Tour is a top five anime for me (and as I slowly watch more anime, reaching the top five is starting to actually mean something!)
pyresword posted... The unflinching optimism of Chito and Yuuri even in the face of the empty hopelessness of the world they are traveled is really heartwarming This was what struck me about it too. So many other post-apocalyptic shows take the depressing route, and while GLT focuses on similar things (it certainly never shies away from what was lost, for example) Chi and Yuu never let anything get them down for long. Even in the final episode I'm also having trouble putting this into words but yeah, GLT was something special. --- **R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D** ... Copied to Clipboard!

If you're still looking for recommendations by the way, I think you might like the show Aria. It's a completely different setting with basically nothing depressing or dark to speak of, but it does that same feeling of optimism really well. It is an extremely slow-paced episodic slice-of-life show which is definitely not for everyone, but it seems like you'd be fine with that based on other shows you've seen? It's also a favorite of a few people in this topic I believe (including myself), though I'm not sure how often some of them still post in here. Edit: To clarify, I am referring to the series with the 1st/2nd/3rd seasons titled as "Aria the Animation/Natural/Origination" respectively. Not that other show with Aria in the title. --- Congratulations to BK_Sheikah00, this year's guru to achieve contest enlightenment! ... Copied to Clipboard!
