/a/ - Animu & Mango

>no plans to pick it up

>probably give it one episode at least

>super fujo

God, you suck. I bet you're that faggot that freaks out about "NTR" in every show, and continues to watch it regardless.

I hope one day you actually kill yourself.

>>779472

The anime doesn't do her beauty justice

>>779483

>>779486

>Actually no, it caters to an audience of "nobody understands me" girls.

That and daddy issues really seems to be the theme. It's kind of nice overall, isn't even particularly badly written, but it just has some momentary lapses where you can tell that you really aren't the target audience here.

>>779483

Reminds me of Ebino from Hatsukoi Zombie, but without the cow tits.

I'm glad I gave this a shot. It's really... atmospheric. They did a fine job making it feel like it was actually taking place on a lazy and hot Summer day in Nippon. I love that kind of shit, and I love the rain theme that seems to be echoed throughout the show because rain is the best thing ever.

Story isn't even as bad as some made it out to be; It's actually pretty funny and kind of refreshing. The manager is a pretty rad guy, despite being a total fuck up, and I would like to have some biru with him.

Looking forward to more.

>>779882

Oh, and I forgot to mention, the music score is A++.

A lot of cool things from a show that's sure to blow under the radar.

>>779882

I was living in Bodø about two years ago. From the beginning of October to the end of November: rain, rain, rain, rain and even more rain. Even so, I really liked it.

With a bit of imagination you can picture that this show is actually about /a/non in his forties, and his waifu. Think about it.

>>779893

It was like that when I lived in Vancouver, too. Although summer rains have a special kind of feeling to them: The warmth, the smell. It's so lovely.

>>779890

Long necks are made for smooching.

I quite liked the first episode

As this anon >>779882 said it has some pretty good atmosphere, decent humor and characterization so far.

It seems pretty sweet and I hope it mostly stays that way.

>they chose to animate this but not Komi-San

Fuck it, long neck will do for the meantime. If you want to see what it would be like if the characters were already dating check Shiota-sensei to Amai-chan.

>First episode was bad

I pray that anyone who thinks this is brutally raped to death by niggers.

That was probably the best possible opener a show like this could do. The directing was great, there was a nice bit of scenery porn, the large cast was decent and given just enough time to shine without spending too much time on anyone in particular or bogging things down with too much backstory, too quickly, and the overall tone and atmosphere was conveyed incredibly well. I particularly liked the closeup detailed shots of the MC eyes, especially the one near the end where rain was reflected in them. She's incredibly pretty.

Fantastically good start. Enough so that I'm nearly convinced to run off right this second to read the manga.

>>780634

I really did like the art with the eyes, and I agree this was a fantastic first episode, especially for an adaptation of a shoujo manga. I hope we get more scenery porn with rain, since I think that along with the close-up's of the MC, especially the eye's, were some of the highest points of the art in the show so far.

I-I.... LOVE IT SO MUCH!

Seriously, to me, this show is almost perfect. It does everything so well and the interactions between characters are adorable. The romance is laid-back and delicate, the humor is great, the characters are fantastic, the entire show is incredibly comfy and cute. Hard to believe it but so far I find it better than both Yuru Camp and Sora yori mo tooi basho, and those two shows have been great so far.

Manager is the best male protagonist I've seen in ages.

I enjoyed the first episode, but this one really sold me on the show. Yuru Camp will probably still be AOTS, but I expect this will be the runner-up.

Tachibana is ethereally beautiful, and Tenchou's a real breath of fresh air compared to most male protags. And I didn't even notice any horrendously long necks this time.

Looks like Kiichi Goto finally got fired for ineptitude

It is very charming so far, at least for me, and you niggers are overacting. Shame the plot will probably go no where, but it will be a comfy ride nonetheless.

>>779486

>be closing in on 30 years of age and wizardhood

>rekindles hope

id wager it caters to middleaged

lonley anime fans.

>also has REALLY good cloudporn

love me some good cloudporn

>>782896

Why change this?

Man oh man, unbelievably cute. I'm still struggling to figure out how they manage to make this show work so well with such a premise. It's legitimately funny, too. Manager's internal monologues are a thing of wonder.

Tachibana strikes me as being really immature in her behavior though. She is childish in that way that she demands that she gets what she wants regardless of anything or anyone else. And she is childish in the way that she doesn't even have reasons for her "love." She just sort of decided that she loves him and that's that, which makes it seem more like a passing infatuation. That's my take on her so far anyway, judging by the show alone.

Got a little carried away with the screenshots.

>>785648

...haven't been studying your nihongo have you, anon

I can almost smell the rain. Also, what are pic related doing in glorious Nippon?

Just saw the first episode. This show is precious.

As a shoujo fan, I can say this does not disappoint. I like how they're doing the shoujo bubbles and sparkles.

>>785792

Have we entered the era of bushy eyelashes?

>>785792

>>785838

We all have anon.

That guy is a fucking cunt.

I need a cute picture to offset the cunt.

Oh, neat.

Holy shit, I thought I was going to grow old waiting for DameDesuYo subs. Whatever though, they're as good as it gets for After the Rain.

The second デート was so good I completely forgot the first ever happened. Much like Tachibana, I'd wager.

Tenchou is honestly the most relatable MC I've ever seen and although this anime is great for so many other reasons, he's making this show for me. I started drinking black coffee the exact same way when I was a teen, minus the date part.

>>788992

Picked the fuck up.

>>790761

>we shouldn't be watching it

Fucking end your life.

>>790822

Long necks are good.

This is pretty cool for anyone interested in /jp/ cinema; I stumbled upon it by mistake and I am ridiculously excited to see it.

>based on Akira Kurosawa's last movie script

Interestingly Tachibana even has the same first name.

I want a sweaty Tachibana.

Tachinbana is the cutest stalker.

Freckles tomboy a cute.

Also a melting Tachibana.

Last episode had me giggling like a schoolgirl but my eyes just kind of glazed over for most of this episode. Does anyone care about the brown tomboy?

The best anime this season and no one's watching it.

I blame OP. Here's to you, faggot.

>>795484

Yes. She's a good girl who is trying to hold on to a pure friendship. If more people were more like her once they grew up it wouldn't all be such shit. Also, she's tanned.

>>796556

I suppose it's a matter of personal taste when picking between the different shades of a handful of great shows.

As much as I adore Yuru Camp, to me the yurus lack depth of character. And the worldbuilding, although great, isn't quite as good as Amegari. Which doesn't matter anyway because they're completely different shows and the yurus do many other things way better.

And I don't know what point I'm even trying to make here.

>>796572

>I can practically smell the heat.

Same here. It does paint a vivid picture.

>>796572

It does actually feel kind of fantastical when you see stuff like this.

I guess Nihon is just that beautiful.

>>796714

I saw that exact ship while I was in Kagoshima.

Everything about it is so extremely painfully bittersweet. It hurts so much to watch.

I wish I had a sweaty brown loli and a smug Tachibana-san.

>70% pure legs

That can't be healthy.

I WANT TO MARRY TACHIBANA

What an amazing scene.

>finally get around to watching new DDY release

>subconsciously pause to look at Tenchou's computer screen

>see this

Also, Tachibana legs.

>>800047

>neck like a giraffe

>legs like a zebra

Tachibana confirmed for Okapi in disguise.

I WANT TO HAVE CHILDREN WITH TACHIBANA

Nishida a cute.

This kills the tachibana.

>Suddenly slav

I didn't expect this.

Ah, really sorry about this anons, but... I also waited for DDY subs and kind of forgot I didn't watch last week's episode yet. I hope you don't mind but I have to post my screenshot autism somewhere. It's embarrassing, considering it's my favorite airing anime.

Watching this show - Tenchou in particular - is planting in me a great desire to read Japan's timeless literature classics, in their original language. Yet another reason to get back to studying moonrunes. I find the thought of reading their books far more appealing than reading their LNs to be honest.

>>800471

The cutest and most precious angel!

I want to make Tachibana BLTs, every single day.

>>802897

>comfiest

It is incredibly comfy, yes. But let's not upset the reigning champions while they're getting ready for their next camping trip.

Another reason why it can't be the comfiest is because it is draped in a mist of melancholy and has a bittersweetness about each of the characters and their imperfections. Tencho's monologues, in particular, remind me of

>Mono no aware (物の哀れ), literally "the pathos of things", and also translated as "an empathy toward things", or "a sensitivity to ephemera", is a Japanese term for the awareness of impermanence (無常 mujō), or transience of things, and both a transient gentle sadness (or wistfulness) at their passing as well as a longer, deeper gentle sadness about this state being the reality of life.

All of this is further evidenced by how much weight is held by rain in the series. It's also a big reason why I'm deeply fond of it.

>>802900

I find the 無常 makes it all the comfier for me. It gives me the same feels Shoujo Shuumatsu did last season. The kyampu's are comfy like hot coco, and Ameagari is comfy like hot coffee.

>brown tomboy has twin tiny brown tomboy imoutos

I thought she was brown just because she was tanned.

>>802903

Lolis can be tan too.

>>802903

Aren't they cute?

>>803230

I like yuri as much as the next little girl anon, but she isn't a lesbian, she just is happy that her friend isn't some autistic loser who tries to cut off from society and asked her to the summer festival.

>>803237

Then she sees she's crushing hard on an old guy and breaks down in tears, then runs away crying. Although I think the old guy's wife tops that with that ridiculous pair of glasses and her mannish appearance.

Forgot pic.

Thanks for posting this.

>>802890

>Doesn't want to read LN trash

There is nothing wrong with that.

>>803237

>she isn't a lesbian

Anon, you don't look at your best friend like that unless you got a bad case of the homo.

>>803239

>old guy's wife

Did you even watch the episode? He was clearly an old male classmate. They even talked about the divorced wife named Midori.

>>803388

I'm in love too.

This is easily my AOTS. I love it to bits. I thought this episode (9) was particularly great too. The characters are layered and nuanced, there isn't stupid misunderstandings or relationship drama and we get to see into the lives of two very different people and how they connect with each other. Also, the OP makes me smile every time.

Why would the Tachibana hurt such a pure and innocent tomboy? My heart was not prepared to see her cry.

>>804307

AOTS for me as well. The show is close to perfect.

Why is she so cute?

>>804619

>Its Propaganda to promote degenerate behavior.

>>804702

Tachibana with a bun, the bun is almighty!

>>805080

>not Tachibuna

>>805106

Finally caught up, and I must ask this one question: what did they mean by this?

Pretty good episode.

Oh god, I gave in and caught up on the last week's episode from HS because I figured I'd like to see the finale this week on time with /a/ instead of waiting a week and a day for damedesuyo. I recognized it as a terrible mistake within the first ten minutes.

Skipping past the shit CR translations, the lack of typesetting is painfully obvious in a show that often involves a piece of poetry or an open book popping up on screen.

Here's some screens from two weeks ago.

>>806995

>Chihiro and Tencho's hang out time was really nice.

That's because they are true best friends. The kind that can not talk to eachother for years and still be themselves and open with eachother the moment they meet.

>>809120

Good things come to those who wait. Or so they say. But it's hard to do that knowing that the last episode is out.

>>805310

Akira has a thing for weird stuff like her keychains. the char in the image you posted is one of those, they appear appears in chapters of the mango that weren't animated.

>>809180

>The ending feels very typical for shojo stories

<even though I have no clear idea what "typical" should be.

>open ending

Well, at least it's not like the fucking manga ending.

I've heard the author has taken a lot of shit over the ending, hopefully it'll drive him to suicide or something.

Fuck you, Mayuzuki.

>>809273

My bad, I just remembered the mangaka is female.

I'm not sure if that makes it worse or not.

>>812272

No idea, I dont know jap but it seems like it ended with her running again and being friends with the other girl while still having some sort of a friendship with the manager.

http://rawlh.com/read-koi-wa-amaagari-no-you-ni-raw-chapter-82.html

I'd like to point out another case of Akira's GIANT fucking legs.

>It's been over two weeks and still no episode 12

Thanks DDY, you really came through for me.

I don't even remember where we fucking left off.
