So, has anyone seen this? Last episode aired yesterday.

For me, it's one of those few works which themes have penetrated my heart and message has infiltrated my mind. I think it's really sublime. Every episode has brought me to tears, I'll always carry this anime in my heart.

It's a short story, only 6 episodes long, about life's hardships and the power of empathy. It follows the alien Takopii, who has just landed on Earth, and its mission to spread happiness in the universe. He meets Shizuka, a sad little girl who is bullied at school. Takopii will try to make Shizuka smile, but he still has a lot to learn about humans.

The anime dives into the minds of 3 children who suffer from abuse/trauma and explores themes such as generational trauma, bullism and the effects that a negative environment has on a child's mind, the power of talking, understanding the other and lastly, resilience.

Not only it is a great story, but it's also a beautiful anime. Directing, illustrations, animation, soundtrack and voice acting are all top notch, it's a truly highest-quality adaptation. Speaking of voice acting, Shizuka's VA deserves a standing ovation, never before has a Japanese VA in anime managed to send shivers down my spine like she did.

In short, I think it's a masterpiece and you should watch it.

Great Recommendation, Anon~pi!

I just read the manga rather than watch the anime but I will try watching the anime next.
My thoughts in spoilers It's a sweeter story then I was expecting. I absolutely thought the happy space alien would simply fail over and over again and it would be some grim dark comedy. However as I read it seems the story did have a positive message to say after all. And it's a really good one. The three children's lives were never going to be solved with happy gadgets and nick-nacks but rather the most powerful gadget of all which is talking~pi! Talking allows two individuals to connect with each other and start to empathize. Which was never going to happen with the way the two girls interacted with each other.
It wasn't the space alien so much that solved their issue but it was both girls realizing that they needed someone (not a dog) to support them and surprisingly it was their enemy the whole time~pi!

That's what I meant when I said that it's about the power of empathy! Takopii never actually empathized with any of the kids until the last episode. He saw the world in black and white (Shizuka is bad, Marina is bad), and only thought about helping, without actually understanding the problems that Shizuka, Marina or Azuma were facing. Takopii represents innocence and naivety. At the start, he's as naive as Marina and Shizuka. But unlike them, he gets the chance to see other point of views, and he begins to truly understand their struggles.

Shizuka's monologue in the last episode is simply great. For the first time, she opens up and lets out her emotions, getting out of the fortress she built around her heart and making herself vulnerable. Takopii listens to her, understands her, and despite not having a magic gadget to fix everything (no such things exist! After all, magic isn't real) and not knowing what to do to help her, he's willing to be there for Shizuka and support her. By spending time with her, he realizes that talking and connecting with someone is the real magic. Azuma had the luck of having a good and kind brother, but Shizuka and Marina were truly alone with their horrible familiar problems. Takopii's simple act of empathy of being there for someone echoed through Marina's and Shizuka's minds, who also begin to see each other's point of view. At the end, they're walking together. Not necessarily because they became friends, but because they understand each other, because they empathize with each other and are willing to support each other.

Even if their situations are still horrible, at least they're not completely alone anymore, and that makes everything a lot easier

This is no doubt one of my favorite anime of all time.

I finished watching the original series a day before I started watching the new season, and I didn't really feel like it was any more frantic.
I'd say the 3rd episode was less frantic if anything.

It's a tragedy they never made more than one season of Girls Last Tour...it's such a cozy, nice series.

Does the manga have a longer story? I would love to read it if so, but if it's basically the same as the anime then it might not be worth the time.

First I've heard of it! I'll check it out though, it sounds nice. I'll give the Girls Last Tour manga a read as well then. This will probably make me want to buy another tablet though. When tablets first became powerful and cheap I got one just so I could read manga in comfy spaces.

Admittedly I've been mostly ignoring anime and manga since 2012 or so, when my interests just shifted. For a while after 2010-2012 I'd always check Anichart each season hoping to find something that seemed good but nothing ever stood out. Alas I have evidently missed so many good things, but it's kinda cool and fun because it's like I'm rediscovering what it's like to be an otaku all over again. Finding all these series, manga, VNs, games etc that I have never heard about...

Thanks! ヽ(´∇`)ノ

When i finish the anime do you think i should pick up the manga where the anime ends or read the manga from the beginning?

Yes, the manga does continue after the anime stops. The series is finished, and it's likely that there will never be a second season of the anime, so you should definitely read the manga to the end.

I deeply miss the crafty and niche aspect of otaku culture, subcultures that arent mainstream, maybe offensive, and a focus around the creative aspects of otaku culture as well. It was truly a spirit that came from the heart and wasnt afraid about being socially acceptable. (´ー` )

Nowadays its all sanitized, and consumer oriented, rarely do i hear about people making things.
In the early days of otaku culture people made a lot of things themselves, because merch simply wasnt available - figures for example, dojin games, etc.

How on earth do you facilitate the desire for people to create that kind of environment, i think the demand is there but not enough people know what to DO, how to MAKE things, how to form communities centered around niche subjects, how do we fix that?

Back in 2004 I was obsessed with Japan and would've killed to go there, but nowadays it looks like any other asian country to me.
Heyurizens who went there at that time, was the otaku world depicted by Chaos;Head and Steins;Gate really like that?
>>
>>4960
why u posted booba?
>>
>>4960
Yes it was
Even though it's changed a lot today, I'd still recommend going because it's only going to get more mainstream and commercialized the longer you wait (some people say Ikebukuro is the new Akiba, but idk if I actually believe it yet). And, truth be told, it's not that bad if you walk farther from the station and main streets--though that's also true for the rest of Japan
I went recently and was walking down a big street in Kyoto with all these high-end brands and stores I didn't recognize. I just picked a random side street and started walking. Around a half a mile in, I found the most quaint retro games store, it was great
>>
The energy still exists, it's just different. Compared to even just a decade ago anime/manga became super mainstream. It's normal to love it now. As such, the otaku culture we grew up with (or look back at fondly if you're not that old) became very sanitized as more and more companies were seeking to make profit off this stuff. It's basically the same story with video games. Consoles like Xbox 360 and PS2 came out, then their sequels, games became pretty accessible and mainstream and now we see how that impacted them.

But that's where the indie stuff or smaller game/animation/manga studios come in. There are a growing number of small groups or even individuals that are "bringing back the past". I think that's the best we can get now. The overall culture has changed, so all you can do is try to seek out little niche corners of otaku stuff. Also, time alone will just warp your perception of how you view things. I'm 38 so the way I view and appreciate the things I enjoy is way different than it was at 18 or even 28. It can make newer stuff not feel the same, even if it is...if that makes any sense?
