Azumanga is at the sweetspot between a realistic slice of life anime and a less interesting cute girls doing cute stuff anime.
Unlike anime like Nichijou(which I still love) Azumanga is realistic enough to be believable, this makes it possible to relate to the characters better.
Speaking of the characters some are very unique, like Chiyo, Sakaki, Osaka, and their interactions are really original too.
I fell in love with Sakaki.
>>1950 let me tell you about realism in pani poni dash
hint: it doesnt exist to be more specific: too much sitcom, too much "insert your generic autistic anime tropes here like genki, meganekko, moekko etc", too little "girllls that boy is soooo cuttteeee im in LUVVV".
azumanga daioh is clearly an autistic show with cute (also a bit autistic) girls taken directly from some random autistic man's fantasies
i dont hate it but calling it realistic is a bit unrealistic
>>1951 Dunno, when I watched it, it reminded me of my school years...
I'm not saying I had friends who were obsessed with cats or were child prodigies, but overall friendly atmosphere and lame jokes were similar.
>>1951 What i am trying to say is that it is more realistic than most moe slice of life, if you want a anime that focuses on japanese high school realism watch something like Hibike Euphonium.
>inb4 that is also not realistic
We are talking about anime not documentaries, who the fuck cares.
>>1954 >something like Hibike Euphonium
sorry, i didnt watch kyoanishit past the chuunibyou garbage
its just too bad
>We are talking about anime not documentaries, who the fuck cares.
you can do realistic works in fiction
the main point of non-realism in annie may comes from unrealistic relationship and unrealistic optimism, apart from regular stupid shit happening just to move the plot (it doesnt happen always in plot driven anime and is mostly irrelevant for sol anime, though some sols are better than others)
>japanese high school realism
i could watch kare kano, thanks
>>1957 >kyoanishit
is actually pretty good. While it's by far the most feminist studio out there, it's also the studio which makes the best 3+ titties and actually likeable female characters, see violet evergarden, and the production quality is top-notch no matter what you'll watch.
>you can do realistic works in fiction
Fiction ultimately can only be realistic.
>plot
I'm jumping over plots because they suck and are dumb 99% of all time, violet evergarden being one of the few exceptions. OVAs and special episodes are the best because they usually don't have plots.
>>1958 >Fiction ultimately can only be realistic.
le what?
whats your point?
>because they usually don't have plots
strictly speaking, even 1 episode/sol shows have a plot over an episode length or over a subepisode. i wanted to say that even then they can suck
>the best 3+ titties and actually likeable female characters, see violet evergarden, and the production quality is top-notch no matter what you'll watch.
i just find shit made by doga kobo or jc staff superior in every way
>>1960 >gabriel dropout
>not half-bad
your opinion doesnt count instantly lol
that shit will be forever the disgrace of doga kobo for me
>even toradora was shit
i didnt even have it in mind and i wasnt talking about "realistic" anime as well in case your wondering
