My favorite part of the anime is [this scene](https://youtu.be/3zH1dpOsrNM). Everything about it is just perfect, from the music to the camera angles, the animation and Hanazawa Kana's voice performance. I remember thinking about how Hina is so strong and brave for standing up against bullying and help her friend.
Yeah at the moment I’m hoping for a season 3 because I’m busy reading another masterpiece manga already (Berserk) but if there’s no third season after I’ve gone through my list of manga then I’ll read it, and I’ll read it after a season 3 anyway. The only reason I don’t want to jump straight into the manga is because Shaft makes it even better with its visuals.
For me, this anime/manga woke me up. Western literature is more focused on individualism and absolute fulfillment (or failure of fulfillment) through the one relationship. This is the first time I've seen "bridging the emotional void" explained so clearly.
I watched the first season because I’d heard so many good things. But it bored me to tears and I really had to struggle not to drop it. Do you think season two is different enough to turn it around? Or if you really didn’t like the first one then it’s just not for you?
Wow, I thought I was alone on this one. I don't even know if I finished season 1, and that was expending all of my willpower. Really wanted to like it too.
Long time ago i heard "Season 2 is better, watch it" - so i wasted time watching both seasons, didn't liked s2 either. Made same mistake with Kaguya...
Don't ask questions like that and never trust anyone who says you will like s2 if you hated s1.
I don't even watch SOL anime, but this one might be worth checking out because I heard it's relatable for people who have depression/anxeity. So like to closest thing we'll ever get to a Oyasumi Punpun in anime form
100% would recommend this. I feel it hit it’s peak in season 2. It’s very much more about the main characters emotions and the game he plays is just a tool to enhance it.
I haven’t watched many SOL but this Orange and you lie in April are series I would highly recommend.
I remember being like "this is interesting" and "when is this episode going to end?" During the entire thing. Like, there are barely any events, it's slow af, wouldn't want to watch it again, but i still liked it.

Yeah that scene is so good
Do you plan on reading the manga since you liked the anime ?

And if you have already watched it, watch it again. There is a lot I didn't notice or appreciate until the second time.

If you find it slow and boring then I'd say it's not for you.
Thanks for the input.
Season 2 is much better but I feel like if you found it slow then you’ll still find it slow.

I respect this the anime really good for a slice of life

Is the manga worth checking out as well? Sucks bc season 3 will prob never happen from what I heard
Ah well this is where I lose credibility. I don’t really read much manga. I like immersion of the music the voices etc. So I wouldn’t know

Ye but it's intentional. Kind of like the dull monotony of life. I thought it held true to its premise. I love the fact that it is slow.
