This is so far the only Shaft show I've never watched before, the phony title and the mid-2000s artstyle are giving me a Clannad impression so far.
What am I getting myself into?

The best anime romance drama there is.

Lots of melodrama with perfect execution making some of the best in anime

Shit anime, good VN.

A forgettable anime. VN is better.

shit VN, good anime

Kei should have won

I can't remember this anime very well, but I think music in it was enjoyable.

It's a masterpiece. VN is still better.

>A forgettable anime. VN is better.
If this anime is forgettable, than I don't want to know what isn't according to you.

And character design is phenomenal.

A hidden gems, both anime adaptation and sourse vn.

Story-wise it isn't, WA2 is better.
Production-wise, it really is. Just looking at this still gives me goosebumps.

>What am I getting myself into?
The only good Shaft show.

Tsukuyomi.

I have to say I loved the show. I still need to give the VN a go but maybe when I can find it at a good price.

>Story-wise it isn't, WA2 is better.
Why would anyone compare it to WA2? Completely different setting and story.

>anime romance drama

>maybe when I can find it at a good price

Buy it from the Torrents store.

A solid 6/10. Bad source material carried by visually-pleasing-but-seen-before directing. I honestly dropped melodies despite loving it when anime is aesthetically pleasing.

He's right

>Makoto Shinkai backgrounds. His only tv series work
>Good story
>Shaft, but not meme ironic comedy parody or some sports/games shit.

Kappa

Reminder that in the VN Yuuko was run over while trying to save Miki, which is why Miki blamed herself her whole life and why she thought Yuu hated her. Also reminder that Yuuko was pregnant at the time with Yuu's baby and Yuu had just managed to convince her to keep the baby and live together as a family despite her not wanting to because she didn't want to put more weight on Yuu and almost stabbing herself. Shaft a shit.

>His only tv series work
Shinkai only did the VN OPs, this isn't his work.

Everyone know that melodies is awful. But I think Memories handled its story better than the VN.

shaft's best work

monogatari shitters will till you otherwise but rest assured they're dead fucking wrong

Calling melodies awful is hyperbole. The change to Renji's ending in memories is the best change from the anime.
