Default Re: What I just finished watching and what I thought about it 2 (USE SPOILER TAGS)

I don't really know why the other thread was closed, but anyway I'm not letting my last post on it go to waste :D

Just finished ef - a tale of memories. Overall it wasn't bad, i liked the chihiro arc, but the Miyako one was really bland. The drawings/colours were quite nice, but there were too many flaws in the series to my liking.
I didn't like the animation style, sometimes it was totally off the tone of the conversations that were taking place. Dialogues were also pretty weird and felt "staged" at some point, especially when conversations by phone occurred. Finally, I hate it when "slice of life" animes use plot devices that make no sense whatsoever in reality...
how on earth could renji manage to find a SINGLE page of chihiro's diary 24 hours later? Also, these "I don't want to hurt you so let's break up" lines are getting quite old.... Nobody in his right mind would say anything like this in that situation.
But oh well, I liked the ending (even if the outcome was WAY too predictable) so I still give this show a 4/5. It's definitely a must to watch, but I really feel that it's overrated by a lot of people.
