if I say Magical Girl Site, did enough people watch that to know what I mean?
I hear there's an anime coming out exactly like that, called Stars Align. Hope they get all the resources they need to finish it and it doesn't get cancelled halfway through.Hm,... I'm in the mood for an anime that handles serious issues but in an optimistic way...
I find a lot of 'optimistic' series don't let themselves go anywhere too dark, and a lot of series that do go places that are pretty dark are inherently set up for tragedy. I guess there's the burden of making a series that goes somewhere dark but has an ending that feels 'realistic' and natural to the dark scenario, and the easy answer is for it to end grimly... I'd like more series that touch on real issues but that aren't well... you know... gestures. if I say Magical Girl Site, did enough people watch that to know what I mean? like a lot of edgy series throw a lot of dark elements in to shock and upset the viewer, and honestly, i'm okay with watching an edgy festival but what i really want is more series that handle that with nuance and even optimistically...
nge = nuance. optimistic? no. perhaps bittersweet
occasionally I do see a series that handles a topic like domestic abuse almost saccharinely, which... ahhh i don't know how to put it... I'm not looking for grimdark, but you know, I also want a level of complexity higher than Hallmark film, you know...
