Perfect way to end the performance.

Am I the only person not emotionally affected by this show? Love the show because of it's subject matter, but emotionally I found it shallow. Really not brought to tears by all the cliche "baka [MC's name]!" *MC gets kicked by lead girl who breaks into tears* sort of moments. It's just so cringy and typical, I've seen everything this anime has done 100x before and I haven't even been watching anime for very long. I dunno what it is about anime fans but somehow for most of us it seems the same poo poo works over and over again. Like there's a formula for anime, all you have to do is plug in the character names and people will actually enjoy it somehow even when they've seen the exact same formula done a dozen times before. How does it not get boring just seeing the same poo poo get repeated over and over again?

Replace anime with network tv/dramas/movies/genre books. People just like certain types of plots and will watch/read it even if it's been done before. Theoretically most stories have been done before at some point in history, just with different execution.

I think the most poignant scenes were the reveal about Saki's despair and true intentions and the ending sequences of Arima's last performance. I didn't feel that they were all that cliche'd or forced at all. One was sad and one was happy sad. Both were well done imo. But I'm kind of a sucker for family stuff, Clannad afterstory wrecked me

picks up copy of joseph campbell's the hero with a thousand faces, feverishly scribbling in notebooks, typing away on my laptop, putting pictures of things on cork boards and connecting them with lines of yarn like they do in the csi shows when finally i take off my glasses and look towards the sky and say "my god it's like its all been done before..."

It's true that it's not something exclusive to anime, but I feel it's more prevalent in anime than anything else. A lot of the big titles that often get discussed during a season change things up and break away from the norms but 90% of what gets released each season I just recycled garbage imo. Just don't get how someone can see a scene like the one I described, where the MC get's kicked by a girl who loves him and be sitting there crying "abloo bloo bloo." When Tsubaki kicked Arima and then confessed to him I just rolled my eyes. Really not understanding how after someone has seen that exact thing done a million times it can still work on them.

Good work is in the execution, not the ideas. The same ideas will appear, again and again, throughout time. It's why two people can paint the same landscape and one can be a work of art and the other a cheap cash-in that you see on one of those vendor carts in malls. Because the idea, while important, is secondary to how the idea is conveyed and the effort and talent behind it.

I'm talking about entire plot lines basically just being copied and pasted with only the names of characters changed.

It's less about what the storyboard was and more about how well it was executed. The art was great and the directors knew how to get the most out of the scene. It's also entirely possible that this just isn't your cup of tea and waiting for the next Ergo Proxy is more up your alley.

I can see where you're coming from, but is there really that much room for innovation in a high school romance story? I'd say we already stepped out of the norm with the ending we got.

If there is a giant Shigatsu-shaped hole in your heart, you can try reading March Comes in like a Lion (Sangatsu). It's not as intense, but it's more thoughtful and there is more emotional depth to many more characters. Written by the Honey and Clover mangaka. I give it a few years before they make an anime of it and the translators get off their butts and finish it off.

Too much of the show was poetry as a substitute for plot or development. I still think that overall this was a pretty unique show even if it did try really hard sometimes to seem generic.

I think I liked it more when it was implied that she fell for Arima when he started maturing and getting over his trauma (btw, remember how angry we used to be about this possibility?), this new thing about how she had a crush on him ever since they were little and made up a way to get close to him stinks of "my pure waifu can't have possibly loved another man before me" Btw, the only original romance stories today can only be about homosexual relationships, or weird things like Turing and his machine in The Imitation Game.

Amusingly, one of the comments on either Crunchyroll or one of the manga sites accidentally predicted her lie when they joked about what the lie was. Admittedly, it's not a hard prediction to make, since someone here basically commented that this was just another "too good for this world" girl who was gonna fix the main character's problems plotline, but it amused me nonetheless in hindsight.

Is it good that I knew her lie from moment one? Also it's sort of the theme of the show, characters discovering themselves. So sure I knew but it was fun and sad to watch the process.
