Have you ever seen true love in anime? Not to be confused with that "pure love" that never goes anywhere

Purity is the ideal people should strive for. And anime, as an aesthetic medium should be idealistic.

That'd be limiting the medium. There's room for both.

There are other media for the unaesthetic and degenerate. Live action film for example.

Purity is otaku pandering garbage

White Album 2. Just try it.

This is leftist SJW rhetoric. Purity is an ideal that not just otaku should strive for but it is a societal ideal. If you want to see ugliness look at western live action film that has been thoroughly ruined by Hollywood Jews.

...

I'm getting mixed signals here. You criticize leftists then proceed to spout leftist bullshit.

...

>Blaming Jews
>leftist bullshit

Que?

That's not love user. That's denial. And i'ts o-okay to run away sometimes!

...

Molester man

Also Itsuki and Haruhi (one way only in that case)

We are not talking about your imagination though.

Yeah, between Junichi and Rihoko.

yeah well your waifu a shit how about that motherfucker

>One sided love is true love
Retard

There is absolutely nothing leftist about what I wrote. Art has a duty to fulfil and the National Socialist Slogan "Die Kunst dem Volke" (Art belongs to the people), is the embodiment of that duty.

Joseph Goebbels wrote that art must fulfil certain requirements that are demanded of its purpose and outward expression. It must appeal to a feeling of beauty and harmony that is present within the people itself - most of all a natural, innate beauty and harmony in order to resist the process of degeneration led most of all by Jews who lack this innate sense of beauty and propose a scepticism of intellect rather than idealistic beauty as art's expressive goal. Goebbels characterised in this Jewish art a glorification of vice and the abnorm. The unheroic, the ugly, the sick and rotten is put on the pedestal of artistic ideal.

And this is exactly the language you speak if you want to see the ugly rather than the pure and aesthetic, mocking it as "otaku pandering". It is the language of Hollywood Jews.

Good thing it isn't one sided then. I mean, you have watched more than a few episode right?

what is love

baby don't hurt me

wow Cred Forums has even managed to stink up this place

it's really over isn't it. Cred Forums is just the loser alt-right clubhouse now

At some points they seemed more like male friends than adolescent lovers of sort.

All memes aside this really was as true a love as anyone could see. Of course that's exactly what made everything that happened afterwards all the more devastating.

...

It's pretty one sided. Ataru likes stringing her along, sure, but he will instantly forget about her the moment he sees someone else.

Your rhetoric betrays you as an outside who doesn't even belong here. It's time for you to really go back to /reddit/ now.

I think you've over-idealized anime. It's more about fantasy than expressing an ideal of beauty that should be aspired to.

t. virgin

Ataru is a male tsundare when it comes to Lum. He refuse to show any emotions to her, but as soon some is trying to hit lum or she is leaving him, he takes action.

They also end up back together at the end of even after all the stuff that happened in that episode.

Simple as that.

As much as the show turned sour, I think this is pretty true love as it gets

How come this thinly veiled recommendation thread hasn't been deleted yet?

Not everyone has your paranoid obsession with whether or not other people are trying to be super sneaky to get a recommendation instead of just going to /wsr/ or literally any other site where people won't start shrieking about recommendations and spoonfeeding not being allowed.

I think you're misunderstanding here. Expressing an ideal of beauty does not necessarily mean that ugliness cannot be shown. It is a matter of how it is presented. In western live action film one can find a glorification of the ugly. The anti-hero, often in form of a criminal or otherwise deviant is glorified. Female sexual promiscuity is presented as a good thing, something to strive for, etc.
In anime, you don't have this. Japan is a more collectivist society and in that regard the artists still feel an obligation to transmit certain values through their work. Even if the ugly is to be seen, it usually serves the purpose of contrasting the pure and aesthetic.

I need a sexhair in my life.

I do get what you meant about ugliness, I just think that you're being rather unfair to both mediums by painting them as being a single way. All creators transmit values through their work, but the individual author affects it at least as much as the culture itself does.

I'm describing a tendency not a rigorist imperative that all individual pieces are subject to.

Love Laika in idolmaster is the only example that comes to my mind, you could see that characters actually trusted and cared for each other

>tfw no sexhair in your life

Fair enough.

>For most people their foremost wish is to know oneself
>Their foremost wish was "I want to know you"
>I believe it cheapens it to label it, but that is "love"

A homo example, but pic related. Two fucked up aloof people who fixed each other's lives and many lifelong issues. No wonder one of the closing manga chapters about them was called Love Is Love's Own Reward.

Stupid author that wrote himself in a corner.

It's because they basically knew by around the end of Crest that they were meant for each other and there was no real need to say it, plus, there were more pressing matters to come before their romance.

So. OTP thread?

No, but I see it in VNs all the time

Kare Kano. The manga more so than the anime.

What's the difference with the manga? I thought the romance in the anime was masterfully developed.

These niggas get it

CCS exemplifies the distinction even more when you look at Sakura's affection and how differently it manifests when she is with Yukito, her dad, XiaoLang and Mizuki.

Her saving him half dead is one of my favorite scenes in anime.

Molester man was based but
>Have you ever seen true love in anime
Not going to happen user, onahole qt will never be realized

Well, mostly that the manga went further and concluded properly. The anime did do it masterfully, as far as it actually adapted, but not so well as to actually do it better than the source material. Precious few manage that. This did come closer than most, though.

Honestly VNs are better at showing true love. Mostly because they have the luxury of time.

Sounds like Stockholm syndrome when you bring Cred Forums into it.

Love is blind as the saying goes.

She would probably have loved Griffith more had he accepted her feelings

Romance in anime is lame. When it comes to intimate relationship there's not really any good example. Nips in general is averted to over intimate relationship.

You're literally retarded

I have never seen true love in real life. And never seen parent love either.

Yeah but only once.

It's the love between me and my waifu.

Definitely. She and Guts didn't know each other all that well and had very little in common. As Casca herself said, their "love" was just licking each other's wounds briefly.

Miura just had them fuck so the Eclipse would be worse.

Still, they probably could have gone some places in a better world.

It was subtle but If you paid attention to it, you could notice how they cared for each other throughout the show.

Stop watching anime for manchildren and literal children then.

Because you can't find real love, user. You have to build it. And since it's more like a private understanding, a relationship like that is not really visible to other people.

That's some fluffy looking hair.

This.
