40 Days of Anime - Day 11
Aug. 25th, 2017 10:19 am11: What is your favorite drama anime?
How are we defining drama again? Google gives me lists that includes everything from ATTACK ON TITAN (which I have not watched, as I know just enough spoilers to know it's really, really Not To My Taste) to ANGEL BEATS (which I also haven't watched, because it's also Not To My Taste, albeit on the other end of the spectrum). On the other hand, it also tells me that Drama includes PUELLA MAGI MADOKA MAGICA (which I loved, although I haven't watched any of the other series or movies), COWBOY BEBOP (of which I have only seen the movie, and damn it's depressing, but I can respect the craft involved), AKIRA (I can understand why it's a classic but I never want to watch it again), and damn near everything Studio Ghibli ever made.
Having been reminded that I can totally pick movies, though, I'm going to go for SUMMER WARS. I first encountered the movie via an AMV that entirely focused on the Virtual Reality side of the movie, which is a big part but not nearly all of it. Also it's beautiful, and allows all its (large!) cast of characters a moment in the sun, and its Wikipedia entry doesn't nearly give it enough credit.
