That feel when you watch something truly heartwarming and you feel empty afterwards
Also, that feel when you can't listen to a certain song without tearing up after watching a certain show.
A fair number of people here already know what I'm talking about, so I'll leave it at that so I don't sound like I'm wanking.
Comments
I know that feel. And from the same show you're talking about.
And yet I'm not Forzare.
give it a few minutes.
it'll happen soon.
^ What, INUH turning into Forzare?
SHOKKU!
to me everest, forzare and inuh are all one, but i didn't mean that.
now i do, though.
It would explain why I agree with INUH on moderation decisions so often.
So can you guys fusion dance and become some sort of super-mod?
I know that feel, only instead of show, visual novel, I guess?No wait, I get this with Life and Death from Lost too, so never mind.
Considering that it's three people, I'd expect a megazord.
Worth a shot.
Which visual novel?
Or, you know, we could solve forum problems by becoming a robot, that works, too.
which visual novel do you think
ooh ooh ooh ooh i know
is it a lolicon thingy
It's Steins; Gate, isn't it?
^^^ Wait, Higurashi, really?
^ I can understand that Steins;Gate would have gotten better if I'd had the patience for it, but was it really on that level, or should I say, that sort of work?
I was deliberately missing the point, and sadly haven't been able to get a working VN so I couldn't tell you.
That said, the anime did have me incredibly emotionally invested and certain things that happened broke my heart so...
It's this song, for the record:
^ Hmm. Very well (don't feel like putting headphones in at this hour). I'm still stuck on the shitty anime.
I liked the anime, but the VN is like a million billion times better.
Also it made me cry so much, you don't even know.
Wait, was ^ to me or to Malk?
That was to you, Forz. If it helps, I only watched the first season of Higurashi, not Kai. I didn't have the patience for Steins;Gate, but I wouldn't call it shitty, whereas I still can't get over the animation for Higurashi.
I really, really recommend reading the VN. You probably won't love it as much as I did (practically impossible for anyone to love anything as much as I love Higurashi), but it's still really, really good. The anime really kind of butchered it.
Really good.
And IT TUGS AT YOUR HEARTSTRINGS MAN
TUGS RIGHT ON EM
And yeah, Higurashi's animation was pretty shit. Especially in the first season.
Noted. Although I think I might have spoiled myself on some of the major events already. And after the original subject of this thread, I'm not sure how anything else will compare, as far as emotional weight goes.
Here here man.
@Everest: Steins;Gate is a lot like Baccano, slow and confusing at first but picks up rapidly afterwards.
Doctor Who (Many more times than you could possibly count, but Doctor's Wife's the one that comes to mind most immediately)
Martian Manhunter's funeral (dat oreo. ;~;)
Ashes to Ashes' ending (And David Bowie's "Heroes", for that matter)
Buffy and Angel's finales.
The Great Gatsby.
hurm, i'm sure there've been more. Spiderman recently did that too, but I can't quite remember what was the issue
ETA: Oh, yeah, when Spider-man joins the Fantastic Four/Future Foundation.
^^ But I was actually at least sort of invested in Baccano! for the first few episodes. Or at least, invested enough that I was actually able to finish the series (and I did quite like it in the end). Steins;Gate didn't confuse me for what should have been apparent that they wanted apparent; it was just slow, and I couldn't really stand Hououin's mad scientist shtick.
^ Wait, The Great Gatsby, really? I remember that I was chronically really sleepy during AP Lang & Comp (didn't stop me from getting a 5 on the AP exam, which should say something about the class itself), so I sorta skimmed it and don't remember much of it, but it wouldn't have stricken me as heartrending. Actually, I remember enough of it that I definitely wouldn't have had that reaction.
The anime bored me. I can't really remember anything about it and I got about ten episodes in.
Baccanno would have been a better show if it was just twelve episodes of Isaac and Miria.
^^ What, Baccano!? I guess we just have patience for different things, then. Not like it hasn't been established numerous times that our tastes outside of moeshit clash. :P
^ As much as I liked Baccano! anyway, I can definitely get behind this idea.
Well, the ending was pretty heartbreaking, but there was something about Gatsby revealing his truth to the rest of the cast that made him too endearing to me, for some reason.
I can't remember a book ever making me cry.
I think I need the music.
Shit, this topic made me want to go reread Higurashi.
I remember liking Gatsby well enough (probably one of the only things I did like about it), but I don't remember being that invested in it. Might just be me.
Same. I also can't get scared when reading horror.
No one say anything.
yeah, well, a lot of what made Gatsby good to me was >Shit going on in my life so I wouldn't really lessen your judgment of the book for it.
I don't think I actually cried during my read of Gatsby, but there are very few things that have actually made me cry. It still made me feel, and that matters, right
