Episode 1001: Time-tested anime series

Where to start watching Japanese animated sagas and never finish.

Hundreds of episodes, full-length sequels, years, or even decades on the air - the universe of kissanime series can scare off monumentality, especially if you are out of school age. Our shortlist will help you navigate the world of young detectives, schoolgirls with superpowers, and teenagers who are just learning the world, experiencing dramas worthy of great literature. Only time-tested shows, stories like Conan Doyle with Chesterton and atmospheric animation!

"Whims of Orange Street"

48 episodes + full-length film + 8 episodes for sale on videotapes (1987-1989) + full-length video "New Whims of Orange Street" (1996)

It all started with the space television ratings of Orange Street in the late 1980s. The era of cartoons about robots, super thieves, Andersen's characters, and Christmas orphans has ended, a new era of Miyazaki has dawned, where the real world is in full view, and a drop of magic is needed, just to make it brighter. It is no coincidence that the main anime singer of everyday life Makoto Shinkai, in the finale of the highest-grossing Japanese cartoon "Your Name" (2016), sent his greetings to the prologue of "Orange Street" (the hero and heroine of "Imeni" meet on the same steep street stairs). And it is not without reason that the only TV movie that Studio Ghibli was worthy of was "The Ocean Heard Here"(1993) - the project was started only to work with the creator of Orange Street, director Tomomi Mochizuki.

On Orange Street, ordinary red-haired boys obsessed with porn magazines and discos study, and the desired drop of magic is the ability of family members of the protagonist, a ninth-grader Kyosuke, to telekinesis. However, they use their super-gift, mainly to wind around the apartment and the balcony of the cat Jingoro. The cat is another must-have ingredient in netizenbuzz stories.

The plot revolves around the most trivial of the problems - the love triangle. A seventh-grader is in love with Kyosuke, and he is in love with her friend and his classmate. And he is afraid of offending the youngest, pushing him away, but he does not dare to confess to a peer. Meanwhile, life goes on, Kyosuke grows up, and his insoluble dilemma exacerbates the damn questions of maturity.

The drawing in "Street" is made in the spirit of "Soyuzmultfilm" of the Khrushchev times, and this gives a special psychedelic charm to the viewing: a kind of "Vovka in the Far Away Kingdom", where seventh-graders smoke, ninth-graders drink and beat bikers, and the boys give Travolta for the sweetest ballads the guys from Wham! would have hanged themselves.

ART THAT SHOWS HOW JAPANESE FASHION HAS CHANGED OVER 10 YEARS

Image
Today, girls in Japan look very different than ten years ago. It can be difficult to keep up with the fashion world, especially in Japan, where fashion trends are constantly evolving rapidly. Japanese Twitter user and artist Satoimoya ( @ petit_flare ) is following this development very carefully and with the help of a simple art that has been surfing the Internet lately, she decided to show us how modern Japan’s fashion has changed over ten years. Having depicted two girls on the kissanime , the author shows that now there is the fashion in non-contrasting and not too saturated colors, which Satoimoya calls “Hikizan Fashion” (“Minus Fashion”).

What a fashionista from 2010 shows from head to ...
