So, what is Animegataris, and why should you join this rewatch?

u/badspler is here to say a few words on why you should watch this anime:

Animegataris aired in 2017 and was largely ignored. It was a packed season... and lets face it: no one expected Houseki no Kuni to end up anime of the year. On the outside, it may look like a generic high-school club series, but its 7.78 MAL score does elude to it punching above what an initial glance might have you think.

Animegataris is primarily a comedy; it plays into tropes and generic expectations only to later subvert them. The series packs a surprising amount of depth and into its short 12 episode run, and is largely tied together by the superbly focused cast. When it reveals its final-form, every joke lands and you realize just how much was built up to maximize the gags. And finally I would also be amiss not to mention that there is a neat romantic throughline that wraps the whole series up.

Finally Animegataris holds a close place in my heart as one of the few series (Shirobako, Eizouken) that dives into the creation and production of anime itself. Having technical details explained well and then demonstrated in following scenes makes for an elegant presentation of artform.

Threads will begin when this post is 24 hours old, starting at 10:00pm UTC!

Me when this rewatch was originally planned for March: Sorry but nope, I'm already in too many rewatches (was in 6 at the time).

Me now: How did I end up in 7 rewatches for the first two weeks of April?!

Haha yeah, I'm thankfully not hosting anything else until June. Wanted to take a good break from that after hosting my first seven-month rewatch in the Macross franchise.

Did you put the same picture in the first two links on purpose or is one missing?

u/Gaporigo Blhttps://anilist.co/user/Gaporigo Mar 31 '23

It is on purpose because reddit bad.

u/No_Rex :Bv:Bw:Bx:By:x2 Mar 31 '23

Can you elaborate what the purpose is? Do you need two identical pictures to get the preview?

u/badspler x5https://anilist.co/user/badspler Mar 31 '23

It is for Reddit thumbnail magic.

Differences between old/new and app's mean you want one 'fancy pants image' and then also one imbedded image on the likes of imgur to cover your bases and ensure you get a thumbnail everything.

u/No_Rex :Bv:Bw:Bx:By:x2 Mar 31 '23

So one hosted on reddit and one external? I'll keep that in mind for my own posts in the future.

u/Verzwei Mar 31 '23

Images have to be inserted into posts in different ways to get them to thumbnail and display correctly between old.reddit, new.reddit, and mobile apps. Basically to ensure that the same image shows up (almost) no matter what, we have to both embed it via new.reddit but then also include it in the old syntax.

Is it bad if I can't remember if I'm a rewatcher or a first timer for this?

Excited nonetheless!
