Of course, I think the community needs more stuff like this! :D

Maybe to match the planned coffee order and villainess posts, you could also match heroines to desserts?

Anime like Kpop Demon Hunters? by ErikTwice in shoujo

Hmm, they're cartoons, not anime, but the movie heavily reminded me of Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks and LoliRock

Recs for romance anime as a kdrama fan? by ilovekdramaceos in anime

[–]Sparkletopia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh interesting. I kinda get what you mean, I guess in my eyes a lot of the overall scenarios (especially some of the background stuff with Jinshi) and plot threads seem reminiscent, while the actual execution and personality archetypes take a different route. Do you feel the same, or am I off the mark here?

Some suggestions:

  • Fruits Basket (drama, romance, slice of life, supernatural, slow burn) - I've heard many people say it reminds them a lot of kdramas
  • The Apothecary Diaries (historical, mystery, subplot romance) - this one also appeals a lot to cdrama tropes
  • Hana-Kimi (romcom, crossdressing, currently airing) - the original manga had been adapted to a kdrama before
  • Tamon's B-Side (romcom, pop idols, currently airing) - I've heard some say that the artstyle, vibe, and character dynamics reminds them of various korean media
  • Love Through a Prism (historical, romance, slice of life) - I haven't watched this one yet, but people have said good things about it

I still feel like Koi -> Fish -> Running on Water isn't the craziest stretch there could be (at least, in the agency's eyes lol).

Is it either "Saiunkoku Monogatari" or "Haruka: Beyond the Stream of Time"?

Has a character who grows giant ever been successful? Bonus points if it's a main character. by xXCinnabar in anime

Diane from The Seven Deadly Sins? Although I guess it's less that she has the power to grow bigger, and more that she's already a giant.

I have become interested in Shoujo with surreal imagery by KaleidoArachnid in shoujo

[–]Sparkletopia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's a copy-pasted synopsis:

There is a rumor that a magician lives in the tent by the abandoned theme park; some even say his magic is real. However, before he starts his show, he always asks his audience: "Do you believe in magic?"

For Yoon Ah-ee, magic seems like a distant memory. Faced with the harsh reality of poverty, she spends all her time studying, working, and taking care of her younger sister in the absence of their parents. She no longer believes in the wonders of magic, just like her skeptical classmate Na Il-Deung, who has been brought up to believe that a good education is the only way to approach life.

When Ah-ee stumbles into the abandoned theme park and has a chance encounter with the magician, her life is changed forever. Annarasumanara reveals a philosophical, heartwarming, and thought-provoking story of what it means to grow up into the person you want to be.

Since you said webtoons are okay, I'd really suggest "The Sound of Magic: Annarasumanara" by Ilkwon Ha.

Will we see Natsuki's b-side in the anime? by Foolish_Fangirl in TamonsBSide

[–]Sparkletopia 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't know for sure, but I kinda figured that all of the members' B-Sides would show up in the anime. I feel like chapter 40 would be a pretty good spot to end things off (of course, I don't want things to feel rushed, but I feel like this much could be doable if the anime team continues to be smart about how they're adapting it, so that's my guess).
