List and discuss anime and manga that made you cry, try to avoid spoilers when discussing and only mention them when it's necessary to discussion. Ones that I've watched and read lately:

- JoJo: all deaths in part 3 are very impactful, part 5 too, I was less moved by the ones on part 6 and part 4.

- Ressentiment (Hanazawa): not a sad story mostly but the ending was really terrible and had me gasping and sobbing, possible that it's particular to me and won't be as impactful for others.

- Welcome to the NHK: what was moving was the conjunction of music and imagery within the frame of the story rather than the development of the story itself. ED always made me wistful.

- Clannad: "well-crafted."

These are the ones I remember off the top of my head.

THE Feature of 2forum is the ability for posts on boards to refer back to posts on blog pages, so it needs to be as clean and frictionless as possible. Unlike blogs, feeds, and boards for which there are clear time-tested references, ie. twitter and imageboards, there is no clear precedent to take from here, which is a big issue since it's the feature that makes or breaks it.

I have objections to the way it is implemented right now. The ability to reply to blogposts with other blogposts was explained by Ryu Hayabasa to me with the posited situation of "a man that sees an article and wants to formulate an article as a reply to it." For this I'll take that idea of blog x blog interaction as canonical. You could formulate objections to giving facilities for that use with quote style embeding, but whether it is good idea or not is beside the point. The current design thinks you being able to link to another blogpost on your own blogpost implies that you need to have a fully decked out reply box for that purpose. This facility is shared with the mechanism with which you make a post that has a link to a blogpost on the boards. I think this combination of two different types of content is bad and will tend to confound people. It's especially bad that these blogposts-replying-to-blogposts are collated and presented in the way replies on threads are, and the box is positioned to seem like a thread reply.

My idea is that there should be one single, highly visible textbox on blogposts, a label which should say something like "talk about this on ___", upon pressing it, the post making interface (which should be homologeneous between all views) unfolds and you are able to write a post which is the posted to the board of your choosing.

The possibility of linking other people's blogposts on your own should be handled in some other menu, or perhaps if when viewing the blogpost via a button, far away and labeled clearly and distinctly from the one that makes blogpost-linked board posts.

Ideally, you wouldn't see blogposts and boardposts that link to the blogpost you're viewing on the same tab. They're completely separate types of content.

In the horridly low budget looking Mickey Mouse Clubhouse 3D animation and in general in cartoons from the 00s the characters would ask questions aimed at the toddler audience like "do you want to come into my clubhouse?" which you were supposed to answer to with a bovinely elongated "yeeees" as the retarded zogling child you are, but I as an emo 8 year old relished in telling mickey I did not want to, with an intelligent nihilistic smirk on my face. I think this trait, much like returning the shopping cart at a walmart, can serve as a sociological distinction between high trust, rule following people, essentially "first worldist", and low trust people with tendencies towards ressentiment. I invite everyone to expand on this since it's such a promising area of investigation and to supply any dimension of analysis that might have escaped me in my quick consideration of the issue
