Good romance/drama manga?




Sonador


Some of my favorites are Mars, Akuma de Sourou, Hanatsukihime, Cat Street, Rockin' Heaven, Hana Yori Dango, Red River, orange...etc

I don't like popular ones like Ouran Host Club, Vampire Knight, Kaichou wa Maid Sama, Dengeky Dais, Beast Master, Moe Kare, Black Bird, Say i Love You, Kare Kano and similar.

Also I read really a lot of manga, somewhere about 200, so please no common/popular titles...
Maybe something newer, that started airing in 2011/2012? Or some older ones that are not so well known but good and underated.

And please no Naruto, Bleach, Bleach, Full Metal Alchemist etc. also...
I like romance, drama, slice of life, psyhological, fantasy, supernatural and little comedy...
No yuri, yaoi, ecchi, shounen... Smut is fine.

Thank you and 10 points for best answer. :)



Answer
Rec Kimi ga Naita Hi (FINISHED)
--- Aizawa Minami is a girl who has never cried. She prefers to observe life through the lens of her camcorder, as she is an awkward and serious person. Because of this her classmates shun her, but she ignores it and occupies herself with recording the things she likes. One day she meets Satoru, a classmate and retired actor who seems to understand her. They quickly become close, but what Minami doesn't know is that Satoru is hiding a big secret from the world...
--- This drama romance is one of the best manga I've ever read. It's only 4 chapters, but I couldn't stop thinking about it all day after I finished it. It's beautiful.

Kimi ni Shika Kikoenai (FINISHED)
--- Aihara Ryo is a shy highschooler who is shunned by everyone. She doesn't own a cell phone because no one would call her anyway. So she imagines owning a cell phone in her head, but one day there is a connection, and someone is on the line! And thus begins an interesting friendship...
--- This 5-chapter manga packs an emotional punch. It hit me in a kinda sorta similar way to Orange, sad and sweet. I can't tell you any more without ruining it, but it's definitely one of my favorites!

Hajimari no Niina (PUBLISHING)
--- Niina is a cute and energetic 11-year-old girl who is very special. She still has the memories of her past life as a girl named Chitose who died at age 15. One of these memories is a promise she made to her boyfriend Atsurou. Now, as Niina, she wants to fulfill the promise she made so long ago. But can she?
--- This manga is ongoing, with 9 chapters out currently, and I love it so far. It's sweet and sad at the same time, and the main character is really cute.

Dear Green (FINISHED)
--- Aoi has always been the delinquent kind of girl, not taking her future seriously. She's always being compared to her talented older sister, and she's fed up with it. As a child she loved to play the flute, but she gave up because of her lack of self-confidence. One day when she is in her secret hiding place, she meets a genius photographer named Yohsuke. Can he give her the confidence to move on in life?
--- I almost never like romance one-shots because the love always feels rushed and fake when it's squished into one chapter like that. But this one is different. It's sweet and refreshing.

Akuma to Love Song (PUBLISHING)
--- Touzuka High School is a public school with a pretty low grade point average. One day, a girl named Kawai Maria transfers in after being expelled from the state's top private girls school (St. Katria) for being violent. She's beautiful, but her bristly personality, arrogance, and brutal honesty quickly isolate her from most of the class... except for two very opposite boys...
--- This manga is ongoing, with 59 chapters released so far. It's not your typical romance shoujo manga. The characters are unique and complex, and you find out more about them and their pasts as you read. It's a great romance drama.

Hana to Akuma (FINISHED)
--- 14 years ago, Vivi (a demon) decided to leave the demon realm and come to earth. There he found an abandoned baby girl and on a whim decided to keep her, naming her Hana. 14 years later, they are still living together, with Hana confused about her feelings for him and Vivi thinking of himself as her guardian and nothing more. But is their life together really that simple?
--- This manga is 58 chapters, and is a blend of drama, comedy, romance, and cuteness, with a smidge of demon-realm danger thrown in.
http://www.mangahere.com/manga/hana_to_akuma/

Hotarubi no Mori e (FINISHED)
--- Hotarubi no Mori e is 4 chapters long, and each chapter is a separate love story. Chapter #2 is titled "Hotarubi no Mori e", where the manga got its name. That chapter was recently turned into an anime movie with that same title, which is just as good as or maybe better that the original story. I love both so much.
---Chapter #2 is about a little girl named Hotaru who goes on summer vacation and gets lost in an enchanted forest, where she meets a spirit named Gin. He helps her find her way back but won't let her touch him, because a human's touch makes a spirit disappear forever. Hotaru and Gin become friends, and she begins to visit him in the forest every day of summer vacation, year after year.

Amateur movie making professional camcorder suggestion?




Justin Har


I'm looking to buy a professional movie making camcorder. I have looked around I have been on Google and I have entered top 10 best movie making camcorders. They don't really lower my searches down. I'm looking for something that has good sound quality. Something that takes good videos inside and outside. Something that i can use to enter film festivals with and stuff like that. I was also wondering if anybody knew any good movie making software. Thanks to all that can help me.


Answer
Camcorders which use Mini Digital Video tapes (popularly called mini DV) are the best. Such camcorder records digital video on tape. A Mini DV camcorder captures video in what is known as Real Time format and thereby stores more detail than camcorders which uses DVD, flash memory and hard disc.

Videos shot from cameras other than that which uses tape/Mini DV, are not meant for editing. As such they don't help in making videos worth keeping for future.

All Hollywood videos are shot with cameras which uses tape like Mini DV.
Besides, getting familiar with tapes also helps in going professional as all professional cameras use tapes, not DVD or hard disc or flash memory.

Personally, I'm using a Sony HDR HC9E for making semi-professional videos.
Sony HDR HC9E which is HD is a simi professional camera and it is moderately priced.
You may view the rusult of this cam at my youtube page:

(This video is only the compressed format in flv)

My other camera is Sony DCR HC27. Its really a cheap one which shoots great video.
You can go for the latest Sony camcorders which has the series "DCR HC__".
The DCR HC__ series are real cheap yet captures great Video that even TV stations accepts footages taken by this mini DV cam.

Budget professional camcorders?




Nick


I'm looking for a good camcorder priced between £200-500 (secondhand is OK) for high quality filming. It must have the following: wide angle lense with 20X optical zoom (or interchangeable lenses), external microphone port, and SD card compatibility. I like the Canon Legria HF 25, and the older Canon DM-XM 2, but was wondering if there were any other decent camcorders with a slightly lower price range?


Answer
Define "professional camcorder".

My definition of a "professional camcorder" is one with a large lens diameter (67mm or larger), large imaging chip system (1/3" or larger - or APS-C imager) in a 3CCD or 3CMOS configuration and XLR audio inputs.

The Canon Legria HF G25 is a prosumer grade camcorder. It does not have an interchangeable lens system. You can add screw-mount lenses to the 58mm lens thread mount - or you can add a DoF adapter to allow an interchangeable lens system.

Even used, if the equipment needs to be working, there is no "professional camcorder" in your price range. Unless you have a different definition of "professional camcorder" than I do - if s, please let us know what that it. From what I've seen, the Sony NEX-EA50UH is the "entry level"...
