Even if it’s a sad story, my inner self says this stylish design is worth checking out lol. Thanks!

You’re a genius! I just watched the preview for Episode 11 of Apocalypse Hotel, and this is exactly my thing! It’s not really related to the whole “light” discussion anymore, but I absolutely love that slightly chic, decayed city vibe—like in Tarkov or NieR: Automata. But there just aren’t many beautiful works set in places like that, you know? That’s what I’d been thinking! And about the light—man, it’s perfect. The scene where the sun is tilted in the evening sky, casting warm autumn-like light on the brownish trees, and the scene where someone is looking up at moonlight filtering through the branches—both are absolutely amazing! Some other people have mentioned syoushimin too, and I thought that sounded good as well. Hyouka looks promising too. I saw some images for Chainsaw Man, and it looks beautiful! It’s super popular in Japan too, so I knew the name but hadn’t watched it. I wonder if I could enjoy it even if I just watched the movie first? Either way, I think the Apocalypse Hotel is the best! Thanks!

I see, just saying “good lighting” was vague, sorry about that. I’m not a pro, and I’m not even a native English speaker, so it’s really hard for me to express it perfectly to get the nuance across to you, but I’ll try my best. What I’m imagining is a slightly muted palette—think a bright green meadow stretching beneath a blue sky, with something like a white brick path winding through it—where light filtering through tree leaves creates delicate patterns that gently touch the characters. But honestly, if you think “Wow! That detailed light description is beautiful!” then any form is welcome! Honestly, all the works everyone’s shared here feel beautiful to me, regardless of any perceived differences in quality.

Now, about the works you mentioned: Record of Lodoss War is truly beautiful! The light is obviously gorgeous, but my first impression upon seeing it was how stylish it was. I’ll definitely check it out. As for Berserk, as a gamer, I recognize it as an undeniably cool anime I can’t ignore. But I’m hesitating to watch it, wondering what if characters die brutally lol. Next, Angel’s Egg caught my attention. I initially imagined sunlight, but this work feels incredibly beautiful and chic with its moonlight. Also, simply put, the protagonist of Bastard!! is so cool it got me interested lol. Thank you for explaining it so carefully!

Ah, I figured. I’ve heard about it a lot since it’s famous in Japan too, but I hesitated because I thought it might be scary if it was a grotesque story. But I guess I’m still curious.

to say it’s absolutely amazing! And I’d totally written off Abyss as just another dark anime set in the depths—turns out I was wrong. As for Miyazaki’s work, I’ve seen plenty of Ghibli films, so I get it—his handling of light is incredible, like I felt watching Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea. I didn’t know he made anime too, but I’ll check them out. Thanks!

I’ve seen other anime where the main character is a jerk at first, and I enjoyed those too, so I’m sure I’ll be able to watch this one just fine! I’m definitely going to see it.

皆さん本当に優しくて助かってます！（Everyone is so kind and helpful!）

I watched the first season of this anime! This artist’s work really does have an amazing art style. Thanks!

I immediately dismissed it as something I didn’t want because of the simple character design, but looking closer, the background is indeed beautiful and refined. Thank you!

I’ve heard that name before. This work is indeed beautiful and captivating—I think it’s almost perfect! Is there something wrong with the character others have mentioned? Either way, I’ll give it a try! Thanks!

What a vivid and beautiful anime world! I’ve heard the story gets a bit heavy, so I’m hesitant, but I think I’ll give it a try! Thanks!

After looking into it, I found out the theme is love and emotions, which made me even more interested!

Oh! I’ve seen this on Netflix thumbnails! Judging by the screenshots, it looks pretty good (especially that second photo is amazing!).

Your Japanese is amazing! I looked up 京騒戯画—it’s an anime with distinctive colors and artwork. Sounds interesting, I’ll give it a watch! おかしな英語でごめんなさい、僕のために日本語で教えてくれてありがとうございます！

The depiction of the harbor feels incredibly refined. The vast sea and blue sky are beautifully rendered—truly wonderful. Thank you for sharing this!

Thank you so much for showing me all of these! Each piece is close to what I imagined, but the top three are especially beautiful! Thank you so, so much!

The lighting is great, of course, but the way the shadows are drawn is what really makes this piece stand out. The shading is unique and really cool. Thanks!

I’d been curious about it because the artwork was so lovely. Thank you!

As a Japanese person, I hadn’t really come across this work before, but looking into it, scenes like the Dota forest are incredibly beautiful. Thank you!

Thank you so much for your kind invitation! That sounds really interesting—I’d love to join! (Everyone’s illustrations are so cute!)
