This might be a hyper-vague or weird recommendation request. I'm looking for a show or movie where the characters solve their problems through being good people, or the issues they face don't necessarily facilitate the characters being terrible to each other. Maybe they learn to be a team, and they don't backstab each other to achieve their goals. They basically have to do the right thing, and they choose to do it with their buds being by their side. It sounds like I'm asking for conflict-free, lovely plotless anime, but that's not the case. The closest thing I can think of is Brooklyn 99. The characters have their disagreements, but at the end of the day, they still come through because they like each other. I'm a little burnt-out on backstabbing secretly-evil characters, or everyone just being lovely to service a plot.

Captain Hotbutt posted:This might be a hyper-vague or weird recommendation request. girls und panzer is basically any 90s sports movie with a bunch of misfits learning to be a team, but with tanks. the arc of the show is the protagonist's family having taught her to be lovely in order to win at all costs and her faith in the bunch of misfits she's gathered together being rewarded over the idea of sacrificing any of them or not trusting in them. really i feel like a lot of sports anime would fit this in general. the anime adaptation of it has issues (including that the anime staff dont seem to actually know the rules of american football) but if you're up for a manga, eyeshield 21 is a really fun one since the general gist of every match is that the captain has an insane plan and everyone trusts that it'll work even if they argue about how stupid it sounds.

Galactic Drifter Vifam is a space odyssey adventure of a disparate school group of children separated from their parents when a war breaks out and eventually ending up the sole survivors on a training vessel they learn to operate, becoming a tight knit family in the process as they go through trials and tribulations on their journey back home. It's cool and has a cool theme song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGAieDXxGKY

I started leaning towards finding happy-go-lucky "buds being friends" stuff because of a sports anime - Hanebado - combined with watching Devilman Crybaby recently. I really liked Hanebado (and started playing badminton because of it!) but a lot of the plot was just people being terrible to one another to drive things to the final confrontation. There was release and satisfaction seeing characters grow and develop as the show went along, for sure, but I was getting burnt out on "I will destroy you", "my mom left me because I wasn't good enough", and "you aren't working hard enough so I'm going to make you quit". I understand that stories need conflict to drive things and that everything would be boring as hell if it was all sunshine and roses. I'm just trying to escape the "everybody acts like garbage all the time" trap. Ever since Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones or whatever got all-consuming-influential, entertainment's been "terrible people act terribly and they will reap the harvest of their terrible actions, but only if we treat them as terribly as they treat everyone else." Probably why I gave up on Devilman Crybaby, even though I love Masaaki Yuasa's work normally. Thanks everyone! I will check out the recommendations, and thank you for letting me get on my soapbox for a bit.

Hanebado was pretty unique like that, at least in terms of other sports anime. Like there's definitely more melodramatic shows and ones that leverage more intense rivalry but I can't think of any that are so uh trauma-driven as Hanebado was

Captain Hotbutt posted:This might be a hyper-vague or weird recommendation request. Am I missing something by recommending A Place Further than the Universe? How come this has not been recommended yet? There are two examples of conflicts/backstabbing that I can think of but not by the central characters of the show, and the other works in a rather positive way for the group dynamic, I feel. edit: also Captain Hotbutt posted:(...) I really liked Hanebado (and started playing badminton because of it!) (...) Was it really that good? I couldn't stomach starting to watch it because I returned to badminton thanks to university sports but injured myself in a way which makes me scared to play it ever again since my other calf muscle is now hosed.

ninjewtsu posted:dude, seriously, you've seen mob psycho right? Not yet! Starting this weekend because of this thread. Endorph posted:If you want a sports show from the same season as Hanebado that's much nicer, check out Harukana Receive. There's some moderate fanservice elements but it's about beach volleyball so it at least fits in naturally, and since it's a 2v2 sport it's all about trusting your partner. Will look into it! Thanks!

So far I'm not really getting grabbed by Haikyu. I'm on the seventh episode, so I don't know if it'll start to grab me more. It hasn't focused a ton on the training aspect as much (it did a little bit before they started the first 3 on 3 match), does it get into it more in the future? I'll stick with it if there's a certain threshold of episodes where it tips a certain way. So before coming here I've watched: Hajime No Ippo (loved it) Hunter x Hunter (loved it) From this thread I was recommended Run with the Wind, which I also loved, and Haikyu I'm a little meh on. Thanks for the help guys!

They haven’t even assembled a full team yet where you’re at nor have they met their main big rivals so I say keep going at it since you’re still in the building the team phase.

I'd stick with it a little longer. To make a comparison with HxH, you're in Heaven's Arena right now. There's a _lot_ of tablesetting going on, but it does pay off. Otoh, don't force yourself to watch something you don't enjoy.

I feel a sudden urge to read Samurai/feudal Japan-based comics, the more hosed up the better, which is usually pretty easy since the feudal system was insanely hosed up. I've read the usual suspects (everything by Kazuo Koike, Jin, Shigurui, Vagabond, Blade of the Immortal, Ooku), anything else out there? My only request is they aren't based around cooking because I'm kind of over cooking-based mangas at the moment.
