Well, Beck has several significant and important musical numbers in it because it's about a band. But I wouldn't call it a musical.

I guess if you squint and look at it sideways, Macross Frontier could qualify as "musical".

Yeah I'm not counting K-on! and Beck cause the singing makes sense in context. Nerima Daikon Brothers sounds like the sort of thing I'm looking for though. Maybe Red Garden too but I can't remember any Gonzo shows I've liked.

I enjoyed watching Summer Wars and The Girl who leapt through time a lot. I know about the latest movie Mamoru Hosoda made (wolf children) but is there anything else out there that resembles his work?

I want to plug Princess Tutu here, not because it's a musical but because the way it tells its story and its music are both different enough from the normal anime fare to be notable. Also it's surprisingly good and worth finding excuses to introduce to more people.

Also, I didn't really get why people liked Summer Wars. It felt kinda, you know, like "Okay, yup. There it is." Not bad or anything, but I was very ambivalent towards it for some reason. Maybe check out Wings of Honneamise or Garden of Words or something, too? It sounds like you are wanting some slower moving but good quality not quite slice of life type of stuff. That's a horrible description, but whatever. I know I'm dumb.

I'd second the recommendation for Wings of Honneamise but that's because it's probably my favourite anime movie of all time and too many people don't know that it exists.

Drifter posted:What about 5 Centimeters per Second? Wings of Honneamise is a great and under-appreciated film (well except for one scene that made me reeeeeally uncomfortable), but surely we can all agree it does not really resemble Hosoda's films. It's unquestionably a late 80's Gainax film both literally and figuratively. Anyway, the reason I like Summer Wars is that it's fun. It was basically Hosoda's attempt to update an already solid adventure film in Digimon with more mainstream/modern sensibilities. You just can't take it too seriously. I mean, come on, one of the characters has to hack an evil computer virus with a freakin' Nintendo DS. All the while still having his direction and vibrancy in his characters during the real-life scenes. About the only thing it's missing as a film compared to Wolf Children and TGWLTT is Hosoda's more serious/melancholic side, which is probably why I would ultimately say it's my third favorite of his three main films. He just does that part so well.

Shinsekai Yori, Higurashi, and Paranoia Agent would fall sorta in the creepy mindfuck category with Lain. Psycho-Pass, Madoka Magica, and Fate/Zero are more along the dark action thriller veins of Darker than Black. Kyousougiga and Steins;Gate are somewhere in-between.

Seconding Madoka Magica. That poo poo was great, especially the witches' realms. You could do with something like Paprika. That poo poo's cray. Hit up COde Geass: Lelouch. It's not Mind Bending, but it's drat fun.

Ok I've got another very specific kind of request. I'm looking for a show which contains a particular kind of scene. In this scene, a character climactically inherits or ascends to some role or ability that is thematically significant, and this ascension is accompanied by some visual indicator, which appears in an instant. That is, you can point out the exact instant when the character comes into his own. Additionally, this inheritance should ideally be a good thing for the protagonist(s), not like the final boss reaching his second form or anything. It could be a child taking the place of his parents, or finally standing up to some long-suffered evil, or someone attaining symbolic proof of membership in some society, etc. Some examples:

I'd like an action show with well done animation and especially really good fight choreography. Basically like the fight with the swordsman in the second episode of Chaika the Coffin Princess. Very specifically, I want a lot of stuff like the ~6 seconds following 18:59 in this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIOi14hOOHY Something that I'm kinda specifically not wanting is what happens here at about the 16 minute mark, this thing where there's just shots of the individual fighters taking a swing/shooting a gun and then cutting away, without showing how the attack connects or affects the other fighter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyLIjk_V-1g (15:39 is another good example of exactly the kind of action I am looking for) I'd also much prefer an anime I can laugh with/at rather than one I have to take seriously. P.S. can someone tell me how to make videos start at a specific time when you embed them like this? adding &t=18m59s to the end of the url code doesn't work

That's because you need a #, not an &. You should also watch Gundam 08th MS Team. Or at least, this youtube video from it which is one of the best Gundam fights ever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4kEuNfbTWc

Pretty good. Cut away from the fight a little too much for my tastes though, made the whole thing feel so slow. I dunno if I'd be up for watching a whole Gundam show though. I've seen MSG + Zeta + CC and also Wing, plus about half of Turn A. Build Fighters was the only one I could really call my cup of tea though, I think the usual Gundam storytelling just isn't for me.

The battles in Gundam Unicorn own bones. The rest of it owns bones too, but is probably not what you're looking for (episode six, for instance, has very little in way of action). Maybe Macross Frontier? The action in that was pretty good. And also Macross Plus.

I dunno man, Turn A just felt like there was a good story going on there but I just wasn't Getting It, and as far as I could tell I was just watching a string of related events happening, rather than an entertaining story. Maybe the subs I got were poo poo (yet still coherent), or maybe everything entertaining about any of the characters just flew over my head. There just wasn't anything in it that got me interested in what was happening (and I think in general there wasn't a whole lot happening? Like the pacing was kinda slow? It's been a while since I decided to just give up on it so I don't remember super well).

Turn A is The Most Relaxed Gundam, so there is that. It's less about the robots and more about the people and discovering the history of the world, and occasionally about using the robots to do mundane things, and sometimes fighting. I'd say it's worth finishing because it's a pretty interesting political statement too. And Harry Ord is a boss. And the music is outstanding. If all you want is giant robot fisticuffs, it's not for you. It's got some fighting, and some drat good fights at that, but the majority of it is much more low-key than that. It's just that when all is said and done, very few people have said they didn't enjoy it.

Thanks for the recommendations guys, but I've already seen everything suggested except Diebuster, which I'll get to  And regarding Gurren Lagann, I actually felt the only thing in the series that really fits what I'm looking for is (the show is 7 years old but to be safe, spoilered): episode 11, when Simon breaks out of his depression to inherit Kamina's role. Past that, there wasn't much in the way of "thematic ascension", just an already-ascended character pushing bounds further and further. I realize I'm probably not making much sense, but it's hard to articulate even to myself, so oh well.

I still need to see Diebuster but Gunbuster's one of the better super robot series out there, it's really easy to tell it was done by people who love the crap out of the genre. It's wonderfully paced and you really get attached to the main four characters.
