Anyone have any shows like that to recommend? The California Crisis OVA is good for this

What kind of robot shows are airing at the moment? I've got a CR account and I'm looking for something to watch that's got some action and preferably Sci fi.

aldnoah zero has kinda silly writing but some pretty killer actions scenes it's basically a dude in a generic mech using tactics and stuff to take out overpowered super robots

I think Argevollen is on CR? It wasn't bad just not stunningly good or anything, I wouldn't be shocked if it got a second season but I don't know what kind of numbers it pulled.

Shark Tower posted:I've been re-watching Toradora and it occurs to me that I need more shows like Toradora in my life. Any recommendations for romantic comedies that still takes itself seriously at times? It decides to take itself a little too seriously at the start and then again during weird times but Kotoura-san is really good IMO, simple and sweet. Just prepare for a bit of whiplash between the drama and comedy. If you can stomach or even enjoy Golden Time then kotoura-san will be a breath of fresh air though.

DamnGlitch posted:Argevollen was really generic feeling for the first episode. Maybe it got better It has some neat ideas that a lot of mecha anime tend to gloss over (Like how the people making these super powerful mechs have it in their best interest to keep the war going, that was always a background thing in stuff like Gundam but was never really a major plot point) but it takes a long time to get anywhere and when it does it's just plain mediocre in its execution. Hardly the worst thing but there's so much better out there.

Anyone have any shows like that to recommend? FLCL is Gainax's best work. Despite what people say it does have a structure and a pretty simple story, it just has a discontinuous narrative thing going on that maybe could have been done better and a lot of sort of 'wacky' humor.

What's a good show for binging? I tried GIntama, but after 6 episodes I can't really get into it. Then I got bored enough to start watching old seasons of pokemon.

Watch Tiger and Bunny. Kokoro Connect is also pretty good to binge on. With Gintama, you probably should just start watching from episode 51 and forward. The whole first year is kinda uneven, since there are a lot of episodes to meet new members of the cast, and it doesn't always work. vvvv e: Spoken like a true dick-joke connoisseur. vvvv Wark Say fucked around with this message at 02:26 on Jan 20, 2015 |

Personally I like recommending the two-part episode about the Wii, episodes 98-99. It's funny as hell and I've won over a fair amount of people by showing it to them. Gintama's sorta like a lot of long running sitcoms in that the earliest episodes are definitely the low point. You wouldn't tell someone to watch something like The Simpsons or Seinfeld from the start, you'd tell them to watch the better seasons first and then check out the early episodes later if they become a fan! e: Gintama has the finest dick jokes and that's why it's a good anime.

Kids on the Slope is good, just don't watch the dub because it is bad. I really wish Sentai gave a gently caress about their dubs. Yeah, I totally love dubs where your QA is so bad that you forget to dub lines. (Golgo 13 and Bodacious Space Pirates. Probably more)

Cake Attack posted:lol really? For the missing lines? No. I just know because I own the DVD/Blu-Ray's myself. I'll see if I can find it though. Edit: Quick checking can't find it. I remember Bodacious Space Pirates wasn't TOO bad as it was a throw away line, but in Golgo 13, it was bad. A bartender just starts talking and there's nothing. I had to check to make sure I didn't hit mute. Checked Japanese, sure enough he was talking. The Black Stones fucked around with this message at 06:20 on Jan 20, 2015 |

It's been said already but bear in mind that it initially started out trying to have a story arc, before almost completely abandoning it for comedy, hence why everyone including myself say it gets better once it finds its groove, which admittedly does take a while since it has a pretty large cast to introduce. The story arc does pop back up occasionally though, leading to some of the best drat arcs I've seen in shonen anime though since the author finally figured out how to balance comedy and drama by that point.
