I'm talking about his face, not his clothes. Check out his forehead compared to just below his nose. It never bothered me but people definitely complained about it when the anime was coming out. E: Should have just put in a little more effort looking through the wiki and posted this one first:

The first Persona 4 pic doesn't look too jarring but the second one is kind of bad, yeah. But that doesn't bug me in the same way so I assume the gradients are not the main problem. The first video's art style is amazing and it occurred to me that I probably dislike the lack of character in their Fate material, it's like comparing a 2D game with beautifully painted art and 3D game with generic models, technically the latter has the upper hand but it often lacks soul. Even Persona 3 with its gradients looks much better IMO.

So I finished watching ToraDora again, and at the thread's recommendation, started on Lovely Complex and My Little Monster (as well as Golden Time, since it's by the ToraDora person.) So far, I've only watched one episode each of Lovely Complex and Golden Time. The former seems a little too whimsical for my tastes, but I'll stick it out since it seems to be highly recommended. The latter also seems to be missing some of that magic that made ToraDora so special, not sure exactly what yet though, I'm thinking it's the rather boring main character. Then again, only the first episodes. I'm really liking My Little Monster though, so thanks to the goons that brought it up. From what I've been told, the story is unfinished in the anime, and I'll eventually have to look for the manga? Does the anime follow the manga closely for that matter?

Golden Time's animation and designs are really bland compared to Toradora so I think that's one of the reasons why it doesn't have that same magic. Gives it less personality and all that.

Gives it less personality and all that. Golden Time was sort of a frustrating watch. It obviously had the potential to be really neat, but it just wasn't handled all that well, imo. I want to like it, but can't.

Neurosis posted:Hi, I've watched a few anime series but am not hugely familiar with the medium as a whole. I have a low tolerance for cutesy humour and extremely stylised anime stuff, and prefer serious storylines. I will probably watch the English dub. If you made it through 17 eps of Darker than Black you should really try to get to the end of Baccano, but I digress. Real Talk: Samurai Champloo, Sword of the Stranger, Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit, Blade of the Immortal.

I hope you mean the Blade of the Immortal manga because the anime is the most uninspired trash ever.

I've just finished watching Knights of Sidonia and quite enjoyed it. Could someone recommend a good mecha anime? I'm completely new to the genre so anything should be fine. I really enjoyed the alien nature and mystery of the Guana, so a similar adversary would be nice. I also really enjoyed the bleak space setting and the trans-humanism aspects. Something dubbed would be nice too, but it's not a dealbreaker. Thanks.

Gunbuster, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (do NOT read any summaries/descriptions) for the rad poo poo, Turn A Gundam for something a bit more grounded. Then cry because hardly anything compares, especially to the first two. e: You might also want to watch Neon Genesis Evangelion at some point but it's been a long time since I've seen that so I can't really recommend it with clear conscience based upon my past feelings. Most people would probably consider it somewhere between important and must-watch. lordfrikk fucked around with this message at 01:00 on Feb 2, 2015 |

I think when getting your feet wet in the genre it's good to stick to shorter series, so I'm gonna suggest Macross Plus. It's only 4 episodes long, and tells an exciting story that doesn't hinge upon knowing anything about the Macross series. Also the dub is great, and because it was dubbed back in the 90s you get to hear Bryan Cranston in an anime.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll start with Macross and Turn A Gundam then. Really like the sound of Turn A actually. It's an oddly appealing sounding setting.

Turn A Gundam is barely a mecha show. It is, however, one of the finest animes ever, with one of the best soundtracks ever, with some of the best characters ever

Well, Turn A and Gunbuster got mentioned so I'll throw in RahXephon and ...gently caress it, I'll catch hell for this but Code Geass if you can stand a side of goofball high school poo poo and the occasional foray into  Those two in particular also come to mind for your post specifically because both have English dubs. e:VVVV Yeah, that basically.

code geass is a trainwreck in the best possible way. It goes 100 miles per hour bascially from the word go and not much makes sense but who cares, cool poo poo is happening and the protagonist is laughing like a maniac and there's a guy named orange in a giant floating orange

I'm going to recommend Giant Robo: The Day the Earth Stood Still. It has a fun retro aesthetic, an amazing musical score, and a great ensemble cast. I don't particularly like the dub, but it has one. EDIT: Now I'm listening to the Giant Robo OSTs again and am reminded just how drat good they are. Zero_Tactility fucked around with this message at 20:16 on Feb 2, 2015 |

I was pretty disappointed with the ending of Giant Robo, but it was a fun ride to get there. Basically, the fact that it took literal years to make made it feel really disjointed to me.

I've never really understood the love giant robo gets. I don't think it's bad but I just don't get why it's so beloved. I mean I own the loving thing and I have watched it like 4 or five times???? What am I missing?

I have legit ADHD and somehow it has only gotten worse with age. What're some fast paced animes with lots of action? I really like the mecha part of mecha shows but it is hard to describe how much I do not want to sit through the non-mecha parts of Gundam Crazy poo poo like the first season of Valverave is right up my alley. Something like Gundam Build Fighters that fills the space between fights with comedy is also pretty great. I just want a series with lots of stuff that is entertaining in the short term (as opposed to something like I guess long term character development? I don't know how to describe it but trying to watch Turn A Gundam and Eureka Seven was pretty difficult for me) All of the examples I've given are mecha but I'm cool with any action, not just robots

May as well watch the Mazinkaiser OVAs as well if you're going that route. Plain Mazinkaiser has more comedy, SKL has more violence.
