It felt broken after the mindbreak episode I actually kind of liked it, since the way that space fucks people up psychologically and physically was a major theme, and having the MC turn into an rear end in a top hat because of it was a good way to drive the point home but I can see why people complained. It probably could have been handled better.

However, if it had 2 seasons then the length would have probably felt fine.

I watched Gargantia on the Verdunous Planet on a whim between yesterday and today. It was up on Netflix and absolutely nothing about it made me decide to watch it other than a Mecha in the promo art. Hot drat, like your Hard Sci-fi, O'Neil Cylinders, wormhole travel, pew pew lasers, nanomachines, AI and mopey Mecha pilots? How about smashing that together with an Earth-Eons-From-Now-Waterworld setting except done totally right? No piss-drinking jetski pilots. Mostly. That's Gargantia. It's only 13 episodes and if you've ever enjoyed a semi-serious sci-fi setting (PLANETES, Knights of Sidonia, etc) this is right up your alley. I loved the way that Leto couldn't speak any Earth and required constant translation, but slowly picked it up. It wasn't over one episode, oh hello I speak earth today! but over most of the series. Some words here and there, some sentences, short conver sations, then suddenly it's not a thing anymore.

I rather enjoyed Gargantia but most folks around here didn't. I don't think it's much like Planetes but it is like a light gundam with some uroboshi mixed in.

I need some anime recommendations because I've run out of Universal Century gundam to watch and if I watch any more gundam I'll probably kill myself. Typically I like horror I guess, but I haven't seen a whole lot of actual horror anime out there, suspense and thriller type stuff is great too. I also love giant robots as unrelated to more serious genres as it tends to be. Not a fan of comedy anime though. To list some stuff I've liked a ton since that probably gives a better example of my tastes; Mushishi, Requiem from the Darkness, Baccano, Shin Mazinger Z and Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. I've also read but not watched Planetes, Blade of the Immortal and Berserk.

Well there's also Mononoke. It's solid too if you want something more episodic like Mushishi. Just a note about Mononoke though is that it has 3 episodes that show up prior to the actual series as the last 3 episodes of Ayakashi. Not necessary to watch them, but it does introduce a character who shows up again in the series.

Big O and Tamers were his biggest works, probably, so I figured you might have seen them. Of his more obscure stuff, I'd definitely recommend Lain as the best of the lot.

My standard recs for someone who mentions liking Mushishi are Kino's Journey and the already mentioned Mononoke. Since you're looking for horror, Mononoke would be right up your alley. Konaka is also a good rec. I can personally attest that Lain and Texhnolyze are both drat good. Also, you might as well follow up Baccano with Durarara. The first season is not quite as good as Baccano, but the second season is - dare I say it - arguably better than Baccano. The second half of the second season starts this summer so it'd be good timing.

Help Im Alive posted:Is it better to watch Steins Gate or play the game because I haven't done either and there's a Vita version out this month The anime is good, but with the game easily obtainable legally in English, there's no reason not to play it instead, the art style is gorgeous and they couldn't replicate it in the anime at all. The anime also lacks alot of Okabe's internal monologues which give him alot of character.

personal opinion is that the directorial flairs and general trimming make the anime better overall. the art style is a big loss though

the real takeaway is that there is no consensus and you should really just decide if you'd rather play a VN or watch an anime

So, I've read Pluto, played Omega Factor, read some assorted Tezuka manga and I'm interested in watching some Astro Boy anime. Which version should I watch? I know there's three, at least- the old black and white one, the 80s one, and the 2003 one. Which is most worth my time? Are any of them crap I should avoid?

Convince me to keep watching LOGH. I got up to episode 16 or 18. I read some spoilers that the two main dudes never meet and also read on the wikia that not much happens with Yang, the blue haired friend of the none Kaiser protagaonist.. Both things bummed me out about continuing the show and I dropped it since. Edit: Dusty,not Yang. LolitaSama fucked around with this message at 04:35 on May 19, 2015 |

Not necessarily the best anime ever, but it's really up there. Get your sources checked because that information in this post is just flat out wrong, to an outrageous degree even. Don't necessarily believe everything you hear on the internet. Investigate poo poo a little further next time to see if you're not being bullshitted because holy poo poo I haven't seen that much wrong in a post in a long time. Especially when it comes to poo poo like wikias, anyone can edit those and their quality varies incredibly. So please, keep on watching LOGH, post about your experience in the thread even, that's been a thing people do for years and it's always good to see a new perspective on it.
