Dessel posted:Sora No Woto I've heard of and considered sometimes, but moe girls doing war kind of stretches the believable aspect. The girls are soldiers but they're not doing war, they're stationed in a random unimportant border town close to a country they're at peace with. The reasoning being that since a war just ended and "real soldiers" are scarce, they would be too valuable to waste on such a posting.

I am looking for something new to watch. I tend to like shorter, character focused stories with intricate or interwoven stories. Stuff like The Tatami Galaxy, Haibane Renmei, Kyousougiga, Baccano/Durarara or Mushishi. Anyone have any suggestions?

Check out Kaiba. Same director as The Tatami Galaxy, 12 episodes long, and really weird and good.

Finish of the "Abe trilogy" since you've watched Haibane Renmei; Serial Experiments Lain and Texhnolyze are both fantastic. Also my standard Mushishi-like recomendations are Kino's Journey, Mononoke, and Natsume Yuujinchou. Yuasa's Ping Pong is also great if you liked Tatami Galaxy's style. There's a ton of other things I could list out because I like that kind of story too, but I won't post them unless you really want a bunch more.

Cool, you posted everything I was about to suggest. These are all amazing; I'd probably say Ping Pong is the best of them all if you want something with a lot of frantic energy (something it shares with Tatami Galaxy along with a similar art style) and the whole thing is only 11 episodes. Kino's Journey is something closer to Mushishi with a collection of shorter stories sharing a protagonist (two in most episodes, if you count Hermes) but not much else.

Imo, Kino's Journey is the closest thing to Mushishi because it's structurally just about exactly the same thing, but it deals with different themes.

You might like Ghost Hound, it's written by the same guy who wrote Lain and Texhnolyze. It's a coming of age story for 3 boys in a rural town, all who have gone through some tragedy in the past. It's very character driven, and that comes to a nice conclusion, but the interlinked plot threads never come to a good conclusion.

Thanks, I have seen Lain, but not Texholyze. Hyouka and Natsume Yuujinchou have been suggested to me in the past but... I kind of forgot their titles at the time. Thanks everyone for the suggestions, I'm going to check these out! All of them seem interesting, and it should be enough to hold me over for a long time.

Silver Spoon is IMO a top 2 best currently running manga so when you run out of episodes to watch I definitely recommend reading the rest.

I liked Kill la Kill for great animation, great fights and Mako. Sure it was silly (and rapey) as poo poo but I still liked the beginning and the end of it, the middle was just exposition and budget animation. Is there anything else like it out there? I tried watching Gurren Lagann but couldn't get into it.

Dead Leaves (even more nonsensical than FLCL), Panty and Stocking (winner of Best Swearing In Anime Award), Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi. These are all a lot heavier on the humour than KLK but probably worth a look.

If you watch Panty and Stocking (and you should), be sure to watch the dub. Also, you say that you couldn't get into TTGL; may I ask how far you got? It's certainly possible that it's just not your thing, but it's far from unheard of to not really dig the first few eps of Gurren Lagann but go on to love the poo poo out of it. Fun, energetic animation, good comic relief, really everything that one might like about KLK is present in GL, so if you perhaps didn't give it a full chance to shine, I'd urge you to do so.

TTGL has exponential growth, beginning from it's relatively mundane first few episodes to a level of inanity you can't possibly imagine. It's a super inspiring ride, if that's your thing.

I finished TTGL yesterday and it had a profound effect on me. By that I mean it made me feel emotions today when I was thinking about it (good emotions).

I still can't listen to the rap opera song without getting chills, but then again I'm a huge dork for music in general.

that rap opera song is the dumbest and most embarassing thing in that very specific kind of dumb and embarassing that only anime is. it gets even better when you realize it's not a black person doing the rap but a japanese person who can't pronounce english quite right in other words it's really good and i like it. the rap part, at least, not the opera part so much

Project A-ko parodies like tons of stuff but also actually has likeable characters and and actual story so it's not much like Excel Saga. Also she's literally the daughter of Superman and Wonder Woman.

The only actual good parts of Free were the first season's ED and that one political cartoon someone did in the style of The Onion's Kelly with a crying Saber instead of a crying statue of liberty.
