Does the "anime" of Knights of Sidonia get any better or more interesting? I'm about 5 episodes in and the only thing that's at all interesting to me is the setting even then it has elements I don't care for. The action isn't really doing much for me either. The cell animation is really distracting, I can't get over how stiff and stilted it is. Nihei sure can do some weird sci-fi but I see that he still hasn't come up with compelling characters.

Whelp, I'm officially requesting this thread's help. I've been on an extended anime binge these last few days (being hospitalized does that to people  ), and I'm looking for more. Maybe some resident anime expert knows some other shows/OVA/movies that fit into it... I'm mostly looking for rather short shows with great animation, preferably finished (for optimal binge-watching). I'm also a sucker for non-chronological or confusing narration, if it comes together in the end. A huge negative are static scenes, boring action and general expressionlessness.Big fan of: Madoka Magica, Baccano, Space Dandy, Cowboy Bebop, Hellsing OVA, Not overwhelming, but still pretty good: Texhnolyze (  ), Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (mostly for animation + fun as hell two main characters, didn't really like the others), Kyousougiga, Evangelion (intense dislike for the early episodes, turned incredible in the end), Ghost in the Shell, Tengen Toppa Gurren Langan (very stylish + a bit generic at the start, only really loved it after the time skip), aaaaaaand Kill La Kill + Panty&Stocking (I like stupid + stylish energetic action).Looked fine at first, then disappointed HARD: Cassheeeeeeeern Sins, Durarara, From the New World, Attack on Titan, Fate/Zero. Any ideas? I'm not expecting any more lightning in a bottle like Madoka (half the shows listed above I only tried when searching for anything similar), but who knows what else is out there...

Gonna regurgitate my usual recommendation for people who like KLK and P&S: Re. Cutie Honey, a three part OAV from the early 2000's which a bunch of people from those first two shows and Evangelion worked on. If you haven't seen FLCL either watch that.

Tatami Galaxy maybe. I'll throw in Eccentric Family too, but it's not as fast-paced as a lot of anime in your list.

Yeah, the CG-anime'd Sidonia is a poor adaptation. (Doesn't get much better, at least the first season.) The manga actually reads like Nihei's other work, for the most part.

Seconding Ping Pong, FLCL and Tatami Galaxy, if you're ok with the art style (I assume so if you're OK with KLK, P+S, GL, etc)

I came here for something entirely different, but now I'm watching a gag dub of an otherwise dull kiddie ghost show... Definitely gonna check out Pingpong. I don't know about K-On, since I'm honestly a little repelled by the whole moe trend, but I keep hearing it's actually a good show... Only one way to find out for real, I guess! Srice posted:I second Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei (as well as other Shinbo stuff), it's a real good rec in this case since if someone loves Madoka and dislikes Fate/Zero, they might like other stuff from the director of the former. This is true - I said something to that effect over in the Madoka thread as well. Fate/Zero does some really fun stuff with the story (aside from stupid magic plot devices out of nowhere), but it has a nasty habit of making everything look dull and static, especially the action scenes (HOW). If it's the director at fault here, going this route looks promising... Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei is fun so far! Maybe a bit long without a definite end/conclusion (?) in sight, but let's see where this goes. Thanks so far!

The clips from that comedy redub is one of the only redubbing efforts that I've thought was actually hilarious. Teamfourstar and it's ilk are retarded 90+% of the time.

I tried watching Haruhi with the broadcast episode list ( with like episode 8 or something as the first one) is it even worth trying to watch it this way? i got to like the island vacation episode before I kinda just forgot to watch it ( a year ago, so i'd start again new)

Yes. I tried watching the episodes in chronological order once, and it's so much less satisfying. EDIT: Here's some order stuff if you need it.

it's just so weird to see characters just there, and then in the next episode they're introduced. like the espers guy.

unpronounceable posted:I like Hidamari Sketch more, but K-On is a (feel)good show. It totally is. Those were some seriously relaxed ~13 episodes. But I have to admit, I'm getting kind of tired of the formula - nothing really ever changes... Things just kinda happen to characters, they react, everything's the same the next day. I really don't mind episodes with the cast just doing whatever, but I'm missing the feeling of things going somewhere. Maybe I'm just a sucker for "rise to fame" stories - K-On is nice and cute and all, but not that. It's cool, but nothing I could watch forever. Regarding the other suggestions (FEEDBACK, TO EARN MORE RECOMMENDATIONS  ):Yozakura Quartet looked nice, but utterly generic. First episode had some reaaaaally nice animation, tho... Not really interested. FLCL is insane and I loved every single second. That baseball episode was just my kind of insanity, plus the giant gunslinger fight and and and  drat, this one has to be added to my anime top tier list.Gatchaman Crowds is... tough to watch. I was immediately annoyed by Hayime, but she's actually pretty cool, and the villain is very entertaining. Plus, they stomp out the monster-of-the-week formula immediately. I'm... just not too happy about the character designs. That loving panda is an abomination, the suit thingies look like garbage... And while it seems very interesting how the internet + connectivity takes center stage, it's reaaaaaaally heavy-handed and clunky. Would've preferred a much more natural introduction to that part of the setting. Who knows. Might watch this drunk. Just to see more of that insane Katze guy. Ping Pong is incredible and probably one of the best-looking anime shows I've ever seen. I don't even like table tennis, but daaaaamn! Only three episodes in, but loving every second of it. "I am a machine!" gently caress yeah. Steins;Gate is... Well, I'm not sure about this one. It seems really slow, right now? Some witty banter. I heard it gets really dark later on? I hope so, because by episode ~3 or so I was getting bored a little. I'm willing to continue this one, though. As an unexpected bonus, I also stumbled across Nichijou. I feel like I'm missing out on a flashflood of horrible Japanese puns, but it's funny anyway Let's see how long it stays entertaining; it looks pretty aimless too, but maybe I just won't mind.That was my current opinion on anime, thank you for reading, I shall now continue watching Ping Pong and maybe Steins;Gate.

Ignoring the incredibly incorrect opinion on the panda if you like Ping Pong you will also probably like The Tatami Galaxy since it was done by the same director. It's also incredibly good.

Yeah, the plot of Steins;Gate takes a while to get moving, and the characterization tries to distract you from the increasingly ominous paranoia/foreshadowing, but yes it does pick up later on. Ruka and Feris are also potentially kinda weak/annoying characters but their episodes do have some major  moments.e: You mentioned liking Texhnolyze and Ghost in the Shell, so I might also recommend Serial Experiments Lain if you haven't seen it by now. silentsnack fucked around with this message at 16:26 on Aug 21, 2015 |

So I'm looking for a actiony / well-animated / MC curbstomping fools like a badass while dramatic music plays type anime. Because that's fun right ? Outting myself as having horrible taste here's a few things I've watched recently that are up that alley: Unlimited Blade Works Fate/Zero Aldnoah.Zero (first season anyway) Attack on Titan No Game No Life SAO S1 Overlord Also not going to lie I have a low tolerance for overly confusing / incomprehensible narratives, huge amounts of filler, older animation styles (never really watched anime as a kid so it looks weird as hell to me when everything isn't all modern and polished looking), and massive tearjerkers. Like I dropped Tokyo Ghoul because the plot was too confusing, gross, and filled with emotional gutpunches. Dropped Akame ga Kill for similar reasons. Any ideas greatly appreciated.
