The Colonel posted:birdy the mighty decode season 1 is alright, but it's really worth watching for season 2, which is imo one of the loving coolest character driven sci-fi stories ever. and bubblegum crisis is really awesome, too Birdy the Mighty Decode was a real surprise for me as to how drat good a sci-fi show it was. It even doesn't pull punches when the REAL bad poo poo starts going down. I've still gotta watch the second season too, so now I'm really looking forward to it. Though I'll never forgive it for killing the best character four episodes in. Goodnight, you magnificent gay blue robot  .

Galactic Cyclone Braiger, it's a mecha anime but the robot isn't as important as the space shenanigans J9 gets up to. It has a fun cast of characters, a great soundtrack, and lots of space adventure! I'm only partway through it myself but I've enjoyed it so far.

Well, thanks to this thread, I've watched Space Battleship Yamato 2199. I love it! The characters animation seems quite static in places, and I have a totally unreasonable hatred for all the Iscander characters, but oh boy, that sure is a show about a real fuckin awesome battleship fighting space nazis. I love the space battles. The ships are awesome, the technobabble is fun, the strategies are great, and I love the old school laser sounds. Got the biggest possible  grin during episode 25."They cannot possibly shoot at us! Beam weapons don't work in here!" "OH poo poo THEY'RE FIRING ACTUAL ARTILLERY SHELLS" I also appreciate that it's not just dumb evil nazis on the antagonist's side, there's all sorts, including downright decent dudes watching out for their men, handsome rogues with a SPACE SUBMARINE, rebels - and still cartoonishly evil nazis, because those guys make great villains. Also butts. So many butts. Including one instance of incredibly blatant robot butt. Bless you, Space Battleship Yamato 2199. What other shows are there with incredible displays of badass men/women staring each other down and pulling off amazing strategies? Doesn't have to be space, doesn't have to be sea, doesn't matter. I want a badass crew on a badass vessel.

I got around to watching Kyousougiga after it got recommended so much. It was pretty good but I'm not really sure it really warranted all of the praise, like "this totally should have been the AOTY the year it came out" praise. Like I've already forgotten most of the details, kind of in one ear and out the other sort of experience.

Kyousougiga is largely an emotional thing for me, I'm able to forgive all of the flaws it has because it's a story that consistently hits me really hard. If it didn't click with you, well, then, I guess that's that. Nothing left to say. Other than You're Freakin' Dead Punk!!!!

Space  . The ending gets pretty dumb - we only have minutes to evacuate, let's waste them on long goodbyes!, but it's still a good adaptation for a feature film. My favourite bit is the guy getting all excited about being assigned to the Third Bridge. It brought back memoried of the first new Star Trek film where the away team was Kirk, Sulu.... and random redshirt .

Basically three sisters inherit their very own kaiju and what I saw at least was about how their community reacts to this and how they use it to try and fix their lives and their community. I never finished it though.

Nevermind the first episode starting with blowing holes in security guards and crushing heads barely two minutes in.

If I really liked K-On, and if I thought the best thing about K-On (besides it being a KyoAni production) was the character writing, what are some other shows worth looking into?

So anime with good character writing then. in no particular order: The second season of K-On, if you haven't watched it yet. Sound! Euphonium Chihayafuru Toradora Planetes March Comes In Like A Lion is a manga, but it's got an anime coming in October

http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Wombsquote:On the planet of Hekiou, there is a continuing war between the first wave of immigrants and the second. An important section of the military uses a native creature, the Niebass, to give its soldiers translocation abilities. These soldiers are all women, with the alien creature transplanted into their wombs. Some people see this practice as a violation of human women by aliens, and Mana Oga's boyfriend has a similar perspective on the matter. Mana Oga is a new soldier in this section, and the story follows her and the other women in her group who accept the alien creatures into their wombs in order to defend their homes.

Tuxedo Catfish posted:The magnum opus of the guy who is also directing the next Godzilla movie. The angels had somewhat weak personalities, I hope that Godzilla Isn't made as secondary as the Angels became later on. Honestly I started liking all the characters at least a little but in the end I just wanted them all to die, maybe they did, the ending wasn't too clear. Mostly I just wanted more fights as they communicated far more in far less time than any of the other scenes. What is an AT field?
