Spiritus Nox posted:If 'intrigued' means 'thinking about watching' and not 'watched and found interesting' my recommendation is to watch Mushishi Yeah, those are things I either haven't seen at all or have seen an episode or two and like the looks of it. Also, yeah I'm not a big fan of high school settings but can overlook it if the show is good otherwise. Thanks for the recommendations, looks like good stuff.

FLCL has a solid dub. They seem to have prioritized getting VAs that sound like the jp characters. If you're a filthy dub-watcher, it's a good choice, though I prefer the jp audio.

Haibane Renmei and Mushishi are v good, if you watch and enjoy both of them I would then strongly recommend Tatami Galaxy and Kino's Journey which are both similarly weird but incredibly captivating. If you like all of these but want something more psychologically damaging and darkly humourous I suggest Welcome to the NHK

If I stretch this question almost to the point of snapping I would cite Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt as "what if Drawn Together were good, and funny, and somewhat more intelligent, and about anime instead of Western animation?" Otherwise I'd just second Gankutsuou.

Oh I didn't know Howl's Moving Castle was based on a western work but I have watched it. It's weird because I have heard of the author but never knew she wrote it. Is the Ghibli Earthsea adaptation any good? I know a lot of people hate Goro Miyazaki's works compared to his father's but I loved the books by Ursula Guin so I wanted to know if the movie is worth watching even though its only based on one of the later books. First book was the best imo. I'll check out Ulysees 31, never heard of it but am interested in an adaptation of Greek Mythology in anime format. Gankutsuou I have heard and seen, everyone talks about how beautiful it looks. I know the basic story of The Count of Monte Cristo but I always get it recommended by people saying its one of the best books ever. I only watched one episode of the anime when it aired but never got back to it and the books is huge kinda daunting to read but I want to read it. I always wanted to know if I watch the anime will it ruin reading the book or is the material slightly different?

I've heard the earthsea adaptation isn't great. I bet it's better than the live action tv version tho.  Probably just best to stick with the books. There's a Lensman anime, based off a space opera from the 60s. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lensman_series

Dumas sort of originated the school of writing that later gave us Dan Brown and Tom Clancy. It's not exactly a thriller, and certainly better than those authors, but Dumas isn't really held in the same regard as Hugo or Flaubert or whoever. Still, you don't get to be remembered for so long by writing boring books. It's a classic in the field of decade-spanning revenge fantasies. Gankutsuou is an extremely loose adaptation of the book, and also a really great show that you should watch. Like, the main character of the anime is only a supporting character in the book, it's that loose. It will spoil some plot twists, probably, but I wouldn't worry if you already know the outline.

Seems like I'll give the anime a try because the book is a lot longer and I don't own it. Also what are the best anime from the World Masterpiece Theater? I have already seen most of Heidi and a bit of Anne of Green Gables.

I made a review post for The Count of Monte Cristo (the original book) in the Type-Moon thread of all places, which I might as well quote here.Silver2195 posted:A lot of it is surprisingly bad, too. There's some good ideas in there (the basic plot of Edmond getting revenge on the people who wrongly imprisoned him without using direct violence, Eugenie's subplot, Noirtier's subplot), but it's clogged with bad ideas: I should add that the part with Edmond is prison near the beginning was another one of the good parts. I should also note that the standard public domain translation (by an anonymous translator -- the 19th century equivalent of Baka-Tsuki?) is quite bad: full of clunky purple prose and occasionally bowlderized. The Penguin Classics translation is a considerable improvement.

It was probably just a case of "wowee, it's this new thing called japanimation, and this is one of the first things we licensed so we're plastering it on everything!" then
