ninjewtsu posted:Are there any sports anime that you'd recommend that sounds similar to the kind of show I'm looking for Ippo gets really exciting. I binged the whole first season in like a week back when I was younger and had way more free time. It's really addictive and that first season stays fresh all the way through, since there's plenty of variety in the fights and the animation does a fine job at illustrating that.

Chihayafuru and Haikyu would be good shows to look into. GorfZaplen posted:Kaiji Yes this!

As far as anime that make me feel things, currently airing March Comes In Like A Lion is delivering so far, so it may be worth a try.

ninjewtsu posted:To get this thread a bit more on topic: what are some good animes that are packed full of really intense emotion? Something along the lines of gundam thunderbolt, the king arc of hunter x hunter, or attack on titan? Like, an anime that hits you in the face with a sledgehammer of raw emotion every episode? I'm not 100% sure how articulate it better than that but something along the lines of the shows I mentioned Well this is pretty much a polar opposite in terms of genre and content from the examples you posted, but NANA put me through the entire wringer of human emotion. If you read the manga to see what happens after the show ends, be prepared to be sad forever (mostly because the author got sick, stopped writing it, and will probably never give the series the proper conclusion that you'll be aching for if you make it that far).

Trawled through some more Hulu shows and found another one I lked, Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash It's like a JRPG told from the perspective of the characters being played. Surprisingly intelligent and affecting. Only 12 eps tho.

I'm going through more of these shows (getting out if I don't like the first episode or even the first few episodes) due to being too sick to go work, and it's funny how quickly I am peacing out of shows in my OCD (and alphebitical) run through Hulu's anime offerings. There's usually a few factors that tell me I'm not going to like a show.... The title song coming in way too early before anything interesting happened in the plot Junior high students Correlational relationship between cuteness and quality Crazy faces due to being embarrased Anything to do with the apocalypse Junior high students EDIT: Also giant swords, extremely badass heroes, and weirdness towards women

I didn't say it was rational but comedies depending on people being embarrassed seems to coincide with me rolling my eyes eventually and trying something else. Speaking of that Durarara!! is pretty good! Weird and interesting with a pretty unique short story structure of a bustling Tokyo neighborhood.

Brotherhood was really really good though and well worth the time I sank into watching it. I hope that something else on the list hooks me in the same way. Also, I found out there were Persona 4 and Neptunia shows and watched them both. They were awful and I loved every last awkward minute of them, please tell me there is more stupid fun stuff like this.

Any thriller animes maybe like Mayoiga something with horror or just straight up mystery. Like the tv show Lost or Twin Peaks is there any other anime with a cast of characters which is suspenseful/mystery?

You could try Lain and Boogiepop Phantom though the horror/mystery in those is of a much different kind.

Not every episode is like that, and it takes a little while to get there, but the show is incredibly tense and has a hell of a lot of atmosphere, particularly in the second half. A good amount of horror/mystery/suspense, certainly worth checking out.

Sakurazuka posted:Higurashi definitely, maybe check out Another and Shiki. The main-plot episodes of Boogiepop aren't great, but the standalone ones are some amazing examples of hosed-up psychological horror. I really need to sit down and give Lain another go too, because I've seen the first maybe two episodes and found it a shade too slow to enjoy.

The second half is definitely picking up, but I feel it's fair to emphasize this bit Other thing to note: First half has an A-plot and a B-plot. In the second half the A-plot disappears and never gets resolved, and the B-plot takes over the show. It's a good B-plot, but it barely gets a chance to breathe before the show ends.

Best slice-of-life that doesn't focus on middle/high schoolers and isn't Shirobako, Nana, or Usagi Drop?
