Your list is short on SciFi, so let's try some of that: Irresponsible Captain Tylor is hilarious and absurd all the time, but also manages to sneak in some really poignant bits. The TV series has one of my favorite finales in all of anime, just be warned that the follow-up OVAs end on a really unpleasant unresolved cliffhanger. Crest/Battle of the Stars is a rather slowly paced, but excellent series that is just as interested in exploring its alien society as in its grand space battles and a really sweet main couple. If you liked Spice and Wolf's pacing, there's a decent chance that this will work for you as well.

User0015 posted:I need some recommendations. Let me break down likes, dislikes and recently enjoyed. Hitsugi no Chaika came immediately to mind, and sounds right up your alley. It's fun fantasy adventure with good action scenes that doesn't take itself seriously. You might like Full Metal Panic. It's high schoolers, but not at all SoL. Fun robot action and good comedy intermixed for the first season, just comedy for the second, and just action for the third (which is by kyoani!). If you like absurd action, it's hard to go wrong with the better Gainax stuff like Gunbuster/Diebuster, FLCL, and Gurren Lagann. Along with P&SwG mentioned above, for pure comedy. Katanagatari is great action with fun dialogue, and even when poo poo goes down towards the end, it never quite takes itself seriously. Bodacious Space Pirates is great fun: space piracy has has been reduced to a tourist attraction, and one of the great old pirate ships has a new captain. Although it's adapted from LNs titled "Miniskirt Space Pirates" it's not nearly as salacious as that sounds - or at all, actually. It's just a fun space adventure with a female cast. It scratches a similar itch to Outlaw Star, if you ever saw that back in the day. If not, well check it out, it's also a fun space adventure. This past season's Flip Flappers is great, and most episodes have the main characters exploring a new dream world. Great animation, great story, great story; can't recommend it enough. It tied for 3rd in our 2016 AotY thread. I could go on, but that's probably enough.

Yeah, and both the first and second seasons contain episodes directed by Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata, so keep an eye out for that.

I'm 8 episodes into Flip Flappers and I can't help but feel it's a repeat of my Kyousogiga experience. It's interesting enough as it is in terms of style and a handful of character bits but by large it's kind of falling flat. It's a show that I will almost certainly forget immediately upon finishing, not really liking or disliking it all that much. For how much buzz it got in the Top 2016 thread I can't help but feel a bit disappointed. At least the ED is one of the best I've ever seen.

User0015 posted:I need some recommendations. Let me break down likes, dislikes and recently enjoyed. I'm sure you've already got more than enough to get on with in terms of recommendations, but I'd definitely recommend having a look at Hunter x Hunter to see if it's your kind of thing. The first arc is fun, but a little slow, and the final one, though excellent, has abysmal pacing at times and is often pretty serious. That aside, it's fantastic for the whole 'adventure and new worlds' angle you're looking for, and the whole magic/fighting system introduced in the second arc leads to a lot of absurd abilities and other fun stuff.

I really enjoyed a few of the earlier episodes, but the writer who was responsible for those episodes left the show half way through, which is about the time the plot starts showing up and man is it a mess.

The plot in the first half is incoherent as well. I did like the one where they relive the childhood of their painter classmate a lot though.

The early episodes don't really have plot. They're largely disconnected episodic fantasy adventures. I forgave it for that at the time because it was clear that it was an exercise in experimentation and genre-hopping. There is a plot though; It comes in at the end. It's just not very good.

You're both wrong because they're not disconnected, they're bound together by the same themes and personal journey that become more explicit in the latter half of the show. If that didn't land for you then it didn't land, but the early episodes of the show pretty clearly have common priorities with the later ones.`

A good very shoujo romance is House of the Sun/Taiyou no Ie. I also really enjoy Fruits Basket for shoujo romcom. They both have a nice focus on family as well as romance.

Maybe try Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid. Leans heavier on comedy and family dynamics than traditional romance, but it's drat good at those things, so...

DamnGlitch posted:The second season has some cool stuff but patterns itself after the first season in a way that was already done better, and that undermines the core premise. It has the same problem i have with brave new world, where they write in these holes in the system for what seems like narrative expedience for some reason instead of investigating the system itself. The movie is interesting and definitely a step up from s2 but it suffers from this as well Got around to watching the Psycho-Pass movie and loving hell is it head and shoulders above the shittier parts of season 2. The holes in the system are there by Sybil's design, rather than something by mere accident. The whole point of the Shamballa District's IFF issues was to allow the military government to set it up as they please, thinking they're nice and safe... then flip the switch and purge the actual latent criminals. And what a purge it was . The Enforcers turning up was a bit of a dodge, given what they mentioned at the start of the movie, but it's all in the name of giving them more than ten minutes of screentime for an action scene so what the hell.

Still following up on the top 10 from the Best of 2016 thread, and kind of feel like voicing a few thoughts and better here than the white noise of the chat thread at least. Flip Flappers: dropped 8 eps in. Great ED but overall it was too nonsensical and chaotic for my tastes. Mad Max and the painter girl's childhood eps were the best. Space Patrol Luluco: I have no love of Trigger but this was fine. Not great, but fine. Helped that each ep was so short. Osomatsu-san: Hysterical 90% of the time. Maybe a little too much toilet humor at times to put it on the level of Nichijou or Daily Lives of Highschool Boys but it's a great comedy. Karamatsu was the best. Konsuba: Funny, but also not animated all that well (thanks DEEN) and a bit lewd. It's fine. Yuri On Ice: Not finished yet but I can tell I'm going to love this. I thought it was going to be super dry but it's really energetic and fun. Time to make history~~ Mob Pyscho 100: I've burned out on ONE thanks to OPM and so far this hasn't changed my opinion all that much, but supposedly the later episodes are great so we'll see.

It's funny you say that about Flip Flappers, because you dropped it at the last episode before the plot kicks off. If anything, most people seemed to like the "nonsensical and chaotic" episodes better, though.

Flip Flappers was murdered by its own plot  Please donate to my fund, and we'll help save future animes from Too Much Plot. Alternate joke: Flip Flappers had a plot so Flying Witch could have none.
