littleorv posted:I'm going to kill the DEEN is bad meme I've never understood the "DEEN is bad" thing when Simoun exists? Like, it doesn't look like the world's best anime, and - I just googled and they did Rakugo! That is not bad anime! Say instead that they have a spotty track-record, which is true of all studios.

deen has a ridiculously spotty record, spottier than most, and their shows almost always suffer from cheap animation, but they've always managed to occasionally put out some good stuff

allegaiance to any studio aside from historically extremely unchanging ones is a fool's errand

Rakugo looks fine, it is also not very exaggerated/stylish/animation-intensive outside of maybe the OP? Whereas Konsuba going for its whole energetic over the top shtick...well let's just say I can see the zippers on the back of the costumes in that one.

konosuba isn't pretty, but it makes more of an effort to work with its budget than most cheap deen shows if you go way way way back there are some things deen's been involved with that had pretty solid animation, like the original patlabor ova and Read or Die: The OVA

I choose to believe that Konosuba is probably popular enough that they could have justified spending the time/money to make S2 look better if they really wanted to, but decided that it's funnier as-is.

Any good finished manga's I can read? I have been reading Angel Densetsu which I found out about in this forum and its a pretty fun read. I normally go in the "Convince someone to read a manga with 1 panel" thread but a lot of the manga tend to be on going. I literally have so many manga I just put on hold because they are going on forever. I don't really like reading on going mangas sometimes I catch up but then I stop again with things like Berserk/One Piece/Vinland Saga. Also is it against the rules to talk about online manga reader sites? I don't think there is any official service like Crunchyroll for Manga other than Crunchyroll or the Shounen Jump online but they contain only a few manga.

People post links to bato.to or kissmanga all the time so yeah it's generally fine. But it's on CR those tend to get posted instead. You ever read any Satoshi Mizukami? His main three series (Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer, Sengoku Youko, and Spirit Circle) are all all excellent, don't overstay their welcome but have very satisfying finales.

Onani Master Kurosawa is actually very good though? I tend to like Molester Man more, but both are very good.

i would also say onani master kurosawa is extremely good and worth reading, although i can understand why some people would be unable to get into it based on the premise.

Kurosawa is good but the fantasy scenes make it basically impossible to recommend to anyone.

Looks like even the translators were too embarrassed to translate the whole name. I'm guessing "Wanking Master Kurosawa" would scare too many people away.

No no i really doubt it. That said, the internet and world is a very different place when that came out and was the critical darling of adtrw. It'll speak to a certain kind if young anime dork, but i feel the the average age of adtrw has gone up and those sorta of people are probably gonna exist in some other warren.

I don't think anyone's "tricked" into reading Kurosawa by the fact that they didn't translate onani. I mean, folks call it Fap Note.

To be clear, its a weirdly compelling and strangely heartfelt story and i really enjoy it but you gotta tailor that recommendation.

It's a great story about a creeper growing up and becoming not, I'd recommend it to anyone who isn't turned off by anything sexual or offended by the idea of masturbation.

I don't remember much from Kurosawa, but if it's just a teenage dude having dumb sexual fantasies I don't think it's a big deal, not like the story presents him as anything but a doofus for most of it

the manga about a 9th grader jerking off is good and fine but it is not as good as the manga about the 44 year old friendless loser construction worker who doesn't want to be a loser anymore and tries to gain the respect of his coworkers

Fap note is the best description of how it starts, but not how it ends.

I mean I read it and still think it's a good read but when I tried to reread it a few years ago those made me super uncomfortable.

It does contain some pretty awful sexual harassment and aforementioned rape fantasies, there's a little more to it than "it's fine if you're not turned off by anything sexual." I'd still recommend it though, it's a good story about a lovely guy becoming a less lovely guy. Namtab posted:Fap note is the best description of how it starts, but not how it ends. What are you talking about, I loved the part when he revealed the tiny bottle of lube hidden in his watch.

I'm almost completely new to anime and i'd like to change that. Literally the only anime i've seen was Samurai Champloo, which i enjoyed but i'm looking for something different. I really, really loved Aeon Flux and i'm looking for anything that ticks off some of the same boxes that it did for me. I really liked the dystopian universe, the gloominess, the experimental nature, the distinctive art style, the "outsider" aspects of it, the smartness, and just the weirdness. Anything that captures half the spirit of it would probably be up my alley.

I really, really loved Aeon Flux and i'm looking for anything that ticks off some of the same boxes that it did for me. It's not really anime, but if you liked Aeon Flux, check out The Maxx. You might also enjoy Dead Leaves or Redline, although they're more manic than gloomy. Mononoke is a series of loosely connected ghost stories; it's historical but the world is so messed up with ghosts that the overall effect is still pretty oppressive. The Hundred Stories / Requiem From the Darkness is good too, same kind of deal. The Big O is a giant robot show that might as well be set in Gotham City, with a great sense of style. Some people hate the second season for how abstract it got but if you liked Aeon Flux you should be fine.

Ghost in the Shell (original movie or Stand Alone Complex are great), Ergo Proxy (maybe!), and hmmm, Serial Experiments Lain? Also if you've seen Samurai Champloo, I'm obligated to recommend Cowboy Bebop. It's different, but outstanding.

Serial Experiments Lain comes to mind when I hear the words "gloomy," "experimental," "outsider," and "weirdness." As does Kaiba, which throws in a distinctive art style. Really anything by Kaiba's director, Masaaki Yuasa, is probably going to fit that. Maybe start with his movie Mind Game, since it wouldn't be as much of a time commitment.

You might also like Psycho-Pass or Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. Also, it's a manga comic rather than an anime, but go check out BLAME! It'll suit your dystopian sci-fi interests to a tee, and there's a new print run now with large-print volumes containing two of the original volumes per.

Namtab posted:I'm quite clearly talking about the ending. You know I was going to say I was sure that (the non-joke equivalent) was part of the ending but then I realised that I last watched Death Note more than a third of my life ago so my memory of it probably isn't that good. I guess I have a recommendation of my own. Erostratus posted:I'm almost completely new to anime and i'd like to change that.

I second Psycho-Pass, Ghost in the Shell and will add Shinsekai Yori (From the New World) which is pretty different from the other two but still fits the main points you mentioned.

Fap note goes from a guy making elaborate plans to leave him cumrags somewhere to get revenge for a girl to a look at how revenge can gently caress you up, so it's really only an appropriate title for the first half
