Eela6 posted:I've been checking this out. I'm liking it but not loving it. I like the slice-of-life bits where Konnosuke adjusts to modern life, and there's a cool sense of physicality to the mech fights I really enjoy. The mechs trip each other and bodyslam each other: you can 'feel' the mechs' centers of gravity shifting, which is really neat and surprisingly realistic. I watched most of the first cour. I liked it for the most part but it's one of PA Works lesser shows for sure. It doesn't have the frenetic energy of Shirabako or Iroha (which is what I was hoping for, character wise) but it's not an irritating unpleasant slog like glasslip. I'm not super sold on the mecha design outside of the protagonist suit, but there's stroy reasons to indicate it'll get more intense later on.

1) I loved Steins;gate and the big epiphany/revelation at the end (how everything fits together; the masterplan) Then I watched Erased. Loved that too. Also sort of a big reveal and payoff. Both of these also grabbed me really early on as I needed to know how everything was gonna play out. Is there anything else that's like that? Some grand mystery with a sweet payoff where everything falls into place. Doesn't have to be time travel, but I suppose a good time travel story lends itself to big epiphany payoffs in the end. 2) Separate question that is a little more vague, where can I find more gun action like this: https://files.catbox.moe/8cti5d.webm I watched Under the Dog and loved the action sequences of it. Unfortunately as far as I can tell, they've given up on the project after episode 0. Anything that has action sequences like that above clip? Doesn't have to be a schoolgirl. Or it can. 3) Is there anything that's like the first episode of Gai Rei Zero? Except like, a whole season of that, not just one teasing episode?

Just be prepared for brainwashed children turned into killing machines using questionable methods. That said, series actually goes into character relationships in a non-creeper way that points out how hosed up it all is. Until season 2. don't watch season 2. Read the mangas instead if you get into it at all.

It's less of a complicated plan and more that there's one big secret that turns out to be incredibly important in the end, and coincides with the emotional payoff of the whole series. It also doesn't hurt that it's gorgeous (and by the same studio as Steins;Gate). Also now that I think of it the show they made right after Steins;Gate has aspects of that too -- Jormungand is basically a show with a bond villain as the protagonist, complete with a secret master plan with noble intentions but really dubious methods that doesn't get revealed till near the end.

Occultic;Nine is fast, frantic, and has a really fun series of twists and reveals. It's nowhere near as good as Steins;gate, but for a short 12 ep show I found it to be super, super engaging and fun.

ghost in the shell provides some good shooting scenes and hasnt been mentioned yet, jin roh as well. cat poo poo one is a pretty good cgi short thats 90% gunfights. shinsekai yori is good with the mystery, mouryo no hakko is a great mystery but its also an adaption of book 2 in a series of novels

Here's a request for recommendation : Shows like Vandread, with or without the fanservice (I really don't care either way). Mainly looking for comedic space opera stuff. I've already watched Martian Successor Nadesico and Irresponsible Captain Tylor.

Same with Bebop.

The last animes I watched were Sailor Moon Death Note Ghost in the Shell Inuyasha Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Trigun Spice and Wolf Code Geass My Hero Academia I'm interested in anything fantasy/sci-fi. I also like it when fantasy/sci-fi shows have an A/B structure where the A story is slice-of-life, like Sailor Moon

galenanorth posted:The last animes I watched were These are mostly action shows. How do you feel about comedy/action? Konosuba might be up your alley, or Assassination Classroom - definitely a mix of SOL and action in both. Considering you have Trigun, Sailor Moon, and My Hero Academia on there, you probably have a pretty high tolerance for silly-cool. In that case, you might want to go full Symphogear  ED: So I've burned out on trying to like Mecha stuff, for now. I'll give Patlabor a shot down the line, but so far nothing's really done it for me. So here's a request that's pretty different. I haven't seen a lot of SOL, but I have seen Demi-Chan Wa Katinari, and I loved it. There's a basic kindness and patience to it that I did not expect. It's a very refreshing show. What's something that feels like Demi-Chan? The tone is the most important thing - I don't give a whit whether it has monster girls in it or whatever.

It's hard to pick one with quite the same 'feel' as that, but Non Non Biyori, Tanaka-kun Is Always Listless, Flying Witch, Silver Spoon and K-On are all solid and relaxed SOL shows, so have a look at them and see if any grab your interest? Worth noting that K-On season 1 is a bit meh, but season 2 is waaay better. Most of the shows I mentioned are also on Crunchyroll.

I’ve recently been rewatching My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU and Hyouka, and just yesterday I watched Koe no Katachi. And I don’t know how best to put it, but they’ve put me in the mood for more anime and manga that are similarly deeply interested in exploring their characters. I suppose you could say character drama but that feels a bit vague. All those stories explore the complexity of communication and have elements of mystery. Looking for any manga and anime that this might make you think of. Doesn’t have to be set in highschool. I’m also reading, and really enjoying, the Spice and Wolf light novels - does anyone have any recommendations for light novels that read this well/have good translations? What are generally considered to be the benchmarks for LN translations?

I will also recommend Pluto, by the author of Monster, which is his take on Astro Boy with alot of mystery/detective type stuff in it. Great read. vvv: Also good. If you read the premise it might make you raise an eyebrow, but it's a great cumming of age tale. Kokoro Wish fucked around with this message at 23:22 on Jul 29, 2017 |

I absolutely love Pluto, and hope it sees a series or film adaptation. Naoki Urasawa is a master of faces and there are some really devastating panels in those books. Onani Master Kurosawa actually sounds like it could really on the mark!

I'd imagine you've likely seen it, but just in case you haven't, Evangelion (the TV series and End of Eva) is what I'd suggest. Though to a much lesser degree, I'd also say Steins;Gate (and if you don't mind VNs, its sequel Steins;Gate 0) has a pretty great focus on its characters and a great mystery. EDIT: Hocus Pocus posted:I absolutely love Pluto, and hope it sees a series or film adaptation. Pretty sure a series got announced just recently - one (hour?) long episode per volume, though it's not happening for ages. 2018, maybe?
