(seriously, that ending fight is insane, and it doesn't even have any of the crazy DBZ poo poo from the rest of the story, it's just two dying men beating the unholy poo poo out of each other and hoping the other dies first. an actual dog posted:It's not as dark as the other shows you mentioned but try Kyousougiga. Also Blood Blockade Battlefront Both have been on my to-watch list for a while, good to know they're along similar lines!

posted in the Surreal Daily Life thread, but I figured some folks who don't read that might be curious and like to try it too, it's a new series with two chapters out and seems promising.Captain Invictus posted:I don't think I've ever seen a japanese furry artist, as far as I can remember(outside of recently when those Osamu Tezuka sketches were unearthed), only like...humans with catgirl ears/tails in anime, or the chimeras in FMA. This popped up on KM the other day and it's interesting. Looks like the artist only just started it, a second chapter just came out, haven't checked it out yet.

So I watch anime semi-infrequently but I have a very specific weakness for shows about cooking and food. Something about anime about food I just find fascinating. I have already seen and enjoyed: Food Wars Sweetness and Lightning Gourmet Girl Graffiti Tonkatsu DJ (I guess that counts) The one about the lady who eats at bars that I can never remember the name of despite being real good I would love some recommendations.

You definitely want to check out last season's Restaurant to Another World. Despite not being directly cooking-themed, Silver Spoon and Moyashimon are very food-centric and well worth a watch. Early Yakitate Japan might also fit, although you should be aware that the series peaks pretty early on, followed by a long decline into increasingly forced bad comedy.

fezball posted:You definitely want to check out last season's Restaurant to Another World. It completely slipped my mind that I watched this until you mentioned it. That show is decent, but very slow and repetitive even for food/cooking based anime. It picks up a bit in the second half when the various characters start to intermingle a bit more and at least answers some questions about the nature of the restaurant by the end. I was irritated by the fact the demon girl never learns to cook more than steamed potatoes though.

theres another show with the exact same premise in either the next season or the one after that, that will probably be better outside of that, you are still missing ristoranto paradiso. cooking papa is also great but only partially translated. if you want something completely ridicilious, check out yakitate japan

Hello anime folks, please recommend me an anime about fighting (no real preference between shonen and shojo) with a major female villain who's cool as hell and not defined by being threateningly horny. Like it's even okay if she's threateningly horny at times, so long as she has other real interesting stuff going on

Jormungand has Koko who is the protagonist but is also 100%, unquestionably, a Bond villain. Not an evil Bond girl, mind, but a Bond villain. A few of her antagonists are women too. Ushio and Tora has a... feminine-coded? non-human villain who is defined by being creepy as gently caress not so much because she / it is sexualized but because I mean jesus christ look at this thing. Sometimes she manifests as a humanoid woman. She's cool because a) she's terrifying b) she's voiced by Megumi Hayashibara and c) her ultimate fate is one of the best resolutions to a shonen villain's character arc ever.

Would Lust from Fullmetal Alchemist count? Sure, she's a sexy lady, but I don't think she ever actually does anything explicitly sexual, just like...goes on dates with and/or kills the poo poo out of some folks. She's a really rad character, and also a total bastard. edit: oh, how could we forget, TEPPU, where the protagonist IS the villain!  also full of ripped as poo poo fighting girls, which is fairly refreshing considering the general stick-like nature of most women in anime.

Fist of the North Star is the obvious one here, and it covers the schlocky 80's Mad Max style in all its glory exceedingly well. For something grittier, Wolf's Rain might work (it's not really that great in terms of story, but does a pretty good job with the bleakness of the setting), and I've heard good things about Desert Punk (but haven't seen it). And if you want something more colorful, Overman King Gainer and Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann are set in post-apoc scenarios, but don't really focus too hard on them.

I'll be honest, the artstyle is off putting to me, but if it's otherwise solid I'll give it a go. fezball posted:For something grittier, Wolf's Rain might work (it's not really that great in terms of story, but does a pretty good job with the bleakness of the setting), and I've heard good things about Desert Punk (but haven't seen it). I saw some episodes of Desert Punk ages ago. It had too many rear end shots for my taste (the protagonist was a perv), and was nothing special otherwise. Also suffered from a Gonzo-ending iirc. I was eventually going to see Wolf's Rain anyway because of the Kanno soundtrack, but I hadn't read anything else about it. Didn't realize it was post apocalyptic. The other stuff I've seen or not really interested.

It has a strong fantasy element to it, so it kind of depends on how you define the term - that said, it is very much about a broken world in the final stages of decline, so I'd say it fits.

girls' last tour is an anime about the two girls driving around a massive desolate city and thinking about why they continue to go on living in a world where there's virtually nobody left while meeting people who have their own obsessions that they cling to to give themselves reasons to live, to give you some idea

I'm looking for short, good OVAs and movies from the 80's and 90's, along the lines of Cyber City Oedo (GorfZaplen I understand your avatar now), Devilman, Grey, that are dubbed, heavy on the violence, not too heavy on the T&A. I'm doing an "old weird anime nite" and I want to go in as fresh as my friends. How's Baoh?
