Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust? Ninja Scroll? Some boobies in that one, iirc. Madox-01 is nothing special, but has nice mechanical detail. I binged on a bunch of 80/90s ovas two years ago--there's a tonne just on YouTube--unfortunately I'm bad at remembering names and titles.

Baoh would be good for that. Also Psychic Wars, Goku Midnight Eye, M.D. Geist, Cybernetics Guardian, Devilman: The Birth, Dog Soldier just to name a few would all be good. It has a lot of sex and nudity in it but Mad Bull 34 tops them all

Anybody remember an anime film taking place on a desert planet, with giant sandborne battlecruisers? There's some kind of weird conspiracy that involves people involuntarily(?) spying on military personnel---I think aliens were involved. The finale has robosuits, flying saucers and some sort of time ticking bomb, iirc. That was an example of a dumb* but fun and watchable 90s anime movie. I wanted to say it was Venus Wars but that's not it. -- *May have been very dumb, don't quite remember.

Are there any anime (or live action movies) similar to the game series Yakuza? And general Japanese crime dramas I guess can fit. I haven't watched the Miike film based directly on the game yet because I heard not so great things, so if anyone wants to go to bat for that please do.

Not anime but a good amount of the manga that Ryoichi Ikegami has worked on have been yakuza/crime stuff esp. Crying Freeman, Sanctuary and Strain. Crying Freeman has an early 90's OAV based on it which starts off fairly strong but gets more ridiculous and poorly animated as it goes on. Also while it's not yakuza or crime-y you could try Fist of the Northstar which was obviously a huge influence on Kiryu's character when they were making the original game. All the animated versions are either pretty old or incomplete for that though. Sakurazuka fucked around with this message at 10:44 on Nov 24, 2017 |

Maybe 91 Days? It's more an anime take on an American mob story, and the production is a bit rough in spots, but it's quite good regardless.

StandardVC10 posted:Currently airing Girls' Last Tour is excellent, if you're not already watching it. The Colonel posted: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 glad I---somewhat capriciously---decided to ask for recommendations, I would've missed this otherwise. I've discovered a bunch of great stuff!

Jenny Angel posted: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 i kind of want to recommend Mirai Nikki, but it might not be quite what you're looking for since Yuno basically constantly bounces between "major villain" and "secondary protagonist" and is also a yandere (though a way more believable and well-rounded example of the archetype than most) regardless she's a major female villain for at least part of the show and fuckin rules so it might be up your alley

Rinkles posted:The setting's interesting, art's great, but so far it's ticking off all the shonen mecha tropes one by one. That's not really my thing. Think something later on would change my mind? it handles its side cast infinitely better than a lot of shonen mecha shows and does a lot to flesh them all out but it's still ultimately a show where gainer finds a way to beat up the robot of the week so if that's not your thing then yeah you might wanna just drop it

The Shortest Path posted:I'm looking for something really sad. The type of sad doesn't really matter, just a persistent sad theme throughout most or at least a good part of the show. If you’re open to movies, consider Anthem of the Heart, which is also done by the Anohana staff (and is also more effective than Anohana, imo). Colorful is another teenage drama movie, but a very different flavor, and has more of a persistent atmosphere of misery throughout the whole film. Its cast also has very few if any roles in other anime, so it will probably sound pretty distinct from what you’re used to hearing.
