The Shortest Path posted:Noir is, imo, the worst of Kajiura's soundtracks, and that says a lot about her music. Noir only had a handful of good songs, but those were really good. The soundtrack was really drug down by the overuse of the music box piece for every goddamn flashback.

HxH has world-class villains in general. Revolutionary Girl Utena has an abundance of smug pretty boys who range from "kind of a jerk" to "basically evil incarnate."

If you like Slice-of-Life with a light fantasy element, you might enjoy Demi-Chan Wa Katanari - it is very lighthearted & cute while still having real characters & something to say. I've been having fun with Anime-Gataris, too, but it occasionally feels too much like an industry promotional video for me to wholeheartedly recommend. When those jokes land, though, boy do they land. Eela6 fucked around with this message at 19:28 on Dec 12, 2017 |

In addition to the other suggestions, Monthly Girls/Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun is great. Ought to be on Crunchyroll and (I think?) HIDIVE if you’re subscribed to either.

There are a ton of good comedy shorts that have aired since those shows: Tonkatsu DJ Agetarou, Senyuu, Hackadoll, My Neighbor Seki, Miss Monochrome, Wooser's Hand to Mouth Life, Tesagure Bukatsumono, Ai Mai Mii, Shonen Ashibe Go Go Goma-chan, Bonobono, Gakuen Handsome, Miss Bernard Says, Love Rice, and Sekko Boys. For full-length comedy: Gabriel Dropout, The Disastrous Life of Saiki K, Handa-kun, Sabagebu, Space Dandy, Barakamon, Hoozuki's Coolheadedness are some that haven't been mentioned. e: i think most or all of these should still be on Crunchyroll, even

Ulio posted:Any good animes with great villains? Like Johan Liebert from Monster, Griffith from Berserk. I just want to comment that Johan Liebert is one of the few true villains I've ever found outright-terrifying. You know you've got a good villain when just seeing them sitting calmly in a room talking with anyone has you panicking over just what the gently caress they're about to do at any given moment  .Episodes 25-30 are legit some of the most anxiety-inducing television drama I've ever seen, because you know Richard is going to get bumped off, you just spend the entire time waiting for the other shoe to drop. And dear god does it drop  .

Ulio posted:Any good animes with great villains? Like Johan Liebert from Monster, Griffith from Berserk.  Dude wears a hawaiian shirt and has a pink rose on his white suit, but he's pretty much the most callous and cruel guy in the Marines Crocodile's a rad bad dude too  There's like 100+ other villains throughout since One Piece is so massive, and most of them are fantastic in their own right even if they don't show up again(though the East Blue baddies aren't much for the most part, things really kick off when the first main arc happens once they head to the Grand Line). They often get a cover story(one of One Piece's greatest aspects imo) that goes into what happens with them after the story has moved on past them. Read the manga, don't watch the anime though, the anime is interminable. Oh, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, as well. The various Sins are really, really good, particularly Lust, Greed and Envy. And Kimblee is a total monster and I love him for it.

Can someone help me with which of the FATE animes I should watch and in which order? As far as I can tell, there's 1. Fate/Stay Night (2006) 2. Fate/Zero (2011) 3. Fate/Stay Night (2014) 4. Fate Apocrypha (2017) I just want the cool anime battles known for its animation, so do I start with #2 or #3?

e: actually for your purposes TheColonel is probably right, I had an answer here but when I finished typing it out I realized it was way more focused on plot / spoiler order than on animation quality and thus not really what you were asking for just absolutely do not watch the 2006 show, it's a garbage fire Tuxedo Catfish fucked around with this message at 23:40 on Jan 3, 2018 |

ufarn posted:Can someone help me with which of the FATE animes I should watch and in which order? 2006 is an insanely bad adaptation, I'd rather a person watch/read none of the franchise at all rather than watch it. Apocrypha is very dull and generally considered one of the weakest Fate stories and should probably be skipped. Best route is still the play the visual novel if you are able to manage it.

2006 is a confusing mess that isn't really a good adaption of the stay night route, while also having elements of the other two routes in to really mix things up. As long as ubw explains the basic premise and the stuff you learn in stay night there's no reason to watch 2006

Start with Fate/Zero imo, it's probably the best VN adaptation anime ever made. Also, since it's a technically a prequel, you won't have a lot of the end parts spoiled(ish) by F/SN.

Yeah Fate/Zero basically spoils the big twists of F/SN's 1st and 3rd route. Also of note is that Fate/Zero's plotlines don't actually have any completed animated follow-up yet other than the 2006 adaptation which is a messy version of the 1st route. UBW focus's more on Shirou/Archer stuff and kills off the fate/zero plot threads, so it's somewhat disconnected (though still important in setting up plot elements in Heaven's Feel). Heaven's Feel's first movie did finally come out, so the proper conclusion to both Fate and Zero is eventually coming out.

I am gonna change my recommendation to "just watch Fate Zero" - it's a self contained story and by far my favorite of the 3 Fates I've watched. ISKANDAR rules.

Fate/Zero is a story that I liked a lot when I first saw it the but the more time removed from it the more I dislike it. The characters outside of the Gil/Kotomine, and the Iskandar/Waver duos are kind of bad or if you're being kind just sort of not that interesting. Kiritsugu in particular is an insufferable edgelord whom large swaths of the fandom seemed to miss the point with his character arc and what it's actually meant to get across. I also just kind of have come to appreciate the more lighthearted/comedic parts of the Fate franchise so Fate/Zero with its super dour take is just kind of a killjoy that I have no interest in ever revisiting. I think it's a neat little story that added some nice backstory, but also ultimately one that doesn't really stand on its own as an actually good work. I like it as a prequel to FSN and outside of that relationship I could honestly leave it at this point. Nate RFB fucked around with this message at 14:55 on Jan 4, 2018 |

Also, since it's a technically a prequel, you won't have a lot of the end parts spoiled(ish) by F/SN. fate/zero isn't even based on a vn also TBH If you want to experience Fate I'd say just read the original VN. I don't think any of the adaptations really capture everything that makes it worthwhile. I understand reading an 80 hour VN is a hard sell, but I just don't think any of the adaptations are worthwhile on their own. Ufotable's UBW isn't terrible or anything, but it's missing a lot of what I love about the VN, and ufotable's heaven's feel movies seem pretty good but wouldn't work without Fate and UBW preceding them, and also won't be finished until like 2020. Like, if you don't want to read the VN, I'd say just don't bother. If you REALLY just want anime battles, then Zero, UBW, and Apocrypha are all fine, but you'd probably be better off skipping any talky bits that go on too long. Or honestly, if you want ufotable fighting, watch the Kara no Kyoukai movies, they're a bunch fo movies so they're easier to swallow and they all end with big fights, and they're actually good stories.
