Paracelsus posted:That one isn't quite so guilty. He's OP early, but then people in the fantasy world start reverse engineering his work and putting their own spins on it so the power level evens out somewhat. Sort of, but it is still mostly guilty. I'll call it a suspended sentence with community service.

If you want a good isekai type story you could also go read the web serial novel The Wandering Inn which while not an anime or even that similar to most light novels hits a lot of those story and setting beats rather well.

What are some good animes with tournament arcs or battle royale situations like in the Fate series? I have seen and liked the following. -Fate/Zero -Baki(manga) -Dragon Ball (martial art tournament) -Hunter x Hunter(hunter exam arc) -Naruto(exam arc) Those are the type of things I am looking for. I am watching One Piece and haven't reached Dressroa yet. I know Yu Yu Hakusho has some tournament arcs but other than that I don't know what else to watch.

You might as well watch Fate - Unlimited Blade Works next. The second season of My Hero Academia has a fantastic tournament arc. It's a classic shounen, which it sounds like you enjoy. I would stay away from Fate Apocrypha.

Just knocked out the first recommendation I followed from this thread, ACCA. I feel like it had a pretty slow beginning and ending that kind of deflated a lot of the interesting narrative threads, but its middle section was fantastic and it was a charming joy to watch throughout. Overall I'm glad I watched it, and appreciate the recommendation! Either Girls' Last Tour or Shinsekai Yori next, depending on how I'm feeling. Hopefully you guys continue to be trustworthy sources

I have already seen MHA season 1 so I will start with the season 2 for that even though I thought the first season was a bit too standard. GorfZaplen posted:Ring ni Kakero is a series of tournament arcs I will check it out. I am currently watching Ippo so I might wait to finish that before starting another boxing anime. Almost done with Ippo but it is a slog towards the end. Endorph posted:Have you seen Dragon Ball Super? Ignoring the stuff covering the movies it's basically two tournament arcs with a more normal arc stuck in between them. No I haven't seen Dragon Ball Super. Is it worth checking it out? I remember a few episodes having really bad art.

the arcs that were recapping the movies were really rushed and bad, but once they get to the actually new material with the universe 6 tournament the art's pretty consistent, mostly because they basically stole all the animators from Pretty Cure. https://sakugabooru.com/data/5d9c93ec32c116af11e8f79ad311a5b6.mp4

If you are willing to read manga instead, Negima has arguably the best tournament arc ever.

Tuxedo Catfish posted:Mirai Nikki I'm going to... cautiously second this like, whether or not this is a good rec really depends on what "tournament" or "battle royale" means in this scenario. if it's just any scenario where a bunch of people are told to kill each other and the last one standing gets a shiny thing, then, yeah, 100% go read or watch (preferably watch, and preferably dubbed) Mirai Nikki right the gently caress now because it rules. but with that said, if you're looking for a really clearly defined shonen tournament, Mirai Nikki doesn't have that. it's way more like Fate/zero than the shonen arcs listed, where the series is ultimately concerned with something only tangentially related and the tournament kinda goes completely off the rails after a certain point instead of the tournament being the #1 driving focus of everything. (honestly, the protags spend a pretty good chunk of time trying to avoid participating.) like, if you're looking for something along the lines of Fate, go for it, but if you're thinking more of the DB and HxH and Naruto tournaments... you'll probably still like it but it'll also probably throw you for a loop and seem like a bad rec for the question WeedlordGoku69 fucked around with this message at 15:15 on Jan 22, 2018 |

Noot sure if this is the right place to ask but w/e I like fighty animes, my girlfriend likes lesbian animes, and I've seen someone (Endorph possibly?) describe SYMPHOGEAR as a good lesbian fight-y anime. Is that true? The synopsis on wikipedia doesn't seem very promising but I have learned that anime synopsises are actually kinda bad at grabbing my attention. edit: actually added anime name, this is what i get for 3am anime posting Xun fucked around with this message at 11:10 on Jan 23, 2018 |

Xun posted:Noot sure if this is the right place to ask but w/e Though they're introduced literally sleeping in the same bed, which, come on. Also the voice actors have literally just said they're gay without anyone backpedaling. The show works mostly because the characters are really likable and vibrant and the show commits pretty heavily to their arcs. Later seasons lean more into goofy action comedy which is also a look that works well, the writer has a real head for wacky situations and triumphant turnarounds, though the third season really stumbles with how it tries to give Hibiki more of an arc. The second season has one of the most hilarious anime villains ever, a random white guy from Ohio who went to Harvard and does nothing but quote schwarzenegger movies while running screaming from any actual fight. Like I said however, the first season can be pretty all over the place in terms of tone, and you and your girlfriend would need to be willing to put up with some moderate fanservice. I'd describe it as more fanservice than your average shonen anime but less than, say, Kill la Kill. They dial it back noticeably after the first season but, yeah. The singing premise is kind of goofy on the face of it, but it works really well in my opinion. The characters getting a power up being accompanied by them literally singing a big song is a nice shtick, and there's some pretty solid music in there. Plus they get more inventive with in the second season, with things like two characters having a fight that is also essentially a j-pop equivalent to a rap battle, and some of the lyrics do actually give some insight into the characters. In Conclusion: results inconclusive. you can make your own decisions in this life, i can only hope to inform you. Other suggestions for Lesbian Fight-y anime: Canaan (More gunfights than shonen action, plot can be a little hard to follow but the action's really well done, the main character is female and in a fairly sweet relationship with a reporter girl that's pretty explicitly romantic though there are episodes where they aren't onscreen together, it's mostly towards the beginning and end of the series that their bit develops) El Cazador De La Bruja (Another gunfight based series, it's a sort of soft western, the main characters have a good dynamic, unlike Canaan the plot and characters actually follow a pretty reasonable track, slightly less explicitly gay but the characters are onscreen together for the entire show) those are two off the top of my head. if anyone else can think of any lesbian fight-y anime, please share so that we may all be blessed.

Also, since we just had Devilman: Crybaby as a thing, there's also Devilman Lady/Devil Lady. As it progresses it gets several serious Yuri undertones, though far more male gazey than your girlfriend might appreciate.

Hina Logic is a show from a couple of seasons ago that's ostensibly a magical girl battle show but it's set after the alternate universe invasion danger has passed and is mostly a slice of life cute girls doing stuff thing with a couple of battles thrown in. It's probably not really what you're looking for but it does have the bonus of pretty much ejecting the the 'sub' part of the main two girls relationship and mostly being text or at least as close to as these things ever get.

most of the stuff i can think of that's similar to Katanagatari would fall into kid shows, but when it comes to just good, visually interesting stuff i'd recommend working through Masaaki Yuasa and Kenji Nakamura's credits. Nakamura has a noticeable throughline in his use of color, but otherwise each series does take a different aesthetic. Yuasa pretty heavily changes his style between projects though.
