Princess Mononoke is pretty drat gruesome in its own right. Plenty of people get limbs cut off, along with a few decapitations.

I, on the other hand, loving loved Blood C, despite going into it with full foreknowledge of the possible content and kind of hating Elfen Lied. Oddly enough, I found it... charming. There were so many CLAMP touches in there, as well as pretty slick presentation that I just found it weirdly appealing.

Blood-C isn't very good, and the one thing that might have made it intriguing was the possibility that (major spoilers for the entire series) Saya's klutzy moeblob personality was part of the brainwashing her vampire stalker inflicted on her, and her real personality was as predatory as the various monsters' reaction to her would suggest. It would have been a neat statement to make, and I thought that was where it was going when the series ended with her looking furious and heading out for revenge. Unfortunately the movie took a giant steaming crap on that idea.

It is very good. There is a bit at the start that puts a lot of folks off, but is expanded on later in a way that absolutely in no way glorifies it. The world of AMB is one of my favorite real world fantasy settings, and the way it depicts godlike beings is really great. also, bosoms

the magus bride anime is stiff and the colors are too saturated, and all of the polish it has seemed to be directed at backgrounds and keeping things on model (yawn). the soundtrack is also annoying and used really intrusively. I'd recommend watching the prequel OVAs but skipping the main series and just reading the excellent manga.

Hiro Protagonist posted:Should I start with Fate/zero or the new Fate/stay night anime adaptation? They both kind of spoil each other, and people will argue back and forth about which one to start with, and which one is better, so just start with whichever one of those sounds more appealing to you. In terms of production they were made within a few years of each other by the same studio so they don't really differ that much even with them having different directors. the only real difference is that UBW leans more into goofier expressions/slapstick for its humor and even that's partly just a tone thing. For other fate anime: Fate/Stay Night (2006, deen) is a fairly bad adaptation of the VN and pretty much outmoded by UBW, even if it covers a different route of the game. Fate/Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works Movie (2011, deen) is a very bad movie adaptation of the UBW route of the VN and is completely outmoded by the UBW tv anime by UFOtable. Fate/Stay Night Heaven's Feel (2017, UFOtable) is a series of movies that should only be watched after UBW and maybe Fate/Zero. They're a good adaptation of the VN's strongest material, but the Heaven's Feel Route is only unlocked after clearing the other routes in the game for a reason - it relies a lot on knowledge of how the story 'should' go. Also, they aren't completed, so. Fate/Apocrypha (2017, A-1) is an adaptation of a spinoff novel that has no connections to fate/zero or ubw, minus some of the characters coming from the same legends as characters in the 'main' stuff and a couple of cameos. It takes place in an alternate timeline/universe, so it can be watched on its own, as a companion piece, whatever. It has some of the franchise's best characters but it also has way too many characters and a main character that's pretty much unanimously really, really boring. Some amazing action animation, though, especially in the latter half. Fate/Extra Last Encore (2018, shaft) is an adaptation of a spinoff game that has few connections to any other part of the fate universe. It's shaft, so it's pretty wacky with its production and rewrites a lot of the game's plot in weird directions. It isn't finished airing, so I can't offer a definitive opinion on it. Regardless, it'd be a pretty weird entry point since its storytelling isnt as standard as F/A. Endorph fucked around with this message at 04:47 on Mar 11, 2018 |

Either one is going to spoil a couple of surprises from the other, but I think you'll have a good time either way. I find Fate/Zero to be stronger overall. Fate/Apocrypha bored me to tears.

Some amazing action animation, though, especially in the latter half. Made the mistake of watching this during a slow day. Both main characters are excruciatingly boring. Thank goodness almost every other master/servant combo is not.

Thanks, I was somewhat aware of Fate/stay night, and actually watched half the 04 version, but I could tell it wasn't that good. Glad to know I have a bit of freedom.

it looks great, if a bit stiff, but the story lacks any sort of cohesive theme and the characters don't have much to them. worth streaming or renting but i wouldn't go to a theatrical screening unless you just want to see some beautiful backgrounds and a pretty stunning finale.

So there was this manga I read bits of about girls playing a pen-and-paper RPG. I can't remember the name of it, but I'd be interested if anyone made an anime using that premise.

I'm looking for something with some jerky bandits doing horrible things and then getting their asses kicked for it. Kenshin, Hokuto no Ken, Berserk, these things all have that kind of stuff to varying degrees. I don't necessarily want to see them getting destroyed by overpowered badasses, either. I am just looking to see abusive over-confident crimelords/bandits get what's coming to them. Any era, realistic or otherwise, is cool with me.

Hey would you guys mind helping me narrow down a rapidly ballooning watch list now that I'm about to finish all three animes I'm currently watching? For context, here's what I've liked most according to my MAL ratings: - Monster - Devilman Crybaby - Flip Flappers - Girls' Last Tour - A Place Further than the Universe And here's what I've liked least: - Haruhi Suzumiya - Mawaru Penguindrum (dropped about 2/3 of the way in) - Shin Sekai Yori (dropped about 1/3 of the way in) - Fate/Apocrypha (dropped about halfway in) - Violet Evergarden (dropped after a 3-episode test) With that in mind, please recommend something off this list. My work schedule is pretty brutal, so watching any of these is likely gonna be a several-week commitment, even if I end up really adoring them: - The Devil is a Part-Timer - Kino's Journey (I'm led to believe that the 2003 one, not the recent one, is the correct one to watch?) - Konosuba - Little Witch Academia - Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid - Recovery of an MMO Junkie - Space Patrol Luluco Thanks so much in advance, guys

You can watch Luluco in an evening. The episodes are only 5 - 10 minutes long. I would throw my hat into Konosuba. Despite a lot of the ecchi humor, the characters are just great. Though, you'll get a little more out of it if you have a history of playing fantasy RPGs. I hear good things about Dragon Maid, too. But, I've never seen it.
