I've been on a bit of a manga tear recently and was wondering if ya'll had any good recommendations for space opera and/or mecha, manga series? When I google I mostly get suggested LoGH, Code Geass, and Gundam anime series, which are good examples of what I'm after, I just happen to want manga.

I'm a big fan of the Ken Ishikawa Getter mangas. The 70s ones are kinda rough but they build up into something genuinely fantastic. I also quite liked Linebarrels of Iron, though the translation is spotty at best. The Plot to Assassinate Gihren is a Gundam manga which is quite good, but it assumes the reader is familiar with the original Gundam series so if you haven't seen that you should probably skip it.

Thanks everyone! Started Knights of Sidonia (very interesting monster designs), and I'm looking forward to checking out the rest. Especially those 70s/early 80s ones. I haven't read much manga at all from the 70s and early 80s outside of the most famous examples.

Any good shounens to watch, manga only if there is no anime of it. I have watched the big ones. Bleach, Naruto, One Piece, FMA Brotherhood, One Punch Man, HxH and Jojo. Jojo and HxH are probably my favorites. Didn't like bleach after first 2 arcs and Naruto after the first season. One Piece is pretty great throughout but the anime's quality is inconsistent. I tried watching Boku No Hero because of all the hype but it is the most generic show I have ever watched. It has 0 creativity imo, the initial premise of a kid with no powers was great but they ditched that pretty fast. The character designs is the only good thing about.

Mob psycho 100 is so much better than OPM that it makes me sad that the latter is now much more well known. Not that OPM is bad but Mob psycho 100 is absolutely amazing.

Yeah I can see why someone would not immediately take to MHA after the first arc, it does get better and I think it's really drat good, but the "oh no Deku exploded his arms AGAIN" period does drag on a lot

For the people saying MHA gets better. I did watch 4-5 episodes of the 2nd season and still didn't find it enjoyable. Deku is a really annoying protagonist he cries way too much for no reason. Also Kachan? Whatever his name is an rear end in a top hat 24/7 for what? I forgot because it wasn't even a good reason for him to up Deku's rear end all the time. All Might was the only interesting character because he is basically superman who is slowly dieing but they don't focus on him that much.Bongo Bill posted:Fist of the North Star should be required reading or viewing if you have a specific interest in the genre. Watched it a long time ago. Liked it but it definitely felt a bit longer than it needed to be. Tuxedo Catfish posted:This is almost exactly my taste in shonen, so I'm going to recommend Kekkaishi because I loved it. I have pretty much heard of most shounen anime but never heard of this. I will watch a few episodes. GorfZaplen posted:Fist of the North Star, Saint Seiya, Ring ni Kakero, Mob Psycho 100. I have seen Fist of The North Star and Mob Psycho 100. Both were great. Ring ni Kakero I had in my watchlist but never started it. Also Saint Seiya I watched the original up until they defeat a few of the golden knights is it worth completing? I liked the premise alot but I remember a lot of the animation being reused like way too much. I might actually go back to it. Are any of the spin offs/sequels worth it? Hunt11 posted:What in particular are you looking for in a show? I am not really sure. I have a wide taste. I can enjoy very basic shounen like DBZ or Naruto because the fights are so well done but I also enjoy more adventure style shounen like OP/HxH. My favorite shounen would be HxH, Jojo, OPM/MobPsycho(for comedy) and One Piece out of the big 3 popular ones. Gintama is also great as shounen comedy. I also enjoy sports anime like Yowapedal, Kuroko no Basket. I am watching Ippo first season but I have trouble finishing it. I am at like episode 60. It isn't fast pace like shounen anime or modern sport shows. I wish it was more ridiculous with the abilities but it is mostly grounded in reality. These are mangas I REALLY enjoyed Vinland Saga, Berserk, anything by Fukumoto(Kaiji writer), Baki The Grappler, Claymore. As you can see most of these are a bit mature. I don't know why but they don't feel edgey like Akame ga Kill which I thought would be the anime version of these types of mangas. Big mistake watching that show. I have been really interested in reading Toriko and Kingdom. Not sure how good they are but they might be weird/different enough to fit my taste. Also I haven't read the manga for Jojo. I kept hearing the translations of it are very hit or miss.

maybe garo: vanishing line? It's kind of a dark action roadtrip thing. it's a bit slow in spots but i liked the cast a lot and it had great fights, though it wasn't like a straight action thing, like I said towards the second half it almost developed into a roadtrip story. Still a good amount of action, though. You might be into blood blockade battlefront too, it's a mostly-episodic shonen comedy with some stellar action when it goes for a full action episode, though the first season is better in that regard than the second since the director changed. It's got some really great gags and a stellar setting. It's by the creator of trigun if you've ever seen that. Actually, if you've never seen it, trigun would be a good rec too.

Your preference between seasons will depend heavily in whether or not you find the anime-original parts of the first season boring or not. The second season is just straight adaptations of manga stories, so instead of a tepid arching narrative it's just pure mindless fun from start to end.

The second season is a huge step up narratively, even if the direction isn't quite on the same level.

I liked the premise alot but I remember a lot of the animation being reused like way too much. I might actually go back to it. Are any of the spin offs/sequels worth it? It's absolutely worth finishing the main series of Saint Seiya. The entire Gold Saints arc is incredible and the Asgard arc after it is probably the best anime original arc in a shonen anime. After that is the Poseidon arc which isn't as good as Asgard but it's only 12 episodes long. It's an 80s shonen series so it never looks incredible but after the Gold Saint arc it has a more consistent aesthetic and doesn't reuse animation as much. I wouldn't watch anything past that though, the Hades arc was made decades after and has awful looking digipaint art. It's also pretty light on the action and heavy on the dialogue and is basically a rehash of the Poseidon arc but three times as long. I've heard good things about The Lost Canvas but haven't seen it myself. Soul of Gold is decent but whether you like it or not depends on how much you care about the Gold Saints.

The first dozen Hades episodes or so should still be worth watching and are probably the most interesting part of the storyline. I've skimmed through a few Youtube videos and they don't look too bad. It helps that they were directed by Shigeyasu Yamauchi (known for working on Casshern Sins and several of the more stylistically interesting episodes from the old Saint Seiya TV series plus some standalone movies). What really looks ugly and low budget comes afterwards, with Inferno and the rest of the Hades arc, largely because they kicked out the director. Why? Supposedly the mangaka, Masami Kurumada, didn't like his work on the fifth Saint Seiya movie (thus confirming that one can be the original creator of something and still be clueless about artistic merit). So, after that first Hades arc is done...I'd recommend stopping and maybe just reading the manga if anyone wants to see how it ended. wielder fucked around with this message at 10:21 on Jun 6, 2018 |

Julias posted:Gonna throw you a curveball and say Zatch Bell (Gash Bell). yeah how did this not get mentioned yet, it's very good, very silly, and completed, and ends strong. Read the manga though, as the anime ends like two arcs before the final arc, which is one of the best finishing arcs I can recall.

Akame ga Kill is weird because for the most part it is kind of lovely, but it does also have a couple interesting moments that hint at the show being better then it actually is. In terms of recommendations I would go with the first couple seasons of Soul Eater and then switch over to the manga once it veers towards original anime content. Also Hellsing Ultimate might be another show that you would enjoy watching.
