Full Metal Panic has some elements of that after the first few episodes of high school comedy beats. The general military aesthetic is pretty good there.

I'm probably going to get back titles I've already seen or heard of, but... here goes nothing. I want mecha war stories. Like Gundam (UC Gundam) where they're as fairly realistic as you can get with giant robots. Off the top of my head I can think of things like Gasaraki (great first half with incredible battle sequences, then the plot goes full-bore stupid), VOTOMs (ish) and probably everything Tomino ever did, like Brain Powerd and King Gainer and so on. ... I know some of those are less war stories, but go with it. I want gritty mecha/robot stuff, I've been watching too much Precure and Fighbird and need to feel stoic again.

Looking it up again, it seems exactly like what I want right now, thanks! e: drat, but that opening is poignant. Melancholy, yet determined. Then it opens with this shot, and moves into a skirmish being set up so they can cut off a supply line, and okay, this is exactly what I want, thank you again!

Knorth posted:Oh, the new Kitaro show is meant to be good for goofy ghosts and such there's also the 2007 Hakaba Kitaro which was a short run much more focused on horror than the current kid friendly one. and despite not sharing any main staff it has some aesthetic choices that remind me of Mononoke.

second gig isn't as good as the first season, but compared to most anime it's goddamn fine art. just compared to its previous season it's a bit lacking, but still really, really good.

help I have a very long flight and I thought it might be good to have a shounen to watch since they're fast paced and you can just keep watching for hours on end. I haven't watched any shounen since Bleach and Naruto when I was a kid, except for Hunter x Hunter which I did really like. What's the next best thing after HxH?

Paperhouse posted:help Yu Yu Hakusho is by the same author as HxH and is basically a slightly more conventional version of it. (By which I mean, basically, it finishes its tournament arcs instead of just leaving them when it gets bored.  )Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is a good choice for something that has that same balance of grim and hopeful. Jojo's Bizarre Adventure is the gold standard for fights primarily resolved by creative thinking and the interplay of weird powers, so if you liked that aspect of HxH try it out. (And stick through Part I -- JJBA starts out as a fairly shameless Fist of the North Star imitator before it really defines its own identity. It's still good right from the start but it becomes so much better as it goes.)

Paperhouse posted:help Others have already Mentioned Yu Yu Hakusho. I'd also reccomend Soul Eater as it's got a great cast of characters, can be funny at times, and the world and music is just so stylish it gives it a really cool, unique vibe. Also has a bunch of cool fight scenes that switch up fighting styles frequently.

Death Parade has some great stuff for that. People who die at the same time are sent to a spiritual bar, then they gotta play a game to see if they get reincarnated or sent to hell.

I wouldn’t really call it dark, but Towards the Terra is a compelling series if you like tragedies of circumstance. You want the TV version though, not the movie.
