Captain Invictus posted: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. 2nd gig is really good. Both seasons were great, the first season was super good when it approached its climax which made it all the more memorable, but the second season was pretty good in the rising action and while the climax and ending was fine it didn't have the same impact and resolution the first season's did. If there is anyone who reads this post and hasn't watched both seasons of GITS why are you reading this post go watch both seasons of GITS right now. Paperhouse posted:help One Piece itself maybe? It's about what you're looking for, although there are some skippable episodes. Or you could read the entire One Piece manga, which is the most famous manga ever for a drat good reason, and definitely is the next best thing to HxH.

The one piece anime is mostly utter loving garbage past a certain point and even beforehand has a ton of filler and pacing issues and this is coming from someone whose favorite series ever is one piece It exemplifies every problem with weekly shonen anime that was solved by series like my hero academia with seasons. The manga, however, would last a good long while on a plane trip what with the 900+ chapters and is outstanding. Plus there's a colored version that is surprisingly well done.

Captain Invictus posted:Wasn't the one Zoids show where it was like some sort of tournament game show with robot judges kinda that? I recall most episodes being shenanigans and tomfoolery for half with like shopping or going out to eat or figuring out finances/maintenance and then having some real good robot animal fightin' You're thinking of Zoids: New Century, and it's a pretty decent show.

I'm suddenly realizing how thematically or at least superficially similar Casshern Sins and Hollow Knight are. Like - the infection, the broken world, the raw somberness in every interaction, the MC being a lynchpin in the fate of the world, cute secondary characters. Even just the dark art style. I should rewatch Casshern Sins... Impulse was Trinity Blood but likely not. Hellsing seems too obvious. Then I saw the pun.

the old hxh has some more interesting visuals in places, especially around yorknew, but once it hits greed island it kind of becomes a shitshow and the 2011 anime covers all of chimera ant and the short arc after it which is like half of the entire story

Little Witch Academia was fantastic and anyone who is a fantasy/sci-fi fan will probably appreciate it. The first episode feels like a Harry Potter adaptation, but it starts being completely original after the first episode. I hope it gets a third season someday.

After like 100 hours or whatever I have finally finished Yu-No. That was sure one hell of a ride.Davincie posted:yu-no is incredibly influental and none of these vns with gameplay would exist without it, its well written, it looks great, has a fantastic soundtrack, a likeable cast (with the best tsundere there is), a deep and interactive time travel system, more choices than 90% of vns, a point and click system with puzzles that can get annoying and its gigantic This is very accurate. It was really cool how the paths flowed together and never really felt awkward despite there being like 5 different ways you could have gotten to any point. It's also super weird how blatantly Virtue's Last Reward seems to have pretty much just copied the entire core concept outright. Nate RFB posted:Maybe the recent remake features ample rewrites and makes it less skeevy, but the original at least was extremely repugnant and reprehensible and I would not recommend it. This is, however, also incredibly and horrifically accurate, to the point where I really would never tell anyone to play it ever, and kind of feel embarrassed to mention I played it.

The past few days I've rewatched Laughing Target, Maris the Chojo, and some Dirty Pair (specifically a TV episode and Project Eden) and I'm in a Violently 80s mood. No dramas please, and while introspection isn't unwelcome it's certainly not necessary (although I will say that there's a lot more to unpack in Laughing Target than I'd remembered!). No Akira. No romance without explosions. Bubblegum Crisis is a pretty good example of what I'm sniffing around for but I'm not specifically digging for a scifi or cyberpunk feel.

The OG Fist of the North Star, Mad Bull 34... maybe Crying Freeman are up your neighborhood? Though I admit that the latter two might be cheating, since they were technically produced in the early 90's, if I remember my violent OVA's lore right.

Cybercity Oedo 808. I recommend the Manga Entertainment dub as long as you have a tolerence for 80s/90s level swearing.

Looking for a Manga rec. So i have ADHD and that's made reading Manga pretty hard for me, as I typically lose steam after a few chapters and put it down and never look it up again, typically because I realize I'm looking at a panel and have no idea what sequence of events led to the picture im viewing. So, what I'm looking for is: A Manga that isn't more novel than Manga Art that is clean and easy to parse/follow The only Manga that I've been able to consistently read and enjoy so far is the one punch man redraw. My personal interests: Action is cool. So is comedy. Things that are kind of bizarre or gross (body horror kind of stuff) I find pretty interesting visually, though that frequently comes with art that's harder for me to follow Mecha I also enjoy I don't super mind there being a bunch of tits but they can not be high schooler tits I'm also not really into horror, though I tend to love horror-aesthetic, if that makes sense? Like hellsing borrows from horror visually but I'm not exactly going to go to bed and have nightmares about it

Though I admit that the latter two might be cheating, since they were technically produced in the early 90's, if I remember my violent OVA's lore right. Mad Bull 34 is the only one of those three I hadn't seen, so I gave it a shot. I barely made it through one episode because I don't know if I could've been less prepared for the mix of humorous violence and violent humor. In maybe the first ten minutes there's two decapitations-by-gunshot, a cop shoves his finger into the anus of a crying and urinating female bystander, and a mob of naked prostitutes tries to deflower a young police cadet. I've seen plenty of weird combinations in anime and media in general but something about the way the individual details of this show came together seemed very off to me. This should almost be called The Shield: An Anime Comedy. How is the casual violence here different or worse than the thousands of innocent bystanders who casually eat it in any number of Dirty Pair adventures? All I can say at the moment is that the ostensibly wondrous but quietly despairing tone of Dirty Pair works for me a lot more than the blood-soaked concrete jungle with laughs that Mad Bull tries. I will, however, give you bonus points for recommending two things from my youth that I've seen and enjoyed. Both FotNS and Crying Freeman make me nostalgic for the old days of "I have no idea what this is but it exists and we don't get new tapes around here often" in. Kokoro Wish posted:Cybercity Oedo 808. I recommend the Manga Entertainment dub as long as you have a tolerence for 80s/90s level swearing.  I'm so used to shows taking scenes off so that more money could go into specific shots and it feels like that never happens here. There's little nonsense things I could probably complain about with all three episodes but ultimately I don't care because I had a wonderful and gorgeous time. And, yes, the dub is pretty great. Once the first episode was over I was very ready to not spend so much time with Sengoku, who was fine but not someone I wanted as a main character all the time, and the show agreed! Having each part focus on a different inmate was a good call from the producers. It's a little weird how the first episode has basically nothing for Benten to do, though, but whatever. Nitpicking. The first episode was a fine introduction but the next two episodes were better. Episode two was probably my favorite because at first I didn't buy that Gogol would be the focus of so much attention but by the end, yeah, I was convinced that he was someone who would find himself in such a spot in this kind of a world. GorfZaplen posted:Megazone 23 would be perfect for you I'm not done with this yet but I can't decide if I want to complain about the length because of how long some parts go on or if I want to praise the length because of the time it puts into all kinds of details. Either way I'm having fun, thank you.
