yeah, though dont bother with any of the ovas besides the Anzio Fight one those those are all random fanservice gags. there's a couple decent jokes in them but they mostly arent worth botering with. also be sure to watch the anzio ova if you like the tv series enough to want to watch the movie, since the characters from it show up in the movie. also the movie's fantastic so be sure to watch it if you enjoy the tv series.

I was mostly worried about Nazi glorification or something like that since they seem to all be using German based tanks, but so far it doesn't seem like that will be an issue. EDIT: On a personal note, I'm a former Optician so glasses are something that I'm very aware of. The girl with the half glasses is triggering the gently caress out of me because they are highly impractical and would never stay on your loving face.

Nah, there's not really anything like that. They make fun of the poor construction of some late-period German WW2 tanks which is more than, say, world of tanks does, and the german school are the only ones who don't all have fakey names referencing the country they're supposed to be, like how the British school all have names that are teablends. Closest it really gets to anything like that is the italian school calling their captain duce, but she's a comedy jobber so it's not exactly glorification, more just a random WW2 joke.

I've only watched the show so I can't speak to the OVAs or anything, but everything I've seen of Garupan has always been way too knowingly absurd and deliberately detached from anything resembling reality for me to ever get a sense that anyone was actually endorsing any of the source nations' policy, yeah. It's always just banging toys together in the sandbox, in a good way.

On a whim I watched Mamoru Hosoda's One Piece movie (Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island) and liked it, even if I'm not a One Piece fan. Or perhaps it's exactly because I'm not a fan that I liked it (not sure what actual fans think of it), because it's a self-contained story that didn't last 10+ episodes. I'm looking for more standalone anime movies based on big franchises (Conan, Lupin, Doraemon, Jump stuff, etc) that have good storytelling, visuals, or direction. Something anyone could watch as long as they have a cursory knowledge of the series. I know the Doraemon films are good, but which ones in particular stand out, etc?

The Haruhi movie doesn't require a TON of information about the series, and is a legit masterpiece, especially considering the TV series is just okay.

For Lupin you can't go wrong with Castle of Cagliostro. If you're interested in Pokemon there's a ton of movies, though they vary in quality and which ones different people enjoy vary, though I would reccomend Pokémon 3: The Movie - Spell of the Unown, Destiny Deoxys, and Lucario and the Mystery of Mew as the typical best picks, and Jirachi Wish Maker if you want a more slow paced, atypical pokemon film.

It's very much an outlier in the whole Lupin canon but it's a pretty well regarded one, I haven't heard of Lupin diehards having any real issues with it, unlike how some people are annoyed Cagliostro is as sweet and wholesome as it is.

Man, Lupin's tone has always been all over the place hasn't it? I remember hearing the... I wanna say manga that predates the anime being much, much darker and more explicit. The anime is horny but mostly cartoon slapstick stuff, and other media varies wildly between Castle of Cagliostro and the newer movies that are all much more violent and/or horny.

It's best to think of it very much like how, say, superhero comics have had different tones and interpretations of characters over the decades. Even the first anime diverged hard from the source material because Lupin was not a violent rapist in it.

But it is fantastic on its own and cements the Goto/Shinobu dynamic as one of the best pairs in anime. I missed the 2nd Urusei Yatsura one, though!

It's not bad, but some of the arcs really overstay their welcome. It's probably better marathoned than watching it week-to-week though, and I really need to go back to it. Also go watch the new Kino's Journey too because it's really good. A few stories are repeated from the original series, but they're solid episodes in their own right.

old kino was nakamura and his writing partner specifically picking stories from the novels to make a series with a consistent tone new kino is literally just taking a fan poll of favorite stories and the production committee going yeah yeah animate that. so you run the gamut from the sort of stuff you'd see in the old series to some frankly stupid poo poo. i suppose this is an accurate presentation of the novels and sigsawa's style (see: ggo alternative) but also it's just worse. and it doesn't even look different from your average modern anime. new boogiepop seems to have been polarizing but most of the complaints i saw were based on novel comparisons (the anime lacks the novels focus on character interiority) or people new to the site's just disliking the aesthetic and narrative choices it made. i haven't read or seen any of it before and enjoyed the new show quite a bit though the final arc was meh to me. it took a realistic approach to character design that freed them to do some more wild animation in the action bits, and opting to break the arcs into often anachronistic differing povs made watching it feel like putting together a little puzzle. good atmosphere too.

even as far as more accurate representations of sigsawa's style i still liked ggo a lot more and just thought new kino was really stupid without any real hooks to it. at least ggo is just a pretty decent action romp with fun characters

boogie pop was fine, its just that the first arc is really disjointed. Some of the arcs are really good though particularly the scarecrow one, really powerful stuff.

I wasn't really sure which thread to ask this in. At least 6+ years ago (probably more like 10+) I watched like 2 episodes of an anime that I'm trying to remember what it was. It was definitely not Gundam / tangential, but it had a lot of the same kinda thematic stuff. The major plot points I remember were that it was a group of teenagers in some kind of military school. They ended up being caught up in some kind of civil war or uprising and took command of a space ship. The spaceship combat was like this long protracted stuff, ie they had to all sit around and wait for hours and hours for orbits to intersect etc and then find out of missiles hit or end up in a very short lived gun battle etc. One particular battle was against an enemy ship that could teleport a gun platform / drone around but in doing so placed the ship itself at great risk. No clue if it sucked or not but the little bits I remember had a pretty neat feel to them, kinda like Das Boot or Run Silent Run Deep in some ways with building up a good bit of slow tension. It was all very much an aesthetic of Gundam type characters all thrown into combat out of nowhere and had a distinct "Submarines, but actually spaceships / naval battles". There were no aliens that I recall, or at least that wasn't part of the early plot. Anyone know what this might have been?
