What I'm looking for is anime with great team-up mechanics; none of this Naruto or Bleach one on one or lone savior bullshit. I need characters working in concert, understanding each other's abilities and just getting poo poo done together. Any recs?

I'm about to run out of Dr. Stone. Anything else out there with that co-operative, getting-poo poo-done atmosphere? Failing that, my favourites are Stone, Kobayashi's Dragon Maid and Jojo's, Part 4 (1, 2 & 3 are also great and I'm coming around to liking 5, I think?), Kill la Kill and Evangelion. I get that I just listed a bunch of reasonably entry level crowd favourites but go wild. Mould me into the weeb you want to see. Additionally a friend showed me one of the Gundam movies and I didn't realise that they had the more down-to-earth drama aspect, I sort of thought they were big robot fights all the time. What's the best Gundam entry for that aspect?

Incidentally the dub for it is fantastic  . You also also watch Nichijou, Pop Team Epic, and Kaguya-Sama.PastaBakeWizard posted:Additionally a friend showed me one of the Gundam movies and I didn't realise that they had the more down-to-earth drama aspect, I sort of thought they were big robot fights all the time.

Also if you want good sci-fi drama in general, Legend of Galactic Heroes: Die Neue These is remake of the original show and really good. It's still ongoing, with a long ways to go, but it's 24 episodes in so far.

Hello thread! It's that time again. I'm looking for a new show to pick up. Maybe you've got some recommendations for me. Shows I enjoyed: Puella Magi Madoka Magica (well, duh. Perfect blend of incredibly cruel twists, characters in a downward spiral, and the best use of time travel I've ever seen) FLCL One Punch man (1st season... hooooooo boy it looks FANTASTIC) Land of the Lustrous (utterly alien, great action, fantastically depressing) Blood Battle Blockade (fantastic absolutely-everything-exists-and-is-terrifying world, wonderfully dark humour) Kaiba (melancholic and terrifying while looking cartooney as heck) Ping-Pong (I absolutely do not care about sports shows, but this one is just stylish to no end, with some really satisfying character arcs) Michiko to Hatchin (great fun. I remember the episode with the hitmen on the highway especially well) Space Dandy (gorgeous show, lots of crazy scifi stuff. I love these absolute idiots) Birdy the Mighty (mostly due to the 2nd season. I'd heard people praise S2, so I powered through S1; I had no idea just HOW fantastic it is, the finale really stuck with me. Totally worth the bland S1, totally unexpected) Baccano! (admittedly, I feel like this show can basically not be watched twice, because I feel like it gains so much from that wonderful feel of a thousand puzzle pieces being thrown at you until it somehow makes sense... I think I just like shows that overwhelm you with multiple frantically changing plots presented in a stylish manner) Shows I really hated: Re-Zero (I'm a sucker for time travel of all sorts, but I kinda hated the MC with a passion... Also looked like very generic fantasy universe) Darling in the Franxxx (to be honest, I really liked the first half, but that's why the utter failure of the second half stings that much more - horrible character arcs, wasted potential everywhere, and an insultingly unearned lesson everyone spouts at the end) Steins;Gate (this specific brand of humour did not work on me. At all. Plus, most characters were just plain annoying) Violet Evergarden Attack on Titan (somehow, I thought this was way worse than as a manga. Felt extremely melodramatic) Durarara (watched this because of Baccano, didn't feel like it had the same charm. The highschoolers sucked) I do plan on watching all of Jojo eventually, and I'm really enjoying Eizouken which is ongoing right now... Sadly, the new Madoka show seems rather generic and disappointing, I might just drop that one. :/ Any ideas?

Since you have enjoyed Kaiba, Ping-Pong, and Eizouken, I see no reason why you wouldn't have a great time just hitting up everything else Masaaki Yuasa has directed. I suggest hitting up Tatami Galaxy & Mind Game in particular.

Bonus points if there's mystery/utter confusion at the start. Maybe try Girls' Last Tour? Its default mood is pretty lowkey, but it's set against an incredibly, inherently sad and scary backdrop and spends a lot of time playing with the tension between its fairly whimsical default mood and its bleak setting.

In terms of recent shows i'd definitely reccomend Beastars and Dorohedoro. Girl's Last Tour might be another solid pick. And if you liked One Punch Man I'd definitely reccomend Mob Psycho 100, by the same mangaka, though it takes a couple of episodes to pick up in my opinion.

Julias posted:In terms of recent shows i'd definitely reccomend Beastars and Dorohedoro. I've actually heard of Dorohedoro before! Posted right alongside everybody else when the last few manga chapters wrapped up. No idea how they could get that style to work in animation, but I'll check it out. And Beastars, too. I THINK I got started on From the New World some time back, but I think I bounced off of it pretty fast - I think I got to an early episode where a holographic slug kept throwing exposition at kids? That may just be the infamous bad episode people kept mentioning in this thread, maybe it gets better. I know absolutely nothing about Girl's Last Tour, so clearly that means I have to watch it now immediately.

I'm trying to get my recently retired mom into anime. She likes science fiction and fantasy (Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, etc.), among other things, and she strongly prefers dubs over subs. I of course gave her Cowboy Bebop to start with, but they don't have Hulu and I guess it's only available there right now. Anything jump out at you guys as an easy suggestion? I don't watch dubs so I really have no clue which are good (aside from Bebop). Among whatever other series I/you guys can come up with, I'll probably give her a sampling of good movies (like Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, Tokyo Godfathers, Your Name) since I think they typically have good dubs.

Maquia, Weathering With You are good fantasy stories IMO, and A Silent Voice is an incredible movie with a fantastic dub. As far as long-form TV stuff....maaaaaybe Big O?

I'd say try Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex with her. It's got one of the best dubs out there, and is generally an outstanding sci-fi cyberpunk procedural show. The second season is also pretty good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D522fRIFfhI&hd=1

Cool, thanks. I thought of GitS:SAC also but wasn't sure about the dub quality, glad it's good. Moribito is a good idea; I wanted to suggest 12 Kingdoms, but it's really not good at hooking most people, so I wasn't sure she'd stick with it. A Silent Voice is a good pick too, she'll cry her eyes out. Speaking of which, if I want to be really brutal, I could suggest Wolf Children and make her cry for 2 hours straight. edit: How's the Psycho-Pass dub? Probably also a decent pick. runawayturtles fucked around with this message at 18:19 on Mar 15, 2020 |

Wolf children is wonderful but do be prepared to comfort her afterwards, haven't seen my mom ugly cry like that in a long long time. She loved it but it really hit her hard.
