Nichijou miiiiiiiiiiiiiiight be a little too slice-of-life-y for what you're asking for, but it still has some delightfully absurd slapstick.

i'm glad someone else already recommended dorohedoro because that confirms for me that i'm not the only one who thinks dorohedoro fits perfectly it is pretty violent though if that's an issue

I was extremely pleasantly surprised to see how well it adapted to anime.

Cromartie High School is a classic. Watch the dub.

You might like Shoujo Kageki Revue Starlight. It doesn't stay entirely light in tone, but it certainly is absurd. Also, watch Endorph posted:kyosougiga. edit: Oh, oh, watch ACCA 13!

Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions has shown up twice now under the "People also watched:" list for some of the shows you guys recommended. Is it any good?

chuunibyou is ok but mostly for the anime-original side characters, the main cast are just like, fine. s2 has some dumb bits but i don't think i'd be as upset about it these days as i was when i watched it

Srice posted:Season one is fine enough but I extremely regret watching the rest. So, I binged this back in March after first round of US lockdowns were happening. And I felt like season 2 was pretty weak, but I never really bothered to read any discussions about the show. Glad to get confirmation my anime quality scale is still more-or-less adjusted properly.

idk the main relationship stuff in s2 is pretty weak but mori summer and dekomori get some fun episodes and i was never that into the main relationship so i don't really regret watching at least the first half that much like i wouldn't give it a big rec but depending on what you liked about s1 i don't think it's the worst thing in the world, just a kinda mediocre s2 of a romcom with some fun side characters The Colonel fucked around with this message at 15:24 on Sep 16, 2020 |

I am looking for recommendations on anime’s on Hulu. Two broad categories. 1. “Serious”-ish stuff: Cowboy Bebop (less serious: Samurai Champloo) 2. Sillier stuff; My Hero Academia and Classroom Assassination. Anything that’s similar to the above four shows would be swell. I also like pretty animation and preferably dubs.

BE is like the best example of "loving wait till you have at least a pair of cours worth of material" to adapt. I didn't even know it was anime original at the time and it was dog turds. Did they readapt the beginning in that one new version?

Thanks for the recommendations. Julias posted:Yugioh GX I remember watching some of it when I was younger so it should be a fun nostalgia trip. Neddy Seagoon posted:Restaurant to Another World. I remember hearing good things about the show but never got around to watching it so I will give it a try. dogsicle posted:i very mindlessly watched blue exorcist dubbed on netflix during early quarantine wfh Watched it already and had a very similar opinion about it being fun until the anime only stuff hit.

Everything Burrito posted:same, basically. I watched up to the point where it diverted from the manga then just hopped over and read it for a while. I fell off of it because scans dried up for a bit or something and never got back to it, but I have been meaning to rewatch the good part of s1 then pick up s2 at some point because I remember it being pretty fun. Kyoto was my favorite arc in the manga, and I watched the anime as it aired and I'd say it's a solid adaptation.

AlternateNu posted:Is B: The Beginning any good? There was a pretty sweet AMV in the Akross Con contest this past year that used it. it's a pastiche of Sherlock-type police procedural and 00s action anime, with all the good/bad/dumb that entails. the animation is consistently great and it has some fun characters, so as long as your expectations are at that level it should be a good time.
