I mean, you could just watch Healin' Good, Kira Kira, or the original. Those are all also decent magical girl shows that are enjoyable and have okay character development. Healin' Good is a bit janky in spots due to it coming out this year and its theme being viruses and doctors, you can really see the hasty rewrites in spots, and Kira Kira is a bit simple early on, but they're all good.

In the mood for some good action stuff again. I think I cleared out most of the popular recommendations from the last time I asked (HxH, DB Super, Hellsing Ultimate, etc..), so maybe something a bit more obscure this time? Also any genre is fine, including sports and horror/suspense. Just no mecha. Bonus if it has real good character growth outside the action or a really unique setting.

If you didn't already check it out, Yu Yu Hakusho for shonen action. Haikyuu would be a good actiony sports series with good character development too. Though I'd say both are pretty mainstream choices.

Revue has some similar ideas to Symphogear, although it has a very different default tone. If you liked Geah I'd say you'll probably like Revue too.

Megalo Box is great for it's characters and aesthetic, but I honestly didn't get much hype out of the fights. I think the reason it was so popular is because it hit that nostalgia button for a lot of people who enjoyed late '90s/early '00s anime, and the characters were fun.

The anime only adapts the first couple arcs (and I haven't had time to pick up from the manga) but I really like the relationship between the two leads, it feels way more like a friendship between actual teenagers than these shows usually manage.

There is an older Hellsing anime, it goes a completely different direction since the manga was not finished at the time, but it's still pretty good from what I remember. Cool soundtrack Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, if you haven't seen it already Does Ping Pong count as action? I don't care, watch Ping Pong

Yeah seconding this. It was a good show and remembering back to it now I still think pretty well of it. The manga was fairly solid but kinda goes into inside baseball on nuances from some of the characters and background organizations for the final major arcs so it got imo a little more complex than it needed to be to keep up a good story.

i watched that recently and was underwhelmed, maybe because i couldn't help but compare it to bofuri which was more fun and didn't get bogged down with contrived stakes. or maybe because i'm burnt out on the whole battle royale tactical shooter thing. it definitely seems to have had some luck coming out when that stuff was still on the upswing, timing-wise it seems like it would have already had to be in production when PUBG blew up despite practically being an anime about that game

ggo isn't like an incredible show but its weird characters and tone and frankness about characters being gay hooked me more than bofuri. they do different things the stakes are less contrived and more just there because pito is too much of a hardcore gamer

i also thought it was a more immediately interesting hook that every character in ggo is pretty much playing the character they want to be in the game to the point that their avatars are all designed to reflect their mirror opposite, that's not really much of a thing in bofuri

ggo has some boring bits in the middle but the final action scene is so insane that it alone justifies it from an action perspective

I'd like to put in a request for two flavors of recommendation. Or a combo! 1. Romantic comedies, especially older ones. If newer, I'd prefer it be say college or older characters if possible, or really stylized so that the High Schoolers seem to be 30 like 90210. Or the vibe of say GTO etc. Something about the style of 90s and early 2000s stuff and older makes me not mind a High School setting, though that's usually not my fav for newer stuff. Nostalgia being part of it probably. I love Maison Ikkoku, Ah My Goddess, etc. 2. 90s stuff that is fun in that "older shonen" feel, or seinen, or seinen adjacent. In other words, whatever GTO is. I'm really liking Slam Dunk which has this feel too. DNA2 is another one with that kind of tone a bit. That kind of rebellious teenage angst and crazy humor works for me. A bit of a vague idea for a recommendation, but I just could use more stuff in that vein. Or even anything somewhat like that in tone, could be in other genres or settings. 2.5: Any cool 90s TV gems. By cool for me I guess just not battle shonen, not shoujo, not mecha (just because I think I'm well versed in those areas), so whatever neato stuff that falls in the middle somewhere. I can dig a thriller, a comedy, or whatever, maybe action, but not a battle of the week type of thing at the moment. I've seen every space western. For example, I think Irresponsible Captain Tylor and Blue Seed are cool. That's a lot of words, so I'm looking for stuff in the spirit of 90s, cool rad fun stuff etc. And some romance in there.

I really enjoyed Nodame Cantabile, and the characters are (I think) college level when it starts. It might be a bit low on the romance bit but it's pretty funny at times, sweet and good.

Romeo and the Black Brothers) is a romance/coming-of-age story set in late 19th century Europe if you like Japanese interpretations of old German tales. 2. I'd say Golden Boy, but I'm going to venture a guess you've already seen it based on what you've already mentioned. 2.5 Serial Experiments Lain. Also, I will never not pump Tenkuu no Escaflowne.

Other than that I'd second Wotakoi, Honey and Clover, and Tatami Galaxy. 2. Initial D, City Hunter maybe? Also yeah Golden Boy if you haven't already seen it. 2.5: Key the Metal Idol, Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou, Otaku no Video.

Kyou Kara Ore Wa!! is perfect for this, it's about two teenage boys who decide to become delinquents after moving to a new town and become best frenemies For 2.5 check out Hakugei: Legend of the Moby Dick. It can be pretty uneven and is all over the place tonewise but it ended up being one of my favorite space anime ever by the end of it. I'll also say the Master of Mosquiton OVAs, which is about a vampire and his adventurer gf traveling all over the world trying to stop Grigori Rasputin from summoning the Elder Gods.

It's a lot of fun and it has a definitive ending. Cool, I see it said that there are two movies and OVA #8 set after the TV show. Movie 2 being from 96 and maybe not everybody's fav. Just wondering which part is the ending you like, since sometimes they continue on after an ending people liked etc. Heavy Metal fucked around with this message at 01:35 on Dec 3, 2020 |
