So thanks to Covid, I started watching a bunch of animes and some of that stuff's fun. So far I've enjoyed - Attack On Titans - Sword Art Online - Full Metal Alchimist - 7 Deadly Sins - Code Geass - Death Note - Re:Zero Again, I'm pretty new to all this so do you guys have any recommendations? Not sure where to go from there. Is there even a common thread genre I should look for when trying to find one? Cheers!

Hard to recommend things without knowing what in particular you liked about them since that's a bit of a broad genre, but Cowboy Bebop, TTGL, and Dorohedoro fit with the rest to me.

I'm not sure really, I'd say interesting storytelling, politics, adventure, character development, intrigue/weird poo poo. I don't particularly care about fighting, although I don't mind it. I know many animes are centered around that and they don't draw me in particularly. Same for robots and stuff, don't mind them but not a particular draw if it's all about that. But I'm grateful you helped me put a name to it, "seinen". Googled it and a bunch of interesting stuff came up so looks like you may be right on the money. I'll look at your recos! Thanks a bunch.

I'm sorry I've been informed you mightve been asking for exclusively anime in which case watch Scryed, the dub specifically

Dorohedoro is very good and roughly in line with your list, especially if you're looking for weird poo poo

Gros Tarla posted:So thanks to Covid, I started watching a bunch of animes and some of that stuff's fun. So far I've enjoyed If manga is an option, try Delicious in Dungeon. A gorgeous fantasy world following adventurers in a massive underground dungeon who cook and eat the monsters they fight complete with real world style cooking recipes for fictional critters. It's an incredibly in depth, robust world surrounding the main crew, the action is fantastic, the comedy is on point, and the interpretations of fantasy creatures in a "realistic" manner(I love how mimics and living armor work in DinD) are wonderful. I really hope it gets an astronomical budget when an anime adaptation is eventually made, there was an animated short to advertise a new volume of the manga and it's super good but only makes the lack of an anime version that much more painful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlB-_rgSLBI&hd=1

Food Wars is one I watched recently and enjoyed. I'd describe it as My Hero Academia crossed with Iron Chef? Pretty light and fun.

I'm watching Inuyashiki The Last Hero and holy gently caress. This is a hell of a show so far goddamn. If you like Gantz, I would recommend this one. EDIT: Haha I just realized it's the same author.

Nipponophile posted:Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex should be right up your alley. What's the general opinion on Ghost in the Shell? I haven't seen any of it, but I noticed this morning that MUBI currently has the 1995 film on it. I looked around on my other streaming services and found that Stand Alone Complex and 2nd Gig are on Hulu while Stand Alone Complex 2045 is on Netflix. So, looking at Wikipedia, it looks like I currently have access to all of the franchise except the second-to-last show (Arise) and the four movies after the original. I don't know if it's all considered good or if some stuff is just a remake of other stuff or some things are considered non-canon trash or whatever, though; I'd love to get a bit of guidance on how to tackle this franchise. Thanks!

Movie 1 and 2: great Movie 1 remake: dont bother Gits sac 1: pretty good Gits sac 2nd gig: ok Gits sac 2nd gig movie: decent Arise: bad 2045: netflix full cgi lol Real drive: unknown but better then half the series the series are all different continuities. so watch in whatever order you want as long as you go through a sub franchise in order. so movie 1 > 2, or gits sac 1 > 2 > sac movie etc

2045 is SAC continuity and gets legit good past the USA arc.

Davincie posted:Movie 1 and 2: great This is super helpful, thank you. Just making sure I understand a few things: Movie 1 = Ghost in the Shell (1995) Movie 1 remake: Ghost in the Shell 2.0 (2008) Movie 2 = Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence GITS SAC 2nd Gig Movie = Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex - Solid State Society Is that right? It looks like I can rent both Innocence and Solid State Society off Amazon pretty cheap. Neddy Seagoon posted:2045 is SAC continuity and gets legit good past the USA arc. Is this the ordering of SAC continuity? SAC --> 2nd Gig --> Solid State Society --> 2045 Also, am I right to think that there are basically three continuities? 1995 + Innocence is one, SAC is another, and Arise + The New Movie is the third (and considered not worthwhile)? surf rock fucked around with this message at 15:26 on Mar 27, 2021 |

The first bit of 2045 is rough but it goes back to feeling like SAC when the episodes focus on Japan again. I'd probably wait until the second season comes out before watching it though because the way it ends definitely makes it feel like a 24 episode series where they only released the first half.

Usually the ones marked Stand Alone(meaning, obviously, self-contained and not part of the series-long storyline) are the better ones, but the overarching story isn't terrible. 2nd Gig has some problems but it's also generally a fantastic show and a worthy second season. The dubs for both seasons are top notch, as well. The original movie, well, it's pretty iconic, so definitely give that a watch too.

OK, I watched the original and Innocence. I thought the original was the stronger film; Innocence felt like a very self-conscious attempt to go deeper into the original's themes, but I didn't feel it worked that well. I still enjoyed it, overall.

Despite being in a different continuity, innocence hits better after seeing Gits sac or reading the original manga, since the first movie focuses so much on the major and you have no background on most of the other section characters. I really disliked it when it first came out and liked it a lot more after coming back to it a few years later.

I heard so much about Innocence being awful when it first came out but I watched it for the first time recently after seeing all the other GitS I could get my hands on and it didn't seem that bad at all. Watching all the other stuff first certainly helped temper my expectation, especially after seeing Arise. I didn't think Arise was completely terrible like a lot of people do, but it's definitely the weakest continuity in the series.
