So as you know I come here for help now and then but I was wondering if anyone would make a seinen anime series thread or point me to one. Stuff like ACCA 13 and gankutsuouo or w/e. Doesn't strictly need to be seinen could be I think josei? easy source the way the manga thread is? I am asking for someone else to do it through a combination of really not knowing enough series and laziness

the seinen thread isn't that dead. josei is just folded in the romance thread though.

You can also just make a dedicated thread if you feel like it.

The Shounen and Seinen threads have always been popular. although they are more focused on manga because usually an anime will get its own thread, or just be discussed in the season thread.

I'm looking for anime (and/or manga, which I mentioned because I can't find a manga recommendation thread) where the main character is very good/skilled. It can be in general or at a specific thing. An embodiment of TV Tropes' "The Ace": https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheAce. Ideally the character won't have other flaws such as major personality flaws or emotional/mental problems that the plot uses to offset their skill. I'd like pure unrealistic excellence. Instead of asking for a specific genre I'll say that any genre is fine as long as you think the anime (and/or manga) is extremely good/high quality. The only example I can think of, which might not fit the "extremely good" criteria, is Food Wars, where the main character is very good at cooking.

It's not "good" but I'm pretty sure Golgo 13 treats the protagonist as an unbeatable Superman.

One Punch Man seems like the obvious choice, in as much as the anime and manga play with and have fun with the concept, Saitama being an unstoppable superman is still a p big core power fantasy of at least the early arcs Dr Stone is basically this. every character is supremely good at at least one thing, often several things.

Not a perfect fit, despite Saitama being the best at punching by far. Even at the beginning, it's clear that Saitama's power isn't much fun for him. Maybe Lupin? He's a superhero, after all. The hero of today.

He's also one of like 3 people in existence who understands what it really means to be a hero and that comes up far more often than him being significantly impeded by any of his personality flaws. which are typically used as jokes rather than being real shortcomings for him, his own sense of ennui not withstanding.

you might check out currently-airing sci-fi donghua The Defective, pretty much all the leads are incredibly skilled and OP in their various fields but especially Lin Jingheng. There's just one episode left for the season also so it's a good time to binge it.

I was about to say that most Isekai probably fit the bill, especially anything with some variation of "slow life" in the title, but yea, the Eminence in Shadow one is a good fit. He's trying to be the all-controlling fate-steering "shadow behind the throne" figure and the world and all its inhabitants go to great lengths to interpret everything in his favor.

I'm trying to track down a version of the Space Battleship Yamato theme and my youtube searching is failing me. It's an orchestral arrangement that came out around the time 2199 remake aired. The only way I can really describe it to help narrow it down is that it starts with a full chorus singing the main title right before a drop into the main melody.

can it be the tv version of the op? https://soundcloud.com/user-484450349/32-space-battleship-yamato the remake had several different versions of the op, the most well known one is probably the one sung by the legendary Isao Sasaki, however for the japanese tv airing they had another op done by a large amount of anime celebs and anime bands, the one in the link. if its not that one, the soundtrack album has 4 versions of the op on it. Alternatively, and very unlikely, Geinoh Yamashirogumi has another version of the op

Thanks all for the recommendations about shounen where the the protagonist doesn't overshadow the other characters as the series progress. World trigger looks like something i would enjoy, is the anime a good adaptation or should i try the manga?

Kefahuchi_son!!! posted:Thanks all for the recommendations about shounen where the the protagonist doesn't overshadow the other characters as the series progress. i've not seen s1 of the anime but the general recommendation is to avoid it. Toei did it as a 70-odd episode run, so the already middling quality would only fluctuate more in a long production like that where they're also shifting staff around to different series. i'd assume WT didn't get too much love as a smaller fish alongside their bigger franchises like Precure etc, but this is mostly based on my experience with their similar and disappointing Toriko adaptation. s2 and s3 are a big improvement, with production being done closer to other modern shonen in 12-episode chunks that leave a season of "break" between airing them. quality is still variable but they focus on putting their best into the fight scenes while the downtime/talking stuff don't need to be at such a high level. s3 is only just getting into things so this could change, but overall i thought s2 did very well adapting things. i default to just recommending the manga since you can get a continuous experience that way, and then go back to enjoy seeing it as anime. if you do opt for a mix, reading the manga up to ch120 would put you right where s2 starts.

World trigger also just has a very slow opening, and even if the anime was faster paced it'd still drag a lot at the beginning. It only really starts getting good at ch25, and is unlikely to really hook a reader until the big arc starting on ch44. For that reason I'd recommend starting with the manga, and either sticking with it or switching to the anime when s2 starts.

Major villains still challenge Kenshiro, but very often he just seems to be toying with his enemies. The 80s anime is cheaply done, but has an iconic style to it; you may end up preferring it to the manga anyway. Any animation of Lupin the 3rd comes pretty close to this, though it varies from episode to episode. I'd also second the recommendation of Golgo 13.

Does Slime count? I know 'overpowered isekai' isn't the same kind of genre as the other ones on here, but some of the abilities that get made out of thin air are truly ridiculous.
