Endorph posted:fate/zero and fate/stay night unlimited blade works. the premise is summoning mythological figures that have powers based on their myths. for instnace lancelot once used a branch to fight off enemies, therefore hes capable of using any weapon, therefore hes capable of using a gatling gun. I'm stealing this power explanation for F/Z.

Thoren posted:What are some manga/anime with Stupid loving Abilities like Bleach, Hunter x Hunter, etc.? Baki and Kengan Ashura kinda sorta. Not crazy things like creating a mini sun to throw at your opponent or anything, more in the vein of "what if we took the most extreme examples of the human body and went into the absurd and then made those people fight".

Thoren posted:What are some manga/anime with Stupid loving Abilities like Bleach, Hunter x Hunter, etc.? I want to say Chainsaw Man, because it's amazing and it has some pretty great crazy powers, but mostly it tends to have ones with pretty quick, easy to understand explanations. Like, if a dude is powered by the zombie devil, he makes zombies, the blood devil can control blood, that kind of thing. The manga seldom goes with the long winded explanations even for the crazier tactics.

Baki has the benefit of being both more grounded than most anime because while characters are clearly superhuman they are still in the realm of magical realism and no one's flying or shooting lasers at each other. However we do have a protagonist who is so good at visualizing his opponent that he can make an imaginary friend who is real enough to kick his own rear end.

Law of Ueki and Saike Mata Shite mo (same creator) both trade in this a bit. stuff like "can turn towels into metal while holding breath," or "can change an object between having the properties of styrofoam/its original properties." i've read much more of Saike, but it doesn't and may not ever be complete in English while Ueki is (and has an anime for good measure, idk how that is).

This popped up in the Irrationally Irritating Movie Moments thread over in PYF, and it sounds like an interesting movie, and I was directed over this way to figure out what it is. Cowslips Warren posted:I cannot remember the name of the drat movie now, it was some anime about vampires. But in this city, they lived with the humans instead of in hiding, and no one preyed on anyone (you could buy blood if you wanted from humans but that was seen as weird), because the monsters outside the city were the vampires' usual meals. So humans and vamps teamed up to beat demons, easy enough. Anyway, my IIMM was that the head council of vampires were asked by some humans to raise/turn their teenagers into vampires. The kids had been killed, sneaking out of the city for the tenth time (and this time they were actually under house arrest, because the group had been found poisoning someone in the hospital), and the council decided to do it, because it would give the kids another chance at life.

This sounds kinda sorta like a half-remembered Seraph of the End? Dunno, only one where 'vampire city teens' keywords made sense to me (also not a movie)

Looking for a show where the decisions made by the main cast carry some weight and have clear consequences, good and bad. Not picky about genre.

Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans has the main cast make choices without fully understanding the situation, causing massive consequences, good and bad, for the entire solar system. That sound like what you're looking for?

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, perhaps? the "main cast" is either two characters or like 50 depending on how you weigh their importance, but there's a lot of shakeups throughout, and there's also quite a bit of people explicitly facing the consequences of their actions both past and present. Yona of the Dawn might work too, it starts out with a sheltered princess who gets torn from her gilded cage and thrown into reality, and how she adapts.

That sound like what you're looking for? Actually yes, that is pretty much spot on. Is it a decent mix of action and politics? I fine if it tilts a little heavier in either direction but preferably not too heavy in the politics side. Captain Invictus posted:extremely relevant to your request: Neon Genesis Evangelion. I'm sure you've already seen it, but it absolutely fits the bill in both directions. At this point its safe to assume Ive watched most of the super popular intro anime like FMA. Ive really only avoided Gundam and magical girl shows somehow. I will take a look at Yona though.

I fine if it tilts a little heavier in either direction but preferably not too heavy in the politics side. On average, there's a big mech fight scene every two episodes, with occasional on-foot combat in between. There's politics, but it's usually advanced by people in giant robots brutally murdering each other.

s1 is action biased and s2 is politics biased maybe for the worse in the case of the latter. but the show is liked enough overall that i'd just say try it for yourself

dogsicle posted:s1 is action biased and s2 is politics biased I mean, season 2 has more action than season 1, including a whole episode that's basically just a three way fight between a pirate fleet, the protagonists, and the Earth's military. It's just the politics come home to roost for the protagonists in season 2 after they spent season 1 being able to mostly brute force through on the fact no-one expected them.

i wouldn't say it's strictly a quantity thing, s2 obviously puts the greater focus on politicking and despite having more action i just don't think it holds up to the same level of quality as s1.

A big portion of emotional impact of the show is how the MC is forced to make decisions that destroy the dreams of his friends in order to set things right.

You've probably already seen it, but in case you haven't: Madoka Magica fits your request to a T. And, uh, I guess to balance it out with something slightly less ubiquitous, you ever seen Grave of the Fireflies?

Looking for something colorful and batshit insane to fill the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure-shaped hole in my life. Open to all genres as long as it's ridiculous, fun to watch, and there's minimal tiddy/panty shot fan service.

Is xxxHOLiC worth watching? The premise seems kind of similar to Natsume's Book of Friends but the character design and the name give off a bad horny vibe.
