Captain Invictus posted:this is a manga rather than an anime, but would you like to read about a vigilante seeking to clean up the extremely corrupt government of japan (in other words, see a bunch of super evil politicians get murdered in increasingly hilariously creative ways)? then you should try Akumetsu This looks dope. I'll def check it out.

AnoHito posted:Hanasaku Iroha, which is basically better Sakura Quest. I watched this and it was great but I unno I sorta feel the same about most PA Works original shows now that I think about it in that there's just something really unfulfilling about it. I'm struggling to describe this feeling but its like... I unno. Maybe the shows don't all have a giant intersected nexus of failure, but I just think they are really good at setting up angsty poo poo and letting it kinda just dawdle out.

Very subjective request but anyone got recs for standalone shows that are maybe ~12 eps (or 6ish hours) that are nice and bingeable? Some shows I've seen that I'd say fall in to that camp: * Odd Taxi * Humanity has Declined * Paranoia Agent * Hanebado! * D-Frag * SSSS.Gridman It's not a big deal if it's a show that has sequel seasons, but I'm really in the mood for something with a definite stopping point for the season or series that I could watch in a weekend. The list above is pretty scattershot in terms of genre but they were all shows that I was either watching immediately as they came out weekly or got their hooks in me and would keep me watching for a couple hours at a time if I was watching them after they finished.

For an oddball pick, maybe Orgus II? It has some heavier references to the original in the last couple episodes, but the main characters are all new and the plot is mostly self-contained. Beyond that, for possible picks nobody seems to have mentioned yet... FLCL Mazinkaizer SKL Oh Maidens in your Savage Season Macross Plus Armored Hunter Mellowlink (only light ties to VOTOMS, should be fine) Vivy: Fluorite’s Eye Song One Punch Man season 1 Rascal does not dream of Bunnygirl Senpai Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online Hinamatsuri (Although the manga is better and goes much further). Hisone and Masotan Wave: Listen to Me

Looking for an anime in the vein of Pink Panther/Mr Bean/Austin Powers where the main character is a total doofus that constantly mucks things up but is supported by a fun cast of competent people. So tired of the OP MC that is being stuffed into every isekai and shonen. I want to see normal people making normal mistakes in extraordinary situations.

If it wasn't for the addition of supported by competent people then I would have suggested Konosuba. It is an isekai but the mc has pretty much no powers who gets results by cobbling together a party full of very powerful people on paper but in the end are just different types of disasters.

I recently saw a weird rear end indie game shmup where the pilot was fused together with their disturbing-looking organic ship and I really liked that concept so I'm looking for some sort of media that uses that. Any recommendations? Anime and Manga are both fine. I can't seem to find anything like that myself. The only things I managed to find are Gyver and that one very mainstream anime but it's a spoiler to say the title outright. It's Attack on Titan.

It's not an isekai, but watch Gamers to see five flavours of doofus experience complete misunderstandings about each of the four other doofuses. They're all nominally competent people, they all just operate on a lack of context or misunderstanding about some aspect of every other friend or relationship in the group, and it all turns into some amazing clusterfucks that can only be described as extraordinary.

Gundam iron blooded orphans and gundam thunderbolt both do the direct neural interface with your robot thing and in both it's played for horror, but it isn't really the same as what you're describing. Off the top of my head I'm having trouble thinking of anything that fits any better though

It's a 20-odd-minute shitpost to set up the actual show and cast. Tales of Woe posted:the first 6 episodes of Gamers is one of the best romcom arcs ever Hell, there are drama shows with conspiracies less complex than the dynamics achieved by episode 6. You need need a corkboard, some red string, and copious notes to be on top of every single plan in motion by then. And then tear it all off the board and burn it all to start over after BECAUSE of episode 6.

so I got this post in my sa-mart thread where I'm selling a whole bunch of manga:Subjunctive posted:Hey Captain-- I've not read all the series included in the various bundles I've acquired, but of those series listed there that I have, most don't fit the bill for a 12-year-old besides like, Flying Witch. Any other suggestions from the list that might work? Obviously not things like Vinland Saga, Attack on Titan, Battle Angel Alita, or Parasyte, but would like, Your Lie In April be good for them? Or Fairy Tail, maybe? I feel like I've heard Fairy Tail is pretty horny but I've never checked it out so I'd like to make sure before recommending anything to them.

Fairy Tail is horny but like… horny in a childish way that isn’t bad for a middle schooler to read A lot of these titles are suitable for kids. I’d recommend Witch Hat Atelier, Blue Period, Your Lie in April, Drifting Dragons, Heavens Design Team, and Cells At Work as all standout works that I’d be comfortable giving to a seventh grader thetoughestbean fucked around with this message at 00:21 on Aug 10, 2022 |

fairy tail gets pretty turnt up honestly but it depends on your standards, its clearly aimed at kids in japan but the standards for that between here and there are different. some of the content of, say, blue period, might also go over a kid's head, since its a pretty grounded series about art students. if theyre interested in art or more thoughtful than go for it but again, know your audience here and all. what's the kid interested in? what sort of stories do you think theyd be into?

Your Lie in April is pretty basic, but deals with a lot of heavy poo poo like abuse, trauma, and terminal illnesses. It made me cry multiple times.

Otherworldly Izakaya Nobu is about a modern-day Japanese restaurant who sets up shop in a medieval world. The most drama that happens is "oh no will the restaurant have to shut down", very chill and fun to read otherwise. Food illustrations are lovely too. Edit: oh I didn't see that we were picking off a list. I'll just keep my rec up as a generic one then. Ibblebibble fucked around with this message at 02:38 on Aug 10, 2022 |

Endorph posted:fairy tail gets pretty turnt up honestly but it depends on your standards, its clearly aimed at kids in japan but the standards for that between here and there are different. Hey hey! I’m OK with people flirting and being into each other—this is part of the reality of a 7th-grade girl for sure—as long as we’re not talking about explicit “more serious than kissing” activities being depicted. Trying to protect against both her getting weirded out and her father having a case for saying I’m giving sexual content to the kid. She has been reading some inoffensive kid-at-school and kid-taking-care-of-animals manga recently, but I think that heavier topics are ok. She’s quite empathetic but someone getting bullied isn’t going to break her. If stuff is mostly OK but maybe a bit of a stretch, then I’ll just keep it and give it to her when she seems ready. Just trying to avoid some of what I encountered randomly picking up manga at a used book store, with conspicuous sexual or other graphic violence. I don’t know if that’s helpful at all!

cells at work is great but both the original flavor and BLACK are pretty violent, though mostly comically? Either way if comically over the top murder of germs is an issue there's your warning. cells at work code black also has some pretty big baps and a strip-canabalism so you know, YMMV.
