I've watched Haikyuu and Ping-Pong. They're great. Thanks for all the recommendations. I'll start with Giant Killing and I guess Slam Dunk (should I read or watch it?). I can't recall why I never read it but I think it was because maybe it was less about the team and more about an individual or something? Not really a big fan of MMA and I'll hold off on more football stuff till after Giant Killing. For some reason I thought Hanebado is some fanservice-y joke anime. On the non-sport front, I've watched Eizouken (well, most of it). It was nice but didn't grab me. I'll try "Let's Make a Mug, Too" since I can watch it with a friend of mine who likes pottery. I'll also try reading "Umi ga Hashiru End Roll".

The Hanebado manga starts off as a more comedic manga with mild amounts of fanservice before transitioning into a gritty sports drama but the anime just skips all that and goes all in on sports melodrama from like episode 2.

I mean that’s a pretty fair comparison to arrive at. I think I liked Harukano Recieve more than Hanebado. The melodrama was a lot more grounded. Friggin great op tho. As for realistic sports anime that aren’t all the amazing ones, the ones from last year were pretty decent. Okay no they weren’t. Also Re-main is absurd. But like… if you can ignore the main concept it’s fairly realistic! Bakuten was very Run Like The Windish college dorm house fun but the actual sports part kinda sucks. Like not in the ‘I don’t like gymnastics routines’ way, the animation was just bad and boring. Kabaddi does a decent job showing off the sport but it’s very shoneny. Sayanora Watashi no Cramer was garbage I don’t know why I’m mentioning it! Does Cestvs count as a sports anime? I mean I guess it’s Roman boxing lol. I liked it but it was really not… I unno it’s a complete train wreck. Sk8 the infinity is the least appropriate but best show recently. Wait no Uma Musume is. Basically I friggin need more Haikyuu.

What about Ashita No Joe? No-one seems to have mentioned it, and it's one of the greatest manga written, adapted into some legendary anime. I know it's likely everyone involved has seen it already, but it's worth a look. (I'd also suggest Look Back and Goodbye Eri for two good one-shots about the creative impulse and the effort involved in making art, but they're both popular enough to have already been seen and not exactly what's asked for besides.)

The manga ran 29 volumes from 1989-1993, and the anime ran 124 episodes from 1989-1992. There was also a live action movie in 1989 and two anime films in 1992 and 1996.

Y'all, I need some space shows. Zeta Gundam was my jam, Planetes was ok but I ended up only watching a few episodes, and I really don't know any other space anime. More Gundam would be cool but it doesn't have to be big robots in space hitting each other. Anything would be welcome.

Would recommend IBO as there is plenty of big robots doing horrible things to one another. There is also Witch of Mercury which is the new Gundam show and is currently airing right now.

I also second the recs for Gunbuster, Diebuster, and IBO for mech stuff with a lot of space fights.

gundam thunderbolt and unicorn have excellent space animation, though unicorn may be a bit too steeped in franchise lore to just jump into. or maybe it's fine! i've never thought it's fine if you aren't already familiar with UC but plenty of other people do. though if you've seen zeta you're probably good (watch char's coutnerattack if you haven't already)

If I remember correctly the thread title refers to a time a few years back when a few posters made a running gag of recommending LOGH regardless of what the was actually asked for. After that got run into the ground, it became rather gauche to recommend unless someone specifically asked for a long-running space opera series?

It's respected, but the thread title is a threat to strangle anyone who recommends LOGH because it's been done so often. Beyond that, there's Space Patrol Luluco if you're in a hurry. Pure Trigger crazy with an incredibly short runtime. 12 eight-ish minute episodes, including crossovers, young love, insane violence, and CHIEF OVER-JUSTICE, the skeleton who loves JUSTICE more than anyone else in the universe. There's also Royal Space Force: Wings of Honneamis for a movie about an alternate universe space program, although it get pretty heavy in ways that sometimes need a warning, Voices from a Distant Star if you want to see what Shinkai did before Your Name (it's pretty much a solo piece), and Freedom if you want something set on the Moon with frequent cup noodle product placement.

Magnetic Rose is a good psychological horror ghost story. Plus it's only like 30 minutes long. There's also Pet Shop of Horrors which is kind of an anthology piece with individual horror stories. Arc Hammer fucked around with this message at 17:14 on Oct 15, 2022 |

pandy fackler posted:any recommendations for horror genre without sexualized violence? i havent watched much anime besides the staples like cowboy bebop and akira It'd depend on what particular slice of horror you're looking for, but two good ones on polar opposite ends of the spectrum would be Monster and Dorohedoro. Monster has no supernatural elements (that I recall, it's been a while since I read it) but really nails that psychological horror - thriller vibe, with an extremely tense atmosphere and a rich cast of complex characters. Dorohedoro, on the other hand, is a body horror action splatfest with competing gangs of murderous psychopaths trying to kill each other with blood magic and knives and demon pacts. Despite that, though, it overall has a very "chill" vibe, and most of the time is spent with the characters hanging out in their weird magic hellworld, being goofballs and having fun. This can make you forget about the horror element since the cast tends to be pretty nonchalant about the gore and demons, but when the major plot beats hit it can get pretty  Both stories are probably best experienced in manga form, but the animes are pretty good too. Dorohedoro's anime only has a season out, though, and it's also 3d, which might put some people off. Seconding Magnetic Rose, too. It rules.

thank you for the recommendations. i have a preference for supernatural elements but enjoy psychological thriller type stuff if the plot is really original. only horror I'm meh on are straight slasher films with no ghosts (so like yes to nightmare on elm street, no to saw). I'll give magnetic rose a try first since you both recommended it, thanks!

Dorohedoro is phenomenal but is it really horror? It's one of the goriest series ever but it's also practically looney tunes with said gore. I guess it tries to be unnerving at times but almost invariably turns its unsettling characters into the next silly rear end in a top hat to join the recurring cast Edit: I suppose it counts as horror action/comedy.

Dorohedoro is every genre (including cooking show), though I think the anime cut out the sequence that would be the most out and out horror Later in the manga definitely counts as at least mild horror

Seconding Mononoke. Be sure to watch the last three episodes of Ayakashi - Samurai Horror Tales first, since that is where the story starts from and there are references to that arc later in the series. You do not need to watch the rest of Samurai Horror Tales. Also, Shiki is a really good horror anime. Yea, its characters' hairstyles are out there but it has some of the most effective spooks in anime. You could also go for Serial Experiments Lain, which does trend towards psychological thriller, but its commanding use of atmosphere is top tier and there are some absolutely spooky supernatural elements going on. Finally, Promised Neverland (Season 1) is pretty good. Whatever you do, do not watch the second season. There is no second season! There is a second season, and you can read all about it in 2021's Worst of the Year thread. Malsangoroth fucked around with this message at 20:21 on Oct 17, 2022 |

Parasyte is indeed excellent. I wouldn't personally think of it as horror except there is a massive dump truck full of body horror in that show, but body horror I don't really mind at all. If that's a division that matters at all to you it's worth mentioning.

I liked S1 of Psycho-Pass and have heard mixed things beyond that / the movies and haven't watched anything else past S1. It was quality enough and not overly long that I think its worth checking out.
