What was that show a year or two ago that had a bunch of flamboyant fairy men do magical prince transformations and then fight to defeat evil monsters like a lady who harasses people on Twitter?

the magical revolution of the reincarnated princess is like 70% people talking in rooms but its pretty funny in spots and the last 3 or so eps are insane (in a good way) so i recommend it


bloom into you is a cute lesbian romance anime, sadly the anime only adapts like 75% of it and there will probably never be a s2, but the resolution thats there is nice at least

Has anyone got any good suggestions for a sci-fi manga? Something in space, like a cowboy bebop type of set up rather than mechas.

All the stuff I am finding these days is real world or fantasy. Just in the mood for someone getting up to some han solo style shanigans

Planetes already came up, but if you're willing to go old school, 2001 nights might be fun. It's an anthology series (the author did a bunch of others), that plays with all kinds of space travel stories.

Similarly, if you don't mind planetbound, Dominion Tank Police and Venus Wars might be fun for you. Tanks instead of mechs, and Venus Wars takes place on, well, Venus, but they're good times with a light sense of humor much of the time. (Then again, if they work, then Ghost in the Shell 1 and 1.5 might be the obvious recs).

Keeping to space, though, it's less common. There's Astra Lost in Space recently, which got an anime adaptation, by the writer of Sket Dance and Witch Watch. BLAME is a classic story of a grim and laconic badass cyborg wandering the solar system (rebuilt into a single huge multi-level city) to find someone who can stop the rogue builder AIs throwing the City into chaos.

That any help?

ninja edit: I did not see the word Manga, apologies.

Have you seen Space Battleship Yamato 2199? It's a 2012 remake of the old '70s series. Very much not hard sci-fi, quite campy in fact, but it's a fun watch and pretty well-made.

Looking for something to follow up Utena.

I was thinking of revisiting Zetsubuo Sensei because Utena’s stylish cinematography/composition reminded me of Shaft (and suicide’s been on my mind). Never saw the third series.

Ikuhara's other anime would be a natural followup. I recommend Penguindrum in particular.

I had never watched a Gundam before, but a bunch of people mentioning it was extremely Utena made me watch. Very much worth giving this witch a chance.

Penguindrum and Princess Tutu are also great recommendations.

honestly g-witch takes some of the surface level plot beats from utena but stylistically and thematically it has basically nothing in common, i definitely wouldnt watch it expecting anything like utena's style

revue starlight's tv series was kinda eh to me but it had some neat shots, but the movie's extremely, extremely good and worth watching the tv series for, and its by one of ikuhara's proteges so it does have a lot of that style (while managing to get its own visual identity in the movie)

and yeah penguindrum is really good too and is, yknow, by ikuhara

So I had not thought about Hellsing since the manga ended but just found myself humming one of the tracks from the first anime. I started to wonder if Hellsing Ultimate ever finished up, and found it that happened more than a decade ago.

Did Ultimate end up being good and cool or did the budget dry up? Should I just rewatch the first anime? Both? Or just jam to this soundtrack?

In my opinion the quality of the OVAs declined after episode 8. There was a long delay between the episodes and the studio making it switched. It wasn't really an issue with animation quality though. It just didn't really quite match the style of the previous episodes. To be fair, it might have been a problem with the source material and not the studio. Probably still worth watching.

For the most part Ultimate is better, the only real exception is the genuinely fantastic OST from the first series. So I guess I'd say just listen to the ost for the first series and binge the second one.

I honestly like their take on Luke Valentine better than the actual dub dialogue-wise. Just takes him right over the top in his psycho killing spree.

I enjoyed Ultimate when only the first three or four episodes had released. But when I saw the rest a decade later, I didn’t like them very much. I can’t quite say whether it was a change in taste, or a drop in quality, but probably a bit of both.
