Cowman posted:I'm looking for suggestions for horror animes to watch. When the anime was released doesn't really matter. I really don't want any fan service or at least a minimum of it. Gore is perfectly fine and the specific type of horror doesn't matter either. Edit: I can also second recommendations for Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust (pretty rad), Devilman Crybaby (don't watch if you are in a bad place, it's extremely depressing) and Shiki (going through it now. Small village setting gives it Stephen King vibe). sad question fucked around with this message at 20:49 on Aug 15, 2023 |

Does Serial Experiments Lain count as horror? I feel like it's horror-adjacent at least. Ghost Hound is uneven but the first half of it is one of the better horror anime I can think of. The Kara no Kyoukai movies are I guess more like macabre dark fantasy but they're in the same ballpark as Madoka. Also Princess Mononoke is one of the most frightening movies I've seen, I think it's up there with Akira in terms of being so dark and harrowing that it kind of brute forces its way into the realm of horror.

Serial Experiments Lain isn’t horror but learning about the beliefs of its lead writer Chiaki J Konaka is

the beliefs of chiaki j konaka, which are unmentionable (wrote a dumb scene in a 2007 horror anime where a guy denies climate change and wrote a digimon tamers play with some dumb attempts at topical jokes about american internet culture filtered through a japanese internet context that changes the meaning of a lot of the buzz words he was using that he admitted was bad and he regretted writing)

i don't care to launder his reputation or something it's just stupid to vaguely wave at the idea of bad things about a guy and, most of what you can say about konaka isn't really a surprise given what he writes. like drat, the guy who wrote shows all about conspiracy theories is a weird conspiracy theorist? the most relevant this is to how it actually pops up in any of the things people might talk about is ghost dog and it's been years since i've ever seen anyone recommend watching ghost dog so whatever dumb views he's expressed online i don't think there's much sense to bringing it up when you're just recommending lain or something. and if you're gonna bring it up you should just say what the dirt on him is from the start

hayao miyazaki wants to gently caress little girls but nobody feels the need to qualify that when they talk about spirited away so its weird every time lain or whatever comes up a bad stage show that konaka said was dumb is tossed out like holy water like on the list of things popular anime creators have said or done konaka's crimes are in the 'who gives a poo poo' category. who out there is going 'im unsure if i should get the covid vaccine... i know who'll be the difference maker, the opinion of the guy who wrote malice@doll'

honestly it's funnier with miyazaki cause like. a lot of his oddities are very visible throughout his work. to the point that other old anime guys joke about it openly in interviews whenever his work comes up, and some defining artistic choices in shows he worked on are attributed to staff members adapting stuff to the stricter ideas miyazaki formed about how he wanted to depict women. konaka's a bit dumb but so much of how he actually writes about stuff in his most popular shows is kinda floaty and detached in a way where you don't really run into that kind of thing so hard, i think the funniest instance is mostly just how he seems to kin the insane sunglasses government fbi conspiracy man in digimon tamers but also that guy's whole arc rules for how nuts it is

did miyazaki actually say those things or is it just kinda a taking potshots at the grumpy old man for being really into bai-niang when he was in high school? its honestly the first i've ever heard of him wanting to gently caress any one.

so asking here because i assume the bleach thread is full of spoilers i've been strongarmed into reading the bleach manga and i'm just after the soul society arc. i've heard this is its peak and its problems have been very apparent but also these fights own really hard so i'm enjoying it. is the anime worth watching? the person making me read it seems to think highly of the anime's filler. would it be better to just watch the fight scenes on youtube, or is the anime as a whole worth it?

Personally, I couldn't get through the Bleach anime, even though I forced myself to finish the manga. I came pretty close, having watched around 300 episodes, but couldn't take any more. This coming from someone who watched every episode of Naruto. The manga goes pretty far downhill too, with a rushed ending after it was, if I recall, effectively canceled.

No, the reason the ending is rushed is because Tite Kubo was literally dying, so he rushed the ending himself. Hopefully the new anime adaptation fixes the ending a bit-they've already expanded on parts that weren't shown in the manga and have alludes to stuff from the light novels that came afterwards as well.

So I really enjoyed watching Pretty Boy Detective Club, and I think one thing I liked about it is that it is a mystery show that doesn't have someone getting murdered every episode. Does anyone have any recommendations for manga/anime that is a detective/mystery series that doesn't have constant murders (and isn't a total downer)? I enjoy Deranged Detective, but it gets a bit much with people constantly getting murdered or being murderers. Or anything else similar to PBDC.

Incredibly basic rec for the criteria, but Hyouka is the prime low-stakes mystery show if you haven't seen it already. Haruchika and Mushishi are also good. If season-long cases/conspiracies rather than smaller individual mysteries are fine, then you've also got options like ACCA 13, Fugo Keiji, and Double Decker.

I think it takes a bit to really get going, but The Case Files of Jeweler Richard has a similar episodic low stakes mystery with a focus on exploring the interpersonal relationships of both the clients of the week and the main characters. The family politics it goes through can get a bit messy but it ends up being a pretty touching found family narrative.

Hello, sadly I’m almost finished with Space Dandy. This series has been incredible (as have the other Watanabe series I finally watched for the first time this year). Are there any good resources for behind the scenes information on the making of these series? Every episode feels so fresh and full of ideas, I’d love to know more about the process.

space dandy brought in a bunch of notable directors to guest direct episodes is how they got that much variety. same with writers. it's an anthology series basically. i dunno if theres any good behind the scenes stuff, most of the detailed english language sources of that e.g. sakugablog didn't exist yet when it came out.
