If you like Urasawa and berserk try some Yukimura manga like Planetes and Vinland Saga. Also definitely read some Taiyo Matsumoto, he is probably one of the best around. Start with black and white/tekkon kinkreet ( I think nearly everyone probably starts there) then move onto his sports manga like hanaotoko and ping pong. Then everything else after that I guess.

If you can handle the Mahjong in Akagi try Ten, also by Fukumoto. If not, then Gambling Emperor Legend Zero has some real interesting and weird gambles.

Wark Say posted:I have a somewhat easy to understand request, which is kinda what I was posting on another thread. I want to read/watch something where the protagonist is (whether implicitly or out in the open) told how much he sucks, or how he himself realizes that he sucks/he's an horrible person... and then he decides to grow up. "No loving excuses, boyardee, you suck rear end; you need to be whipped into some drat shape". Try reading Saikyou Densetsu Kurosawa. Here is my lovely endorsement of it from my FKMT thread quote:The Legend of the Strongest Man Kurosawa

Lallander posted:I am on a swashbuckling kick lately and have exhausted my supply of western movies and TV shows. Robin Hood, The Three Musketeers, The Man in the Iron Mask, The Court Jester, The Princess Bride. I've watched everything even remotely like that that I can track down. Is there anything comparable in anime? Interesting sword fighting, bravado, adventure on the high seas? As someone said, the anime you are looking for is Dezaki's Treasure Island. It was made on a shoe string budget but it's still one of his best works, which is saying something considering what he has been involved with.

Garrand posted:So I watched Ping Pong as it was being released. It was my first anime in a long time and now I've decided to see if I can find some more I like, though what I'm looking for might be a little specific. if you'd be down to read some manga instead just check out anything by the author of Ping Pong, Taiyo Matsumoto. Check out his stuff like Tekkon Kinkreet and GoGo Monster, both of which have english releases. Or if you are looking for a quick fix and just want to download something read Hanaotoko.

RabidWeasel posted:I also enjoyed it an absurdly huge amount though I didn't like the (ending spoilers) "where they are now" epilogue which was kind of dumb but it seems like I frequently dislike the endings of shows I love so that doesn't really say much. I can't even say why I thought it was so good other than the fact that it didn't have any stupid melodrama and the characters were all terribly flawed people but overcame their issues in various ways. The manga handled the ending better, or at least I thought so. Yuasa was too nice to the characters throughout the anime and the epilogue was definitely one of those moments. Felt doing so kind of missed the point I thought the manga made about facing and accepting the reality of one's potential and limits. Or at least that's what I thought.

Zerilan posted:Probably looking more for manga than anime here so I have stuff I can read on the bus, but looking for some character study style drama. Can be romance/mystery/etc, with or without supernatural elements are ok, just stuff that really focus more on the characters than events and do a good job of making the audience care about the characters. I guess for examples of what I'm looking for: recently watched/read Only Yesterday and Goodnight, Punpun; which both fit what I'm looking for while being otherwise really different. earnestly suggesting Ashita no Joe. It is legitimately one of the best characters studies in manga. If not the best. There is a reason why Joe, as a character, resonated with an entire generation of Japanese manga readers and still, nearly 50 years later, is one of the most iconic anime characters beaten only by the likes of Astroboy, Doraemon, ect.
