The Black Stones posted:WHOAH THERE. Guilty Crown aired on NoitaminA, let's not say anything we can't take back now. Hey, the first two episodes of Fractale weren't as bad as the first two episodes of C or Guilty Crown!

Digimon Tamers sounds incredibly intriguing - does it stand alone or do I have to watch two seasons of boring-sounding stuff?ViggyNash posted:Ah, so the time travel is simply an event to drive the discussion going on. I think so. Nothing confusing, just humour, depression, great animation, and one of the best endings I've ever seen. Saturday Mornings posted:1) This might be vague, but I would like to watch/read anything about characters having an adventure/traveling. It could be a grand quest, aimless wandering, just showing up when needed, or just having a "home base" of sorts and being deployed to new places. If there's action, awesome, but I don't mind a chill anime either: Mushi-Shi and Kino's Journey are some of my favorite shows ever. A bit obvious, but what about Mononoke? (Not the Ghibli film.) It's a lot like Mushishi, with a bit more action.

Chas McGill posted:Guys, why didn't I like the two episodes of Baccano that I watched? I should love everything about it, really, but I don't. The opening theme creeps into my head and I find myself humming it while washing dishes or brushing the cat. Most of the characters are adults. It isn't set exclusively in a highschool. It's like the antithesis of all that I moan about in anime. Yet I don't love it. Maybe I was in the wrong mood when I tried it before. I wish my cat let me brush him. Anyway, sometimes I'm just not in the right mood for a series and drop it after an episode or two. Then I'll come back to it and love it. And sometimes, I just don't like something for no real reason. It's not a big deal.

I was just going to ask about Utena. I've just seen the film and it's obviously got a lot of gaps in. Is it a recap film? And should I watch the series or read the manga the film's based on?

I remember Hanasaku Iroha being a series with guests kidnapping the staff, a heron wandering around attacking people, and pretend soldiers fighting over the inn. Not my idea of bland. Did it all go wrong after I dropped it? Does anyone know a realistic series about pregnancy? I was reading Spotted Flowers, which isn't quite what I was looking for - an otaku sex comedy instead of a drama - but I got a geeky pleasure from seeing it mention 4D scans.

That is a pretty difficult question, because manga's not a genre, it's a medium (obviously) - so it's your call as to whether that means heroes in manga full stop, or superheroes in manga. What's more interesting to him?tonberrytoby posted:Your list is very specific for Anime in America. But that might be what you are intending. And here's the top 20 superheroes: http://www.japan-talk.com/jt/new/20-greatest-Japanese-superheroes - most seem to be live-action Ultraman types, but Sailor Moon, Astroboy, and Son Goku are there. So is Spiderman.

Doesn't really matter, you can always recommend Chihayafuru.ViggyNash posted:Like I said, episode 2 was great. I know what you mean about dated, the animation isn't very good, but lack of charm? The music is fantastic, too, and quite often carries the gags. Edit for an actual recommendation: Anyone have an opinion on Ghost Hunt?

DamnGlitch posted:There are some good cg moment in Rebuild, but 2.22 is particularly egregious when it comes to several really REALLY bad shots. Particularly some of the crowd shots in Tokyo 3 look more like faceless cg zombies than the faceless cg zombies in highschool of the dead. They are shambling, oddly gaited, and awful awful awful looking. That's an awfully nice way of putting it! And to rerail: has anyone seen Ghost Hunt? How is it?

Paracelsus posted:I saw it a long time ago, and my recollection is that it was fine, if nothing especially fantastic. Mason Dixon posted:Agreed. Though I think the last arc is actually pretty good. Thanks, I think I'll skip it. I saw it in the shop for cheaper than a 1-cour show, so I guess it must have sold pretty badly.

Metal Loaf posted:My favourite anime series is Slayers (although I've not watched the two most recent series, despite asking about them in the second or third post in this thread), so can anybody recommend something that might be similar to it, maybe something which includes humour (optionally) as well as adventure and doesn't drag on for ages? I don't know if it's like Slayers, but have you seen Trigun? It's a planetary romance-Western, very strong on comedy at first, though it darkens quite quickly.

RebBrownies posted:So criteria: Completed, romantic or surreal, not too many episodes (none of this 500 episode bullshit). Fifthing The Tatami Galaxy, it's everything you're looking for. I really liked the romance aspect in the Planetes anime, although I can see why the characters get up peoples' noses. Kuragehime might fit the bill too; it's a manga and a faithful one-cour anime, and Bonnouji, manga only, a rather sweet romantic comedy. And have you seen Whisper of the Heart? It's a Ghibli film.

Precambrian posted:Hello, ADTRW! Don't watch Eva - or not for this reason, anyway - but Gurren Lagann is a safe bet. Pacific Rim also drew on monster films, and there's a thread on those in Cinema Discusso. I've just finished watching Trigun and felt the last third or so was very rushed - is the manga better in this respect? And is there another series whose director was so addicted to symmetrical compositions, or was I just seeing things?

RubberLuffy posted:Trigun+Trigun Maximum is 17 volumes (3+14), and the anime only uses material from the first 3 or so. I vastly prefer how things go in the manga compared to the anime, but Nightow's art during action scenes ranges from "what?" to "complete incomprehensible clusterfuck". No wonder it felt incoherent...
