Have you tried Eureka 7? The first half focuses more on the characters and setting up the world and story, but the second half has a good amount of loving the man. Edit: and since I'm in the middle of it right now, how about Dunbine? muike fucked around with this message at 04:02 on Mar 30, 2013 |

I actually feel like Innocence is a better film overall, but I'm generally in the minority on that, and it's not based on much more than how I felt after watching Ghost in the Shell and Innocence back to back. I'm also a big Oshii dorkus. There's some references from and cues to Innocence in SAC, but you'll live without knowing them if it's bothering you. I'd say it's worth watching for its own sake though. It's beautiful and the music is excellent as heck.

No, it's Kenji Kawai. Same as the first film iirc. Him and Mamoru Oshii are like my slam dunk dream team. For the record, I did watch Innocence after already having seen Stand Alone Complex, so that's likely to affect my view of it.

Nothing. E7AO basically took the setting and story of E7 and took a huge poo poo over it and its characters. It's almost as bad as the E7 movie.

Bruc posted:This may not be the best thread for it but is Eureka 7 AO worth watching if I enjoyed the original? I watched the first episode of it last night and didn't really know what to make of it. Maybe you should try the movie instead! Just kidding, don't. Listen to AO's soundtrack though. One of the guys from Supercar did it, it's pretty tight

If you want maximum Urobuchi "quality" see Blassreiter. And with Ichiro Itano of Macross and...Angel Cop fame directing, how could it go wrong?? The answer: The first 66& is really good, the final act is horrible.

I think most people here saw that when they were like 12. Gundam Wing got me interested in the idea, but I wasn't super up on Gundam until cartoon network started airing 0079. I was pissed when they didn't finish the run, it was like 1979 all over agaaaaaain

Finished up Texhnolyze recently. Anything else out there like that and Ergo Proxy? By the way would someone who knows more about Buddhism than me (i.e. anything at all) give me some insight into Texhnolyze? In addition to that, I'm trying to find this anime based on one scene I caught on Cartoon Network many years ago. I remember kids in Japanese fox masks running around in a cyberpunk as gently caress city with neon lights everywhere playing hide and seek. There may have been a monster hunting them down. Anyone have an idea what I'm thinking of?

Can someone recommend something along the vein of Gasaraki or any other more realistic-styled robots? I don't like Flag and I've seen VOTOMS, so the Takahashi well is basically dried up for me at this point.

Those are a bunch of good recommendations, thanks. I'm not a fan of Shirow, but when other people adapt his work I generally like it. I didn't know Blue Gender was Takahashi, and I've been meaning to get around to Dougram and MADOX. hello i am vifam edit: for what it's worth I'm not too worried about realism, just things that shy away from Video Game SciFi and a little closer to SciFI, I realize Gasaraki isn't a great example. Another show I enjoyed recently was Texhnolyze, and it shared a similar atmosphere to Ergo Proxy that I really enjoy. Anything somewhat dark without going into super edgy territory and science fictionish would be nice. muike fucked around with this message at 07:00 on Jun 12, 2013 |

DamnGlitch posted:Chiming in that tex might be good later but the first like ten episodes are some of the most boring Unentertaining things I've ever watched. One of the few anime I just couldn't bring myself to watch more of. I actually really like all the episodes of Texhnolyze, but I'm a weirdo when it comes to poo poo like that. It felt almost like an anime version of an experimental late-nineties geocities collaborative video series or something.

Robert Denby posted:"Dream Machine" ever being released or even finished is very iffy, which is a drat shame. There's been next to no information about it for a good two years now, though one of its producers says he hopes to have it finished by 2015. It's somehow more likely than Nagano finishing Gothicmade, despite Satoshi Kon being dead. And yeah, I really do recommend checking out things Chiaki Konaka. He's one of the people whose name will attract me to something instantly. Srice posted:Gothicmade did finish and was in theaters late last year! It's just something that nobody paid attention to since it was out at around the same time Eva 3.33 was. Whoops! I'd be slightly embarrassed but I think Nagano should probably be more embarrassed muike fucked around with this message at 23:38 on Jun 30, 2013 |

It's like an entire arc of SAC crammed into a single episode, then stretched into a movie. It's alright.

Try Texhnolyze. At least get through the first two or three episodes unless you immediately abhor it in every way, it's really strange and I love it.

Geek U.S.A. posted:Thanks for all the recommendations! Interestingly enough while reading about how bad E7:AO is I accidentally spoiled myself and now am sort of intrigued at the time travel which ViggyNash mentioned. I did watch E7 many years ago and I can't really figure out what time travel has to do with that universe. It doesn't, really.

Kind of. Most of the OVAs, Last Red Shoulder and Big Battle aside, make Chirico into Space Wolverine Jesus, which is irksome. Merrowlink isn't great, but it's fun enough on its own. I haven't seen the newer ones, Phantom Arc and Alone Again. Case Irvine is like an alternate universe setting, I think. In short, give them a shot if you like the sound of it. At the very least, I think Pailsen Files had some nice action.

I think Miura started the manga perfectly. Big burly one armed dude missing an eye loving a lady. Suddenly she's a succubus and going to kill him. No, gently caress you, demon, you've fallen into my trap. Giant sword.
