wielder posted:If you can accept a relatively liberal interpretation...I'd recommend the Giant Robo OVA, which actually has more martials arts combat than purely mecha action and was in fact influenced by wuxia. It's also very good in general too. I haven't seen much, but I have seen that and quite enjoyed it. It hadn't occurred to me to think of it as wuxia-inspired, but I see it now, what with all the stylish superpowers and individual tragedies. Even the presence of the giant robot in it worked well, but at the moment I think I would prefer action that remains on the human scale, so G Gundam will have to wait until later. What else you got?

Studio Ghibli's "Whisper of the Heart" is a very pure romance, though possibly more abrupt than you describe.bubblegumbo0 posted:Moribito - Guardian of the Spirit This is the first of these suggestions I've tried, and while it isn't what I thought I wanted (slower, for one thing), it's really hitting the spot. Good suggestion.

Cromartie High School is brilliant. Well-dubbed, too.

I felt like watching something, so I considered coming here to ask. This time I paid attention to the title, and began watching Legend of Galactic Heroes several days ago. I'm enjoying it so far, and my concerns about keeping track of all the characters in a story of this size seem like they were unfounded. Thanks, this thread!

I'd like to thank this thread for telling me to watch Legend of Galactic Heroes. I'd been meaning to, and now that I'm about a dozen episodes in, I'm finding it most satisfactory.

WickedHate posted:How about a good comedy anime? I'm planning on buying a lot and so far the stuff on my list is a lot of fighting and action, and I want to have a more varied collection. The best comedy anime is Cromartie High School. Watch the dub.

Zero_Tactility posted:I dunno. I felt that Kamiyama's voice actor wasn't nearly as good in the dub. Half the humor I got from the character was from how clipped and polite his speech was compared to the rest of the cast. Also, Norio Wakamoto as Mechazawa. It's mostly that the dub uses a different translation with generally excellent comedic timing. The subtitles lean more heavily on the absurdism, but the dub doesn't exactly diminish that aspect either.

Toadsniff posted:So I'm watching LOGH and about 16 episodes in and it's finally starting to hit me, the animation is bad, but the story is great. Tell me, does the animation get any better, seeing as this is a show that ran for 10 years? Most episodes are animated economically, but it brings out the budget when the situation warrants. It gets a lot of mileage out of conversations and fleet maneuvers, but in the "season" finales there's usually some sudden flourishes of detail to underscore the emotion.

jonjonaug posted:"Not ridiculously OP" doesn't really describe Kenshiro at all. Sometimes he likes to let the mooks think their cute little tricks will work, and really, their squirming and subsequent karmic downfall is part of the fun. Plus, most of the main villains even gain the upper hand for a while. Edit: More to the point, although it isn't technically exactly what was asked for, it is in spirit an action show that escapes (predates, really) many of the tiresome cliches of the genre. Its protagonist is stoic, compassionate, merciless, and not an idiot, and while he does have a lot of bullshit powers, he only ever wins by being a more skilled fighter. He has a million ways to ruin some thug's day, but the enemies that are supposed to feel like credible threats manage to do so without getting into any nonsense about power levels.

Chillyrabbit posted:True, it would be worth it at least for me to give it a 5 episode test. Like Touma from certain magical index in the end is actually ridiculously OP considering what he can do but its not a cakewalk for him to win, due to situation or the antagonists. Sakurazuka posted:The worst thing about the Fist of the North Star anime is that it follows the manga for about three episodes then gives us something like 15 or 20 episodes of filler before it gets back on track. Some of it is admittedly hilarious filler though. This is very true. The early filler does not give you a very strong indication of what you're in for. It has a drat good first episode, but the filler does more shallow villain-of-the-week stuff and fewer tragic megalomaniac arc villains.

It's a bad, dangerous idea to even bring it up outside of its thread, unless you're going to be using much more obvious jokes than that. You don't want to risk a poster who will answer the question sincerely showing up and doing that all over your thread. Not even in ADTRW. I have a question. Apart from Lupin the 3rd and Golgo 13, what animes have good heists or other elaborately-planned crimes?

inexpensive meal posted:I hadn't really watched anime until recently. I really, really am enjoying Lain, what else would be in this vein? I like the oppressive atmosphere, the thoughtful themes, the deliberate pace of it. This is going to be kind of an uncommon recommendation, but if it's thoughtfulness and deliberation you're after, have you considered Legend of Galactic Heroes?

I have a burning need for isolated episodes of garbage anime. Just the worst things you've got. Cheap animation, questionable themes, lame jokes, obnoxious characters - anything goes, as long as isn't also slow-paced (boredom is not what I'm looking for). My intention is to pick something at random from the middle, so if context is necessary to grasp the full depth of its badness, that's a mark against it. Being old is a plus.

Baldbeard posted:I'm not really a big anime watcher, but I just finished kyousogiga after seeing it in the GIF thread and I really enjoyed it. Any recommendations on more serious or mature story-telling series like this? Stuff like school boy unlocks special powers + many upskirt shots immediately turns me off of a series, and I find myself having to watch like 20 pilots before finding something I can stick with. If you like mature storytelling, look no further than this thread's title.
