Wark Say posted:From the New World was better than Madoka. Off the top of my head (along with what was mentioned above already), so are My Bride is a Mermaid, Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu, Nichibros, Nichijou, Utena, The Tatami Galaxy, Nodame Cantabile, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, G Gundam, Gurren Lagann, Ghost in the Shell:Stand Alone Complex, Penguin Drum and probably a lot more. You mention G Gundam but not Giant Robo and Shin Mazinger too? For shame.

I dunno about the intrigue since I only managed to catch the beginning of an episode, but Iria: Zeiram the Animation seems to fit those criteria pretty well.

What are some (preferably bad, preferably 80s) horror anime? October is rolling around and I'd like to show some as part of a yearly bad horror-thon I have with some friends. The shorter the better, an OVA or movie would be ideal. So far I have Vampire Wars and Baoh.

Smoking Crow posted:What's better, the Saint Seiya anime or manga I'd say the anime. It scraps a few of the dumber plot points from the manga, is all around well directed, and is one of the most colorful anime I've ever seen. It also has a legitimately good filler arc, a rarity in shonen action shows. I haven't seen the OVAs that cover the final arc of the manga so I can't really speak to their quality, but they're directed by one of the show directors so they're probably fine.

Smoking Crow posted:To play Devil's advocate, isn't the manga more influential than the anime That's hard to say, both were incredibly popular and left their own marks on the industry. The anime helped popularize pretty boy action stuff and lead to stuff like Ronin Warriors and Gundam Wing. The manga influenced a generation of creators and shaped the shonen battle genre. Both the anime and the manga were popular enough to both have spin-offs and sequels to this very day. I think that the anime is the more enjoyable of the two, for what it's worth.

Anyone have any shows like that to recommend? The California Crisis OVA is good for this

Guyver posted:There was a ton of great stuff in the 80s. Aside from what Sakurazuka said there's Space Adventure Cobra, , They Were 11, Choujin Locke, the first Gundam movies, Arion, Ideon Be Invoked, Xabungle, Arcadia of My Youth, Hokuto no Ken, Macross, Dragon Ball, Bubblegum Crisis, Gall Force, Maison Ikkoku, Project A-Ko, Saint Seiya, Laputa, City Hunter, Devilman OVAs, MADOX-01, Robot Carnival, Riding Bean, Neo Tokyo and Gosenzosama Banbanzai. Probably a lot more I'm forgetting. I'd add Megazone 23, Venus Wars, Fang of the Sun Dougram, Dagger of Kamui, Area 88, Golgo 13: The Professional, and your namesake, Bio-Booster Armor Guyver, to the list as well. I also highly recommend Space Adventure Cobra, it's amazing. e: While not 80s, you should also watch Rose of Versailles. GorfZaplen fucked around with this message at 20:04 on Jan 22, 2015 |

If you do watch Mad Bull 34, make sure to watch it dubbed so you can listen to British people doing their best New York accents, and also the awesome soundtrack.

Me and my buddies have a weekly anime night, and this year we decided to do theme months. Giant Robot January, Fantasy February, and now we've decided it's Magical Girl March. I know basically nothing about the genre, so what are some good magical girl movies/OVAs/episodic series?

Thanks for the suggestions, the shows that are over 12-13 episodes long probably aren't going to happen since we only meet once a week and not long enough for 50 ep stuff. I'm guessing we'll watch various episodic stuff and old stuff, Pretear, and the Sailor Moon movies. e: Which is the Sailor Moon movie with the woman who kidnaps masses of kids and puts them in freaky looking ships? I remember liking that one when I saw it on Toonami.

Fang of the Sun Dougram is entirely about an uprising, albeit more akin to a 50s and 60s colonial uprising than a revolutionary one.

Silver2195 posted:Hunter x Hunter (2011) is good, although it botches the adaptation of some of the early manga chapters. Hunter x Hunter (1999), despite doing a better job with early chapters and doing a great job with atmosphere, changes characterization in subtle but important ways, has some pointless filler, and doesn't include the Chimera Ants and Election arcs. You should probably just watch the 2011 version. Pointless filler is understating it, the filler in the 1999 series was so bad that the second episode was filler.

^ BFT is on Youtube, isn't it? Angel Cop would be a good one, make sure you watch it dubbed and then look up and watch the real ending after you finish it. Really, any bad 80s OVA would do, a lot of them are dubbed, and available in decent quality on youtube. They're also all pretty short so you can have a lot of variety in one night.
