Anonymous Robot posted:Yo, recommend me something cool if you dare! Patlabor. Generally recommended to go Early Days OVAs -> Movie 1 -> Movie 2, then if one wants more, the TV anime, which is in a different continuity with the same characters. Panty and Stocking With Garterbelt has a fantastic dub and is hilarious with occasional neat action scenes. e: I didn't say anything about Patlabor. The thread sells it better than I could.

Seconding the Patlabor recommendation. There's also a Patlabor simulwatch planned, so you could wait for that. Also, there are no Evangelion OVAs, so i'm not sure what you're talking about.

Re: Patlabor I've always thought the movies looked cool. I'm more looking for a TV series to watch though. I did try watching the Patlabor series a while back and did not care for it much, but I've heard the OVAs/movies are tonally different, and better.

", and i don't agree that they're not present in lots of other media, except maybe the chibi faces and sweat drops. worse in anime maybe, but this thing where people throw a fit over mildly obnoxious tropes in anime is absolutely as unique to the medium as the tropes themselves are

There are a lot of lovely tropes that are 90% related specifically to anime that are horrendously dumb. And it isn't just "chibi faces" or "sweat drops". It includes pandering moe bullshit, the propensity for the high school setting regardless of its storytelling usefulness, the advent of the protag harem, and a bunch of other crap. When people use "anime" as a pejorative, I get it because that poo poo exists and gets on my nerves, too. The only difference is I'm willing to ignore it for the parts I do like. And I totally understand if someone else isn't.

I love it when people act like anime is the only medium ever to have female characters that are just there to be cute and/or sexy. Nothing else has ever done that, no sir.

Hi guys, I'm still looking for anime (in Crunchyroll) that'll make me cry out of happiness/heartwarming.Nate RFB posted:There were some eps in the new NNB season that, while I wouldn't say hit hard, were certainly emotional resonating. Thanks! While the first season was too chill to make me cry, the second season episode with Renge and Candy Store got me all teary eyed.

I'm not sure if it's actually still on crunchryoll, but yeah the Bunny Drop is so heartwarming your heart might literally burst into flames. It's super good. So watch that if it is still up, and consider it even if it's not. AnoHana is another good suggestion, it is much heavier on the sadness however.

I don't really agree; you may or may not like anohana if crying from happiness/heartwarming is your thing. I felt like laughing from how hard it tried to sell a cheesy, melodramatic ending as a heartwarming finale. Key anime adaptations are good for heartwarming/destroying romance drama, but the only one on CR is Angel Beats as far as I know. I really liked Angel Beats but it has some obvious production issues in that its second half is very rushed. It's still got some melodrama at the end, but there was enough good stuff there to counter. N'thing Usagi Drop (the anime). Absolutely adorable and heartwarming.

Yeah. I always recommend the usagi drop anime because it's outstanding and doesn't overstay its welcome, and it's a goddamn shame the manga turned so terrible that it retroactively soured people on giving the anime a shot. But if you just stick with the anime you'll be fine, do not read the manga.

I'm in the mood for something optimistic -- is there anything like the manga/anime equivalent of Star Trek? Something set in a clean, optimistic future, about characters doing things in space or somesuch. Planetes was great, but a bit downbeat.
