You should try Legend of the Galactic Heroes, OP.





I'm in the middle of Rose of Versailles right now but I'm gonna be totally out of shows when I'm done. I'm looking to brush up on my 70s/80s anime, and the only things I can recall that I've seen are this, LoGH and Gunbuster. What other classics am I missing?

Hello, I forgot to cancel my Crunchyroll subscription again so I'm looking for more recommendations for anime that'll make me cry of happiness and/or awesome "JUST AS PLANNED" anime.
(Manga works too and doesn't need to be in Crunchyroll as long it's online somewhere)

In the last couple of months I have cried after watching:
- Usagi Drop
- My Love Story!!
- Shirobako
- Non Non Biyori (it was almost too chill though)

I'm planning to watch:
- Euphonium

im looking for good, finished and relatively long (not like 400 chapters but between 50-200 is ok) shonen or shoujo to read on the plane. little to no fanservice

I'm reading through Eden: It's An Endless World on recommendation from the Convince With One(or more) Pages thread and I'm not really feeling it. I mean it's decent, and the artwork is great, the various storylines can be okay and the mechanical designs and such are fantastic, but it's basically the "you're gonna have a bad time" of manga. Are you a character in Eden? Chances are, you're gonna have a bad time. Are you a child or a woman onscreen at any point in Eden? You're probably gonna have a bad time. Are you a heavily armored power suit soldier or a cop? You're definitely gonna have a bad time. Are you a character who's been in the series for half its run, had a pretty nice amount of character growth, is a strong character in your own right, and end up with a happy ending? You're goddamn guaranteed to have a bad time. Nothing ever goes right, someone always sabotages [thing], everyone's a spy/backstabber.

It's like the author cannot under any circumstances let anyone come out of a bad situation well, or if they do, sure as shootin' something even worse will happen to them later on.

Oh and "having a bad time" means "horrifying, gruesome death by dismemberment, headshot, decapitation, impalement, riddled by bullets, explosion, immolation, evisceration, brain-fry, etc"

There's like, two characters I can think of who haven't yet been mutilated somehow and have been around for a long time. Hell, one of the others who was, just DID get mutilated. There was a comparison to Ghost in the Shell in there but I'm feeling like this is much more disjointed and incohesive than GITS, especially GITS:SAC.

I'm maybe halfway through though, just got to the part where Helena shows up again for just long enough to get her brains blown right the gently caress out

This probably makes me a huge anime philistine but I can never get into stuff that old.

Should I watch Rose of Versailles? I have enjoyed both Utena and Le Chevalier D'Eon and I know both are heavily influenced by this show, but I know relatively little about it other than that it's A. Gorgeous and B. Focuses on crossdressing swordfighters in Ancien Regime France.

The show would be the second-oldest anime I'd have seen (it came out in 1980, only the original Gundam is older of what I've seen). It will also be the first series I've tackled since LOGH so I am very ready for court politics. Does this series hold up? 40 Eps is a real commitment (maybe 3-4 months).

Isn't space adventure cobra the go to series people recommend for that sort of thing? Or whatever it's called.

Any good finished manga's I can read? I have been reading Angel Densetsu which I found out about in this forum and its a pretty fun read.

I normally go in the "Convince someone to read a manga with 1 panel" thread but a lot of the manga tend to be on going. I literally have so many manga I just put on hold because they are going on forever. I don't really like reading on going mangas sometimes I catch up but then I stop again with things like Berserk/One Piece/Vinland Saga.

Also is it against the rules to talk about online manga reader sites? I don't think there is any official service like Crunchyroll for Manga other than Crunchyroll or the Shounen Jump online but they contain only a few manga.

Oh ya I have heard of those. Biscuit hammer seems like a comedy from the summary though I am not really sure. I had it on my read list for a long time.

Kurosawa sounds like a fun read. I just read one of Fukamoto's other manga recently, Buraiden Gai which was pretty good.

Ulio posted:

Do all of that mangaka's characters look the same?(really sharp angular faces) I mean I don't mind since he writes some wonderful emotional stores.

Has anyone got any good suggestions for a sci-fi manga? Something in space, like a cowboy bebop type of set up rather than mechas.

All the stuff I am finding these days is real world or fantasy. Just in the mood for someone getting up to some han solo style shanigans
