The 80s movie is extremely cool. They don't make seinen ultraviolence like that anymore. I might read the manga since I enjoyed Fist of the North Banker a lot.

Everything Burrito posted:What are some good (or at least decent) sports anime/manga with pro teams or that are at least not set in high school? I already have a big pile of those to watch but want to mix it up with some shows with characters that are actual adults. I've already watched One Outs and Giant Killing is on my list. I am interested in more football mangas with a similar feel if any exist.

Paperhouse posted:Is this also the manga recommendation thread? I've only ever read one manga (20th Century Boys), now I have quite a bit of time at work where there's nothing to do and one of the only unblocked sites is a manga site for some reason. I'm going through Pluto at the moment, help me find what to read after. Obviously I like Urasawa a lot, and am particularly interested in seinen stuff that's more sci-fi/mystery/thriller/fantasy than comedy or slice of life. Any recommendations are appreciated because I really don't know much about manga at all Manhole by Tsutsui Tetsuya is a good manga about cops trying to get to the bottom of a deadly disease outbreak.

Need recs for stuff with really cool industrial design and gadgets. I've seen every GITS film and show. I'm particularly interested in ideas from the 80s/90s/early 2000s of what a portable computer would look like.

Rinkles posted:Mostly anime. But I don't mind manga recommendations if you have something cool in mind. (everything by Urasawa is obviously great) Have you read Master Keaton by Urasawa? It's more lighthearted and episodic than Monster, but it does have a detective feel (the protagonist is an insurance investigator/archaeologist). Manhole by Tetsuya Tsutsui is pretty interesting as well. Detectives try to stop a pandemic. I'd like to read more stuff like this myself. Route End by Kaiji Nakagawa is ongoing, but it might be worth following. The main character works as a cleaner specialising in sanitising homes where people have died. Won't say much else about it. e: EB beat me to recommending Route End! Chas McGill fucked around with this message at 04:45 on Feb 17, 2018 |

I'm not completely new to Gundam - I've seen the first 5 or so eps of the original series and the Thunderbolt movie. I couldn't really get in the former, but loved the latter. I'll give Hathaway a shot!

That Works posted:Check out Origin for sure then. I liked it as much as Thunderbolt I'm starting with Origin cos it's available to stream on Channel 4 here. Thanks for all the responses. I find the Gundam milieu a bit overwhelming. General Ironicus posted:About 100 years ago humanity began colonizing space, with all the inequity and exploitation “colonizing” implies. About 50 years before the movie, a new philosophy got popular saying humanity’s future is in space. Once Earth is left behind, people will become more perceptive, intuitive, and empathetic; and the planet can heal. Twelve years before the movie, a guy preaching his own twist on that idea tried to force it by dropping asteroids until Earth was uninhabitable. During the final battle of his rebellion, a young teen stole a mobile suit to bring a girl in from the fighting, who had gotten herself involved way above her head. Now he’s 12 years older and having a political thriller adventure in a world of climate crisis, refugee crackdowns, and self-interested government elites. Also, “Gundam” is best understood as a marketing term the arms manufacturer uses to designate a top of the line model meant to showcase their latest tech.

I watched the first episode of Origin last night and it was cool. It felt a bit like a wackier LotGH story. I wonder if it says something that I immediately recognised Char but I don't remember anything about the protagonist of the original series...

Further to that, I'm interested in reading more manga set outside of Japan, preferably post-highschool and modernish day rather than historical Things I've read/watched already: * Pretty much all of Naoki Urasawa's series that are set in Europe * Zero: Man of Creation * Lost Man * Space Brothers * Michiko and Hatchin * Eden of the East

Thanks for all the recs - a lot I didn't know about. Endorph posted:Eden: Endless World is a near modern day sci-fi-ish thing set in South America. That Works posted:Great Pretender is on Netflix and mostly set in Hollywood for the first season. Idk about the later seasons. Arcsquad12 posted:On the topic of "shows outside of Japan" I know it's kind of cheating because they're science fiction, but Universal Century Gundam shows tend to be quite good in representing a more cosmopolitan view of the earth. Several of the space colonies show major American influence (especially the Side 6 colonies which might as well be small-town USA) and Hathaway did a really neat job depicting Davao.

Any manga with the feel of Final Fantasy 7? Fantasy-industrial setting, magic alongside technology. Ecological or anti-capitalist themes would be a plus.

Arc Hammer posted:How about some recs for shows set in the real world but outside of Japan? I tried Great Pretender but I'm not really a fan of con job stories where they explain poo poo afterwards with a series of arbitrary asspulls. SpyXFamily is good but it's more about emulating the feel of a cold war European city than anything specifically real world. I want to see shows set in verifiable real world places and see how Japan represents them, be they accurate depictions or Mad Bull 34 insanity depictions. Maybe Yuri On Ice might fit the bill? Monster is in Germany. Master Keaton is all over the world.

Rochallor posted:So I've never really watched much anime, but recently I've been trying to watch more as a way of keeping my Japanese skills fresh. Part of it is that I don't really have an interest in the high school setting that so many shows seem crammed into. Space stuff and historical settings are more to my liking, especially if the history stuff is reasonably accurate. I'm willing to bear high school stuff it it deals in actual emotional stakes. I think we have pretty similar taste so I'll suggest some of my recentish faves: Oddtaxi - don't be put off by the animal people, it's an interesting noirish story featuring adult characters Run with the Wind - about college students training to run the Hakone Ekiden. Sonny Boy - high schoolers, but with a metaphysical mystery, varied environments, and great animation/visual direction. Megalobox - cyberpunk boxing with good soundtracks in both seasons, looks great. Maybe: Kids on the Slope - highschoolers, but fairly mature and realistically depicted. Very well animated and scored anime about a jazz pianist and drummer. Old, obvious recs: Monster (dark thriller) and Master Keaton (globetrotting hypercompetent insurance investigator).

Looking for old man 'edutainment' manga where the author has a passion for a certain subject or has just been reading an encyclopedia of weird facts and wants to make stories out of them. I'm thinking stuff like Professor Munakata, Zero: the Man of Creation. To be clear, I don't need to learn any true facts, I just like the vibes of Zero repairing a cursed Peruvian artefact or Munakata discovering a rural legend is true.
