Going after plot holes in anime is a fool's errand anyways. A majority of the time it comes up it might make sense with some dumb logic but that ain't a plot hole.

ninjewtsu posted:Are there any sports anime that you'd recommend that sounds similar to the kind of show I'm looking for Ippo gets really exciting. I binged the whole first season in like a week back when I was younger and had way more free time. It's really addictive and that first season stays fresh all the way through, since there's plenty of variety in the fights and the animation does a fine job at illustrating that.

A lot of talented people worked on it and it was all a waste because it had no bite to it.

Gintama is long but it's mostly pretty episodic so you can pick it back up real easy after breaks, taking your time instead of binging. It really would be a solid fit.

Log Horizon season 2 felt like a series that forgot what made it so compelling in the first place. I dug the non-action parts of the first season but I was never able to finish season 2 because it felt like all of the major story beats were about fighting, and that's by far the weakest element of the show. The lackluster animation quality didn't help either. Not that season 1 had impeccable animation by any means, but it was less of an issue because it wasn't nearly as action-oriented as season 2 was.

Nate RFB posted:After the knee jerk reaction to hating on LOGH after Zorak left I would be down with a resurgence of "hey this show is actually pretty cool". I always figured it was because it became like Game of Thrones was in TBB years ago; the default, blanket recommendation even when it doesn't fit (the most egregious case of this I recall seeing: it being recommended to someone who enjoyed Kyousogiga and wanted more like it). Doesn't really happen any more thankfully and heck maybe when that new project they announced forever ago sees the light of day there will be more positivity about the series.

It's odd to single out Chihayafuru as the only good sports anime. A lot of it plays out in line with traditions of the genre, it just happens to be a very solid execution of said traditions.

AnoHito posted:For one, I thought Chihayafuru plays out more like a shoujo anime than a sports anime. Shounen-y battle is just one flavor of sports anime out there. There are plenty of shows that are entirely different. Ping Pong being one lots will namedrop but there's also pretty much any Adachi work too, to name another; stuff like Cross Game and Touch definitely come across as written by someone with a passion for the sport while at the same time wanting to tell a very human story instead of just focusing on the matches.

Even tho Ippo eventually gets real bad it's definitely worth pointing out that not only is the first season consistently great, but it does end at a point that feels just fine for an ending. So even though the story has been going on for decades you can just watch that and leave feeling satisfied.

Motto posted:What are some original/standalone movies people would recommend from the last few years? I had the opportunity to actually go out and see a few (Your Name, Maquia, Liz, Night is Long) when they got theater runs, but I feel like there are probably a lot that slipped my mind between getting announced or received and becoming available in English one way or the other. As far as stuff outside of what you mentioned a few of the highlights to me over the past few years have been In This Corner of the World, Lu Over the Wall, I Want to Eat Your Pancreas, and Haikara-san. Except for Lu they're all directed by people who aren't household names so as far as western audiences go it sure feels like not a lot of people have seen them.

ninjewtsu posted:the argument could be made that seasons 2 and 3 are better than season 1. the animation, at least, is incredible Hell if nothing else due to the long wait the subsequent seasons didn't have to worry about adapting too much of the manga at once so that alone is a big point in their favor compared to the first season.

grate deceiver posted:What's a good hard sci-fi anime released in the last, let's say, 5 years? Something with mostly adult characters (no highschoolers, no coming of age stories), 'serious' tone and relatively grounded in reality (or Nihei-style posthumanism). The Yamato remakes are probably your best bet.

Dias posted:I'm super outta the loop when it comes to the year's anime, I've watched Sarazanmai which I quite liked and nothing else. What were the standouts in you guys' opinions? It feels like last year had more hyped poo poo. For the time being I think the only thing that's a contender above Sarazanmai for me is Mix, and I'm proud to be one of the dozen people outside Japan that's watching it.

Dias posted:What is a Mix? Baseball anime from the guy behind Touch and Cross Game, tho considering how it's more about character dynamics and the occasional drama more than playing baseball I'd still recommend it to anyone even if they don't care for baseball or sports in general. Something that always stands out to me when hitting up an Adachi work is that he frequently tackles sibling relationships in a way that I rarely see in anime.

Ulio posted:Anyone here watched or read The Kindaichi Case Files? Seems like it was pretty big in Japan, it has a bunch of adaptions in different media but this is the first I've heard of it while searching for some 90s manga to read. Kinda looks like Detective Conan but with older characters? Not sure. I know lots of people who recommended me Detective Conan, saying it's legit one of the best anime/manga's still airing today but it's has like a million episodes/chapters/movies. I've watched some of the older anime series and the first movie. It's neat. What I watched had a different taste than what I've seen of Conan (tho heck, both are good) since there's more of an emphasis on how a murder can mentally affect the friends/family of the victim, how messed up it is that there is even a murder mystery to solve, etc. Not to say that it doesn't want the audience to play along with the mystery, mind you. It's a pretty solid choice if that's the kind of murder mystery you want.

Schneider Heim posted:On a whim I watched Mamoru Hosoda's One Piece movie (Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island) and liked it, even if I'm not a One Piece fan. Or perhaps it's exactly because I'm not a fan that I liked it (not sure what actual fans think of it), because it's a self-contained story that didn't last 10+ episodes. The second Urusei Yatsura movie and Patlabor 2 are both incredible movies that I've had great success with in showing them to people who have zero exposure to their respective franchises.

Glagha posted:Man, Lupin's tone has always been all over the place hasn't it? I remember hearing the... I wanna say manga that predates the anime being much, much darker and more explicit. The anime is horny but mostly cartoon slapstick stuff, and other media varies wildly between Castle of Cagliostro and the newer movies that are all much more violent and/or horny. It's best to think of it very much like how, say, superhero comics have had different tones and interpretations of characters over the decades. Even the first anime diverged hard from the source material because Lupin was not a violent rapist in it.

Rahzmataz posted:I'm only really giving anime a try for the first time right now after someone strongly recommended Eizouken, and honestly i'm really enjoying it. I've also been watching Haikyu and i've really enjoyed that too. What are some other shows I should check out? I'm not particularly interested in dark and moody stuff. The director of Eizouken, Masaaki Yuasa, has put out a fair amount of anime and they're all great so if you want stuff in a comparable style definitely look up his other stuff (I suggest Tatami Galaxy, personally).

Since you have enjoyed Kaiba, Ping-Pong, and Eizouken, I see no reason why you wouldn't have a great time just hitting up everything else Masaaki Yuasa has directed. I suggest hitting up Tatami Galaxy & Mind Game in particular.

I've jotted Run With the Wind down since I saw it mentioned a couple of times but would love to get some more suggestions. Hajime no Ippo and Major are great picks for stuff more in line with the shonen style of Haikyu. Ping Pong, Cross Game, and Touch are all excellent works if you want something more drama-oriented.
