Blue Labrador posted:So my favorite shows have been The Woman Called Fujiko Mine, The Tatami Galaxy, and Revolutionary Girl Utena. Can anyone recommend any Art Ho anime that are in similar veins to those? Extra points if they have queer overtones, but nowhere necessary if they have interesting characterization or animation quirkiness. Since you enjoyed The Tatami Galaxy you should definitely hit up everything else that Masaaki Yuasa directed. They're all winners. Personally I recommend checking out Mind Game next!

Ofaloaf posted:I've been picked by the local anime group to pick a movie for us all to watch, but I'm unsure what to pick, partially paralyzed by indecision over choices already in my head and partially hesitating in case there's something really cool that I don't know about. The group recently saw The Night Is Short, Walk On Girl, and they quite liked the production parts of Eizouken- we're all creatives working in the video game industry, so that struck a chord. Redline and Mind Game are both films I've been thinking about already, but there's gotta be some better, wilder to see. Two recent, excellent movies that immediately come to my mind are On-gaku: Our Sound and Pompo the Cinephile. Both are movies about art (and Pompo spends a large chunk of time on the production side of making movies!) and both are quite stylish too.

Ulio posted:Any thriller/mystery/horror type anime similar to Shiki, Higurashi, Monster? Don't mind manga's either, if they are easy to find digitally. I've heard Naoki Urasawa's other works are good but don't know which one is similar to Monster in that sense. They're not exactly the same as Monster but as far as other Urasawa works go Pluto, 20th Century Boys, and Billy Bat are all great manga that are in a similar vein as Monster.

PRADA SLUT posted:Needs recs for an adult woman (if relevant). Not necessary josei or love drama. If it mains women, they should drive positive action in the plot. Doesn’t have to be acclaimed, just good enough to the degree of like a western superhero TV show. I am gonna call for a Mari Okada double threat by recommending The Anthem of the Heart and O Maidens in Your Savage Season.

pork never goes bad posted:I've been enjoying some romcom type anime and manga recently but a lot of em are set in highschool and feature pretty gratuitous fan service of underage characters. I'm looking for recommendations that aren't quite so skeezy, both manga and anime. Things that are somewhat low fan service, with adult protagonists, cute character designs with distinctive individual partners (I'm interested in both straight and gay stories in this sorta space with any combo of genders - I really want the main protagonists to feel like they have a connection more than I have any desires for who the protagonists are or even how many of them there are, though prototypical harem stories have a hard bar to clear), and romantic payoff achieved in like not a huge investment of time. I haven't read or watched a ton in this sorta genre but for an anime Sign of Affection is an imperfect example from this season, kaguya-sama could be perfect if they were in college, and the manga for Hokkaido gals has just a bit too much fan service for my tastes and is a little slow. I'm hoping y'all can point me to some cool manga and anime. Josee, the Tiger and the Fish is a real good movie that might just be exactly what you're looking for.

pork never goes bad posted:And I had not heard of Josee, the Tiger and the Fish but you're right - it looks like exactly what I want. I'm often worried about disabled characters, particularly though not exclusively when written by able writers, being used as inspiration porn. It sounds like this story manages to both be ultimately uplifting without falling into that trap, so I'm very excited to watch! Thank you very much for pointing me towards it. Yea that was a concern going in when I first watched it but thankfully it avoids being overly precious about it. Enjoy!

Arc Hammer posted:So my local theater plays some anime films every month and I've taken my friend who hasn't warched very much out to see two movies so far: Cowboy Bebop and then this past week we watched Paprika. He told me he really enjoyed both of them and said that he does want to try and tackle Eva at some point. I figure if he wants to try it I won't stop him but I'd still like to find some more film recommendations to try on him rather than TV series. This is a topic where I could endlessly recommend stuff but in the interest of keeping the focus narrow I'll throw out the following: On-gaku, Blue Giant, Pompo the Cinephile, and all of Yuasa's movies.

Roctavian posted:What about underwater anime in general, not just submarines? Any genre. My partner is a diver and never gets tired of watching underwater stuff. While not the main focus of it, the protagonist in Josee, the Tiger and the Fish is a college student that studies marine biology and also works at a shop that sells diving gear. There's a few diving scenes too.

Arc Hammer posted:Got a question wrt Miyazaki films. I haven't watched Nausicaa and I want to watch it in English. What are the differences between the dub options and is Warriors of the Wind worth checking out as a weird 80s artifact? The only two dubs out there are the Disney dub and the hacked up version. Can't say the hacked up version is worth checking out in full since at the end of the day even in a hypothetical where the dub itself were accurate to what's going on, there's no great movie that wouldn't become a mess after removing almost half an hour from it.

AFancyQuestionMark posted:Hello again, everyone. This time I am looking for a one cour or shorter anime that has some sort of central mystery that is unraveled/deduced by the characters. Something like Everything Becomes F or Zaregoto: Kubikiri Cycle. It doesn't necessarily have to involve detectives or be a murder mystery, just something that involves theories/reasoning. A moody atmosphere is a plus. Giant Robo has exactly what you'd want!!
