Cromartie High School is a classic. Watch the dub.

Len posted:Is Legend of Galactic Heroes better to watch or read? The classic OVA is an extremely faithful adaptation, so I felt like watching and reading were very similar experiences. Choose the medium that is more convenient to you.

Patlabor movies are good, but they're far from representative of what's good about the other Patlabor material. For science fiction, Legend of the Galactic Heroes is such an obvious recommendation that there's a joke about it in the thread title.

jinpachistar posted:Starting to get back into watching anime again; any recommendations for short-episode series? Doesn’t have to be comedies, but I loved stuff like Teekyu and Inferno Cop. Are you open to older stuff? Cromartie High School if you've never seen it. Watch the dub.

I would watch half an episode of Gundam Wing on Toonami and not have a god drat idea what anybody was talking about and assume it was just really complex and deep and then go play video games instead. This is the true experience.

archduke.iago posted:I'm looking for psychological/mind-gamey/gambling themed manga, in the line of Death Note, One Outs, Kaiji, Liar Game, or Gin to Kin. At the risk of being strangled, Legend of the Galactic Heroes has a lot of mindgames and justified strategies, and the main character doesn't always win. It's future space war rather than historical gambling, however.

ahobday posted:I'm looking for anime (and/or manga, which I mentioned because I can't find a manga recommendation thread) where the main character is very good/skilled. It can be in general or at a specific thing. An embodiment of TV Tropes' "The Ace": https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheAce. First thing that comes to mind is Fist of the North Star. Major villains still challenge Kenshiro, but very often he just seems to be toying with his enemies. The 80s anime is cheaply done, but has an iconic style to it; you may end up preferring it to the manga anyway. Any animation of Lupin the 3rd comes pretty close to this, though it varies from episode to episode. I'd also second the recommendation of Golgo 13.

Stop motion animation still counts as animation.

Lupin III is easy to jump into anywhere. There's no continuity, the characters are very transparent, and the style is quite variable. Pick a random episode of anything, and if you don't like what you just watched, try something else where he's wearing a different color jacket or came out in a different decade, and you'll eventually find your favorite.

Cromartie High School doesn't rely on pop culture references to the point that missing them destroys the jokes. It's excellent. Watch the dub. Watch out for one f-slur in an early episode.

Giant Robo: The Day the Earth Stood Still, a 1992-1998 seven-episode OVA about rival organizations of superheroes and supervillains, some of whom use giant robots, who battle for the fate of the world in the face of an unprecedented energy crisis with a dark secret at its heart. God, I should watch that again. Patlabor. Just the whole franchise, really, but probably start with the OVA and go on to the TV series if you liked that. Nominally about a special police unit that responds to crimes involving mechas (all of which are depicted with an unsurpassed emphasis on realism), there's not much I've seen that has the variety, playfulness, and sheer audacity of this series. Anchored by a core cast of lovable weirdos (including several very strong female characters), it is free to transcend genres, so you never know with any given episode if you're going to be seeing mystery, comedy, thriller, existential sci-fi, a surreal character study, or what. When it ventures into social commentary, you may find that its politics are somewhat particular to its circumstances: at the time, police were seen as the lesser evil compared to the military, whereas these days it's more common to see the opposite opinion. Speaking of police, you said you were a bit tired of zany comedies, but hear me out: they don't come any zanier than 2012's no-budget micro-series Inferno Cop, which has the bonus of being watchable in its entirety in a single sitting.

That's an element, but it doesn't really indulge in that feeling of complex space maneuvers. The battles are edited more like a conversation between the admirals. Sometimes you'll have a cut between one guy giving an order on his bridge and the other guy ordering a response on his own bridge, not realizing that hours passed between those shots. It's stoic, handsome anime men standing around outsmarting each other in space, which is cool, but although the sci-fi is relatively hard, it's also relatively unimportant. It's good, is what I'm trying to say here.

If you're willing to tolerate "Technically isekai but it never really comes up," you might try "Faraway Paladin."

The Colonel posted:are there any anime about an idol, specifically one whose body is composed of some durable substance used in the making of mechanical devices, such as metal I can tell this is some kind of joke about "Key the Metal Idol" but I don't seem to have the context to understand what else it's in reference to.

Lots of romantic comedies have the setup where the male lead is a comparatively subdued, passive, and practical man, who's brought by coincidence into contact with the female lead, a comparatively glamorous, proactive, and eccentric woman. What's your favorite that has the opposite premise, where it's a consciously "ordinary" woman falling into the orbit of a more interesting man, while keeping the emphasis more on the "comedy" part of romantic comedy?
