Neo_Crimson posted:Any recommendations for Super Robot shows? I've watched, and liked, Gurren Lagann, G-Gundam, Gunbuster, and Diebuster. I've tried Shin Mazinger and GaoGaiGar, but couldn't really get into either. I am going to second Giant Robo, it seems like a good fit to the shows you liked.

If the Getter manga saga seems intimidating, you could start with the four episode anime Neo Getter Robo vs Shin Getter Robo. It features all the major characters in the franchise making it a good place to start, and also features the cowboy robot Texas Mack.

THE AWESOME GHOST posted:1) is there anything as fabulous and manly as Jojos 1) Saint Seiya is a fighting anime so fabulous that they bleed neon, and it's so manly that someone gets punched back to life in an early episode, and that's low on the list of wild stuff that happens. 3) Start with the film Neo Tokyo, and follow it up with the entire filmography of Yoshiaki Kawajiri up to 2001.

Parallax posted:Are there any good horror anime movies? I know of a handful of shows, but is there anything worth watching in the movie-realm? Short OVAs would work, too. I'm just looking for stuff to watch around Halloween. Here's a list I worked with last year, although "good" is extremely subjective here: Devilman (Parts 1+2) Vampire Wars Vampire Hunter D Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust Dracula: Sovereign of the Damned Baoh Psychic Wars There's probably more, but I can't remember right now.

You could try out the various Getter Robo anime, it was a massive influence on TTGL. I'd start out with Neo Getter Robo vs Shin Getter Robo, which is short and introduces pretty much the entire cast, I think it had a recent Bluray release stateside even. After that I'd watch New Getter Robo or Shin Getter Robo: Armageddon, both of which are closer to TTGL's sort of scale.

ninjewtsu posted:is there much action or comedy in it? I would say just watch the first movie, My Conquest is the Sea of Stars, it will give you a pretty good idea of what the rest of the series will be like. It's only an hour long so it's not as big of a time investment. There is action, and there are funny moments, but I can't really say there's "much" action or comedy.

Saint Seiya is straight up nothing except dudes fighting other dudes for ~140 episodes. It's great.

Memories and Neo-Tokyo are more collections of shorter films than features, but they are really dang good. Bonjour, Galaxy Express 999 and Adieu, Galaxy Express 999 are a really good pair to watch, I'd spread them about a week or a few days apart. Seconding Metropolis, as well.

Sarrisan posted:I just finished Hunter-x-Hunter the other day and I'm surprised how much I enjoyed it. It was my first very long series, and also my first straight-shonen. Can anyone recommend another longish series that I might have overlooked for being too mainstream? I gave Fairy Tail the 1-episode treatment and was not very impressed. Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Saint Seiya, the Original Dragonball, Fist of the North Star,

If you want specifically anime, the Saint Seiya anime is just about the only one of the long form shonen whose anime adaptation was better than the source material, if only because it made everything more interesting to look at. The manga gets really, really wordy for fighting manga while the anime is really well directed and paced, and amazingly vibrant and psychedelic at times. It's not as serious or dramatic as HxH ever gets but it's one of the best straight fighting shonen anime there is.

Windows doesn't really go into the details of the game much. I watched the entire first season and I can't really say what rules the game has. The ani.e is more about the dark magic surrounding the game itself and the young women who get caught up it.

Galactic Cyclone Braiger, it's a mecha anime but the robot isn't as important as the space shenanigans J9 gets up to. It has a fun cast of characters, a great soundtrack, and lots of space adventure! I'm only partway through it myself but I've enjoyed it so far.

Fsmhunk posted:What is a good anime for a kaiju fan to watch? I liked what I saw of the anime Neoranga. Basically three sisters inherit their very own kaiju and what I saw at least was about how their community reacts to this and how they use it to try and fix their lives and their community. I never finished it though.
