Spiritus Nox posted:Is Shakugan no Shana any good? I was looking for something to pick up on the PS store (P.S Let me know if this is a terrible idea) and it caught my eye as a name I'd seen before, and the description sounds like it could go either way. It's been a while since i've seen it, but i remember thinking it was pretty cool but then it drags its feet for way too long

Torquemadras posted:Sure - gonna keep that in mind. That kind of attitude kept me from watching K-On and Madoka for the longest time, and oooooooh boy those were GREAT. I feel like I've been missing out on a whole lot of honestly great stuff by just suspecting shows of general creepiness, when the genuinely good stuff really isn't. Or maybe I'm a creep now too. I dunno, I've got an anime avatar. as the name implied, the first episode is actually the last episode, chornologically. Check out the second one as well, it's where the story actually starts. Also, i am sorry but you called Kouji generic and annoying and so i must destroy you

throughout the entire first episode. It does not gently caress around. Even if I end up not liking it all that much, I think I'll definitely check out the finale, because that much insanity crammed into one episode is a sight to behold.

RabidWeasel posted:I think there might be entire episodes where he only says "what" and "bastard", he's like purestrain shonen, the only thing stopping him from being generic as gently caress is that he's so god drat angry all the time. The original Mazinger Z started in 1972. Kouji isn't generic, others are generic for copying him. Learn your history

VostokProgram posted:I don't think I'll get good results from posting in Games, so is it okay if I ask for VN recommendations here? I was gifted World End Economica and I thought it was good so now I'm looking to explore more of the medium. I don't have any particular genre in mind, just want to try the "classics". Preferably on Steam, or otherwise easily accessible for a dumb English-speaker. Umineko no Naku Koro Ni. The VN is great, the anime is garbage. Kindred Spirits on the Roof

TheEye posted:There have been a lot of fantasy anime series released in the past couple years. Yona, Arslan, Rokka, Snow White, and probably more I'm forgetting. Did any of them turn out to be great, must-watch shows for fantasy fans? Snow White isn't really a fantasy show but it is fantastic.

Patter Song posted:Just wanted to thank this thread for pushing me to watch Gundam X. 4 eps in and I think it's quite good. It's not quite as...fast-paced as other Gundam series are, but that's fine. It's going to be as hard as Turn A was for remembering all the names, though. It's pretty obviously meant to be a what-if scenario of a worst-case One Year War scenario, so the shared terminology and designs are in service to that. All gundam keep the Suit/Armor distinction though.

Kokoro Wish posted:There's also the 2009 Mazinger Z, if you want a look into the reimagined origin of the genre. I am down with anything Go Nagai. Mazinger Z being the origin of the genre is a myth, the original mecha manga was actually Tetsujin 28-go, which preceded it by 16 years. It also had a very good reimagining by the same director as 2009 Mazinger Z in 2004.

Ideally something you could describe as heartwarming. I've watched a fair amount of Ghibli and any I haven't are already on the list. Thanks! Flying Witch.

AlternateNu posted:I need recommendations for anime that came out this year. I usually have at least two or three under my belt by now for the annual forum vote, but new job has made time for sifting through the typical heaps-o-crap difficult. I haven't even had a chance to watch Diamonds are Unbreakable, yet. :/ Concrete Revolutio. Technically it started last year but it finished this year. It's a story about alternate-universe 1960s-70s Japan, and nearly every character and event in the show refers back to either 1) Time-accurate pop culture or 2) actual historical events. Despite this the show is very thematically cohesive, as well as well animated. Furthermore, it also uses a non-chronological narrative in a really interesting and cool way. The nature of the show also means that you have a magical girl, giant robot and were-jaguar fighting together against knock-off Godzilla, which is rad as gently caress.

Nate RFB posted:Bonnouji doesn't really have a love triangle, though? Not that it isn't wonderful of course. Also if you're willing to open the manga Pandora's Box then the sky's the limit for shoujo/josei romances really since a lot will feature a female lead. He said romance/love triangle, so having a love triangle isn't necessary.

to say I just want something weird but energetic like Food Wars! without the fanservice and less highschooly. I want a character who is already cool and his or her character arc is to become cooler, not to turn from a wimp to a badass.

Bricklord posted:Ajin was pretty mint. Anything similar that I can burn through? Felt like it was really similar to Tokyo Ghoul, but more emphasis on realism in the scenario of a super-human, if that means anything in an anime. I haven't seen Ajin but Concrete Revolutio is about alternate universe 1960s-70s Japan where the big difference from our world is that superhumans exist.

PerniciousKnid posted:Could I get some good animes on Netflix that aren't leaning into ecchi or harem? I just watched Sword Art Online after seeing some good reviews and I might be scarred for life so I could use a come-back. I already watched One Punch Man but now I'm afraid to try anything else because I'm a compulsive completionist even for stuff that turns out to be mildly terrible. I'd also prefer to avoid bloodpornish stuff like Attack on Titan and Gantz. Kuromukuro is on netflix and I enjoyed it quite a lot.

VolticSurge posted:So I'm looking for a lighthearted anime, can be any kind. Mostly because I've been through a messy patch. So far only thing I've had suggested to me by a friend is a thing called Something Something Sakamoto. (Can't remember the actual title right now. All I recall is that the word Sakamoto was involved.) Patlabor. Not the second or third movie though.

Tuxedo Catfish posted:I really don't like dividing things up that way. Gurren Lagann isn't actually any dumber than Evangelion -- it's wronger, but that's an ideological question, not a question of how much it has to say or how articulately it makes its point. This might be outside the scope of this thread but why do you think ttgl is wronger than nge?

Eela6 posted:How do I get into Mecha stuff? Some Gundam is really good, some Gundam is really bad, most of it falls somewhere in between. If you wanna give Gundam a try I'd recommend Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket. It is the rare Gundam trifecta of good, short, self-contained. edit: also Patlabor is my favorite show so I second the recommendation above.
