JBP posted:I really enjoy Japanese animation, but I find the fan stuff a bit tiresome when it's relentless. What's a mecha type show I might like that also has sweet modern vehicles or whatever as well? I watched Aldnoah Zero and really liked it, including the goofiness (especially the goofiness of Inaho explaining his zany battle gambits). Eureka Seven the Psalms of Planets. The robots ride on air-surfboards, which is silly, but because of that the movement and action in the show has a very distinct feeling.

It's not a harem but Majestic Prince is is a sci-fi mecha comedy that made me laugh a lot and also has fantastic fight choreography.

Hocus Pocus posted:I've been on a bit of a manga tear recently and was wondering if ya'll had any good recommendations for space opera and/or mecha, manga series? I'm a big fan of the Ken Ishikawa Getter mangas. The 70s ones are kinda rough but they build up into something genuinely fantastic. I also quite liked Linebarrels of Iron, though the translation is spotty at best. The Plot to Assassinate Gihren is a Gundam manga which is quite good, but it assumes the reader is familiar with the original Gundam series so if you haven't seen that you should probably skip it.

Arcsquad12 posted:Mecha shows with a more adult bent recommendations? I'm trying to find something that satisfies my need for giant robits without devolving into tits and rear end when the plot runs thin. I've seen Patlabor, Votoms and Flag, as well as most of the more adult oriented Gundam series. Anything else that fits that mould? Off the top of my head: Fafner, Evangelion if you haven't seen that, the recent SSSS.Gridman was really good but there is some fanservice in it, Giant Robo: The day the earth stood still. Edit: AnoHito posted:Seen Gurren Lagann yet? LOL at recommending TTGL to someone who doesn't want T&A.

Arcsquad12 posted:Seen Eva and I wouldn't exactly consider it what I'm looking for. Gurren Lagann is fine and fun but I really want something that scratches the itch that Patlabor II the movie gave me. I've seen most of Oshii's other work but not a lot of it is really mecha related. I'm angling for more shows or films with adult protagonists that get into the nitty gritty of things rather than show where teenagers save the world with plucky can do attitude and crazy stunts. There's a time and place for that but Rooster Teeth's GenLock left me cold. Fafner is probably not what you're looking for judging by what you just said. Most of the pilots are teenagers and it's not really like Patlabor II at all. The main deal with Fafner is that the entire cast is a close-knit community living on a small island so every pilot is someone's child and everyone on the bridge is someone's mom or dad, which is then used for drama once things start going bad. I will recommend J-Decker though, which ironically is a show for young children. It's very reminiscent of Patlabor, though moreso the TV show than the movies.

diebuster is not something you should watch without seeing its predecessor gunbuster first, and gunbuster does not fulfill the magic requirement. That said they're 6 episodes each and both very good so...

I mean I know like the technical answer is "the beginning," but I don't really have time to watch hundreds of hours worth, so whatever is like "the best" would be a huge help. If it helps, the Mecha anime I like the most is War in the Pocket and Gundam Thunderbolt. Macross Plus

Cephas posted:Any recommendations for stuff about making art? I'm looking to find manga or anime about drawing, painting, manga-making, photography, or other artistic subjects. Blue Period (fine art), Eizouken (animation), and Kakukaku Shikajika (fine art, manga) are like the ideals for me. There's Shirobako, also about making anime, though it's more focused on it from a production standpoint than eizouken.

I tried Listeners and didn't really like the first couple episodes but the concept kicks rear end and I feel certain i've seen gifs or screenshots of dudes playing guitar in a mech or something at some point Eureka Seven is by the same director as Listeners and shares some concepts with it, though the music stuff is mostly references rather than being a part of the plot.

Len posted:Saw a guy saying to skip the back half of TTGL because unless you've seen Getter Robo you'll hate it. If the back half of TTGL is the best half does that mean I'll dig Getter Robo? Instead of Armageddon I'll recommend New Getter Robo. It is IMO the best of the Getter OVAs, doesn't assume you're familiar with any older Getter stuff, and deals with themes similar to TTGL.

I posted something like this in the chat thread too but it got swallowed up in the conversation so here goes: I recently rewatched Shirobako. I have a very strong memory of a scene where the protagonist visits an animator that works from home, recieves the cuts from them and then counts the cuts in front of them. The protagonist later learns that that's a rude thing to do. However, there was no such scene in the show when I rewatched it. I have such strong memory of the scene I don't think I dreamed it up but the only other anime about making anime I remember watching is Eizouken, and it definitely isn't from there. Does anyone know which anime this scene is from?
