Psycho-Pass is great, so long as you skip the second season. It's directed by someone else, and though it honestly starts out alright it pivots hard into stupidity midway and it's clear they fundamentally do not get the basic principles and concepts of the setting. The movie afterwards brings back Gen Urobuchi to direct, and it's fantastic. Are the specials/seasons after that any good?

Peteyfoot posted:Alright cool can I get a recommendation for a completed manga series that has a similar feel to BLAME! Something atmospheric and moody. Side-note, but go play Signalis if you haven't already and want something with BLAME!'s atmosphere. Also if you've finished BLAME! and haven't ready Tsutomo Nihei's other works yet, go read BiOmega and Abara for something with a similar tone. There's also NOiSE, which is a prequel to BLAME!, and I have just learned has had a hardcover reprint so if you'll excuse me I have an Amazon order to make even though I have an original softcover version...

My hardcover copy of NOiSE arrived today, and it's very nice if anyone else likes Tsutomo Nihei's works. It's about the same size as a regular manga volume (The actual pages and art are the same size as the original softcover manga volume), just with a nice sturdy hardcover. They've done a new translation for it too that's very solid, and it even includes the original BLAME! short story that the original release did too. (With a minor translation quibble in it of "Killy" being more directly translated as "Kyrii" here, but meh it's just a neat short story of Killy Shoots Stuff.)Peteyfoot posted:I appreciate all these recs! I added Signalis to my backlog and will read Tsutomo's other works, I think the only one I've already read is BiOmega. Add SNIKT! to the list as well, I picked up that as well and it was a good fun time. And very much a Tsutomo work in setting and tone.

Azran posted:Should I watch the anime or just go with the manga? From what I can tell it was originally an LN Can't speak to the manga, but the anime's a good dozen-episode comedy of misunderstandings. Give it at least two episodes, you'll understand why at the end of the first one.

Actually an addendum and correction to this; Watch Redline on the biggest screen, with the best sound system, in the highest quality/resolution you have access to. If possible. Your eyes and ears will thank you.

sailormoon posted:I really enjoyed Frieren and the Monogatari series. Bunny Girl Senpai kinda hit the spot but felt like a cheap knockoff -- any animes up to that caliber in recent years? Have you watched the Rascal dreams of a dreaming girl movie yet? Go watch that right now if not.

doomrider7 posted:Shangri-la Frontier. It's VRMMO like SAO except actually good. Infinite Dendrogram isn't an amazing show, but it does a good job of holding to its VRMMO world's internal rules without breaking them arbitrarily for cheap drama and power creep. Even the villains are just other players bound to the rules, they're just high-end players, and it's a fun little show all round.

Half-recommendation in general for if you want something recent with the aesthetics of a 80's/90's OVA, go watch Metallic Rouge. The writing and tone really feels like something that would've been a four-episode OVA in the 90's, down to the OP.

Sakurazuka posted:That's the manga adaptations, although there was allegedly an attempt to make a FoxKids version which turned Van into more the main character and reduced Hitomi's role but it never got past the pilot stage iirc Had to double-check but it actually exists in totality... kinda. It's partially lost media, as there's parts of two episodes missing, but otherwise it had a full 23-episode run (some were skipped altogether). Also the same VA's as the "proper" English dub by Ocean, apparently. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5ZXbrqPjKM Neddy Seagoon fucked around with this message at 11:48 on Apr 24, 2024 |

doomrider7 posted:Yes. Yes it does. Sleepy Princess almost immediately devolves into a case of "I'm not trapped in here with you, you're all trapped in here with me" and is utterly amazing for how the castle's denizens suffer in their supposed prisoner's continuous quest for a good night's sleep.
