Chas McGill posted:There are some great fight scenes in the second season. Birdy is cool. It was more stuff like Ripping a dude's goddamn arm off and pulping him into the loving wall. Nevermind the first episode starting with blowing holes in security guards and crushing heads barely two minutes in.

ninjewtsu posted:if you just want a series of cool fights and don't care too much about anything else, gundam build fighters has very good fights. you don't need to have seen other gundam shows to enjoy it (there are some pretty cool nods to gundam if you're familiar witht he franchise but nothing really improtant). do note that it's not representative of the larger gundam franchise pretty much at all. Ehhh I'd recommend seeing a "proper" Gundam series first before Build Fighters, any of them, just because half the fun is recognising the neat custom kits. Iron Blood Orphans or Gundam 00 are both fantastic Gundam series worth watching in that regard.

ufarn posted:So, Evangelion. It seems like there are more version of the series than the original Star Wars, so where should I start, and what possible remasters might be released in the future? I've got a Blu-ray player, and I live in Europe, for what it's worth - and iTunes for TV isn't available here. You want the Platinum Edition of the TV series. It remasters all the video and audio, and adds new footage to a few later episodes (like 10+ minutes worth, not just a few blink-and-miss-it bits).

Srice posted:There's so much money lying on the table that the original series and EoE will be license rescued at some point, but until then there's no shame in pirating the blurays. I'm really surprised NGE hasn't gotten a Blu-Ray release in recent years, especially with the Rebuild Movies coming out.

DamnGlitch posted:There are two episodes that have directors cuts, eps 23 and 24 I think. 23 especially has some pretty profound additions and is the version your should watch. One of them has about 5-10 minutes of extra content, the other is nearly double the runtime of a regular episode.

I assume you're all not mentioning Cowboy Bebop's dub because it's so good it didn't need mentioning?  AlternateNu posted:PSWG is one of only four shows I feel are better with the English dub. It is basically an Adult Swim show that just happened to be written and animated in Japan. The Japanese dub gets away with half it's own poo poo by skirting the regulations through putting the more... colourful... lines in english, along with a lot of text. The Japanese version is downright polite compared to the English dub. Japanese https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9z9IQ14CSY&t=30s English https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lfmv7ZBpbAI

Drifter posted:I just finished watching Prison School and thought that it was pretty amusing. The super big-titted vice-president girl was kinda overkill as far as the fanservice went, but I thought everything else was pretty fun. Funny story; there's a live-action series of Prison School  .

ufarn posted:How much better is the Blu-ray version of End of Evangelion? I've searched and searched, and I can't for the life of me find it in any shape nor form (in Europe/Region 2). Even the DVD is hard enough to track down as it is, but at least you couldn't be mislead to think it doesn't exist. Then original Neon Genesis Evangelion doesnt have a Blu-Ray release outside Japan in any form iirc. Only the Rebuild movies do.

Shageletic posted:I've gone through the wiki, and still going through the last ten pages of this thread, but still need to find something I can stream on Netflix, Amazon, or Hulu that is relatively new. Erased Paranoia Agent (hell, anything by Satoshi Kon in general) Serial Experiments Lain Boogiepop Phantom Ghost in the Shell. Any of it, but the original movie or Stand Alone Complex are good starting places. Psycho-Pass Steins;Gate. Watch the dub, it's fantastic.

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! Haibane Renmei.

RabidWeasel posted:It's worth noting that the 2nd season is way darker than the first. It's more of a constant barrage of "nature is going to gently caress you up and your life is insignificant but you can reach a state of enlightenment where this doesn't bother you". Not that the 1st season is sunshine and rainbows but it seemed as though there were fewer happy endings in the 2nd season. Though if you're OK with that I'd argue that it's even better than the first (and better still if you enjoy experiencing the ineffable tragedy of the human condition). What really stunned me in season 2 was Ginko is usually the first to try and strike a balance between humans and Mushi (where most Mushi-shi exterminate Mushi when they cause trouble for humans), and yet seeing that that one guy was chopping off women's heads so his plant-born daughter could use their bodies for many many years now just made him kick a lantern over to burn the motherfucker's house down without saying a word.

I didn't enjoy season 2 as much because it's more low-key than the Ryunka turning thousands of people to salt, and never escalates beyond "stop the criminals in hiding" but it is indeed some fantastic character-driven sci-fi.

Megachile posted:I had a couple of years where I watched a bunch of anime and had a list of things I thought were really incredible from the medium. But for whatever reason I haven't watched anything new (other than Mushishi S2 and new Ghibli films) in a few years, and presumably there's a bunch of great new stuff out there. Shame on all of you for no-one recommending Erased .

EGSunBro posted:So I watched Flying Witch with a friend recently. He loved it but he's very new to anime, with that being his third ever, and he asked me if I knew any more slice of life shows that were completely about normal life and normal problems. I know of a couple such as Shirobako but they weren't quite what he was looking for. He wants a show about adults dealing with mundane relationship drama in a totally realistic world, he said he's trying to find the "mumble core" of anime. Welcome to the NHK  .

Davincie posted:i've got no idea and having that part of the plot pretty much only make sense if you read the back of the dvd was retarded To be mildly fair, you can at least tell something is not right with the world throughout the series due to the rust metal stanchions protruding from the ground and supporting every clifftop mesa, but that magic hourglass is just a complete disconnect from anything relative the show all you can do is  .

Sakurazuka posted:Higurashi definitely, maybe check out Another and Shiki. The main-plot episodes of Boogiepop aren't great, but the standalone ones are some amazing examples of hosed-up psychological horror. I really need to sit down and give Lain another go too, because I've seen the first maybe two episodes and found it a shade too slow to enjoy.
