Captain Invictus posted:I bet this series that popped up in the rotation recently on kissmanga handles its subject very well and not incredibly offensively, especially with a seventh chapter simply titled "Japs" i mean, it's hard to stop producing manga with ridiculous premises when there are thousands of individual manga authors deciding to make them

casshern sins digimon: our war game one piece: the island of baron omatsuri samurai champloo kemonozume jojo's bizarre adventure the ova (mostly episodes 5&6) one-punch man symphogear is a show full of absolutely loving hilariously amazingly over-the-top, legitimately good and fun action stuff but most of it comes in after the first four episodes and it doesn't quite pass the "no moe or fanservice" qualification. i still recommend it though because even if you don't like those first four episodes, immediately after episode 4 it becomes this upward spiral of insane plot developments and explosive chaos and the second season of the show has one of the greatest villains of all time

Torquemadras posted:I've never seen any Macross so far! (Apparently it has a... singing shtick? What? WHAT?) macross and macross plus have idol singers as key parts of the plot, in macross' case because its plot focuses around culture and how it affects the invading giant alien race and gives them something to hold in common with humanity that ultimately brings the two groups together. the pilots themselves don't sing quote:Speaking of singing shtick you shouldn't feel shameful about watching fun things. do keep in mind though, the first four episodes are completely different in tone from the rest and much lighter on action of that same ridiculously fast style. the end of episode 4 is where it starts to get amazing Darth Walrus posted:Expect ridiculous high camp, not logical character behaviour or plot progression. This is a show with lines like 'I neutralised the explosion with a martial-arts technique' and 'now adjusting K2 to status of world's third-highest mountain' where characters surf on swords, suplex space shuttles, and punch the everloving poo poo out of the moon. It isn't hiding a clever little coming-of-age story behind its ridiculous bombast like Kyosougiga or FLCL, it's pure anime B-movie, and while it is pretty lovable, that's what you'd have to be prepared to love it for. Nick Creamer's ANN reviews are a decent primer. what is reading reviews of the series going to do to make them more enjoyable if you're already going in knowing what to expect

all the stuff with kaiki owned and he's one of my favorite characters in the series, but i don't think it's an overstatement to say that nise spent way more time on the fanservicy aspects than any other season also don't worry torquemadras, if you're uncomfortable with it, outside of the designs for the symphogear armor i don't think there's actually a lot of fanservice in symphogear. there are some odd bits in the earlier half of season 1 that might weird you out a bit, but they're really short and it never really approaches anything like that again The Colonel fucked around with this message at 22:40 on Feb 29, 2016 |

Davincie posted:right, what order do i actually watch Kyousougiga in? there's a bunch of ovas and stuff but apparently they are also partly included in the tv show? just watch the show. the ovas are pretty much just proof of concept without any real story established, and the ".5" episodes are just additional material exploring the cultural references in the show and, iirc, the characters commentating over the story

Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei. There's even one whole episode that's just the animators messing around with different styles of animation. Tenamonya Voyagers, from the same director as Monogatari, is an old ova that might also fit. I'd recommend Birdy the Mighty: Decode, but it only really does anything like that in the last episode, though the style it has is already pretty unusual and cool-looking. Kyousougiga might also fit, it doesn't experiment with different styles much but it does have interesting direction and surreal, beautiful visuals, but that might just be me wanting to take any opportunity to recommend Kyousougiga to everyone on Earth.

Oh yeah, it might also be worth giving Kino's Journey a look. It's a pretty surreal, philosophical anime with a pretty dreamlike presentation and it often ties the themes of an episode into how it's directed.

Space Dandy is a huge bag of different stories featuring the same cast of characters from different directors and some of the episodes are absolutely what you're looking for, also. Most of them lean on the side of fun space comedy stuff, though, so be ready if you give it a look.

birdy the mighty decode season 1 is alright, but it's really worth watching for season 2, which is imo one of the loving coolest character driven sci-fi stories ever. and bubblegum crisis is really awesome, too you could also watch dirty pair, which is about a pair of space cops fighting crime in space and on alien planets. i really love space dandy but i can understand why you'd drop it if you're looking for a space adventure thing, since it's really more of a showcase for a huge mishmash of directors making their own individual stories featuring the same cast of characters

Kyousougiga is largely an emotional thing for me, I'm able to forgive all of the flaws it has because it's a story that consistently hits me really hard. If it didn't click with you, well, then, I guess that's that. Nothing left to say. Other than You're Freakin' Dead Punk!!!!
