I need to watch more of this but it's pretty good in an older anime kind of way. Maybe someday read the manga.

The anime starts veering away from the manga starting at episode 21, and I recommend switching to the manga at that point. The anime original stuff is really bad. The only issue is that its really hard to keep track of characters in the manga because they all look nearly identical aside from their hairstyle.

Speaking of old anime that once commanded acclaim only to be forgotten, what is the community opinion on Scryed? I saw it won AOTY in 2001 (according to 2ch/5ch?) but I've never heard anything about it, which is weird because a number of other highly-acclaimed anime from that period are still talked about to this day.

the animation is sort of bad for the most part, but the voice acting makes it transcendent. i rewatch it every few years.

AOTY in 2001 doesn't mean a whole lot though if you look at the list of tv anime that ended that year, its competition is like...noir and the old fruits basket anime? like all the big shows you'd think of from that era are in 2002

I miss Bodacious Space Pirates. I wish people still talked about it, I wish there was another season, and I wish it was still available to stream on Crunchyroll.

Well thanks to this, I'm going to resume watching. I got like 3/4 episodes in, but got distracted by new season shows, it's been languishing on my "watching" list for a while.

bodacious space pirates had a very very bad movie that seems to have killed most of the good will for the seriesTales of Woe posted:i just finished this one a couple days ago and it was good! has some interesting ideas about shonen-style rivalries and the final episode was tremendous. scryed has some cheap animation in spots but it honestly looks nicer than people give it credit for in others. it also has a really great cast and a pretty good exploration of the shonen rival dynamic, and at 26 episodes it has enough room to breathe but gets in and out before it wears out its welcome. its the definition of an anime in the 7/10-8/10 range imo, not mindblowing but very solid with a few neat ideas.

scryed has a character named straight cougar, and he basically steals the entire show

My buddy had shown me Legend of Koizumi ages ago and I loved it. It's a crime it only ever got 3 episodes and it's nowhere easy to find. I think I found a random clip on YouTube and that was about it. Seriously, world leaders playing Mahjong like it's YuGiOh to solve political problems is an excellent and hilarious idea.

Every so often I come in here to see if there's a thread on a show I like. There generally isn't so I assume it's not popular among goons and leave. My most recentish example is no one seem to talk about Takahashi's stuff post Inuyasha, and while I thought Rin-ne sucked, I'm all in on Mao even though it's mostly a remix of her particular cliches. And old anime wise I loved the poo poo out of Ghost Sweeper Mikami, but fully recognize it too is early 90s comedy comfort food and there's probably a reason Toei put it up for free on their YouTube channel. Still had a neat little two episode time travel arc. It goes with out saying too that Kenny Lauderdale's YouTube channel is like crack to me. God, I love his dives into the obscure and old series. Edit: Forgot to state my point that yeah no one talks about old series because they are old, and most of them barely made it to the west. Which is a shame, but what can you do?

radio city fantasy is an 80s music video ova with in between scenes written by up and coming writer takeshi shudo exploring the relationship between a young artist who sees wonder and mystery in the world around him and a realist young woman who smokes  takeshi shudo would go on to write much of the early pokemon anime and also dancouga nova, a 2007 mecha anime starring a hotblooded lesbian race car driver who nearly bangs the team's lonely bisexual mechanic. dancouga nova was cut short to 12 episodes despite having a clearly longer story planned out so it abruptly ends with one of the greatest conclusions to a low budget mecha anime ever created The Colonel fucked around with this message at 19:14 on Aug 22, 2022 |

You can always make a thread about whatever Hyper specific series you want to discuss or talk about or gush over, worst case it doesn't get much discussion but convinces a couple of people to check it out, best case you get a bunch of conversations about various aspects and tangential topics going while also convincing people to check it out. A more recent example would be the Ranma 1/2 thread, and there was a similar thing with an anti goblin Slayer joke thread the just became a thread about beloved classic Slayers.

I’m pretty sure the point is about being mad that a work you personally think is the tits doesn’t get the appreciation it deserves over some lame show you don’t like. Like I loved Book of Bantora, but literally no one but me ever watched it and it’s completely forgotten while crap like [your favorite anime] sells millions.

[your favorite anime] isn't crap. I mean, it's not as good as the director's previous work, [pretentious and obscure anime original] but it has some pretty fun scenes with [primary love interest] and [controversial protagonist] has some personality to him, unlike what you'd expect from his archetype. I just wish we got more time with [comedy side character]. She had some real potential, you know?

Turbinosamente posted:I had considered a thread, but I am pretty terrible at writing OPs. I am also a terrible Takahashi fan. Speaking from experience? Just go for it. Take some other random thread as a baseline example for the OP, replace the words that don't fit, toss in some pictures from the official website or a fanpage if there's nothing else, and then edit when people point out problems. It's easier than it looks.

Ironically I find myself hanging out ADRW the most since it seems to (lately) need the least amount of mod intervention out of all the subforums Off-topic: Just started watching Nana and god-drat it's good. Definetly another classic that doesn't get enough love; I've forgotten how much more space old shows have to just let characters develop, instead of the speedrun-esque style approach that most modern one season shows take nowadays. On-topic: make the thread OP.

It does suck when you finish a series and the cultural conversation has moved on/never started. I’m very sympathetic to that.

I try to get people to watch Read Or Die and ROD The TV (the dub for the latter in particular because it's great), but no takers. It was the first OVA and series I bought, with my high school part time job money back in the DVD days, and I still throw the CDs for the OST in my car from time to time.

OAV and TV are really good, though TY is very much a different type of good than the ROD OAV. Shame about the actual light novels and the Read of Die manga being bleah and the attempted relaunch of the manga being just super bad

Sometimes good anime just falls out of syndication and only exists as dead media. My favorite anime was Katanagatari and it just doesn't exist on any streaming landscape so I'll never speak to anyone in the wild about it ever.

The age of high effort thread ops died with zorak just say what a show is, a brief bit about what it’s about and maybe why you like it. Even I have made threads before.
