Lol we must have pretty much the same tastes man. Claymore was the first anime i watched since i was a kid (and then i only saw Akira). Then i saw most of those on your list.

You might like Monster, Ghost in a Shell, Blood +

There's also another 2 series anime with a character like the main one from Death Note, and in this anime he hides under the name Zero and wages war against the state. It's full of great situations that make u LOL because you know how much of a head fuck the character is in, even tho it's a serious anime.

EDIT: I tink it;s called Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion

post about your fav animes ITT

I like tantei opera milky holmes, they solve crimes and shit
yea also heres a REALLY cool(imo) mostly action anime but its beyond 'serious' tho with some legend-style exaggeration, called shigurui


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0geiODQeyY&feature=player_embedded
the op roughlty demonstrates its tone. its a 100% straight up samurai show, extremely brutal and gory and everything. basically berserk or whatevers normally considered brutal has nothing on it, its straight up guro, a guy's head gets bahsed in with a rock and they actyually animated it. the whole thing. like soemthing youd see on rotten.com ro something. it also has a homo samurai jerking off. and more stuff.



but on the other hand it watches like a drama and becuase of all teh brutal shit going on you start to feel sorry for all the characters. ends kind of abruplty o na cliffhanger, closign the main plotline but leaving the 'storytelling' plotline opned. basically i liked it a whole lot but i doubt youd like its slow pacing and over all seriousness and gore and stuff but who kn ows so ill just mention it.
Title: Re: THE anime thread
Post by: Bjarky on January 17, 2011, 12:27:44 am
yep, seen it when it came out 2007, got sucked in instantly with the first episode, truly awsome style, not because it's gory, but because it has alot of detail to the moment in each scene, don't know how to describe it in proper english  :D
also there's this total samurai feeling/mentality through the whole series, just love it.
So if you like real samurai movies from jap, you probably like this one too.
just a shame that it only has 12 episodes...

I barely seen any anime at all so hoping you can give me advice on which ones I would like.

I used to like dbz as a kid but childess/corny anime like dbz and naruto which is totally cliche and trys to be funny is a no no. I've yet to find any anime funny, must have a different sense of humour.

more serious, dark anime like death note is more my thing. I just started watching beserk which is also good. has an awesome dark art style but the quality of animation is bad. I seen the first ghost in the shell film, loved it, should I watch the anime or is it the same story?

I got into bleach because my housemates love it.  but it seemed to get a worse so I stopped watching after first 3 seasons. bleach is ok, mix of good and bad anime I described above. I did laugh a couple of times in ~50 episodes, but I still think I prefer anime that doesn't attempt humour. (oh and there was pretty major plot holes imo)

so based on my anime experience/opinions above, tell me what you think I would like! also say whether dub or sub. I been sticking to sub since most people say sub, but I do prefer dub if its decent, like berserk Im watching dub since its decent. anime can be quite slow pace and string out the story battles (one of the main things I dislike about it), so its nice to be able to alt tab and listen to what they are saying when its filler, flashback or some other lame way anime likes to draw out a story into 300 episodes :/

sorry for wall of text.

-Higurashi No Naku Koro ni. It's a mystery and gore themed school-life about several young teenagers/kids.  2 seasons. Both 24 episodes each.
It tend to be overall cute themed, But then the murders happen.

I do recommend it.

Here...I'd say the best animated cartoon I've followed was the Justice League/Justice League Unlimited series. However, I should note that I'm something of a comic book fan, so...

After that, I'd say Teen Titans, Invader Zim, Static Shock, Dexter's Laboratory, X-Men Evolution, The Boondocks, Archer, and The Batman.

I highly recommend South Park, since it's also a good look into American culture. At least this for this generation.

That's bullshit on two counts.
One: Animes are mostly NOT for adults. Could you imagine your dad watching Berserk? And that's among the most 'acceptable': there are few (intended to be) funny comic reliefs, deformed faces, etc. OK, there are a few serious ones, like Ghost In The Shell, but mostly, they are made either for kids or teens. The fact that some 20-30somethings watch these doesn't make the shows any more mature.

Two: You obviously don't know what you're talking about. There are quite a few shows mainly for adults. Check out Mission Hill (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qr9HPoPUwnE) for example. Or Spawn (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xyp4SdVUjuI).

why only for kids, MOTTAINAI!
i think west has a great SF and FANTASY stories. I love The Lord of the Rings, Der Kreis der Dämmerung, Flowers for Algernon, Border Guards, Dragonlance and Marazan Book of The Fallen.
should make those anime for the kids and adults or only adults. Those will be absolutely interesting.

well since i didnt claim to be an expert and we're all offering our opinions i think you should tone it down a bit mate

I know, there's He-Man and things like that from my childhood, but seriously. Nothing worth mentioning in the past 20 years or so.

The closest I've seen to professional western fantasy animation was the cutscenes from the Myth series:

Untrue. Take YYH for example. That show is unoriginal and shitty. Now check this:

The English dub sounds awesome, making the series a whole lot better than it was. As far as I know, the text was altered as well - more jokes, casual style, etc. I would have never watched this without the dub.

My 7 year old likes animes from Hayao Miyazaki - I liked them as a kid too.  As an adult you may like movies like Fight CLub.  Try that one.  It's not a cartoon or an anime but it's for big boys right.  Give it a try.

LOL - you guys - there are trolls on this forum.  Get over it.  I think perhaps people can be a little oversensitive. 

All joking aside I do like the works of Goro Miyazaki if you guys consider that anime.  Loved it as a kid, still watch it as an adult.  But it's not something I would rent and watch myself really I guess.  My kids like it now and I watch it with them.  I enjoyed watching half of Tales of Earthsea last night, it was so long I fell asleep.  Great animation and a decent story.

Can someone explain to me what is so good about gintama and the overall plot?
hmm thats a though one, since there's no fixed single plot :D
here's a little info:
Sakata Gintoki is a samurai living in an era when samurais are no longer needed (forcefully retired by aliens). To add to his troubles, oppressive aliens have moved in to invade (this takes place before the anime's timeline). Gintoki lives with Kagura and Shinpachi, taking on odd jobs to make the world a better place…and to pay their rent.

generaly Gintoki is an lazy ass retired samurai, who is always broke, also thanks to kagura who eats like 100 garfields ^^
the anime usually derails to some comical stories with spoofs from other animes blended in, wich are hilarious.
the story takes a serious turn too thou, it changes from serious to comical alot of times with different stories wich always are based around the odd jobs the group is taking.
When you see the first episode u will usually be a little confused about what this anime is about, but give it some time, see some more episodes and u get the general plot somehow.

i like this anime very much because it always changes and not always goes on about an highscholl story or something else what get replayed all the time within most mainstream anime's.
+ the jokes and spoofs are epic if u have seen alot of anime before that  :mrgreen:

since it was said before western animation is not as good

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iysdpCL58w0&feature=related

1977 animated the hobbit film

its pretty old school, but amazing, better than most anime

its actually way older than berserk which is surprising since berserk animation is way worse quality. the only way the hobbit really shows its age is the corny music ;) which sounds more like 1940s when it was written I suppose.

enjoy and remember the hobbit was more of a childrens book than lord of the rings.

I also watched samurai champloo a while back it was actually not too bad for a comedy anime, and the characters were actually likeable for a change.

seems like animes aren't great at tying up the loose ends at all, the end of berserk/shigurui kind of

Reviving this thead, with a suggestion to watch the new show Steins;gate  8-)
I recently started watching it. Up to the 18 episodes. Haven't touched the newest one yet.
I generally don't like to watch shows that are airing currently. Since I prefer to download a pack of all episodes instead of having to wait for a new episode all the time.

But Steins;Gate is really good and probably one of the better ones this year.

Exactly how I feel about it. Sometimes it feels so weird to be in some forum and just discover that you don't know anything about anime and "everyone else" is talking about it. I don't hate it, but I don't think it is anything too special.

every anime is better with the original voice over, english dub just ruins the anime, as one of my friends said, the japanese voice it over like it's a movie, the americans like it's a cartoon, of course some of the older animes have pretty good english dub, how i originally saw them, though i would prefer to watch even those in japanese, jin roh is a great anime aswell...

There is pretty much two things that are different from Japan and US/Europe. In terms of anime.

Starting off ;

In Japan are voice actors being idolized and some are really famous(Norio Wakamoto, Kana hanazawa, Yu kobayashi, etc) while in the US/Europe voice actors are nothing special.


But the biggest issue is : Money.
Take for example Blizzard games(WoW, Starcraft, etc) They all have pretty much top notch voice acting(And good quality)
This is due to Blizzard having quite alot of money.

The companies that translate/dub anime? They are all minor companies that can't afford good equipment nor voice actors.
Neither do they gain alot of money by translating/dubbing anime, since it isn't really that popular here.

While in Japan anime is a big product.
The producers get alot of money by doing anime, and thus can afford(and want) better equipment/voice actors since they'll get more money that way.

So after practically exhausting the western cyberpunk and sci-fi genre I'm turning to some anime, mainly out of boredom and to see if I could get in to it.

So far the only anime I've wathced is Cowboy Bebop and some sci-fi/cyberpunk movie which name I don't recall because I watched it like 7 years ago.

Anyway, recommend me some good cyberpunk/sci-fi anime. Movies or series, I don't care. No silly anime stuff, though, please.  Like realistic, dark, but not excessively so. But if it's really good, and doesn't quite match my criteria then feel free to suggest anyway, I'll take a look at it.

There's literally nothing else interesting for me to watch. And it's raining outside.

don't know if these fit into ur catagory.
Samurai Champloo (name says it all, apart from that, good anime, nice tunes 8-) )
Gintama (scifi samurai story, u could say cyberpunk, but i'm not sure about what the genre is about^^, the anime is about odd jobs with a lazy main char "Gin-san", there are alot of spoofs about other anime's and it can get quite silly, but it's fun cus they use alot of original ways to do it with, not the usual schoolgirl tralala anime with the same comedic stuff all over blabla ^^ but yeh u have to see a couple eps before knowing what it is)

Stopping in to say Hellsing and Hellsing: Ultimate.

Heck yes.

I love how the two series are totally different, the TV show had an amazing atmosphere, so cool and laid back.
Also the excessive use of the colour red was just pure win. The soundtrack was just.. the best anime soundtrack ever, perhaps?

Sounds like I'm biased, but that's what I feel ever since I watched that TV show 2 years ago. For what it lacks in the story and "making sense" parts, it gives back with the feel and atmosphere of the entire series. Incognito is still a big WTF to me though.


The Ultimate series is a lot more serious, (It has it's own funny moments, though) and follows the comics a lot more. Sadly the atmosphere and the music is not as good as the TV Serie's, but again, the Villains, especially the Major's crazy character makes up for it. He's one of the coolest villains I've seen.

it was pretty interesting until it went all dragonball z. the OVA looks better animated and I didn't realise it was the SAME story or I would have prolly watched it first, now I cant be arsed since it does seem exactly the same.

Title: Re: THE anime thread
Post by: Remy on October 26, 2011, 08:51:33 pm
It is not the same story.  :P

The first anime series of Hellsing deviates completely from the manga and so forth.

The OVA follows the story of said source much closer and apart from the start is very different. Plus "Ze Captain" actually shows up, along with several other fun characters.

Yeah, blame this on the character Incognito and their impatience. They had to release some filler crap because the comic was still in progress then, iirc.

Still, the TV show had an amazing atmosphere, and such a cool funky soundtrack. I enjoyed it really.
Title: Re: THE anime thread
Post by: Fraemi on October 26, 2011, 11:46:06 pm
I've seen half a dozen or so animes, generally I touch series if I'm somewhat sure I'll enjoy it.
I'm really not into the more "dbz"part of anime, unrealistic combat/w.e parts are fine but there is a small step from stylish to "power level" obsessed dick waggling contest of plot devices.

If I'd have to make recommendations which hadn't been made a hundred times already:

"Akagi". The anime revolves around Akagi (hoho) Shigeru who is one of the most interesting protagonists in the animes I've seen. The story revolves mainly around his exploits into the underworld gambling and his dealings with yakuza in the post-ww2, dark side of Japan. The story kept me interested at all times and the games of mahjong were unexpectedly very entertaining. The strong points are easily a very solid storyline and an unique, unlikely protagonist.
A warning needs to be said though: you do need a healthy dose of patience, good taste and attention for it. Initially I had a few problems with the art style, but after I while it kind of grew on me and it actually fits the theme quite well.
It also has pretty neat OPs and EDs, really loved them.

"Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei" series. It's a peculiar comedy anime about a charismatic, depressed high school teacher and all his fellow misfits which conveniently happen to be his pupils. The anime is episodic and goes on about various random aspects of life, society and Japan in general. It's very entertaining and I could probably recommend it anyone with a sense of humour, at least for a few episodes to see if you like it. I have a bit hard time describing the show well, the wiki article probably does it better. Very entertaining, "light" material which doesn't take anything too seriously. Stylish animation too. Guess a warning should be that it's rather Japanese-y and that somewhat decides how much you will like it.
Also happens to have great OPs and EDs, also very enjoyable.

Yeah, the fillers are terrible, if someone recommended some anime to me, naruto shippuden for instance, and it was a filler, i'd be put off, they should just put it on hold until they decide to continue with the story...

Nessaj, anime is an art my friend, there's nothing wrong with watching it, here's a few amv's...

Ninja Scroll (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpDO8hUwPA0&feature=fvst)

Genocyber (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXZ2bTigdGY)

Doomed Megalopolis (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8MiyW8SV0E)

Title: Re: THE anime thread
Post by: Bjord on January 06, 2012, 11:43:20 pm
It's not art, it's entertainment. There are differences.
 
For example, Naruto is crap while as Texhnolyze is deep, dystopic and downright(notice the triple alliteration, now that's art) mind-fuck incarnate.
 
Many people would probably drop it because its style is a bit depressing to try and comprehend. And the animations aren't grade A either, but that's not the point.

Watched almost all Bleach episodes and movies, my opinion - great anime, wroth watching. Dunno about Naruto, if it's crap or not, but if you ask me anything that teaches you about true life values is worth watching, so when I can I'll get some time and watch it.

Post by: okiN on January 07, 2012, 04:39:54 pm
I never watch anything with dubs if I can avoid it, be it animated or live-action, Japanese or whatever language. The actors just never seem to do the originals any justice, subs are the way to go and I'm glad the TV and movie people in this country understand that.

Naruto, though? Come on, now, you'll be recommending DBZ next.
Title: Re: THE anime thread

Title: Re: THE anime thread
Post by: Christo on January 07, 2012, 04:48:39 pm
Naruto Shippuden is a great anime

I was at my friend's place once, he watched like 3 episodes.

It was basically this:

2 guys standing in front of each other, typical zoom shots with moving camera, talking, talking, talking... for about 10 minutes
Then an emotional memory moment out of nowhere, another 5-10mins,
One starts the attack, but another "sad memory" moment happens, it's a quick one.

And just when the attacking character finally reaches the other one, the episode ends.

 :lol:

This pattern is just ridiculous.
(And I didn't even mention any fillers yet.)

FYI: I have nothing against telling a story, but a fighting sequence.. is a fighting sequence, damnit.
Title: Re: THE anime thread
Post by: Lizard_man on January 07, 2012, 04:51:56 pm
Yeah, this happens alot in anime series, i don't think Naruto is the only one, these work sometimes, but really we're all just waiting for the fights, there's usually alot of fillers and such, but again, i don't think Naruto is the only one, but it does have some great fights and storys, well done characters, has its sad and fun parts, overall, great anime, and i really enjoy it... :P
Title: Re: THE anime thread
Post by: Christo on January 07, 2012, 04:53:08 pm
Yeah it's pretty common.

Nothing bad about liking the series though. If you do, you do.  :)

It's just that I can't stand these cheap "ways" to make a series longer, and longer.

aka: Wasting time.
Title: Re: THE anime thread
Post by: Lizard_man on January 07, 2012, 05:01:12 pm
I completely agree, if someone said to me, watch this, Shippuden for example, and it was one of these episodes, i'd be completely put off by it, in some cases it's needed, i get that, but sometimes it's just ridiculous, a flashback in a flashback, what the fuck. It can go on like this for many episodes, which in turn become fillers. I can understand they don't want to catch up to the manga and they want to give something to fans, but in all seriousness, i'd rather them give me a date of when it will continue and just completely cut out all of this crap... :P
Title: Re: THE anime thread
Post by: Ninja_Khorin on January 07, 2012, 05:06:09 pm
This is my problem with anime in general(what little I've seen). You could easily cut them down to half their length. It doesn't make the show "deep" if the viewer is forced to reflect upon the animated face of the main character for 1 minute while he goes on in a monologue and then a 40min flashback followed by a 1 minute close up of the face again.

This is why I often lose interest in anime. In fact, the only anime series I've watched is Cowboy Bebop, which does a fair job in avoiding this. Seen a few movies, though. They were alright.

You dont like Dragonball Z but you like NARUTO?

What the hell is wrong with you?

Naruto is so fucking bad.

I mean, Ninjas, really?

THE FUCKING MAIN CHARACTER WEARS ORANGE CLOTHING AND CLAIMS TO BE A NINJA!

And he is a fucking shemale.

That show is so retarded, I´d rather have my children watch teletubbies before Naruto.

Dragonball Z had a lot of flaws, too, I dont deny that, but it was better than Naruto BY FAR.

Gosh.

Fucking Wizard Ninjas...

I mean in wich fucking period of time is Naruto settled anyway?The Buildings seem modern but everything else is like Medieval...Except for all the Ninjas having Sorcerer-like abilities.

And the ninetailed Fox...Oh god I could go on about that shit for hours.

I cant believe the retardation in that show.

Animes in general have weird story and stuff, but Naruto is OFF THE CHAIN man.

Garbage-working Ninjas with the ability to multiply themselves and grow tits and a cunt.

Shit man, now im already in ragemode.Gonna kick something around now.

If you haven't seen Sword of the Stranger and you like samurai ronin stuffz you should watch it, it has the best sword fights I've ever seen.

List in no particular order:
Afro Samurai
Sword of the Stranger
Ninja Scroll
Baccano! (Awesome 1930s mobster anime)
Appleseed was pretty cool, so was Spriggan (pretty much the same shit).
I liked Berserk, but the ending was a major disappointment.

In my opinion, if you play Mount & Blade and like anime, you should watch Berserk. It is pretty much an anime version of M&B with some added drama.

In my opinion, if you play Mount & Blade and like anime, you should watch Berserk. It is pretty much an anime version of M&B with some added drama.

No samurai champloo?

meh looks like pretty standard anime fight but live action/cgi.

If you haven't seen Sword of the Stranger and you like samurai ronin stuffz you should watch it, it has the best sword fights I've ever seen.


thanks for recommending sword of the stranger just watched it, its was fucking epic.

need more anime like that ;p
Title: Re: THE anime thread
Post by: Lizard_man on March 23, 2012, 04:56:59 pm
My point being, the actor is shit. Cgi is the worst thing to ever happen in films, it's fucking awful, plus it's a shit fight. I don't know what anime you've watched to call that a standard anime fight, but it's not. If you like Sword of the Stranger, for the style of anime at least, maybe watch Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade. Or give Kurozuka a try, there's not alot you can compare with Sword of the Stranger. Not that i can think of anyway...
Title: Re: THE anime thread
Post by: Darkkarma on March 23, 2012, 05:27:51 pm
For more like Sword of the stranger, you won't find too many.


I suppose you could give Seirei no Moribito a shot. The plot is vaguely similar to sword of the stranger and is actually based off of a pretty popular set of fantasy novels. The fight choreography is simply excellent and there is also heavy focus on individual character development. I'd even say the fighting takes a back seat to it.

It has  a touch of mysticism and spiritualism here and there, but nothing that would ruin the series.

On top of that, the protagonist is a female spear user, and this is just absolutely awesome. Adult swim dubbed it a while ago so you can probably even find it on Hulu or something. You should try and find the japanese dub though if you plan on watching it.  :)

yeah someone already recommended me moribito way earlier in this thread, it was decent not as good tho.

one thing with sword of the stranger was alot of anime series have some little kid we're expected to warm to and want to live but usually he's a fucking brat that I want him to die (ie. moribito, claymore etc.) whereas I did like the kid in sword, maybe just because he looked like link in windwaker.

Just watched Goku Midnight Eye, it seems very familiar so i've probably seen it when i was younger, very good old school anime. I've got some more cyberpunk stuff to watch that i definitely haven't seen, Parasite Dolls and Mardock Scramble, whether these are any good or not, i shall find out. I've also had Neo Tokyo for a while aswell, need to watch that at some point...

(click to show/hide)

Edit:

Parasite Dolls is also very good, has some very nice animation at times, but that's also down to personal taste. It seems it's also related to A.D. Police, definitely worth watching. Altough it was released in 2003, it has more of an old school look and feel, which i definitely prefer...

kurozuka... manI kind of liked it at first, it seemed original. and then when it cut to future it was a cool twist. I forced myself to watch all of it...

however in the end it was just another generic over-top stupid anime (think girlchan), and the story made fuck all sense.

But Legend of the Galactic Heroes does stand for it self, there are very few anime's like this one.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIpILgkjpVw&feature=relmfu (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIpILgkjpVw&feature=relmfu)

Great soundtrack,a pretty decent/interesting plot and rather stunning visuals. I'd give it a solid 8-9.

You probably won't become too attached to any characters and I honestly wish they'd taken an episode or two to give more back story on all of the central characters and how they intertwine with one another, as it's all thrown at you rather quickly. Still a great anime over all!

Id strongly recommend Gundam Unicorn to anyone who hasn't seen it yet and is a Gundam fan.

It's a Seven Part OVA series taking place in the Universal Century time line several years after the events of Char's Counter Attack.

The story is great, if not a bit rushed (It is an OVA series after all)  and the animation and dialogue are both amazing.

Also, anyone who has been following the other gundam series in the same timeline will be very pleased to see a great variety of familiar mobile suits and characters from the previous series (with the aforementioned mobile suits often doing battle with one another in scenes where the central characters/pilots arent even present). They also don't hesitate to kill off central characters, which is great.

The first of the next two episodes wont even be dropped until soemtime in spring 2013, so enjoy the first five! You'll more than likely end up sitting on pins and needles waiting for six to drop  :mrgreen:

I have the original series on DVD, probably the only anime I actually own but I didn't realize there were movies. They probably focus on the Golden Arc because it's the most 'relatable'; dealing with personal ambition and their affect on relationship, overcoming inner (and outer) demons, existential nausea, etc. From what I read of the mangas the before and after arcs are more or less just bat shit insane. Did the author even finish the manga or is it ongoing?

Still ongoing and crazier than ever. Golden age was the best part of Berserk unfortunately, but its still awesome after the eclipse. Manga is up to 333 chapters atm, but the writer aint fast in making them, only pops out a chapter every second or third month :(

This is where I admit I still watch Naruto even though every episode is 70% flashbacks and 30% gay friendship power talks. But that's just mainstream animes for you. Though One Piece does stand out there, very decent for a mainstream one.

The weeaaboo scoundrels of FCC convinced me to give Shingeki no Kyojin a shot. Ten episodes in, I'm hooked- and this is coming from someone with an inherent Shik-like prejudice against japanese stuff. I didn't include a trailer because I didn't find one that doesn't portray it as yet another action anime. It's good because it's got a riveting air of empathic fear to it that I rarely see in anime. Yes. It makes you care.

Also, some recommendations!

For the space / sci-fi interested;

I find it really good, and theres no mecha (which is a big + for me)

For the horror / mystery interested;
(click to show/hide)
Story spans over several arcs, so even though it starts with them being kids, dont be put off. Seriously, just watch it  8-)

Just watched it, best one so far and apparently they are going to keep going past the golden age (love it). This will have some great potential depending on how far they are willing to animate it :D

Going to give this one a go I think.

Btw, I've been hearing about Berserk from my friend as well, but know nothing about it. Why is it good? Because of the violence?

the story i would say, its just epic, the style is pretty good as well, the whole medieval scenario really fits well.
give it a try, i dont think anyone here playing crpg will regret watching Berserk, it is just to much up in the same ally for a good while  :twisted:

Gore, epic story, great medieval setting. If you watch berserk id say the anime is better, my opinion though but it has WAY better music than the recently released movies.

I would watch the show first, then the movies. I find the movies very good but a bit rushed, I'm not sure I would be able to follow the story properly if I hadnt watched the show beforehand  :P

Berserk - golden age, is turning out to be a badass anime... I'm halfway through II.


On another note, this is a western Graphic Novel rather than an anime, but the "Preacher" series by Garth Ennis is fucking top notch.

Or How about RWBY (http://roosterteeth.com/archive/?id=7872&v=more)?

Bump. Just started reading the Berserk manga, since my friends told me that the anime is pretty censured and only contains part of the story. This will be my first manga 8-)
So far it seems pretty cool.

Thread must live, i recommend Mushishi, it just got a second season going and its amazing. Hard to describe what its about but its really relaxing to watch and still very exciting. Every episode is sort of a new story with fairly little connection to the previous one but still keeps you watching.
I just love the way the stories are told and how the fantasy part isnt overwhelming but still there. Probably one of my top 3 animes. Go watch it now.
Title: Re: THE anime thread

I recommand

Plague Dogs,

you can watch it on youtube here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBxfOvx7QmU

and watership down :


Both are not really for childs, or maybe as their first horror movie  :mrgreen:


Title: Re: THE anime thread
Post by: Vibe on May 22, 2014, 11:40:05 pm
Lately seen:
Code Geass (incredible series, fantastic ending)
Baccano (also awesome)
Another (so-so horror-ish anime)
Neon Genesis Evangelion (not a bad anime, imo a bit overrated, super wtf ending)

Currently watching:
FMA:Brotherhood (I've seen original FMA before, but people say FMA:Brotherhood is much better)
One Piece
JoJo's Bizzare Adventure (super manly and super gay)

Mushishi is definitely planned for me, heard about it before.
 8-)
Title: Re: THE anime thread
Post by: Eddy on May 22, 2014, 11:56:49 pm
Code Geass (incredible series, fantastic ending)

I love it and rewatched it atleast ~3 times, there are also two movies but without Lelouch  :|
FMA:Brotherhood (I've seen original FMA before, but people say FMA:Brotherhood is much better)

Well, depends on your taste. The original FMA is more child friendly while Brotherhood is more leaned to the manga and because of that has way more emotion than the first season.

And Mushishi is realy undescribable, i dont know how i could describe it but to put it simple: Its a about a "normal" man helping people  :wink:

Last but not least i recommend you guys "no game no life" which is from the current season (started in april) and is atm at episode 7. Its (to put it short) about two NEETs (brother and sister) which are teleported to a world where everything is decided by games.

nobody cares but here is my list  ^_^
(click to show/hide)
but i really cant get why in most of anime 95% of characters are schoolchildern and if its not 95 - its like 2-3 characters. ofcourse even from those few animes i've seen - there are some exceptions.
so its pretty annoiyng to listen how kids are thinking and planning like they are 5-10 years older than they are. its also annoiyng when drama is trying to be simulated even when characters doesnt deserve a pity(I mean characters who... well just characters, nothing similar to the real person). its being simulated by mass input of dramatic content... idk how to explain it better. the best examples of such things (as for me) are Angel Beats and Sword Art Online(at least from the anime i've seen).

Pretty nice episode of Hunter X Hunter 131 today. I usually prefer manga, but this adaptation has blown it away.

There hasn't been too many shows that have piqued my interest this season. Knights of Sidonia was a surprise, and it's quite decent. No game no life I thought would suck, but it's an interesting take on applying game theory to situations while keeping things entertaining. Mushishi I need to get to some day.

One of my favorite anime that I have seen that's not well known has been Rainbow: Nisha Rokubou no Shichinin.
Synopsis:
Quote
Seven teenagers in 1955 have to learn to live together in the same hold in the reformatory of Shio. Confined in a hall where suffering and humiliation are daily, they are waiting for a ray of hope in a dark, incarcerating world. The story follows their life together and how they move on afterwards.
It skips a few parts of the manga, so a few characters like Soldier are underdeveloped, but it's a great watch.

Manga, there are more than I could count that I like.

ANIME CLAN BEST CLAN

Never been a huge anime-nurd but have always watched the popular stuff peripherally over the years, Bebop, NGE, Escaflowne, etc. Finished SNK/Attack on Titan (anime) a few months ago (I do comics but can't get into manga so I'll wait for the ova season 2 or whatever). KILL la KILL is awesome after you get over about the halfway mark where it drops the cliche school girl "you killed my father" bullshit. Started Gurren Lagann and it too has started off pretty slow/same old anime shit but hopefully it gets better.

I'm going to an anime convention in Portland, OR next month with Pollux for lulz, we're gunna cosplay Doctor Who

Glad to see someone else rating Monster that highly, and Kingdom too. That series really deserves more attention, kind of a hidden gem. Hopefully there will be a 3rd season. Judging from your list I think you would like these;

I've been wondering if Hunter x Hunter was worth getting into, I watched the old adaption and it was alright, but a 140 episode show is alot of commitment.. Is it worth it?  :P

I also watched it just a week ago, and i found it dissapointing. Half the time i would just passively watch because it got kinda boring. An ok watch i guess, but i expected more from what ive heard about it..

On the other hand i've also started watching JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, and it is truly amazing.

What was interesting to me about Darker Than Black is that they don't really give you that much background on what is going on, so you're left to figure it out for youself. The main char is basically a mistery as well as is his goal. I loved that about it. Fights are not overblown which is great as well. Dunno, guess different tastes.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is awesome, love the style, the characters, the fights. Can't say the same for the new JoJo though, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders - the whole new bussines with the Stands.. I found it very lame, they're like fucking pokemon or something.

I just finished watching Kaiji a week ago. It's a great series and imo a must watch. It's not just another gambling anime, it looks deeply into the weakness of the human psyche and tells a great story. The second season drags in the second half, but it was still very enjoyable.

@Vibe Stands never go away after this, but later seasons do it better than Stardust Crusaders. Stone Ocean and Steel Ball Run in particular I would love to see animated.

Finished watching Darker than Black and Tokyo Ghoul. Both were pretty amazing. Next up is Zankyou no Terror (Terror in Resonance) and Fate/Zero.
Title: Re: THE anime thread
Post by: Eddy on October 01, 2014, 09:55:03 pm
Uh, the anime of Tokyo Ghoul isn´t that good in my opinion, its missing out too much from the manga  :|

Darker than Black is simply amazing same with Zankyou no Terror. The only downer for me was the ending even though it was fitting but for some reason it felt unsatisfying  :)
Regarding Fate/Zero: did you watch Fate Stay Night already? The settings is after Fate/Zero but still i would watch it before it simply because it was release before Fate Stay Night (oh and dont worry its gonna be good :P im kind of a fanboy of it =)
Title: Re: THE anime thread

Finished watching the animu movie Redline (2009) for the second time now after like a year since last time. And will probably watch it again next year. Best anime movie ever by far, entire flick is a massive adrenaline rush with amazing animation quality, perfect character building for a movie like this and well plot being..
Basically a movie about this race called Redline, where the galaxies fastest racers compete in an all-allowed race. Insane speeds, weaponries and stuff just almost nonstop action with a bit of slower character building at some parts, just enough to make you care for the characters and love their personalities.

Holy fuck its good, makes me wet, dreaming of a video game pulling anything similar off, just slightly touching on the epicness would be enough.
Title: Re: THE anime thread
Post by: Vibe on December 23, 2014, 08:16:05 am
Yeah, I haven't watched Redline myself, but I've heard a lot of praise of it from my friends.
PS: If anyone wants a manga worth reading, read Berserk. It's fantastic, even though it's coming out at an extremely slow pace. Also be prepared to see some fucked up shit :D

That's because the story didn't stop, the anime just stopped. Shit goes full mental from that point (end of 3rd gold arc) and on.

one of the best anime the first original season there imo, they were some extremely badass fights, you'd really get shivers with that. then they changed it and now is shite compared to what was before; they even managed to make kurapika look like a badass there

To be fair that little self-contained arc/story is a nice exposition on ambition and relationship that ends in a surreal way and the rest of it is over-the-top japanese ridiculousness with fairies and witches and crap.

this song is like 6 fucking years old

but its pretty fucking anime, its some good shit i still listen to it to this day, anyone know any songs like this?
pretty much the only "anime" thing i like


Yeah thats touhou, originally (i believe) bullet hell games, but have throughout all their games switched styles quite a bit.. I played 6 which has top tier tracks, i think all the music is lyric-less though, but theres a shit ton of fan made stuff for touhou which i could never understand how it got started.

which touhou would you fuck?

Full metal panic, especially fumoffu. Episode 2 is just godlike, but if anyone is going to watch it, they should start with fmp first.

They dont sound outrageous when you dont understand them though. Eng dubs are a no-go, which few exceptions. Berskerk has a decent dub for example. Also it doesnt take that long to read, and whenever there is dialogue, nothing else goes on on-screen ever..

70-80% of people who watch anime on a regular basis. As long as you don´t suck at english, you get used to it very fast. You don´t miss a thing when reading subtitles, even in action scenes. And most of the dubs sadly suck ass :P Although the english version of FLCL and the german version of Hellsing (Alucards voice ftw) were pretty good...japanese voice actors put way more effort into their roles, you should try out japanese dubs. It may be a bit strange at the beginning, but as with the subtitles: you´ll get used to it

Is there a difference between fate stay night and fate zero? Cause I once tried out fate zero with some friends and we quit after the second episode because it was boring as fuck :P and I´m usually used to a lot of talk, like f.e. in Bakemonogatari

Fate Zero is the prequel of Fate/Stay Night. I haven't seen Fate Zero yet, but originally Fate/Stay Night was out first and then the prequel, so the 'correct' order of watching should be FSN -> Zero. Just do like me, I started with the new Fate/Stay Night (Unlimited Bladeworks), the unlimited budget really shows, fights are crazy good.

Look, it all boils down on your preference. If you wanna say that english dubs suck, then fine, I have the same opinion of japanese ones, apart from the fact I dont know why should I even consider watching it language I dont understand.

Was watching a top 10 anime worlds you don't want to live in from watch mojo and I saw on the list a zombie series, Highschool of the Dead.

It's nothing special, it has many boob/crotch shots and sadly there's only 1 season but I had fun watching it all at once. Has many cringe worthy scenes while still being gory.

Are there any more anime similar?

[Edit]

Found this anime, Gakkou Gurashi! Seems new. Only 6 episodes so far, and a new episode on thursday. I was shaking my head while watching the first episode since people said it's was in the apocalypse... It's art style is chibi and child like but the end of the episode.... Man, such a twist.

The first episode's ending sure made me say "What the fuck?" in real life. After watching a bit more episodes I'm finding it to be really interesting while also dark. I don't want to spoil anything if what I'm saying makes you curious.

Just hang on judgement on the first half of the first episode then you are shown it's true light. Also don't read any reviews or they will ruin the twist of the first episode. (Tough most reviews tell you to NOT read reviews lol)

This anime brings new things I never expected to work. Like putting hints here and there, that show you what is going on or what will happen in the future from the opening theme (Which changes with the series progression and there's only 7 episodes!) and/or end theme (Which also changes with the series progression). So, if you are looking for a post apocalypse anime to try that isn't like the walking dead, etc but more psychological (At least for now) check it out.

The Hype is real, Berserk lives, now if only vinland saga would become monthly we would saved. It's too sad how much manga goes left waiting. No matter what else this is a joyous occasion, and the chapter was eggcellent.

I have a hard time finding new good anime's/movies, maybe ive just kind of grown out of enjoying them outside of through a nostalgia perspective, otherwise they have to be really fucking good for me to like them (Redline redline redline).

So we watched Ninja scroll, great movie, shit series. Watch the movie and be done with it, its not really connected anyways. Very old style, very gorey, nudity, tons of ninjas and all that anime cheese.

The animatrix, its in english afaik, actually really good watch. Neat side stories or i guess stories of pre-trilogy of Matrix. Divided in i think 8? different mini-stories, about 10 minutes each, with different studios animating each, they explain what lead the humanities destruction or show how some get out of the simulation. One of the artstyles stood out to me this time, definitely made by the same studio as redline was, hell i think they even had the same english voice actor as for one of the characters. Love that.

And then Nausicaä of the valley of the wind, everyone shouldve seen this, everyone shouldve seen every studio ghibli movie, they are probably the most enjoyable anime movies for hardcore fans or just casual watchers alike.

I thought vinland saga is updated monthly? Or are just the translators behind so it gets update monthly, on the site i read it? =P

Need anime recommendations. Story can be pretty much about anything, as long it is good. Would like to be seinen manga based, if possible (not a fan of Naruto/DBZ/Bleach). Last thing I've seen is Parasyte anime and I liked it. Japs are weird in general, but something that is even more weird than their usual is always a plus. Also would prefer series instead of movies because it seems I've already seen all the good long ones.

So you want alternative. Yes veru gud. Gantz, Btoom, Baccano!/Durarara (Both were written by the same guy), Darker than Black, Hellsing, Blade of the Immortal, Black Lagoon. There's others I can't think about on the top of my head and you might want to take a look at Tokyo Ghoul, although the quality of the anime is so much lower than that of the Manga. Tokyo Ghoul has a very similar feel to parasyte and I'd recommend reading the manga. Almost forgot Claymore, ergo proxy are some goods ones too.

Yeah the npc that feel obliged to voice their hatred for humans at every given second has already worn me down. But the concept is quite refreshing and the plot is advancing nicely. The personalities probably drag the show down a bit but overall I think it's great so far.

Only new anime I'm watching besides *ehem* Monster Girls *ehem* is Gakkou Gurashi!.

You shouldn't read reviews on it (Some reviews even say to not read reviews lol) or you lose the twist. If you like or want to check out an anime in the zombie apocalypse check it out. First episode might seem weird but wait till the end and you will understand why. (There's also some hinting throughout the episode if you pay close attention)

I saw that and rather enjoyed it. While I'm sure I've missed some good anime in the past. I've watched a lot, more than I can remember at first. Which is the main reason I'm asking for newer anime. But if you know something good that really unknown then I might not have seen that also.

Gangsta is airing atm and its aight. Also if you havent watched Durarara!! its like if Guy Ritchie made anime. Baccano is pretty good too.

Also, Noir. (http://myanimelist.net/anime/272/Noir) Its a classic that was even played dubed on the German MTV. It aged well and is worth a watch. Great gunfights in that one.
Title: Re: THE anime thread
Post by: Voncrow on September 04, 2015, 07:12:23 pm
I've read all of the Gangsta Manga so far, still on the fence is the anime is worth watching on top of that. Durarara and Baccano! are two of my favorite anime. I'll have to look into this Noir one though. Although I saw they got out a third season of Durarara. Which has me anxious, the second season started out strong, but the ending seemed like a let down. I'm hoping the thrill isn't let down from the draw up like last season.

Ok, a little update after a while, waifu and I have been watching some serious anime and I'll try to recap

Parasyte: Loved it, Migi is the bestest
Tokyo Ghoul: Loved it, great animation, story, everything
Robotics;Notes: probably anime we enjoyed the most this summer, made us cheer at the end, got so involved with the protagonists
Terror in Resonance/Tokyo: shorter anime but really fun and enjoyable
Hyouka: feel good high school mystery anime, real fun
Guilty Crown: super confusing, you practically have no idea whats going on 20 episodes in the anime and it all climaxes in last 2, just when you think you start to understand some random shit happens that makes you be like WTF?! but really nice watch

Also revisited some classics like Hellsing OVA, Death Note and newer Attack on Titan, we also started D Gray man but was a bit too much.

We're starting Darker than Black now, I never finished it but was really fun so looking forward to it.

Yeah, I liked the kill first and avoid questions later Thorfinn a lot more. Also the great war and fight scenes are probably more of what brought people in and going in the peaceful Thorfinn direction would probably be bad for his current audience. Although right now it has my attention, and I'm interested to see how the current arc plays out.

Gonna keep reading obviously, it's still very good and I doubt they'll just be able to pull this off without Thorfinn touching anyone. But yeah, prologue was fucking excellent.

Forgot to say thanks for your suggestions. Been busy with western shows for awhile, rewatched Firefly for 20th time, in attempt to sanitize my brain after watching Dark Matter.

Now it is time for some anime. Took all suggestions in consideration but I'm in mood for some Japanese horror (best kind there is). Logen's suggestion is priority. But I found another show you guys didn't mention. Both shows are downloaded.

What to watch now, Shiki or Another?

Kinda feel bad seeing anime first if manga is top notch, useful info would be how good adaptation these shows are of their respective manga? Parasyte was perfect adaptation, after I finished watching seen manga as well and it is 100% accurate.

Shiki is a cool vampire story filled with interesting characters but goddamn is it intellectually insulting at times... haven't finished yet but moments when important characters completely ignore their previous discoveries and course of action which puts them in bad position can be infuriating. There must be a good reason for this at the end, otherwise is just dumb.

Also music and audio tracks are nice but tend to get repetitive fast.

Knights of the Zodiac manga were all over the place both in France and Brazil when I was younger, along with Dragonball Z stuff. Those were probably the most popular, but I'm sure other obscure stuff were also around. Especially in France the whole "comics" thing was always taken slightly more seriously than in say, USA, a lot more similar to Japan. The graphic novel was always a much more respected medium in the artistic sense, not perceived as only for children.

Horror in Japan continues, seen Elfen Lied for the first time. Great show, heavy on emotions and creates eerie atmosphere at times. Wouldn't classify it as horror (haven't seen any proper horror anime yet), it is far behind shows I've seen previously in that department. It's a decent sci-fi story though.

Currently watching Hellsing and while it has cool characters, don't understand why it is marketed towards mature audience (seinen)? Characters are cool and unique, British influence is refreshing but dear god, is this the most childish thing I've seen so far? Very western, very naive, finished fourth episode and there is zero depth to it. Hopefully it picks up and adds some horror elements because all this gore is fun to watch but there's zero horror attached to it. I strongly prefer darker, more serious stuff to watch and this show seems not to be taking itself seriously at all. Maybe that is the reason why it so popular?

Horror in Japan continues, seen Elfen Lied for the first time. Great show, heavy on emotions and creates eerie atmosphere at times. Wouldn't classify it as horror (haven't seen any proper horror anime yet), it is far behind shows I've seen previously in that department. It's a decent sci-fi story though.

Currently watching Hellsing and while it has cool characters, don't understand why it is marketed towards mature audience (seinen)?

Watch the OVA. The TV series was being done without the manga having fleshed out the story and basically dropped off once the manga turned darker with

But now that I think of it, if you are looking for a similarly serious show to Elfen Lied with a focus on relationships, you won't really find that in Hellsing. It's still very much worth a watch though.


If you would like to try something disturbing and more serious, give Serial Experiments Lain a go.
It sports a great amount of success in eerie atmosphere building.

http://myanimelist.net/anime/339/Serial_Experiments_Lain


Another (http://myanimelist.net/anime/11111/Another) and Kurozuka (http://myanimelist.net/anime/5039/Kurozuka) might be more real horror if that's what you are looking for in a show.

You also might just not find the western horror story and elements no matter what anime you watch though.


Shinsekai Yori (http://myanimelist.net/anime/13125/Shinsekai_yori) was also very interesting.

As for Hellsing - I watched Hellsing Ultimate, and yeah it's not really horror. I still found it pretty great though, and the animation is amazing.

Technical aspect is top notch, probably the best I've seen so far. Main issue I have with that series is lack of Japanese influence. Most Japanese manga anime have something in common. There is always some greater discussion going on in the background of main story. Humanity vs nature, who is human who is not, what means to be human, relations between characters, lots of emotions going on, many layers like that. Gay stuff, but I like it and it is one of the main reasons why I read Japanese comics and watch their shows. You're rarely going to see any of that in American produced comics and shows. None of that in Hellsing, very barren, like they've made fun show for gaijin simpletons.

Don't understand why no one has made Eden: It's an Endless World into an anime? One of the best manga I've read, on par with original Alita, Monster and I am a Hero.

There's quite a few mangas that deserve to be made into an anime, to be honest. Continuation of Berserk, Vinland Saga (and these are the more popular ones, who knows what else hides in the world of japanese comics).

If you are watching the OVA, a part of why Hellsing Ultimate is how it is, is because it was made for the starved fans of the manga and the not very good or faithful TV adaptation. Most of that stuff is considered to be done with, to the extend that Hellsing touches them.

Elfen lied is that kind of show where you like it the 1st time but when you rewatch it you realiase how shit it is, like Mirai nikki for example. Still, i would recommend it. Embarasingly plot holsih lolis destroying each other are my guilty pleasure.

Also i highly recommend Zankyou no Terror (http://myanimelist.net/anime/23283/Zankyou_no_Terror) (Psychological, Thriller) and No game no life (http://myanimelist.net/anime/19815/No_Game_No_Life) (Crpgers irl)

Rarely does an anime actually do its job on me, which is selling the source material, NGNL was one of the exceptions.

Title: Re: THE anime thread
Post by: Leshma on November 04, 2015, 02:25:42 pm
They say Elfen Lied manga is much better, haven't read it yet. Based on what Rhekimos said, same goes for Hellsing. Will read that as well.

Maybe, but I'm not into watching same thing over and over again just to see some quality that hasn't surfaced for the first time. Only stuff I tend to watch again is something that has no sequel and is pretty unique. Rewatching mostly for entertainment value, not to "get it" second or forty second time.

Anyone seen this: http://myanimelist.net/anime/323/Mousou_Dairinin?

Also i highly recommend No game no life (http://myanimelist.net/anime/19815/No_Game_No_Life)
This anime tries to make sexualization of minors and non-consensual sexual humiliation against females look like fun and a very natural thing to do. Not saying it does so on purpose, but I can't see how people don't notice something is wrong. Inb4 bullshit like "this is Japan" and "all anime do it": Yes, anime are known for addressing taboos, but when they do, they either direct sympathy away from rapists, murderers and the like (e.g. SAO Fairy Dance Arc), or tell a moral tale that explains a situation in which circumstances made the person act the way they do (e.g. HUNTERxHUNTER Chimera Ant Arc). No Game No Life is really something else, showing scenes that border rape in a completely unreflecting manner.

Even if you ignore these aspects, the show is still bad.

I rate 2/10. The strong point of the show is that it's short.
Title: Re: THE anime thread
Post by: Leshma on November 10, 2015, 08:01:02 pm
It is Japan :D

No really, their culture is different. Females are treated differently. Even their sexual act is different, because girls squeal like pigs and they kiss twirling tongues for everybody to see. Also this:

What I like about One punch man that I find lacking in Overlord is the feeling of OPiness the main character affects throughout the series.

Let's just say that having a series with a bit of comedy and the focus isn't entirely on the main character but on the whole Hero organisation and the people he is meeting makes his OPiness much more easier to swallow. Overlord is too serious and that makes the fights lame since you know the outcome. There is no point in prolonging the fight when you know you are overpowered next to the adversary.

Anyway, blabbering aside, I still intend to keep on watching both.

I feel like the fights that Saitama are actually in don't usually get overwinded or take up too much time compared to Overlord which loves taking its time clarifying the point we know. Plus One Punch man has none op characters who are generally more interesting to me than any of the pets in Overlord. And to top it off the different in humor is a big decider for me, I usually find myself cringing at most of the comedy bits in Overlord while I actually laugh at the bits in OPM. On top of everything else Overlords pace is set at a crawl while OPM is just sprinting through the plot like its trying to get most of the manga in in the first 13 episodes. Which it is doing beautifully and are pacing the show at a good pace. All these are the factors that I find why OPM feels better to watch than Overlord imo. I really wanted to like Overlord, but they just didn't seem to go anywhere with it. I just can't handle how slow its going.

I mostly agree. Overlord would've been great if it kept going... But obviously, it didn't, and no new season is even confirmed. I liked the fact that the creator was inspired by paper & pen RPGs, it really showed. Nothing worse than being blueballed by a show that's way too short, though.

Ok anime goons, I need some help for present ideas for my niece... She has been starting to get into some animes/manga readings... I know she likes Naruto.

I was wondering what you guys can recommend that is child friendly (she's 11) but also very good or popular among the kids...

I'm looking to buy her a little collection of mangas or anime comics or w/e for her, they must be in english! also must be child friendly, little bit of violence is ok but no over-the-top gore and sexual content.  :mrgreen:

I know little about anime/mangas... most of what I've seen and liked in the past is directed at more of a mature audience.

I might just end up buying her studio ghibli movies

Ghibli studio movies are fine choice. Especially My Neighbor Totoro. Not sure about being popular nowadays among kids, they are classics after all. Would advize you to avoid Grave of the Fireflies and maybe Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke. First movie is not for children and second/third can scare them.

Title: Re: THE anime thread

I said maybe, to be on a safe side. Not all children are the same, some 11 years old are very mature some are still acting like little kids. Spirited away is good choice for 11 year old girl because protagonist is around that age. She'll easily identify with main character.

If I wanted to be a dick could easily recommend Elfen Lied because there are teenage girls in that show or what I'm currently finishing, Serial Experiments Lain (thanks for recommendation Rhekimos). But those could freak her out.

Princes Mononoke is a personal favorite of mine but might be a bit much for a child, Ghibli would be a safer path to go if you are looking for something for your niece. For manga or anime sports based is usually a safer genre for kids since it usually stays away from gory but you might have to watch out for perverted content. I really enjoyed Eye Shield 21 and Prince of Tennis and I'm pretty sure they stayed pretty pg but you should look into them a little bit before hand to double check. Honestly I would be more able in making a list that kids shouldn't watch. Final recommendation would be Trigun, an excellent story about a Peace Loving gunman who travels a desert planet helping people and who takes out opponents with amazing skill without killing anyone.

I actually briefly scrolled over a list of anime to look for recommendations, saw Kiba and immediately felt the an emotion that equated to "oh yeah Kiba's a thing and it's pretty gud" although I would recommend it for the younglings.

All the mangas and comics are so expensive... so I got her ghibli movies...

I got her Princess Mononoke and Castle in the Sky... I don't think she will have a problem with Princess Mononoke, I'd bet she's seen worse.  :mrgreen:
I kind of wanted to get Pocco Rosso but that will have to wait til her birthday :3 I think I'll just keep buying her ghibli movies for her birthday and christmases until she has them all

Thank's for the suggestions guys.

Finished with Lain. Simply put, this shit is fucked up. Reckon it is very unique and not many manga/anime go this route. Didn't like art and animation much, see some people praising it but it rubbed me in the wrong way. However it fits the style and intention of the author perfectly. Soundtrack is basically that opening song which is catchy and kinda cool. Also that intro before opening song which is weird as fuck.

They released a bunch of chapters of OPM, some of the chapters were comically short but nothing new there. Still pretty quality plot wise but humour wise it was a little lacking. I'm sure they are setting some good stuff up though. Kind of makes up for the lack of Rikudo chapters lately. That and Hajime no Ippo chapters but we got quite a few of those a while ago so I wouldn't be surprised if they are just building up again. Also wish they release a Rikudo chapter soon. They seemed to be doing a Karate Shoukoushi chapter every other week so I'm not really worried about that. But lately all the translations for All Rounder Meguru have been ridiculously filled with slang. The translator has to be doing on purpose and its funny in its own right until just drags on you. Still waiting for more Vagabond and Vinland Saga, hope we see some good releases soon and maybe someone starts translating a new Manga that's amazing soonish.

Her poor son/daughter would be such an interesting character if he/she wasn't used as a tool and experimented on since he/she was young.

At least now (Around episode 32 on this post) Black Star has toned down a little his massive ego. He's really annoying when he's not serious (aka 98% of the time).

Well they got through like 90% of the manga in one season. So we might not see a new season soon unless OPM chapters start releasing pretty rapidly. That is unless they start putting filler in, but I don't feel like we'll see that. Either way this was a refreshing considering most the bland content coming out for a the past few years. Maybe we'll start see a turn around with more good anime coming out again.
Title: Re: THE anime thread

The season has ended but the OVA episodes are going to keep on going. They are pretty much filled with filler content based on the title of each episode: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_One-Punch_Man_episodes

So far only 1 released from 6. Next OVA is in 24th December then in 29th January.

Soul Eater is pretty good too (Ended in 2009 tough) because it has the same feeling of One Punch Man, aka not serious all the time.

That's because for most anime media interest starts dropping at an increasing rate after the first episode. So it's usually not worth making a second season unless it has great ratings and views. Also just saw there's a second season of K, I didn't finish the first season but I was really interested in it until it got to a boring school arc which was probably ending soonish. I'm gonna have to go back and watch it.
Title: Re: THE anime thread

Don't think so. It's all about Japanese being way more creative than American producers and not having to resort to cow milking every semi successful franchise they stumble upon. When they're done with one universe, they create another. That's what I love about anime, they are compact and never get boring. Unlike crap like The Walking Dead and other American produced shows that last for 10 seasons.
Title: Re: THE anime thread

Eh, some anime have unique plots and one season is not enough to fully fledge it.

Say some anime:

- No Game No Life ended on such a cliffhanger it's a waste if there will be no second season.
- Gakkou Gurashi was an interesting spin of a zombie apocalypse but that might take a while for a second season since their manga is still being developed.
- Monster Girls we deserve to see more sexy monsters!

And so on.

Is that hentai or harem? Seen some clips of it and think there is explicit sex in it, which would classify it as hentai. For example, don't think there is sex in Eiken, just big boobs on loli characters. Or that one I've seen ages ago, set in medieval Japan where main heroine steals breasts of her female adversaries. Can't remember the title.

I'd love something akin to Log Horizon. You know, people get stuck in an online game and need to survive while trying to understand what the hell happened.

Other than that I guess I like anime like Soul Eater/One Punch Man that are action but also not serious. (No One Piece, Naruto etc plox)

Well, sadly the only ones i know in that direction are Sword Art Online, Overlord and Log Horizon. Maybe (but not really into that direction) Gantz, but only if you like, urmm well blood and stuff.
I could recommend quite a few manga into that direction, the market is overflowing with them ever since SaO =)

Other than that I guess I like anime like Soul Eater/One Punch Man that are action but also not serious. (No One Piece, Naruto etc plox)

Regarding this a got a few interesting.
Angel Beats - Dont really want to explain this. Just watch it =D
Baka to test to Shoukanjuu - well what do i need to tell about this. Got some action scences but is mostly (~90%) comedy.
Kore wa Zombie Desu ka - It got action, it got comedy, it got boobs. Downside: if you dont think a man in a chainsaw loli costume is funny, dont watch it.
Asu no Yoichi! -  about a swordman coming into a city and living in a house with 4 girls and not having a clue about how the world works (quite ecchi).

Maybe i remember some other later, but thats it for now.

Also: new Berserk anime. Yes, please D=

.Hack is the original OG of vidya game anime. Although it's more of a feels slow anime generally. .hack//sign is about a guy who learns he can't log out and begins interacting with new players who try to help him and discover new bugs about the game that has real life consequences on some of the players. .hack//root is my favorite among the series and it a group of players trying to find a legendary item that might not even exist. While searching for it they run into similar problems as in sign. Although both can be very slow and you might get bored watching them, especially since the action can take a secondary position at time. .hack//quantum is a miniseries of like 3 longer episodes that came out more recently following this group of players who run into an anomaly in the game and begin to interact with it. These are all worth looking into in my opinion although the first two are very slow paced so be warned.

Is angel beats even worth it, i watched the 1st episode and cringed hard troughout it, dropped it.
I got a lot of good scenes stuck in my head and liked the general theme of it. But i dont really know anymore if it was truly worth it. Its already several years ago that i watched it and it was in a period where i watched 3-4 series a week.


Anyway, for manga i recommend maou no hajimekata if you can stomach the ocasional pornographic elemets.

Will have a look, story sounds really interesting  :D
Maybe im going to make later a list with some of the better manga im ready atm.
But for now this one should be enough: "how i stalked some dude with an exposed nipple and stumbled upon the zenithian sword"

Then subjugate the shit out of your surroundings, demand a beautiful virgin from the villages every year, fuck their brains out. Take an elf tribe under your wing, fuck their brains out too.

I'm taking a look at Accel World now. The main character is a bit annoying with his constant insecurities but the premise is interesting at least for now.

It's a shame most of these anime have like 12-24 episodes only.

Oh shit, new Berserk anime? Story after Eclipse? Oh my :D

Still poor quality laggy CGI, for shame. Ill watch it for sure, but its an annoying itch that doesnt go away while watching the movies.

Also the manga just hit another hiatus possibly, the chapters will now be released irregularly and next one is coming around summer. RIP, i was hoping a monthly chapter would become a thing for a longer period.

Psycho-Pass... decent show overall, interesting episodic format, wasn't bored at all but story is a bit bland, full of cliches, surprised me few times even though it really shouldn't. Ending if the biggest issue. If you look at this show as universal story about whatever it is about (can't bother putting spoiler so I'll avoid talking about premise) then ending is really unsatisfying and bad. But after few days it came to my mind that this is more about Japanese culture specifically and can't put in universal mold. If we analyze ending from Japanese perspective it does make sense in many ways. Many "serious" manga/anime heavily criticize traditional Japanese society and what has it become after WW2 (them ebul Muricans). This one is no exception, but unlike Shiki which sends universal message that can be applied anywhere on the world and Lain which is universal dark future story, Psycho-Pass deals with specific things that make Japanese what they are. Wish it wasn't about secret message but more universal story with satisfying ending where everything ends in beautiful anarchy and freedom.

Characters are a bit shit. Animation and art are superb, remind me of Zankyo Terror a lot (but think Resonance is a little bit better in that area, and much better in character development). Audio component is good but soundtrack is corny newage teen crap music. Feels bad after musical brilliance of Bebop, Shiki and Elfen Lied.

there are lists which show what eps are fillers, then you can skip. That´s a very effective way to watch animus with tons of filler eps, f.e. dragonball z

Never seen Death Note before. Liked it for first 12 episodes, currently stuck at 20th. Gets boring, fast. Same old, same old. Two homosexual pricks mentally jerking off each other. Hope there is a grand finale to make it worthwhile sticking through 17 more episodes. Dub is horrible, even original voices piss me off.

Knights of Sidonia used to be the worst anime I've seen so far, because it is pretty shallow but action is fun. But Death Note takes the lead. Shiki still the bestest, extremely underrated anime.

Never seen Monster anime, but can recommend you to read manga. One of the best out there, for sure. Probably quite a bit better than anime.

Friendly advice, if any of you want to dig into Gunmm universe (Battle Angel Alita) do not under any circumstance watch that anime-whatever it is. Ignore it completely, it is awful beyond belief.

Finished Death Note. First 12 episodes get 8/10 rating. Characters are mostly bland (only Eru is interesting, because he isn't one dimensional like every other character including Raito).

(click to show/hide)

After 12th episodes we get more of same ol' where they make up new side arcs to support main premise. That is boring, at least for me. When new characters arrive show takes sharp turn for the worse. Ending is especially bad and insulting, considering what previously happened.

(click to show/hide)

Overall, this is the worst anime I've seen. Interesting idea, but too damn long. Artificially made longer than it should be. Most characters are pure crap, deep as a puddle. Animation and sounds are nothing special. The worst thing about Death Note is that I had a strong feeling it is crap. That's because when it was popular, I was playing online game filled with Asian Americans who masturbated to this show. Most of them were idiots, in similar vein like cRPG players are (funny thing, that community had its own Kafein like character). If idiots like someone it must be bad... yet I've ignored my prejudice and approached Death Note like I've never heard about it. In the end my initial doubts were correct. At least now I know that spending time on Dragon Ball and Naruto will be massive waste of time and that giving those a chance despite my inner self telling me not to, is going to be great mistake.

Its an anime so of course its corny as shit, but somehow I found myself watching it all - so its better than most. Only to find out there is aparently never going to be a 2nd season, so.... fuck. Waste of time, same as berserk. Hate how people recommend animes that are perma cliff hangers, as never will be finished.

So I just watched episode 1 of Ergo proxy.

And WOW. First of all the eyes, those are realistically sized eyes. No absurd japanese characters yet. Just pretty cool sci-fi stuff. But the real shocker was the ending music was RADIOHEAD and not a cringefest J-pop band.

I dont watch that much animes, but I just randomly bingewatched Parasyte. Holy crap, that was a roller coaster. Next to the good story and action, the awesome soundtrack had a lot to do with it aswell.

The completely pointless out of nowhere and actually really retarded environmental talks were probably the only parts that left a bad taste in my mouth. They served close to 0 purpose to plot, story or characters. Those just seemed like they were forced in there with a crowbar.

Except they are not. I've recently stumbled into land of average anime which are in fact awful but there are many great shows. Reviewed some of them in this thread.

Continued with Sidonia no Kishi (Season 2). It is all over the place but entertaining enough. Haven't seen Evangelion but people say this is modern take on it.

When I'm done with Sidonia no Kishi, Ajin and Boku dake ga Inai Machi are waiting.

My thoughts about Parasyte pretty much exactly. It's a great series if you ignore the environmentalism bits at the end. It was an uncomfortable throwback to Birdemic for me, but thankfully it was brief. And the rest of it is good.

Boku dake ga Inai Machi is pure quality, finally after couple of average anime shows. I have nothing bad to say about this show. Story is interesting, plot isn't overused or generic, pacing is near perfect, characters are showing signs of richness (seen first three episodes out of six available). Art is wonderful, out of dozen anime series I've seen so far this is the best. Animation is very good, at the top definitely. Sound design is by far the best I've heard (people on Internet say Sidonia no Kishi has badass sound design, but this anime is better imo), positional audio works perfectly on my headphones and you can really tell where sounds come from. Haven't seen previous anime made by this studio (A-1) but it seems they've got Sony backing this time and it surely shows in production values. It is new anime (2016) but I can't tell a difference in production quality between this and work done by Sunrise/Madhouse/MAPPA. This will probably be the best anime this year without any obvious flaws, so I highly recommend you to check it out. Has a bit of feeling like Parasyte and Elfen Lied, and like Parasyte it is probably better done than manga it is based upon. Haven't seen Steins;Gate yet but it seems the main plot is exactly the same.

Previously finished second season of Sidonia no Kishi and kinda feel guilty about it. It isn't finished, far from it. Looks like this bang average show will last a lot longer than I anticipated. Still find it interesting but everything I previously wrote about still stands, if not amplified by second season. They've added even more naive Japanese romance between main character and his female peers. He's your typical mute lead character who's awfully shy yet at the same moment incredibly brave and competent. They've explained this in anime but it is total cliché. Females are also typical, pushy friends fighting for his affection. Season two with few exceptions and couple awesome fights is pretty much about romance and love life of our main character. Avoid this anime if you're not into mechas and space opera themes.

Ajin
Animated by Polygon Pictures, studio who did Sidonia No Kishi. Unlike Sidonia, rendering in this show throws me off and there are slowdowns at times. Visually not very appealing. Sound is not bad. Music is meh. Story is very interesting. Not particularly original (nigh impossible for new manga/anime) but I like the pacing. Characters are also interesting.

Combination of weirdness, confusion and great song. Bebop is also at the very top. Boku dake ga Inai Machi has great opening as well (you can see the killer for a brief moment):


Currently watching Tokyo Ghoul. For some reason I get the crappy vibes from it. Nothing is particularly bad, but I ain't feeling it. Seems like show for children, even though target audience is seinen. Looks better than Ajin, but Ajin has similar yet superior story and characters.

Finished Tokyo Ghoul, waiting for third season. First season is quite good, although I'm not quite satisfied how they dealt with mature parts of this show. Second season is a lot different, but ending is good. Excellent animation, good sounds, interesting story and characters. Interested to see closure of this particular story, won't resort to reading manga. Unravel, song in the intro of first season is great imho. Also that Japanese rap song in outro of first season is cool as well. Both intro and outro of Square A are crap. Best moment featuring Unravel is ending of first season:

(click to show/hide)

Second season has crap intro and outro, typical Japanese crappy music. Really like what they did with main character in this show, he really changed a lot during the show. This is typical for good anime I prefer, kind of going to hell and back personality of main char.

***

Seen episode nine of Boku dake ga Inai Machi. Nothing happened, crap episode imho. Significantly worse than previous eight.

Also latest two episodes of Ajin. Also not satisfied with direction this show is taking. First six were really good but with introduction of two incompatible groups fighting each other I'm starting to lose interest. Really hoped this would revolve around main char and not introduce something grander.

Tokyo Ghoul was really good for me, second season more so and those last fights were excellent for their content, animation and music. Boku dake ga Inai Machi is kinda bleh for the last 2 episodes, nothing much happend, and like you said Leshma, the last ep (9) was even more boring.

Fights are good but that's not exactly what I'm asking from anime. When it comes to fights, I enjoy Knights of Sidonia. Mechas fighting shapeshifting aliens, it never fails.

My search for decent version of Higurashi with English subs ended up as failure, again... won't resort to those poor quality rips. There are some decent ones but only first 12 episodes of original season.

Next in line was Mushi-Shi. It's an interesting anime but I expected something entirely different. Mushi-Shi is weird, disturbing and otherworldly in similar sense like Serial Experiments Lain. More art than tv show. People asking for fights or complex story won't get any of that, this is like fairy tales made into anime.

Will probably watch Attack on Titan alongside Mushi-Shi, to balance a bit.

Anyone watching Dimension W?

Mushi-shi was one of the best experiences I've had with anime. An impressive mixture of folklore, ethereal music and unique artwork. It's intense and unique in a very particular way. It's in no way an acquired taste. And I was quite sober when I watched it, I reckon.

I rewatched Lain 3 times in the same week after I first watched it, but dropped Mushishi somewhere mid-way through the first season. They aren't the same for me. The closest anime to Lain are Boogiepop Phantom, Haibane Renmei and the first half of Shinreigari, but they still feel miles apart.

Lain is pretty great. Haibane Renmei as well, but they share creators so it makes sense that they have similarity. Texhnolyze too, which you could try if you are looking for something with that thumbprint.

Parasyte (http://myanimelist.net/anime/22535/Kiseijuu__Sei_no_Kakuritsu) sticks out as the most recently aired show that I liked. Did you catch Shinsekai Yori? (http://myanimelist.net/anime/13125/Shinsekai_yori)
Psycho-Pass (http://myanimelist.net/anime/13601/Psycho-Pass) was also surprisingly good.

Sidonia no Kisshi (http://myanimelist.net/anime/19775/Sidonia_no_Kishi) was solid scifi, if you don't let the animation style drive you away.

Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru (http://myanimelist.net/anime/14813/Yahari_Ore_no_Seishun_Love_Comedy_wa_Machigatteiru) could also fit the bill, from the non-action corners of anime. I don't recall it having significant amounts of fanservice.

If stupid plots irk you, you could try something with hardly any plot. Like slice-of-life space aspirations in Space Brothers. (http://myanimelist.net/anime/12431/Uchuu_Kyoudai)
Non Non Biyori (http://myanimelist.net/anime/23623/Non_Non_Biyori_Repeat) offers almost zen-like nonsense, also from the slice-of-life department.

Golden Time (http://myanimelist.net/anime/17895/Golden_Time) or Charlotte (http://myanimelist.net/anime/28999/Charlotte) could also strike your fancy, but they didn't leave that big of an impression as the others.
Title: Re: THE anime thread

Death Parade, One Punch Man and Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun

Title: Re: THE anime thread
Post by: Leshma on March 16, 2016, 02:35:24 pm
Finished with Attack on Titan. It is obviously shounen but good kind, it attempts to be like seinen manga/anime but isn't deep enough. Still it is really good anime, faithful to manga (yes I'm reading manga as well). Great animation, epic story, interesting characters. Will be even better in season 2 methinks but we'll have to wait a little longer (they postponed it a bit, originally it should be available in few months). Still have OVA to check but I kinda hate OVA...

What I dislike the most about AoT isn't directly related to manga or anime. Hate how popular it is. Great show indeed but people are so fucking stupid if they think this is best manga/anime in past five years or so.

Now to say something about these shows which share similar character. Last two I watched have practically the same type of character. Kaneki/Eren are your typical characters which become chosen one. Same goes for Sidonia no Kishi protagonist, he's also hero type. I'm kinda tired of it. Can't wait for some studio to pick up I am a Hero. That's proper manga with realistic, believable character who never becomes true hero with superpowers and shit like that.

Another thing, can Japanese please stop making action movies based on manga/anime?

Parasyte is really well made anime, very addicting and has no fault till the very end. Not the best anime truly good.

Need decent version of Shinsekai Yori with good english subs (not some half broken garbage), anyone knows where I can find such a thing? Cornbreadman (CBM) video quality if possible.

Psycho-Pass is okay. Was better when after I finished it, now it's kinda meh. First season is very good, second is kinda garbage but I've given my opinion why they finished it the way they did.

Sidonia no Kishi isn't finished and has bigger issues than animation style (which is surprisingly good considering it is CGI, Ajin done by same studio is just awfully animated). Not sure will they finish it in next season, haven't read manga but I think I've seen some episodes in second season that can be branded as fillers. Still better than Naruto and similar crap. Not that far away from Attack on Titan story wise, maybe Sidonia will have better ending. Who knows...

Rest haven't seen nor I plan to. My manga/anime needs to have some suspense, thriller, outwordly story. Can't watch school kids falling in love or sport anime. Space Brothers seems interesting but think it has like 100 episodes...

Bakabt is my choice of stop for all unlicensed anime: https://bakabt.me/details.php?id=178087&page=0

I wouldn't advise to expect too much of Sidonia's second season, but it's watchable.
I have to agree with Psycho-Pass's second season. You can still enjoy it if you plain ignore some things about it, just like Matrix and the ending.
Space Brothers is a long one, but it's a good ride. The world doesn't come close to ending in each episode but there's some excitement in there too.

Judging from what you said, you might still enjoy Charlotte. I personally found the backdrop reasons in the anime to be almost shockingly stupid. But that doesn't stop the story from being enjoyable and developing to an intensity you probably won't see coming.

There's very few about zombies that I could find.

It's different tough than high school of the dead. If you want something like the walking dead, high school of the dead is the only one that is similar that I could find.

Gakkou Gurashi is more psychological and that's all I'll say. (Don't get fooled by the first episode. Watch it till the end)

[Edit]

If you or anyone gives it a try, let me know what was your impression. I'd like to know your reaction after watching the first episode and adding the dots together. Mine was total confusion but also a lot of curiosity to continue watching and see how it progresses forward.

I tried the first couple of eps of Texhnolyze; it didn't seem epic enough to binge-watch, so I guess it's something I can leave for when I'm procrastinating

Madlax
Mousou Dairinin

First three episodes were very good, but from 4-6 episodes (that's where I'm currently at) it gets worse imho. Those molerat people annoy me. Think I have an idea how they are involved in this story.

Now that I've seen some quality anime, must say that my favorite manga are missing on best anime list. Simply because they were never made or were made poorly (Gunnm has some piss poor OVA from 90s).

Mostly realistic, as much as anime gets.

There are some people who claim it's better than Lain, but Lain had my full attention from the first second to the end and beyond, Texhnolyze is nothing like that :?

Agreed, Lain is the greater of the two.

Got some list of semi-realistic animes? Like Parasyte, Death Note or Monster typeish. I figured out that im completely unable to watch any kind of anime that steers to far from realism or has too K-popish clothing and haircuts.

Shinsekai Yori - done

Not bad, wanted it to be better. Had really high expectations for some reason. Figured out the story after like first four episodes but had to wait 25th to end so they finally confirm it. Main characters are very bland imho. Supporting characters are a lot better, especially molerat called Xant.

Yeah I actually really enjoyed one-man punch. But reason why I think its so good is because its the opposite to most anime, the whole thing is almost just an elaborate parody taking the piss out of how stupid anime is. So i'm basically surprised that it is high ranked on my anime list or as popular as it is among anime fans.

I'm watching full metal alch at the moment, its actually not bad if I ignore how little sense any of it makes. Some of the sense of humour isn't even that bad, and typically always thought anime humour was atrocious and japanese people must just have a bad sense of humour. But have you guys seen Plastic Nee-san? this one is pretty funny:

Like TV shows and movies, anime series can have different target demographics. One Punch Man is seinen which is a loosely defined genre/target demographic combination meant mainly for young adult males and up. Another genre is shounen anime, which is the action packed Naruto etc fight anime targeted at boys where the most adult theme is violence and maybe bouncing boobs here and there. This is the genre that One Punch Man is making fun of the most.

Also I just got around to watching One Punch Man as well, that shit was great.

Very good series in just the first episode. Steam punk is such a fun genre, surprised Japan uses it so rarely. It meshes very well with their culture/style.

I keep rewatching this, the soundtrack which is quite obviously made by Susumu Hirasawa (who made the ost for the original series and some of the music for the movies (the good parts)) is so fucking good. Seriously that man knows how to make feelsy music, hype music, spooky music... everything, his music has such character. Im really hoping he'll be making the full soundtrack this time. Ive even stalked what projects he's been part of, watching anime just to hear his work, and theyve all been top notch (Paprika for example). Full homo for Susumu.

Found this on youtube as a recommended video (probably cause i listen to berserk ost like non-stop) very good quality, nice subs (although some lines seem to be missing at times, very rarely tho) and its edited to make more sense. The series otherwise start set in the future for one episode, which is an odd choice, but gives a good idea of whats suppose to happen with the series. But then at the second episode it jumps back in time to build up all the characters. Now this ones put that future episode at the end to make more sense. There may be more changes. Episodes are combines so its 40 minutes instead of 20, which is neat.

What a coincidence. I finished it like a week ago. It was a really painful chore. We get it, Tenma is Jesus. Why oh why do we need to be reminded of that for like 50 episodes.

Started getting introduced to Ghost in the Shell. Movies were pretty solid. Now watching Standalone Complex. And frankly the way they dressed up the Major is just distracting and disturbing. I mean, im no a tumblr feminist and I do like ass and titties, but they most definately went overboard.

Seems Berserk is getting it's own game styled after Dynasty Warriors. Says the story is based around Guts getting revenge, but I would crave a DW Empires like game where you play as a Warband during the Golden Age arc. I think the Dynasty Warriors system would be better suited in that way and that for post betrayal would be better suited to combat rpgs like Dark Souls. Either way I can't wait to see what is to come from this.

wouldn´t be the first anime where I can´t stand the main protagonist, mostly watching it for the overall action and characters. Yeah, basically it´s pretty shonen, but again, I´m also parallel watching Bleach atm so I´m sorta resistent to that aswell (currently at ep206, Bleach is really underwhelming imo  :? just want to finish it so I can say that I´ve seen it, but not because the story is any good. The OST (especially the espada songs) is pretty damn sweet though)

But seriously, if you take out the fights, is there anything worth watching? The only chinese cartoon of that type that I enjoyed watching was Fullmetal Gaymy old friendgist, it was only sometimes cringeworthy and the story was pretty good.

No, they're not worth watching even with the fights. Or hardly worth watching. As said time and time again if you want a proper shonen fight anime Hunter X Hunter is the true choice. Since we're on the topic of sound tracks, it also has far better OST compared to Naruto, Bleach or One Piece. I mean I love One Piece but honestly the OST is pretty disappointing.

Started watching Psycho Pass recently and I'm liking what I see so far. Nothing revolutionary and a bit too predictable/cliche protagonists and antagonist, but still enjoyable.

2nd season is a bit crappy imho. Written essays explaining why I think that. Not as bad like second half of Death Note (that was just bad).

I remember Desu Noto being my first chinese cartoon. I really got into it at first because it was an interesting concept, easy to put yourself in mc's position. Then the main guy got captured and gay stuff started, plot felt predictable, tiring, and I just dropped it.
The first one was actually Kissxsis

Boku no hiro Academia,

Newish anime and still in 2 minds about it after watching the 13 episodes that currently exist.

The first few episodes were kinda terrible, all cliché and 50% of the early episodes are just the protagonist crying. Eurgh

But I found it addictive and was glad I stuck with it by the end. It picks up a little, but without spoilering there is one character that pretty much redeems the whole show. Both the character, and the circumstances surrounding them, are interesting and fun to see and adds something into what would otherwise be a pretty bland anime.

I still cant stand the protagonist, they go overboard showing us how shitty and useless they are for what I'm sure they intend to be contrast with him being less shitty and useless later. But in 13 episodes they haven't really had the time to develop him anywhere beyond shitty and useless. Which makes it less satisfying. Also in terms of content, not a *whole* lot has happened in the 13 episodes they've had so far, if I were to compare it to something like the first 12-13 episode arc of SOA (the only episodes that exist after I purged my memory of the rest)

Anyone else watched it?

The story gets very good. Specially when big bad decides to fuck everything up. Course this bascially set up the story for some really good plot lines. Early story is truly story driven to create the world.

I'd recommend you read the manga.

BTW what is the "redeeming Character"? Bakugo is good. (His mother is interesting as well as the father.)

Post by: Gravoth_iii on July 01, 2016, 05:34:09 pm
Okay so i finished the first episode of the new Berserk animu. First episode obviously doesnt do much but establish characters, and where the show is going to start off. CGI animation is smooth, so thats good, but it gives me a feeling of a more childish tone at times, which is completely confusing considering what berserk is, but it works somehow decently anyways. In some scenes its actually really good. Some of the character faces look bad at times, but generally its passable. Theres some censoring, but blu-ray versions whenever they are released will not be, so thats something that ticked me off a bit but understandable still. Doesnt seem to make the show hold back on the gore, at least not all of it.

A thing that kinda had me a bit sad was how the music for the action scenes was very rock/metal-ish, and sets Guts up more as a action hero, when he's more of a depressed, lonely wanderer. Other than that the soundtrack is passable, nothing memorable yet. Im sad that the Susumu Hirasawa song is only in the preview for the next episode, and not a intro, or outro, because that was the only one that stuck out. Well actually the intro they had now was pretty good, its standard japanese metal intro, but it was fine.

Seems good so far, ill keep watching because its Berserk.
Title: Re: THE anime thread
Post by: Voncrow on July 02, 2016, 12:21:36 am
Honestly my first impression of the new Berserk episode was pretty negative. I felt like they went way to fast with the pacing and that fact was made worse by poor transitions. While it's evident throughout most of the episode, one of the best examples is guts taking out two of the bandit scrubs and leaving the rest of them to buy his supplies and then leaves without showing the actual response to guts straight up killing 2 people other than the bartender. That aside the music felt a bit cheesy at times and otherwise wasn't that great either. I don't really mind metal music in the combat sequences, I just wish they would transition it from the other music better, felt heavy footed. The sound effects for the skeletons also fucking killed part of the show for me, every time guts hit a skeleman it sounded like a cowbell sounds off. The animation during the first half was rather disappointing to me, seemed rather static and awkward in a way you'd see in old video games. The second half of the show they improved the animation, but still wasn't satisfied with it.

All in all the extremely bad plot and music transitions really killed the show for me and the animation isn't anything worth watching. Like Gravoth said it felt rather cartoonish like it's trying to give off a fairy tale setting, but just felt off considering Berserks generally atmosphere. I'll give the second episode a watch when it comes out, but I doubt I'll stick with this season long, just left such a bad impression on me.
Title: Re: THE anime thread
Post by: Gravoth_iii on July 02, 2016, 04:54:24 am

Someone fixed the intro at least. God this song is way better, instantly puts more emotion in the intro, rather than bland anime metal song.


edit:
Also a lot of people say that generally the first episode is bad, iirc the 1997 anime first episode wasnt amazing either. Theyve only got a base to build on now, im sure cgi will improve, and now that theyve established the setting they wont have such a chaotic episode and all over the place introductions of characters. I think theres hope for a decent adaptation. Since its an adult series, there just wont ever be the budget to create what everyone wants to see, so ill gladly settle with this.

Gotta love how they can do next to nothing in the time frame they have. This episode was probably an improvement overall, but I just don't understand what they are doing with the plot. Is there a reason they are skipping almost everything important? Did they show that stuff in the Berserk movies I didn't watch? I just don't understand what they are doing. Doesn't help that the only good parts of the plot are just inferior to the manga which I am currently reading. I don't know what to think of this. It just seems so random and bad. I was watching it on a free site, so I thought maybe I was watching something else. But the crunchyroll preview for the episode showed me that wasn't the case. I'm probably just gonna reread the manga and stop watching the anime.

On another note, are the Berserk movies worth watching?

If you could sit thru ep 1 and 2 of this you would like the movies. I enjoyed the movies and I some what enjoyed this so far because they are adding other characters from after the eclipse. I don't really like how Guts is drawn/animated  as compared to the ova's and manga or even the movies, he has a horse face now and his short lipped evil grin doesn't really carry the emotion of past iterations.

Friend told me to watch this show Re:Zero. I finished catching up to the season as it's still airing. I am in love with the concept, but the main character is so awful in so many respects. Every few episodes he almost manages to win me over just to go back into full cringe mode again. The plot is really slow at certain points, but shit comes out of no where to bait you further along in a masterful way. Right now it's on episode 15 and it seems to be part of the popular light novels into anime. Honestly it's kind of like Overlord except the plot does go somewhere at some point, although I have no clue where it's going. I'm hooked at this point though and I'm probably gonna finish it through.

Show description with small spoilers:

If you plan on watching it be ready to wait for the interesting parts, they are just around the corner, but the show can really drag it's feet. That said it's probably the best show I've seen in a while, I don't have much love for the latest anime, but this one really does well in separating itself from the rest in certain ways. Even though the characters seem a bit overly cliche at points.

Haven´t given a 10/10 for a long time, but Re:Zero has earned it so far, the latest episode gave me some serious Dark Souls vibes

main character is a loud idiot, but it´s interesting to see that he is getting treated like a loud idiot (instead of everyone else acting perfectly normal as people usually do in animes).
Still, he doesn´t deserve all the shit he has to go through. Damn.

Apparently the show has by large been scripted by Miura

(click to show/hide)

So a lot of the plot changes is his doing. Since he's writing everything as he goes when it comes to the manga, im sure he's wanted the series to be different when looking back at it over all the years. I guess thats what we are partially getting with the show. A more modern Miura version of older arcs of Berserk.

Try
Berserk- medievalish,fated betrayel horror revenge story.

Hellsing ova's- chocolate chip cookie(lol n azi) vampires, fanatical catholic church with "special powers"  and Dracula who is bound to the Hellsing family.
 
Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust- not a series, a movie about a wandering bounty hunter who has abilities because his father was Dracula but his mother was a human.

Basilisk- 26 episode long series about two warring ninja clans in feudal japan. A Romeo and Juliette' esque tragedy where in a George RRM fashion every character dies except the government who set it up.

Cowboy Bebop- until next time space cowboy

Big O- one of toonamis first shows- about a giant robot that destroys the city it is defending from giant robots.

Outlaw Star- also another of toonamis 1sts, its similar to cowboy bebop not as good though.

Samurai X / Rurouni Kenshin- wandering samauri trying to attone for past sins.

Record of Lodoss Wars ova's- its an oldie you might not like it, its dungeons and dragonish as it is based off of old D&D pen and paper game/matches.

Title: Re: THE anime thread
Post by: Voncrow on July 20, 2016, 03:08:48 am
I need to watch the Wolf Brigade, it's probably one of the few shows where I've seen a lot of the style, but haven't seen the show itself. Also Wolf's Rain is really out there, I wouldn't recommend it because of how slow the pace is. I don't think I even fully got it at the time of watching it, and remembering back I definitely am lost. That show is just too surreal for me.

I'd recommend Baccano: A series set during prohibition that follows three different plot lines of related groups at the same time. The characters are super interesting and the plot is great.

Also Trigun: You follow the most wanted man in a Western Post Apocalyptic desert world where a human colony fleet crashed and you follow that wanted amazing skilled Gunslinger through his adventures.

Ghost in the Shell: You are in a cyberpunk where everyone has chips in there heads that connect to the internet or something and you follow a special police unit that stops Revolutionary/ Terrorist/ Criminal Hacker dudes in their tracks. I haven't watched it since toonami and never in a coherent beginning to end style. So I probably missed a lot about it, but it can be called one of the classics in the anime world alongside Cowboy Bebop.

Hellsing: You follow the Hellsing organization, a group of Vampire/ Undead hunters working for the UK government and there bad ass operatives, mainly Alucard one of the three holy Red Trench Coat gunslingers of the anime universe. One of the others is in Trigun and the third is Dante from Devil May Cry, because Devil May Cry got it's own decent, but short anime. I hear Hellsing Ultimate is better, I never watched it all the way through, but I enjoyed the original more because Ultimate seems to try to be more funny in ways I don't like. Although Ultimate has longer episodes and goes much further than the original Hellsing animation.

Berserk(Original Animation): Follows the extremely long back story of the Berserk Characters, you follow Guts and Griffiths band of the Hawk in an anime version of the Hundred Year war. There's a lot of fun battles and you get to see a much more artistic style than you normally see in animations. Some scenes involve even still frame paintings of stuff thats about to happen that are great even if odd for motion based mediums.

If you do enjoy Death Note, you'll probably like Code Geass. Both try to be smart animes that involve weak super smart anti hero main characters with Holier then thou good twoshoes adversaries that both have great moments and bad moments and lose touch with themselves in the second half. That said I enjoyed both in the second half even if it changes from the main purpose of the show.

There are a lot of great anime out there that are just buried by the load of crap you find on the surface. I think I can honestly say I've seen enough good anime that there are golden shows that I have forgotten just because of how long they have been out of my mind and will resurface easily when I'm reminded of them. Honestly I think the best advice I can give for finding good anime is give it some distance from  today. The past 5 years have no been good for the anime industry and I'd say the best way to find gold is look through shows pre-2013.

Now I feel like talking about some of my more favorite lack luster shows. Stuff like Kiba, Ergo Proxy, Gun Sword. Did you guys ever see any of these? It also just hit me that Re:Zero is a lot like Kiba.

It consists of a single movie, so Wolf Brigade won't take too much of your time either.

I haven't seen the movie, but when it comes to anime it's not uncommon to find shows that just fail the manga, stuff like Parasyte and Tokyo Ghoul either because they can't fit everything or because they just have some idiot producer or something that changes things for the worse.

Haven't seen new Berserk anime. Is is really worse than this? I mean, dubs are horrible but nothing compared to western live action adaptation of manga/anime. That's a big no in my book.

It is closer to lightning bolt guy than something of quality.

The dubbing is good in the anime, everything but the animation is excellent. But if you can get over some bad looking scenes here and there, then the anime is pretty damn good.

I'd disagree, horrible transitions, mediocre music, slow pacing and weird random plot that doesn't seem to go anywhere. Pretty much all they've done in the first two episodes is introduce characters and skip most a large amount of content from the manga. The third episode they finally get to some decent monsters, but at that point I couldn't stand the animation anymore.

Your positivity towards the show made me doubt myself at first Gravoth. Made me think maybe I'm just way too critical. Then I learned it was general concensus that it's bad. But still, more power to you. If you enjoy that's good. Media without people to enjoy means that it was a waste of time. At least there are some who can enjoy it and I hope for the time to come when I can enjoy it also.

True. The people i know all like the new show quite enough, some even more than me, so its definitely something i look forward to each weekend. Im often critical towards stuff, but to me so far it feels as if most if not all cricism is based on the animation. You mentioned some other parts but those i just cant grasp except the skipping arcs, but thats a given. Theres too much to cover and they dont have the budget afaik. But character introduction and building was handled fine. Not perfectly by any means, but neither did the manga so its all cool for me.

I'm not surprised if it's the best in 2016, but I don't think it's a must watch. I first I thought so, but those mid episodes have been a lot of hit and miss. I'm gonna watch it till the end though, even though I had to force myself this last episode.

Bro I totally feel ya, this story hits a bit too close to home. Essentially this manga/anime, like many other, is critique of modern society, in this case neet subculture. I may be over analyzing this but when you think about it, put some pieces together it is obvious that:

(click to show/hide)

Maybe I'm over thinking it, but it does seem the author is former shut-in, neet and bi-polar person. I can't see why someone who isn't, would be so critical, it is known that most critical of certain behavior are people who experienced it to the fullest. Fat shaming comes from former fatties, abuse of alcoholics is mainly thing former alcoholics enjoy, poor people are treated badly by those who escaped poverty etc.

Self flagellation in episode 18 can really be too uncomfortable for some, especially those who find themselves to be in same situation as protagonist. It is excessive and can force someone to stop watching. You need to take in consideration that this is Japan we're talking about. Crazy country built on extreme working habits who also got hit by most unusual predicament, NEETs. Their hatred for such behavior is through the roof, mainly because of their working oriented culture.

Edit: This is an excellent read on the matter THE MELANCHOLY OF SUBCULTURE SOCIETY (https://www.gwern.net/The%20Melancholy%20of%20Subculture%20Society)

I once heard a similar theory about Samurai Flamenco, that the show was about the guys crazy fantasy that got more and more surreal as his insanity grew. I thought it was interesting, though it went along with the guy saying the show was shit if his idea wasn't true.

The reasons I'm not enjoying the show is because of a few things. The first is I'm not really into the Moe lovy dove thing, not my kind of thing so I miss out all that part of the show. The other problem is the show seems to have no clue how to pace itself. It between the last two episodes, there's been like 40+ minutes of exposition straight, they just stand around planning and talking. Although I looking forward to whats coming up next, and before this long exposition streak, there was a good action scene. Other stuff too, but I'm probably just being nit picky.

It has the kind of art style that I hate the most - almost absolute lack of noses, template eyes sticked on template faces, and mouths that make no sense when looking from the side. Every emotion shown in it makes me cringe and get ashamed that I'm watching stuff like this. MC is an obnoxious white knight who humiliates himself because he wants some 2D pussy. Maybe my weeb level is just not high enough to enjoy it. I give Re:Zero/10.

I kinda miss Re:Zero (waiting for show to finish to continue watching).

Currently I'm not very pleased with HxH. It started very strong, but turned into something I truly dislike. I'm around 40 episode mark and while I absolutely love the characters and back story these 'fights' greatly annoy me. Last ten episodes were Dragon Ball style with 1vs1 battles with those silly naming of special abilities. Ultra shounen moment, completely unnecessary. That's something I dislike in Tokyo Ghoul season two, those battles to see who's stronger because there's always someone stronger... at least they didn't announce special abilities and fights were somewhat 'mature'.

Hopefully they'll tone this down a bit in next episodes, I want to follow story arc and character development. Gives zero rats ass who's stronger Hisoka or some other turd. I'm mainly watching because of their personalities, their fighting skills do not interest me one bit if they aren't used in function of character development.

@Gurgumul: I think you're just butthurt about Re:Zero. Show and author are very critical of modern youth, NEETs to be precise, it is truly brutal. There's a good article on crunchyroll about it, basically what I wrote in this topic few weeks ago only broadened and with some actual clues presented (I didn't bother because those are spoilers).

He has a point about the animation though. Plus there are some plot holes and the obvious attempt at waifu simulator. Other than that the show was alright. But I feel the quality is dropping. Im actually behind right now, I hope the quality picks up as I catch up.

HxH is too slow. Hatsu: Prolonged Boredom...

I did adore char development before they started with childish superpowers crap. Now whole story revolves around it, who has which powers, who is stronger, tricks... meh

Take out somewhat interesting main story arc and superior, in-detail char development and you get just another Dragon Ball, Naruto thing for 12 year olds. This is why I tend to avoid shounen anime and manga, don't have time for shallow crap. At least HxH seems to be the best of its kind albeit least popular. No need to waste my time on watching full Naruto, Dragon Ball, Bleach, One Piece and rest of that ilk. Seen few episodes of each o those, concluded it sucks, now after seeing almost half of HxH I know my judgment was spot on.

They say Chimera Arc sucks, I hope not. Already had enough at ep. 60ish.

As a form of catching up with the rest of weebs, I finished watching Raki Star.
I r8 8/8 gr8 anim8, pls no h8
Probably one of the best cartoons I've watched, everything about it is flawless.

Before that, I also finished watching Clannad. It's pretty good at the beginning and mid story, but gets predictable and uninteresting towards the end. Transferring a non-linear VN with multiple endings into a linear cartoon with a single ending seems like a major difficulty, and the team behind the anime solved it not bad, but not great either. I haven't played the VN, so I don't know how much is skipped and/or changed, but it feels like the VN probably had a lot more content, and the anime tries to rush you through most of it, focusing on quantity of events, rather than quality. Another thing is how it prioritises one character over the others, rather than giving equal attention to all of the gals:^), especially at the ending. A VN gives you the freedom to choose your own semi-waifu, while the anime forces you to follow the subjective choice of some other weeb that's even more lardy and sweaty than you.

About fucking high schoolers, friends and girlfriends, their struggles in everyday life in big metropolis yadda yadda. Few interesting characters but that's it.

But it's because tonight is Re: Zero time, me happy mucho :mrgreen: Finally some quality after few drab shows.

Also I must say that now I finally understand Vibe. HxH is elite show (not the movies, they are utter crap) and those 148 episodes while seem like a lot, are nothing but fucking prequel or introduction to the whole story that is about to unfold. Discovering new worlds, awesome stuff like that. Chimera arc is my favorite so it is given that I want to see what is waiting in unchartered lands.

But... fucker hasn't drawn any of that shit and by the looks of it he won't do that anytime soon. Shame really.

It's called Hiatus X Hiatus for a reason. There is some chapters after anime ends if you can't wait, but the whole thing is gonna take a while. It's kinda like Berserk manga.

Re Zero was decent. Hoping season 2 keeps it up.

I had to read a summary of the last episode of Re Zero because I couldn't stand the cringe of the second half. The first half of that episode took 90% of the summary, while the second half was just 2 sentences, and they said exactly what I expected.

 loves his waifu so much. I can kinda get why he fell for her at the beginning - she helped a nigga out, so she must be a pure hearted type a hoe and all that. But throughout the rest of the cartoon she's just a bland, unconfident, generic waifu. The whole concept of a normal guy going into medieval fantasy world is really cool, but the further into the cartoon, the more it felt like an excuse to have a clueless main character who saves the world gets 2D pussy despite being weak and not fitting into the world. The only "real world" thing about the MC in the last episode was his tracksuit (did it even get washed throughout the whole time?), he might as well have been an average peasant from the "fantasy world" who fell in love with some high class mysterious albeit simple girl.

I'd love to see an alternative take on the concept, where the MC has a lot more connection with the "real world" (maybe allow him to go back sometimes), and where the story is not a love story, but a story of heroic deeds with much less magic and much more brütal and grotesque man-on-man fighting.

I expected to wrap this show up, to deconstruct this fantasy world and bring "changed" character back to reality. But guess it is not going to happen any time soon. Talk about milking potent material...

Not a fan of last six episodes. He's now changed man, not lazy and weak hikikomori. But he kinda gets on my nerves now, this change is too sudden and he's acting like white knight on crack most of the time. Too much time spent on stupid boss fight against white whale and it really doesn't add anything to the general story. Also these disciples of the witch, too much time given to them.

Guess that's how source material is. I didn't know this thing isn't based on manga. There are mangas but they are stuck at chapter 3 or so, while he's still in the mansion. Original story comes from free web novel some japanese dude posted on his blog. It is in Japanese but there is translation project. Original web novel is too long to be script for manga/anime so some pro writer took it and shorten it a lot. That is what anime is based on.

I read a little bit about what is going to happen in Season 2/3 (technically these are two seasons released together) and not a fan. Going into silly storylines even further and not into direction that interest me the most. I don't really care about fantasy world and what is going to happen with it. I'm interested in true nature of relationship between main character and his missus, and not in romantic way at all. She represents something, I can feel it.

Currently I'm watching the best anime I've never watched before. Took me some time to get used to shitty graphics, effects and the fact that on first sight every character has the same bloody face. But shits good enough to get over bad things and then some.

Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu - Star Wars done right.

Title: Re: THE anime thread
Post by: Leshma on November 02, 2016, 02:35:55 am
I'm watching anime because I find storytelling to be way better than in mainstream American movies and shows. Someone likes to watch lulzy stuff and hates serious anime. Other people prefer anime duels where characters take turns to activate special abilities and trade blows. Those people find anime that are slow paced, like Mushishi or Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu, well boring.

Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu isn't very Japanese. Set in future, where characters are of western origin (European Empire versus Republican separatists, ring a bell?) it tells classic war story in briliant manner with all twists and turns you'd expect from real life, executed just right. It's not original but it very well done, mature and realistic. George Lucas tells the same story but it is obvious fairy-tale, meant for younger audience. Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu is real deal, very familiar but rarely seen in world of moving pictures.

Around this time next year, Production I.G studio will do another go at this material. Will probably suck compared to original, although I expect magnificent visuals.

I've finished it couple days ago. Really epic anime, although ending isn't the best. Characters are varied, interesting and real imho. Every character has virtues and flaws, they aren't one dimensional. Also there is a ton of characters and some of them speak in very philosophical manner. To completely understand what they are saying you need some education. Also subtitles fly on the screen, so sometimes is hard to see them and therefore is possible to miss lines of conversation.

Everyone who knows me, can easily figure out which character is my favorite. But many of them are interesting, not at first, but at the end you learn enough about each of them to appreciate them.

Looking forward to see what kind of mess they'll make of this universe next year when they reboot t.

I think i often got really bored, because there would be something interesting going on, battle plans or whatever. Then suddenly it switchs to some really boring background story, or some character development that just felt really boring and unappealing. A reboot could be interesting, allthough i suspect they would ditch all the character and clever story for action and tits then.

Bungou Straight Dogs is plain average, new age anime. However side story lasting 4-5 episodes kinda stands out imho. Rest is less edgy Tokyo Ghoul. Dazai is not original char by any means, but his comments brought a smile on my face on couple occasions.

How do they call that shit, girls transforming into machinery like planes, guns etc? Isn't that some sort of a fetish in Nippon? I have seen some cosplay girl wearing planes on their back.

Anyway, myself wouldn't be me if I were following any global trends (other than MAGA of course) so fuck that weird girl plane furry shit that neck beards obsess with.

Started reading the new manga Goblin Slayer, set in a generic fantasy world with a fantasy Guild with a shitty ranking system where heroes progressively become strong by doing quests and fighting monsters of growing strength. Unless you the protagonist the Goblin Slayer whose one goal in life is to eradicate all Goblin life. Does a good job of making you hate Goblins, good backstory on while the guy hates Goblins. Then it goes into crazy detail with the guys obsession over killing Goblins, down to his tactics and equipment all select for maximum Goblin killing efficiency. The meta humour of the guy with a pure goblin killing build in a universe where Goblins are the weakest monster around mixed with decent artwork and interesting plot so far really has me riding on a high. Looks like their releasing chapters monthly and I can only hope it doesn't become another slowly abandoned manga series. Can't wait to read more.

First series have superior animation, better music, but I can't stand pacing. It is too damn slow and revolves around Guts love interest, which I couldn't care less tbh. He's a killing machine, he should do more what he does best. Arcs that are covered in new series offer more Guts and more violence. Which is point of the show.

Also, is there someone who actually like Griffith? Why does any of those people follow him is beyond me. It was clear to me that he's a sad piece of shit the first moment I laid eyes on him. They could choose someone more likable to fall from grace, instead of this blond, impotent bastard.

As for evil gods, Hellraiser much lol

Edit: Would say show is overrated but 8.4 score on MAL is about right.

I dunno about Guts love interest being such a big part of the show, its part of his character arc, a big one, but isnt really the core. The golden age arc itself is generally to set up his past and evolution as a character. Just a killing machine doesnt go very far, even though thats what he goes back to somewhat for a time. Best part about the OG series is how the music plays so well with the emotional scenes. Incredibly memorable. The new series just lacks the animation and ost tbh, the story is solid panel by panel and with good pacing.

I love Griffith, the concept of an almost invincible general with a common birth, beautiful like a painting, who with nothing but a mercenary band rises to the top of the kingdom. And then how he almost falls in love with Guts, and when he leaves only his passion to become King remains.

Griffith is the same as that kid who died as his mercenary, only difference is him being in possession of demonic artifact. That is the only source of his greatness. Story is very straightforward and well explained, don't understand need to add fluff to it.

Unlike Griffith who is naturally weak, life has shaped Guts into fighter with tremendous willpower.

Griffith doesn't love Guts, he wants to control him because he is envious. Griffith isn't capable of love.

But the power from his behelit only sparks once his passion is crumbling, aka when Guts leaves and Griffith gets destroyed in jail. Up untill that point, its all him and his talent/skill.

While probably true, yeah Griffith wants to control him, but he also had a unique relationship with Guts, which seemed much more geniune than something to simply control him. It seems odd that he would only want to control Guts to the point of going crazy when he actually leaves, but dont really care much for anyone else.

I'm glad you mentioned jail/torture scene. That is another obvious clue that shows behelit is source of Griffit's power. He's holding on very well until they take behelit away from him.

Again, Griffith doesn't care about Guts as a person. He cares about him combat prowess. That is what makes Guts special in Griffith's eyes, he's by far the most powerful individual he met on his rise to power (thanks to behelit). That is why he's so desperate to have Guts beside him, he's not sure he can make it without him.

But best proof is Zodd, who never acknowledged Griffith during their short battle and only spared his life because of behelit. Zodd was very pleased with Guts, because only thing that matter to Zodd is search for worthy opponent. He's not even evil, as you can see in the manga. The most powerful apostle and the only one who doesn't enjoy torturing people. If Griffith was talented warrior, Zodd would recognize that in him. He was actually confused why God Hand choose him of all people.

Interesting points, i guess theres not really anything that proves either way regarding the behelit. It did bind his destiny, so i guess in a way he is made to survive, but it could also have chosen him because of his destiny. Since it does seem to chose him, as it returns after the jail scene.
I guess it also served him during the assassination attempt, maybe i overlooked it a bit, but i still dont consider it to retract from his own hardworked success.

Zodd is such a cool character, always a big favourite of mine. I wonder how he actually knows what he does.. but yeah he is confused with why they chose Griffith, maybe its because at the time his position wasnt very high, or maybe he simply doesnt view things as the God Hand does. He is basically only in search of strength and skill, which i believe Guts at that point had exceeded Griffiths. And so he overlooks his tactical skills, and political genius.

And i believe i read scanlations, and they were all solid. Im not too picky on it, the ones ive read were good. Still considering picking up the books, but they are expensive af. And now the new spines are out for the reprints, so buying them would make for a poor looking collection.

It changed him that is for sure, for example in the new movies they show when he first met Casca, he doesn't really do anything to actually help her but he does give her a sword to turn on her rapist so in a small way he saves her but then comes the eclipse where he rapes her.

I think he just honestly never saw Caska as anything but a tool. Just like the very glorious part when he explains a true friend to him is one with his own goals and ambitions. Caska only wanted to follow, and so he probably didnt care for her at all. While Guts somehow struck him as different, and then Guts wants to go off on his own adventure and that of course ticks Griffith to go crazy ultimately leading up to him just using Caska as a tool to get back at Guts (raping her). Thats how i see it at least. So that was simply how he was as a person to begin with, Caska was never truly a friend to him, he just knew how to get followers and ones that genuinely like him.

Well it felt confusing considering it was Leshma saying the 2016 anime wasnt much worse than the old one. Which i disagreed on, old one da best. New one is solid.

And on the topic of the 2016 anime, they are releasing blu-ray versions which will have better animations, and some cgi parts replaced with drawn ones. Not sure when though, ive been waiting since october. Should redeem it for those who disliked it on that point alone. I still think its good, good pacing, panel by panel story and solid soundtracks.

To me it isn't much worse because I'm not that sensitive to rendered anime as many of you are, after all I've watched two seasons of Sidonia no Kishi and Ajin (way worse than Berserk). Rendered anime has an advantage, more Berserk is coming in few months. If it was done in traditional way, there wouldn't be Berserk 2016. Think 2020. or so for arcs they covered last year.

To me it isn't much worse because I'm not that sensitive to rendered anime as many of you are, after all I've watched two seasons of Sidonia no Kishi and Ajin (way worse than Berserk). Rendered anime has an advantage, more Berserk is coming in few months. If it was done in traditional way, there wouldn't be Berserk 2016. Think 2020. or so for arcs they covered last year.

Berserk fans are used to waiting for quality

Now I'm in the struggle of looking for a good realistic martial arts manga. After reading Teppu, Hajime no Ippo, Karate Shoukoushi Minoru, Rikudou, Shamo, Holyland, All Rounder Meguru, Kenji before it got bad, and what I could find of Evil Hearts. When ever I try to search up good ones I just find people listing off stuff like Strong Disciple Kenichi and Breakers and all that Super Natural shit. Maybe I should try Baki Son of Ogre or Tough, but I heard those aren't all that realistic either, I remember reading Baki and being disappointing, maybe I'll try it again. If anyone here has some good suggestions, I would be happy to hear.

Neon Genesis Evangelion has the worst ending I've seen in anime. I had to endure through last two or three episodes to get that shit. Like wtf?!

Anime ain't that bad if we don't count the ending, a bit like Lain but worse. And it is so boring when doing artsy scenes. Lain can be hard to binge watch but NGE is on another level. Unlike Lain or even Paranoia Agent, I see no point in this philosophical garbage they served me through 26 episodes. And I tend to like that shit (Lain, Donnie Darko, Fountain etc.)

EDEN manga is a bit like Evangelion story wise, but million times better in every possible way. Shame there's no anime yet.

Hell, even Knights of Sidonia have more potential. And better battles. But story could be better in the end too, despite being copycat.

This ^ so fucking much. One of the reasons why I think NGE is just so fucking overrated. Tries to convey some deep message but is ultimately just a bunch of confusing, uninteresting nonsense. Though I found the rest of the anime pretty bad as well, shinji taking the medal for the most annoying mc ever.

That being said, just finished Ergo Proxy. While the confusion is somewhat similar to NGE, this is how you end an anime. The anime had a bit slower pace than I would want, but the atmosphere and setting were amazing and it kept you guessing all the way till the end. Very enjoyable, even the quiz episode (where you actually learn a surprising amount of important story content, lol).

A friend of mine is a gigantic Evangelion fan and once showed and explained everything to me. I still don´t like it, the only outstanding thing is Shinji being the biggest pussy I´ve seen in an anime so far.
I don´t know why this anime is so popular, just as I don´t get why "Akira" is so popular, didn´t like that one either. Or maybe I just got a shit taste

Title: Re: THE anime thread
Post by: Leshma on January 24, 2017, 06:35:12 am
The End of Evangelion is even worse imo, even tho it explains things unlike original "ending". Main problem with it is second chapter that is even more painful than last few episodes of NGE. Sure, visuals are stunning but I never cringed so much.

Shinji Ikari is by far an anime character I hate the most, closely followed by human garbage, his father. There isn't a single good thing about these characters and would beat the living shit out of Shinji, he irritates me that much.

Now off to Baccano, at least I know to expect entertainment unlike with these pretentious works of "art" (more like visions of crazy person).

I've seen Baccano! Ain't bad but nothing special. I think people rate it mostly because of the way story is presented. Which also has a downside because many people will quit before end of first episode because you don't understand a thing. Durarara!! is similar but you still understand a thing or two after first episode while Baccano! makes no sense until ep. 5 or 6. I mainly kept watching because of Isaac and Miria, they are hilarious. Would watch Isaac and Miria Adventures, if there was such a thing.

I mainly kept watching because of Isaac and Miria, they are hilarious. Would watch Isaac and Miria Adventures, if there was such a thing.

Isaac and Miria adventures would be amazing. I think the best and worse part of Baccano! and Durarara! is that all the stories emotional ups and downs take place at the same time, multiplying/ extending the experience in a way that is more viable and no just delaying. When a climax or some shit is delayed it can easily ruin the experience. By creating multiple climax's that take place on after another the feeling is kept and the ride keeps on flowing right as rain. This of course has the down side that it's more of a slog to get through the build up of course, but with both anime they managed to keep me interested enough to pull it off. Though watching through all the following seasons of Durarara! has confirmed the sense that this is difficult to pull off. The second half of the first season of Durarara! is slightly worse than the first half, the second season of Durarara! was just meh, and the following seasons just grow worse and worse. So it has the benefit of extending the hype if it can get you there, but it's also a double edge sword, because it has to be able to get you to the build up in the right mood. Baccano! and Durarara! are two of my favorite anime, but I can easily see how they could be considered mediocre.
Title: Re: THE anime thread
Post by: Leshma on February 17, 2017, 04:03:37 pm
I get your point but didn't care much about it. Actually prefer later seasons of DRR!! because characters grew on me and I wanted to see more of them. Want same for Baccano! New stories with existing characters.

There are anime which are perfectly suited for 12 or 24 episodes, where story has just the right pacing. But there are also one season anime which feel like introduction. Original Berserk and Baccano are like that. It's like first season was just character introduction and you expect more. But there isn't more (wasn't up until last year in case of Berserk).

There's is HxH where 150 episodes feel like long introduction to grand adventures. I was like, okay this was great so far now I know all the chars, but can you please keep exploring unchartered/forbidden land with some of the strongest chars. I want to know what is out there, you goddamn lazy manga writer!

Death Note ain't bad overall, but I truly despise that anime. Second part is pure garbage. Can live with ending (although I wish it ended differently), but most of the second season makes no sense. That blond kid is obnoxious. Eru or L is one of the best characters in anime imho.
Title: Re: THE anime thread
Post by: Gurgumul on February 26, 2017, 12:55:00 am
I didn't watch Death Note the anime, but I did read the mango. The beginning is pretty cool, the mc (Light? Raito? Fukboi?) is somewhat relatable and I was thinking of what I would do in his situation. But then it became the author's ego masturbation. The person who wrote it probably wanted readers to think "w0w this guy's so smart!!!". I bet there exists a forum where autists analyze and discuss tiniest details of DN, and pretend to be as smart as mc. I'm fairly sure N is how the author sees himself. N is often seen playing with dolls or some shit, same thing as what author does with the characters. There was even something like a spreadsheet thing at the end, with different characters' "stats", so I guess when developing the plot, the author referred to these stats while stroking his mental dick.
Title: Re: THE anime thread
Post by: Voncrow on February 27, 2017, 08:20:05 am
Honestly, I like the idea behind Mellow, the concept seems cool enough. Basically just a crooked L going through Criminal organizations to take out other criminals. The only problem is they utterly failed in making him. The whole flying to America shit was pretty stupid, but the same can be said for the British Orphanage. I also don't hate the Orphanage, but the whole British part just seems to be the second seasons way of revving things up. The stakes have never been higher when you go international. Having mini-L seems like a waste of a slot for a new original character and kind of ruining L's death. Oh sure Light can kill the main antagonist, but there are duplicates for him to fight now. Honestly I would have been much more interested in a more fleshed out Mellow working with the Yakuza instead of N and M competing to get to Kira first. Then again, making a good second season goes against animu tradition. Can't do that.
Title: Re: THE anime thread
Post by: Leshma on February 27, 2017, 09:23:34 pm
Dudes, if you're reading this page full of spoilers please don't blame me for continuing.

What makes Death Note good anime and reason why L's character is so brilliant isn't his intelligence, cleverness, him devouring ton of sugar and still staying slim. He needs to be super smart to fight Light, but he's such great and loveable character because he knows Light is guilty yet gives him the chance to repent himself. L treats Light as his only, genuine friend and is willing to forgive him. After Light kills him, he's changed man. Basically I see second season from Light's perspective as him wanting to be caught, because of what he did to L. He considered L to be his only friend as well but was too scared what will happen to him, he let his selfishness ruin his friendship.

First part of anime isn't about super smart dudes outwitting each other, if it was just about that DN would be crap anime just like second season is. Friendship is the reason why it is good. Without human, likeable characters, second part fails so bad. Mello isn't likeable char at all, but he's closest to it. Especially compared with emotionless man child called Near.

L sacrificed himself, put himself in the open unprotected. At that moment he let himself depend on Light and that cost him his life. I don't bite the story that he needed definite proof in order to put Light behind bars. If he wanted it that bad he'd find it sooner, Light was getting sloppy and left ton of clues. L isn't someone who needs everything to be perfect in order to put criminal behind bars, he knew Light was guilty because there wasn't anybody else who fits the profile. But he liked Light too much and enjoyed their little game. He valued playing with Light more than putting an end to his shenanigans. Some may call his actions stupid, I think he's very humane and awesome character.

Not author's fault, you should blame Japanese people in general. There is nothing funnier than manga writers trying to create international plot. The way they imagine global state of affairs is just silly. In every anime I've seen so far. Only Black Lagoon and Eden: It's an Endless World manage to create somewhat plausible global scenario.

Actually, I think they are taking the piss. You know, like these 24 commercials (https://youtu.be/Ga4nNSqsYp0).

Trailer looks rubbish but I'll reserve my final judgment when I see the show. Teen vibe doesn't bother me, Death Note is exactly like that. But it seems cringe worthy when made into a movie for some reason.

Edit: Only wish they didn't force whole multicultural thing once again and stayed faithful to the characters. Light - Japanese, L - American-Japanese. Not white and black boy.

Edit: Why there isn't a single young American actor of Japanese descent. Are you really that racist?

Oh well. If they wanted to omit that important detail, they should at least go with actors who look like characters they are playing. For example, Ezra Miller could play L. He's weird, and a little bit of gay. Fits the profile perfectly.

AoT episode 26 was pretty bad imho. Half of it was stuff that happened in previous 25 episodes and the other half, less than ten minutes actually was just one scene. Other than big guy introduction, nothing of interest happened during this episode. I kinda miss having ton of episodes at my disposal to binge watch like a proper otaku.

And a new episode, and ho lee fuk, its reaching an extremely hype section.

Got caught with my pants down, tipsy, by the OG berserk intro (put your grasses on) while downloading the newest episode of the 2017 anime. Man people shit on it a lot but i honestly think its one of the best intros for any anime ever (Definitely my favourite).

Also new dope chapter out
(click to show/hide)

And a new episode, and ho lee fuk, its reaching an extremely hype section. So many parts are still laughably shitty animated, quite obviously cause of lack of budget, theyre really trying to keep it going if it so means parts will look poor. Cant blame them, keep pushing for the best you can muster, or at least focus it on the important bits.

I loved the scene when he put on the armour though. The music and the slicin, mmm so good

Well I've been exclusively watching anime since last time I wrote something here, so I covered a lot of ground in the meantime. Enough to lose track of what I watched, can't remember easily. Some of it was pretty bad but I never gave up (Higurashi is pretty damn idiotic during first half of first season, enough to say fuck it but gets better, Darker than Black is bland but decent enough to finish it).

At first I was mostly into horror anime but that changed over time. At that time watching Mirai Nikki seemed like a good idea. Well, it came at front of the line. Haven't finished it yet but heavily struggling. It isn't horror imho. But damn, isn't it one stupid anime if I've ever seen one? Being not very smart individual, I can feel my brain cells melting while watching every second of this crap. Does is get any better? I read it only gets more ludicrous while approaching the end.

Oh, if you want to watch something pretty nifty and up to date I can recommend Made in Abyss. Fairly decent show, has that HxH vibe (not you) to it.

I've seen some weird anime like Lain, Paranoia Agent, NGE, Higurashi series but Haibane Renmei takes the lead. It's not bad, just doesn't answer a single question you may have while watching it. It is completely surreal, like if you tasked a white Mormon from Utah to come with a anime storyline.

This is the first time I've been let down by MAL score. Well, not the first time but I kinda get why Mirai Nikki and Neon Genesis Evangelion have high marks compared to rubbish quality of those anime. Zetsuen no Tempest, I don't get why this crap has scored above 8. That is the only reason why I downloaded it, saw the high score on MAL and said why not. Big mistake.

I haven't stopped watching single anime so far, but this is serious contender. 91 days is waiting next in line...

Hm yeah, usually MAL scores are kinda accurate. I was fooled by two scores so far, Monster (drawn out, boring ass shit) and NGE.  Though I would probably raise an eyebrow if I never saw Dragon Ball Z before and watched it now.

Nyaa seems to be working again, under some shady domain tho. Shanaproject is still on and usual subbers like horriblesubs and noobsubs are still going strong. For older stuff there are still active subber sites although they aren't doing any new shows. Theres also bakabt, but I'm banned there for leeching.

I've watched anime on youtube couple of times, when I couldn't find Attack on Titan episode that was released at that time, and it was awful experience. Picture quality was even worse than usual streamers like kissanime.

I understand aprox. five words of Japanese and I've seen dozens of shows by now.
Title: Re: THE anime thread
Post by: Leshma on September 28, 2017, 05:36:45 pm
Monster drawn out, boring ass shit

Monster is top anime, contender for best anime I've seen so far along with Cowboy Bebop and Legend of the Galactic Heroes. Monster is masterfully crafted story, the best in anime world by far and among the best of its kind (thriller) regardless of the medium. But it is drawn out, because it takes time to build quality suspense. Don't even try Legend of the Galactic Heroes if you can't take slow paced anime. Monster has best story, LoGH has best characters (there's no contest really) and Cowboy Bebop is the most stylish anime out there with greatest soundtrack. Mushishi is fourth best.

There are many types of anime. I like the least your typical shonen battle anime with stupid punchlines and idiotic story. Quality anime are usually long and require patience from viewer. But reward is almost always there.

You know what else has scored way out of its league? Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood. It's alright anime but step bellow HxH, maybe step above the likes of Tokyo Ghoul. Maybe because I've seen so many anime in that mold, only thing I liked was humour. Story was known from the start, characters typical, ending just as I predicted. Good anime but nowhere near the best as MAL implies. But neither is Steins;Gate, although it is better than FMA:B.

Anime I particularly dig are works of Baccano and Durarara creators. They have that laid back atmosphere and colourful characters, while being devoid of grandiose save the world story. 91 days is supposedly work of the same author.

Out of big anime that aren't crap (Dragon Ball, Naruto etc.) I haven't yet watched Gintama. Rest I've covered by now. Stuff like Code Geass and One Piece I haven't touched yet, but seems to be that's more of the same mold, just worse than HxH, kinda like FMA:B.

One Piece is a bit better than Naruto, but don't expect much. It's cool but it's got a fucking million episodes and it takes forever for cool shit to actually happen, most definitely way worse than HxH (source: lasted till One Piece ep ~750). Code Geass is good.

I'm serious. I thought the world-building, aesthetic and main storyline were fantastic.

To me it was an anime that tricks you into thinking it will be a fighting anime. But ultimately it's a world where a normal bullet from a normal gun can easily kill any one of the main protagonists and most fights are resolved instantly.

I see. I used to treasure world building, but then i came to realize that i really cant enjoy a story without good characters. And i was miserable with all the characters in FMA:B lul

I found the 2 protagonists weirdly the least interesting characters, but imo there were good characters in it.

The only character I knew by reputation before I watched it was Roy Mustang, so I was just expecting him to run around burning everything and being an anime boss. Was pleasantly surprised to find he spends 90% of the anime scheming and conniving, having coded conversations and manoeuvring all the pieces into the right place. Immensely satisfying to watch.

And part of what I loved about the world building and development of supporting characters was that from the very start of the show they start presenting characters who fought in the Ishbal war and they each have different perspectives, views and memories of the conflict. But not one of them is painted as stupid or wrong. As you encounter more characters, more elements of the conflict are revealed. That's a level of writing I nearly never see in anime or any shows, it's something I really appreciated in the early seasons of Game of Thrones.

I did like some of the side characters too, but to this day im unsure how i made it through it all while hating the 2 main characters. Its rather common for animes to have whiny fuccbois as mc's tho, which is why ive locked myself into a circlejerk of rewatching a select few repeatedly instead of delving into new territory of disappointment.

FMA has good characters, story is rubbish tho. Show with truly bad characters is NGE.

Edit:

World building is fine, although whole concept of alchemist is kinda laughable to be honest. Better concepts in other anime who have same things going on.

Aesthetic is alright but I'm not too pleased with animation or drawing. Seen better and more varied and interesting, it is kinda bland/average in that department. But it has been done by Bones so I didn't expect true quality from it. If old Madhouse, before they split, done FMA you can bet I would have much higher expectations. They always deliver best animation at everything they do.

Story as I said is rubbish, not even average unless you consider average to be true average and not average of good anime like I do. Not interesting at all, you can see through it and also almost nobody important dies during anime. Story for shounen, blandest possible.

Much, much better stories in anime world. Even if it is far from being excellent, I found Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom story to be much better than FMA. Story of FMA is no better than Tokyo Ghoul or Darker than Black and those are your typical run of the mill anime storylines everybody who have seen more than dozen anime is already familiar with.

FMA is the best anime if you truly believe that Attack of Titan is above average or even great anime. Truth to be told Attack of Titan has really interesting concept and that's it. Interesting start, rest is pure cringe.

Those are movies, they are different. Ghost in the Shell has those artistic moments you can't find in most anime series. But I think they just copied Blade Runner. And were copied themselves by Matrix.

Last sentence is probably true but I can't make myself to watch slice of life anime or sports anime or anythings of those sorts. I know I'm missing a lot but really don't want to watch animated show that is like some drama movie or play. Monster is closest to it, but that's proper detective story and thriller, even supernatural at times.

Edit: Also I can't stand those kind of stories anymore, about poor kid who becomes world beater at some fighting sport like Rocky, Creed etc.

Its pretty standard story stuff yeah, weakling decides to man up and take on the world, but the characters and the progression is what makes it. Theres never really an "enemy", opponents are always sympathised with because you get their backstory, and so youre almost rooting for them more than the MC. If you havent actually watched it, i can tell you that if you give it a shot you will most probably like it. It was the same with a friend, and when i finally breached his defences and made him watch it he just binged that shit, and said that he told his friend about it whom did the same. Its a show thats insanely inspirational if you ever want to start working out or just getting over any kind of roadblock. Its also way funnier than any other anime ive seen.

Currently watching Fate Zero and I find that serial killer sub story far worse in that regard. Also fairly recently watched Higurashi series, that shit is just fucked up for the most part in multiple ways. Besides, you could sense something was very wrong with that abyss from the very beginning. It was expected.

Finished 91 Days, it isn't bad but not great either. Utterly forgettable, although it doesn't seem like that when you watch. Just twelve episodes + OVA, episode 7.5 is recap and can be skipped.

In the meantime found some time for movie I haven't watched previously, The Wolf of Wall Street. Three long hours of utter boredom and asking myself why the fuck I'm watching yuppie version of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (one of few movies I couldn't finish). Every anime I've seen in past two years is way better than this crappy movie. Think I'll stay away from recent Hollywood "classics" for quite some time.

I've never read or watched Gintama before, but damn, this is brilliant. It makes fun of everything Nippon. Shame I don't get many references since I'm not Japanese, but still there's enough neutral jokes thrown around. Someone filled with prejudice might get false idea that Japanese humour is different in nature, but if Gintama is the measure to go by, humour is indeed the same everywhere you go. With sole exception of Germany :P

If you watch the first episode, next episode will be in 2 weeks as this one was premiered early and people got their hands on it.

Just watched Kimi no na wa, very high rated on MAL. It was almost frustrating though because i never felt like i had any reason to care for any of the characters, yet they kept blasting me with emotional dramatic pieces of music to force me into the mood. Considering FMA:B is #1 on the list i suppose i should just avoid even looking at the top animes list.

Ugh, more like Kimi no naaah.

FMA:B is trash, I agree. But many of top anime deserved their ranking. Gintama deserves 10 for first season, sadly in later seasons quality goes downhill fast and episodes start to make little sense. Best anime ever is Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu, haven't changed my opinion on that matter. That anime has two problems, it is boring and has too many characters which are serious obstacles when it comes to millennial audience who just can't keep check of everything that is going on, especially if it doesn't involve mindless action scenes every five minutes to stimulate their senses. Which is why Attack on Titan is perfect show for such crowd, gory fights and stupid plot are what today audience cares about the most.

Some deserve being up there, some less. I didn't find Kimi no na wa bad, or FMA:B. Definitely not enough to call it trash lol, you guys trying to be edgy here or what is the particular dislike? Genuinely interested, not a FMA:B fanboy here.

Lets go through some of the top scorers on MAL though and my opinion on those:
#1 FMA:B - probably wouldn't put it in first place, rather #30-50
#2 Kimi no na wa - overrated, though not bad
#3 Gintama - slightly overrated. Granted I didn't watch many eps (12), I didn't dig the comedy too much
#4 Stein's gate - deserved
#6 Hunter x Hunter - matter of taste, but for me deserved. Definitely the best shounen fight anime.
#11 Koe no Katachi - I wouldn't put it this high, but it wasn't bad
#17 Code Geass - dunno, but this anime really clicked with me. I'd put it even higher.
#19 Made in Abyss - great first season, would maybe put it even higher. Depends on what is yet to come.
#22 Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso - diabetes inducing romance, but I liked it. Liked the soundtrack a lot, deserved place.
#26 Cowboy Bebop - deserved.
#32 Boku no Hero Academia - deserved I guess. Maybe a bit lower.
#39 One Punch Man - deserved, would maybe put it higher than Boku no Hero Academia.
#40 Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann - I'd rank it slightly lower.
#46 Monster - yikes, overrated garbage.
#48 Death Note - probably put it slightly higher than this, at least first season.

Honorable mentions:
#214 Redline - how is this not higher.
#235 Trigun - I'd put this one higher as well.
Title: Re: THE anime thread

I thought that FMA:B was outstanding (great soundtrack aswell), Kimi no na wa as said overrated, but still quite good

Gintama deserves 10 for first season

For being the top comedy anime, the first few episodes of gintama were kinda disappointing imo. They're using this song
(click to show/hide)
in the same way US shows use the "background laughter" for comedy scenes/jokes. It's just "ooooh, funny thing happening! Commence funny song, hu ha, they're running awaaaay, get them hooo!". Maybe it's that kind of anime you have to watch some episodes to get "into the flow" but I haven't made it past ep5 yet. Some reference jokes ("Have you been playing tetris all night?") are not bad, should I keep watching it?

Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou on the other hand caught me by surprise, I really dig anime which is practically just a collection of small puns like Plastic Nee San and this one's got some really good humor, can recommend that for some good laughts

I still haven't tried Gintama yet as i heard a lot of it's comedy comes from having knowledge of popular older shows and i still have a lot to watch.

I purposely watch what most consider trash shows as i find the worse they are the funnier. Like Evil or live and Kings game last season. Some of the best unintended comedies trying to be dramas i've seen.

Lets go through some of the top scorers on MAL though and my opinion on those:
#1 FMA:B - probably wouldn't put it in first place, rather #30-50  // isn't that bad, I do agree but nowhere near first place, called it garbage because it is rated 1st, if it was 20th I wouldn't mind honestly
#2 Kimi no na wa - overrated, though not bad // no idea, haven't seen it myself
#3 Gintama - slightly overrated. Granted I didn't watch many eps (12), I didn't dig the comedy too much // well you're Slovenian so... I find Gintama humour to be excellent and that staring scene had me laughing my ass off, not sure which episode, later episodes are about some far reaching stuff that I really don't find that funny
#4 Stein's gate - deserved // i like it as well but... Steins Gate is nerds anime to the bone, main char is crazy scientist with twisted sense of humour and his love interest is super cute, super smart female scientist, jocks just don't get the appeal of any of that
#6 Hunter x Hunter - matter of taste, but for me deserved. Definitely the best shounen fight anime. // fully agree, best shounen and best fighting anime, especially like darker parts but overall package is great except latest arc which is a bit dull, wish there was more of it
#11 Koe no Katachi - I wouldn't put it this high, but it wasn't bad // haven't seen it
#17 Code Geass - dunno, but this anime really clicked with me. I'd put it even higher. // haven't seen it yet, next in line as soon I find some free time
#19 Made in Abyss - great first season, would maybe put it even higher. Depends on what is yet to come. // spot on, has few flaws but in general excellent introduction. Same happened with AoT, and look where we are now...
#22 Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso - diabetes inducing romance, but I liked it. Liked the soundtrack a lot, deserved place. // probably will never watch it but you never know, not my type of anime
#26 Cowboy Bebop - deserved. // Top 3 anime any way you put it, best soundtrack
#32 Boku no Hero Academia - deserved I guess. Maybe a bit lower. // ugh, no interest in this kid of stuff
#39 One Punch Man - deserved, would maybe put it higher than Boku no Hero Academia. // guess what, haven't see it, but is top priority, kinda ashamed I haven't seen it yet
#40 Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann - I'd rank it slightly lower.
#46 Monster - yikes, overrated garbage. // you're wrong, but each to his own. For me personally Top 5 anime. Best story and execution in a anime that is granted.
#48 Death Note - probably put it slightly higher than this, at least first season. // overrated a bit, too pretentious for most of the time, later seasons pure garbage, show dies with main character

Honorable mentions:
#214 Redline - how is this not higher. // haven't seen yet, is a movie tho
#235 Trigun - I'd put this one higher as well. // haven't seen yet

Now I should add some other anime and give my take on it but kinda lazy to search for correct spelling on MAL. Give more opinions so I can comment plox.

Actually most of comedy in Gintama is universal, no Japanese specific humour but depictions are part of Japanese culture, not just anime but stuff from Japanese media in last four or five decades. Since I'm not particularly versed in Japanese cultural affairs it is kinda odd but there are titled explanations of every joke although I can't read that fast and get the correct context out of it. You need to stop the play, look on Google if you want to fully get the joke but bare bones of the joke are pretty damn universal.

Well for first two episodes of Gintama I was like wtf am I am watching and why I'm wasting my time... I believe I wrote exactly that somewhere in this thread. Things is, it kinda starts slow and at first jokes feel really forced and story truly doesn't make any sense at beginning but huge BUT it really picks up later and characters open up, most of them are very interesting.

You guys would probably like the episode arc when they get their body parts turned into screwdrivers by aliens who play Monster Hunter Online whole day, so in order to reverse their body parts to original they create characters in Monster Hunter Online (they call it differently in the show) and lose the track of what they are supposed to do, end up playing damn game for weeks without finding aliens. At some point they get in party with greatest player of all time who turns out to be their friend Madao (some weird Japanese acronym for jobless old person or loser) who is like his name says 40 year old something dude who can't find a job who after getting affected by aliens entered the game to search for them and since he has no job became the highest level player on the server :lol:

General story is, feudal Japan where everybody was a samurai was overtaken by aliens from space who brought change and modernized Japan (called Edo in show). All main characters are former samurai who are jobless now so they created Odd Jobs company which is like detective agency but they'll do anything for money and most of the time won't get any money in return. Other characters are also former samurai, some who work as police for aliens, some who are resistance and some criminals.

Shiki is very good yes and only a bit weird. For fully weird go Higurashi When They Cry. I've seen all of it and while it kinda makes sense someplace during 3rd season, I'll still say it doesn't make much sense. There are weird anime like that.

hey guys what are some good animes for a newbie ?

Im pretty much just listing these on repeat when it comes to anime because i really dont enjoy most things i check out, especially newer animes seem to just have such insane and unrelateable characters its really hard to get into.

series:
Berserk 1990s version is top tier. Incredible characters and music.
Hajime no ippo is absolutely amazing and motivational.
Mushishi is super relaxed and spiritual/trippy.
Cowboy bebop is probably the best beginner anime, so easy to get into and enjoy.
Samurai Champloo pretty much the same as ^, same director afaik so its very good.

movies:
Redline, not much story but very immersive and beautiful. Basically anime madmax in futuristic setting.
Paprika, also incredibly beautiful with more story and trippy visuals.
Akira is a classic, good old animation with solid action plot.
Ninja Scroll is another classic. Very brutal, gritty, fun movie.

It's ancient I know. Last time I actively watched hentai was at 15-17 years old and that was 15-17 years ago so I'm a bit out of loop. These were the newest releases back when I was watching hentai. Rest of the stuff was mostly softcore oppai centered hentai with stupid plots. Handsome preschooler meets frustrated mature women with slightly less frustrated teen daughters and they have a threesome or some shit like that. There was one about female ronin with growing bust whenever she beat somebody in duel, like Ninja Scroll but with big bosomed chicks fighting each other for title of biggest tits in village. Not sure how that one is called tho.

There's bunch of harem/loli anime but that is for autistic my old friends.

Quote from: Xanto-kun
NARUTO

That's like entering finest restoraunt in town and ordering coke with fries. You can, but it's showing bad taste and no class which is why most Americans watch that crap. If you want to be more modern then go with Attack on Titan. Same stupid following, mindnumbing plot that is going nowhere in anime version but at least there's some violence.

You know as much as i want to be excited, i quit reading the manga due to the complete tone shift when he became a slave or whatever. Maybe im just shallow and looking for action, but man that was such a complete 180 to the point to the point that i couldnt go on after a while of hoping for it to return back on the path.

Knights of Sidonia, just because it was one of the first suggestions for anime on Netflix. Cool atmosphere and good action scenes. Story seems stupid but it's good entertainment while working out. That's right i'm getting RIPPED while watching anime

That is the best mecha anime I've seen so far but I haven't seen much (never watched Gundam or Macross). Action is great but framerate issues are common, animation isn't smooth. There are many similar anime story wise but the most famous and popular is crap compared to Sidonia no Kishi. I'm talking about Neon Genesis Evangelion, do not watch that crap. It's overrated and made by some depressive dude, whole show is about depression and apathy. You'll barely notice robot fights because of the overall tone of anime. Everybody is that anime is a piece of shit.

I'd go with Tokyo Ghoul next, it's right up your alley. Cringy, made for goth teens and those who feel alike, edgy, gets the pump going, first season is actually decent. Tokyo Ghoul, Knights of Sidonia, NGE, Attack on Titan and many others are your typical anime where main character is some weak shit who gets stronger as the show progresses. He's the chosen one like Neo and rest of that world saving crap. Different themes same story, the most popular storyline in world of manga and anime.

There are better anime tho, but its not bad to start with the bottom quality wise and progress further to actual anime pantheon. If you do it in reverse you'll give up on watching anime fast because you'll go from good to shit.

I haven't seen the original, there's a decent amount of hate towards the new one from fans, but I am liking it so far. Only 3 episodes out so far.
Title: Re: THE anime thread
Post by: Leshma on April 19, 2018, 08:12:45 pm
So it finally came out. Might force myself to watch it soon. Why hate? Oiginal is possibly the best anime ever, that's why. And it was made in 80s with characters looking like people from that period while new one based on the manga art i've seen previously has some weird looking modern characters with shaved heads, tatoos and rest of newage crap. That just doesn't fit well into War and Piece vibe (yeah you motherfucker) of original anime.

Edit: So they don't look like those weirdos after all, thank God. But still look like bundle of stickss nevertheless.

This is how old characters looked like:

I dont like that many things strongly but the things i do like i very much enjoy circle jerking how good they are with others. I often get caught up watching videos like these over and over. Others would be dark souls jerking, to the lore and the design. Either way, good video. Captures Guts well, and who doesnt like a strong, struggling anti-hero in this world of animes having kids as main characters, or simply unrelateably goody two shoes leads. New chapter came out abouts a week ago. Nothing spectacular to push the story forward, but the art is always incredible, and it featured things out of Griffiths perspective. Another iconic character.

Redline is one of those movies that absolutely nails it tone and mood. The only thing I could wish for is more of the action driving ridiculousness, and that's half the movie already.

Also, I'm gonna start on Overlord season 3 soon, anyone here watch it? Is it decent?

If you didn't mind the lizardmen arc, then you won't have issues with this new season. It's focusing on world building so the actions the main character does are impactful. Last episode for example was great! But no spoilers.

Too late, I already caught up on the season. I definitely am still turned off the awkward main character thoughts, but otherwise I have really enjoyed the season so far. The latest episode threw me off a little, but I'm curious to see where it's going with it.

So many manga/anime going against hikikomoris as of lately, prominent example being Re:Zero but I must say with Boku No Hero Academia they are taking firm stance, kinda like Another Brick in the Wall in reverse. I mean whole point of anime is taking HxH and making it about how school is awesome for young children. Started interesting but recent episodes are school life 100%, not sure I can keep watching more of this Plus Ultra crap. It all went downhill when All Might lost his powers.

What happened with Made in Abyss season two? I'm running out of Bleach (skipped filler) and Steins Gate literally went to shit so I'm not sure what to watch.
Title: Re: THE anime thread
Post by: Vibe on October 03, 2018, 10:40:35 am
Apparently Made in Abyss season two is in production.

I'm enjoying Boku No Hero Academia, but I agree that the school arcs aren't very interesting. I am also greatly enjoying the current Attack on Titan season.

Hunter x Hunter manga is finally back after another long-ish hiatus, praise be for that though the current arc is at times difficult to follow due to the amount of characters and dialogue going on. A complete 180 to how HxH was before the current arc.

I caught up on S3 attack on titan, and was kind of disappointed. I remembered liking it before, but it feels like the tone and the characters are too serious with no levity. The story is alright still but its just annoying to watch them cry and scream for 20 minutes each episode. Poorly directed perhaps, or thats just how its suppose to be and it isnt appealing to me.

Well I already mentioned Bleach. Frankly it is stupid but is everything normie likes. It has 366 episodes, half being pointless filler. Bleach has annoying, stupidly overpowered main character who progressively gets stronger, as he gets stronger fights become more epic in nature, not just his but everyone around him somehow become stronger with time. Mangaka who created Bleach is also massive pervert which translates well into anime, huge boobs being everywhere and panties showing and rest of funny shit like that. There is no logic in Bleach storyline, it's all about fighting and getting stronger and bigger boobs. I shit you not, one of important female chars grown bigger boobs throughout series, author used her getting couple years older as an excuse to draw her even bigger tits.

Also Fist of the North Star is something you would like. You know the meme.

I've read manga a bit and while characters do show emotion must say they went overboard with it in anime, one of the weakest points. I haven't watched last 5 episodes or so, will probably do that tomorrow. Hope they'll finally reveal what AoT story is actually about. Second season was mostly empty of any story progression.

I still celebrate it that there's suddenly an anime about this, I barely read any manga but I kinda wanted this one to be seen animated. Also, it's great that they didn't leave shit out, it'd kill a lot of the overall drama/dark mood. Is it edgy? I guess so yeah, but it's a kind of edge I can totally roll with.

Dororo is solid. Like mix of Berserk and Mushishi if that makes any sense. Reminds me of Ninja Scroll in a way.

That other one about neet becoming shield hero in fantasy land is like Re Zero, but could be better. Has underage furry companion and looks like shes into him, oniichaan and rest of that weeaboo crap.

That seems to be it for this season, Banana Fish was highlight of last season and Goblin Slayer was fun.

I have seen a lot of anime shit but have not seen that one, yet. What is it like?

About anime, well recently over the holidays I went on a quest to see current pinnacle of western mainstream cinema. Better known as Marvel Cinematic Universe. Must say movies were fun, some were actually decent movies but compared to most anime I watch, this shit is very childish. So I am not so sure why are people still dissing on weebs when western culture came to a point where superhero movies are accepted as mainstream action movies.

Forgot to mention another decent anime currently broadcasting on pirate media network. Honestly my Japanese is horrible so cannot remember the title but it horror anime about kids in an orphanage. Cannot say the main plot because that would spoil the pilot episode for you.

Weeb moments have their charm, its kinda like crazy action scenes in American movies or nude scenes in European "art" movies. Comes with the territory.

Anyway these three anime currently broadcasting are still leaving me asking for more after each episode so thats good sign. On the other hand I have put second season of Steins Gate on hold and am trying to fill the gaps between current airing anime with it. Does not look good, as someone who holds Steins Gate in very high regard, Steins Gate 0 is complete bullshit and extremely boring to watch. Along with latest season of Attack on Titan, it is the proof that anime with good scores arent always good.

I like Promised Neverland more. Dororo is nice and all, but I find the animation a bit subpar.
Title: Re: THE anime thread
Post by: Leshma on February 24, 2019, 05:02:59 pm
That's strange, most people including me find animation in Dororo quite good. Promised Neverland is a bit like Shield Hero, sometimes good sometimes shit. Dororo is rarely epic but is very constant, with few dips. Although that scene when he went nuts is great and way better than anything I've seen in Deadpool movies. Last episode left a nice cliffhanger but other than that, it's a bit boring in between. First episode was epic tho but so was Shield Hero which is now loli/harem. Good thing about Promised Neverland is that I have no clue what is going to happen next and that's great thing because most of the time it is obvious where story in anime is progressing. I've seen anime with similar vibe (hehe) before but can't remember the name. Something about angel girls with bird wings living on some farm together, trying to decipher how they got there and understand the world about them. But that anime wasn't horror, just weird to the very end.

English translated titles of these new anime are atrocious but Japanese originals are so complicated I can't remember them at all. Tateyusha something and yakusoku neverland, well that second is a bit easier to catch on.

Edit: There is something that is getting on my nerves in anime. Same voice give to same type of character in every anime. Killua type of character. Every anime has it and is voiced by virtually same person in every anime. Promised Neverland has it as well.

...what? I think the animation is pretty well, that bridge fight in the first episode was very well animated

Speaking of bad animation, there's an anime called "Twinkle Nora Rock Me", and the animation style can be best described as "Power Point Presentation"

Post by: Leshma on February 27, 2019, 03:57:43 am
I know what bothers Vibe but thats actually a plus in my book. Dororo isnt sloppy animation but is animated in certain way that bothers some people. It seems choppy but thats art style not animator fault. Its like they are trying to bring manga/comic feel to animation, in lack of better words to explain it. When action is going on everything is baby smooth but regular stuff like walking has that choppy feel to it. Dororo isnt like Knights of Sidonia where animation is lacking in frames and that makes a mess something or newest season of Berserk where not just frames are missing but animation is crap as well.
Title: Re: THE anime thread
Post by: Vibe on February 28, 2019, 11:06:54 am
I wouldn't say it's just that, it just felt that some specific parts weren't animated well or rather lazy. Like the monk guy in general. Watching the latest EP I didn't find it lacking, so there's that, might've been just very specific parts from first few eps that stuck to my mind.

Couldn't bear it, had to peak into Promised Neverland manga to see where it is going with the story. Oh well, this anime is either going to last for few seasons or they'll skip bunch of story because at current pace doesn't seem like they will manage to finish it in one or two seasons.

Started Watching Mob Psycho 100, good anime but drawn in a weird way. Haven't seen One Punch Man so this visual style is new to me.

If you mean how they all look similar, it's because you're seeing it from the main protagonist view. He has a huge crush on a girl and sees anyone else as an "inferior being" thus "ugly looking". One punchman is not the same (excluding the main character himself).
Title: Re: THE anime thread
Post by: Leshma on March 24, 2019, 03:48:35 am
Not that. More like how odd Mob looks like and few other characters. Master Reigen looks normal most of the time (sometimes he makes same face as Mob), his bro and some others. Mob looks odd because they use it to visualize his boring side, which changes when he explodes and turn into completely different character. What you're talking about, happens rarely when there are other girls around Mobs crush. The thing I liked the most about Mob Psycho is that intro from first episode. Music is perfect.

Dororo is getting near the end, perfect anime while playing Sekiro. Shield Hero last episode was very good. Promised Neverland is going in right direction, shame I had to spoil it for myself a week ago so I wasn't surprised. Started watching another anime, seems to be slice of life or romantic anime something I never watch usually. Its about two best school students, one of them being spoiled and rich girl while other is best male student full of himself, who have crush on each other. Its not that bad, kinda funny at times.

Not to mention they don't seem to be going anywhere with the story, at least not for next couple episodes. They should stop the show with ep 12 and call it a day.

Downloaded One-Punch Man, first need to binge through first season before I get onto recently released episode.

Watching Demon Slayer (very creative title). Its alright. Animation is top notch. Probably best show this summer but it is weak summer so...

Provided by horriblesubs as usual. Best thing about anime beside quality Japanese craftsmanship and production values, is anime being somewhat niche category globally and thus websites dedicated to it aren't commercial in nature aka not filled with adware to the brim and no one is bothering me because I am borrowing work of our Japanese friends. Pirating anime was even easier in the past but still way better than having to be part of some shady torrent community or having to deal with adware on public torrent trackers, in case of western produced content.

Also trying to get into Bungo Stray Dogs second season but just does not hold my attention. That show has four or five good episodes in second part of first seasons and thats all. Rest is pretty much generic and boring anime.

Last thing to mention, I have seen One Punch Man. Well maybe it is because I have seen first Mob Psycho then OPM but I find Mob Psycho to be superior anime. OPM is funny and thats only good thing about it. It isn't hilarious for me to consider it as one of the best anime I have seen. Its not bad but not particularly great, especially this second season is weak but first was also just decent anime nothing more. Totally don't get the following it has, but I also don't understand Dragon Ball, Naruto or people who claim that Attack on Titan is best currently airing anime. Yes I do watching AoT regularly, but only because I am interested where story is going, otherwise it is kinda crap imho. They managed to turn every single character into boring mess, I literally do not care anymore for any AoT character.

You guys should give a try:

Dororo to Hyakkimaru - Imagine the samurai era with creatures and demons and the main character's father sacrificed his own son so that his empire could thrive. 48 demons took a part of his body but the Buddha goddess sacrificed herself to save him. Now he goes hunting demons to regain his body parts back.

Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari - If you like the type of anime that have people get stuck in another world (game), this is kinda it BUT there's a twist. This land has 4 legendary heroes that rise whenever there's danger coming (Waves). A sword, bow, spear and shield. The main character is the shield guy and he can't use anything but his shield to fight. This is not one of those happy go round anime, as from the very first episode there's the twist. Give it a try if you got nothing to do.
Title: Re: THE anime thread
Post by: Leshma on May 31, 2019, 12:50:46 am
The twist exists only in first episode, rest is your run of the mill harem loli anime set in fantasy world where otaku is teleported to play his favorite game irl. I still eagerly watch every episode. Last one was visually interesting because whore princess got a slut tattoo and boobies jiggled all over the place. Reminds me of Bleach.

Dororo seems to be going nowhere. I do watch it, but not looking forward to new episodes like I used to. Its not bad like Attack on Titan, but it is getting there. Actually the show that interests me the least of the currently airing is Bungo Stray Dogs, that is just boring to watch.

Most interesting is, of course, Demon Slayer.

I mean it's not unique but fine spoilers ahead:

No one wants to party with the shield hero because he doesn't play games (unfamiliar with most things), the king's daughter joins with him, manipulates him and steals his money THEN pretends he raped her to make everyone including the other heroes hate him. At this point he becomes filled with anger and doesn't care about anyone else. He can't fight monsters well (Nearly 0 attack), but he's forced to fight in the waves to protect the people. Eventually a slave trader talks to him to get some party members.

From there onwards, the king and his daughter keep jabbing at the shield hero to disrupt anything he does, and in this latest episode they got finally exposed and humiliated. I wouldn't say its the run of the mill in the same genre.

As for Dororo uhm he finally "found" (He's blind) his family and they proceed to attempt to kill him as the land is reverting back to being a wasteland. His brother is hunting him down, and at the moment he's filled with so much anger he's not gaining his body parts back when killing the demons. In the latest episode we found out that the strongest demon has been taking these bodyparts for himself when they died and he's going back to his hometown to settle this.

I don't know how you can get "going nowhere" from that.

Isekai genre is very much same story told over and over again.

Because large portion of Japanese youth are otaku, isekai genre is possibly the most popular right now. Two very popular manga and light novel are probably getting their anime adaptation in near future. Solo Leveling and The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious. Re Zero is getting new season very soon, Overlord last season finished last year and there will be more soon. Sword Art Online does not look like it will end any time soon. Whenever you look, there is an isekai show and they have the same premise.

Dr Stone has interesting premise, first episode was a lot of fun. Can't wait for more.

Demon Slayer am still watching but damn, has it fallen down the cliff. Not looking forward to new episodes anymore, pacing extremely slow.

For the lulz started watching anime about bodybuilding, dunno what to say about it. Its fun and goofy and not that great but, not a complete waste of time imho.

Other than anime watching third season of Stranger Things, something I patiently waited for. While quality stayed the same, it feels too SJW to me for some reason. Not enjoyable like previous two seasons. Every new big TV show has that SJW influence and must admit I'm not fan of that. Therefore will stay true to anime, Japs haven't lost their minds as of yet.

Mob Psycho is badass show, way better than OPM.

Yes it is Dumbbell Nan-Kilo Moteru. I usually never watch those kind of shows, comedy, sports, slice of life, musical. Only mystery, supernatural, horror, that kind of anime. Previously I have seen couple episodes of some school slice of life comedy involving best students trying to start a relationship, so this is my second funny anime for girls. I find Dumbbell funny tbh, main character while female is someone I can relate to and the way gym is depicted in the eyes of newcomer is spot on. Just shows that some things bridge cultures no matter where you are. One of them being gym and its denizens :mrgreen: Will I watch more, dunno, maybe. Its solid fun actually.

Vinland Saga anime started recently as well and there is also another promising anime, some space stuff. Never read Vinland Saga but it is done by Planetes mangaka so it must be good.

Wish someone would turn I Am a Hero into anime, need a show like that in my life right nao.
Title: Re: THE anime thread
Post by: Ikarus on July 09, 2019, 11:17:33 pm
Hm, Ill put it on my to watch list then, thanks

If you're ever looking for good comedy either try "kono subarasshii" or "Danshi Kōkōsei no Nichijō". Both of them don't have the typical japanese "funny situations" but actual humor which will make you laugh out loud. "Plastic Nee San" is also neat but the whole anime is only 30 minutes long

It's really hard to find good comedy animes, most of them are just "meh". A lot of people praise "Gintama" but I guess it's only enjoyable if you're an absolute manga/anime nerd because it probably has so many insider jokes I dont get 7/8 of it
Title: Re: THE anime thread
Post by: Leshma on July 10, 2019, 01:11:45 am
I had a blast with first 50 episodes of Gintama, later they loose the edge and jokes become a bit stale (kind of like Simpsons and South Park). Stopped watching at episodes 150 something. Jokes are mostly universal although many of them are based on Japanese culture and of course sources from manga/anime. Gintama does make a lot of fun by referencing Bleach so if you haven't seen Bleach then you won't get it. Also other typical shounen manga/anime are made fun of quite often.

Dr. Stone -  seemed decent during first episode, did peak my interest. Second is not very good tho and could not suspend my disbelief when dude punched a lion... bellow average it seems
Demon Slayer - started strong but turned to shit, bellow average
Bodybuilding anime - not bad as initially expected but not great either

Agreed. All three Enen no Shouboutai, Dr. Stone and Demon Slayer are average at best, Enen and Stone I still have hope that it could turn out good since we're only on ep 2, no such hope for Demon Slayer though. Didn't watch Bodybuilding anime. Vinland Saga is great and it's been so long since I've read the first chapters I pretty much forgot everything.

After watching first episode I went to MAL forums to see why people think Fire Force is decent anime and:

(click to show/hide)

Only good thing about Dr Stone imho is revival of civilization aspect, you know like the only good thing about entire survival video game genre. Chop wood to build this, dig ore to turn it into metal etc. Other than that Dr Stone is terrible. Main character has alright personality but the way he is drawn makes him look stupid. Other two characters are annoying imo.

Latest Demon Slayer episode is all about characters and while they are not terrible, I am kinda interested into where main story is taking us. Basic idea is good but realization is bad, it is way too slow pacing. Like they are planning to milk it for 200 episodes, even tho they will probably have to can it after first season.

All three anime I mentioned are kind of work someone puts to meet deadlines and earn salary. And I am not the one who is so into anime to bother watching fodder, cookie cutter shows without any outstanding qualities about them.

Problem with AoT, spoiled that shit by reading manga after the end of first season. Is only amazing if you don't know whats coming. Between first season and now is whole lot of nothing, topical wastern tv show receipt. Spoiled Promised Neverland a bit as well. Will not stop me enjoying seasons to come.

AoT has that kind of grandiose story, way bigger than characters themselves which imo suffocated them to the point they are all expendable grunts. Battle Angel Alita: Last Order is like that. Huge history, spanning centuries, even millennia, all kinds of shit happening. Its hard for characters to stay relevant when writer goes that wide. Original Alita is compact, well written manga with bunch of interesting characters and few story arcs. But after finishing it writer said fuck ima go planetary scale. AoT suffers from that as well. Its not about military recruits and their struggle after their world changed in one day, its something entirely differently where they only serve as fodder.

Tokyo Ghoul is a bit like that except anime is butchered in such spectacular way you cant even get a hold of wtf is happening. Thats by far the worst anime adaption ever.

FMA:B is overrated as well (being best anime on MAL) but it is very entertaining. Although story is dumb and clearly written for preteens. That has advantages like that scene at the end when:

(click to show/hide)

FMA:B and me being 4 years old again and He-man and NinjaTurtles are being thrown out of the window. Wonderful show for children.

Characters are good, not all of them (could not stand fire alchemist and some other) but leads are iconic both in looks and behavior. On the MAL scale I would give FMA:B 8.3 or 8.5 at best if I am in the mood. Nowhere close being the best anime. It is entertaining while you watch it and very bingeable but once you finish it you ask yourself why the fuck have I watched this shit in the first place.  Bleach is a bit like that although Bleach has other qualities like watching to see who will Ichigo beat next and how powerful he actually is. Unlike Gokus, Ichigos power level is always rising to heights we never before though possible.

Back to current anime. Seen ep3 of Dr Stone, better than second but still does not seem theres much quality in it. Seen ep2 of Fire Force and dunno is it me or that anime has the worst humor I have seen in anime so far. I get the jokes but they just arent funny. Of course the black haired weirdo kid who is main character has best blonde friend who is way cooler than him. Where did I see that before? Oh yeah HxH, MHA etc... Cant wait for Vinland Saga ep4.

And as always, if you want to see quality anime and dont mind dark overtones or somewhat depressive mood (know ton of people who only watch happy shows) you cant go wrong with Monster. Best writing in anime by incredibly large margin and no2 in my book.

For those of you who are on the verge to watch or not (thanks to piss poor MAL score), you should watch No Guns Life. It is good anime. The one I am looking forward every week, unlike MHA S4 or Psycho Pass S3 (45 minutes is too damn long for anime).

If only they would tone down the cringe scenes and focus more on making stuff.

Of course, Hero Academia is like 10x more cringey with heros looking at each other seeking some kind of bond then nodding as a sign bond has been acquired lol not sure why i keep watching that crap.

yet people complain when yuzo the gun head is blushing after witnessing hot chicks

I don't mind the cringey / silly anime humour, I can still have a laugh at silly scenes like the mastercrafter grandpa's clothes flying off when he gets excited over projects.

MHA is legit just fucking boring this season so far.

Other ones I watched / am watching:
- the new Legend of Galatic Heroes, this was a satisfying watch through and through, enjoyed it a lot
- Enen no Shouboutai, at first I thought it was below average, but for a standard combat based shonen it is slowly growing on me
- Vinland Saga, not much to say here, great anime
Title: Re: THE anime thread
Post by: Leshma on December 18, 2019, 06:26:53 am
Cringey parts are all da feelings scenes, not the funny gags.

MHA is a lot like OPM, just like OPM without Saitama makes no sense, MHA without All Might is well bellow average shounen anime. Other characters simply suck monkey balls and those with potential are left with little screen time. OPM has Joker like antagonist in Garou, which makes up for lack of Saitama. MHA has no such thing as of yet.

First few episodes of MHA werent all about academia, which is why they were good. Have zero interest in this harry-potterish school life of young heroes.

Had my reservations about new LotGH, but so far it is almost spot on. Remarkable remake which, once again, blows most other anime out of the water when it comes to story and character development. Low score on MAL comes from two sides. First are those who slapped 10 on original and see no need for remake therefore give poor score. Second and dominant are all those kids who saw 9 on MAL, gave it a try and found it boring (this story is japanese depiction of Tolstoy, its perfectly understandable why kids find it boring and slow), thus slapped 0 on new version to make sure its not ranked high as original. Could score bomb original but kids find that to be lame move. Remake, if not for different music that doesn't quite match the period and high tech nature of ships in new one, is almost like high quality remaster. They did not change many scenes at all.

Enen no Shouboutai gets a lot better but also more cookie cutter which is why score plunged down. Not sure what expectations were but as it is now, story does work for me although Ive seen it before many times. First few episodes are confusing mess.

Vinland Saga is top anime.

Also watching No Guns Life as I already mentioned and new Psycho Pass. Aint that bad but format is terrible. 45 minutes for anime is a no for me, although I believe Monster did the same. Not being good as Monster makes for me being bored while watching an episode of Psycho Pass 3. They should stick to 25 min format.

Should give Blade of the Immortal and Hero is Overpowered but overly cautious a try in next few weeks.

I for one don't understand that. The anime has incredible pacing, the story and characters advance every single episode, feels like it has no downtime at all. Perhaps the theme is a bit too mature for them and they just want to watch heroes with the power of anime and god on their side. And it makes me sad that we don't have actual sci-fi series like this at all, so we need to rely on japs to animate us some good sci fi shit.

LotGH sounds like the perfect thing to watch when we're finished with the yamato soon, thx for tip.

Haven't seen Battleship Yamato but LOGH is sausage fest. Half a dozen female characters vs couple dozen males. For kids, Knights of Sidonia might be more exciting but that's a bit scary for kids. Planetes is probably the best choice for you guys. Whatever you do, avoid the first episode of Goblin Slayer and last episode of original Berserk like a plague, unless you want to get yourself into a very uncomfortable situation trying to explain to a little girl what rape is. Also, no Higurashi When They Cry. I can make you a list of what to avoid in case you stumble upon an anime prior to reading synopsis what it is about.

Pretty shitty situation for the first half of the year. Nothing of quality announced. In the second half we should see the continuation of Tatenoyusha, Dr. Stone, Yakusoku no Neverland and Enen no Subotai with the final season of SnK as icing on the cake. Also, this is cooking: https://myanimelist.net/anime/40333/Uzumaki. There is a live-action movie which is pretty shit like most live-action movies. Gyo was only Junji Ito anime adaptation and is pretty lukewarm. This could be good. One of my long time wishes is to see Uzumaki anime and it is finally happening.

Currently airing anime are mostly terrible.

I had to give up on My Hero Academia because I could not take it anymore. You must be 7-13 to be able to tolerate that shit, I just cannot.

Finished Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!. It is not bad but did not enjoy it that much. Better than the rest of stuff currently airing tho. But one thing about is IMHO the best ever. The OP. Also, watch the music video for the song used in OP, I have rarely if ever seen so many animations in 3 minute video. This anime is something Ikarus would appreciate more than me.

Dug out some last season anime I skipped:

Hero is overpowered but overly cautious is IMHO, great. The best isekai anime I have seen so far. I binged through 12 episodes in two nights, very enjoyable to watch.

Finished Vinland Saga. No complaints, high-quality epic anime. Those who did not watch it yet I highly recommend doing so.

Blade of the Immortal. Just like Hero is overpowered this one has low grades on MAL but it is an odd one. At the same time, it is great and it is not. Not immensely enjoyable but that did not stop me from finishing it. It is a mix of Berserk, Mushishi, Dororo and Ninja Scroll. Overall it is better than Dororo but could be even better. Anyone who enjoyed Berserk and Dororo will most likely enjoy Blade of the Immortal. It is bloodier and more gruesome than both, by a large margin Id say. Not a fan of OP and general art style. Anime would be much better received if the story was not compacted in twenty-something episodes and if it had more colorful and more mainstream art direction.

Never seen Gundam, any Gundam. But know what it is. So I decided to give Gundam a chance and made my mind to try the most recent one that is available online, Mobile Suit Gundam The Origin. Did not expect much tbh. But I was blown away. Quality of everything is on par with Vinland Saga and better. It is the best anime I have seen in the last six months. For those who liked remake of Legends of the Galactic Heroes, this is an absolute must-watch.

Leshma have you seen Beastars yet? Very interesting experiment, animation is so well done that it's the first anime where Im not bothered at all by the CG.

I will give a go after I finish with Arslan Senki.

Devilman Crybaby... overrated. Weird art style, American influence (gay and gender theory bullshit), feels like that depressive piece of crap Evangelion with Berserk characters. Boobs are nice tho, even on that blonde bundle of sticks.

Arslan Senki is not bad but is nothing special. It gets worse as the story progresses. It is the proper medieval anime and has a strong Mount and Blade vibe.

this is american cartoon garbage, not anime. only lacks cringy squeaky teenager voices, and I can put it between simpsons and south park just because it's made in japan , doesn;t mean it's anime - it should have the distinct style and shitty, tearing 24fps animation to be called anime

I will give a go after I finish with Arslan Senki.

I know ages ago Umbra used to watch Overlord, so I gave it a go. Not bad, it is good actually but totally not what I expected. I thought it was some harem/ecchi/loli funny anime but it becomes kind of dark in the last few episodes. Not my preferred contender as the best in the genre but it is in top 3.

After I finished with Overlord, I wanted more gaming-focused anime since I could not easily find Beastars (had no idea it was on Netflix) so I started watching Log Horizon. So far not good, I find it boring and just cannot binge it properly.

In the meantime found Beastars for download (I really dislike streaming). Almost done with it and must say this is one of the strangest anime I have seen so far. It is excellent but so odd. It could be a high-quality high school, a slice of life anime if there were no animals, just humans instead. But animal relations is what it makes it special. I started alongside Log Horizon but the difference in quality is so massive, I completely gave on MMORPG anime.

Edit: Since Beastars is happening in a high school setting, I realized that I do not hate the setting. I hate My Hero Academia because it is fucking garbage anime with garbage story and garbage characters, it is no fault of a school setting.

Hows the third season of Overlord? I stopped after the second season because the whole story with the lizard people was stupidly boring, the cgi battle with the soldiers was terrible and the main character is a hypocritic cringetard. Thinks he's a good guy while has hundreds of people in a torture dungeon and needs a spell to act cool and not spill his spaghetti, hes so shit

Momonga is a very well written IMHO. Just like Tanya's character, he is another Japanese salaryman. Which is why he was chosen to be a guild master and do all the boring stuff for his guild. During the series on multiple occasions he shows envy towards his former guildmates because unlike him they were interesting people who could let go of that dying game, something he could not do because outside that MMORPG and his boring job, he has no life. Momonga is not evil, but he is not the force of good. He is hard working solitary man of average intelligence which is why NPCs seem way more cunning than him. At first, he is trying to act in a humane way but he since he turned into undead he has no connections to humans anymore, but the truth is he never really had. His wannabe good guy side is more of his desire to be one rather than him being a good person. Since he is the only former human in that world, at least the only one he knows, he is trying hard to act differently than his evil NPC underlings.

In a nutshell, the third season shows above written in a bit clearer light than previous seasons. He gets to rule in that world, something he could never do in real life. Which is why he is so afraid of other human players, but also NPCs becoming self sufficient. Always trying to subjugate them, if they ever find out what kind of lame human he is no one would follow him.

Lizard episodes were filler, just like some other episodes which have no tie to the main story.

Havent watched this movie yet, but this song and that sequence haunts me and make me feel too many things. I fear watching the movie. Satoshi Kon dying was the biggest loss in anime. Also gotta mention Susumu Hirasawa the best composer, odd tunes but so emotional.

Is it just me, or are newer shows getting slower? I have a habit of increasing play rate by 0.5x every with every cringe moment, so I watch most anime in fast forward. I watch run-of-the mill shows in especcialy  fast mode, shows like Franxxx, Toradora, Incel World, Kiznavier, SAO, etc. And it's not just a matter of getting used to fast pace, because for example if after franx 7.5x speed, I watch Monster or Kaiji, or even Parasyte in 1.0x speed, they feel normal. But if I go back to ultra cringe franks at 1.0x speed, it feels like someone slowed it down and stretched it to hit that 20 minute mark. The voices sound like a retard or someone about to die of boredom, even slower than the narrator in Mushishishi
Title: Re: THE anime thread
Post by: Leshma on June 15, 2020, 04:39:44 am
Those are crap anime. Something you watch and time just flies by, other shows feel like paint is drying on the wall. I am on hiatus since I could not continue watching Log Horizon.

There is nothing decent on the menu until fall. Actually there is something but can't bother with romance/slice of life atm. I have seen five episodes of the first season last year, currently, the second season is running and its called Kaguya-sama something something.

To illustrate what something being crap means Ill use western show that was on my backlog, Altered Carbon. A strong start, immensely promising lead character a lot of artistic goodness in the first few episodes. The end of the season is a bit shallow, Syfy like. The second season is a hard stop, seen the first episode can't go anymore. There is nothing wrong with video setting, show just turned into a complete smelly and sticky turd.

Congratulations, Leshma! You have unlocked Weaboo lvl 1

It is official, I became a Weaboo. Watched an American cartoon with a Japanese voiceover. Taking about Castlevania, of course. It was not intentional, found it on horriblesubs had no idea it is not anime. Now I need to wait for season 3 Japanese dub because I cannot switch to American voices after two seasons of Japanese.

My excuse why I prefer Japanese over American language is because I am sick and tired of American entertainment, especially since their entire culture went to hell (gender theory etc). Japanese stuff is high quality and devoid of degenerate agenda. Even before, American culture was all yeah bro, Japanese simply value intelligence over retardedness American culture has been since the 70s.

Post by: Gurgumul on June 27, 2020, 10:06:08 pm
no bro, japanese value society and being a soulless NPC. it's why suicide is sometimes seen as chivalrous there, according to japanese values it's better to kill urself than waste resources trying to become better. also they mostly get married out of convenience and couples spend relatively little time together, they're more like business partners 4 life. actual love is super rare and once you graduate from school, it's practically shunned upon like a childish dream. one reason why few japanese people are overweight is healthy life style and diet, sure, but another big reason is they are deathly afraid of standing out of the crowd and being different. it is scientifically proven that asians have very little genetic variety, they are like bugmen from Kenshi. if u don't conform, you become hiveless and everyone is passive agressive to u - you only get bare minimum empathy required by law, but otherwise you don't exist as a person, only as physical human body. japanese culture is soft YMCA

First episode of The God of High School is pretty damn good. No bullshit, just action.

Ever since they split with Madhouse, MAPPA has been the best Japanese animation studio.
