Anime Discussions

So, while Kotaku does post some stuff about Japan, there isn't much actual anime discussion.

Just wondering who else around here enjoys anime, and what your favourite series are, and if you're watching anything at the moment?

My favourite series has to DragonBall Z, although admittedly it can tedious at times. Other favourites of mine are the Ghibli movies like Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke and Kiki's Delivery Service. Along with those, am a mecha fan with shows like Gundam Wing, SEED, Macross Frontier and Plus.

As I write this, I'm watching Gonzo's movie "Origin: Spirits of the Past" for a second time. Not the greatest film ever, but very well animated and enjoyable enough to watch to past the time.

yeah this kind of confuses me. if Bash is going to post "Japan, but not videogame related" stuff, at least have it be about like...anime and shit. not that idol crap. maybe there's more stuff related to idols to make posts about... oh well. this is a discussion for other threads, so whatevs.

 

anyway, I don't really watch anime that much. uhmm...Berserk and Bokurano were pretty good though. if you haven't seen either of those, well...maybe you should.

Godddd, Spirited Away is just amazing! Couldn't keep my eyes off it.

Even if you don't care much for Anime, you should watch this show:

If you like the band Asian Kung-Fu Generation, the guy that does their cover art also did the character designs for this show.

 

Also, Kaiba, if you can find it.

 

Looks like they have some of it on YouTube.

They're actually both from the same director, and they're some of the most unique and wonderful shows I've seen, anime or not.

 

I've watched some anime on and off over the years, but aside from these, there haven't been any shows to perk my interest recently.

The last series I watched and enjoyed was the book of bantorra. Friends have called me crazy for liking it though. Haven't really watched anything since except for rewatching the dagger of kamui.

 

I'm not really a big anime watcher any more, still like to see any new ones that are different though. I enjoyed his and her circumstaces for it's constant change in styles.

I plan to watch Bantorra over the holiday season, as well as catch up on various shit I've missed (Sora no Woto, Bakemonogatari, Ookiku Furikabutte)

 

This season, I've watched (or finished watching)

 

- Otome Youkai Zakuro (I'm a sucker for good shoujo)

- Index II (now with 93% less Kuroko!)

- Panty & Stocking (2nd biggest surprise of the season)

- SRWOG: The Inspectors (FUCK YEAH SRWOG)

- Kuragehime (biggest surprise of the season)

- The World God Only Knows (is as excellent as the source material)

- Ore no Imouto (Hideyuki Kurata + AIC = LOVE)

 

And of the things I sampled but dropped:

 

- Ika Musume (How NOT to do a moé series. See K-On, Ichigo Mashimaro, Potemayo, and Hidamari Sketch for superior examples)

- Yosuga no Sora (which had plenty of explicit secks, and I may pick it up again because I hear it's quite lulzy)

There are so many genres and subgenres that it's difficult to give a blanket recommendation. What types of genres do you typically enjoy?

 

I don't really even know what anime genres typically consist of so I'm not sure. As you can see I liked Chobits so I could always start there. In general I would probably enjoy something cute/fun (so no action or fighting series), not overly sentimental and with a good pace so I don't get bored.

 

Sorry I can't be more helpful, there's just so much in anime that it all kinda goes over my head. Honestly any suggestions you think are good would be very appreciated, cause then I can 'dip my toes' so to speak, and go from there :)
