UnstableArk Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Forgot to mention that I'm watching Watamote. Not sure what that is, but thoughts? Been looking for some new anime for August. First time in quite a while I have a few weeks free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Isn't Watamote the one with the loser girl? Either ways Unstable I don't see you here much, what do you like and what have you seen? If you're asking specifically for currently airing or recently ended anime the best recommendations I can give are - Attack on Titan - Gargantian on the Verdurous Planet - The Devil is a Part-Timer! - Space Battleship Yamato 2199 also I'm currently watching this and consider it easily among my favorite anime, and I haven't even finished it: Fate Zero. Download it HD if possible, it's gorgeous. If you're looking for anime in general you'll most likely have to give us a list of what you've seen and your preferences in genres/topics. Jesus... funny how I can't really speak about politics or the economy, but ask me for recommendations on movies, anime, books and geek stuff and I'm an open book.

Mal Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Yeah, Watamote is about a girl hikki (shut-in) in her beginning stages of shut-in-ness. I just took a swing at the manga and so far it is sort of like a mashup of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei and NHK ni Youkoso. Enjoyable so far. UnstableArk, I suppose you can also hit up some older animes. For example, I'm about to hit up Record of the Lodoss War and Escaflowne. Ah... the 80's-90's was filled with these sort of fantasy animes. Speaking of which, I should retry Slayers. I should also hit up Dragon Half. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQf45wFfB4s LOOK AT THIS. How can you not watch it? Sure it is ecchi but come on bros... shit is tame to the amount of fan service we get now. For fuck's sake, they redid Gundam Seed/Seed Destiny to ave panties shots with the bulges.

UnstableArk Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 (edited) I'm not a huge anime guy, really. Nothing against it, just haven't really seen much. I'm not really particular about it, either. I've seen and enjoyed some serious dramatic stuff, some light-hearted slice-of-life. So long as it isn't obnoxiously tropey, not 50+ episodes in length, and has fairly decent story/writing/animation, I'll give it a watch, so recommend whatchu got. For reference, the one anime I hold up top is Cowboy Bebop. Samurai Champloo also ranks high, but that doesn't mean I can only watch anime in that style.

Mal Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Hit up Ghost in the Shell. All of them. You can take it one at a time, especially with SAC and 2nd GIG since they are 26 episodes each and are separate arcs. The movies (besides Solid State Society) are separate. Arise is also a separate universe and is mainly a prequel in ways to SAC. I suggest hitting up SAC and the movies first before you go into Arise since it is about The Major starting out... Others... Baccano. Immortals and 1920's-30's. Gunbuster and Diebuster. Super robots and GUTS versus antibiotic aliens. I wouldn't say it is over the top but Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is sort of like Gunbuster and Diebuster (Super robots) but it is a bit over the top. Sword of the Stranger. This is a movie. I would watch it for the action alone. KARAS, OVA movie sort of thing. Might not be amazing story wise but that OST and action! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnine Tenshi Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 I recommend Code Geass to everyone. Fuck the world. But really. Also recommend Neon Genesis Evangelion, Mushishi, Nichijou, Cromartie High, Memories, Gantz and Serial Experiments Lain to anyone as general recommendations. Watamote is probably more of an acquired taste, but I'm enjoying it thus far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baconrath Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 I just finished The Third - The Girl with the Blue Eye. I thought it was pretty good.Plus there's a tank with an A.I. named Bogie and that's pretty neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Code Geass is good but it has some of the worst fanbase ever. Everybody sucks Ledouche's dick and hates Suzaku even though Suzaku isn't that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 (edited) What Wally said, though Code Geass also has the most frequent fan service of any supernatural/mecha anime I've seen. I'm sure there's something else out there, but... That table will never be the same again! YOUR FRIENDS EAT OFF THERE, GIRL!

Mal Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 It is pretty decent but I gave up after Daddy Issues* and Pizza Hut. *But its Wakamoto so it is okay because of "MUHAHAHAHAHA!" and "RRRRRLLLLLLUUUUSHHUUUUUUUU". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waldorf and Statler Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 this anime seems to specific for me, to the point I don't think I'd be able to enjoy it. Welcome to the NHK was the same, where if it wasn't for the love story I would have had no interest in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnine Tenshi Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 There's a pretty racy love story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 (edited) oh boy incest jokes edit: couldn't wait anymore to learn about the Gintama movie since it probably won't be out in DVD until january so I read movie spoilers from people who saw it in japan. From what I read it sounds like a grand ol time Edited July 24, 2013 by Waldorf And Statler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Sword Art Online is getting an Adult Swim dub job. As you may [or may not] know AS has been basically bringing over seinen from japan and doing excellent dub jobs. Too bad they decided to go with Sword Art Online.Now a whole new group of viewers will be enthralled by the first half and disgusted by the second in terms of quality drop.

Mercurial Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Sword Art Online is just terrible the whole way through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 I actually read this manga. I don't know what it is, but I just want to see this poor girl get some kind of happy ending because lord knows this scenario is all too common in real life. If this series ends with her never finding a friend (let alone a boyfriend) I think it might actually make me depressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnine Tenshi Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 (edited) I don't even know what you're quoting, man. And her brother will obviously be her boyfriend eventually. Edited July 25, 2013 by Saturnine Tenshi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Jack Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 I started watching the anime. Judging from this opening, would you ever guess it's a slice of life show about trying to make friends in high school? http://youtu.be/HAIAXFQ0T74 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Jesus. This might be the first anime that everybody is watching that I'll have to straight up ignore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnine Tenshi Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 And the first time I'm really enjoying one? O: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 It's only three episodes so far but I like it. Of course, I liked the manga too and it's kind of hard to fuck up a direct adaptation. It's not exactly a feel-good show, though. Watching Tomoko fail so hard at even the most basic of social interactions is funny, but on another level it's also kind of sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waldorf and Statler Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 (edited) You know I really DO hope they end up together. They care about each other as they are the closest thing they have left to family. Is that a webcomic btw? Or just some random deviantart?
