Nyan Koi isn't outright bad, but it is pretty mediocre.

I enjoyed Nyan-koi. But I think I liked it more for the voice acting rather than the actual show.

I'm looking for something psychological, with a bit of anime plot weirdness. I really like all of Satoshi Kon's stuff, and Lain is one of my favorites of all time. Is there something out there like that? Also, I love shows that have conventional plots, but with the main character being a horrible, broken person. Is there anything outside of Evangelion that's like that?

Also, if you want horrible and broken, Welcome to the NHK pretty much defines it. The manga's better, if you'd rather go that way. Also, Saikano and Elfen Leid, but I'd never suggest anyone watch those unironically.

I'd also like some recommendations on that, but expand / alter it slightly. I like stories where the plot may be conventional, but the / a main character is either only very reluctantly doing their job or being as much as a bastard about it as possible while still technically being the "hero" of the story. You can also recommend me a manga like that. Examples for something like these would be AIKI (not really a spoiler) played for comedy and Shin Angyo Onshi (kind of a spoiler?) played straight.

Irresponsible Captain Tyler is about a guy who joins the military for all the wrong reasons and is basically a huge gently caress up and not taking anything seriously.

I'll second Fate/Zero and especially Welcome to the NHK. Mirai Nikki also qualifies, but it's as tonally and thematically different from Evangelion or Welcome to the NHK as you could get.

If you like Lain, you should check out ABe's other works, Texhnolyze and Haibane Renmei.

Btooom! fits this well, but it's not that great. Mirai Nikki also turns into this (excluding the main character, mostly).

All of these shows seem super depressing. Do you have any quirky slice of life stuff that involves romance and ridiculously happy characters? I wish I had something to compare it to, but I've already played most of my cards in my first post. Edit: I take that back. I really like Robotics;Notes. I want one with a character as happy as Akiho. Smoking Crow fucked around with this message at 20:18 on Apr 11, 2013 |

Or you want quirkly and happy, but also with a horribly broken main character? Becuase if it's the second there is close to nothing that I can think of that would fit the bill because that character type and that style of story telling does not go together at all.

Well, the aforementioned Baccano! is super happy and quirky and also involves horribly broken people. The romance is kind of a sideline at best, though.

Both the main characters have brain problems.

No. Disregard my first post entirely. I'm looking for an entirely different set of shows to get in on. No broken people. Just happiness as far as the eye can see. vvvvv Are you joking with me? I've been told by the anime fans I know never to watch K-on. Something about creepy fans? Smoking Crow fucked around with this message at 20:39 on Apr 11, 2013 |

The Aria series, Hidamari Sketch, Ikoku Meiro no Croisee, Kamichu, Minami-ke, and Tamayura are all things that come to mind then. The amount of romance involved varies a lot, but they're all mellow happy slice of life shows.Smoking Crow posted:vvvvv Are you joking with me? I've been told by the anime fans I know never to watch K-on. Something about creepy fans? K-on! is objectively a pretty good show if you like slice of life comedy, but its success is largely to blame for the fact that we get like 4 Moe-blob "3-6 cute girls in a club doing cute things" shows a season now, so it gets a lot of poo poo for that.

Blhue posted:The Aria series, Hidamari Sketch These are my absolute top picks for shows that just give me warm fuzzy feelings inside. Along the same lines, the recently finished Yama no Susume is very similar in terms of feel. I wouldn't recommend marathoning it though. As tempting as it is with the short episodes, it does work better if you take some time between each episode. If you want a happy comedy, then I'd highly recommend Squid Girl/Ika Musume.
