I am looking for some really dark/violent/horror SciFi anime. Think genocyber,battle angel alita,akira,betterman, and the like. Espers, evolution, 80s Japan's love of fascism are all welcome.

:hf:

I can say with certainty that Angel Cop, MD Geist (and its sequel), and Baoh the Visitor are all really entertaining. They're not particularly good but they are fun as hell with a couple beers.

Blue Gender is okay- it's basically an anime of Verheoven's Starship Troopers, but with the satire replaced with bitter, bitter cynicism. I kinda liked the ending, but a lot of people think it's horseshit, so be forewarned.

Pretty much anything by Yoshiaki Kawajiri is loving awesome. Just look up his filmography and go hog wild, watch the first thing you recognize that you haven't already seen.

Black Lion is insane. I really can't do it justice with words.

Megazone 23 is pretty entertaining, though I can't speak for part 3.

OOoh, Redline looks like entirely my poo poo. Definitely gonna nab it.

So one of the reasons I asked is that I like to do cycling and weightlifting to get into shape and like that extra bit of mental motivation before hitting the gym. I'll definitely be looking into that Yowamushi Pedal one, but has there ever been an anime about weightlifting before? I honestly don't know what you could even do with that.

Bleach seems like exactly the kind of thing I'd love but I'm so late I don't think I'd ever be able to get through all of it.

It's pretty much just regurgitated Yu Yu Hakusho but more nonsensical.

There you go, YYH is near enough to perfect, I'll gladly take more of that.

I'm with you on YYH, but Bleach is just not good. It'll make you want to just go rewatch YYH instead to see a show about ghost punchmans done right.

If you're looking for a shonen, you like YYH, and you haven't watched Hunter x Hunter, do that instead.

I've wanted to before, but there's one very critical problem I have with that series: I hate the main character's look. His design is a loving disaster. I seriously can't get over it.

Mentally replace him with Goku whenever he comes on screen and imagine everyone is just calling him Gon because they have speech impediments that make it difficult for them to say Goku.

hi, i got into this japanese drama (the liars game) and i was wondering if there are animes that have the "escape the room" genre. like specifically like the zero escape series. i watched eden of the east and i really enjoyed so maybe i'm looking for something like that. i used watch slice of life animes like a couple of years ago but, i eventually stop watching anime. tia.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes is all about escaping the metaphorical room of war
