The only anime I've seen are old VHS copies of Ghost in the Shell and the Macross Plus miniseries. The latter is notable for starring Bryan Cranston.

Sooner or later in every system I play I try to make a Fist of the North Star character, even though it never works.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

Weird coincidence, literally playing in a one-shot where my GM gave me Kenshiro as a pregen.

If you like Evangelion but feel the ending is too optimistic and there aren't enough mentally scarred, underaged giant robot pilots in it, you could always try watching Bokurano

And if you feel the opposite, you can try Gurren Lagann, or its distaff counterpart Kill La Kill, which is to transforming magical girl shows what Gurren Lagann was to gigantic fighting robots. :kamina:

This is pretty long, but it's the best and most comprehensive discussion of Evangelion I've ever watched. :nsfw: because he really goes into everything that the series discusses. Nothing visually explicit, but not something I'd watch in front of my boss due to the inevitable discussion of "that scene" from End of Eva (you know the one).

edit: the follow up is pretty good, but not essential if you don't have the time or aren't interested: http://blip.tv/foldablehuman/s3e2-1-end-of-eva-follow-up-6558464

I thought the end of the series (episodes 25 and 26) took place during End of Evangelion while Shinji is in the tang.

A sandwich and not pie? My nostalgia. :saddowns:

But seriously, I'm currently playing in a friend's barely-not-freeform nation-building game, running around as a hivemind of sentient crabs. I'm also running a Black Crusade game where (as part of payment for materiel for their pet army) the party has decided to commit terrorism on Forge Polix.

A Black Crusade party deciding to commit terrorism is a little like saying a D&D party feels like going to a dungeon. It's just kind of the done thing, given most BC characters are pirates, terrorists, or terror pirates.

Golden Sky Stories. (Though that's more in terms of chillness than actually replicating Mushi-shi.) Still, I suppose you could do a game about wandering problem-solving youkai.

Somewhere between GSS and Ryuutama lies the correct chill frequency for Mushi-shi.

That's one interpretation, and one that reads as totally valid as far as I'm concerned.

STALKER may be dark, but it's not, like, GRIMdark. The Zone is crazy, but it's as much a place of scientific wonder as it is a place of extreme danger. And for all the inter-faction fighting everybody likes kicking back in the alcohol oases and drinking vodka.
