How to recommend media(books, film, TV series): Do you have any genre or theme you really like? Then you might like these. How to recommend nerd media(anime,games, superhero stuff, podcasts): gently caress your interests, here's my big rear end list of favourites they only have an average runtime of 60 hours, so you just have to watch them immediately so I can nerd out about them to you when next we meet.

Captain Invictus posted:Yeah exactly, so go watch legend of the galactic heroes already Sorry my backlog is already full, I'm rewatching series I downloaded almost 2 decades ago and logh wasn't one of them. Honestly rewatching old series after so long have been pretty interesting since I have a very different perspective on some characters, some I remember hating are now my favourites. Unfortunately there are some issues like the occasional really lovely homophobia that I didn't catch when I was young.

Captain Invictus posted:Yeah exactly, so go watch legend of the galactic heroes already LoGH is my favorite sci-fi series ever but it's a big ask trying to get people to commit to 110 episodes, excluding the few spin-off prequel OVAs. I've been trying to get my best friend to watch it for drat near a decade to no avail. fake edit: The only #YangGang I acknowledge is Yang Wen-li's.

It's kinda the problem of recommending costume/historical dramas because they're all long as gently caress, and that's the genre LotGH fits into. Three Kingdoms is a similarly hard sell at 95 episodes, and each episode is also 45 minutes long. Even Band of Brothers is 15 hours in total.

Is Band of Brothers actually that long? Or are you counting documentary footage alongside the miniseries episodes?

Dias posted:No one is doing that, you had a poo poo-stirrer doing the poo poo-stirring thing (and getting banned from the thread, fuckin' finally, for that) and a very reductive, also probably poo poo-stirring considering their historic, "lol anime is all trashy pervy MAN stuff". Yeah every form of media has its problems with their portrayal of women but you can't seriously and genuinely believe that anime or manga doesn't have its own issues. Perhaps it is too reductive, but there is something slightly dissonant about anime involving sexualized characters who are ostensibly teenagers. Man, I love Sailor Moon, I love Samurai Champloo, Great Teacher Onizuka, even now as an adult but I'm not going to sit here and pretend there isn't issues with them or ignore that the medium In general terms has issues I don't know how seperable the audience, fan community etc, is from the makers but drat if there isn't at least some sort of knowing on the part of the creator's when it comes to what is popular and desired.

Band of Brothers is ten 1-hour episodes which is pretty short for any drama, historical or otherwise.

In the hope of pulling this thread up from diving in the ages old dumb derail, here's a week old Wha Happun that centers around the Cooking Mama Cookstar clusterfuck that was/is happening https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=daFilXCAsms

I really dislike the Wha Happuns on recent stuff. Like I know they're probably good for hits but doing them before all thd info is out let alone while legal poo poo is initiating tends to lead to very boring episodes.

Hel posted:How to recommend media(books, film, TV series): wrt anime I've noticed this being a problem so often that I almost always stick to recommending short series or movies unless I know that they specifically want something long they can sink their teeth into, just because I know how easy it is for folks to recommend a laundry list of stuff and overwhelm the person asking for recs. With movies in particular it's a good time since there is a short list of movies commonly recommended (which admittedly they're on that list for a reason) so it's pretty easy to go outside of those boundaries. Not to mention how much more manageable a list of movies is over a list of tv shows. A Sometimes Food posted:I really dislike the Wha Happuns on recent stuff. Like I know they're probably good for hits but doing them before all thd info is out let alone while legal poo poo is initiating tends to lead to very boring episodes. In a recent ep of the podcast Blank Check they brought up how glad they were that they didn't do an episode on Cats when it was still fresh in everyone's minds because behind the scenes stories just keep coming out. Those kind of trainwrecks are def way more interesting to hear about once the dust is all settled and you can form a complete narrative around the mess.

I think even Matt regretted the one on Fallout 76 since he just knew there was going to be more to the story, at the very least more blunders.

Babysitter Super Sleuth posted:If you liked Tatami Galaxy you’ll loving love The Night Is Short, Walk On Girl, as its the same director doing a story by the same author about largely the same characters in a slightly different setting I recently watched everything that Yuasa has made and I really concur that almost all of it is stellar. Mind game is a little goofy and “gaspar noe” edgy but made up for it with extremely inventive animation. Does anybody know of anything written or filmed that goes into the themes that connect his films? After watching all of them there’s a lot of culture specific stuff that id like to know more about.

LoGH is well made and important but I’d caution against trying to watch it unless you already know you really like space opera and don’t need a lot of modern flash.

The remake has a reasonable degree of modern flash. It's not a super-exquisite work of artistic genius, but it'll get you your big shiny sci-fi fleet battle fix.

Yardbomb posted:I've been a fan of DB/DBZ for more of my life than not by this point I'm pretty sure and yeah, I've just never even began to be able to make do with grandma Goku, the VA is a cool lady, I've tried, but I cannot take it. I fluctuate a lot between Grandma Goku and Sean; I think she hits the comedy bits better, but Sean is better for the serious stuff. Rest of the characters, I'm less divided: Vegeta, Gohan, and Piccolo are better in English, Frieza, Krillin, Bulma are better in Japanese, Cell is perfect either way. Ash Crimson posted:Yeah every form of media has its problems with their portrayal of women but you can't seriously and genuinely believe that anime or manga doesn't have its own issues. Woof, the comedy bits in GTO have not aged well. I still think it has a lot to say about the roles that teachers and schools have and what kind of effect that they have on students, but I can't watch Onizuka interact with his female students without getting creeped out now.

Alright, if we insist on anime talk, here's an anime. The Mysterious Cities of Gold, an early 80s Japanese/French co-production and a cult classic for Nickelodeon kids of this time.

I had already heard examples of Goku's Japanese voice so I was prepared when I started watching Super, my first time watching subbed Dragon Ball. What really threw me off was hearing King Kai's Japanese voice. Such a completely different energy that, at least for someone used to the English portrayal, felt way off for the character.

I think people compare anime to the wrong equivalent Western media. It's niche and aimed at young adults, mostly male if you're talking about the "mainstream" productions. It's not prestige drama, it's comics. Literally, if we take into account most anime comes from manga. I think you'll find that there are a lot of similarities between the skeevy poo poo in both, although of course there are culture specific elements to it. Also the length argument is kinda silly, people will recommend 50h TV shows without blinking. I never seen someone say "oh, I can't recommend The Wire to people because it's 40h of their time".

Strange parts of Twitter are utterly apoplectic because Anthony Fantano was only feeling a light 7 for the latest album by 90's one hit wonder Fiona Apple. Apparently he hates women. It's even on my top trends. This comment seemed to gan traction and it's a lot:

Come to think of it, I genuinely can't think of another anime that's built around large-scale clash-of-armies tactical action with shiny modern animation. The Gundam franchise sometimes brushes against it, and Girls und Panzer kinda-sorta-maybe fits, but the LOGH remake really does feel like it's one of a kind (or close to it).
