Go watch the movie if you haven't yet. (Rascal Does Not Dream of Dreaming Girls) Just make sure you've got a couple hours free afterwards to process.

SUPER DUPER HARD MODE I would like a harem anime where the protagonist isn't completely oblivious, and it also isn't a hentai. Does such a thing exist? Redo doesn't count- that's hentai. The Islamic Shock fucked around with this message at 02:49 on Apr 20, 2021 |

The Islamic Shock posted:SUPER DUPER HARD MODE There's always Haiyore! Nyaruko-san, but it's older and there may be problems (looking at you, Hastur). However, as he's a normal kid surrounded by monsters, it does have an MC that's aware of everything happening and kind of hates it and everyone involved for a long while.

Thank you for all the suggestions re: A Place Further Than the Universe. It'll probably be a while before I have a good stretch of time to watch or report back on any of them, but I'm certainly intrigued by Showa Genroku and a few others as well.

How is Iron Blooded Orphans? I haven't watched a gundam in forever. I think war in the pocket was my favorite. I liked the original gundam too.

I liked Season 1 a lot, but dropped it a bit into season 2 since it had kinda turned into a slog that lost a lot of the charm it had had at the start.

I think IBO is probably the second best Gundam ever made besides 0080 and I loved both S1 and S2. It has a very strong cast of characters and a pretty strong throughline. There's a few mildly contrived plotpoints and one character whose entire concept is a bit weird, but besides that I loved it a lot. Great ending, too.

I think S2 is a bit better than S1 but not by much - the worst in terms of writing happens very early on in S1 and it only lasts for about two episodes (the episode after that middling arc is IMO very good so I didn't really mind the other two). The action is great, too.

Azran posted:If I liked Toradora, what else should I check out? I've heard good things about Kaguya-Sama: Love is War. Kaguya-sama is fantastic but it's more skit comedy than actual romcom, it has only the barest outline of an actual plot. If you want something more serialized, I enjoyed Lovely Complex and Ore Monogatari. They're both lighter in tone than Toradora, though; my knowledge of the genre is pretty limited so I can't think of much that has that specific mix of comedy and serious drama. On the other hand if skit comedy is what you're actually after all along, there's Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun. Tuxedo Catfish fucked around with this message at 19:53 on Apr 22, 2021 |

Lovely Complex was great, but I felt it went on about 6 episodes too long. The chemistry is great, but the scenario structure gets repetitive after a while.

Since I'm GMing the tabletop RPG Lancer, I was curious about 'mecha' anime that have the mechs be relatively small? Code Geass Knightmares or smaller, generally. Roughly the size of the smaller mechs in the Titanfall video games. Bonus for politics and HORRORS OF WAR mixed in with the WOW COOL ROBOT parts. Ideally should have both HORRORS OF WAR moments as well as WOW COOL ROBOT, but the important thing here is small bots. Tall as a house.

Roughly the size of the smaller mechs in the Titanfall video games. oh also, possibly Eureka Seven. The bots are somewhat large, the main mech, the Nirvash, transforms into a futuristic space-car-type vehicle, so it's not THAT big. But it's an utterly ridiculous setting that somehow is still kept fairly grounded, you have sky-surfing robots but they explain all that stuff well. The characters are weird, quirky, fun, and mostly down to earth. Great visuals, PHENOMENAL music, a good story, some fantastic animation by BONES studio, and Renton and Eureka have a good relationship together. The OPs are so good too, DAYS and Shonen Heart are wonderful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOE4Qfans9M&hd=1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2LXIWkzRUE&hd=1 just maybe don't watch anything E7 beyond the original series.

Roughly the size of the smaller mechs in the Titanfall video games. Comedy option: read Gantz manga because it goes Kafka-barfing-absinthe-in-your-hair insane around the time powerarmor/mecha show up. Fair warning though: the author is relentlessly horny, which can be hilarious and/or offputting in juxtaposition with all the violence and horror ('of war' and otherwise) so your mileage may vary.

GITS - SAC has a fair bit of the tiny Tachikoma spider mech / tank things, think SUV sized. They were used pretty cleverly in some parts.

Beyond just VOTOMS you're also looking for much of Ryosuke Takahashi's robot anime in general; VOTOMS has the broadest expanded universe and most material associated with it but e.g. Dougram will go a lot heavier on the politics where VOTOMS kind of jumps around subgenres on an arc-to-arc basis.
