EDIT: Also I think "Baccano!" would make a good intro show, though I have absolutely no idea what genre you'd put that in. On that note, we also might want to point to where things are streaming legally because IIRC some anime companies have YouTube channels where you can watch their catalog series free either subbed or dubbed.

Yeah, it'd be nice if there was perhaps a general "These legal Streaming/simulcasting services exist" page (perhaps with a general description of stuff like what you get for free vs paid accounts on each?), and maybe a tab on each series with "you can stream this legally on the following site(s):"

5cm per second was where a lot of people realized that Shinkai was able to really only tell one type of story.

He's only made like 5 things, it's ok to have a theme.

I did something wrong when I made the Redline page. It doesn't show up in its categories. This wiki thing is harder than it looks.

Not sure what you mean, I see it in the Action, Sci-Fi, Sports, and Anime (Movie) pages just fine.

Okay, I don't know then. Maybe it's a buffering thing on my PC. It's no big deal anyway.

You should swap out Prince of Tennis in sports manga for something like Haikyuu!! though.

Either that or Baby Steps. I would lean more towards Baby Steps.

Also, it's weird to me that Akagi is listed under sports anime in the new to anime rec list. It would make more sense in the Psychological section, imo.

What's the Taiwanese manga about the demons, etc? The title is "something something messanger". Like "Holy Messenger" or something. It's in full color. It begins with a king fighting against the gods because he's tired of paying them tribute. He is killed, but his son lives on and learns to fight, blah, blah. It's pretty popular, but I can't remember the name.

Should never be recommended for anything. Ever.

Oh!Great would be fine if he just stuck to drawing (which he is excellent at) as he clearly can't write for crap.

I think Air Gear starts off alright and it is not a bad concept, it is just awful at the end (okay, maybe at the middle too, that series is just too long).

Is it worth watching Mobile Suit Gundam from the beginning?

If you must blink, do it now.
You mean like the entire franchise, or just going back to that one first as an introduction before watching what you feel like?

Because it's absolutely not worth attempting the former.

the original series is good, but suffers from occasionally very bad animation and obvious concessions to toymakers. The compilation movies are generally seen as the superior way to experience it. Zeta is very good, and has aged surprisingly well, animation wise. ZZ is more arguable, but i enjoyed it. CCA is quite divisive, but it's also just a movie so if you've watched up to that point you might as well go on. 0080 is fantastic, and one of the best things out of the franchise. F91 is beautiful but tells a very basic story. 0083 is beautiful but tells an absolutely idiotic story.

"Being drunk is the worst feeling of all. Except for all those other feelings."
I remember watching an anime many many years back that around 3/4 through the series, there was a warning which stated something to the effect of "If you don't want a depressing ending, stop here and consider this the ending. You have been warned" and the last few episodes just go off the rails.

Anyone have any idea what series this is??
