i feel like there's still one or two a season, ignoring quality/if they're just selling trucks to kids

Maybe it’s fair to say there hasn’t been a good one in a real long while. We had lots of fun mecha shows in the 00s, some huge ones really too like ttgl and code geass. It’s just my bias but while we do get shows there hasn’t been a big breakout, and a loooot of shows with potential that took a fat poo poo. Star driver, aldnoah zero, valvrave. The best mech stuff has been remakes and sequels (rebuild, gundam). I’m sure something will come out that breaks the streak but I can see feeling a bit bittersweet when watching ttgl, what should have been a start and not a swan song (and gainax disintegrating just a couple years later, yeesh)

granbelm was super recent and was a fairly unique take with some cool aesthetics and character writing, rinne no lagrange was much earlier in the 2010s and had some kinda lame jokes but was pretty solid overall, cross ange has a very messy first few eps and its main romance stuff is a bit weak but at its core it's a pretty fun ride with a great cast, if you wanna count gridman it totally outshines franxx among trigger shows, and planet with was one of the coolest things satoshi mizukami's written in a while. it's not booming but i'm not at a complete loss of mecha anime from the last decade i can say i enjoyed about as much as the classics. none of them had mecha action spectacle on par with ttgl but what the gently caress does, ttgl was an animation superteam showcase

gridman and planet with are two of my fav mecha series and they're less than 3 years old so i feel crazy whenever people talk about there not having been a good one in ages. those were the ones imo

I haven't heard of planet. Does Gridman get better? I saw people saying good things and remember literally nothing about the two episodes I watched.

the first two eps are pretty bogstandard, it gets more interesting/exploratory as it goes. planet with is very fun but its also a mile a minute since its trying to cram a lot into 13 eps. not in a bad way, just a thing.

Endorph posted:i mean, ibo isnt a sequel really, i guess its part of a franchise but its very different from any previous gundam series and got a very young fanbase who hadnt seen any other gundam series before it. I didn't say it was bad or anything, just that it's part of a franchise.

The person who lived in my last house before me had a package delivered there like months after I moved in and I repeatedly tried contacting them about it. I even matched with them on Tinder and asked them if they wanted their drat package and then they ghosted me. Turns out it was this https://www.amazon.com/Neoliberalism-Introduction-Manfred-B-Steger/dp/019956051X

whats a good anime if i want to see a lot of different powers and people getting more powerful Hunter x Hunter was my last anime and I've also watched My Hero Academia but my overall watch list is miniscule

You might check out Bungo Stray Dogs, it's more on the "lots of different powers" side since every character has a unique ability tied to the author they're based on and the designs are all pretty fun. It's more of an ensemble show with established characters in their prime rather than having a singular main character getting power-ups but the primary audience POV character does get stronger as the story progresses.

Bungo has a guy whose power is that he’s immune to bombs, but only if they’re lemon-shaped.

I think I'm going to try Bungo first. Thanks for the reccs

What are some anime with fights as well done as the ones in jujutsu kaisen? With it ending soon I'll really be hurting for those sick anime fights Honestly I kinda wish I had a list of all the "animation showcase" animes in general. Sometimes I just really want to appreciate some well done animation

With it ending soon I'll really be hurting for those sick anime fights i don't give blanket recommendations of Fire Force usually, because it has a character whose sole purpose is to be the butt of sexual harassment jokes and it just sucks the life out of every scene she's in. like even just beyond being kind of offensive they'll drop that poo poo into 100% deadly serious scenes and undercut the mood completely but it's really well-animated

Boba Pearl posted:OH it has to be dubbed too. Still Hunter x Hunter? Ok so I finished Hunter x Hunter or at least all the dubbed episodes, and I realize I didn't have as much free time as I thought, lol it took me a year to watch everything. (There were breaks for always sunny, archer, MH:A and a few others,) do you guys / gals / pals have any other good suggestions now that I'm done with that one? I really, really liked Hunter x Hunter

If you don't mind something much shorter this time around, but still very fun and well-dubbed then my vote goes to Baccano!
