Antlions posted:Thanks, I'll be sure to check them all out. Pre-90's is kind of just a big hole in my viewing experience, so I've got a bit of catching up to do. it is for a lot of people!! dont sweat it though a lot of stuff is really good and a lot of stuff is bad but holds sentimental value for people. the 80s were a fascinating time because the bubble economy at the time allowed for studios to be incredibly prolific, ambitious, and experimental without really having to worry about returns and profit percentages

Zas posted:beautiful dreamer has such a huge place in my heart, and is another great example of death threats being the sign of S Class anime. assuming you are talking about ghost in the shell you absolutely need to watch the movies as soon as possible. it's interesting that he is meh on the movies - i am the complete opposite. i think sac is a boring procedural show made a mite more interesting with a cyberpunk sheen but the movies like all the best oshii movies are haunting meditations on metaphysics and specifically ontology. i think innocence is even better than the original. i have not read their collaboration, but i will look into it as soon as possible. aim for the ace is absolutely essential too and you should watch it when you get a chance. smoking crow is doing an 80s shonen simulwatch where he was planning on doing 3 episodes of important 80s shonen shows. i'd be interested in doing an 80s simulwatch that covers stuff everyone else isn't planning (which still gives a lot of options but some of the best 80s material is being taken care of.) also sakurazuka is doing a good job with his movie thread which is mining similar territory. once things settle down i will take a look at what i would consider "important" that isn't covered by any of these things. cheers

i think i'm the one that recommended it to you in the haruhi thread. hi. i would say at least finish bake. nise takes the stuff you're not really feeling, cranks it up to 11 and breaks the knob off. it's gratuitous and gross to the point of absurdity, where it almost comes off like an autocritique. i dunno, though. there are lots of ways to read it, i'm sure. it's probably my least favorite of all of them and it's sort of a necessary evil to get to neko/season 2 both of which are excellent

Captain Invictus posted:There's a manga called Dragons Rioting that's a cross between that and ranma saotome, in that you've got a pro martial arts kid trained in the mountains by his father his whole life but he's got a terminal illness where he goes into heart failure if he gets too aroused. He applies to some special all male martial arts school but oh no its actually all female! And they're all scantily clad martial artist badasses!! So he has to survive his daily school life both because of martial arts violence as well as avoiding pantyshots!!! that sounds fun but im illiterate

yes watch patlabor. ova and then the movies. the tv series takes place in a different chronology and is more supplementary than necessary but it's good too. i haven't watched the new files or the third movie so someone else can speak for those. also watch gunbuster and diebuster.

Sarrisan posted:I just finished Hunter-x-Hunter the other day and I'm surprised how much I enjoyed it. It was my first very long series, and also my first straight-shonen. Can anyone recommend another longish series that I might have overlooked for being too mainstream? I gave Fairy Tail the 1-episode treatment and was not very impressed. yuyu hakusho naturally. it's not as fully realized as hxh and some of it can feel like a trial run for things that are better executed in hxh but it's worth a watch if you haven't. fist of the north star and jojo's otherwise. dragonball if you haven't watched it for some reason. ranma 1/2 is neat but you don't need to watch all of it because after all the characters are introduced it mostly just recycles. yakitate!! japan takes shonen fighting tropes and transposes them to baking bread. its only 69 episodes though. but yeah if you're interested in these types of shows you're better off just reading the manga than slogging through their 100+ episode adaptations especially in the days of 12/13/14 episode cours. they're timesinks and good if you're unemployed or whatever

Y Kant Ozma Diet posted:I just watched the original Ghost in the Shell movie and really enjoyed it. What else in the series is worth watching? i love innocence but it elaborates on the deliberate pace, constant philosophizing, and overall mood of the first, rather than focusing on the procedural aspects. sac is definitely better if you prefer the latter, but i'm not a big fan. i realize i'm in the minority here. if you like the movies just watch all of oshii's other stuff.

it's not as good as the movie but it's very entertaining and well done. i would say the only real downside to it is that it's extremely episodic, almost to the point that one could watch the episodes out of broadcast order and it wouldn't matter at all. it's also (obviously) a bit methodical and deliberate - it mostly just follows duke around from job to job. its great if you just want to watch a badass be suitably badass for 25 minutes at a time.

i picked up the first volume of monster at barnes and noble the other day and i read six or seven chapters and i was hooked and plan to continue it. the problem is that i realized later on its like 150+ chapters and it seems like a pretty drastic undertaking. i'm already worried about my visual media consumption habits as is and don't need to add to them. i guess what i'm looking for is manga recommendations for similar things that aren't as lengthy. doesn't *need* to be psychological drama/horror. i'd prefer seinen i suppose but i don't really care about demographic distinctions. i don't know anything about the technical aspects of comics the way i do with movies/tv and can pretty much be sold on the goodwill of the storytelling alone some other stuff i plan on reading but have put on the backburner: berserk, all other urasawa, all fukamoto

Nude posted:Hi I'm looking for a type of anime that does creative/weird things with the medium. Things like Ping Pong, Nichijou, anything by Satoshi Kon (Paprika). That's pretty much all I have as an example though. When I say creative I mean like interesting camera shots, or playing with different mediums (charcoal, watercolor), or weird cuts between scenes. stuff like this: adolescence of utena but it basically requires watching the series as a prerequisite to make sense of the narrative
