Dirty Pair is a cool 80s series and you can just watch Project Eden to see if you'd be interested in it since it's a cool intro to the series

Animation Runner Kuromi is also about making anime, though it's almost entirely driven by gags so it's not quite the same as Shirobako.

Dozeworthy posted:Should I watch the original Space Battleship Yamato or 2199? 2199 did a fine job at updating the original to something more palatable for modern audiences while keeping what people liked about the original, so I say go with that first unless you're interested in the series from a historical perspective.

What I watched of it seemed pretty dry and slow, though I'll readily admit I'm not a big space opera fan and I can see why that crowd eats it up.

The 2003 series is pretty solid. And it looks fantastic too since they put a lot of money and effort into its production.

Torquemadras posted:I have decided I need more mecha anime in my life. There are two timelines for Patlabor but they're only really important because one of them is directed by Oshii. That timeline is the first OVA and then the movies (Technically movie 3 is part of it too, though it was made many years later without Oshii helming it) And the other timeline is the TV series and the second OVA. OVA + the first two movies is the best way to get into the franchise. As for other shows I'm gonna recommend Shin Mazinger. It's a modern take on one of the oldest mecha around, and it's directed/written by Imagawa who had the same role with Giant Robo. While it's not as excellent as Giant Robo is, it's still a worthy show in its own right.

Early 2000s stuff has aged rather poorly in many cases since so many studios were trying out new tricks. A lot of early digital coloring is the worst, it's so garish that everything feels wrong.

The Colonel posted:diebuster and gunbuster are both cool with lots of super rad animation, i think it just comes down to preference with both of them I think I'm gonna give a cliche answer and say Akira, since there's hella detail in everything and lots of motion to boot.

Help Im Alive posted:What are the good anime movies that aren't studio ghibli/satoshi kon etc ones that everyone knows because I haven't watched many Oshii directed a bunch of cool films. Other movies that come to my mind are Akira, Mind Game and while I'm not a huge fan of the guy, Shinkai directed some movies that people quite like.

Paperhouse posted:I'm actually watching that at the moment, it's great and I am considering going to the manga to carry on with it I've only read a bit of Billy Bat but it seemed comparable to some of his best. Earlier this month there was an announcement that it's on its final arc so I've been waiting for it to end before going on a binge.

-Blackadder- posted:Have there been any recent good (I'm not sure how to describe them) Gambler/Strategy duel type animes? I'm basically talking about stuff in the same vein as Kaiji, Akagi, One Outs, and Liar Game. And while not being exactly the same I guess Death Note qualifies as well. Not anime, but the Gambling Emperor Zero manga is by the same guy behind Kaiji and Akagi so it should scratch that itch.

The first movie is a recap of the first two episodes followed by an original story so it's worth checking it out if you want more.

If length is a concern then G-Reco is a great choice since it's a manageable 26ish eps and is the best they put out since Turn A

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: Masaaki Yuasa is the director of Ping Pong and all of his stuff is like that so that sounds like a safe choice to start off with. Mind Game's an amazing choice and is still on Netflix. It's a good showcase of what he can accomplish with a movie budget, the style frequently changes and it has one of my favorite depictions of God in a visual medium; the protagonist can't possibly comprehend what God would actually look like so what he sees is something that changes its appearance at an incredibly rapid rate. Past that, Tatami Galaxy is phenomenal (and it's on Hulu) and the rest of his shows are worth checking out but you'll have to resort to fansubs for those.

There's so much money lying on the table that the original series and EoE will be license rescued at some point, but until then there's no shame in pirating the blurays.

Neddy Seagoon posted:I'm really surprised NGE hasn't gotten a Blu-Ray release in recent years, especially with the Rebuild Movies coming out. It did! It's just not (legally) available in English. I'm sure Funimation would love to get the rights to it but considering the clusterfuck with 3.33 it sounds like those deals are rough to say the least.

The Devil Tesla posted:I would also not be shocked if Funimation has a rights to the awesome Eva blu-rays but is sitting on it for whatever reason. They've been open about how the Rebuilds sold incredibly well for them, so if they do have the rights I'd place money on the Japanese side of things bogging it down. They'd want to tell everyone it's coming as soon as they're able.

The Aim For the Ace movie is pretty cool, I wouldn't put it on par with Ping Pong by any means but like Ping Pong it gets quite creative with its visual direction.

Megachile posted:I had a couple of years where I watched a bunch of anime and had a list of things I thought were really incredible from the medium. But for whatever reason I haven't watched anything new (other than Mushishi S2 and new Ghibli films) in a few years, and presumably there's a bunch of great new stuff out there. Since you didn't bring up Ping Pong I'm gonna assume you haven't seen it. You should watch Ping Pong, as it shares the same director as Tatami Galaxy so I figure that's the best place to start for recent anime given the titles you named.

If you mean the villain reveal then yeah that's around when a bunch of problems cropped up for me and the rest of the series became a lot less interesting as a result. I don't feel the ending is terrible per se but it could have been so much better.

Tuxedo Catfish posted:So when Pavlov says "it's a good show if you can get past that it's about sports" I'm like, yeah it's stupid to dismiss a great show because you're a nerd and didn't do sports in high school and don't care, but I think he knows that too and that's why he's saying it. There are too many people that genuinely throw shade at sports anime in this manner for me to give anyone the benefit of the doubt.

As someone who has watched a bunch of sports anime that metaphor doesn't really describe them at all because there are always plenty of characters with desires and dreams outside of one sport they like to play, even the people that want to make a living doing said sport.

unpronounceable posted:Have there been any noteworthy dubs released in the past few years? Panty and Stocking is pretty much the best, the Toradora dub is just really solid, and GitS Arise was good, even if Mary Elizabeth McGlynn wasn't voicing the Major. Are there any others that people have found notable? I know Funimation has been turning out a lot with their simuldubs, but I haven't heard much about those one way or the other. Space Dandy is probably one of the best dubs in quite awhile, it really helped that they were able to have more cooperation than usual with the show.
