-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. No Game No Life might qualify, if you don't mind the overall tone being super upbeat rather than serious.

quote:Legend of the Galactic Heroes Extremely good, but also a pretty massive time investment. It's also very focused on politics over action. quote:Neon Genesis Evangelion Very overrated imo. Also really emotionally draining/depressing. quote:Code Geass It's pretty good, I'd definitely say watch it seeing what else you like. quote:One Piece (often recommended because I love Naruto, watched a few eps to the first boss fight, liked it enough, but didn't feel the pull to continue) I'd very much recommend reading the manga rather than watch the anime. I had the same problem with the anime quote:Bleach (watched a few eps, but couldn't get into it) It only goes downhill massively from the beginning, so if you didn't like it then, you won't like it later. quote:tengen toppa gurren lagann (watched 1-2 few eps, couldn't get into it) TTGL keeps getting more and more intense as it goes. It also starts out a good bit different than it ends up, so I'd definitely recommend giving it another chance.

Linnaeus posted:I'm looking for an anime with a great main character duo. The characters are cool on their own but the show gets really good whenever they're on screen interacting with each other. Some examples would be sousuke & chidori, isaac & miria, kurisu & okabe, and gon & killua. Basically, two characters with an interesting relationship that's fun to watch. Spice and Wolf and Toradora are pretty good for that.

The Devil is a Part Timer is also really good, but that's modern Japan with some people from a fantasy world. Spice and Wolf is also great if you don't mind the setting being really low magic and the main character being just a regular merchant. Jinrui wa Suitaishimashita is technically sci-fi, but really closer to fantasy. AnoHito fucked around with this message at 10:08 on Oct 4, 2016 |

I honestly don't really like Euphonium so far and am mostly watching it for the insanely good animation. This might be because it reminds me of how insufferable the band nerds were at my high school though, so feel free to ignore my opinion.

ninjewtsu posted:My understanding of the situation is that the re:zero anime was incredibly popular, meaning there's a lot of demand for a second season, but the first season actually cut a ton of content. Content that wasn't very important to the material covered in season 1, but is absolutely critical to a potential season 2, which makes the prospect of a second season actually being made somewhat difficult. I thought people were saying it generally followed the LNs pretty closely (though not the WNs), with a few minor things that could easily be moved around/dropped cut out. The main thing about it is apparently this first season was in production for like a year and a half or something in order to carefully pull off what they did, so season two might take a while...

ninjewtsu posted:To get this thread a bit more on topic: what are some good animes that are packed full of really intense emotion? Something along the lines of gundam thunderbolt, the king arc of hunter x hunter, or attack on titan? Like, an anime that hits you in the face with a sledgehammer of raw emotion every episode? I'm not 100% sure how articulate it better than that but something along the lines of the shows I mentioned Watch TTGL if you haven't already, a ton of emotion all over the place in every direction in that one.

AfricanBootyShine posted:Ok, I've binged 12 eps of Hunter x Hunter and it's definitely not what I'm looking for. It's enjoyable, and I really like the characters, but there's too much wasted time with the arcs. I can't put my finger on it, but it's got what I hate most about Naruto/DBZ/Bleach, where stories that could be told in one episode are stretched across three, and the story/humor aren't good enough to make up for it. Just man up and watch Gintama already. It's literally exactly what you're looking for. Failing at that, Beelzebub is pretty good. E: Also note that the original Dragonball and Dragonball Z are two entirely different things. AnoHito fucked around with this message at 14:22 on Jan 14, 2017 |

I don't think I've ever seen anything else master dramatic tension like that.

GiantDutchman posted:I've come back to watching anime after not for some 10-15 years. A lot of what I click on is often not memorable and I'll try to watch it again some months later. Things I've liked are Attack on Titan, Legend of the Legendary Heroes, and Seven Deadly Sins. Things I remover enjoying from before are Record of the Lodoess War, Ushio and Tora, Kimagure Orange Road, Bubblegum Crisis, Riding Bean, Heroic Legend of Areslan, Ninja Scroll, and others. Are there any shows now that have that older style? The boobs in the new ones have gotten quite ridiculous. Thanks If you haven't checked out the Jojo anime yet, that would probably be a good idea.

ninjewtsu posted:asking for a friend: what are some good animes that are depressing, but in a fantastical kind of way? like, she likes neon genesis evangelion and madoka magicka, but not something as "real" as gundam thunderbolt? if that makes sense? she also really likes terror in resonance, if that helps. Gakkou Gurashi should be pretty good for that, if you tell them to make sure to finish the first episode. I'll also second Penguindrum as a show that manages to both be super dark/depressing, yet bizarrely cheerful and upbeat at the same time.

To that end, I'd throw in Concrete Revolutio, Steins;Gate, No Game No Life, and Angel Beats.

Srice posted:It's odd to single out Chihayafuru as the only good sports anime. A lot of it plays out in line with traditions of the genre, it just happens to be a very solid execution of said traditions. For one, I thought Chihayafuru plays out more like a shoujo anime than a sports anime. For two, other sports anime never seems to really capture what I like about sports. They tend to just put some random sport in, maybe do some research into it, and say "well that should be good enough." Chihayafuru actually managed to capture that feeling. As opposed to most sports anime that, to me, feel like watching a less interesting shounen battle anime, it brought back memories of being out on the mat wrestling. It's similar to the reason why I think Remember the Titans was trash but that The Blindside and The Longest Yard were both excellent.

Don't watch Chaika, or if you do, remember to skip the last episode to save yourself. Also the Mob Psycho anime looks absolutely fantastic visually. It's one of the show's main strengths. I'd also throw in Samurai Champloo, KonoSuba, Katanagatari, and FLCL if you haven't seen them already.

Open Source Idiom posted:Speaking as someone who loved: FLCL and Mawaru Penguindrum both seem right up your alley. FLCL is made by the same studio as Eva and Gurren Lagann, and has a lot of the better elements of both of those show, condensed down to 6 episodes. Penguindrum is a show by the guy who made Utena, and starts as a sort of light comedy, but with a hint of creeping darkness, until the entire facade of light-heartedness collapses away piece by piece. From your list, you'll almost definitely really like Kaiji, which is pretty much the instant before you pull the trigger in a game of Russian Roulette crystallized and made into an anime.
