watched the following today:

Otherside Picnic has a great premise and I like the characters but I'm not sure if it works yet? I'm still pretty hype for it tho


the lns are extremely fun. the author is a huge internet/urban legends dork and goes out of their way to even cite specific 2ch threads for inspiration



also very serious about the main characters being gay

it's very top heavy. there's definitely a huge gap between like Giant Robo, Evangelion, Ghibli stuff, Cowboy Bebop, Kawajiri's work, Mamoru Oshii's stuff, Utena, Lain, LOGH, Berserk, the good sports/comedy/slice of life stuff on the one hand and then like...everything else that has been entirely dustbinned

you ever think about the fact that LOGH was an OVA and was sold in like 25 episode chunks for nearly $700 a pop. 2500 yen an episode! a steal!

i refuse to watch a lupin dub where he doesnt use the term fujicakes

the pioneer dub is legit so good, the only thing i dont like about it is shoehorning in modern refs. i dont need to hear jigen talk about ebay. i'm sure there was a tough/way too old joke they translated it to but they went the wrong direction with it

I think it's because when it came out there was the thing about it saving anime and being a game changer or whatever but instead of something like say cowboy bebop, it was just horny annoying cringeworthy ultra anime poo poo that a vocal contingent of anime fans couldn't shut the gently caress up about

its fine. action anime made by trigger. no idea what people expect out of it

bumping "planetes" again; its about space garbage men. it definitely can be a bit...overly silly in moments, but the whole thing is an excellent view of capitalism and imperialism and is good hard space sci-fi. its really worth a full viewing cuz the ending is incredible


anyone got any recommendations for things to watch with this vibe and style? its exactly up my alley

i've already seen some: like cowboy bebop and stand alone complex, but i would love to explore more.

the original ghost in the shell movie (pls dont watch 2.0 it adds horribly ugly cgi), 0080 war in the pocket, the original patlabor ova + the first two movies (imo the rest is worth skipping)

macross plus would also be good, another ova/movie depending on what you want directed by watanabe before he did cowboy bebop, you can really see all of the seeds for it in it. its set after the original macross series and doesnt require any knowledge of the franchise, but also macross DYRL is one of the most amazingly animated movies ever also

thanks for the replies

i've actually seen the original macross and i can tell you that, just like minmay, my boyfriend is also a pilot

keep the recs coming: good animation, action and that oh so unique japanese feel for tech, society, and nature

less action-y/future-y, but Paranoia Agent does it for a lot of my friends who arent into anime

you should all watch wonder egg priority if you’re after some serious business depression and suicide currently airing content that looks really nice


like that dark souls boss spidergirl, girl up top spider carapace down below, or like your friendly neighborhood spoderman?

because honestly the first 5 seconds or so of the ed is a good portrayal of how spiders scuttle really fast and i find it satisfying to watch and i’ll be sad to lose the spider gimmick

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eciJ-ercyPU

also the small enka interlude is fun

even if the spider gimmick goes (it prob wont this season based on the LNs) you still have aoi yuuki
