miggles · Post by **miggles** » Fri May 02, 2014 6:25 am #3247

i would like to clarify that i love anime and am not like these nerds that have only watched gurren lagann
its still my favorite though

Quey · Post by **Quey** » Fri May 02, 2014 6:43 am #3250

I love space westerns (Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star), some mecha stuff (Evangelion, Gurren Lagann), and a smattering of other things like Ghost in the Shell, Samurai Champloo, Stein's;Gate, Planetes, Serial Experiments Lain, and Nichijou. Those are the favorites I'd recommend to most people.
Have a rant.

Spoiler:

Yeah I don't go for that kawaii for the sake of kawaii stuff, but I don't know what you mean by 2edgy4u. Example?

miggles · Post by **miggles** » Fri May 02, 2014 7:20 am #3258

2edgy4u would honestly apply to most of that shounen stuff.
never seen planetes or lain, or outlaw star, but the rest of that list is pretty good
i have gits on hold and im watching champloo. gits is alright and i acknowledge its quality, i just havent gotten into it; champloo im not totally sold on because i really dont like mugen, but im gonna keep watching.

Quey · Post by **Quey** » Fri May 02, 2014 7:47 am #3261

Thinking about it, Serial Experiments Lain may be one of those edgy things. I mean, I really like it, but it's one of those shows about questioning reality to the point where some scenes are more about conveying an impression than an idea, if that makes sense. I still think it does it very well and is an interesting experience, but it's probably the least "accessible" thing of the bunch.
Planetes is great in that it's probably the most realistic representation of space travel of anything I've seen across all fiction, and it's got a nice plot to boot. I love the flow of GitS, the setting, and again the realism in the combat. It's not all flashy moves and super lucky main characters, but gritty combat that flows from the cool tech where things actually get blown apart with consequences. The music helps, too; not overdramatic or out of place. I saw the films before the series, so you could try that to dive in.
As for Champloo, Mugen's not my favorite character either, but the series has a lot more to offer. O' course, there are a lot of anime that I love that have characters that I absolutely hate (Feiris in Stein's;Gate, Asuka in Evangelion) but in the end make it work.

miggles · Post by **miggles** » Fri May 02, 2014 8:18 am #3262

Faris and Asuka are definitely not my go-to "do not like" characters in those shows; I honestly can't think of a character I dislike in S;G, but as for NGE, Shinji is definitely one of the least likeable protagonists from anything I've read or watched. I don't really want to extrapolate too hard on why, since there's tons and tons of angry rants on the internet defining why Shinji is so annoying - NOT a bad character, but any means - just unlikeable.
Everyone in NGE is fucked up in the head, but while Asuka is mostly abusive (and then later a little despondent) and Rei is all kuudere, Shinji is just an annoying, whiny little bitch with some serious social issues and pent-up sadness and hatred, like a nice little psychological shit sandwich.

Quey · Post by **Quey** » Fri May 02, 2014 8:45 am #3264

I can understand that, and certainly while Shinji isn't the most likable character, I feel more sympathy for him than Asuka. She is generally treated well and is shown to be competent at a few things, but Shinji's got her problems plus he's good at nothing and only listens to a single cassette tape for fun. As for Faris, I just get really annoyed with her playing her character all the time and it's hard to take her seriously when she wants to be taken seriously. But that's just me, and there are plenty of good reasons to like both of these characters. I'm just making the point that one hated character doesn't necessarily ruin a series, nor, as you said, is a hated character necessarily a BAD character as long as they are well fleshed out and interesting.

On another note I just started watching Cromartie High School. That is some weird stuff. Pretty funny, but confusing at the same time.

Out of the anime I've watched I liked Full metal alchemist: Brotherhood the most.

Wat. I assume you've at least heard of Pokemon or Dragonball, neither of which are about school, or some of the other ones I've mentioned. Beyond that, there are few that actually deal with high school problems as their main plot. A good number of them are "I'm a high school student but I transform into a crime fighting robot/witch/animal/motorcycle/burrito".
And Fullmetal is one of those things where I love the concept, but the series gets bogged down with shounen garbage.

Rumia29 · Post by **Rumia29** » Fri May 02, 2014 8:54 pm #3373

Is this our new anime thread? If not, we should probably make one.
I guess if I'd had to pick a favorite at gunpoint, it'd probably be Code Geass. It has a very interesting story/concept. Although the reason why I'd pick it as my favorite is because it's one of those series that I have a lot of fond memories, since it was one of the first anime I watched, that I KNEW was an anime.
Runner up is Steins;Gate.

Clannad.

captain sawrge · Mon May 05, 2014 12:44 am

Either Katanagatari or Tatami Galaxy.
Gurren Lagann still holds a very special place in my heart.
It's been said a million times but Cowboy Bebop is high up there too.

Only one I've ever really watched outside the mainstream ones of Pokemon/Digimon/Dragon Ball (x) etc is Girls Und Panzer. Good shit.

DBZ is the best.

Last Exile pushed all my buttons with its premise alone. Of the handful animes that I watched, I love it the most.

I liked the first Fullmetal Alchemist as well, but Brotherhood's pacing felt more like an "in previous episodes" retelling (which it was) than an actual story, to the point where the only twists that made any impact were things that didn't happen in the first series (like Roy burning one of the important characters alive). And then mysterious chinese alchemists arrived and things got even worse. I just dropped it after the, admittedly, pretty interesting story recap episode with Ed's and Al's dad.

Skorvold · Post by **Skorvold** » Sun May 11, 2014 1:10 am #5051

Last Exile was great, I watched it planning on making fun of it with my friend, in the end it was a good show.

FLCL is probably one of the best anime's as a coherent whole. DBZ and Gurren Lagann can be really awesome piecemeal. Although each have really, really, REALLY lame moments along with badass ones.

For the best I'd probably vote bible black.

space dandy, watamote, lupin III, and arakawa under the bridge
cowboy bebop is so god damn overrated, especially the ending. the best parts about cowboy bebop were the characters they would bring in for one episode because they were all well-made and interesting
