10.15.21 | I disliked anime for 20 years of my life, enjoyed it for last year for the first time, now I'm back to disliking it. Only series I would go back and watch again would be Death Note and Hellsing Ultimate. They're about the only two I could watch with my dad and not feel like a total disappointment. |
Koris
10.15.21 | I'm still currently going through my giant One Piece manga/anime adventure... currently on the Zou arc, which by now is a metric fuck-ton of episodes and chapters. Still enjoying it though! And I should be caught up with everyone else within the next month or so if I keep pushing through it |

My god it's so goddamn massive |

10.15.21 | Bruh, hit the original Legend of the Galactic Heroes |
Devastator
10.15.21 | King of the Hill is the only anime you need. |
Slex
10.15.21 | Watch Trese on Netflix. It doesn't have the psychological weight of something like Lain but it does have a grimy and distinct atmosphere with some truly nightmarish visuals without just resorting to mindless gore. It's a good'un |

10.15.21 | You want psychological? Have you seen any of Satoshi Kon's films like Perfect Blue or Paprika? If not, those are amazing. Made in Abyss is a killer series w/ some tangentially psychological moments as well. |
Shuyin
10.15.21 | Something similar to Lain and Ergo proxy would be Texhnolyze, it's eerie and dreamlike, fucking loved it. Shigurui is also pretty damn good but it's based on feudal Japan and sadly didn't get a season 2.. still a great show, the art and music are top notch |
CalculatingInfinity
10.15.21 | I'm on a Ling binge too rn, nice. I'm watching Odd Taxi atm, good stuff. |
Dedes
10.15.21 | @shuyin
I've heard of that, especially in correlation to Ergo Proxy and sometimes Psycho Pass. I'll definitely check it soon. |
botb
10.15.21 | Wait psycho pass is back?
Also my two current favorites other than the obvious picks are devilman crybaby and paranoia agent, can’t recommend them enough but also probably not back to back because they’re both pretty soul crushing |
MiloRuggles
10.15.21 | I'll second Texhnolyze. I have very similar taste to thee
(S-tier = Serial Experiments Lain, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Ergo Proxy, Ghost in the Shell (first movie, second's alright, series sucks), Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Texhnolyze) |

10.16.21 | @botb
Yeah, apparently a third season came out towards the end of 2019. Afaik it doesn't involve the original cast as heavily however. |

10.16.21 | 5 is the shit! |
Madbutcher3
10.16.21 | texhnolyze is good once it picks up a bit plot wise but i think the start is a bit of a drag
also wtf milo GitS:SAC is amazing |
Slex
10.16.21 | @Rabid I love Dorehedoro so so much |
MiloRuggles
10.16.21 | Haha butcher we're destined for disagreement. I prefer the first half of texhnolyze and I hate the light hearted nature of SAC |
Shuyin
10.16.21 | SAC is my all time favourite anime show. The original movie is up there with Akira imo, it's just that good |
Madbutcher3
10.16.21 | fair i kinda like that it's basically a sci-fi police procedural |
Dedes
10.17.21 | Watching Texhnolyze
Its um, a bit confusing thus far but it's a similar experience I've had with Lain which is a borderline masterpiece so imma be patient
Definitely love the atmosphere and art style, very dark and muted. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
10.17.21 | just watch Tekkonkinkreet, its a movie not a show but once you watch that you can pretty much just stop watching anime altogether because everything else is worse |
Shuyin
10.17.21 | Yea man! It's from Madhouse so the animation kicks all the ass. Not gonna spoil anything for you, hope you dig |
Keyblade
10.17.21 | i remember watching Akame Ga Kill many years ago and it was wack. put me off finding new anime for a while |
Dedes
10.17.21 | Tekkokinkreet sounds like something I'd dig
I'll definitely get to it uhh sometime
Tbh once I finish Texhnolyze I know imma want to binge the hell out of Psycho Pass haha
@keyblade it definitely embodies some of the more negative anime tropes but there's something that to me is just very enjoyably innocent and wholesome about most of the protagonists. The enemy's are a bit irritating since I've always hated the whole mindless sociopath trope. I feel like a true villain should feel like a genuine human being rather than some obnoxious 16 year old with a boner for decapitation. |
bgillesp
10.17.21 | Tekkonkinkreet is top tier, can confirm |
Keyblade
10.17.21 | dedes yea it was the tropes that put me off and I can't lie the protagonists were growing on me and I remember a lot of them being killed off before they had a chance to properly develop. whole show just felt hollow, like a boilerplate of a bunch of things that anime fans like with no real meat to it |
Dedes
10.18.21 | Dude I was so fucking pissed when bro died lmao
Big gay dude with the Jojo hair
Such a wonderfully sweet character who had an admittedly honorable death but it just felt..too short. A lot of the arcs did tbh
Honestly I think it could have been an amazing anime had it even 10 or 12 more episodes to flesh out the protagonists. I still love it as is but it could've been A tier imo
Also if they removed that Mr.Styles guy
That would also be an improvement |
Dedes
11.01.21 | I finished Texnholyze
I want to curl up and die
Goddamn what a dismal anime |
CalculatingInfinity
11.01.21 | Y'all overhyped Tekkonkinkreet; it's unique but it did not hit me on any emotional basis. |
Flugmorph
11.01.21 | can we get a quick ejaculatory prayer for the mal sputnik group i created 5 years ago |
Dedes
11.25.21 | I watched a few episodes of Devilman Crybaby and let me say I am shocked by the number of stripper titty demons
A lot of confused boners have risen thus far |
Shuyin
11.25.21 | Since we're bumping an anime thread, what do you all think about the new Cowboy Bebop LA? I've only seen a few clips and it looked horrible |
Flugmorph
11.26.21 | its not anime so i won't talk about it here :3 |
bgillesp
11.27.21 | I’ve seen the still frame from the final showdown and it looked so cringe that I won’t try watching it. But I’ll be honest, I had high hopes for it being one of the most likely to translate well into live action. Anyone seem the live action Alice in Borderlands? I was wanting to read that manga but haven’t yet and wondered if the live action was any good |

JohnnyoftheWell
01.27.22 | honey the movie is still in cinemas and its domestic popularity is probs the most visible of any anime excluding old franchise shit like pokemon rn
they're probs working on subtitling it for the benefit of your square dumb ass at this very minute i promise |
Flugmorph
01.27.22 | nah demon slayer is way more popular what are you on about
|
JohnnyoftheWell
01.27.22 | demon slayer hype peaked last year. jujutsu isn't on the same level as that reached at the time, but i see as much or maybe slightly more shit marketed with it and more people repping/talking about it
unless you're talking about, like, actual anime communities in which case lol idk |
JohnnyoftheWell
01.27.22 | you've made me remember what it was like working with kids during peak kimetsu fever though, fuck me. i don't even hate the show or anything (probs like a 7/10ish), but that whole phase feels like buried trauma now
also remembering that i gotta get on season 2 hmmmm |
