looking for new anime recommendations

[cruising for burgers]

There's a movie from 2017 called the dragon dentist which is directed by the same guy who created FLCL and directed evangelion together with Hideaki Anno...

In case you haven't seen it Serial Experiments Lain is the IDM of anime so you'd probably be into that

Jojo pt. 5 is absolutely amazing so far, will the series ever be surpassed holy shit.

 

Watching Darling In The Franxx and loving it. It's like a 2018 NGE with a vaporwavey feel. Animation sometimes a bit too 'cartoonish' for my taste.

 

Just finished Mob Psycho 100 - Season 2 and it was as great as the first one.

 

Boku No Hero Academia total shitshow, I dont get the appeal. First two seasons were boring, third made me finally drop it.

 

Also tried Zombieland Saga, also dropped because it seemed like everything why people hate anime.

 

Goblin Slayer very good, very very very good. Specifically enjoyed it as a D&D player myself.

 

Parasyte cool concept but meh storyline and ever more meh animation.

 

Samurai Champloo extremely comfy. I get why it's in all the 'must see' lists. Got the Cowboy Beebop feeling on all fronts (although I enjoyed the latter's animation more). Also, the hiphop elements deteriorated the quality of the series imho.

 

Food Wars was fun to see people explode out of their clothes only to be rescued by princes disguised as the food they were eating. Other than those moments, the show was very bland and boring. It did make me Hungary, though.

 

Currently really anticipating Attack on Titan - Season 3.

Blood Blockade Battlefront is fun if you are into mature humor, exaggerated action, and a blend of sci-fi/mythology.

 

Watching Darling In The Franxx and loving it. It's like a 2018 NGE with a vaporwavey feel. Animation sometimes a bit too 'cartoonish' for my taste.

 

I had the same sense that it's paralleling NGE, but on a more blatant pervy level. In that vein, I'm almost out of patience for the final rebuild film.

isn't it all some strange perversion

[OneToThirtySix]

Uh, I think I'll just stick to watching trash anime without a sword, comments on this video indicate that the sword, despite being present, did not actually protect him from a kayaking incident.

New anime from studio trigger, next level animation as usual

Taika Waititi’s live-action Akira movie gets May 2021 release date

he's gonna fuck it up so bad... :^(

[d-a-m-o]

lol yeah can't see how this can be adapted in the first place...

[ambermonk]

Akira should NEVER be adapted to live action. In fact, it should just be left the fuck alone altogether.

This thread reminded me about FLCL. . . did anyone end up watching the new series(es)? I read up a little and it sounds like "progression" was kind of crap but "alternative" might have been in keeping w/ OG series? 

Regardless, made me start a rewatch of the first one last night so thanks WATMM . . . nostalgia like a mofo' . . .

 

[d-a-m-o]

Didn’t watch the new series. Original is a classic.

[cruising for burgers]

i have it sitting on my hd, waiting to get a new tv to watch it... 

[d-a-m-o]

Jesus fucking christ this is epic ! (and again a complete change from the original plot) can't wait to watch the full thing.

Yeah that really is mental. Surprised me that so many people died, you'd think a studio like this had quick fire escapes

[d-a-m-o]

Sad news

Most of the deceased got trapped in a stairwell, trying to get to the roof.

Yoshiji Kigami, who worked on Akira, and Grave of the Fireflies, feared dead in the arson attack:

An Akira making of doc, and a commentary solely on the animation quality.

 

[ManjuShri]

If you enjoyed that Akira animation analysis he's done a Spirited Away one now too.

[Braintree]

That's really interesting. He should do Ghost in the Shell.

I just finished everything there is to see in the Legend of the Galactic Heroes realm (except for the reboot but gonna wait until that one is finished and watch it in one go).

If there's one anime I would recommend (after watching plenty of them, including most classics) it's this one. Never have I ended a series and thought 'welp, this was probably about as good as it can get. What can I watch after this that won't pale in comparison to this masterpiece?'

[Joyrex]

I can recommend two very good anime (which have probably been mentioned already but whatevs):

Demon Slayer

The Promised Neverland

You're welcome!
