ASF Posted June 14, 2020 Posted June 14, 2020 I've always watched anime, but since last Summer I've been watching as many as possible and it has been an interesting hobby. So, which are your favorite? Some of the good ones I've watched in the past 10 months: - Attack on Titan - Tokyo Ghoul - Shiki - Seven Deadly Sins - Bungo Stray Dogs - Is it Wrong to Try To Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? - Angel Beats! (That final episode will punch you in the gut) - Deadman Wonderland - Demon Slayer I want to try and re-watch some of the classics, like Rurouni Kenshin, Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball.
Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted June 18, 2020 Subscriber Posted June 18, 2020 Some of my favorites (and some are already in the list above) Neon-Genesis Evangelion Gundam Wing : Endless Waltz / Pretty much any Mobile Suit Gundam series they have such weird political themes and couple that with characters that pilot even nicer mecha. Robotech / Macross Fullmetal Alchemist Ergo Proxy Princess Mononoke Your Name Akira Ninja Scroll (The gore in this...) Wolf Children Code Geass Haja Taisei Dangaiou (Must watch if you like mecha anime) Mazinger series Graveyard of the Fireflies Lots more too just cant remember them all and put them in here. The older the anime the better they tend to be because of the way they are drawn and the themes covered.
Bluewolf Posted June 18, 2020 Posted June 18, 2020 I don't know if it's Anime or Manga but I really enjoyed the Appleseed films, The opening sequence is just fantastic... Quite a lot of good animated films out there... If we are just talking Anime though I couldn't tell you which is what etc..

I saw some clips of the new Ghost in the Shell and thought it wasn't all that great because part of the joy of anime for me is not having it too lifelike which is the direction they are going in now.

If we're adding anime movies, then besides those you have named, I'll add My Neighbor Totoro and Spirited Away. The later being the best animated movie for me. 8 episodes in and Samurai X remains as awesome as I remembered it.
Rick Posted June 22, 2020 Posted June 22, 2020 Princess Mononoke & Spirited Away are another level when it comes to anime films. I also love My Neighbour Totoro & Kiki’s Delivery Service.

Spike Posted June 22, 2020 Posted June 22, 2020 Will watch a series every now and then, most are pretty bad. Legend of the Galactic Heroes was something else though.
IgnisExcubitor Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 My exposure to Anime is only restricted to movies most of which belong to Studio Ghibli, and my favourite is Princess Mononoke. Though I have lots of love for rest of their movies. Beyond that I have only watched Akira and loved it. Also, Your Name the 2016 flick was a highly enjoyable romantic, anime flick. I do want to watch Attack on Titan. Have heard good things about it.

Devil-Dick Willie Posted August 26, 2020 Posted August 26, 2020 Watched some of this shit as a kid, and in my early 20s As a child Dragon ball z. What a show. Power THAT SHIT UP FOR 5 EPISODES ITS ALL ABOUT THE ANTICIPATION. Bleach. First 3 seasons I actually re watched in my 20s. Excellent arc. The rest can fuck off Full metal alchemist brotherhood. Mad bars. Bad ending Pokemon. Gay. I need the character to actually earn and achieve things if I'm to vicariously live through him YuGiHo. Ehhhhh. Kid me liked it Naruto. Rock lee vs Gara MY MAN. MY GUY. MY DUDE. I was pumped. As a 21 year old Attack on titan. Not behd. lots of screaming though, shut the fuck up every so often and people would make less fun of the medium Death Note. The first arc is great. then some shitty blonde bitch ruins things a bit, then a bunch of business men have the fycking thing. Who thought that'd be good tv? great for 10 episodes though Psycho pass. Excellent first season imo Full metal alchemist. Not sure which is better, this is darker and less power of friendship, but the ending of both is unsatisfying Tokyo Ghoul. Cool for about 2 episodes. who the fuck wants to watch a show about the GAYEST CANNIBALS POSSIBLE DRINKING COFFEE ALL THE FUCKING TIME? Not this hombre. Fairy Tail. Not sure how I managed to watch 2 full seasons or so of this shite, one of those so bad it's good gigs maybe, or perhaps the 1 funny joke per episode kept me going, fuck knows its what keeps Brooklyn 99 going.

Starts out so well too, shame really.

Rewatched that a few years back for nostalgia, but Dragon Ball Kai, which cuts all the shit that wasn't in the manga and removes all the filler. Cuts over 130 episodes, it is like uncut cocaine, it is somehow 10 times better. Of course though, the fucking show started on Cheez TV when school was about to start, but then again my hometown lost Channel 10 around 2000 because lol fuck repairing the tower.

I dislike how fast paced DB Kai is. The dialogue is about 100 times better in Kai than the original but I always find myself going back to the first dub. Just has a better pace.

Devil-Dick Willie Posted August 26, 2020 Posted August 26, 2020 Nah I like Vegetas grave gargling voice, and the snails pace.
