Title: Want to watch some anime, suggestions?
Post by: The Sceneman on May 08, 2012, 12:55:10 AM: Okay I've been watching a lot of Dragonball Z (lolz) and I'd be keen to watch some other anime show.

I'm quite interested in the look of Gundam and 80's style anime drawing. Is there an awesome 80's Gundam serial show someone can recommend? Is Area 88 good?

Post by: Bebpo on May 08, 2012, 05:42:04 PM: I second the Zeta Gundam recommendation. It's fucking terrible and genius at the same time. Epic war drama written and directed by a schizophrenic person. So entertaining. The mech designs are straight out awesome too.

Gundam? It meets the bolded requirements but it's semi-hard sci-fi and can have anime stuff.

For fantasy you could watch Record of the Lodoss War, but it's not going to meet all those requirements. It's like Fire Emblem but more mature.

The Vision of Escaflowne is really good fantasy like you want, but it's got a tooooon of animu. It has the original catgirl.

If you want something like Song of Ice & Fire but not as good and just as unfinished you could watch 12 Kingdoms.

Actually Berserk meets all those but it's the opposite of "no one is safe" because everyone who isn't the main cast always dies and the main cast is always safe.

Berserk
BERSERK
BERSERK

It's dark. It's got manly dudes fighting. Tons of people get slaughtered. And the final episode will WRECK YOUR LIFE.

Title: Re: Want to watch some anime, suggestions?
Post by: Bebpo on May 10, 2012, 04:11:06 AM: It's quite awesome. Unfortunately it's an unfinished mess in the current state with no clue whether the author will finish the story before he dies as he's too busy playing Idolmaster and enjoying his lolis.

The anime is self-contained though, it's the first major arc of the story. If you like it you can jump directly into the comic from the ending as there's been several more large arcs since.

Post by: Phoenix Dark on May 10, 2012, 09:42:37 PM: I was kind of bummed at the set up though. They tell her if she spills wine, she has to lick it up. When she spilled wine it looked like she spilled it in one of the dude's crotches. But instead they were like "oh you spilled it on the table, lick it up trollolol." I was kind of hoping...well nevermind :-\

Elfen Lied, probably the best most under rate anime ever. Don't even read up on it, just download it right now

Underrated? Elfen Lied ALWAYS gets mentioned in these threads!
Title: Re: Want to watch some anime, suggestions?
Post by: Bebpo on May 10, 2012, 11:11:45 PM: Well, actually I was thinking of the post-anime manga when I said that. lol

The current crew of kids and women and lolis are not going to be touched unless he wants to start killing people in the final arc. But if you're some side guy...lolz.
Title: Re: Want to watch some anime, suggestions?
Post by: Bebpo on May 10, 2012, 11:12:33 PM: I liked reading the Elfen Leid manga a few years back. It's super trashy pulp horror w/tits but sometimes that's exactly what you need in life.
