This week in Bronyism - anime talk RUINED our point and laugh brony thread :(

[brob]

yeah, I'd put it under that.  Seen it many times.  The full 30 minute episodes are so weird and good, though the VA can be pretty off at times.

Heresy! Remind me to punch you in the dick if I'm ever within an arms reach of it.

I was mostly thinking of the chick who has Trevor put those things in her spine after she gets shot trying to escape.  She's pretty annoying. 

Trevor, Aeon, people with main roles are all usually great. 

[Purple Filth]

naturally, the gaf thread on this is pretty great.

From the thread:

 

[Shadow Mod]

I'm usually looking for good cyberpunk, cheesy 80s/90s action, and darker/understated/experimental stuff.   I still couldn't tell someone flat out "I like anime" irl, since that's associated with uguu~  have to qualify the fuck out of it, like i just did. 

Cyber City Oedo [and make sure you watch the awesome English dub]. Also, Goku: Midnight Eye.

Watched cyber city.  I'll check out the other one!

I've never laughed so hard at anime before:



These older shows are chock full of that 80s retro synth vibe that people sweat so hard. 

That's why Nero used it for a vid I guess. Anyway if people have more recs of 80s/90s anime I'm all ears. I love that shit.

It didn't get a lot of love when it originally was released [despite airing on Cartoon Network], but Outlaw Star is a pretty solid scifi series.

Then there's quintessential shoujo/mecha anime Escaflowne, although I think most everybody's seen that at least once.

Can't have a recommendation post without Patlabor, especially the movies.

For superior mid-90's mecha, you can't go wrong with Martian Successor Nadesico.

For a series that perfectly captures the mood of Japan at its economic height, there's You're Under Arrest, the four-episode OVA and the movie are the best of the bunch.

I think this is everything I've watched over the past few years and enjoyed on some level, whether it's genuinely good or just fun.

action, dystopic, sci-fi, cyberpunk, love letters to Blade Runner etc. etc.
 
Angel Cop
Bubblegum Crisis (and all the spin-offs like A.D. Police and especially Parasite Dolls, which isn't 80s/90s but captures that feel perfectly.)
Cyber City Oedo
Hokuto No Ken (Fist of the North Star) movie
Megazone 23
Violence Jack
Wicked City
Grey: Digital Target
Ai City
Neo Tokyo
Ninja Resurrection
Ninja gaiden
Serial Experiments Lain

weird artsy stuff--
Cat Soup 
Angel Egg

not 80s/90s exception:
Ergo Proxy

Some of this falls under "so good it's bad"

So basically, i go to the other extreme from cutesy kiddy-fiddling to violent/grimdark/techno-babble anime. 

[Don Flamenco]

Another thread ruined by anime.

but allow me to remind you there's a guy fucking a stuffed animal on the previous page. 

[Human Snorenado]

Well, this is something I can stop.

[Joe Molotov]

Nope.

[Human Snorenado]

Goddammit joe, have some decency

[Don Flamenco]

i can carry the anime discussion to the anime thread, no prob. 

but i thought when we hated on anime, we were talking about the modern uguu shit.    :'(

AW MAN ANGEL COP LOOKS SO DOPE

IM WATCHING THAT RIGHT NOW

good choice, it's a fun show.  gotta get the dub (but I think everyone knows this and the dub is the most widespread version)

[Joe Molotov]

Goddammit joe, have some decency

The fall of western civilization is happening in real-time, and we've got a front row seat.

[Himu]

I feel so weird as an anime fan. Like, I know I'm not the the textbook example of an anime fan as I like all forms of animation. I dunno. I've never liked nor watched the moe stuff and when there's something that caters to me (like a space opera, or a drama, or something) I watch it. What devolution described is just so foreign a concept to me as I never watched anime to 'escape sexuality or life' or whatever. I just watch it for cool stories.



But whatever brehs. I don't see really see any difference between Pixar and anime. Maybe it's because of the stuff I watch. I just don't know.

[Himu]

I have no opinion on MLP. I watched like one episode, clearly for children. Bronies are weird, although harmless.

[magus]

you guys are acting like a bunch of gossipy girls,basicaly this pic

[Great Rumbler]

aw man this anime is the shit shooting bitches in the tittys and shit its like Golgo 13 but with cops YEAAAAAHHHH

Angel Cop rules, but you miss out on this by watching the dub:

The original Japanese language version of Angel Cop is controversial for its anti-Semitic plot points. In the original Japanese, it is revealed that the Jews are the main threat to Japan's standard of living, and are trying to sabotage the country's economy and turn it into a dumping ground for radioactive material.

OMG, now I gotta find the sub version

dude wow

[Vit-Symty]

Patlabor 1 & 2 is just pure quality.



Other than those two... Cat Soup (released in 2001 yeah yeah). Honestly, fuck anything released beyond the 90s. Just trash.

[Eli Gulgin]

Sooo, how about them bronies, eh?

[Vit-Symty]

I would love to be given an opportunity to beat each and every brony to death with their own prized My Little Pony merchandise.

That or dump them all in Detroit and then barricade that shit up into a dome like that one in the Truman Show.

[brob]

Didn't the anime bubble last up until 2005~ish? There are several shows and films released after 2000 that are worthwhile. quit the hate pls.

[Momo]

i'm watching this currently, any talk of a bubble is wrong!

[Himu]

Yup. 2012 and 2013 revived anime. Guys you gotta catch up. Best year in anime since 2004.

[Great Rumbler]

The first half of the 00's were still great for anime, yeah, but we're all living in a post K-On world right now.

[Himu]

Shouldn't that be post-Haruhi?

[Himu]

Also, anime FILM hasn't decreased in quality. It's anime TV. Quite a distinction.

[Positive Touch]

*hahaha look at all those LOSERS*
*talks about anime for two hours*

[Himu]

I don't talk to anyone about anime except online and I don't make fun of Bronies.

[Great Rumbler]

I talk about anime online AND make fun of Bronies. Why? BECAUSE I JUST DON'T CARE.

[Positive Touch]

im just teasing you CRYBABIES

[Phoenix Dark]

Couldn't get into Berzerk but I've been enjoying Idolmaster.
