SAO

Does that face mean I'm better off not googling?

[Shadow Mod]

So I started watching Gurren Lagann last night, funny enough but its fanservice is something I basically gotta slough through. From the cover though I realized this would be the case given Yoko is right there and not put in later. First ep already had the whole lol boobs, fell in your big boobs. Subsequent episodes have shots that are sure to include angles on her tits or her butt despite them already being visible AF. I would enjoy this anime much more if it was just Ron, Simon and Kamina.

 

[Tasty]

SAO is the worst recent "popular" anime, in my opinion.

Male wish fulfillment, misogyny, incest overtones, and a loli thrown in just for good measure. The plot is stupid and boring, and the the main character is a selfish prick.

I don't really remember a lot of "fanservice" after the first episode, other than maybe a line or two (discounting the obvious hot spring ep.)

Yoko's missing for pretty much all of the second half so no worries there.

I think it's so ubiquitous even for you that a bunch of shit doesn't even register. No offense to you or anything.

[cosmicblizzard]

Gurren Lagann is the only anime I'd recommend even to people averse to fanservice because everything else overshadows it greatly.  It's the best anime of all time in spite of that.

Maybe. I'm quick to call that shit out usually but my fond memories of GL may be overshadowing any of that.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy the series.

Well this conversation is kind of hitting on the whole issue really. Even a "great" anime as some think here is just fraught with stupid shit you have to accept. Some people would rather just scrap the whole venture. 

[Tasty]

Some people will always have peeves about various things. Yoko doesn't bother me in GL because it's well-written and well-animated enough to overlook it. Same for KLK, but I only watched it incidentally via Toonami and eventually it was able to claw itself out of that hole. I wouldn't have bothered had it not been on Toonami and I was too lazy to change the channel.

When the entire point of an anime is fanservice such that the animation is low-keyframe crap with moeblob faces, that's when I take issue. But I suppose that's more of a conceptual and writing issue.

If you're sensitive to that stuff enough that GL bothers you, by all means drop it. I'm not really interested in telling people which media they should consume, but in my opinion it's a fantastic series.

[Shadow Mod]

Not really sensitive, I mean even y'all are like "yeah that shit is dumb but this anime is great regardless."

It's just a funny endorsement that has to be made specifically about a lot of anime, over and over.

"it's got all this dumb shit going on but just ignore it for the better stuff"

 

[archie4208]

I watched the first episode of One Punch Man and enjoyed it. 

[Tasty]

A lot of good anime manages to avoid it. Studio TRIGGER is the Gainax peeps who made Eva though, so it's not really surprising it's featured prominently in their works.

[mormapope]

Fullmetal Alchemist 2003>>>FMA Brotherhood.

The anime I watch typically has little to no fan service. That phrase can mean many things, but I generally dislike any fan service whatsoever.

Fullmetal Alchemist 2003>>>FMA Brotherhood.

The anime I watch typically has little to no fan service. That phrase can mean many things, but I generally dislike any fan service whatsoever.

Both series are great and worth watching.

Fullmetal Alchemist (2003) has better, more deliberate pacing for the first half and you get to know the brothers a lot better. Some of it is filler, but it's fairly well-written filler. It does its own thing for the second half, but it's still very compelling and it left a big emotional impact on me that wasn't there when I watched Brotherhood (although I was older by then, which may have contributed.) The original series also has significantly better music (not counting the openings, though Rewrite remains the king.)

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (2009) is the better series overall and one of the greatest shonens of all time. The animation is consistently fantastic in a way only Hunter x Hunter can match, and the show juggles a massive cast of main and secondary characters with aplomb. By the time the series reaches its endgame, shit goes down in the most satisfying way possible.

[Mr Gilhaney]

Knowing anime titles. 

[Tasty]

Of course, FMA was written by a woman, so that may have something to do with it.

Let it Out is the greatest, though. It touches my soul.



Shunkan Sentimental is great too.

NOSTALGIA

[Rahxephon91]

Yeah FMA 2003 is great. It's a cool and somewhat topical fantasy show with a lot of fantastic plotting and characters.

Brotherhood is a little too shounen anime for me to like.

Gurren Lagann has plenty of fanservice and zany humor. I think it's fantastic. The animation, the direction style, and presentation is so stylish. The writing is fun and on point for the story and tone. Great show. I wouldn't recommend it to everyone though.

[Tasty]

GL is a way better mecha show than Eva though.

Oh no doubt. It's one of the best.

Death Note's second intro is good, though I like the first as well.

The best piece is the second ending though.

Gurren lagann sucks.  Emo simon was painful as fuck and then at the end the prick forsakes all his friends to be a hobo. Still better than evangelion (a low bar)

[Rahxephon91]

Kind of a stupid and random comparison.

Um he leaves because the entire point of the show was that no one is god and should lead over anyone. He did his job and now it was time for someone else to step up to the plate. Like did you pay any attention to what they were talking about with the anti-spiral people? What is with people criticizing GL and Eva and not understanding any of it?

[Jansen]

Rahxephon also sucks

[toku]

Rahxephon also sucks

Still better than Evangelion.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

All anime is .  Yes, even the non-pantsukun anime of the 80s.

[Rahxephon91]

Rahxephon also sucks

Possibly, haven't watched it awhile. It was good when I was a teenager and was exactly made for someone of that age. Better to leave it there.

But no it probably is'nt a bad show. It's not as rough as Evangelion, but because of that it's not as memorable or anywhere as iconic. Ayato is a more enjoyable protagonist, but Shinji actually is a better and more realistic character. Eva is just a much more interesting show with far better characters that feel more reliatable cast. In the end the plot of Rahxephon is better thought out and constructed since the "mysteries" have an actual point and plot to them. The overall "lore" and "story" is'nt important in Eva but that kind of means more crazy and interesting things happen. The story is really there to serve the characters, but maybe because the plot wasn't as well constructed its more interesting to look at. Also, the aesthetic and design of Eva is better. The mechanical designs in Eva are so awesome.

Slayers is still the best anime and I won't hear different. Because any other opinion is wrong.

[tiesto]

Kinda disappointed that KT chickened out on releasing it in the states. Sure the DOAX games aren't exactly the highest quality titles but the controversy will ensure it certainly sells better than the latest Nobunaga or Deception IV: Blood Ties. Don't the more niche, 'pervy' games do better in America than even Japan?

Although part of me thinks this is all a huge stunt by KT to drum up controversy and it was their plan to release the title stateside all along...

[brob]

yes they are worried about tumblr reblogs and not the fact that the games probably don't sell well enough to justify the costs. 

[Trent Dole]

This kind of gives them a convenient out, doesn't it? I remember seeing lots of copies of DoAX2 in best buy bins for like 10 bux.

[thisismyusername]

Incorrect, but I respect your opinion.

Probably. Doesn't help that the achievements for getting all the outfits on each of the girls for 2 was balls hard because you literally had to go through the 14 day vacation mode to grind cash over and over and over and over and over and over for each of the girls AND gift the outfits AND hope the outfits "stick" (see: Venus which is a barely there bikini) on the girls by grinding even more cash to butter them up with gifts for them to not just trash your 1million gift.

Boston

Out of all the towns I’ve been to, Boston left the best first impression. I mean, yeah the roads suck and I’m pretty sure Boston people don’t know how to drive (sorry Boston people L), but the city itself is awesome. It has a small town feel while being cultured. There is so much history here, and the city and its residents absolutely own it. I wanna go back so bad. Pretty easy to make friends if you're a pats fan. Boston accent is wicked awesome.

Slayers is awesome.

If anyone's still looking for anime suggestions with minimal, practically non-existent  fanservice, then Slayers is a great choice.
