09.22.15 | Redline's a terrific anime film. It's basically a hybrid of Wacky Races and Dead Leaves. What the movie lacks in a meaningful plot, it more than makes up for in regards to every other aspect.
As far as other recs, Kill la Kill, Shimoneta, and The Animatrix are marvelous IMHO. |

09.22.15 | ''Paprika'': one of the best I've seen, very surreal and dreamy, with a mess of a plot that makes sense in the end, excellent pictures etc. It's a movie, so it won't take you time. The above are movies as well.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yn7U1KIGeuQ
''The Garden of Words'': another movie, recent one, only 44 minutes. The animation is spectacular, the best one I've seen. The story is romantic, but it's not cheesy. Actually, I saw it for the animation and stayed for the story too. Nothing complex. Just humane. And common. Give it a try.

MMX
09.23.15 | Psycho Pass
Can not recommend this enough |
Funeralopolis
09.23.15 | also hal1ax if you like bleach and shaman king you'd probably also like One Piece. One Piece gets a lot of mixed reception but it is probably my favourite show of all time, although I would recommend watching One Pace instead of One Piece which is a fan version that condenses episodes together seeing as how the plot can be tiresomely slow at times.
The real appeal of the show is how vast and rich the world feels, full of secrets and dark mysteries that slowly unravel over time. There is a lot of mystery in the world and a lot of cool characters. The main characters are for the most part pretty likable and the more you watch it the more the show makes you feel like you are part of the crew. No show I've ever watched has such a grand sense of wonder and adventure. |
hal1ax
09.23.15 | hmm ok ill give it a shot, thanks. pretty much the only reason i haven't pursued it is because of the mixed things that I've heard about it; like it being too long or slow or unappealingly eccentric or whatever. but ill definitely chekkitt |
Keyblade
09.23.15 | if you like mainstream shonen like bleach, i'm sure you'll love the 2011 reboot of HunterxHunter. it's got that balance of action and character development without falling into many of the pitfalls the likes of bleach and one piece do. and as a bonus, it actually has an end! |
Funeralopolis
09.23.15 | I watched HunterxHunter but overall thought it was just okay, I felt it got dragged down by too many slow moments. I will give it credit for being pretty creative though. Season 3 was an absolute masterpiece. But I felt the extreme amount of time the show dedicated to training got really fucking boring over a long time, the last season went on way too long and the plot got ridiculously convoluted. Season 1 starts off very slow but picks up really well towards the end. Season 2 was pretty boring, season 4 was really weird but entertaining however again drastically dragged down by the excessive amounts of training. |
Keyblade
09.23.15 | shiet i dont remember the order of the seasons, but the one with the ants was a masterpiece |
Funeralopolis
09.23.15 | season 3 is some essential shit, Hisoka is the coolest pedophile to ever exist |
ZombicidalMan
09.23.15 | yeah, season 3 was fantastic. I powered through all the HunterxHunter on netflix in like two weeks |

Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.12.20 | i have no idea |
robertsona
12.12.20 | I will also come in to say that I loved the third arc of HunterxHunter. Nearly Hitchcockian levels of suspense. Perfectly constructed.
Have also historically enjoyed Azumanga Daioh, Cowboy Bebop (and to a lesser extent Space Dandy), and Monster. Not a huge anime guy myself though
Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou is an underrated mood piece too |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.12.20 | Honestly going with the recs from people that are not huge anime guys is probably your only safe bet to avoid ending up watching some borderline lolicon ass schoolgirl vore shit |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.12.20 | What I'm trying to say is think twice about any recs johnny adds |
robertsona
12.12.20 | Yeah by "not a huge anime guy" I also mean that a lot of it actively bothers me. The sort of "[mostly] male wish-fulfillment" element...even March Comes In Like a Lion, which is sort of harmless and which a lot of people like, has sort of struck me as stacking the deck way in favor of its protag (even if he's reclusive/shy/nerdy) and sorts people into "cool" and "uncool" in a way that feels simplified to me, although I'm only 4 or 5 episodes in. But god there's some heinous shit out there. I peeked at like five minutes of whatever "Bakemonogatari" is (my little brother was watching it) and felt like throwing up. And then there are anime that don't track along those lines but the directing/art choices bother me (this is also true of March), idk, just rough most of the time #animetakes
The anime that tries to go deeper into psychology and emotions unfortunately is often the anime that has the most annoying shit too, so I tend to like the ones that traffic in simple pleasures of overcoming obstacles or hanging out with friends |
parksungjoon
12.12.20 | lol |
Deathconscious
12.12.20 | Secede, nice.
Akira, classic sci fi anime movie
FLCL, weird ass coming of age anime with crazy animation, only six episodes so its easy to get through
Trigun, western/sci fi thing
Paranoia Agent, weird psychological shit
Mushi Shi, slow burner with beautiful artwork and music. Will make you feel like you just meditated.
One Punch Man, action/comedy. Makes fun of super hero and anime tropes.
Ghibli movies like Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, and Grave of the Fireflies are musts.
Mind Game (2004), another really weird and crazy thing |
parksungjoon
12.12.20 | season 2 of sangatsu is even better tbh since it doesnt focus on rei that much |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.12.20 | Mind game was sick watch tekkonkonkreet death, same animation but best movie OAT |
robertsona
12.12.20 | there are good things about sangatsu and I'm trying very hard not to write it off. but the episode where there's a flashback to the sweaty fat annoying kid losing badly at shogi turned me off, even if the show tried to muddy the waters of characterization with the ride to the hospital. we'll see, I'm sure I'll probably end up getting to season 2 |
Aberf
12.12.20 | Baccano [2]
Shinsekai Yori / From The New World
Tatami Galaxy [2]
Ping Pong The Animation |
parksungjoon
12.12.20 | that char gets better too |
robertsona
12.12.20 | I think TV just generally isnt for me: if a characterization bothers me throughout the entirety of an episode I have trouble being like, "Well, maybe they'll modify the things that bother me in like five episodes!" or whatever. It's pretentious but something about the serialization structure...I just much prefer a good movie lol. (Even though with the onset of netflix binge-watch single-release stuff that distinction is becoming more and more troubled)
On a related note, miyazaki sort of blows anything I've mentioned or called out in terms of TV shows out of the water for me. Boring take but yea |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.12.20 | You do understand that not all tv characters are static right bobert? |
robertsona
12.12.20 | but goddammit why do the characters' mouths in sangatsu have to look like that
I mean I get it maybe, and at least the odd choices for how faces look in the show takes away from the usual bothersome titillation factor of the voluptuous lady that gives rei food or whatever because she looks so odd, but the standard position of the half-open mouth bothers me on a visceral level lmao |
parksungjoon
12.12.20 | nah i get what you mean tbh |
parksungjoon
12.12.20 | >but goddammit why do the characters' mouths in sangatsu have to look like that
thats how the lady that drew the manga draws so they tried to adapt her style as best they could
she drew hachikuro the same |
robertsona
12.12.20 | "You do understand that not all tv characters are static right bobert?"
tbh this is still something I need to think through. but in anime in particular I feel 99% of the time that the author(s) are sorting people into categories that make it easy to root for, usually, the protag as an identification figure and that the other characters (romantic interests, archenemies, friends) are there to enforce that perspective. but I'm no expert tbh, I wouldnt submit this as a Hard Take it's just my feeling after watching some good ones and a lot of bad ones |
parksungjoon
12.12.20 | most anime is shit because its a product first and foremost
sad but true |
robertsona
12.12.20 | I might be impossible to please on this front, park: the anime that presumably least hews to male fantasy, the shojo stuff, usually bothers me on an aesthetic level because "the people look weird" lol so it's a hard game to win

Welcome to the NHK, Girls Last Tour, Mushishi and Black Lagoon are shows that don't do this. Give them a crack. |
aydross121
12.13.20 | "HxH is really overrated if you ask me...

Both are really not comparable imo. FMA is more consistent and safer, and hxh is more creative but, well, inconsistent. One thing I can say though, the "comedy" in FMA is literal slapstick. At least hxh had some more complex jokes, even if not as commonplace. |

12.13.20 | on the flip side of that, i heard Attack On Titan got exponentially better since season 1, which is interesting because although I hated season 1 with a fiery burning passion, there were conceptual elements and visuals that I really liked that made me want to appreciate it. The titans were just straight up terrifying. The fucking grins and the cloudy lifeless looks in their eyes while they just bit people in half and shit. Good stuff. Shame about everything else. |
LeddSledd
12.13.20 | never got around to watching later season of AoT, though i've heard others echo that same sentiment. first season was decent but titans' design is killer [2] easily the best element of the show |
hal1ax
12.13.20 | yea i only saw AoT s1 and didn't like it. it just felt so tonally homogeneous. like every episode was just so hyper-dramatic and panic and turmoil-laden to the point where it began feeling like a chore to watch it. but yea the visuals were cool. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.13.20 | anime in general obviously has a penchant for over the top obnoxious characters and rigid tropes but the characters in that show just seem particularly vapid. fucking eren and armin were especially fucking insufferable. the entire season was just eren fucking screaming and throwing tantrums constantly and armin having little bitch flashbacks about how he's a useless soft cock every 4 seconds it really deeply made me want to shoot myself in the face |
LeddSledd
12.13.20 | semi-related to AoT, one aspect of anime i fucking despise is the persistence of "anime sounds" (*expression change* huh? - guh-ah! - uh!) and the tendency for some forced emotional moment to last waaaay too long (character crying while going on monologue about how much of a pussy they are)
so basically that pots lol |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.13.20 | "and the tendency for some forced emotional moment to last waaaay too long (character crying while going on monologue about much of a pussy they are)"
i feel this mega-large |

12.13.20 | samurai champloo >>>> cowboy bepop imo
also yeah soul eater [2] it's prob objectively fucking awful but idk there's something about it that i like. last season falls off hard tho. the kishin in general was way cooler earlier on when it was this terrifying thing, but when he starts espousing philosophy at the end of the show he kind of loses everything that made him intimidating |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.13.20 | "it, but yea, the main trio fucking suck ass. All 3 of them."
the third being the chick whose personality is that she has no personality?
how about the chick whose personality is that she likes food and is a coward |
Jasdevi087
12.13.20 | wow why do I agree with Gyro, fuck this |
Deathconscious
12.13.20 | Btw all this talk of season 1 and season 2 and whatnot is confusing. I bought what was called season 1 and 2 of One Punch Man but theyre both part of the original story arc, the first 20 something episodes. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.13.20 | i love bebop and champloo both but champloo is a bit more succinct which is nice. bebop honestly gets boring here and there and starts off slow for me. |

12.13.20 | "literally not a single one of the characters in AoT are good idk why single out the main 3"
yeah i cant think of a single character i "liked" but eren and armin were particularly awful |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.13.20 | honestly food girl was probably amongst the least worst alongside annie solely because she hated all the other characters as much as i did |
rabidfish
12.13.20 | The VAs dont help. Japanese voice acting usually makes me cringe. Insufferable shounen protags that cant stop yelling and screaming and their tendency for female characters to sound like mentally challenged squirrles. God I have 0 tolerance for that shit. I much rather read the manga.
Also AoT gets much better half way, when the focus moves away from the awful main cast. |
Gyromania
12.13.20 | yeah same bepop has moments of boredom. also that soundtrack in champloo is prob the best i've ever heard in an anime - maybe the best in a show period.
also one punch man is def excellent as well |
Jasdevi087
12.13.20 | one punch man loses its magic for me after the first series |

12.13.20 | i definitely prefer the original japanese voice acting in anime for the most part but i mean maybe for aot english would have taken the edge of erens fucking chronic screaming off |
Jasdevi087
12.13.20 | english anime voice actors are fucking frauds
Black Lagoon is the sole exception to this |
Gyromania
12.13.20 | series 2 wasn't as tight no doubt, but there are some enjoyable story threads. season 1 is just a one-off i think. it was rly cool at the time for how it flipped the genre conventions.
rabidfish: yeah anime sounds in general are very grating and stupid most of the time. japanese vas are generally really terrible from everything i've seen. very high pitched and whiney. always making these dumbass grunting sounds too |

12.13.20 | the manga of the OPM s2 arc was great. i just think it wasn't adapted nearly as well as s1. |
Sinternet
12.13.20 | attack of titan gets exponentially better each season
season 3 was like holy shit moments every episode and has probably the best animation i've ever seen
characters are def the weakest part of the show, but it's well worth going back in for the world-building and out of nowhere arcs |
Sinternet
12.13.20 | they all get better than season 1 for sure though, i mean they're like what 14 or 15 there |

12.13.20 | @Gyro Soul Eater [3] the show sucks but maybe it's a stylistic thing bc I actually really enjoy it for some reason. philosophy is contrived, I just wanna see people cut demons open |
Gyromania
12.13.20 | same - and the witch with the bouncy tits, ofc |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.13.20 | yep the soul eater comments are spot on lmao |
StarlessCore
12.13.20 | grand blue if u read manga |
Sinternet
12.13.20 | i like soul eater a fair bit, but can't tell how much of that is because paper moon is a top 3 opening of all time |
Hyperion1001
12.14.20 | just finished hxh and this is my ranking now
1. Cowboy Bebop
2. Gurren Lagann
3. Hunter X Hunter
4. Trigun
5. Neon Genesis Evangelion
feature films are a different thing so those are a separate ranking |
Pikazilla
12.14.20 | "grand blue if u read manga"
That shit is funny as heck |
aydross121
12.14.20 | Hyperion nice top 3 |
Keyblade
12.14.20 | "on the flip side of that, i heard Attack On Titan got exponentially better since season 1, which is interesting because although I hated season 1 with a fiery burning passion"
same, I hated S1, overrated crap. used to wait every week for a new episode for nothing. I'll give the other seasons a go now tho cuz I've also heard it got much better |
MxL0
12.15.20 | FMA's comedy is the same joke over and over again. Honestly I don't mind it has its moments. 2003 seems funnier. I'll take that over a show with an awful protagonist like Gon.
On a side note, its cool to see Trigun finally getting some well deserved respect. God, that show is really well written. |
Sinternet
12.15.20 | one that got overlooked recently i enjoyed a lot was land of the lustrous, its pretty great |
fatihcoskuny
12.15.20 | 1. Neon Genesis Evangelion + EoE

3. Monster
4. Kenpuu Denki Berserk
5. Cowboy Bebop
6. Texhnolyze
7. Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica

12.15.20 | @Sinternet just googled that one, the visual aesthetic is very pleasing. tempted to czech |

12.15.20 | @leddsled, the first episodes might seem boring but don't give up on it, go all the way through |

12.15.20 | calling land of the lustrous recent is a stretch since it came out three years ago and saying it was overlooked is even more of a stretch, it was one of the most praised anime of 2017 and is still talked about. |
