I'm looking for a new animu to watch, I've listed some of the stuff I highly rated, maybe there will be something others may be interested in listed below, but I would greatly appreciate any recommendations based on what you think I might love.
Animus: Serial Experiments Lain, Akagi, Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo, Psychiatrist Irabu, FMA:brotherhood, neongenesisevangerion, steins gate (prob gonna watch steins gate: zero if nothing seems better), Gilgamesh, Death Note, Ping Pong the animation, Baccano! , NHK…
Those are the best I can think of at the moment.

>>34981>mental anguishAku no hana would be fine then, but it might be too "boring" if you want edgy violence and sex. Belldonna is a strange one but has lots of really edgy satanic rape if that fits your bill.
No.34984
>>34982I thought Aku no Hana was cool, although I'm not looking in that direction currently.
I had Belladona on my to watch list but I didn't know it was edgy, just strange. I will check it out soon.

Any short animes with no more than about 6 episodes? I've watched Alien 9, Les Portrait de Petite Cossette, and Denpateki no Kanojo. I don't want comedy or moe, I hate those.

>>34975If you haven't watched it, fullmetal alchemist is surprisingly fucked up considering how popular it is. I can't really think of many anime that fit the bill though, it's mostly a medium for kids. Ajin is kind of edgy but comes across as a little try hard to me.

>>27658I'm really scraping the bottom of the barrel for shows. I've been watching anime for something like 15 years now. Any recommendations at all? Here's a list of all the stuff I've seen

>>35096How can you say you're scraping the bottom of the barrel when you haven't even watched many of the big hits like naruto? 100-200 shows is nothing. Literally just watch shows from any basic rec list.
No.35100
>>35099Naruto
is the bottom of the barrel. What I'm surprised about is that he hasn't seen anything by Yoshitoshi ABe.
>>35096If you like most of the stuff in your list(like Elfen Lied) you might like Deadman Wonderland, Shiki, and to a far lesser degree Another. Shiki is the best of the three, Deadman Wonderland is okay and shares some themes with Elfen Lied, and Another is at least not terrible.
No.35106
>>35100Naruto is good as long as you skip the filler. Those jutsus are just so damn cool. How can you not like that shit?
Anyway I will recommend some titles
Seirei no moribito
Code Geass
Hajime no Ippo
Shinsekai yori
Ergo Proxy
Detroit metal city
Kaiji
Monster
Overlord
kemono no souja Erin
Ginga Eyuu Densetsu
Yakusoku no neverland
Sangatsu no Lion
Vinland Saga
Kimetsu no yaiba
Fate/zero (only one of these worth watching imo)
Mononoke
Kingdom
Shigurui
Ghost in the shell stand alone complex
No game no life
Golden Kamuy
Doulou Dalu
Doupo Cangqiong
Wu Dong Qian Kun
Fanren Xiu Xian Chuan Zhi Fanren Feng Qi Tian Nan
Quanzi Gaoshou
Magi the labyrinth of magic (and sequel)
History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi
I'd rate all of those 7 or up.

>>35106>Naruto is good as long as you skip the filler. Those jutsus are just so damn cool. How can you not like that shit?Okay okay, there are lots of really good action scenes, but I admittedly don't enjoy action anything. I like tight, focused stories.

Serious Recommendation: Saint Seiya. It's 1980s old-school but the fight scenes are brutal.

Romcoms are shit. I want pure romance anime. Real genuine romance, where the slow, heavy, introspective thoughts of the protagonists, falling in love via their interactions, is the impetus and resolution of any "conflict" in the show no matter what form that takes. Stuff like Koikimo, Adachi to Shimamura, Yagate Kimi ni Naru. Yuri not strictly necessary, but still appreciated.
I've only recently awakened to this genre. Please help me out if you know of anything.
No.36549
>>36548Adachi to shimamura is very special I suggest maybe reading Yuri manga since there is not too many good Yuri anime. I have not finished bloom into you but it is praised. Have you seen Citrus? I felt it was bad no romance.
No.36550
>>36548Yesterday wo Utatte (the manga, anime is a rushed adaptation)
No.36551
>>36549>CitrusYeah, that shit was awful. Way more interested in melodrama and stupid bullshit instead of telling a good story of two succubi falling in healthy love. Yagate was fantastic though, you should get around to finishing it.
Got any manga suggestions? I'm more an anime guy, but I do read some manga and have been keeping up with some of the newer yuri like Whispering you a love song. Hetero is OK too if you know of any as well.
>>36550I hated that anime. It was 11 straight episodes of torture as characters stubbornly gravitated towards people clearly ill-suited for them while blatantly ignoring much healthier relationships. That it corrected itself in the last episode did little to fix my anger. How is the manga different?
No.36588
>>36548I just checked out a website called yurireview and the top 10 list has me downloading a few titles so maybe you could gain from it also
No.36607
>>36588Thanks for the tip off, I'll make sure to check out the site thoroughly. Just from a casual glance at the top 10 though, there seems to be a lot of shows that are subtext-only, or ones that are focused on other story aspects and the yuri is incidental. Not a good sign, but I suppose genuine pure romance is fairly rare so you take what you can get.

>>28490>>28491I own the movie on VHS and it intrigued me into being into clamp but other than that x is boring, the anime is, the mc is a cunt, and the movie indeed was a wut.filetype shitshow. I've yet to finish the anime and are over 30 now. I might read the manga some day as it takes up less space than tv shows and also is often better than tv shows. Example: Karin and or Chibi Vampire. The anime was fucking abhorrent.

Steam Boy is also excellent.
I also don't really get what you have against Ghibli stuff, as films like Princess Mononoke and Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind were great.
If none of that is your "speed" then try Redline. Super stylish high octane racing anime.
No.38406
>>38405I don't enjoy them. They're very Asian paced story telling and I find that pacing to be off putting even in subjects I usually like.
Redline falls into that edgy/weird over hyped category for me too. I've seen it and don't enjoy it.
No.38408
>>38406Your tastes are pretty narrow and the restrictions you've placed are stuffy. Why don't you just kick back and try to enjoy something, even if it doesn't immediately appeal to you? Heck, I wonder why you're watching anime in the first place…

>>38411Have you seen Koko? It's a good movie, Pokemon or not it's a good movie. I want to watch a film and say it's a good movie, not a 'good movie for anime".
>>38410Looks interesting, I'll give it a try.
>>38404I'm not sure this is what I'm looking for. It reminds me a lot of the OAVs Viz/funimation would release in the 90s where nothing happens for almost the entire run time then there would be a few minutes of over the top action. It's the sort of pacing I was trying to avoid since I've watched far too many of those and it's not what I'm after right now.
Thanks for the suggestion.

does anything comparable to bebop exist at all? the atmosphere is unbeatable. grim and merry at the same time. and what's most important doesn't make you cringe like dorohedoro for example. there are so few of these comfy anime with nice atmosphere. i know none except bebop that would offer such comfy space setting.
