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.

One very good place to start is to check out the threads where people are talking about anime they've watched. You get to know what they thought of it, and then can use this to judge if you want to watch it yourself.

Might as well piggy-back OP…
I'm sorely tempted to switch to anime from video gaymes for my monotonous life-wasting NEET routine, but I haven't watched anything made since 2008. Other than kill la kill, which I enjoyed profoundly.
Is current anime really as bad as people say? I also have panty and stocking on file and it looked funny from the tiny bit I glimpsed.
I'm open to almost any genre except shounen/shoujo and moeshit. And sports. And horror. And car stuff. I hate cars.
I also won't watch that jojo adventure thing. I tried but the first episode made me physically ill.

I've never seen any anime other than welcome to the nhk and a few hayao miyazaki movies.
Can anywiz recommend a good, long, comfy series that I can escape into? Something non-normalfaggish. Fantasizing about romance does nothing for me. I'm talking about something in a far off land. Friendships are ok. I also strongly appreciate pessimistic themes such as antinatalism,rational suicide, and nihilism.

I'm looking for a semi realistic fighting show, thats main characters or most are adults. I don't want to watch a 12 year old twink go from zero to saving the world in a couple months. Western fantasy would be my preferred genre. The shows that I've watched and you guys might recommend are claymore, legend of the lotus flower. I don't plan on watching berserk unless its ending stands alone, and you guys say I have too.

>>28423Midori, some of the imagery in the film was so extreme that it was banned in certain countries, I think even in Japan for a while. It's about an innocent orphan succubus who is forced into joining a traveling freakshow who rape her and abuse her in other ways, by far the most disturbing and depressing anime I have ever seen.
Texhnolyze is also said to be very depressing but I never saw it in its entirety so I can't say for sure.
Gunslinger succubus is about a bunch of little succubi who lost their parents or were abonded by them and are turned into cyborg soldiers by the Italian government to fight mobsters.
I also recently saw a show called Brigadoon which fits into this category. I feel like I can't really explain what makes it depressing without spoiling it but let's just say that I have never experienced such a big tone shift in any piece of media.
No.28431
>>28423The CGI in that show was really shit and I couldn't make it past the 10 minute mark of the first ep.
Who the fuck keeps deciding that 10 fps in CGI is tolerable? Someone needs to sit any Japaneses animator that is even thinks about using pure CGI that using normal anime frame rates are eye cancer and to bump up the frame rate dramatically to make it look good.
I have seen it done well so there is no reason why they keep making this same mistake over and over again.
No.28432
>>28431I have never seen good CG in anime, mixing 2D with 3D will always look jarring to me. I don't mind if it's done for artistic purposes (like in Hyouge Mono with the teacups) but that's normally not the case. So me personally, I'd prefer if they stopped using it altogether.

>>28432Karas is probably the only decent example I've ever seen.
No.28434
>>28432When it comes to mixed when it is done well it is actually pretty hard to notice.
Then there are the times it is used where it doesn't try that hard to blend but ascetically it works, like for the spider tanks in some of the scenes in GitS:SAC. The cars looked pretty bad in that show though.
So far I have only seen one anime show that is full 3d CGI that looked really good, which was Land of the Lustrous.
Hopefully the anime industry gets better at using it because realistically CGI and 3d CGI are not going away and only going to become more and more common as time goes on.

>Texhnolyze it is pretty bad, been a while since I watched it, but IIRC the guy looses his arm violently in the first episode, and it goes downhill from there, it did seem slow paced at times, and while I appreciate the artistic effect the pace had on the climate of the show, sometimes it was too drawn out.
>Gunslinger succubuswhile some of it is depressing, the theme is more about cute succubi being violent killers and coping with not being loved in one way or another, the second season was not as good, but I watched it anyway
I am also unfamiliar with the last one you posted, care to explain what it is about?
No.28442
>>28434>Land of the LustrousWhat the hell is the deal with that show? I see people on youtube and other normalfag sites claim it to be one of the most beautiful shows in recent years but it looks worse than Kemono Friends to me. Maybe it's so good narrative-wise that it makes viewers not realise how ugly it is but as an unbiased person who doesn't know what's it about I can safely say that it looks worse than most full-CG anime. The only good-looking CG anime I know of is Gantz: O. Now, if all anime had CG on that level I would stop complaining about it for good but so far that's the only piece of Japanese animation that managed to make 3D look beautiful. Not passable or good enough compared to other examples (which is what most people probably mean when they say that something like Land of the Lustrous looks good) but actually beautiful and on par with 2D works.
>>28435Yep, it starts out as what seems like a cute children's show but while it already gets somewhat dark in the first half, it goes all out with it after episode 12.
>>28439>is it really that graphicYes, it contains some very disturbing body horror imagery and an infamous scene of a guy trampling puppies to death with his shoes.
>it is pretty badWell, me personally I dropped it after that first episode recently which is why I said I didn't finish it. But I'd like to give it another try because it at least tries something different from most anime and that's something I can appreciate.
>I am also unfamiliar with the last one you posted, care to explain what it is about?It's about a succubus who finds a blue robot who protects her from alien robots. It would a bit difficult to go further into detail as A) like I already said, it would spoil the enjoyment of seeing insanity enfold before your eyes and B) because it kind of changes genre every few episodes. It goes from a monster of the week EVA ripoff to a comedy to a drama to a magical succubus's show to a Lovecraftian apocalypse in its runtime.
No.28461
>>28442It is beautiful in the artistic sence of the word.

I am looking for a martial arts anime that isn't shonen or rely on shonen tropes. So no power level bullshit, no magical weapons, no fire balls and magical finishing techniques, no transformations.

You need to be able to look past the CGI which is very competent compared to most CGI, they made it so the animated parts compliment the CGI, making them look a lot more alive and expressive, I really look forward to what else Studio Orange is making.
Houseki deals with a lot of themes from self harm, to trying to find a purpose in life and being a burden to everyone around you, it can get very grim sometimes, there's enough Manga content for more than another season, so consider reading the Manga too.

80s/early90s non-high school, non-mecha supernatural and/or horror ova with an animation style similar to Wicked City or Demon City Shinjuku. Adult male has magic martial arts learned from the rigvedas or some vedic shit. The bhagavad gita is mentioned routinely in his power-up incantations. Hideous red tentacle monsters with fangs who speak japanese in a deep monster voice appear from dimensional rips in thin air to fight him. Spooky ending.

No.29396
>>29374There's also a startling amount of maturity in the story with how the characters act about their profession. MC is a felon trying to chase his dream. Very serious for an anime, but saying it's bad would be wrong. Not that fun.
I liked Kabukibu! mostly because of the enthusiasm behind it. It's fujopandering but it doesn't overdo that and focuses on making the Kabuki more understandable, and it got me interested in watching actualy Kabuki on youtube. Show flew under the radar because it's not succubi. If you did the show with the characters gender swapped(even the prince succubus character), I think everyone would have loved it.
No.29694
>>29372its nice. the first season is a bit of a mess, but the second season improves on it. my bigget complaint is how they handled the rakugo segments. the director relied on wacky crazy xD camera movements instead of focusing on character animation, so you don't actually get the feel of rakugo even though the segments take up huge portions of episodes.
No.29695
>>27658>animuWhat is this "animu" thing I hear everywhere? It sounds dumb as shit.
No.29701
>>29695It's a cultural trend on the internet to cutesy the words 'anime' and 'manga', most notably 4chan /a/ was renamed "Animu and Mango" for a while.
That was done because it was already popular among the users. Anime is highly cute-centric, so this is similar to puppy-talk or baby-talk. The instincts of people are literally being twisted to regard anime as babies, hence the animu term.
>>29694I think there's an expectation in anime that you do only what anime is capable of like with whacky camera angles. If you watch the bakemonogatari series that's in full effect, they can't upstage Nisho's dialogue so they show a bunch of strange architecture and close-ups with slow-mos of the characters talking and call that a 'show'.
If you want to see Rakugo I'd go watch it on youtube, or Kabuki if you want to see kabuki. Watching a show like Kabubki-bu! is about as far as you can get from Kabuki. It was never about the Kabuki, it's about showing people with anime what kabuki is like, Kabuki-bu! specifically is clearly aimed at a young female audience just like Shouwa Genroku is aimed at fujo/mature audiences.

Fate Apocrypha is stand-alone but it helps to know the lore of the world.
Fate Extra is stand alone, not very good, quite odd and while it does have some recurring characters it does not seem to actually be set in the same world.
Prisma Illya is also set in a kind of alternative world and also stand alone with some recurring characters.

Can anyone tell me an anime or manga similar to Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun, but without the succubus? I feel like that would have potential and that it would exist. Sorry for being so specific.
No.33284
>>33010Watched it last month. Not bad but not memorable. There's no real grand purpose to the show I could see, other than maybe moralizing about the "herbivores vs carnivores" social dynamic. Whatever, I thought. I lost interest and continued watching like I was just a voyeur to a weird alien planet in the middle of some weird evolutionary struggle, i.e. learning not to eat your classmates.
No.33288
>>33284The manga has a lot more to it, and a lot more interesting stuff. Though it can't stay focused on more than a few things at a time, but it goes into the ethics of crossbreeding, and even a bit of existential stuff as legosi contemplates what he wants to do with his life.

It isn't that it is CGI, it is that it is bad CGI with a bad frame rate and a fundamental lack of ability to do even the basics of creating a scene visually without in some major way fucking up.

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.

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.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.
