Anime Nation

what fall anime are you going to watch
Click to expand...

A few, less than last season...

Basically SAO, nanatsu taisai, Fate Babylonia, Honzuki no Gekokujou (surprisingly good watch), Kono Oto Tomare! (good if you like music, more even if you are into traditional music), Mugen no Juunin (watched the original, it was good, this might be better), No Guns Life (pretty good too), im continuing with Vinland Saga, and Chihayafuru (im into tradition, and i enjoy this one) and im starting Psycho Pass 3 as well, hope it's good...
 
I'm stoked Hi Score Girl II is out!
 
Watched the Psycho Pass movie trilogy, the first wasn't bad, the second was different from the norm and not bad, but the third, that was some great stuff, like i was watching something else entirely, great action movie, entirely new setting with new players and an old face returning, a great outlook of the world outside Japan...

As for the third season, not happy with how it started, it's still pretty good, but something important changed, i need to see how it will change the whole story...

As for the new season, Chihayafuru can hype me with every episode, it's like watching an intense sports match with your favorite team vs their rivals...
 
Kemono Michi and Cautious Hero is holding my interest this season. Try as I might I just can't stop watching isekai shit. Although most isekais can't hold my interest whole season. I only watched Demon Lord Retry and Arifureta last season. My interest for Milfsekai dropped off after realising it's too lewd for my sake.
Fire Force is also interesting. Animation is sublime but just can't get into the story/lore/world. Complete opposite of Shield Hero last last season. Animation was shit but the world was interesting enough that I dropped the anime to read light novel. Same for Vinland Saga. Looks awesome but just can't get into the story.
Idk for some reason I just can't stand watching Hero Academia. I'd rather watch funny moments compilation (plus occasional fight scenes) rather than the anime itself.
Oresuki is also nice. But so nice that I got impatient and jumped to the source material, the manga. Now can't stand the pudgy faces of the anime.
 
  • Reason anime became huge in your life
Don't really have a reason, remember randomly picking up Akira on VHS because I thought the motorcycle looked cool at a flea market when I was 7, from there it just creeped in and led to GitS, Cowboy Bebop and so many others that I can't remember the names of.
  • Favorites (movie, series, even cartoons) and describe why you enjoy them so much.
Cowboy Bebop, Robotech, Gundam, Blame, Gundam and more Gundam. Why I enjoyed them? The Future, space exploration, spaceships, Robots, Transhumanism. What more can I say, unfortunately there aren't any anime that I encompass those subjects, as newer stuff tries to have a more broader appeal by being upbeat and power levels. When an anime that does check the right boxes do pops up I've long since read the manga and don't get much enjoyment that I could have. e.g. Blame!, Knights of Sidonia,

Newer stuff doesn't seem to have the same appeal as the stuff I grew up watching, there are some occasional gems that pop up like Redline but those are far and few in between and never a long running series.

I see you are also a man of culture, one of the VHS i remember renting was, The Wings of Honneamise, this might be something you might enjoy.
Hmm, on the space stuff matter, i could recommend Stellvia of the Universe, Outlaw Star (i feel you would like this one, huge space roboship pirate hacking at eachother with giant axes), Infinite Ryvius, these are some of the great oldies you seem to enjoy, you have ofc the whole Macross saga as big or even bigger and better than Gundam, there's Vandread too, Mouretsu Pirates (a more modern take on space piracy), Kanata no Astra (modern space exploration with complicated story), and many more...
Try Freedom too, similar art-style to Akira.
EDIT: How could i forget Gunbuster and Diebuster, Gunbuster's art direction and final are something special, and Diebuster with all the craziness...

On the manga side of thing, Try Biomega and Aposimz from Nihei...

I've been meaning to give Wings of Honneamise a proper watch, never got round to watching it yet though.
Highly recommend watching the original Macross which is what the 1st Robotech used for source material, if you go back to some earlier post you will know I absolutely detest Robotech and Harmony Gold. =)
Also check out Macross plus and Zero(prequel events before 1st Macross event starts), Outlaw Star is great shout and I would also throw in Big O in there too.

I read everything Nihei, and hope he's working on somethin Seen a good portion of Macross, I haven't watched some of the earliest stuff and also have watched Outlaw Star but some reason seemed cursed to not be able to watch the final episodes, forget or can't find them when I do remember. I take the others as recommendations and look into them.

IMacross Plus is one of my favorites, How did I forget it. Didn't get into robotech either, think I watched 1/2 but pretty sure I didn't make it through half of one before it was "Terraforming fungus, hivee minded mini people alien invaders? Queen/Princess/Hive? I'm out"

Nihei's newest work is Aposimz, try it out, there's maybe a mix of blame with Sidonia...
 
The fight sequences in Fate GO: Babylonia have been amazing. Its especially satisfying if you've played the game.

If you haven't.... you aint gonna understand anything thats going on.

If you don't want your house firebombed this isn't the correct way to go about it
 
So many men of culture.
 
I had a deeper look at what that gundam SD game was.... Its basically a mobile or handheld console game that's been ported to or made for PC...

The game trailer on steam tells you very little about the gameplay.


Its basically a turn based RPG with a tonne of animations and cutscenes

They want £40 for the standard version or £60 for the deluxe version... I'll buy it for £7 on sale next year or get it for 'free' since its a non multiplayer game.

google play market has tons of games like these. a lot of them are free as well! asking £40 for a game like this that you dont even need the power of a pc to run is an April Fools joke.


Super Disappointed.

Stick with the Super robot wars.
 
IM a bit late to the Dr. Stone party but episode 1 managed to catch me. Its a bit childish but the premise is interesting.

Basically, IN episode 1 a mysterious green light covers the earth and turns every human being (and swallows) to stone. 3,700 years later... the first couple of people de-petrify ...
