Anime Nation

[dragontamer5788]

Born in the 90s, my favourite era is the 80s-early 2000s era anime as a lot of the studios put in a lot more effort at least from my opinion lol.
I do like some modern era, ones that stand out are still Gundam(big gundam fan), AOT, Jojo Bizarre Adventure, One punch man S1, Castlevania and Baki.
Just to name a few from 80,90s and early 2000s:
- Gundam (Original to 00)
- Macross (Original, Plus, Zero and Frontier)
-GITS
-Guyver The Bio booster armor
-Akira
-Ninja Scroll
-Dragonball and Z
- Saint Seiya will be on my list once after I finish watching it
- Tenchi Muyo
- Neon Genesis Evangelion

I should really compile a anime list of OVAs, series and movies i've watched on my anime list but never got round to doing it.

Given that list, it sounds like you like Sci-Fi (yeah, DBZ is SciFi, lol)

Steins;Gate might be up your alley (from 2011), its arguably a new-style anime but kind of feels retro in its own way. Maybe Time of Eve (2008), but there's almost no action in that one... and instead leans dramatic sci-fi.

Its hard for me to think of a recent hard or soft Sci-Fi anime that I liked, unfortunately. It seems like that was a 90s thing, and kinda died out by the late 00s. Steins;Gate is the newest thing I can think of...

-------

EDIT: Okay, Dragonball Super is different, but it continues the story of DBZ. The arc around episode ~50 or so was incredibly good (Future Trunks comes back!!! ).

With Saint Seiya, I'm thinking you might like "Super-Macho Tall Tales". (I mean, there's that one dude in Saint Seiya literally trained by choking bears in a forest... amirite?). Golden Kamuey reminds me of Saint Seiya in that regards: tall tales and urban legends with regards to survival, soldiers, and the like.

Golden Kamuy does this "meme face" thing that's popular today, but I don't really like that (seems to be the influence of Jojo...). But aside from the meme-faces, the story is largely about early 1900s urban legends and tall tales. Secret maps leading to gold: Ainu sayings ("if you crawl into a cave with a bear in it, it will think of you as kin and won't attack"), cooking in the woods, etc. etc. Its pretty ridiculous at face value, but so was Saint Seiya. So maybe that's something recent you can check out.

Also the meme-face thing... so you're aware that it will happen a lot in this show.

But it really does feel like a proper wilderness / survival show most of the time.

lost sub to this thread. i could probably use pokes for anime to watch, since horriblesubs went away and now i have to rely on crunchroll and its confusing (lack) of notifications

There is a new and improved HS replacement called subsplease and you also have nyaa...

As for pokes AOT is finally good, Mushoku Tensei will probably end up being aots, there should be reincarnated into a slime, non non byori for the sweet slice of life and Yuru camp as well, there's also the continuation of re zero.

This is all for this season...

Just watched neverland 2, I wasn't the biggest fan of the first, but this looks like an improvement, didnt expect it to turn into a fantasy show suddenly...
Intriguing couple of characters are introduced too...

 

[sepheronx]

So I made a $30 mistake.

I purchased Robotech movies and Macros Plus movies from one seller on Amazon, and low and behold, the macross plus movie is in Italian. No English subtitles.

Either I learn Italian (forget that) or I find a buyer.

Hmm, rip it and mux it up?

I just discovered Gokushufudo, not actually anime but live action but it should have... er it's coming to Netflix. I cannot wait to start this with a beer in hand. Ex-yakuza turns house husband...

I have been meaning to check out Steins Gate for awhile but never got around to it.
I am up to date with DB Super being a DB fan.
I'll add the Golden Kamuy to the list if I remember, appreciate that.

Anyway I've downloaded episode 1 of Back Arrow which was only released last weekend, purely because I've heard this:

Also the director is the guy that handled the storyboard for a couple of Gundam series.
Got a giant armored fight scenes which the design kinda reminded me of Zone of the enders and Neon Genesis Evangelion from episode 1.
AOT is finally getting interesting.

You can send that pm my way too please

 

[Rahnak]

@kurosagi01 Could you shoot me a PM as well? Just to see if it's different from the one I use.

 

[kurosagi01]

Uh oh..what have I done.

Speaking of releases, the death of horriblesubs actually turned into a positive or has an upside, because hs was stuck on x264. Now their offshoots are all releasing on x265 yay.

Anyway I've downloaded episode 1 of Back Arrow which was only released last weekend, purely because I've heard this:

Hmmm... the last time I watched a show because of good music was Aldnoah Zero's opening by Kalfina (who did Madoka's ending theme). Music was great. The plot was... eeehhhhh. Not bad enough to hate on, but not good enough to recommend.

But hey, there were mechs. And some of the fights were really good actually. LiSA and Kalfina are probably the best OP / ED singers for the anime community. All of their songs are great.

If an OP / ED is good, I'll favorite it on Youtube. But I'm still going to check out reviews / feel the pulse of the internet community before dedicating myself to multiple episodes. But to be fair... good songs / good background music can help me ignore the flaws of the plot. So having a top-tier songwriter really does help an anime out. (Either making a decent plot feel like a great plot, or a weak plot feel decent).

 

[bubbleawsome]

Sad that Kalafina disbanded

 

[dragontamer5788]

Upon realizing that I'm watching 3 Isekai right now... I decided to tally up all the Isekai that I could see this season.

* Reincarnated as Slime
* So I'm a Spider
* Log Horizon
* Dr. Stone
* Re:Zero
* The Hidden Dungeon only I can enter
* Digimon
* Yashahime
* Mushoku Tensei
* Suppose a kid from the last dungeon boonies moved to a starter town
* Otherside Picnic

Ermm..... wow. That's the most Isekai in one season I've seen for a while. I'll recommend Slime, Spider, and Log Horizon out of the list.

I'll check up on Yashahime and Digimon eventually. Re:Zero and Dr. Stone are popular but they don't match my tastes. I don't know what's going on in any of the other shows aside from their title.

Only about half of those shows would be classified as isekai, at least going by its established usage.
It has to be about someone transported to a different world, otherwise it's just fantasy or sci-fi.

* Slime -- Reincarnation
* Spider -- Reincarnation
* Dr. Stone -- Transported (by turning into stone then unstoned)
* Log Horizon -- Transported
* Re:Zero -- Transported
* Digimon -- Transported
* Yashahime -- Transported: Kagome was definitely Isekai plot. Its getting complicated with the whole forward-and-back thing though...
* Mushoku Tensei -- Reincarnated
* Otherside Picnic -- Transported

Seems like "The Hidden Dungeon only I can enter" and "Suppose a kid from the last dungeon boonies moved to a starter town" are "just fantasy" and I've made a mistake on those two. But I haven't seen those shows and those titles are very isekai-like. So I hope you can forgive me on those two.

I admit that I'm stretching on Dr. Stone and Yashahime / Inuyasha. But surely getting flung into the future (and/or past) counts as an Isekai. After all, "Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" is an all-American Isekai by most definitions... even if King Arthur's Court is "just" late Dark-Ages Britain with some magic thrown in. Similarly, Kagome being thrown into the past where magic / demons still exist is a pretty standard Isekai setup. The issue is about Kagome's nieces, who are now the main characters of Yashahime. Kagome herself is the Isekai protagonist, but is no longer the focus of the story.

Isekai don't necessarily mean you're stuck in the new world either. (See Digimon, .Hack//Sign, and Sword Art Online: a degree of motion between the two worlds is allowed). So Otherside Picnic probably counts.

are there any offshoots that work like they did, with a page that lets you see every episode in a show with links?

cause my main issue with crunchyroll is the chaotic ordering, its a PITA to tell when a new episode is out on the watchlist... like hooray a show i added there 3 months ago is at the top and i missed that attack on titan had new eps

 

[thesmokingman]

BECK??? If we're talking about music oriented

are there any offshoots that work like they did, with a page that lets you see every episode in a show with links?

ssa, ember, asw, ffa anime groups. ssa does 8bit x265, the others do higher bitrate 10bit releases.

 

[bubbleawsome]

Studio Mappa is going crazy with AoT s4. I'm a fan.

 

[Mussels]

I got sent a good one with a layout i like from a member here

its borderline on TPU's piracy stuff, so we cant just link to torrent sites - very few just do rips of free content without going into the naugty territory

Well Back Arrow has no source material/manga/novel to go by according to wiki page so the only way to judge it is by the anime itself which the premise is pretty generic but it could be a good watch still. Decent VA cast, the main character is voiced by the japanese VA of Eren Jaeger from AOT.
I remember 90s and early 2000 was dominated by Megumi Hayashibara and her VA is still pretty big too, can't wait to watch the Shaman King reboot and also Rebuild Evangelion 3.0 + 1.0 is set for its japanese theatrical release this month so we should see it later this year digital hopefully.
