>I know the video game is about stripping off girl's clothes in Akihabara or something, why is it good, let alone good enough to be among great battle shonen?
The show is actually far more comedic than the game's story despite following the same concept. As for why it's good, good animation, has fun with the basic concept of the series being the "average life" in Tokyo's otaku heaven, and enjoyed the villain of the week formula you see in Western shows like
Buffy and
Hercules: TLJ.
> A lot of these are just unusual picks, period.
Much of that may have to do with how I try to restrict much of what I watch to original series (Though, obviously, not all like
Murder Princess and
Rail Wars!). If you're asking about "best manga", you may see more familiar works.
> For example I generally don't see anyone talk about Kabaneri anymore
That doesn't mean anything. Also, I don't follow much discussion or following about "current" material, so I guess my viewing it in a vacuum could be why I have that perception. As for the comparison to
AoT, I don't see the connection, but I also haven't read/watched it. The closest series I may compare
Kabanera to is
Highschool of the Dead (Just without the ecchi and based in Feudal Japan).
> Isn't that an ecchi?
Rail Wars! is surprisingly dramatic despite Uno Makoto's involvement. It's much closer to a police drama.
> your list is structured and your picks feel kinda like things he would choose, just as a random guess, so I can't help but wonder if you're that same anon kek
Possibly, but I don't know.
>I've not heard of those mecha picks before, anything to say about them?
Iron Man is basically a soft sequel to the 2008 movie (
In it's own independent "Marvel Anime" world that also incorporates the X-Men and Blade, so nothing else to do with the MCU), where Tony's going to Japan to do some work at the Nippon branch of his company, and people trying to steal his tech and kill him there. One of the reasons I really liked it is because of how the series is focussed upon the aspect that Tony Stark is Iron Man, and Iron Man is Tony Stark, and was ultimately a very uplifting series of on the concept of heroes.
Viper's Creed is based in a future where WW3 came and gone, people are trying to rebuild afterwards. And, the central city of the story is one of those places where they deal with the politics of trying to retain it's sovereignty, all the while facing the public issue that the city is only able to "survive" thanks to to help of foreign mercenaries. Which is where much of the series focuses, as these mercenaries are tasked with protecting the city's freeways from crazed robots that were used in the war but never shut down.It's very well animated, and it boggles my mind that CGI has managed to regress from what was already achieved in that series.
