Anime & Manga recommendations Thread. Anonymous 06/09/2022 (Thu) 19:26:07 No. 863
Just a simple thread for people wanting a certain type of show or manga series being suggested for others to try out or ask question if there are certain series with a bunch of requirements met. I'll Start first, are there any anime or manga series with a MILF protagonist you'd recommend for anyone? Anything where the mother's a protagonist really or at the least an older female.
>>2807 That's true. Here's some example categories then, its okay if some overlaps them since its kinda inevitable, i.e. if you consider One Piece the best battle shounen and the best adventure anime for example. >battle shounen >mecha >adventure >action seinen >slice of life >romance >harem >isekai/fantasy >josei >shoujo >sports >comedy/parody >lewd/ecchi >action >cooking >space opera >sci-fi >cyberpunk/dystopia >horror/edgy >drama >mystery >thriller >music >miscellaneous/other
>>2694 >What does /a/ think is the best anime? The Irresponsible Captain Tylor
>>2694 >>2823 Also, honorable mention to Durarara.
>>2824 >Durarara What an unusual choice, why do you have it so high? I thought it was good, but weird. Certainly not something I'd consider for a top contender. >>2823 What an energetic singer.
>>2825 >why do you have it so high? Really like the music, how the difference characters bounce off of one another, and seeing all of the events slowly building up to the finale. I probably should note that I also liked season two more than season one.
>>2827 >music, different characters bouncing off each other, finale Fair enough, those were good, and things did get pretty crazy towards the end in S1 >liked season 2 more than season 1 That might explain part of it, I never got around to watching season 2 so if I'm missing out on a lot that would change things, especially if it gets crazier than S1.
>>2809 Here are some series I can recommend as being good (Tried to spread them out over what they "could" be classified as, feel free to fight me on a few if you disagree): >battle shounen Akiba's Trip: The Animation Digimon Tamers >mecha Iron Man Viper's Creed >adventure Ko Century Beast 3 Future Boy Conan >slice of life Angel Beats! Durarara!! >shoujo Magic Users Club Shamanic Princess >comedy/parody Renkin 3 Kyuu Magical? Pokaan >lewd/ecchi Amazing Nurse Nanako >action Daphne in the Brilliant Blue Murder Princess >space opera Space Dandy The Irresponsible Captain Tylor >sci-fi Armitage III Ozuma >cyberpunk/dystopia Bubblegum Crisis >drama Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress >thriller Rail Wars! >music Kachou Ouji: Hard Rock Save The Space >miscellaneous/other Blue Drop (Yuri, though fuck that ending)
>>1334 Too Bad Cocktail Knights was so short >Dark Gathering Boy Sensitive to curses and girl who can see ghosts go and play pokemon battles with very fucked ghost/cursed shit Seems to be getting an anime adaptation this year (3Q). >Ura Baito: Toubou Kinshi Pair of girls take on "Shady Jobs" (high pay, ask no questions) mostly ending up dealing with paranormal situations. >Scary College Campus University College girl ends up on everyturn dealing with paranormal situations. Has to enlist the help of Makube Kaoru, the college perosn in charge of "Damage reports"
>>2857 >Too Bad Cocktail Knights was so short did it live up to your expectations? >>2829 I have several questions. >Akiba's trip I've only heard of maybe 1 or 2 video game adaptations (excluding VNs) being done well, Gungrave being one of them, and this was not one I heard anything about. 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? A lot of these are just unusual picks, period. For example I generally don't see anyone talk about Kabaneri anymore besides some of the pretty animations and one girl's back muscles, being looked at as a failed AoT clone or something. >Rail Wars >thriller Isn't that an ecchi? >Amazing Nurse Nanako I remember asking many years ago on 8chan prime for recommendations for anime in a random thread, and one guy recommended this to me before his post got deleted I watched only part of the episode comparing dub to sub before deciding I'd save it for later, for some reason the way 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 Interesting choices though ultimately. I've not heard of those mecha picks before, anything to say about them?
>>2895 >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.
>>2809 >>2829 >mecha Don't know how I forgot about it (Probably because haven't seen it in several years), but Gurren Lagann also belongs on there.
>Nick & Lever A manga about 2 cool and very real american guys living in Japan >That Time Only Akari Got Reincarnated As A Slime Yuru Yuri Isekai
Is Tanya the Evil worth checking out or was that just some shit that got overhyped. >>2808 >Bobobo I completely forgot about that show. I used to laugh at the name all the time when I saw commercials for it.
>>3015 >Is Tanya the Evil worth checking out If you like cute little girl doing horrendous shit to win and giggle then it's worth it. Otherwise it's just average. I can't find anything similar to it though so there's the unique factor.
>>3021 I'll give it a go and see how I like the first few episodes. I keep seeing anons post commie killing images with her and it has me curious.
I need cool anime to watch I've watched all the cool ones already
>>3021 > horrendous shit I don't remember barely any "horrendous shit". She literally just shoots enemies with magic bullets the entire anime. "Evil" my ass.
>>3275 Give examples of what you consider cool anime
>>3275 What kind of animu are you into?
>>3277 Here's what's in my jellyfin 86 Arknights Prelude to Dawn Assassination Classroom Attack on Titan Bluelock Chainsaw Man Cyberpunk Claymore Death Note Demon Slayer Dororo Dr.Stone Gangsta Hell's Paradise Kakegurui Made In Abyss Maquia Mob Psycho My Hero Academia Spy X Family Tokyo Revengers Vinland saga Your Name
>>3279 Watch Fist of the North Star.
>>3279 >Arknights Isn't from some kind of gatcha shit game?
>>3279 Go watch Hellsing Ultimate, I dunno how you didn't already. The dub for it is one of the only ones in history that's better than the sub (which is still quite good, making it even more impressive) Its pretty much the definition of cool.
>>3283 I've watched some of hellsing, that list is just shit I happen to have downloaded. >>3280 Okay >>3281 Yes it's some anime of some gatcha shit I think. I don't know anything about gatcha games.
>>3284 Specifically you want to watch Hellsing Ultimate The original Hellsing is mostly mediocre filler.
>>3285 Yeah I recall it being filler shit. I'll skip to Ultimate then.
I need something to watch, preferably with some action/adventure and a nice story, and ideally longer than 12 episodes.
Recommend me some anime, as long as its good I don't care. Preferably having some form of action in it would be nice I'm in a weird mood

On a whim, I started reading (up to their latest scanlation at least) some popular manga. I usually just read whatever the hell I come across, but this time I went out of my way to see the current state of the industry and what is everyone so hyped about. >Chainsaw Man An absolute travesty. Although the setting is really cool, and the art is equally competent and imaginative, it's one of the most milquetoast shonenshit I've ever read. About the only characters I liked were Denji and Pochita, while the rest of the cast was either super generic or practically gag comedy tier. I really cannot comprehend how can people even find anything endearing about Power, with the personality of a Rick and Morty character, and Kobeni, literally her gimmick is that she sweats a lot and is pressured by her family. The monster design was also super lazy, I liked the concept of the Chainsaw Man, but every other Devilman looks super generic except maybe Bomb Woman, they all have the same features: >Weapons on their appendages >Face looks like the Alien but with the head of a weapon >Occasionally some other wearable Devils were also really disappointing, it's hard to get in touch with characters that exist solely to get killed off two chapters after the fact. The ending was kind of okay, I think it denies a good climatic fight way too much for my liking though.
A classic VN turned anime https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGeCNTZyAws Planetarian: Chiisana Hoshi no Yume Planetarian: The Reverie of a Little Planet >It is thirty years after the failure of the Space Colonization Program. Humanity is nearly extinct. A perpetual and deadly Rain falls on the Earth. Men known as "Junkers" plunder goods and artifacts from the ruins of civilization. One such Junker sneaks alone into the most dangerous of all ruins—a "Sarcophagus City." In the center of this dead city, he discovers a pre-War planetarium. And as he enters he is greeted by Hoshino Yumemi, a companion robot. Without a single shred of doubt, she assumes he is the first customer she's had in 30 years. She attempts to show him the stars at once, but the planetarium projector is broken. Unable to make heads or tails of her conversation, he ends up agreeing to try and repair the projector... https://aniwatch.to/watch/planetarian-1359?ep=19575
I'd quite like some battle of wits anime and manga. Well before this thread was made I made a thread asking for some at >>275.
I'd like some sibling romance anime where there is little or no sex, preferably with the anime building up to the confession and subsequent relationship. I saw Oreimo, Candy Boy, Eromanga Sensei (though it had much fanservice, the siblings had little to no sexual activity or thoughts; though I'd prefer anime without much fanservice) and Boku wa Imouto ni Koi o Suru. Is there anything more?
>>3601 I'm surprised some autist doesn't have a list of all of them. Then again they probably might, I just don't watch that shit much so I never bothered to look. >>3285 Yeah Ultimate was pretty damn good.
Any creepy or disturbing OVA's you recommend for the upcoming Halloween? I'm looking for something short you can watch for one sitting for the coming week or costumes and candy.
