はい！　アニメが　好きです！すごいですね！。

Here are our favs.
Nodame Contabile of course of course! You only have 2 seasons on your list. Have you not seen the final season??
Steins Gate.
Currently watching Gin no Saji,
My 10 yo daughter likes acchi kocchi and non non biyori and usagi drop.
My husband really like Chihayafuru. He likes the stories where someone is striving to win/accomplish somthing.
And we quite like Gargantia and kids on the slope (or appollo on the slope is a proper translation I think)
I liked Psycho Pass, but its pretty gruesome!

[swagmaster420x]

wow, you have good taste! im just about to start watching psycho pass : )
i also heard shin sekai yori is good.
but hunter x hunter will always be the best.

[mjames]

Teggen Gurran Lagaan (dont read the summary for this anime cause you'll probably get spoiled)
Kokoro Connect
Ano Hana
Cowboy Bepop
Black Lagoon
Log Horizon
Yahari (Teen Romance)
True Tears
Shiki
Good thing you have Steins;Gate, now go watch the movie
Garden of Sinners (7movies)
Garden of Words
5cm Per Second and every other Makato Shinkai movies
All studio ghibi movies (Miyazaki ftw)
Gundam 00 (if you like mechs)

There's also Fullmetal Alchemist from 2003 but it deviated from the manga so Brotherhood's better. Although a lot of people liked the 2003 one because it was more emo lol

What about a brief summary on these?

I liked Steins;Gates the series.  The movie was so-so.  Probably not worth watching really. 

Steins;Gates is a few 20-year-olds experimenting with time travel.  You see the actual effect when they change the past and the present changes.  I read that's different than a lot of time travel stories.  A lot of stories just use time travel to go to a different place/time and then the story happens there. 


I quickly looked at some other anime, but it looked a bit strange.  Crappy cartoons.  Some 'regular' type of story.  And it looked a little girly so I clicked away or lost interest.

Majority of anime is shitty. It's because the industry has to appeal to a certain demographic that likes fanservice ('accidental' panty shots) and immature humor... sad that there are actually good anime. You should watch KaTAnAgaTARI

Thank god you're not one of those otakus. Thank fckng god. Yo, if you haven't watched psycho pass watch the new edited version. It's absolutely marvelous.


Movies and ovas are the way to go if you want sme decent anime(usually). Seasonal series are getting shittier and shittier. Last season I didn't watch anything, dropped every single show. Haven't checked out annoying for fall season, but hopefully I'll find at least ONE that's decent.

CHEck out fate/stay night, not the old one (bad) but the one that's airing this season. Parasyte is also good, apparently and Amagi Brilliant Park. Ofc Ive seen psycho pass btw

[mjames]

I'll watch fate stay after it's finished so I can marathon it later.

watch fate/zero, that's finished and it is good.

[awesom_o]

I can't say I've watched that much anime, but I certainly love all the Miyazaki films, Attack on Titan, and Ping Pong The Animation!

[swagmaster420x]

I can't say I've watched that much anime, but I certainly love all the Miyazaki films, Attack on Titan, and Ping Pong The Animation!

OMG
U watched ping pong?
Hyperventilated for a second
I didn't know dedicated musicians watch anime... Much less one that's as (comparatively obscure) as ping pong
BUT ITS SO GOOD
I've memorized the names of every song in the OST and can recognize each on hearing
When me and my friends were watching it it was what made our Thursdays. We all agree that it is a masterpiece. One of my friends gets really mad whenever he hears some dingbat say the animation is bad. Another one of my friends has I think written a piece on it. There is an online community that enjoys keeping up with and having critical discussions about anime.

Good anime is pretty rare... But there's so much potential, and the ones that are good can be really FRICKIN good

[awesom_o]

The idea that musicians don't do anything other than music is a myth!
 
I haven't finished Ping Pong, but I'm about half-way through. It makes me crave the game, and sadly I do not have a table right now. It's really good!

I like Anime... it's very artistic compared to western cartoons. And I like some western cartoons also.

I guess I should have known better. You seem very open to the idea of trying new things  .
And yeah, that's what Ping Pong does. For me and my friends it makesus really pumped to play video games. Ping Pong is a very inspiring anime, despite how melancholy it is at the same time.

As for anime being artistic .... HA HA trust me, the overwhelming vast majority of anime is 'plot'-based, and by 'plot', i mean panty shots catering to an audience composed largely of males with a particular liking for underage girls.

Ping Pong is amazing because it's directed by Masaaki Yuasa, who is an incredible director.
If you want to watch more anime, I'll let you know which I think are good and which are trash 

In the meantime, I'll be checking out the first episode of an anime airing this season about music. I like what Ive seen from the PVs:

Thanks! I'll check out the music when when it comes out. Could be fun.

Anything good in the current season?

That list isn't very good, lol

[Bob]

Good to know.  I might not look into it that carefully then.

[awesom_o]

Avatar and Korra are very nice!

[swagmaster420x]

I haven't watched Avatar, but I know it's good. It's just really long and probably contains lots of subplots, which makes me hesitant to commit to watching it.

An anime I just finished watching at the recommendation of my close friend who writes pretty frequently on anime is Haibane Renmei. It's his favorite anime and now it's one of my favorites as well. The pacing is very deliberate and quite mellow and gradual at the start, so it was not the easiest to marathon despite its 13 episode length (although I did marathon it), but when the unfolding reaches its completion it's really spectacular. There are a bunch of great moments throughout, despite it being understated in tone (I really liked the ersatz creation myth). The soundtrack (which I love) is one of the most evocative I've heard and the way it's put to full use shows how excellent and skillful the direction is overall. From the beginning there is a sense of mystique that continues to intensify, and the ending of Haibane Renmei is simply a miracle. Very beautiful and thematically dense, at various moments the writing is low-key breathtakingly poetic. Definitely watch it.

I'm rambling so if you want to know more, just read my friend's (the one mentioned) blog. He has good recommendations. It's here: https://illtimedaugustrain.wordpress.com

Actually we enjoyed Barakamon on Bob's list. If you like those sort of guy/girl strives to acheive X (e.g. nodame strives to be pianist, swimmers in free strive to win relay, city guy in ag. school strives to be farmer in silver spoon, jelly fish geek strives to save boarding house in jellyfish princess etc.) type anime then you'll like Barakamon.

Meanwhile we've been watching Parasyte-maxim.
But my most favouritist anime in the last year was Eccentric Family which I only watched because it was recommended by that kotaku site that Bob posted.
https://kotaku.com/the-eccentric-family-is-a-truly-magical-anime-1447545821
I think it was on the best anime of 2013 list.

[visitor]

Really enjoying
kabaneri of the iron fortress (lots of the talent from attack on titan). Pretty incredible so far. Eagerly wait for each new epi ea week.

my hero academia - great characters, original writing, action comedy, i actually get impatient each week waiting for a new episode

btw finished up fate stay night unlimited blade works. Its obe of the best i have seen on long time. It is  it a remake of original fate stay night  from few years ago. Its an original retelling of the story, different twists and points of view. Its what fate stay night should have been.

rewatching fate zero, it fills in background to unlimited blade works nicely

madoka magica was good.

[mjames]

man i havent watched anything this year. Any good 2016 shows you guys can recc?

and yes, HxH is some good ass shounen. Too bad the author is lazy as fck.

dude seriously give kabaneri of the iron fortress a go, it's a 2016 title, only aired through ep 6 o4 so so far

hero academia is new too, ep 7 hits on sunday

diamadaler prince vs penguin empires is hilarious and raunchy. It spoofs giant robot genre

[diomedes]

I memorize music while watching stuff. Really saves time.

Dennou coil is very good, I'm re watching that and love it, and I'm almost done terror in resonance, which is a recent show, I'd recommend that.

I tried watching the original ghost in the shell, found it boring. Recent stuff, plastic memories was meh, nisekoi was not bad despite its primitive concept. No game no life was terrible. Hai to gensou no grimgar wasn't bad.

Lots of piano music getting memorized. Nearly got the next program ready to go, only one Scriabin prelude left and that's it.

[ybanana]

やっとピアノストリートにアニメの話が出てきた〜！

VIOLET EVERGARDEN

Although Fate Stay Night Unlimited Bladeworks reigns a

supreme as far as well executed animation and smart spending of a huge budget (ie movie budgdt)
This is already causing a stir that KyoAni is laying diwn tye gauntlet on Unfotable.

i mean just this preview taser clip is so beatifiil and KyoAni has a reputation for taking yheir time to put out a well polished story w gorgeous execution. Cannot wait for this, but will gave to, i dont think it will even be complete until at least early to lid 2017...

ps here is a rough initial translation of the teaser synopsis


Auto Memories Doll.
It's been quite a while since that name caused a fuss. Originally invented by Professor Orland solely for his beloved wife, Auto Memories Dolls eventually spread out into the world, and a machine that allows people to rent out the dolls was also created.

"I will run as fast as I can to wherever my customer desires. I am the Auto Memories Doll, Violet Evergarden."

A girl who almost appears to have popped out of a fairy tale with her blonde hair and blue eyes said this with her inorganic beauty and sweet voice.

[swagmaster420x]

yea kiznaiver is hella gay idk why im watching it either.

And violet evergarden is super hype, it won prize for best novel

[mjames]

i swear to god japanese people get their ideas from their anime.

both seasons were so good

Samurai flamenco is pretty good

[mjames]

I watched that back when it was airing. I sort of raged quit when aliens began to show up, because I was expecting and hoping for another direction. It caught me off guard, it pissed me off, and I dropped it. ughhhhhhhhhhhh

btw I watched the new Makoto Shinkai movie
was alright
Sappy teenage drama but eh, it was cute
