Half the catalog is this shit, lets fix that.

>i'm out of the loop
>never watched a chinese cartoon before
>just want something decent to watch
>how do you tell a story with a mango
Take a look at this and see if anything catches your eye: imgur.com/a/3tUcq

>i watched X, want more like it
>i'm looking for something that features X themes
>i want something in this genre
Go ahead and post your specific request in this thread, I'll do my best to answer as I imagine others will.


If this gets decent traction I'll go ahead and write a pastebin that answers frequently asked specific requests, but for the time being just this should suffice.
Also, if you have any decent charts please post them in the thread and I'll add them to the album.

Hey, /wsr/. What should I read next? I realized I don't read manga as much as watching anime, which is odd, because I read in an average speed and can finish something like JJBA: SBR in like 3 days. I want a lot of recs on quintessential manga that I missed out on.

Also I'm currently going to read Oyasumi Pun Pun. After that I'm reading Not Simple, Saikyou Densetsu Kurosawa, Takemitsu Samurai, Blame, then Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou.

This chart was always great for me because instead of just giving me a title and a cover, it gives a short summary too. Gives a much better idea of what I'm getting into. And the selection is pretty much all good aside from a few exceptions.
>>
>>18994
>>19016
Because having a trillion threads that are about essentially the same thing with a bit of variance ends up being clutter.
Think of all the other requests that those threads push out of existence, are they worth less than a simple short request for recommendations that you could simply post here instead?

It's just more organized this way, I think.


>>18993
Please look at the album I linked to in the OP, there's a great deal of classics and general recommendations in those charts.
If you're looking for something more specific, feel free to ask.


>>19020
Thank you, I'll get all the charts that get posted and make a new album in a while.

>>19025
>Think of all the other requests that those threads push out of existence, are they worth less than a simple short request for recommendations that you could simply post here instead?
Yes. They are worth less because one of the two purposes of this board was to move rec threads off /a/.

I don't want to make a new thread so I'll ask here.

>>
>>19025
I don't really think that anime threads are really pushing other threads out of existence. I can however see why aesthetically you wouldn't like it or think that it's otherwise functionally inferior, although I do disagree. I think that if people want to have a dedicated thread for anime stuff, that's fine, but if people don't want to use it, then that's fine too, and I don't think that people are really doing anything wrong by posting threads asking for anime recommendations.
>>
>>19035
I don't see how having a single dedicated thread for this goes against the idea behind the board.
It's not like I'm trying to get rid of anime requests in the board, I'm just trying to order things a bit.

>>19056
>I don't really think that anime threads are really pushing other threads out of existence.
They literally are, though.
This isn't a forum, this is an imageboard; every time a thread gets created another one gets deleted.

>I think that if people want to have a dedicated thread for anime stuff, that's fine, but if people don't want to use it, then that's fine too
I wholeheartedly agree. If this thread dies a silent death I wont even attempt to make another one like it, I just think it's worth giving it a go. I really am not trying to force anything here.

I support this idea. While I'm fine with people making threads for specific requests such as "give me a show like X" or "what are shows in X genre". What I don't like is "give me Chinese cartoon plox :D". A sticky would be useful on cutting down some of the unnecessary work but it shouldn't stop us from answering questions.

After having recommended the same shows repeatedly, I think we need a better system, lest I start foaming at the mouth if I have to type the same show names everyday for the rest of my life.
>>
>>19069
Most people I know use Honeyviewer, and from my limited experience with it it seemed pretty decent, couldn't tell you if there's a better alternative.

>>19070
If a sticky with general recommendations was made it would invalidate part of the board's purpose.
Why not just put it on /a/ in the first place and just keep this board for actual requests or people asking for sauce?

I really don't disagree with you though, making a sticky makes a lot more sense than this, it's just that this board's implementation is a bit messy and the best course of action isn't clear.

Cool thread, OP

It seems we are in sore need of newer anime recommendation chart. I think I'll go ahead and create a new chart while we're at it. Pic related is quick mockup of the chart for 2011-2015.

Feel free to chime in if there is worthwhile shows that should go inside the chart.

Please recommend me some good Anime, I just started getting into it.
So far I've seen:
Angel Beats
K-On
Highschool DxD
Ranma 1/2
And I just finished Season 1 of Spice and Wolf.

I liked all the ones I've seen so far a lot.
I'd be interested in more fantasy/medieval, comedy, slice of life, romance and/or ecchi anime.
I've also been putting off watching shows with subs so if possible, please recommend Anime that has been dubbed.
I hope you can help me /wsr/.
>>
>>19213
Consider reading the thread, friend.
>>
>>19214
There is so many to choose from though and not only do I hate making decisions, I also would prefer a direct recommendation of something based on the little background in anime I have.
>>
>>19216
Your background offers no valuable information, you've just watched whatever you came across that didn't seem like dogshit.
You're also limiting yourself to dubbed content, with which I honestly can't help you, as English isn't my native language and I have no idea what's available in that market.
Also, if you picked ten shows from any point in time randomly, seven or eight of those would fit into your interests; there really isn't much to go on from.

If you're not comfortable with making your own decisions and with all this said you still want someone to point you in a specific direction, the very best recommendation I can give you is to fully immerse yourself in the brilliantly designed world of Boku no Pico, a true masterpiece of our time which I'm sure you will enjoy in a deep and personal level, as it appeals to gigantic faggots like you.

Im looking for music oriented anime that has guitars. I can swallow any genre.

Only ones that comes to mind besides the obvious K-on are Detroit Metal City and Nana, though the josei on the latter might be outside your comfort zone.
There's plenty more, I'm sure, but nothing else comes to mind.
>>
I don't need specific titles, but I wanna hear your guys' favourite directors, especially outside of the obvious ones. Episode directors are cool too. Anyone with a distinctive style.
>>
>>19265
I'm a bit ashamed to admit I don't know much about directors in this scene, only one that really comes to mind is Yuasa.
I generally think more about the source material and the studio to estimate the likely quality of something I haven't seen, like I would with directors for live action movies or TV shows.

You seem to know about this quite a bit more than me, would you mind telling me what you would've responded to your post if it wasn't yours?
>>
Can anybody recommend me an anime similar to the Monogatari series and Mekakucity Actors? Something with that kind of experimental art style and dialogue.
>>
>>19280
Those two were both made by studio SHAFT, who tend to do that kinda stuff and generally produce high quality material, even if some people talk shit about it.
Here's the stuff they've done, I'd recommend pretty much all of it.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaft_%28company%29#Produced_series
>>
>>19269
Yuasa's definitely good. Watch all his stuff if you haven't. My favourite director is Naoko Yamada because I adored K-On! and TLS; she's got a great feel to her work, like American indie film. Obviously Miyazaki and Takahata, the latter especially is probably my favourite film director. Of course gotta mention Kon when talking about movies, also Hosoda, Hara and Katabuchi are good. Oshii is always there on "best of" lists but I've only seen Ghost in the Shell. Been going through old Dezaki shows lately, he's got a great style too.

I'm new to all this stuff too, all these guys can be found by googling around for them or lurking /a/ for any period of time. Trying to find smaller names to watch out for. Like Itsuki Imazaki had a show last season, he's very distinctive. And Nakamura (Aiura) has one starting in winter, from what I've seen his shows are very colourful with gorgeous watercolour backgrounds.
Besides them I can namedrop small time indie guys but I'm mostly interested in auteurs within the commercial sphere.

This is really what my problem is. I wanted to read another fantasy story, something like Chaika the Coffin Princess, but now I've gotten 46 chapters in Bartender. Sci-Fi is probably out, the closest I've gotten to that sort of thing is Trigun which I liked.

I don't really plan on downloading anything else, and I can't really post a list of all the manga the torrent very easily (there's 569 of them), so I'll just link the /t/ thread it came from:

>>>/t/609015
>>
>>19830
Oh yeah, I like Matsumoto. Kyousougiga was excellent. I had a lot of problems with Kekkai Sensen, but looking at the shots alone was fun. Haven't lost faith in her yet, hopeful for whatever comes next. I thiiink she's doing one of the Bones shows next year?
I'll contribute to your modern anime list thingy once I get some time to organize my thoughts later. I always wanted something like that too. TV only?
>>
>>19855
I just checked every files, but the fantasy stuffs I would recommend (Berserk, Claymore) isn't there. I see there is Akumetsu there, I think you should try reading that. IIRC that is an acclaimed Manga. Haven't read that myself, so I can't really comment anything about it.

If you fine with newer manga, there is some interesting fantasy manga like "Mahou Tsukai no Yome" and "Dungeon Meshi". There are still mid-20 chapters out.

>>19862
>I had a lot of problems with Kekkai Sensen
I think that is more problem on the Nightow side. She polish that average manga into that good package. That is quite achievement, I would say. The fact that the ending have to be changed due to the crazy sales doesn't help too.

> I thiiink she's doing one of the Bones shows next year?
Don' think so, i haven't heard her tied with any new project yet.

>

Hey /wsr/
I started Boku no Hero Academia after hearing about it in a recommendation thread here.
But now I'm all caught up and I'm starved for a new manga.

I'm mostly into shonen that have worlds filled with diverse and unique powers.
Some of my favorites include:

Konjiki no Gash Bell
Psyren
One Piece
Hunter x Hunter
One Punch Man (both the webcomic and the manga)
JoJo

I've picked up Fire Brigade of Flames as well but I've run into the same problem as Academia.

This is the most recent anime recommendations chart that I saved from /a/. To my knowledge, there are no newer revisions (of this exact format; of course there are many other charts from different authors, made in completely different styles).

I don't really want to use any other chart, due to its simplicity. It doesn't try to convince me to watch something with synopses and descriptions, it's just a picture and a title. I really like how in-your-face it is, like "Just watch these shows. You don't deserve a fucking explanation, just watch 'em."

I saved this chart around 5 years ago, and it's served me quite well. Despite that, I do believe it's long overdue for an overhaul. So I've decided to tackle a small project of my own, that is, revising this chart.

To cut a long story short, I have a /wsr/ of my own here. I could use some help with recommendations.

Both manga and the anime are separate adaptation of the LN, that's why the manga update is slow(manga started 2008).

Are you stupid? It's a painfully simple show. Even so how the fuck did you like it less than SAO, One Joke Man, Tokyo Edge, No Game No Life, and the rest of that trash

I guess I worded that poorly. I didn't care about the point.

The first time I watched SAO I thought it was going to be my favorite because it had such a good concept, but it was just fucked after like the first 8 episodes or so. OPM is great in general IMO, funny and badass with great animation. Tokyo Ghoul was just ok imo, but it was pretty cool with the psychological aspect. NGNL was really clever and visually pleasing. I don't think the rest of it was trash either

Maybe the reason I thought NHK was bad was because of how painfully simple it was.

No problem, it's definitely worth the watch. I'd start with railgun and then watch index if you plan to watch the whole series.

Index is more action-y and stuff and Railgun is a little more laid back, but there's still plenty of action IMO

Alright, big guy. Here's my 30. Picked based on me thinking they're good or some degree of cultural importance. I don't think there have been 30 truly worthwhile shows since 2011 though, so a lot of these are like C+ to B+ in my opinion. Did the best with what I could. Criticize away.

Oh, I thought it was a plan-to-watch list. You've seen hardly anything so it's hard to recommend shit out of the blue. Tamako Market has a very similar feeling to K-On! though, I guess, so if you want more of that kinda thing then definitely check it out. Same director. Sequel movie is one of my favourites as well. Otherwise just lurk /a/ and watch everything you see mentioned. You're plebby as fuck and you need to build experience. Try watching a mix of good recent shows (the guy in this thread is trying to make a list, I just posted 30 and I recommend you watch all of them) and historically important stuff too.

Any suggestion to improve it? Pic related is my draft on what should go in the list. The red one is the list itself, while the green one is "honorable mention" that didn't make the cut.

Of course it is riddled with my own personal bias and end up not that good, so feel free to criticize it.

I'm looking for an anime that has really nice mech fights and a great soundtrack. That or anything in the similar vein of Eva with the mysterious, other worldly vibes, doesn't have to be mechs. Currently watching Madoka, but I can only stomach it for like one more episode before I drop it.
>>
>>20173
Most of the shows on both lists aren't that remarkable.
I'd generally go with artsy or legitimately well done stuff, considering most people who'll be using a chart like this aren't that used to generic anime and the bullshit it comes with. Telling them to watch Idolmaster is like telling an 8 year old to watch Irreversible.

Stuff like Dandy, Ping Pong, maybe even Hyouka and such that have a sort of universal appeal, that you could show to any person with any preferences and at the very least they would understand why it's good; that's what you want to put in a chart for people who're not familiar with this medium.
Look at the first two charts in OP's album, those are what I'd aim for.

First and foremost it should be based on merit since one of the chart goal is introductory item for uninitiated people as >>20190 said.

Also thanks for the suggestion. I don't think Yuru Yuri should go in there since it rely quite a lot on Anime tropes.

Now we're getting somewhere. I like the little year markers, too, though they might look weird when the thing is full. Besides what you've got on there now (which is fine), I think you should add:

>2014
Shirobako

>2013
Kyousougiga
Uchouten Kazoku

>2012
Shinsekai Yori

>2011
Hourou Musoko
Hunter x Hunter
Mawaru Penguindrum
Nichijou

That about covers what I'd consider absolutely essential for any list like this. I dunno, just trying to put together a little starting point without interjecting a whole bunch of personal taste. All are generally well put-together, creative or important in some way. I think anyone could enjoy 'em.

>>20231
It's pretty funny. If you liked Yuru Yuri you'll almost definitely like it too.
>>
>>20232
Non Non Biyori is probably more "essential", if there's only space for one. I'd say they are different enough to have both (NNB is more iyashikei, YYS is more gag comedy)
Nichijou definitely needs to be there though, and Yuyushiki is more similar to that, so if you had to pick 2 of those three, pick NNB and Nichijou.

Not chartguy, but the problem with this list is how broad it is.

>kokoro connect
It looks pretty bad most of the time, generally poor production values, narrative isn't particularly creative, interesting or well-executed.
>amagi brilliant park
Fun show, but top 30? Nothing it does really stands out in way which makes me immediately consider it. Looks good, but there are better looking shows out there. Funny, but do you think its jokes are especially well-handled? Enough to set it apart from the plethora of other comedies we have to choose from?
>rolling girls
Some very nice cuts but they are few and far between. Very inconsistent overall. Didn't watch the whole show, granted, but I just can't see it as anything particularly special.
>conrevo
Not finished but that's no biggie I guess. I don't think it really has anything going for it though. Seems very messily put-together. Some decent sakuga at times though.

That's all I'll immediately whine about that I've seen. Plenty of other questionable stuff on there but I'll let people who have actually seen those shows comment, I guess.
>>
OP here.
I honestly didn't expect this to get much traction, so I didn't put much effort into the thread header as a result. I've started a couple generals on /vg/ in the past, I'll write something better and put it into a pastebin for future use. Might include a short FAQ covering media players and download sites in there as well.

The problem with starting generals, though, is that a decent header needs to have a significant amount of material, and just the album with the charts wont be enough.
If any of you can think of useful information that should or should not be up there, do let me know.

Good direction, all around nice looking (best looking PA Works show, in my opinion) and sufficiently well animated with a few very nice cuts of animation interspersed. I thought it was pretty well written, and the way it fuses real world Japan with folklore is pretty cool. You're definitely right that it doesn't get talked about though, which is a shame. Outside of /a/ however I've seen it top a lot of lists for the year, for blogs and twitter guys who at the very least have the appearance of taste (not like, MAL or whatever, god knows what they like).

>>20255
I'll accept the quality of kokoro connect but some situations are really unexpected and makes you skip a beat more than once, maybe personal taste. I'll acept it if it's not on the list
>Amagi brilliant park
Besides being an outstanding KyoAni's product, you get to see an mc being based on a theme park with magical creatures, dapatation-wise is great, might even be better thatn the source, you get to know every character really well, great OST, I thought of adding some variety and there's Amaburi. Now it's the only one I saw during '14 so maybe if I saw something better could not have added it
>rolling girls
of that 4 you mentioned, this one is the less I would be willing to remove, great OST. unexpected developement, flashy scenes, artsy, neat characters basically FLCL of the new decade and some fresh air for the 2015
>Concrevo
I can't help to love histories where you have to solve the timeline puzzle and enjoy some great sakuga, this one may be personal taste allright but I think it deserved some consideration

Thanks for criticizing anons, it's been a while since I had some "peaceful" discussion regarding /a/

>>20264
When this is done, consider coloring the borders and adding a legend to tag certain shows for certain qualities, like being newfag-friendly or the opposite.

>>20264
Just to be sure, towards who is this chart aimed for? someone already into /a/ or just anyone who wants to see some good anime?

>>20259
Not sure what to put in for downloading manga, I just use >>20230 but putting that in the OP would not be a good idea.
>>
>>20277
Hm, yeah I'd probably be cool with Amagi, it just doesn't really strike me in that way. If it's a "top 30" it's probably much closer to the bottom of that list. I dunno, that's my gut feeling. Rolling Girls definitely had a nice soundtrack and aesthetic, but like, FLCL was good for completely different reasons. Where it was tight, intricately put together and thematically dense, Rolling Girls just seemed kinda lost to me (outside of the first two episodes, which I really liked), like it was tough to pick out what it was going for at times. Ditto with Conrevo, but maybe I just haven't given it enough of a chance. I still gotta lot to catch up on with that show.

Uchouten Kazoku was my personal AOTY for 2013,
The Yozakura Quaretet remakes has probably the best sound design in a seasonal anime while also having extremely solid action scenes and strong animation.
SamFlam is a coming of age story disguised as a love letter to everything sentai, disguised as a slice of life.
Monthly girls is probably one of the strongest comedy shows in recent years.
Kokkuri-san is a fairly funny dark comedy that is fairly unique.

Also Amagi is a fairly weak show, it has some strong jokes but it feels fairly inconsistant and I don't feel like it ever does anything well enough to justify calling it one of the stronger shows of the last five years.

I also wouldn't gamble on Concrevo as it's not finished yet and could go either way. Hell the lack of haikyuu is fairly surprising considering it was one of the better sports adaptations in the last few years, and the second season has been consistently fantastic.

That's wrong, the BDs are sourced in 1080, so the 720 release are just down sampled, 1080p up samples, and end up looking worse.

Not true, they're generally done in lesser qualities, not necesarily 720.

I'm talking about the BD production, not the anime creation.
The BDs are sourced in 1080p, the anime itself is 720p, but the studio upscales the BD to 1080p period. Any 720p BD rip is downscaled from the 1080p upscale of the original 720p.

There are also quite a bit more than just nyaruko. You can find out which anime being produced in what resolution at http://anibin.blogspot.com/

Do report me if you like bending the rules through mental gymnastics to fit whatever you want them to be.

Yes I'd delete that line and add a line about if the show wasn't produced digitally (anything before early 2000s basically) 1080 will always have the higher quality because it was produced on a physical cell.

Basically just do what this anon is saying. Any series prior to the digital age of animation should always be viewed over 1080p because of Analogue/Physical technology has the direct drawings/cels. Then you can say shit from the 2000's till now are all probably 720p because they aren't physical and are digitally made in 720p natively.

Just look at Outlaw Star, Cowboy Bebop, Takarajima, Rose of Versailles, and Neon Genesis Evangelion (Some) for real good 1080p high quality Blu-Rays.

How about this:

>Not unless the source material was produced in celluloid.

>>20362
Yes. That is perfectly good. Also tell em to check if there were revisions in the BD version of anime.

>>20364
For example stuff like Galactic Heroes having some episodes reanimated or Evangelion missing the cells from episode 18.

Stuff like that to inform people to check beforehand.

Generals are cancer. Pure cancer. They're not how imageboards are supposed to be used. Fuck moot for enabling this bullshit and creating /vg/ instead of outright banning them like he's done in the beginning and how every person with half a brain was asking him to.
>>
>>20390
not op, but with due respect, the only cancer I detect in this thread is you and your blatant shitposting
>>
>>20390
Your a shit eating asshole. I'm not OP, but Generals are needed for anti-clutter on 4chan. No one liked /v/ before /VG/ existed. /v/ has always been a shit hole and nothing can stop that. This type of thread adds more discussion and gains less clutter for the mods to delete. Moot probably made /VG/ for the sole reason for it to be easier for mods to regulate threads and so that spam doesn't happen as often. No one wants another Gamergate and Code Geass to happen again.

You're making the highly rash assumption that they photographed the cells at a higher resolution than 480 (the highest resolution the customer could actually acquire the product in), and that they then kept these oversampled masters, and that they then resampled from these masters.

You're assuming that they didn't shoot on 16mm, make a 480 master for TV and DVD, and then for the BD they never anticipated making, upscale the master and throw a load of digital filmgrain over it.

There's not 1080 lines worth of detail in 16mm anyway, and remastering from film is expensive. Outside of seminal anime from massive studios, the analogue master may not even exist anymore.

The idea that because bluray is 1080, and analogue is analogue, so any bluray where the source was analogue is therefore 1080, is woefully naive.
>>
>>20388
Are you sure it's working?

OP's trying to make "request general", yet this instance of "request general" has already turned into a discussion about upscaling.
>>
>>20409
Try these: >>19171

>>20412
It's naive to assume they all are, it's also naive to assume none are.
This really isn't at all meant to be perfectly accurate and cover all the intricacies of analogue to digital conversion, it's just a shot and concise FAQ.
I appreciate you taking the time to explain this in detail, but there's a character limit and people's attention span is quite short, I'll keep it as is.

>>20414
It's turned into a bunch of conversations about a bunch of things.
Making a decent general requires feedback and constructive conversation, of which there has been a fair bit in this thread.
There's also been several people getting their requests answered, and hopefully also several passive lurkers who didn't feel like making a new thread after reading this thread or looking at the charts here.
Having this thread doesn't negatively affect anything besides you and a few other people's feelings, please stop with the inflammatory shitposting.

Just look at Macross for a 1080 Bluray that's only 1080 because the format's 1080.

And that's not a half-assed remastering of an obscure, cheap OVA, that's the fully-restored, remastered edition of Macross.

Hey, here's an idea: why not move this thread to >>>/a/ , and get rid of /wsr/ entirely?

If everyone pitches in and does as OP describes, there'd be no need for a request board, just his thread.
>>
>>20601
If anything they should delete the board and continue banning requests. Now anyone who starts browsing won't learn to reverse image search, find their own sauce, or be self sufficient. There have already been a few underaged posters being blatantly obvious they're underaged being caught on this board, and it's not even a week old. It just attracts newfags and underaged.

Clearly Giant Robo is an unfair comparison, because it was filmed on 35mm. And it shows that there was some grain removal. It personally is one of the best anime out there that transfers very well to sub-1080p.

Sure it ain't pure 1080p, but it is higher then 720p.

Good morning /wsr/.

We've reached the halfway mark with 16 titles now. I added title mentioned here multiple time and planned to add these following title:

>Jojo
>HxH
>Steins Gate
>Tiger & Bunny
>Hourou Musuko
>Jinrui
>Aku no Hana
>Haikyuu
>Sakamichi no Apollon
>Fate Zero
>OreGairu

If you think some shows should enter or leave the chart, just comment away.


I also added some information you asked to add to the chart

>Newfag friendliness
The color information is on the bottom left part of the chart. The color i used on the visual itself is a placeholder, so don't take that seriously. I am still ifffy with the name, maybe you guys with better naming sense have better idea.

>Episode count
It is located at top left part of the visual. I am not sure what to do with multi season series like Space Dandy or Non Non Biyori. Should I just add the episode count and mention that it has multiple seasons?

>Genre
It is below the visual, plain and simple

Explore more into anime/manga. You could unlock much more potential.

Code Geass = Legend of the Galactic Heroes

Clannad = Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso (I don't typically like melodramatic shows, but you seem to enjoy em).

FMA Brotherhood = Jojo's Bizarre Adventure/Hunter X Hunter/Berserk. Each one have a Shounen battle plot, but do them drastically differently.

TTGL = Anything Hiroyuki Imaishi or Gainax pretty much. If you want to have a direct anime then Giant Robo/Getter Robo Armageddon may be your testosterone campy adventure that you need.

Stein;Gate = Tatami Galaxy (Pretty much the best Time Travel based anime in existence)
>>
Please include Nichijou on your OP please.
>>
>>20944
HxH and Jojo are a must to be inserted for this decade.

Steins;Gate is a maybe, but since you have Madoka in there might as well insert it in for consistency.

Because both of those series are unanimously hated on /a/.
>>
>>20948
It's shit, you got told off from /a/ for a reason.
>>
>>20951
Nichijou requires some understanding of japanese humor to be fully appreciated tho, I wouldn't put it on a newfriend rec list.
>>
>>20955
I haven't been on /a/ for years.
>>
>>20948
That's a really shitty suggestion get free card for good anime.

It's better to develop your own tastes from other people that recommend you stuff rather then a shit "guiding your finger with your eyes closed" situation.
>>
>>20950
I mean I've seen plenty of others those were just some of my favorites.
>Legend of the Galactic Heroes
One of my things is I don't like to watch anime that's too long. Brotherhood's length is about as long as I'm willing to go.
>Your Lie in April
Seen it. I was expecting better but it wasn't bad
>Jojo/Hunter x Hunter
See Legend of the Galactic Heroes
>Berserk
I'll check that one out
>Anything Hiroyuki Imaishi
Seen Evangelion, and KLK, and I don't have any interest in FLCL, but I'll check out the lesser known stuff
>Tatami Galaxy
I'll take a look
Thanks anon
>>
>>20959
Sorry, just some reddit turd posted it on /a/ a couple of hours ago.
>>
anyone posting MALs for recommendations?
>>
>>20961
Fucking this.

This is why /a/ hates rec threads so much, idiot kids just want to be told what's hip to watch and never bother to develop their own taste.
>>
>>20968
but if I say I liked X and you say watch Y, how is that any different?
Just curious.
>>
>>20962
>See Legend of the Galactic Heroes
You can't be this serious right? Jojo isn't that much longer then Brotherhood and Berserk is longer then all of these combined.
Legend of the Galactic Heroes is worth the investment if you want to watch one of the most well written anime in existence.
HxH is the lesser series on my list of things I've recommended to you. It kinda is inconsistent in multiple places, but still lands as one of the best Shounens.

Just give it time.

Or watch most of Gundam if you want an absolute better anime then Code Geass, but has a lot of landing points for you to try.

>>20972
People can put more input into those series then just x and y dude.

Some people need to explain what the similarities it has to specific series.
>>
>>20944
>>Aku no Hana
was this good? all I remember is /a/ making fun of the style and a general consensus that the manga was better
>>
I'm looking for nonshit Jojo part 3 scans. All the torrents from /a/ are ded.
>>
>>20975
It is good and bad at the same time. The artstyle supports the uncomfortable feeling of the MC, but the story doesn't really progress anywhere until near the end. And ends off with a disappointing cliffhanger.

>>20975
Forgot to mention, but both manga and anime are pretty much the same. Only reason why people prefer the manga is because of the easier for the eyes art style, but then again it is still a shit story.

Comparatively to Oyasumi Punpun it does a far better job in portraying an uncomfortable MC and an outstanding/unique art style.

Although I'm not done with it. So far it is one of my favs.
>>
>>20982
Which club
>>
>>20973
>74 episodes
Ehh maybe
I thought Berserk was one of the standard 26?
>Legend of the Galactic Heroes is one of the most well written anime in existence
Well I'm a slut for good plot so I'll put it on my to-watch list but that length is going to put me off it for a while
>>
>>20952
>HxH and Jojo
I think I'll go ahead and add these two.
What do you think should i do with Stardust Crusaders? Create a new entry of it?

>Because both of those series are unanimously hated on /a/.
I like what you are thinking.
That said, S;G is pretty accessible to newfags, so it isn't a really bad choice there.

>>20975
If not anything it is novel. It is interesting title if one want to see radically different style in anime visual. Not that it is a good story.
>>
>>20985
The secret one.
>>
>>20986
Berserk is longer, because it is required to read the manga over the anime consequently. And that is as long as Jojo.

300 or so chapters with 20 pages each if I'm correct.

>>20990
Jojo is a hard nut. You should just put in the Jojo logo and put parts 1-3 on it or something, because if you watch Jojo you might as well watch all of it. HxH is required and so is Steins;Gate even though it is alright.

ALSO add in Space Battleship Yamato 2199. That is one of the best anime of this decade as well.
