>it's an "Kiruta kidnap Mayu" episode
>>140136024
I dropped the TV series because of this.
>>140136024
I've been wondering, can I enjoy other Harlock anime without completing the original TV series? I like the cast, setting, etc but it's a long drag sometimes.
>>140136359
Galaxy Express 9999 Harlock is best Harlock
Who's the best Reina?
>>140135915
Phantom World Reina is a characterless, irrelevant waste of existence.
How is this even a question?
Asuka

This.
Is she a good detective or just eye candy?
She looks like an ayylium.
>eye candy
Neither.
Cool your /a/utism and hold off on the gb2gaia comments - if you're old enough to remember stuff like Bubblegum Crisis or Tenchi on TV then you'll have a soft spot for dubbed anime songs.
Here's some ones I like to start people off:
One Punch Man OP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMCYNH1EJTg
Nichijou OP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJDaLNFCMEg
Blumenkranz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7wryLYBzZg
A Cruel Angel's Thesis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJuexdl_c5s
Even if the delivery can sometimes be amateurish (but some also are really quite professional), above over types of translation I think English versions can be interesting because you really HAVE to change the lyrics - if you just do a literal line reading it'll rarely scan properly and sound awful - so adjusting the text while keeping the spirit can lead to interesting results.

Sapphire, the same chick who did that Blumenkranz one OP posted, also did a version of Before My Body Is Dry. I like how she changed that fucking cringeworthy "I gotta find out who killed my dad" to "I gotta fight but it hurts so bad", a genuine improvement on the original.

we PTSD Mitsuki and tacticool Orochimaru now
>>140135258
Kishimoto just needs to lay Naruto to rest and leave it alone. This is just unnecessary.
>>140135258
also heres the Burto page
>>140135318
he wants to but WSJ won't let him.
And i think Mitsuki one-shot isn't unnecessary since Sarada got gaiden and Boruto got movie and all...
Want to get into Ghost in the Shell. Whats the ideal order to watch the films and anime?
>>140134822
watch the original movie (the 1995 version, 2.0 is shit) then the 2nd movie which isn't as good. watch 1st season of SAC and if you like it watch the 2nd season. watch arise if you want to waste your time
>>140134964
This, also watch SSS after the two SAC seasons if you like them.

Kill yourself
Name other deep manga & anime than Hokuto No Ken and Berserk that could be written as an epic tale.
Protip : you can't. These aren't the best written manga ever but they are undoubtedly the heaviest in raw emotions.
Don't make me bump my thread /a/
but who was guin saga
>>140134345
Fuck off.
Why is the term "christian symbolism" used in the context of Evangelion but nobody says LotR has "norse symboslism" or Dune has "islamic symbolism"?
Because those stories have redeeming qualities so they don't need to focus on how deep and metaphorical and exploding cross is.
>>140134131
But they do say Dune has Islamic symbolism and LOTRs has Biblical and Norse symbolism.
>>140134208
No, it's people in the west focusing on it. I've read interviews with Anno and Tsurumaki and it's always people from western magazines asking them about the meaning of the christian symbols. Japanese just look at it as part of the setting and aesthetic that generates a certain mood. Just like the norse elements in Tolkien's and islamic (multi-religious actually) elements in Dune.
Evangelion is about escapism, LotR is about the corruption of power and Dune is about the limits of the human mind. It's not like any of those themes couldn't be presented with different settings and for that matter probably characters and stories as well. But somehow only with Eva people get butthurt about it.
such a good series
started nice, ended shit
I really enjoyed a few songs

Just finished this.
Kinda disappointed, but I liked it enough.
Your thoughts?
>everyone is secretly gay
It was shit. Also how the fuck did they power a gay robot with lychee fruits?
There's a prequel, if I remember right.
Kind of forgettable like a lot of manga to be honest.
Do you think there will ever be another REAL fantasy anime like Slayers or Rune Soldier, or will it all be "stuck in a game" trap?
>>140133736
>or will it all be "stuck in a game" trap?
Yes, now go watch Konosuba and Ixion DT.
>reincarnate him in a parallel world with MMORPG elements
Truly, this is on par with greatness.
>>140133736
You're saying this doesn't count?
I know it's too much to ask but there should be more following tracking shots like this in anime.
Most examples I've seen use either 3D or partially 3D backgrounds, but I guess being TV anime they're constrained by budget.
>>140133475
>>140133100
Do you not understand how insanely hard it is to animate THE WHOLE BACKGROUND by hand?
It costs so much money to do that. Most studios will try to get as much screentime out of a single background as possible.
Hey /a/ I wanted to know, in your opinion, whats the best anime ever made?
>>140132754
Boku no pico
