What anime have you been watching lately, robots?
Some of the popular stuff from this season
Academia, Iron Fortress, Mayoiga
Besides that I've been watching Fantastic Children.
What about you?
>>27780068
mostly catching up on my backlog.
past month I watched
>koyomimonogatari
>ping pong
>genius party
>rewatched outlaw star
>chuu2 ren
also been watching kino shit and rom coms for some reason.
>>27780068
What I am watching this spring
Re Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu
Netoge no Yome wa Onnanoko ja Nai to Omotta
Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress
Gakusen Toshi Asterisk
Shingeki no Bahamut - Genesis
this one right there
Catching up on a lot of shows.
Zankyou No Terror
Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica
Parasyte - the maxim
Also rewatched Ping Pong. Not sure what to watch next.
I'm watching Kill la Kill right now. The pink-haired girl is my favorite-- I always like music-themed characters.
Nothing. I don't know if anime just sucks or if it's just me but I can't handle all the cliches anymore. I don't want to see pointless forced moe and awkward cardboard cutout MCs that are special because the plot demands it. Everything just feels like it's made to sell toys for people to jerk off on. I can't make it through an episode of anything.
>>27780068
edgy anime is my go anime
so
Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress
Ajin
Schwarzesmarken
I watched the entirety of angel beats and konosuba yesterday
>>27780139
Ping Pong The Animation is one of my favorites. I've been meaning to watch outlaw star and I've never heard of genius party. An internet friend and I are streaming monster every now and then, you can join us next time if you want?
I just started watching Haruhi, it took me like a fuckin week just to figure out what order to watch the damn thing in, but I think I've got it figured out
>>27780276
>you thought you could have a nice comfy one-on-one thread about anime with op
>update
>9 new replies
>it's cool
stuff this season I've picked up:
>flying witch (yotsuba with a witch basically, suuuper comfy slice of life)
>kiznaiver (mite be cool, mite be fucking awful)
>boku no hero academia (I don't really like battle shonens but I like shows about full-on caped ass superheroes so I'm giving it a shot)
>space patrol luluco (it's trigger, it's a cute short with fun animation, why not)
I finished Katanagatari not too long ago and watched Paprika earlier today.
>>27780342
It's a pseudo-blog post thread. There's always going to be lots of replies to this kind of thread, anon.
>>27780276
Genius Party is actually a couple of movies but made of unrelated shorts. Highly recommend. Masaaki Yuuasa (ping pong's director) has a part in it. Outlaw Star is great, similar to Cowboy Bebop in that it's a space frontier setting but less serious and with more of a fantasy/space opera feel.
Grimgar - Finished it last week, really good, even if it has plotholes.
Chaika 2nd season - Watching, it's okish.
Gakusen Toshi Asterisk - I was expecting Tatsuya Onii-sama DeusEX Machina, but after the first 5 minutes I decided to skim the episodes and I couldn't stop cringing.
Phantom World - Dropped.
Erased - Watching 2nd episode, Interesting so far.
>>27780276
>Ping Pong The Animation
Is this realistic or do they make exaggerated moves like PoT.
>>27780769
Ping Pong the animation is the most realistic sports anime ever made probably
>>27780769
Ping Pong is more about the characters than the sport, but it seemed realistic to me, but I don't know anything about ping pong.
>>27780769
>Is this realistic
the actual ping pong matches are pretty stylized, but they do talk about techniques and grips and swings and all that stuff in decent detail
it's really not a show about ping pong though. ping pong is the backdrop. it's a character drama, it's all about motivation and why people pursue an interest. the characters are all very realistic and sympathetic. if you love a good character-driven drama, you need to watch it
Finished Dagashi Kashi yesterday because I was bored. Was pretty boring and didn't much enjoy it. Only finished it because I only had 3 episodes left.
At anime 400 something, I'm pretty bored with anime generally. I still like cute anime girls and stuff, but I just don't give a shit about watching stuff anymore.
>>27780277
watching it chronologically is for plebs
anyone else? comfiest anime
>>27780769
>erased - watching 2nd episode, interesting so far
you're at the peak
it gets worse towards the end
but it's still worth finishing
can i get some recs for anime that are /therapeutic/???
>>27780976
Aria is also super comfy.
>>27781016
therapeutic can mean very different things for different people
>>27781033
can i get some recs anyway
>>27781016
Aria
Non non Biyori
Yuyushiki
Sora no Woto
>>27780068
just the new JoJo that started this April, its pretty neato so far
>>27780068
how do i reach grumpy jii-san levels of anime induced euphoria?
I finished Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu today. Definitely one of the better anime I've seen recently.
>>27781176
You don't; you'll eventually lose interest in anime.
Haven't seen anyone who followed seasons and watching shittons of anime for more than a decade without just getting sick of it.
>>27780942
the way I was told to do it was:
>watch season 1 in mixed-up broadcast order
>watch season 2 in chronological order with the season 1 episodes put back in
Erased for all the feels.
>>27781239
>tumblr
>erased
>pokeman card
pls die
>>27780976
Watching it right now, good shit.
>>27781331
I found the picture frome Google and it'seems magic the gathering you dumb bitch. I guess, you wouldn't know of a sophisticated card, most males her are dumb fucks.
>>27780134
Great series but it ended so fucking quickly compared to other animes
>>27780068
Haven't really watched anything since February, but I was watching A Channel earlier. It's a pretty good show and the ending sequence is amazing.
>>27781057
what does therapeutic mean for you?
I'm about to watch this, made myself some warm matcha tea and going to wrap myself in a blanket.
>>27781205
Same. Adulting meant no vidya or waifus
Currently airing:

MUSCLE MUSCLE
HUSTLE HUSTLE
>>27782133
Not by choice, mind you. I wish I still enjoyed chinese cartoons and video games.
>>27781205
I actually lost interest in anime for a while, but that was when I kept up with shows airing weekly. I started marathoning every other week instead, I found it to be more enjoyable.
Can any of you gentlesirs recommend me some good horror animu?
Im watching Ghost in a Shell right now, I used to watch Tokyo ghoul as well.
Ashita no Joe
Just finished Hajime no Ippo before it, shit makes me want to box
>>27782388
Wat if its the animes you watch.
>>27782468
I've near completely dropped animu. Just recently watched OnePunch Man. Fucking loved it. Might watch JoJo. Other than that, nothing this year.
Have been playing some Dark Souls and some other games I got on humblebundle. But other than that, I can see how my assignments, job and day-to-day responsibilities keep increasing and I'm gonna have to smooth out the activities that don't benefit me. :/
Are there any anime movies that are actually good? All the ones I've tried to watch are either way too confusing or extremely boring.
>tfw grumpy jii-san is dead
;_;
>>27782713
>way too confusing
Don't be retarded, anime movies are usually very easy to follow, maybe Patlabor II and Jin-Roh being the exception (both by Oshii).
Tbh I've stopped watching anime movies for the plot, I prefer to watch them for high quality animation, OVAs are able to be a good balance between the two since studios often produce more than one OVA but not many anime movies outside of the big franchises have direct sequels.
>>27782569
Yeah, I still watch/play stuff occasionally, but not nearly as much, and it's never as enjoyable as it used to be.
>>27782713
Akira
Ghost in the Shell
Spirited Away
Kiki's Delivery Service
Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind
Perfect Blue
Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro
The Tale of Princess Kaguya
Some other ones I really love are The End of Evangelion, Cowboy Bebop: Knockin' On Heaven's Door, and The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya, but they require context from their parent series.
>>27780068
Mayoiga, Space Police Luluco, Shounen Maid, Super Lovers, Bungou Stray Dogs, and Prisma Illya.
>>27782524
another is decent
erased is a thriller that just finished a couple weeks ago
higurashi no naku koro ni is a really popular one but i don't think it's that great
serial experiments lain is computer sci-fi, but it has some scary moments
>>27783067
Another's ending is such absolute horseshit unless you know how the book goes, because they cut out one of the most crucial plot points from the start of the fucking book to give the end a "plot twist" that ends up looking like an ass pull
Tons of one piece that show is good
>>27780206
I don't even know what that last episode was about but it was good.
>>27782524
I'm watching shiki right now, although it's more of a thriller.
>>27782916
Yeah GitS, Perfect Blue and EoE were way too confusing for me
>>27783067
Hi, let's play a game?
>>27783110
how did it make more sense in the book?
spoiler tag for people who haven't seen it yet
>>27782713
Ghibli shit (Porco Rosso and Howl are my favs)
Sword of the Stranger if you want action
Summer Wars
5 cm per Second is good for feels
Satoshi Kon shit if you want mind fuckery but it can get 2deep4u
Genius Party is a great compilation of shorts but there is one pretentious piece
>>27780229
>pointless forced moe
Which means what, exactly?
>Everything just feels like it's made to sell toys for people to jerk off on
Unless you are watching anime aimed at children, anime does not sell toys.
Why don't you people ever watch shows like Rakugo, Iron Fortress and Joker Game? You go out of your way to only watch or pay attention to the shows you don't want to watch.
>>27781220
Watching it that way takes more time, but it's probably the best way. What's especially important is watching The Adventures of Mikuru Asahina first, even if you otherwise watch in chronological order.
>>27780068

Is Ghost in the Shell a little kids' anime?

>>27784185
Are figures toys?
Spoiler: no.
>>27784246
Did you cry?
Cus I cried
>>27784185
dude, all anime is little kids' anime
just watched 5 centimeters per second. end my life desu senpai.
>>27784293
Almost. I got super excited when I realized the whole plot was written up to this.
But the scene before whenOkabe deletes the tracer on their computer or whatever and he's issuing his victory decree got me going. It's amazing because you can hear the bitter defeat in his voice, and how he's so barely keeping it together. His decree was less crazy Okabe and more like him putting every ounce of himself he had left into something genuine.And then in the scene right after when the worldline switches to the beta, and we're back to the first episode introduction of Okabe staring at the screen, Mayuri knitting and Daru hacking, and Okabe is so fucking shell shocked and hopeless, almost got me. Especially with the music playing, and you realize he went through so much and it was like none of it had ever happened
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQyinC5zako&index=14&list=PLL77IVn4yixXNjnBZGgFavieuLHyaaw-q
When they make THIS fucking song play over the whole scene
God damn I almost started, I wont lie. I felt for his character
>>27784323
Most of it isn't, and children's animation is much more sophisticated in Japan anyway.
>>27784353
>tfw you will never live in eternal melancholy for what it could've been
why live
>>27780068
rewatching the marineford arc in one piece.
ornithology comment.
>>27784898
Did the english dub get that far yet?
nothing at the moment, haven't even looked at this seasons anime yet
i know theres a phoenix wright one but i'm in no rush to watch that since it's supposedly going to be 26 episodes
>>27780068
Haven't for a while. Nothing hasn't interested me for the past seasons. I'm sick of the constant moeshit or SOL rehashes.

G-reco and cute shows with cute girls. A lot of them.
Just started watching anime, pretty deep into death note and started full metal alchemist brotherhood yesterday
>>27782524
M3 The dark metal
I like it some people say its a 5/10 at best.

no but seriously... serious question: is there any good anime or manga about tea ceremonies?

Aside from lots of currently airing shit, I've been working on my backlog. I am/have been watching:
>Gundam (currently ZZ, which is meh)
>Shirbako (rewatch, it's even better this time)
>Air (Been a while since I've watched a key VN adaptation, it definitely has the same feel)
>Nichijou (kind of meh desu, but it spent four years on my backlog)
>Yowamushi Pedal (to motivate me to ride my bike more often)
I think I need more overdramatic unrealistic teenage romance to be honest, I watched ef: a tale of memories and True Tears a few months ago and they are very enjoyable.
>>27783067
The Higurashi anime is pretty meh, but the VN is downright creepy in a way the anime can't touch. Especially if you go in not knowing what's going to happen and then get pulled in by comfy SOL shit with the cute perfectly normal girls.
>>27785729
Always assumed it was all cancerous, but I needed new shows to watch
>>27780068
Not really anime but I've been watching Avatar: The Last Airbender lately
And I have to be honest, it has the best fight choreography of any animated show I've ever seen. The martial arts, traveling and eastern aesthetics reminds me of Journey to the West, which I'm already a huge fan of.
I think people don't give it a chance because the first 5 or so episodes are kind of shit. But after that it gets good and stays consistently great
>>27786132
normie pls go away now
>>27786267
I'm not a normie, I'm unemployed
Recently finished Non Non Biyori, and before that was Yuru Yuri
Is it considered shit taste if I only enjoy slice of life type of shows?
>>27786132
I get you familia. Found the entire box set at Walmart and watched it in like 2 days. Shit was so much better than when I watched it as a little faggot.
>>27787220
"Taste" is a meme and doesn't mean anything.
this stuff
shinsekai yori is a fucking slog, but I don't drop shows so I'm sticking with it
>>27787439
>shinsekai yori is a fucking slog
>>27787457
I don't like it very much
I like shows with strong characters and SSY has very weak characters, at least so far
>>27780068
Re-watched the only one i ever enjoyed. The evangelion movies
>>27787519
>evangelion
nice
>movies
not nice
What's good, but edgy and violent? I love Mirai Nikki, enjoyed Deadman Wonderland so much I immediately read the manga to completion, thought Hellsing was great, and now I'm not sure what the next edgy anime I watch is. I've heard Higurashi is good? Any reqs from other robots with bad taste?
>>27780068
I'm watching Serial Experiments Lain for the first time.
It seems really strange and abstract based off the first episode, but I like that.
I like anime that use atmosphere and subtlety to tell the narrative rather than crap like Madoka Magica that beats you over the head with exposition and melodrama.
>>27787608
elfen lied
kill la kill
>>27787614
I disagree with your opinion but that's okay because people are unique and that's okay
I really like Madoka and I really don't like Lain
>>27787644
That's fine, everyone's entitled to their own opinion.
>>27787614
Madoka doesn't actually do that.
>>27785880
What the fuck why are you watching like 20 anime at once
>>27780068
From this season:
>Kiznaiver
>Koutetsujou no Kabaneri
>Mayoiga
I'm also watching Psycho-Pass because I read some good reviews. So far I'm enjoying it.
nothing, im not fucking gay
>>27787457

Just watch whatever you like. Who cares what some online sperg says.
>>27786132
This was way better than it had any right to be
Shame Korra was shit.
>>27787831
yeah wasnt a fan of that at all, no reason to be in there
haven't watched a lot lately, been working through LoTGH
Recently finished reading Shin Angyo Onshi, was pretty good
>>27787742
Psycho-pass is some good shit, I prefer season 1 over season 2 tho. I'm also watching those things this season mayoiga seems promising and I like the concept of kiznaiver

I recently started watching Strike Witches (about halfway through S2). It's pretty cool, and you know you're watching anime when a woman leaps out of a plane in her swimsuit and destroys an alien craft by slicing through it with her katana.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4AWupeuZzs
>>27780068
Been watching Big O. Pretty good, too.
i dont watch anime because im not a normie
>>27785836
>>27785853
thanks i'll check them out!
original
>>27787725
That's the impression I got from it anyway.
>>27788188
That's funny since the people who complain about anime here are probably failed normies.
>>27780068
Finished Kaiji 2.
not as good as season 1 but still good.
>>27784428
Fug
I'm in tears again
When I watched this show, this was the last time I felt emotions.
All that love, excitement, bonding, loss, despair, all of that Okabe does to keep his friends happy and alive.
Fuck, man.
This is why I don't do anime too often, I don't like feeling my feelings
>>27786132
I spent the first few months of freshman high school year just watching this show.
It was the first animation I actually dedicated to watching.
This was back when sidereel gave out megavid links, and megavid/upload was still around.
Damn, that was a comfy time...
>>27787623
Damn those are great suggestions but I've seen them both. I actually have a Satsuki figure sitting next to me on my desk.
Sakamichi no Apollon gave me hope for anime.
Some random anon recommended it, thank you
Kimagure Orange Road.
The first ending is now one of my favorite songs.
>tfw you didn't experience teenage love
>>27780976
Finished the second season. Comfiest thing to watch even for people who sre not into anime
>>27789227
KOR and MI are the only two animus I can never bring my self to re-watch.
feel overload.
>>27780068
I'm still newbie to anime, now I'm watching cowboy bebop and evangelion rebuilds
I tried to watch gundam 0079 a while ago, but the old animation is fucking awful, literally 2 FPS animation, I only watched until the 4th episode
Frau Bow the best girl though
what are some good pre-2000s romance anime to watch? nothing too long or filled with drama or repeating misunderstandings like rumiko stuff
>>27789426
Gundam is not a good starter anime.
Gundam is in a whole mecha realm that's a subculture of anime.
Start with
>Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood
>Hunter x Hunter
>Kill la Kill
>Gurren Lagan
>Cowboy Bebop
>Samurai Champloo
>Fairy Tail
If you're white and like action, check out Shingeki no Kyojin, but that's like the most normie anime since DBZ desu. I know blonde models that buy SnK figurines and backpacks, disgusting desu.
>>27789426
are you watching the blu ray rips? 79 is old but it isn't that hard to get through. if you don't want to start with uc stuff there's other gundam series like G you can watch

To Heart. It's a really well-made, truly underrated show that should get more recognition.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1g9RqpcaEU
His and Her Circumstances is another one. Directed by Hideaki Anno of all people, although he left towards the end because of creative issues.
>>27789324
I like comfy shit but only if it's 6-12 episodes long.
I fear that I might get bored of Mushishi considering its slow pace and episode length.
>>27780068
I've never watched anime unless you count dbz/Pokemon.
>>27787220
Slice of life is for people that have an actual refined taste.

>>27780068
I finally watched S3E14 of Working!! yesterday. What a magnificent finale. It makes me sad to know it will NEVER be coming back, but it ended as well as it would ever be possible to end something like that.
I recommend Working!! to absolutely everyone, especially anyone who feels fatigued with anime in general. It might save your life. S1 can be a bit of a drag with Inami, but everything else is great and even she gets better. That's one of the things I loved about Working!! actually, the characters actually change and progress, it's not just static. All the character ineractions are absolutely magical, too.
