Rosewind Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 Sold. Gonna watch it...right now! Link to comment
SymphonicFire Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 It's good so far. Cried 2 eps in a row. Found out my tears were sweet. Link to comment
Rosewind Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 I accidentally passed out. I did grab all the current eps of Violet tho! Also Killing Bites (sounds like a Rose anime to me!) and Darling in the Franxx. The last anime that made me cry was Made in Abyss. I'm sure you've seen it...but if you haven't, omg go watch it! It's been a pretty good season for anime. I was excited for Seven Deadly Sins S2; I'm really not impressed so far. The first season was also a slow-burner, so it probably just needs time to get going again. Link to comment
PatchworkPsycho Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 See, this is why I should keep a list of the anime I've seen, it's hard enough to say what I've watched but I can't even remember the last one that made me cry, though to be fair that's probably a decent chunk of them Oh wait no I remember, unless I watched something more recent it was definitely Assassination Classroom, I remember that one because it's definitely my most recent heavy cry, not just a few years Link to comment

Rocky Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 I can't seem to get into anime all that much. I mean, I have nothing against it. In fact, I really enjoyed 91 Days. Just never got into anime and don't really know what's good. To me, it all kinda looks the same (I know it's a stupid thing to think but, I kinda do). Finally, after 3 weeks, I think we're actually going to have a band practice this weekend. Wicked stoked. Link to comment
PatchworkPsycho Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 I usually just pick out anything I hear mentioned several times and put it on, especially if it's action-y Link to comment
SymphonicFire Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 Ahh, Made in Abyss is so good. Link to comment
PatchworkPsycho Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 I'm stuck in a painful state of not having any way to kill time and yet not wanting to kill time Link to comment
Rosewind Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 Mega snowstorm and no work today, wooo! Rocky, some of my personal anime outliers in the past 5ish or so years that deserve a watch: Kill la Kill - Over the top in every sense, it pushes fanservice on both ends with fantastic characters than shine start to finish. Made in Abyss - Easily an upcoming classic. A pure masterpiece of worldbuilding that draws you in. This made me go from anime to manga, something I never do. Plus, robot penis! Terror in Resonance - A very interesting yarn following a few terrorists that take a girl hostage, threaten to nuke the city...but do all their bombings in a way that nobody dies. The Seven Deadly Sins (Nanatsu no Taizai) - Slow to start, but worth the early patience. Great characters and the story is very fun to follow. Akame ga Kill - Great characters, interesting battles, and no safety net for anyone -- even main characters. Fate/Zero (and if you like that, Fate/stay night Unlimited Blade Works) - Fate is great, but it can be hard to get into unless you understand what is going on. Once you have that down, it's a fun ride. Start with Zero since that's a worthy prequel. Animation is fantastic. No Game, No Life - Interesting art design meets two gaming prodigy siblings, ripped into another dimension where games decide everything. Parasyte - Blood, body horror, carnal gore, love, and a sentient hand that tries to jerk off its host out of curiosity. If you can stomach the aforementioned elements, this one will grab you. Rokka no Yuusha - Tale of a bunch of warriors trapped on an island where one of them is out to kill the others. It's like anime meets a game of Clue, but far more interesting. Witchcraft Works - Story of a witch guardian and her male charge. It's an interesting twist of gender role reversal and magical witch battles. Pretty fun! Sword Art Online - Story about some people that get trapped in a video game with their lives on the line. It's grown in popularity in the mainstream for a while now. Steins;Gate - One of the best time travel stories I've ever seen. Based on a visual novel. As usual it takes a few episodes to get going, but it's a real gem of an anime. Shimoneta - Heheheh. Hitsugi no Chaika - Story about a cute girl and her guardians on a quest for something or other. Great character design meets interesting world and story. Second season was okay; the first is really fun. Brynhildr in the Darkness - Anime about a bunch of lab-rat girls with special powers. They melt into a bloody meat puddle if they don't take a "Death Suppressant." Based on my real life. Kakegurui - Follows a high school full of sadomasochistic gamblers. One of my recent favorites. I'm confident you could pick any of these and have a good time. 1 Link to comment
SymphonicFire Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 It was hard for me to watch SAO seriously with a fresh mind. The light novel was definitely better. There are definitely good ones in that list, might add to it but it'll take forever. 1 Link to comment
PatchworkPsycho Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 I've never watched SAO, though from what I've heard, and I've heard a lot, I don't plan to. Link to comment
Rosewind Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 You should see for yourself. Give it a few episodes. If you aren't interested after 3, that's a good time to drop and move on. I'd probably watch other things on that list before SAO, but it's definitely in the "fun to watch" ranking. I should add I'm following One Piece. It's at 824 episodes, and I'd say a good third of it is redundant filler. It's also only half done. It's also one of the best sagas and most interesting world/character designs I've ever seen. If you're willing to commit to the long haul, it's quite a journey. If you skip the openings/episode recaps, that puts each episode at about 15 minutes. That's 12360 minutes, or 206 hours, or 8.6 days of watching! If you watch one episode a day, you'll catch up in 2.25 years! But...that's not counting you'll get about 50ish extra episodes that air while you're watching every year. DO IT! Link to comment
Rocky Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 Thanks, Rose. I might have to take a peek at a couple of those. However, now that I think about it, I do remember one anime that I thought was fantastic... Okay, in all seriousness, when I was little, I did watch Zoids. Anyone remember that? Link to comment
Penumbra Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 I had a lot of trouble with Akame ga kill. After I noticed what I call the 'Emotional manipulation formula' I just dropped the whole thing. SAO just ends up falling apart, so I dropped that too. At this point i'd make a joke where I also list a bunch of anime but slip some hentai in there. So if anyone needs hentai recommendations... I had a Zoids toy when I was younger. I took the plastic join guards and suction-cupped them to my tongue. Link to comment
PatchworkPsycho Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 I'm probably the worst kind of unhealthy, basically eating nothing for a few days before making up lost time and gorging myself like a zombie Link to comment
