Oh well

One of the best anime all time is Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood. Back in the old days of anime, a show called fullmetal alchemist was reccomended, but it didn't cover all the manga, and was artistically inferior. I watched the old show back when it was popular, but I don't recommend it now. FMA Brotherhood was one of the first anime to make the leap to HD anime, and it was so nice looking I remember being skeptical that the story would be good. One of the best anime ever though.

A great based anime... but an incredibly over-mentioned one is Evangelion. As an anime... it's one of the best -- but it has a cult following whose fans only watch that anime, even if there are better anime. Still, worth a mention. As an anime Studio, Gainax is one of the most treasured among fans. Even if its works are all different than Evangelion. I think Eva took off at gainax because of the artistic freedom the studio gave its artists. The studio Gainax had a rebellion and many artists left to 4 new

Turn A is still one of the best anime in history I think. Someone told me it's supposed to be the last gundam you watched. But It's really the only gundam I watched lol. I think what makes it so exceptional is Syd Mead's gundam designs. Tomino didn't like them... but he's wrong. SYD MEAD.

Ghost in the Shell Stand alone complex is great fun. In fact this opening might be one of the earliest memories I have of anime. (excluding pokemon and Yugioh) You know I mean like adult stuff, right? It doesn't reach the level of Oshii's work which has a stylistic seriousness to it that makes it a work of art. SAC is much sillier than that, but I liked it. I have a drawing from the series (one of the frames they used in the anime) in my room. It cost like $300.

I listen to the GitS soundtrack all the time. Kenji Kawai

I'm sure you heard of the acclaimed "Ghost in the Shell" series. But what you may not know about it is that it's Oshii's greatest work of all time, inspiring many film makers around the world, including the Matrix. Oshii made two films... GITS and GITS 2: innocence https://www.sakugabooru.com/post/show/74324 https://www.sakugabooru.com/post/show/6807 There is a Ghost in the Shell TV series called Ghost in the Shell Stand alone complex. This series is good but it's not Mamoru Oshii-- The director of that series considers Oshii his mentor and tries to

Patlabor 1 and 2 are both movies with an OVA series that is set before them. All the music is done by Kenji Kawai: Mamoru Oshii has worked extensively with Production I.G. Every animated film he has made since Patlabor: The Movie (1989) has been produced under the studio. He also worked closely with screenwriter Kazunori Itō; they made five films together, beginning with The Red Spectacles and ending with Avalon. His closest colleague, however, is music composer Kenji Kawai. Kawai has composed most of the music in Oshii's work, including ten of his feature films. Accord

Just found this... How based can you be if Kenji Kawai does your music?

Patlabor is great because it was about mech cops. We can't even have regular cops here in Portland. When are we going to have based mech cops?

Probably the greatest mind in anime was Mamoru Oshii (apart from ghibli) He created hit after hit. But my personal favorite was Patlabor Ova and the movies. Watch the Patlabor Ova first, and then the movies for the real experience.

Space Runaway Ideon What ever happened to good space shows, that actually capture the desperation of being an explorer out in space? This show is one of the greats.

Oh really? I never saw it. It was my friend's favorite anime of 2019.

I was going to say Made In Abyss, but that's 3 years old already. It's probably the best new series in terms of art direction, characters and story. The only problem is that it's very pedo, and I don't mean that lightly. I enjoy anime with child characters in them, I get it and all, but the show goes to great lengths to sexualize children. Not necessarily as fan service, but there are some inappropriate scenes that only Japan can get away with. Still a good show though. Im not really offended or disgusted by the obsession of childlike characters in Japan, but it's not som

One of the best. such a based OP too

I can appreciate games like TLOU 2, but for a game to be a classic or perfect, it has to be BASED. What do I mean by that? It has to be cool and relatable to the point of it being a great work of art. Many anime fit into this category-- so much that they're based. If Talamatross was still here, he'd appreciate this thread. We'll start by listing the most based anime of all time -- The Legend of the Galactic Heroes. This anime is so old school, and yet everything about it is lovable, from the music to the ch

Honestly Im glad we banned politics. I guess we will never find out if the pancake syrup is racist though.

Watch Millennium Actress. Perfect Blue is the best Satoshi Kon film.

I'd never go without my fine Sake -- so I chose potatoes.

sounds like a plan.

Might buy one used tho.

I will when I buy another PS4. I sold my last one.
