GeorgeW1000 118 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 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 characters to the story. The only problem with it is that it's long. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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 something I'm into, nor would I consider that BASED. My favorite 2019 show was Promised Neverland. Promised Neverland had childlike characters but they were all very mature and the reason they were children was very believable. Like Made In Abyss, it's an actual good show. (But it didn't make me uncomfortable like Made In Abyss did.) Though I haven't seen it, maybe Vinland Saga is up your alley. It's my friend's favorite show of 2019 Though the best anime of 2020 will be Higurashi (When They Cry) remake. Based on the cult classic, this anime will be a great watch. Though I doubt it would be as good as the Visual Novels are, because they're so long. Basically, if you watch an anime in 2020, it's going to have childlike characters -- if you don't like that, you don't like modern anime... basically. This thread isn't really about modern anime. It's about BASED anime, or as Kamikaze Pie and I liked to put it, MANIME. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twinblade★ 3,899 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I was sooooo disappointed by Vinland Saga. I feel like they marketed it as a authentic Viking based action series (rare by anime standards) but then in the first few minutes some dude fucking leaps 20 feet in the air and strides across a bunch of ships like a DBZ character. I immediately turned it off when I saw that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, i was expecting it to be anime version of Vikings or The Last Kingdom but instead I got more way over the top japanese BS (one of the reasons why I rarely watch anime nowadays). Im sure its well made but its just not the type of show I wanted from that setting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Was Halo legends real? I just thought DC posted that as a joke since the art looked like some kid drew it on some Xbox fanfic site or something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
