--- Quote from: Tsukiko on October 09, 2010, 08:52:05 PM ---This of course just my humble opinion, but my favorite thinky-surius anime include Haibane Renmei, Paranoia Agent, Eden of the East and Kino no Tabi. --- End quote --- Backing Haibane Renmei and Kino no Tabi as well. Call me stupid, but I really enjoyed Haruhi, primarily the first season plus the Disappearance movie as well. The humor lightens the mood, but I think the individual character and relationship development are some of the most satisfying I've seen, plus a number of other merits. Maybe I'm just a junkie for it, though. As for movies, Grave of the Fireflies and The Place Promised in Our Early Days. There's a very powerful overlying observation of the strength of human bonds in both. However, my memories of GotF are a bit fuzzy since I can't bear to watch it again. The Girl Who Leapt Through Time is pretty good for that as well. One that I heard oh-so much praise about but didn't like was 5 Centimeters Per Second. I felt like I watched a movie in which absolutely nothing occurred which made me want to know what the heck I was missing. |

--- Quote from: JT on October 09, 2010, 08:59:58 PM --- Fucking duh, man. 8) --- End quote --- Gainax mecha shows in general, really. In fact, I find that you can appreciate them a lot more if you've actually seen Gunbuster, Evangelion and Gurren Lagann. It's like three different outcomes to a similar beginning. Mind you, the only real similarities the three all have are the starting condition of the protaganist, so. Ahem. Basically, you should all watch Gunbuster, for it is made of awesomely awesome awesomeness. >.> <.< Eva, on the other hand, is... I don't wanna say "love it or hate it", as I know a few people who were neutral towards it, but... It's easily one of the most controversial anime out there, and the latter half/the movie are incredibly fascinating to watch if you happen to find things like psychology, philosophy, theology et all interesting (a love of surrealism and subversiveness also helps >.>). Of course, Gunbuster, being... Less popular than it should be (;_;) tends to avoid the one thing about the other two that... Annoy me somewhat: Fandumb. >.> Seriously, people just like to flanderize the characters from Eva and Gurren Lagann until all meaning is stripped from their characterization (Shinji and Kamina get it the worst, although in completely opposite ways). Sigh. But of course, that's hardly enough to ruin the appeal of the shows, so... You should all watch them. Especially Gunbuster. Not enough people watch Gunbuster, and it would make me smile if more people did. ...Please~? ...My other big pick would be Excel Saga, but... If I'm going to recommend that, I'd like a little time to clear my thoughts out so I can make it clear exactly why you should be watching it. >.> <.< |

I wonder if it's even possible to MST3K Grave of the Fireflies... |

The last thing I really enjoyed was Mushishi (if you haven't seen it already and don't mind a slow pace.) |
