Snake-Kun
I'm bored so this is a plurk where I talk about animes I have liked in an attempt to get you to watch them
Snake-Kun
Starting with one I have been talking about a lot lately:
Snake-Kun
Snake-Kun
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure is a series about the Joestar family
Blighty
do they go on normal adventures
Snake-Kun
Each arc is about a different member of the family, usually set in a different era of history
Snake-Kun
No
Snake-Kun
Nothing is normal about JJBA
izzy.vrs
Snake-Kun
If you took all the garbage that shonen animes try and fail to pass off as cool and intersting
Snake-Kun
and turned it up past 11 to like
Snake-Kun
14
Snake-Kun
And then make it 1000% sincere about being really exciting and dramatic
Snake-Kun
And then gave it a really engagingly ugly art style involving lots of heavily muscled men
Snake-Kun
That would pretty much be JJBA
Snake-Kun
Seriously go watch it it's super fun
Snake-Kun
It has psychics and vampires and chariot races
Snake-Kun
On the exact OPPOSITE end of the spectrum:
Snake-Kun
Flying Witch
Snake-Kun
It is a very relaxing show about a girl who moves in with some relatives in the countryside so she can continue her training as a Witch
Snake-Kun
She does low key magic and makes friends
Snake-Kun
I don't really have much else to say about it, other than that it makes me feel good about life
Snake-Kun
OH RIGHT I was going to include Warnings for these
Snake-Kun
so
Snake-Kun
JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE WARNINGS: Violence, Gore, Absurdity
Snake-Kun
FLYING WITCH WARNINGS: Literally none this show is wholesome
Snake-Kun
Okay onwards
FOR THE CALD
FW will totally induce diabetes
Snake-Kun
Sakamoto Desu Ga? Sometimes also called Haven't you Heard? I'm Sakamoto
Snake-Kun
There...isn't much I can say about Sakamoto
Snake-Kun
Sakamoto is a first year high school student and he is also the ultimate life form
Snake-Kun
the show is a kind of surreal comedy about various people getting jealous about how perfect Sakamoto is, but ending up being turned into better people by his mysterious ways
Snake-Kun
It is fucking hysterical
Snake-Kun
WARNINGS: ????????????????????????????????????
Snake-Kun
Magi: Labyrinth of Magic
Snake-Kun
Snake-Kun
In much the same way that One Piece is a serious portrayal of the age of Caribbean Piracy
Snake-Kun
Magi is a telling of the 1001 Arabian Nights
Snake-Kun
Shonen action show about a strange boy with a mysterious past named Aladdin who has a genie in a magic flute.
Snake-Kun
He makes friends with Ali-baba the wannabe bigshot, Morgiana the slave girl, and Sinbad the King of the Seven Seas, just to name a few
Snake-Kun
It's a lot of fun, but also get's into some seriously fucked up themes
Snake-Kun
About racism, class warfare, and dealing with personal tragedy and traumatic experiences
Snake-Kun
Morgiana is the best character in anything ever
Snake-Kun
WARNINGS: slavery, war, cartoony gore, mind control, and a bunch of other kinda creepy shit. At least it's the bad guys doing it.
Snake-Kun
Gatchaman Crowds
Snake-Kun
I don't really know anything about the older Gatchaman shows
Niamh Vibes
I was dared to watch Gatchaman and I know nothing
Snake-Kun
Crowds is about a team of super powered guys who fight aliens
Snake-Kun
Who recruit a new member to their secret base
Snake-Kun
But the new members is asking weird questions
Snake-Kun
Like "Why are we fighting these aliens anyways?"
Snake-Kun
or "Why do we have secret identities?"
Snake-Kun
It's
Snake-Kun
really good?
Snake-Kun
It's really really good
Snake-Kun
It's about crowdsourcing heroism, and internet culture, and a bunch of other stuff
Niamh Vibes
That does sound cool
Snake-Kun
Watch it you won't regret it
izzy.vrs
the kickstarter of super heros
Gay Be Crime Do
Oh, I'm liking the sound of some of these...
Snake-Kun
WARNINGS: Some kind of weird gender stuff? None of it is TOO bad but if that's a sensitive topic for you then...be warned?
Snake-Kun
Kiznaiver
Snake-Kun
In an effort to try to learn how to get humans to bond better, a research institute take 8 high school students and connects them with a strange mark
Snake-Kun
The mark makes it so that if any of them feels any pain, that pain is distributed between all 8 of them
Snake-Kun
Wait no there's only 7 of them with the marks
Snake-Kun
It's got some very well written characters
Snake-Kun
I was rooting for them
Snake-Kun
WARNINGS: Nothing super obvious comes to mind. It's mainly just teenagers having ~DRAMA~
Snake-Kun
Oh wait there is a few scenes that look kind of like suicide attempts
Snake-Kun
That's something you gotta warn about
Snake-Kun
Akame ga Kill
Snake-Kun
I will not beat around the bush
Snake-Kun
This show is trash
Snake-Kun
It is garbage and I am garbage for liking it
Snake-Kun
Akame ga Kill is about a team of assassins working to overcome a tyrannical and corrupt empire
Snake-Kun
By killing guys
Snake-Kun
There's a lot of people dying in this show
Snake-Kun
Typically in pretty gory ways
DoveEaterXC
I think the only people I've seen complain about Gatchaman Crowds were people who watched the original and wanted it to be a lot more like that
Snake-Kun
Such comments can be safely disregarded
Snake-Kun
Anyways Akame ga Kill is an anime and a manga, and both versions have different strength and different weaknesses
Snake-Kun
There is a very specific order for switching back and forth between them
Snake-Kun
I can't remember it exactly but I think gardock can. If you want to watch it, let us know and we will give you the full run down
Snake-Kun
WARNINGS: oooooh boy...
Snake-Kun
Blood, gore, death, rape, and torture, most in large quantities
Snake-Kun
Most of the switching I was talking about is so that you can dodge the worst of it
Snake-Kun
Let's change gears:
IT'S HALLOWEEN
Honestly I'd just say read the manga and skip... the bonus chapter between 23 and 24, and.... pretty much the remainder of any chapter where Wild Hunt is like "Hey, let's Do A Thing."
Snake-Kun
If you see a scene in a circus
Snake-Kun
Abort
IT'S HALLOWEEN
Although really.
Snake-Kun
Skip to the end of that chapter
Snake-Kun
Monthly Girls' Nozaki-Kun
IT'S HALLOWEEN
There are a lot of shitstorms to weather.
Snake-Kun
A high school girl finally works up the courage to admit her feelings to her crush, but he misunderstands what she is trying to say and gives her an autograph instead
IT'S HALLOWEEN
There's a reason everybody feels the need to be self-deprecative about liking it.
Snake-Kun
Turns out he is secretly a big time shoujo manga artist
Snake-Kun
Sakura (the girl) decides that the best way to get close to him is to help him with his art
Snake-Kun
So she does
Snake-Kun
Based on a 4koma series
Snake-Kun
Very silly
DoveEaterXC
nozaki-kun is hilarious
Snake-Kun
Here is why you should watch Nozaki-Kun:
Snake-Kun
Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun Funny Scene - Dating Sim Ga...
Snake-Kun
Wait that video cuts off the punchline
Snake-Kun
Oh well I guess you'll have to watch the show to find out what it is
Snake-Kun
WARNINGS: nothing really. Just silliness
Snake-Kun
Some older stuff you might have missed!
Snake-Kun
The Vision of Escaflowne
Snake-Kun
Hitomi, a high school girl on the track and field team, goes through a very improbable series of events that end up with her transported to a strange fantasy world
Snake-Kun
Where people fight using giant suits of armor that are totally not robots what are you talking about
Snake-Kun
There she gets caught up in helping a refugee prince battle to restore his kingdom
Snake-Kun
It has some seriously pretty animation and sweet sword fights
Snake-Kun
And also some really memorable villains
Snake-Kun
Hell, all the characters are pretty memorable
DoveEaterXC
Escaflowne is rad
Snake-Kun
Go watch it. Hitomi isn't a fighter but she's very good at not being a damsel in distress (most of the time)
Snake-Kun
She drives a lot of the action
Snake-Kun
WARNINGS: Violence. Some blood. Was originally scheduled to be a lot longer, but got cut short so the last episodes get kind of weird and confusing
Snake-Kun
But like seriously look at this shit:
Snake-Kun
Snake-Kun
Snake-Kun
Snake-Kun
Okay just in case you've been living under a rock for the last decade
Snake-Kun
FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST
Snake-Kun
A pair of brothers tried to use alchemy to bring their mother back to life, and got horribly cursed as a result. They now seek to repair their bodies with the forbidden Philosopher's Stone
Snake-Kun
As the search, they uncover corruption and conspiracy within their homeland's government.
Snake-Kun
It's
Snake-Kun
It's good
Snake-Kun
I promise
Snake-Kun
WARNINGS: Violence, blood, gore, war.
Snake-Kun
The Slayers
Snake-Kun
Some guy played a whole bunch of D&D
Snake-Kun
And then thought
Snake-Kun
"I bet I could make a series about our D&D party*
Snake-Kun
"
Snake-Kun
Slayers is the result
Snake-Kun
A greedy sorceress, idiotic swordsman, justice obsessed cleric, and grumpy shaman go on ridiculous adventures together
Snake-Kun
They have almost as much trouble dealing with their enemies as they do with each other
Snake-Kun
It's very funny and at times very dramatic
Snake-Kun
If you've ever played D&D you owe it to yourself to watch this
Snake-Kun
If you've ever wondered what it's like to paly D&D, you should also watch this
Snake-Kun
WARNINGS: Irresponsible use of magic
Snake-Kun
Patlabor
Snake-Kun
Patlabor is a slice of life comedy disguised as a police procedural disguised as a mecha action series
Snake-Kun
Yes, you read that right
Snake-Kun
In the not so distant future, giant robots (or "Labors") have become a common sight, and are mainly used for construction and such
Snake-Kun
Sometimes, a construction worker gets drunk or angry and starts causing trouble with his labor
Snake-Kun
That's when you call in the Mobile Police Labor Unit
Snake-Kun
Mobile Police Division One is full of all of the most skilled and highly trained officers Japan can offer, and has resolved more incidents than you can count with professionalism and efficiency
Snake-Kun
Patlabor
Snake-Kun
about Division Two
Snake-Kun
which is where they send all the weirdos who didn't fit into Division one
Snake-Kun
WARNINGS: Some violence I guess?
Snake-Kun
Trigun
Snake-Kun
In the far future, humanity struggles on a distant desert world
Snake-Kun
Here lives the legend of the infamous outlaw, the legendary Vash the Stampede, the man with the $$60,000,000,000 reward for his capture, dead or alive
Snake-Kun
If you believe the rumors, Vash is a giant with a red coat and a huge weapon who leaves entire cities piled high with corpses wherever he goes.
Snake-Kun
But a pair of agents from the Bernadelli Insurance Agency don't care. They need to hunt him down and makes sure someone is on hand to process the claims for the damages he causes
Snake-Kun
Suffice to say, the rumors are perhaps not quite as accurate as they claim
Snake-Kun
WARNINGS: Violence, some blood
Snake-Kun
Rurouni Kenshin
Snake-Kun
Ten years after the end of the fighting that led to the Meiji Restoration, Japan has become a relatively peaceful place
Snake-Kun
Kenshin, a wandering swordsman, finds this peaceful world much to his liking
Snake-Kun
Unfortunately, many people still remember him for his past, where he was a deadly assassin who killed dozens
Snake-Kun
If you like ridiculous sword nonsense
Snake-Kun
This is the series for you
Snake-Kun
I would honestly recommend the manga over the anime
Snake-Kun
the anime isn't bad, but it ran into the problem where it got ahead of the manga it was adapting, and had to start making shit up
Snake-Kun
so like half the series is just meandering filler nonsense before puttering out to a non-ending
Snake-Kun
The Manga does not have this problem and is quite good
Snake-Kun
WARNINGS: Violence, blood, some drugs
Snake-Kun
Cowboy Bebop
Snake-Kun
Sci-fi series set in the far future. A bunch of bounty-hunters travel across the solar system in the ship Bebop
Snake-Kun
And attempt various ridiculous things trying to make ends meet
Snake-Kun
Very episodic
Snake-Kun
Lots of cool martial arts
Snake-Kun
SS+ rank Soundtrack
Snake-Kun
One of the characters is a Corgi
Snake-Kun
WARNINGS: you know what unless I state otherwise just assume that all the shows I'm listing here have Violence and some blood
Snake-Kun
Diebuster
Snake-Kun
Sequel to Gunbuster
Snake-Kun
In the distant distant future, a girl from Mars decides she wants to be a Space Pilot and runs away from home
Snake-Kun
You don't need to watch Gunbuster first
Snake-Kun
But it does make a few scenes more meaningful
Snake-Kun
If you're going to ever watch Gunbuster
Snake-Kun
Watch it before Diebuster
Snake-Kun
Anyways Diebuster's claim to fame is the most visually spectacular mecha fights in anything ever.
Snake-Kun
Some people may disagree with that claim
Snake-Kun
And to them I say:
Snake-Kun
FIGHT ME IRL
Snake-Kun
COME AT ME SCRUBLORDS I'M RIPPED
Snake-Kun
WARNINGS: Violence etc. There is an attempted rape at one point
Snake-Kun
It's only 6 episodes long
Snake-Kun
Speaking of things that are 6 episodes long:
Snake-Kun
FLCL
Snake-Kun
I...uh...
Snake-Kun
A strange girl shows up in Naoto's town and hits him in the head with a guitar
Snake-Kun
Then robots start coming out of his forehead
Snake-Kun
I couldn't make this shit up
Snake-Kun
The whole thing is a metaphor for puberty
Snake-Kun
WARNINGS: Super werid
Snake-Kun
weird
Snake-Kun
Oh right also FURTHER WARNING FOR FLCL: Some nudity
bitchin camaro
as the #1 gunbuster stan i'm disagreeing, you need to watch gunbuster before diebuster. not because it's necessary to understand the plot but because you're a shell of a human until you've seen gunbuster
Snake-Kun
All I'm saying is
Snake-Kun
I watched Diebuster first
Snake-Kun
And my experiences were:
bitchin camaro
Snake-Kun
1: Diebuster was still pretty easy to follow except for a few scenes
Snake-Kun
2: Gunbuster looked way ugly in comparison
Snake-Kun
I mean Gainax was a way smaller and less experienced company at the time so I don't hold it against them
Snake-Kun
It's just
Snake-Kun
If you're going to watch it watch it first or the difference in art quality will be kind of jarring
Snake-Kun
And you probably should watch it
Snake-Kun
Duo is not wrong
bitchin camaro
gunbuster and diebuster are also both pretty fuckin gay so there's that too
izzy.vrs
things not to do: crunchyroulette
Snake-Kun
Oh
Snake-Kun
Yes
bitchin camaro
diebuster is gayer for sure, though.
Snake-Kun
This is accurate
Snake-Kun
Gunbuster is a bit gay
Snake-Kun
Diebuster is extremely gay
Quinnfernal
These are some pretty legit recs
DoveEaterXC
very
Snake-Kun
If I get anyone to watch any of these, I will consider it a victory
