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
Villain
Starting with one I have been talking about a lot lately:
Villain
Villain
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure is a series about the Joestar family
Blighty
do they go on normal adventures
Villain
Each arc is about a different member of the family, usually set in a different era of history
Villain
No
Villain
Nothing is normal about JJBA
izzy.vrm
Villain
If you took all the garbage that shonen animes try and fail to pass off as cool and intersting
Villain
and turned it up past 11 to like
Villain
14
Villain
And then make it 1000% sincere about being really exciting and dramatic
Villain
And then gave it a really engagingly ugly art style involving lots of heavily muscled men
Villain
That would pretty much be JJBA
Villain
Seriously go watch it it's super fun
Villain
It has psychics and vampires and chariot races
Villain
On the exact OPPOSITE end of the spectrum:
Villain
Flying Witch
Villain
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
Villain
She does low key magic and makes friends
Villain
I don't really have much else to say about it, other than that it makes me feel good about life
Villain
OH RIGHT I was going to include Warnings for these
Villain
so
Villain
JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE WARNINGS: Violence, Gore, Absurdity
Villain
FLYING WITCH WARNINGS: Literally none this show is wholesome
Villain
Okay onwards
FOR THE CALD
FW will totally induce diabetes
Villain
Sakamoto Desu Ga? Sometimes also called Haven't you Heard? I'm Sakamoto
Villain
There...isn't much I can say about Sakamoto
Villain
Sakamoto is a first year high school student and he is also the ultimate life form
Villain
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
Villain
It is fucking hysterical
Villain
WARNINGS: ????????????????????????????????????
Villain
Magi: Labyrinth of Magic
Villain
Villain
In much the same way that One Piece is a serious portrayal of the age of Caribbean Piracy
Villain
Magi is a telling of the 1001 Arabian Nights
Villain
Shonen action show about a strange boy with a mysterious past named Aladdin who has a genie in a magic flute.
Villain
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
Villain
It's a lot of fun, but also get's into some seriously fucked up themes
Villain
About racism, class warfare, and dealing with personal tragedy and traumatic experiences
Villain
Morgiana is the best character in anything ever
Villain
WARNINGS: slavery, war, cartoony gore, mind control, and a bunch of other kinda creepy shit. At least it's the bad guys doing it.
Villain
Gatchaman Crowds
Villain
I don't really know anything about the older Gatchaman shows
Niamh Vibes
I was dared to watch Gatchaman and I know nothing
Villain
Crowds is about a team of super powered guys who fight aliens
Villain
Who recruit a new member to their secret base
Villain
But the new members is asking weird questions
Villain
Like "Why are we fighting these aliens anyways?"
Villain
or "Why do we have secret identities?"
Villain
It's
Villain
really good?
Villain
It's really really good
Villain
It's about crowdsourcing heroism, and internet culture, and a bunch of other stuff
Niamh Vibes
That does sound cool
Villain
Watch it you won't regret it
izzy.vrm
the kickstarter of super heros
Gay Be Crime Do
Oh, I'm liking the sound of some of these...
Villain
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?
Villain
Kiznaiver
Villain
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
Villain
The mark makes it so that if any of them feels any pain, that pain is distributed between all 8 of them
Villain
Wait no there's only 7 of them with the marks
Villain
It's got some very well written characters
Villain
I was rooting for them
Villain
WARNINGS: Nothing super obvious comes to mind. It's mainly just teenagers having ~DRAMA~
Villain
Oh wait there is a few scenes that look kind of like suicide attempts
Villain
That's something you gotta warn about
Villain
Akame ga Kill
Villain
I will not beat around the bush
Villain
This show is trash
Villain
It is garbage and I am garbage for liking it
Villain
Akame ga Kill is about a team of assassins working to overcome a tyrannical and corrupt empire
Villain
By killing guys
Villain
There's a lot of people dying in this show
Villain
Typically in pretty gory ways
HotXC
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
Villain
Such comments can be safely disregarded
Villain
Anyways Akame ga Kill is an anime and a manga, and both versions have different strength and different weaknesses
Villain
There is a very specific order for switching back and forth between them
Villain
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
Villain
WARNINGS: oooooh boy...
Villain
Blood, gore, death, rape, and torture, most in large quantities
Villain
Most of the switching I was talking about is so that you can dodge the worst of it
Villain
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."
Villain
If you see a scene in a circus
Villain
Abort
IT'S HALLOWEEN
Although really.
Villain
Skip to the end of that chapter
Villain
Monthly Girls' Nozaki-Kun
IT'S HALLOWEEN
There are a lot of shitstorms to weather.
Villain
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.
Villain
Turns out he is secretly a big time shoujo manga artist
Villain
Sakura (the girl) decides that the best way to get close to him is to help him with his art
Villain
So she does
Villain
Based on a 4koma series
Villain
Very silly
HotXC
nozaki-kun is hilarious
Villain
Here is why you should watch Nozaki-Kun:
Villain
Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun Funny Scene - Dating Sim Ga...
Villain
Wait that video cuts off the punchline
Villain
Oh well I guess you'll have to watch the show to find out what it is
Villain
WARNINGS: nothing really. Just silliness
Villain
Some older stuff you might have missed!
Villain
The Vision of Escaflowne
Villain
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
Villain
Where people fight using giant suits of armor that are totally not robots what are you talking about
Villain
There she gets caught up in helping a refugee prince battle to restore his kingdom
Villain
It has some seriously pretty animation and sweet sword fights
Villain
And also some really memorable villains
Villain
Hell, all the characters are pretty memorable
HotXC
Escaflowne is rad
Villain
Go watch it. Hitomi isn't a fighter but she's very good at not being a damsel in distress (most of the time)
Villain
She drives a lot of the action
Villain
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
Villain
But like seriously look at this shit:
Villain
Villain
Villain
Villain
Okay just in case you've been living under a rock for the last decade
Villain
FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST
Villain
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
Villain
As the search, they uncover corruption and conspiracy within their homeland's government.
Villain
It's
Villain
It's good
Villain
I promise
Villain
WARNINGS: Violence, blood, gore, war.
Villain
The Slayers
Villain
Some guy played a whole bunch of D&D
Villain
And then thought
Villain
"I bet I could make a series about our D&D party*
Villain
"
Villain
Slayers is the result
Villain
A greedy sorceress, idiotic swordsman, justice obsessed cleric, and grumpy shaman go on ridiculous adventures together
Villain
They have almost as much trouble dealing with their enemies as they do with each other
Villain
It's very funny and at times very dramatic
Villain
If you've ever played D&D you owe it to yourself to watch this
Villain
If you've ever wondered what it's like to paly D&D, you should also watch this
Villain
WARNINGS: Irresponsible use of magic
Villain
Patlabor
Villain
Patlabor is a slice of life comedy disguised as a police procedural disguised as a mecha action series
Villain
Yes, you read that right
Villain
In the not so distant future, giant robots (or "Labors") have become a common sight, and are mainly used for construction and such
Villain
Sometimes, a construction worker gets drunk or angry and starts causing trouble with his labor
Villain
That's when you call in the Mobile Police Labor Unit
Villain
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
Villain
Patlabor
Villain
about Division Two
Villain
which is where they send all the weirdos who didn't fit into Division one
Villain
WARNINGS: Some violence I guess?
Villain
Trigun
Villain
In the far future, humanity struggles on a distant desert world
Villain
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
Villain
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.
Villain
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
Villain
Suffice to say, the rumors are perhaps not quite as accurate as they claim
Villain
WARNINGS: Violence, some blood
Villain
Rurouni Kenshin
Villain
Ten years after the end of the fighting that led to the Meiji Restoration, Japan has become a relatively peaceful place
Villain
Kenshin, a wandering swordsman, finds this peaceful world much to his liking
Villain
Unfortunately, many people still remember him for his past, where he was a deadly assassin who killed dozens
Villain
If you like ridiculous sword nonsense
Villain
This is the series for you
Villain
I would honestly recommend the manga over the anime
Villain
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
Villain
so like half the series is just meandering filler nonsense before puttering out to a non-ending
Villain
The Manga does not have this problem and is quite good
Villain
WARNINGS: Violence, blood, some drugs
Villain
Cowboy Bebop
Villain
Sci-fi series set in the far future. A bunch of bounty-hunters travel across the solar system in the ship Bebop
Villain
And attempt various ridiculous things trying to make ends meet
Villain
Very episodic
Villain
Lots of cool martial arts
Villain
SS+ rank Soundtrack
Villain
One of the characters is a Corgi
Villain
WARNINGS: you know what unless I state otherwise just assume that all the shows I'm listing here have Violence and some blood
Villain
Diebuster
Villain
Sequel to Gunbuster
Villain
In the distant distant future, a girl from Mars decides she wants to be a Space Pilot and runs away from home
Villain
You don't need to watch Gunbuster first
Villain
But it does make a few scenes more meaningful
Villain
If you're going to ever watch Gunbuster
Villain
Watch it before Diebuster
Villain
Anyways Diebuster's claim to fame is the most visually spectacular mecha fights in anything ever.
Villain
Some people may disagree with that claim
Villain
And to them I say:
Villain
FIGHT ME IRL
Villain
COME AT ME SCRUBLORDS I'M RIPPED
Villain
WARNINGS: Violence etc. There is an attempted rape at one point
Villain
It's only 6 episodes long
Villain
Speaking of things that are 6 episodes long:
Villain
FLCL
Villain
I...uh...
Villain
A strange girl shows up in Naoto's town and hits him in the head with a guitar
Villain
Then robots start coming out of his forehead
Villain
I couldn't make this shit up
Villain
The whole thing is a metaphor for puberty
Villain
WARNINGS: Super werid
Villain
weird
Villain
Oh right also FURTHER WARNING FOR FLCL: Some nudity
GAY TENNA?
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
Villain
All I'm saying is
Villain
I watched Diebuster first
Villain
And my experiences were:
GAY TENNA?
Villain
1: Diebuster was still pretty easy to follow except for a few scenes
Villain
2: Gunbuster looked way ugly in comparison
Villain
I mean Gainax was a way smaller and less experienced company at the time so I don't hold it against them
Villain
It's just
Villain
If you're going to watch it watch it first or the difference in art quality will be kind of jarring
Villain
And you probably should watch it
Villain
Duo is not wrong
GAY TENNA?
gunbuster and diebuster are also both pretty fuckin gay so there's that too
izzy.vrm
things not to do: crunchyroulette
Villain
Oh
Villain
Yes
GAY TENNA?
diebuster is gayer for sure, though.
Villain
This is accurate
Villain
Gunbuster is a bit gay
Villain
Diebuster is extremely gay
Quinn Angstrom
These are some pretty legit recs
HotXC
very
Villain
If I get anyone to watch any of these, I will consider it a victory
