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