I'm fond of TTGL but it's not that well written or anything imo. It's got its issues.

Still 100% worth a watch!

I hope you know those are fighting words my friend.

I just got an idea to recycle Your Heart Is in Two Worlds as about a human who becomes a waterbound Pokémon, and they feel sad about it, and their friends try to cheer them up.

I've been turned off Gurren Lagann for years because I'm worried I'll go through Awesomeness Withdrawal afterwards.

A legitimate concern. I spend all my days searching for a show that'll get me as invested and as hyped. My Hero Academia has been getting close, though, and knowing what's to come in season four, It very well might.

 

[BackSet]

FMA is only good anime. Fite me. (Cardcaptor sakura is okay, too)

 

[canisaries]

@UselessBytes have you tried jojo? part 2 and 4 are my faves. also i think kill la kill gets somewhat ttgl at times (you just gotta uhhhh soldier through the fanservice and make sure no one else is around)

@BackSet man someone hasn't seen mob psycho 100

 

[diamondpearl876]

I'll whole-heartedly second the rec for Mob Psycho 100 <3

>Implying I haven't seen KLK

Also, I need to try and watch jojos at some point, I've heard a ton of good things about it. Also lots of memes

I don't watch a huge amount of anime, but some others I've enjoyed include: FMA:B, PMMM, NGE, Fate/Zero, Code Geass, I think maybe some others. All of those have their own issues. Except FMA, which is perfect. ;3

I hope you know those are fighting words my friend.

TTGL's inspiring thesis of drilling your own path to the heavens without regard for obstacle or opposition is wonderful. It really is. The whole spiral motif, the scale of the climax, "when did you get taller than me" -- these are all brilliant. But TTGL falls short in character, consistency, and in not being fairly sexist all the damn time. So, no, I can't endorse it without reservations. I didn't say it was bad, only that it was definitely worth a watch and that it had problems with its writing!

Everyone's anime watchlist are 99% "old" animes more than 5 year history... No one interested in any new title produced within the recent 5 years?

Yo-kai Watch! /shot

Um… does Cardcaptor Clear Arc count?

 

[canisaries]

hot take: the only episodes necessary in part 1 are the first three and probably like the last one. the rest i don't even remember. i'm sure they were nice but you don't have to punch through em if you don't wanna. first three eps of part 1 are like a self contained movie and the last ep of part 1 is important for lore reasons

i remember when i forced my mom to watch the first three eps cause i wanted her to see "real vampires" (contrast: she's watched the twilight movies like 40 times by now) but she just said it was too gory and grim

apples sometimes do fall far from the tree umu

@CrystaI

Nah. None of the recent anime I've watched have been standout, save for Fate/Zero, which you may have missed my mentioning.

 

[BackSet]

Fma: B was made in 2010. Does that count?

 

[unrepentantAuthor]

That's more than five years ago, mate.

 

[CrystaI]

Fate/Zero

You are that remaining 1%.

 

[canisaries]

wow way to make me feel old

 

[UselessBytes]

I mean I'm religiously following MHA if that counts

 

[Nitro Indigo]

For years, I've been wondering what makes FMA03 so special, and how to replicate those vibes.

 

[BackSet]

That's more than five years ago, mate.

Wow.

I can't believe I thought it was 2015.

 

[diamondpearl876]

I don't really pay attention to what years anime comes out, but I think newer ones I've watched and enjoyed were One Punch Man, Attack on Titan, Erased, and Death Parade.

But really, getting into older "classics" kinda late on the bandwagon (Samurai Champloo, Cowboy Bebop, Trigun) has been 100x better.
