I got into Gundam like a year back and was hooked immediately. SO much content to watch, done in a variety of styles over the decades so you basically never get bored, some of the best stories I’ve seen in anime and when the action hits it’s incredibly awesome. Gotta be my favorite franchise ever period. If you’re not afraid to watch something that will drag your feelings through the mud and leave you asking for more it’s the way to go

128

u/RayTheRogue Feb 07 '23

Absolutely. Gundam series is always overlooked by mainstream anime fans despite it having a cult following since 1979.

I got into the Gundam series back in 2014 and have been hooked on it since. Have watched almost every series there is.

47

u/Dumb_Cheese Feb 07 '23

I feel like Witch from Mercury has been decently popular outside of the Gundam fandom.

(That being said though, I still haven't watched it)

u/Dr-Mantis-Tobbogan Feb 07 '23

Psychopass (But only season 1).

Japan is run by an AI that constantly scans your mental state (not your thoughts, just your emotional synapses). The angrier/more likely you are to commit violence, the worse off you'll be in society (this is called a psychopass). Your psychopass gets too high and you'll be arrested and dragged off to therapy (read: jail).

The show follows two detectives and their penal (read: prisoners with jobs) enforcers as they track down and capture/kill various criminals, until they eventually come across a serial killer who the system won't let them pursue or arrest, because somehow this guy's psychopass never rises above 0.

This. Emphasis on just S1

If you liked psycho pass, also try Ergo Proxy.

I will recommend psycho pass but saying "just watch s1" sounds a bit wrong. S3, the movie and the sinners system are as good as S1. Plus, they might adapt the prequel sooner or later.

Season 3 is fantastic, and it's in a Netflix-y format (episode being ~50 minutes) and 8 episodes in total, plus 3 additional ones. Season 2 is okay. It's by no means bad, but definitely a step back from 1 and 3.

Just started watching it and 15 minutes into the first episode a very Alex Louis Armstrong lookin fellow showed up to teach them P.E. and he has the same VA.

Edit: Found out that Armstrong's VA Kenji Utsumi died in 2013 and Silver Spoon had two seasons one in 2013 and one in 2014 so I don't know if he is in it beyond the one brief part in the first episode. He was in a bunch of stuff I liked. RIP voice actor dude (a decade late).

There's so many idomatic puns and pop culture references in Bobobo. No way you can just do a straight translation and have the jokes land to a foreign audience. They would get the Dragonball and sailor moon jokes, but most others would go over their head.

u/Acriam Feb 07 '23

By miles imo. Not that the original was bad, Brotherhood was just that much better.

95

u/HolycommentMattman Feb 07 '23

It's all good to a degree. As a standalone anime, Brotherhood has the flaw of glossing over the early part of the story. You don't know how Ed passed the Alchemist exam, how they met a lot of various characters, etc. But pretty much anyone watching Brotherhood saw the original, so there was no need to rehash everything.

Of course, the original anime has way more flaws. Namely getting ahead of the manga and just flying by the seat of their pants. But there are things established in the original anime that are important that Brotherhood kinda just shoehorns in.

Not that I'm really for a third series, but a FMA: Perfect Compilation would be pretty great.

u/Consistent_Ad_4828 Feb 07 '23

My conspiracy theory is that most of the plots and writing are churned out by an AI. They’re all variations of the same few ideas.

38

u/Pyrojam321moo Feb 07 '23

That's because they're sourced from amateur writers who self-publish serialized genre fanfiction online. Most of these authors are barely full-fledged adults pumping out passion projects that they post mostly for their own drive to write, often getting an idea after reading another story on how to do the same thing, but with their own spin. The self-publishing boom has allowed lots of amateur writers a space to show off their work, and these anime companies are taking advantage of that to cheaply purchase rights to projects with already dedicated, if niche, fanbases, that they can toss into an animation sweatshop to make a quick buck.

Yeah, while this was an interesting anime it leads with a "main character lands on girl's boobs" within the first minute of the show, has a sister-complex (step sister, but still) subplot, and one of the main characters runs around in a swimsuit the whole time because plot reasons.

If you can get past what seems like a checklist of required anime tropes it's otherwise a very good watch, but I just have to wonder WHY they tossed those elements in there.

I hate to say it, but one punch man is really good. It does have generic powers, but it’s also a satire of those powers.

I’m currently watching season one and really enjoying the goofy cute nature of it. I agree with the other commenter though in that everyone just seems to have selective blindness. I do like that Anya is in on everything though.

71

u/SmartAlec105 Feb 07 '23

Anya is great because she’s actually really smart for her age but that still averages out to be stupid a lot because she is like 4 or 5 years old.

41

u/Pircay Feb 07 '23

It’s so great every time she formulates a genius plan only for it to completely flop because she just doesn’t have the life experience to predict other people’s behavior or misses some critical component

u/Irishpanda1971 Feb 07 '23

I just remember that not one of these three has been in a normal family for the vast majority (or in Anya's case ALL) of their lives, so they are all still kinda picking it up as they go.

It's selective blindness, yeah, but it's also still plausible. Think of all the families of serial killers that never caught on, or the guys maintaining two completely separate families. It's easy to see something weird, but then chalk it up to something innocent, especially when you have a vested interest in keeping it all together. Yor desperately wants to keep her new family, and Loid is all in on Operation Strix (and also probably wants to keep the family together, though he won't admit it).

Watch older anime.

I don't get why so many people who are new to anime keep only watching new stuff.

There's DECADES of anime, and some of the BEST decades worth of anime came out in the 90s and 2000s before a lot of this otaku pandering and established generic shit became standard.

Argento Soma

Serial Experiments Lain

Ergo Proxy

ROD Read or Die (OVA)

Kino's Journey

Princess Tutu

Oban Star Racers

TRIGUN

ZOIDS

to start with.

Maybe a good slice of life like Toradora or March Comes In like a Lion. Definitely no generic battles, maybe a little bit of Loli action but not in a weird explicit way.

Excuse me?

u/Orbital_Rifle trans rights Feb 07 '23

Other comment explains it. (It does not happen, but is implied to be the intention of the orangutan)

144

u/Loud-Duck-991 Feb 07 '23

"Does not happen but implied the orangutan wanted it." Is that supposed to make it better!? Nooooo!

Still. Monkeys/animals are like that irl sometimes. So...there's that cursed knowledge in exchange for yours.

In part 3 the protagonists transport with them a young (12yo ?) girl that wants to immigrate somewhere or something. They go on a huge ass empty boat, and there's an orangutan. Literally the only passenger on the boat. The girl somehow finds showers and gets naked and turns on the water, only interrupted by that orangutan, who is actually a stand (magic) user. His stand IS the boat. Now of course Jotaro saves the day and beats up the ape before the rape, but still implied potential orangutan/human child rape.

It's called JoJo's Bizarre Adventures for a reason.

u/The-Arabian-Guy Feb 07 '23

His stand IS the boat.

Her stand , that monke was a female

u/Orbital_Rifle trans rights Feb 07 '23

Actually ? Been a while since I really looked into JJBA (also ape, not monkey (monkeys are smaller and have tails))
