Cory in the House

Which episode? Which motherfucking episode? I've seen the show 5 times, so I should know which one you're talking about.

Re watching Geass.
Kind of interesting to see how much Lelouch wings everything and then pretends it was all part of his plan. :-p

So, relating to the earlier SAO discussion, China continues to ruin the Chinese cartoon joke by making another show, that's basically like SAO, except it's actually pretty good.

Huh...

Reading the premise suggests it could be good.

Adding it to the watch list. So, that's like 3 months or so to watch it.

Just watched the first episode of Sin Nanatsu no Taizai, must say the plot is amazing.

Never heard of...oh it's an ecchi show. Well then.

Watched One Punch Man. It's pretty funny, and does a good job of parodying some of the common tropes that pop up both in anime and in Western superhero fiction. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it.

I've been meaning to watch it but never got round to it.

ReLIFE
Tsuki ga Kirei
Isshuukan Friends

All of the three are far better than most anime available...

School romance anime are gonna be a hard sell here I think.

Wow. After almost 9 years at this and judging from experience I always thought people typically began with mainstream crap, then turned into deepfags or hipster-like seekers of weird and obscure stuff for a while before accepting or becoming indifferent to the nihilistic Abyss of moeshit and CGDCT. This is the first time I see somebody defending shoujo school romances as the pinnacle of anime. I mean, I don't want to judge that. I'm just a bit puzzled and amused. That's really a first.

Kōichi Madanbashi is a high schooler who possesses Hi-ERo particles, which are used as an energy source for the robot Daimidaler. He obtains these particles by groping females and uses them to power up the robot in order to fight penguin-shaped robots from the supposedly evil Penguin Empire.

Penguin Empire
An empire of humanoid penguin beings with "front tails" (tails on their groin that cause them to look like they are having an exaggerated erection) who invade and eventually take over the world.

YEAAAAAAAAH! THAT AOT EPISODE WAS AS AWESOME AS I KNEW IT WOULD BE!

This slipped under the radar for a day or two, but it still gets an unofficial warning. Use of triple parentheses is almost always trolling due its antisemitic connotations. Using it anywhere on NationStates, even when applied to people or things that are not Jewish, is likely to result in warnings or bans. It's unclear whether this specific use was intended to make a hateful statement or whether it was meant to be ironic in some way, but it still adds nothing to the conversation except for the potential to cause offense.

Don't throw around antisemitic memes.

I'm not super knowledgeable about anime. I only found that because I was looking for a news story about a penguin that fell in love with a cardboard cut out if an an ime girl dressed as a penguin.

I started out with mainstream crap, still think most of them are pretty solid shows but they get shown around so much that everyone gets sick of them after a very short period of time.

That said they don't really compare to the amazingness of CGDCT.

Really can't comment much on the romance anime though. I just plain don't watch it much. Or If I do it's usually just a tacked on element of a comedy or some stupid harem show that barely counts as romance in the first place.

I think Clannad was the closest I got to that and I wasn't particularly impressed by it, but it was okay.

Kemono Friends is wonderful, if you can give it a pass on some awkward CG it's just a cute show.

I couldn't get past the awkward CG. The low framerate is what did it.

[Marshmellowstan]

Read what's out of Kakushigoto. The tale of one dad trying to hide his lewd manga from his daughter.
I really need to read the Joshiraku and Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei mangas.

Also watched Kemono Friends. "Still better than the new Berserk!" "CLANG!"
PPP is the highlight of the show though, that penguin has good taste.

I try to be judicious in choosing new anime, but I still end up mostly watching Cute Girls Doing Cute Things. Azumanga Daioh is still the pinnacle of the genre though. Princess Principal looks like it's going to be the shit this summer. Hyped for Owarimonogatari season 2 as well, hopefully there is less focus on "Who cheated on the math test?"

Started watching Sora no Woto. This thing really does feel like military K-On, which is doing it for me.

Are there any legitimate historical military animes that don't do anything with magic or anything else that can be recommended? I really want to watch an actual historical anime

Sora no Woto is probably one of the best shows I've watched. K-On in the army however isn't exactly accurate.

Okay so this isn't exactly accurate but you're in for a good ride once things pick up and it gets more serious. Also the episode after this one is about the MC trying not to piss themselves so it doesn't quite get past the SoL stuff.

Also I think Sora no Woto is the best example of world building I've ever seen in a 12 episode anime.

The action takes place in the nation of Helvetia which is located where Japan is but with geography based on Switzerland except for Seize, (the town the characters are station in) which is a near 1:1 copy of Cuenca, Spain. The people of Helvetia speak Japanese, read french and have a mix of European and Japanese culture. They're currently on the verge of war with the Romans who are a brown skinned people who speak German. As for the time period of the show, its set in the distant future long after Humanity lost an apocalyptic war against something. (It's never shown or said what exactly they are. The beings are Angel-like but they're never shown besides a brief split second reflection and a skeleton.) Since the war Humanity has climbed back up to a roughly WWII level of technology but the environment has never fully recovered and humanity is doomed to die of as it slowly gets worse. Almost none of this is explicitly shown but is instead gradually and naturally introduced or in some cases solely conveyed through the background.

Kemono Friends is wonderful, if you can give it a pass on some awkward CG it's just a cute show.

I couldn't get past the awkward CG. The low framerate is what did it.

The CG improves as the series progresses. Its never stellar but the rest of the show is good enough to get past it. Plus you have to keep in mind it was made by a whopping ten people not including VAs.

Leiji Matsumono's The Cockpit isn't as exaggerated as most historical military anime.

I actually have more manga to recommend than anime:

Onward Towards Our Noble Deaths by Shigeru Mizuki is a must. And it's semi-autobiographical too, based on his experiences in the Papua New Guinea campaign of WW2.

Seiho Tazikawa does a fair bit of military fiction, he's really realistic in his style too. He's done a short story about the Battle of Grozny and several other short stories about WW2 that I know of. And if you're still interested in fantasy or sci-fi, there's Who Fighters, which is about WW2-era experiences with UFOs and monsters in the Devil's Triangle.

Motofumi Kobayashi has made manga about the Vietnam War and WW2's Eastern Front, also realistic. Even Apocalypse Meow, even if the MACV-SOG characters are anthropomorphic rabbits and cats (not furries, realistic animals), but he usually represents people.

I think even Hayao Miyazaki made a manga of Otto Carius: Tigers in the Mud though he made all the characters pigs.
