Well, they're PR campaign definitely qualifies for most adorable XD

Oh I hope JMSDF-sempai notices me next time we go on maneuvers!

XD

Need to finish watching Brigadoon.

Its cool to see Psycho-pass being placed so high on the good sci-fi lists. It could end up as quite the classic series in 30 years itself. I would add Stiens Gate to the list too. Its not really sci-fi (as in a space adventure) like the others you mentioned but it is very good and seems to be enjoyed by anyone that is a sci-fi fan.

I never really got in to Stein's Gate for some reason.

Yeah Steins;Gate definitely. Gotta add Akira as well and Tri-gun.



20 years later and he's still one of the coolest bad asses around.

Love and peace!


Ooooh. I forgot Vexille, pretty cool post apocalyptic sci-fi piece.

I've probably posted this before, but here's a pre-weight loss and pre-beard growth photo of me drunk out of my mind with three Vash the Stampedes (Vashii!) and some dude with a beard.

So there was that 10 minute preview of the first episode of Space Dandy. Was there later more released of that first episode? The site I watch on has never updated that first episode to be longer than the 10 minutes, and a quick search didn't reveal any other sites that had a longer than 10 minutes version, but now there's a second episode that's a full 20 minutes long out.

Just go to funimation's website.

It isn't over yet. They have been producing another season of Psycho Pass.

Psycho-Pass is kind of this generations Ghost in the Shell imo. A similar series in terms that its about a special group of investigates dealing with unique problems created by a technological advance of society, with a similar tone and pacing.

Handled well I think it'll easily become a classic.

Supposed to be coming out this year. Probably the movie 1st followed by the 2nd season. I wish I had a solid time frame for you. The GuP movie is supposed to be this year also.

Happy, happy, happy, this makes me very happy. A movie sounds perfect and I'm damn curious to see how the girls would like in 15mm. I wouldn't mind giving FoW a try with some 15mm schoolgirls

So, did anyone see the first episode of Wizard Barristers? Let me tell you, as someone who bought a DS almost exclusively for the Phoenix Wright series, an anime that joins together Lawyers + Magic + Mechs (HELL YES, MAGIC) + ARMS studio (aka, well animated T&A) makes me a very happy person!

Zeta and Victory Gundam, probably the darkest Gundam anime ever to be produced. Heck, Victory Gundam may not be as mind screwing as NGE, but its much, MUCH darker.

They are not far from reaching the goal, and there is plenty of anime related discussion.

Appleseed: It's a movie and it's very much in the vein of Ghost In the Shell.

Actually it's three movies and a short OVA. And since the original manga was written by Shirow before he did GitS, it's not surprising the two have some common themes.

I'd also recommend Toonami favorite Blue Submarine #6 (though it's best to watch unedited), the manga was a classic, the anime... not bad.


These contain Fanservice but are scifi:

Dirty Pair (sci-fi comedy, somewhat fanservicy in all incarnations, [Flash surprisingly having the least] but has a lot of good scifi in it)

Asobi ni Iku Yo! (Most fanservice I have ever seen in an non-fantasy anime)

Cutey Honey (any version over the years, though Re Cutey Honey is the newest one and is very short. Caution contains staggering fanservice though)

FLCL (brace yourself for this one. Eva is a massive mindscrew, but this one tries to ramp the crazy up to 11. Sufficiently Advanced Alien Tech is not good for people who already apparently have SERIOUS issues.)

These have less or no fanservice:
Gunnm (AKA Battle Angel)

Bubblegum Crisis (any of them)



Note Quite Sci-fi but would probably be enjoyable to you:

Black Lagoon.



Among newer stuff a lot of people liked Girls und Panzer.

Ooooh I forgot Blue Sub #6!

and I totally didn't know there was more Appleseed out there, quickly, to the internet!

Dear fething Lord.


Kite has been made into a live action movie by Americans.


On the upside, Samuel L Jackson. On the Downside, unless the director is Luc Besson, this is doomed from the get-go.

Thanks a lot for the head's up!

In today's Gundam Build Fighters, it just got real. Very exciting episode that definitely got a certain emotional response from me:

Started watching Asura Crying too.

And a show so depressing the studio needed to unwind by creating this;

Not quite; Rei being meant to be a deconstruction of an ideal girl backfired spectacularly, seeing as she's a very popular character.

That's kind of the troll. Anno has perpetuated it by profiting off the most massive multimedia franchise in Japanese history the last thirty years. He openly insulted everything Otaku's idolize and they loved him for it.

Yeah, but no one actually takes the criticism of otaku culture seriously. It continues unchanged.

That only makes it more creepy XD. I mean most of it is just normal harmless fandom, but some of the extreme ends of Otaku can be quite disturbing in a way we don't see much outside of that culture.

I concede the point.

EDIT: TTGL could also be considered a remake of NGE. Both of them had the same basic idea, except TTGL went the other way. Where in NGE overwhelming crises led to despair, in TTGL, it led to the determination to go beyond the impossible.

TTGL is definitely the Anti-Evangelion. Took everything NGE tore down and built it back up again in spectacular fashion (which a much better ending too )

I swear joining this thread was a bad idea, my list of must watch anime has grown lol. This is currently the watch list, anything with a number denotes what episode is next to watch, anything without a number I have yet to start watching. Always open to more suggestions
