Girls und Panzer subbed

http://anilinkz.com/girls-und-panzer-kore-ga-hontou-no-anzio-sen-desu-ova

I know I'm extremely late to the party with this one, but, thanks to Toonami and a messed up sleep schedule, I now truly appreciate how awesome Black Lagoon is (and can buy the DVD's without worry.)

Blue Exorcist is growing on me too, but I might need to look into that a bit more.

I liked blue exorcist well enough.

Most of the way through Naruto season 3 and I've noticed the repetition at the beginning of episodes has been reduced a lot... though still an unreasonable amount of talking and back story during fights.

Hey, at least it's other people's backstory this time! Naruto starts suffering from Lots-n-Lots of Cast eventually.

It was out on 4chan yesterday but nobody wanted to share links. Glad I can finally watch it and understand!

Watched it! Was good! I'll take any chance for more tanks! Another good addition to a good show. Dem Italian Girls know how to party!

This weekend my wife introduced me to Ponyo, Spirited Away and Kiki's Delivery Service. Actually, we got the dvds for our 2 year old (who LOVES them by the way). I love them

I got her to watch the Cowboy Bebop movie with me. She was impressed (and she HATES fighting).

I am looking for more like all of those above. I haven't seen much anime. I can tell you what I DON'T like, if you guys are willing to give me some ideas of what to watch?

-Dragonball Z
-Sailor Moon
-Full Metal Alchemist
-Trigun

When I was a kid, I remember some sort of anime that was very similar to Cowboy Bebop but I forgot the name. Star or something? There was a red space ship I think?

Thanks

Outlaw Star



Also out of the new anime that has appeared, I'm really enjoying Aldnoah Zero. The mech design is kind of hit and miss, but I still think they're done pretty well.

You could be remembering Outlaw Star. Its been forever since Ive seen it but the two were somewhat similar if I recall.

EDIT: Ninja'd

Ah! That's it. Thanks.

Hmmmm Aldnoah Zero seems pretty cool, just looked at some Youtube stuff.

Watch 'Monster'. It's a pretty high quality anime. Sort of like a long show about trying to stop an evil genius murderer. It takes place in Germany during the 80's I think.

Oh wait it's not really like the animes you mentioned. It's still a really good anime. I liked it a lot though I feel like they should've made the anime half as long probably. I usually don't feel that way with animes.

Oh whoops that wasn't a suggestion based on your likes and dislikes, just another topic on the current anime season. If you really liked studio Ghibli films you could just keep working your way through the rest of them for more stuff to watch. Other than that, suggestions on what you don't like only help in naming off similar series that you probably wouldn't like either.

@flamingkillamajig- you'll notice, the given list is what the questioner doesn't like. So if it's unlike those, they may like it.


Another anime that's very... cogitative, is Ghost in the Shell. There's 2 different series' of it, as well as a couple of movies, all high quality.

Of course, the other Miyazaki movies... Astro Boy was one of the originals, and runs the gamut from way too old to pretty good-

Truth be told, I'd try digging in old '80s and '90s anime if you're not a fan of the newer stuff. Look for the Sci Fi more than most- real-life stuff tends to be more violent, fantasy tends to be either Mahou Shoujo (magical girl) or otherwise over-sweet (though some can be good, it's just harder to find). But '80s and '90s sci fi anime (non-mecha, though you may enjoy some of those as well) is generally pretty deep and well themed.

Unlike is to vague, it could be anything. Potato Salad is unlike Salior Moon.

Ok well Ghost in the Shell is pretty cool.. I just checked it out and love it so far

Thanks again everyone

If you like the Miyazaki stuff is also check out Wolf Children Ami and Yuki I believe it was called.

I'm okay, I always cry at fictional animated graduations.

Ah, so true... today I watched K-Ons final episode. fething Ninjas chopping their fething onions

I've almost Finished Love Live, While being a little heavy handed on the "everythings good so long as we try are hardest" other than that Ive enjoyed it quite a bit.

Oooh monster, so that kid that the guy nearly loses his job to save (instead of fixing some pianist's hands or something right?) ends up being a serial killer? I wondered if that was how it was going to go down, i kind of want to finish watching it now!

You may want to spoiler that.

Also, enjoying Aldnoah zero so far, that other mecha series.. not so much.

I think that's all in the first episode? Cause that's all i watched, but ok will do, just in case.

Started Elfen lied. Hm, seems odd as hell.

More of my favourite, the manliest anime ever, Fist of the North Star

Am just going to watch Girls und Panzer: Battle against Anzio High School.

Honestly? I'm surprised the tank held up as well as it did given how squishy and explosive people are after a couple of taps from that dude. I guess it didn't have any secret pressure or power points, or perhaps it did but they weren't on the exam back in shin something or another school so he didn't bother memorizing them

I challenge the laws of nature and reason by summoning the power of Time! Summer Season New Anime Blitzkrieg Write Up! Exist!

GM Casts Wall of Text!
Critical Hit!
9999 DMG!

Continuing:
The Irregular at Magic High School:
Still interesting though they seem to be doubling down on their long running game on incest chicken. I just wish they'd hurry up and get past this high school sports tournament that's taken up so much time. It's highlighting some really cool in universe magic, but I was enjoying the more serious plot.

The Case Files of Young Kindaichi Returns:
Smooth sailing with a fun cast and meaty murder mysteries... I just want more episodes faster.

New Shows:

Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon: Crystal
I've already gushed enough about this to get labeled the king of the fan girls.

Glasslip:
Looking to be a cute little rom/com slice of life. Slightly disjointed for part of the first episode... but that's okay. The female lead's cute, and who I presume to be the male lead is.. interesting at best. The supernatural component is interesting so far, I'm not sure how they're going to use that though.

Samurai Jam - Bakumatsu Rock:
Rocking. I like it and if you enjoy Japanese music you too will enjoy it. Ladies and gents/third parties who like gents, lots of eye candy for you here. Some hilarious parody elements too if you know what you're looking for.




Rail Wars!:
Apparently Japan National Rail needs an anime. Even if it didn't, it's gotten one. With a title promising us action even if the first episode doesn't deliver too much in the way of beat downs. A panty shot and plenty of oppai though, so this anime clearly intends to deliver fanservice... on a rail... jokes aside. Episode 2 opens with some of that action with some hilarious action of the NRSAT (National Rail Special Assault Team) departing to go handle a bomb threat.

Momokyun Sword:
Oh look! It's the legend of Momotaro with tits! Fanservice packed for even the most discerning of 2D breast enthusiasts and costumes to challenge the most skilled of cosplayers Momo herself is pretty freaking bad ass with sword skills to burn even from the start, so I'm hoping for sdome fantastic over the top action scenes... Momo's currently got what looks like a series of three magical girl transformations with the help of her animal friends all of which are apparently gonna give her a tail and a new physics defying outfit. I'm currently thinking I'll be dropping this midway through the season, but I'll give it a run especially because I like the original myth.

Argevollen:
Woo! Mech combat. Gimme. No fan service to be seen here, it looks like this anime's taking a far more realistic bent to it's warfare. Including it's mecha, which for the most part look more like the attempted realism of Battletech then the more fanciful general anime style of say the Gundam franchise or Neon Genesis Evangelion. Pretty good so far

Akame ga Kill!:
Well that started off on the right note. Doesn't even get to the main title before slicing and dicing a critter the size of a two story building. THEN it gets more awesome. Apprantently this is what happens when you let an anime studio loose on the Assassin's Creed games for a little too long, because the whole creedo right at the start about taking out the corrupt smacks of Assassin's from that franchise's mission. Easily one of the strongest looking anime this season. I'm in.

Invaders of the Rokyjyouma!?:
Looks like another case of boy meets ghost... meets witch/magical girl, meets earth shrine priestess... or something? Meets princess magical girl of some type that's armed up with a high tech magic weapon Nanoha style... all of whom need either his 6 tatame mat apartment or him for some reason. The absolutely metal young land lady forces all powers into the Corona Convention to preserve her property and basically leaves them all to sort it out. I was highly amused and will definently keep watching. Fanservice Warning: Gale Force 7

Locodol:
Nananko and Yukari are drafted as Idols for their small town. Cute girls doing cute things. Easy enough to consider dropping at some point, but worth giving it a few episodes I think... especially with Nanako's surprisingly charming enthusiasm.

Blue Spring Ride:
Interesting interactions between characters so far... seems both the leads have changed and not for the better in some cases. Futaba in particular has ended up with "friends" at the start of the series that don't seem the best... iffy for me, because I like slice of life but there's only so much shoujo style romance anime I can take but I'll give it a few more episodes.

HaNaYaMaTa:
Hel's heels I think this season is actually trying to kill me with cute. Fantastic visual style that reminds me of No Game No Life, very appealing to the eye and a fantastic color palette. Good laughs, kinda interesting plot. Excited to see where this goes.

After two episodes out, this is already a front runner for one of my top rated anime this summer.

Bladedance of the Elementalers:
Darn. I was kinda disappointed by the male lead. I thought this anime was gonna focus on the ladies kicking ass which is always a nice change of pace, but it's looking like another fantasy battle/duel harem set up. With tastes of Familiar of Zero and... Demon King Daimao maybe?

Magimoji Rurumo:
I'm gonna give it another ep or two, but at this point I'm just not enthused. Rurumo's cute and the central mechanic of the tickets is interesting... but everything they've built around it is kinda objectionable at best.

Sabagebu! - Survival Game Club!:
Oh look! It's C3 2: The Revenge! Sorta. Looks like we're looking at a far stronger comedy focus then C3's adorable slice of life. They also aren't taking quite the time to distinguish between airsoft toys and actual firearms like C3 did. More fanservice too.

"The Mental Weakness of Young People These Days is Troubling"

Aldnoah Zero:
WHERE IS JOHN CARTER!? Seriously you have a Princess of Mars who seems to hate wearing things that don't bear her midriff and you DON'T name the terran hero John Carter? Bring it on Barsoom!

Any way in short, Mars was colonized. The new Martian Colonists said "feth Terra" and rebeled taking all sorts of fun tech back. A pretty serious war came out, which brings us to our current point, where a Princess of Mars is coming to Earth as a goodwill ambassador. More anime mech action here. Looks pretty good so far except for the whole militarized high schools thing which always makes me face palm.

So far this is THE Mecha anime of the summer and frankly the mecha anime I've been waiting for for YEARS. I'm very excited and kinda want to get through the set up so we can get to the MEAT! I'm incredibly disappointed this is only a 12 ep season.

Persona4 The Golden Animation:
The Persona series is absolutely legendary and I'm excited to have an access point to a series I've been meaning to explore for awhile. Warning. gak is trippy bro.

Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun
Now this is more my kind of RomCom anime.Girl likes boy. Boy happens to be a Shoujo manga artist and mistakes girl for a fan when she asks him out and gives her an autograph. Hijinks follow.

Shin Strange +
Season 2 of Strange +. It's 30 seconds. You have the time to kill.

Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA ILLYA:
The Fate series is another justifiably famous and large anime series I've never touched. So far this spin off seems like a cute "srs bsnz" magical girl series. We'll see what happens. I'm pretty sure this series is already complete and even has a second season so I'm not sure why CR is treating it as a simulcast as opposed to just releasing it.

I can't see why you liked Argevellon so much. the writing was so bad and the main character just plain annoying. Did he learn anything in training? How do you even walk bro? What do you mean you envision moving the bloody robot! So far, it's just been painful to watch and all the illogical stuff around the robot bugs the hell out of me.

The setting is good though. they can keep the setting.

I think I agree with you on your other reviews though.

maybe Bladedance was more stupid than i expected. Highschool DxD has better girls than the worrying mental disordered population of that highschool.

Ya I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by Aldnoah Zero.

An I really didn't see this whole sports tournament thing coming. I was much more interested in the main plot, without it the show has really fallen out of favor with me. The magic jargon doesn't make any sense to me, and I hate the main character. Actually, idk if there are any redeeming characters for the show. I'll try my best to finish the series

Holy gak, Tokyo Esp. I mean, seriously, holy gak. In a 24 mn anime, I think 20 of them had people fighting with a plot that reminded me of X-men.

Dayum, so far this is the one who impressed me the most this season, by a long shot.
