The Anime Thread: It's not just for kids! It's deep! It's EMOTIONAL!!!

There’s a new Gundam anime coming and it’s gonna be a follow up to Unicorn based off a web novel. Probably going to be OVAs like Unicorn was but with that and Thunderbolt season 2 there’s some good ass UC content coming :allears:

I just wonder what the next TV series will be like if they’re only sticking to OVAs/movies for UC based stuff.

Speaking of Gundam, Crunchyroll just added Gundam Build Fighters and Gundam Build Fighters Try to their library.

If you haven’t watched these, stop what you’re doing and watch some fun Gunpla Fights.

I will recommend Build Fighters and Try even though I’ve never watched them because they introduce the best Mobile Suit, Beargguy-III.

In more Gundam related news, Crunchyroll added all of Gundam Wing to thei anime catalog.

Has anyone watched Cyber Formula? It’s no Initial D but the car designs are fantastic and by Shoji Kawamori to boot.

Semi-related: I just did a post in my Gravity Rush LP thread about the game’s composer: Kohei Tanaka.

It’s primarily links to other compositions he’s done, which includes probably some of the best anime music of the past 3 decades

It’s a post where I got to drop some of the best tracks in G Gundam, Gunbuster, One Piece and Dragon Ball, so it’s automatically one of my favorite posts ever

I know this is a general anime thread but there’s been a lot of Gundam related stuff that’s happened recently that I felt was worth mentioning. Like the fact that Gundam Thunderbolt Season 2 started and you can watch the first OVA on an official Gundam Youtube Channel run by Sunrise.

They also recently put out a PV for the next Universal Century OVA series called Mobile Suit Gundam Twilight Axis. It’s supposed to take place just a few years after Gundam Unicorn.

Gonna double down on this. Thunderbolt is dumb as hell, but it’s a fun watch especially if you like jazz.

Kemono Friends is over, the most popular and important full length CG anime of 2017, i’m not counting Forest Fairy Five because that show will never end

The first episode of Boku No Hero Academia Season 2 came out today. I’ve been a faithful manga reader for a while now, so I am super hype, and hope to drag more people into loving this series.

So Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans ended today. Its not perfect, but I feel comfortable recommending it to anyone wanting to try Gundam.

I can’t exactly recommend the early 2000’s parappa anime for much else but it’s commitment to doing anything but rapping at any point, one episode of meeting God, and one character I swear is just Waluigi as a rabbit who ditched his overalls

anyway Mind Games a trip and is getting a Blu-Ray release worldwide and

well, look at the trailer and see if you’d like it, the ending of the movie is visceral if i’d describe it as anything

I just got around to watching the finale and I have to agree that it’s a pretty easy recommendation to make if someone is interested in mecha and also has a lot of time on their hands.

callin it now Warau Salesman New has the best OP of the season (and its all cg)

Yeah that OP is so good! I just hope the show itself gets a bit more interesting/better with its setups.

I am unsure if the stories being told in this new Laughing Salesman are brand new or if they are just more modern versions of the old show or manga. I don’t know anything about the source material other than it coming out at the end of the 60’s but these stories feel like they were made for that tie period.

you’d think asshole wizard who prays on the weak would be a more outlandish premise but it’s been very simple so far, I hope the stories get more complicated as it goes because I love the artstyle

Watched the first episode of Kabukibu, for an anime about a high school kabuki club it had more kabuki in it than I expected.

Just saw Your Name in a theater. I really enjoyed it, and it definitely wasn’t about what I expected. I’ve never seen anime in a theater before. It’s definitely a different experience from sitting in bed with the thing playing on my tablet.

did anyone else watching Alice to Zoroku OP notice she totally drops the old guy
should I call the police
