/rec/ - Anime & Manga Recommendations

Something similar to:

Serial Experiments Lain

Texhnolyze

Psycho-Pass

>>5805

Usagi Drop

HaruChika

Beck

>>5814

Maybe Steins;Gate or Bakemonogatari.

Pretty much anything from these charts:

>>148

>>155

>>5816

>HaruChika

Isn't the mc a literal faggot? That would just piss me off. Usagi drop looks cool though. And I'll continue Beck soon.

>>5814

The Tatami Galaxy

>>5814

>FLCL

Diebuster

>Evangelion

Gunbuster

Getter Robo Armageddon

Space Runaway Ideon movies (if you can deal with '70s animation)

>Great Teacher Onizuka

Kyou Kara Ore Wa!!

Looking for similar to:

Legend of Galactic Heroes

Zeta Gundam & Char's Counterattack

Serial Experiments Lain

Kyou Kara Ore Wa!!

Initial D

>Isn't the mc a literal faggot?

Yes, he is.

The show doesn't revolve around that though.

It's mostly just a detail that is often irrelevant to the actual plot of each episode.

>Usagi drop looks cool though.

Yeah, it's pretty comfy too.

>>5825

The show doesn't revolve around him being a fag, but it does revolve around his faggotry, which very much makes it shit. The first episode to not completely revolve around him was the latest one, episode 6, and it's not like he was spending it on the sidelines.

>>5814

I forgot Berserk.

>>5827

He is one of the main characters, or arguably the main character, so of course a big section of most episodes are somewhat related with him.

What I mean is that so far we haven't had any episodes where the plot was him developing an equation to figure out how many cocks he wants to suck.

It's mostly just him solving things that are completely unrelated to the fact that he's a faggot. He could be easily replaced with Oreki from Hyouka and the anime would probably be pretty much the same.

good taste ITT

>>5816

Ergo Proxy I believe fits with your list

>>5905

Thanks for the rec but I already watched that.

And you're right. It was pretty good.

I haven't seen too much anime but I really, really just enjoyed my sit through of Samurai Flamenco. The slice of life bits were really fantastic, and then it got hilarious when it descended into... well you'd know if you saw it.

I don't know what other genre-busting anime there is out there like that, but it just felt really fresh.

Other things I've enjoyed:

Outlaw Star, Trigun, Champloo, NHK, Bebop, I really like the animation effort that went into the Pain fight of Shippuden, pls no bully

Does manga count?

Can someone PLEASE tell me sth similar to Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou? I almost died after reading that. So good...

The Tatami Galaxy

Bakemonogatari (monogatari series)

Spice and Wolf

FMA:B

FLCL

Natsume Yuujinchou and Spirited Away

Steins;Gate

Yuyushiki and Yuru Yuri

I'm looking for something similar to Tatami Galaxy (manga, anime, ln or vn, anything but drama CD..);

The Legend of Galactic Heroes

>>5966

I heartily recommend Coyote Ragtime Show

>>5968

I can answer that. That author (can't remember her name) is god at what she does. Her other two series are Kabu no Isaki and Aria. The only other SoL I'd recommend would be Living Game. Nothing's just as comfy as YKK and those three. There's other short comfy stuff like Kyou Curry!, Ano Ko No Ie, and Coffee mou Ippai, but I'd also like to find something like what you want.

HIS name is apparently Ashinano Hitoshi. Cool.

Also, I've never read them, but I think Servant X Service and Working!!! are in the same vein of SoL. But I have no idea.

Other comfy series that aren't necessarily SoL would be Hoshikawa Ginza Yonchoume, Koe no Katachi, Natsu no Zenjutsu, Samurai Papa, Sora no Shita Yane no Naka, and Suki mo Yoi

>>6010

correction, replace hellsing with full metal alchemist (2003)

Kill La Kill

Gurren Lagann

Fooly Cooly

Angel Beats

Bleach

Black Rock Shooter

Blue Exorcist

Clannad (and After Story)

Kyoukai No Kanata

Trigun

Toradora

SAO

Lucky Star

>>6017

So you just like everything that's popular? You'd probably like Gundam Seed.

>>6053

Thanks anon but..

> hunterXhunter

Not a big fan, tried watching it back in the 90's, couldn't get into it

> gurren lagann

I actually forgot to add that to my list..

> berserk

I've only watched the golden age movies, haven't checked the 90's tv show yet, and I'm too lazy to get into reading the manga…

>>6054

>Not a big fan, tried watching it back in the 90's, couldn't get into it

How much did you watch? The first arc is kinda slow, but after that it goes in a different way than other shounen do. Yorkshin arc is really great in the sense that there is a shit ton of planning and tactics instead of regular shounen fights.

Oh, I also forgot to add that you might like Tokyo Ghoul because of Hellsing. I only read the first volume since I didn't like the art and panels much, but it had an interesting setting that kinda reminded me of Hellsing.

>>6055

I remember the show sheding light on Killuwa's family and back story, it wasn't the pacing that bothered me, the characters, world and story just didn't reel me in like yuu yuu hakusho did.

Haven't tried tokyo ghoul yet.

Didn't it have the same director as Kino's journey, texhnolize and Lain? If so I might give it a go after finishing Jing.

>>6062

Gintama seems interesting, used to see it aired on tv some years ago, never really watched it, but saw some sceens and thought it to be intresting to watch some day.

First time I've heard of Konosuba, so I guess I'll check that out, thanks anon.
