I have spent a fair amount of time between Thursday and today watching Bakemonogatari through Monogatari Series S2 from start to finish for the first time. Why did I wait this long to watch something so awesome? At least Hanamonogatari is starting soon so there is something more to look forward to.

I should probably catch up on that series as I've only watched Bakemonogatari so far. I loved the character development but the show in general was a little slow paced for my liking. I'll probably pick up Nisemonogatari soon anyway as I don't have a lot to watch this season.

Don't have a lot to watch!?!?

I have like 10 shows from this season that I'm still watching and I've already dropped 3

The pacing does not change much but the character development only gets better. Nisemnogatari was my least favorite of the three but it is worth it just to get to Monogatari S2.

Hahaha, nothing really caught my eye except for Sabagebu (which is actually coming along MUCH better than I had expected), and I didn't really look into much else because I wanted to use it as an opportunity to catch up on my backlog a little.

Sadly, I am always a season or 2 back.

Currently watching pingpong based on Hasu's recommendation in this topic.

It's awesome. Drop what you're doing and watch it now.

I just finished watching Ghost in the Shell SAC.
It was really good! The only thing I didn't like was the 3D animated intro, it looked weird I guess.

Do SAC 2 bc it's even better. SAC Movie is good too.

It's pretty dated now, I guess.
I really like the intro song, though.

Also +1 for 2nd Gig.

[dorkvader]

kill la kill episode 14 is like grand theft auto in osaka.

guns, money, mindless greed, food. I love it.

I watched pingpong in like 2 days: you guys need to get on that ASAP.

[noisyturtle]

I was planning to get all the Miyazaki Ghibli films that were released in those beautiful Japanese Collector's Edition Blu Ray's but then after shopping around realized the prices were absolutely mad. People are asking upwards of $170 for Princess Mononoke alone.

**** it, guess I'll just get 'em all in plain old DVD, besides I don't think they released Ponyo in that series anyway.

I thought the second gig was kinda boring.. vs the first.. which felt fresh...  \\whereas the second season was like,, oh great ANOTHER conspiracy...

I would punch a nun in the face for a 3rd season.

I hope so, brother... supposedly the story gets much darker and mature after Second Raid. Even if they did make further series, I'm sure they'll lighten it up for the general audience but as long as they stay with KyoAni, and hopefully, Takemoto Yasuhiro, I'm sure we'll be fine. Hopefully...

[Puddsy]

what is your obsession with phil fish lately

[paicrai]

hes a damn sideburned pretentious dang ass loser and he says some stupid ****
and its sort of an injoke barely maybe depends

[naasfu]

Hmm, I've been meaning to watch FMP for awhile now.  Guess I should try to watch it soon.

Has anyone seen Jungle wa Itsumo Hare nochi Guu?  It was pretty bizarre but I loved that show.  However, only watch the original TV series.  The later OVA series were terrible and not funny at all for me.

Naasfu, jungle was one of my favorites! I used hale as my avatar for a long time, I still have it on OCN. 

It was just so weird I loved it. That opening song gets me everytime!

I'm into all types but dystopian stuff is definitely awesome! The 80's and 90's sure got that stuff down strong. Everything you listed are great, with some of them being my favorites!

I really liked Hare + Guu!
Man, haven't seen that in a while.

The Potes cracked me up every time.

Can't get much more dystopian than that.

Add Bubblegum Crisis (also Kenichi Sonada) to that list, and Appleseed (Masamune Shirow of GITS)

On topic with Kenichi Sonoda... GUNSMITH CATS.

You're the only person I've seen recognize Gall Force 
Just doesn't get enough love these days.

Much like Maze Mega-Burst Space.

[VesperSAINT]

I was born in the 80's so I watched a lot of that stuff in the 90's. The 80's and 90's is what I like to call the Golden Era of anime. I'm also just a big Kenichi Sonada fan

Battle Angel Alita is also a classic in the genre.

I agree completely.

[divito]

KIBA kind of had a dystopian piece to it.

Here's my list, though I haven't paid much attention to it in a long time, or watched anything in a long time.

Ah yeah I love the opening song so much.  I hummed it for weeks after watching that show.

[hwood34]

Finished season 1 of log horizon, can't wait for season 2 Also really enjoying black bullet so far

[Den441]

Yeah there is something about some 80s anime that captures this futuristic vibe that even shows like Psycho-Pass can't capture today. Macross, Bubble Gum Crisis,Dirty Pair are some of my favorites.

[tp4tissue]

any thing good recently? past 3 month-ish ?

[tp4tissue]

Also..  just found out.. Getting drunk, and watching anime is a real thing..  I thought it was just a gag...

Don't think this counts as it ended in Spring, but I'm watching Log Horizon atm in preparation for the new season in October, and it's actually awesome!


As for summer season, I'd recommend:


- Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-Kun is my Anime of the Season (HILARIOUS comedy, slice of life; very character-driven and it's not forced at all)


- Aldnoah.Zero (from the Urobutcher himself comes a mecha title very similar in nature to Code Geass; its key aspect is that it's much more realistic than other mechas--rather than sheer willpower or demi-god abilities, the MC wins through intelligence and strategic sacrifices)


- Zankyou no Terror (it was hyped up to be almost movie-quality in animation and character development; it veered a bit off course, but it starts off as a very smart battle between tacticians, with a plot focusing on terrorists trying to get their message across)

[kitsun8]

There is a lot of good anime out this season tbh

[hwood34]

bout to start watching clannad

Hit me with some titles and I'll have to check them out.

I think I've been watching too much "new" stuff so I think I'll watch baccano next.

[Puddsy]

Watched pingpong not long ago and it was excellent. Also watched that "Ryūgajō Nanana no Maizōkin" one (totaly copypasta from internet. I can't be bothered to type all that) and it was pretty good but too short.

[singaporean123]

I recently watched Psycho Pass, I'd say it was pretty good.

My friends also recommend me to watch boku no pico

we are no longer friends

Looked up the wiki..  Indeed, if your friend was male...  that anime is maximum japan inappropriate..

[slip84]

I'm really confused about why they kept making anime after Cowboy Bebop. That seemed like a wholly logical stopping point.

you can only watch it so many times until you have it memorized entire.
