FLCL was pretty good. And I liked End of Evangelion. Everything else was sorta meh to me.

If you liked FLCL you might like Cowboy Beebop. Different genres and styles, but they share one thing: excellent music.

The opening, for example.
TADA-TADA-TADA- TA-DA!

Eh, probably not. I'll see if I can find the movies and call the series done.

In semi-related news, watched the first episode of Kill la Kill. Sheesh, and here I thought Yoko had the most fanservice-y outfit ever

At least check out Parallel Works 8, it's actually an important part of the plot. You can find it pretty easily on Youtube.

@The thread title: I actually don't like anime, but I have seen/know surprisingly more about it that I intended to admit to. o.O

There's probably something out there you'd like.

Go see the movie Redline

[Parsely]

Go see the movie Redline

YES. YES. ALL THE YES.

Well, what was everything else? And what do you tend to like in non-anime media?

Go see the movie Redline

YES. YES. ALL THE YES.

I'll third this too.

I finally managed to catch up with Jojo's Bizarred Adventure. Wow Jojolion is weird. Now all I have to do is get a copy of Rohan at the Louvre and I'll have read all the translated Jojo materials ever.

So there's this visual novel called, amazingly enough, don't take it personally babe, it just ain't your story. It's generally pretty nice, and seeing as it's originally written in English, it's much easier to get engaged in the story.

Those were my coherent thoughts. What I really have to say is:
Arianna
why are you doing this
arianna stahp
don't jump my bones
*Avis slams his head repeatedly into the screen*

I heard about that one. I know virtually nothing about it, but I did enjoy Analog and Hate+ by the same person.

[Avis-Mergulus]

Judging by the tvtropes page, I don't think I would like Analogue. But I'm really enjoying dtipbijays (Good God, I shouldn't have done that) as of now, and I can definitely recommend it.

[Flying Dice]

Go see the movie Redline

YES. YES. ALL THE YES.

I'll third this too.

Redline eez good. Redline eez wery good.

I rather liked that VN actually.
The characters had interesting developments, and the MC is enough of a scumbag that he actually has a personality.

It holds true to the name; You can influence his actions, but you can't tell him what to do. Because, well, don't take it personally babe, it just ain't your story. It's his story.

Go see the movie Redline

Redline is the best racing movie ever made. And I normally dislike racing movies.



Also to the person who mentioned God's Left Hand, Devil's Right Hand: What is this even man. It's sorta fantastic but also remarkably twisted and all sorts of fucked up. Enjoying it so far.

[Karlito]

According to the preview, next week's episode of Space Dandy is going to be the fanservice episode. Given what I've seen of the show already, I can't even imagine what that means.

(Today's episode was enjoyable as well.)

[Beast Tamer]

If no-one's mentioned it I'd like to suggest Outbreak Company. The premise is a little ridiculous, but its good for a laugh if nothing else.

[Reelya]

Spoiler: Outbreak Company, Mini Review (click to show/hide)

Outbreak Company's setting sort of reminded me of Zero no Tsukaima, but more comedy and without battles or domestic violence. Its a little harem-ish in structure (sex ratio-wise, but it doesn't really rely on the typical harem slap-stick stuff for it's comedy), but the MC is a cut above average - he doesn't act like a perv to the girls (or get constantly accused of being such), he's a nice guy and considerate yet not a wimp either.

Basically the main character is transported to a cliched tolkeinesque fantasy world and sets about educating the local humans, elves and dwarves about Otaku culture, it pokes fun at lots of anime and gaming tropes. All the other shows mentioned in Outbreak Company are distortions or bastardizations of existing shows, e.g. they often reference a popular show called Rental Madoka.

In news, Japanese subscribers vote on best anime of 2013. Can you guess what was #1?
