Zk recommend me some animes
Nozomi's beautiful remastered Utena boxsets. <3Currently-airing shows that I like enough to recommend:
-
Tiger & Bunny: It's an anime about superheroes, written by people who clearly love the genre. The plot can be incredibly stupid at times, but the the show and characters have so much heart that I'm loving it anyway. I also have to single out this and
Bunny Drop for having parent protagonists; it's a nice change of pace from all of the teenagers we usually see.
-
No. 6: Heavily character-driven sci-fi story. I'm worried about how it will end (it's only 11 episodes long, and there's still plenty to be done as of episode 7), but otherwise the show has been pretty enjoyable. There's also BL
subtext, but it's so well-written that it improves the show.
-
Mawaru PenguinDrum: The director of
Sailor Moon and Utena finally decided to work on another show. Utterly insane, but that's what we all expect from the guy.
-
Bunny Drop: A 30-year-old bachelor adopts a 6-year-old girl. It stumbles occasionally, but it's still a pretty good slice-of-life anime.
-
Steins;Gate: A self-proclaimed mad scientist and his friends create a machine that lets them send text messages to the past. It has some really weak episodes and several of the characters are more moe traits than actual people, but the story itself is pretty good.
Older shows that I'm watching/recently finished and liked:
-
The Tatami Galaxy: Possibly the best show of 2010. The series really needs a dub, though; when the narrator is talking at full speed I was
just keeping up with the subtitles, and if something else appeared on-screen I had to pause the video.
-
Arakawa Under the Bridge: It's hard to watch more than a couple of episodes at a time, but it manages to be pretty funny in small doses.
-
Taisho Baseball Girls and Big Windup: I've never been a fan of sports, but based on these two I may need to start watching baseball.
Also, the
Persona 4 anime airs in October.
