Anime Midstream, the company that took 6 years to release its only anime license, has announced that they've licensed the anime B't X and will be releasing it on DVD.
Much like their previous license, Matchless Raijin-oh, I have absolutely no idea what this show is. I don't think it's anything I'll care about. I'm honestly just surprised that they're releasing another anime when they struggled so much with releasing their previous one, along with how crowded and competitive the market has become.
Hey, I remember B't X! It was about some guy with a robo-pegasus companion and a gauntlet that allowed him to perform special attacks, but that's all I remember. They used to air it back when I was a kid, but I never ended up getting into it.
I agree that It does look like one of those IPs that nobody ever asked to see again, which makes it look more like an attempt at bringing something over, even if it means getting it from the bargain/trash bin.
I need anime recommendations.
I'm not new in the genre, I have watched many seasons of Pokemon, the first season of Digimon, some episodes of One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh, etc. but I want to get into it again.
What I want:
Small number of episodes, 20-30 episodes max, for example.
I wouldn't mind some action, like the Digimon series for example, but it's not necessary.
I love philosophy, so I would like very much to watch something that deals with philosophical themes.
A good romantic subplot is a plus, not a neccesity though.
I don't have a specific genre in mind, but I don't like horror.
Mouryou no Hako (detective mystery, delves into the human psyche and that of people who commit atrocities)
Psycho pass (action and philosophy in a cyberpunk world, just stay away from the second season)
Wolf's Rain (lots of character drama and some action in a decadent world, also has a romantic subplot of sorts)
Evangelion (you said you wanted philosophical themes, right?)
Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica (a dark twist on the magical girl genre that isn't just trying to be edgy for the sake of it)
Black Lagoon (lots of action in a lawless world, along with a character that gets dragged into it and learns about the less savory side of life)
Bowboy Bebop (a great mix of action, comedy and drama in a futuristic noir setting, with romance and a theme of how different characters interact in different ways with their past, present and future)
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (lots of action, but also has some really well thought-out character arcs that it uses to further the show's themes about loss)
Gatchaman Crowds (a sentai show that focuses on a protagonist that wonders what makes a hero a hero)
One-Punch Man (an action/comedy show about a superhero who just wants to find a worthy opponent, but is so strong that he keeps defeating everything and everyone with a single attack, and the apathy that comes from it)
Maybe:
Monogatari series (if you want characters bouncing ideas at each other for entire episodes, then this has you covered... but be aware that the fanservice can get grating if you aren't ready for it)
