I'm sure Kyoani will find a way to lower the bar further.
Though I will admit the movie looks lovely.

Art setting is done by the guy (forget the name) who was in charge of that Space Dandy S2 episode with that dead planet aka the best Space Dandy epis ode.
I am waiting for the trademark HEADTILT.
OK, I am now sold on this. Let's fucking GO.
Planet Limbo episode was the GOAT.

Art Club Problem ep.11
OK episode, but with only a couple funny moments. Tge insert song was pretty well placed and the lyrics spot on.
Looking forward to this one.

1. I'll watch it without subs if I have to.
2. Even then I'll take it.
3. I don't know what this is.

You've become so excited for CG robots!

As long as they're not Cross Ange or Aquarion CG robots, it's fine.
They just have to blend in well and not be over-designed.
Great news!
I don't know where they'll go with it, but that's part of the appeal.

For anyone watching it it was kind of obvious but it's nice to have it confirmed.
That's asking a lot nowadays.

There have been quite a few instances of good CG robots lately.
Danball Senki, Comer Lucifer, Megaton Musashi being some examples.
They've been getting better from the absolutely horrendous garbage they've always been before.
You know, you really should watch Kuromukuro. (Yeah I know you said you don't like the mech designs, but still)

I probably will sometime when it's all on Netflix, but yeah, I still say that I really don't like the look of the mechs.
Yes, I heard.
Still, at least the possibility's out there!

Danball Senki is from 2011. How "before" are we talking about here?
Recommendations!
I asked a while back for some anime recommendations for a 'slice of life' series. I've now kind of changed my mind.
I'm looking for a 'must watch' anime. Y'all gave me Gurren Lagann which was phenomenal. Any other must watch anime? It can be ANY genre.
I'm only asking again since I've not watched any since GL and I'm fancying something known to be excellent.

It makes sense that Blue Uru would be their main priority right now, but you'd think a Buster project won't have huge problems finding sponsors.

Tales of Zestiria the X ep.11

I think I could recommend some more but these should be good for starters. All of them are excellent in my book and very enjoyable. Very different to TTGL and KLK but I think you'll like them.

Fullmetal Alchemist is widely liked, certainly one of the most popular shows in Western anime fandom. I strongly prefer the 2003 anime adaptation to the later Brotherhood adaptation, which is comparatively lacking in directorial creativity and finesse. But that's a subject which is hotly contested. At the very least, 2003 is worth your time.

The original is like despair while the brotherhood one is like gurren lagann.
also watch the Skullman.

Hmm...It sure looks nice, and what I've seen of the character interactions and worldbuilding seems well thought out, if not very original. (Irresponsible Captain Tylor in a faux-European Valkyria Chronicles setting!)
But the show doesn't have a good grasp on the difference between flirtation and sexual assault, and the women's costume designs are not great.
I guess I'll check out the second episode, if only to resolve this cliffhanger.

I preferred Brotherhood. It was faithful to the source material, while the original went its own way after a certain point. I much prefer the ending in Brotherhood, not because it was faithful but because it actually tied things up rather nicely. The original on the other hand... Just infuriated me lol.

AW MAN.
Reading Re:Zero spoilers for episode 25, the episode apparently doesn't have the pivotal moment I've been waiting 3 months to talk about.

Wasnt it trying to be anime original or something?

I like it but generally it isn't well regarded around here. Being able to binge watch it helps with the troubled pacing some at least.
As far as top recommendations I'll just throw in Dennou Coil, KareKano and Evangelion.
I'm glad that's the case. If it's the thing I got spoiled on a last week, then honestly, it would suck to end it there with no promises of a second season.

I personally like the 2003 version much more than Brotherhood, although opinions vary on that.
I'd definitely recommend watching the 2003 version first if you plan to see both, though. Brotherhood really skips through a lot of early material in the series, so certain moments in the early episodes of Brotherhood don't have as much emotional impact if you haven't seen the original or read the manga.
But I also just think the original version is a more enjoyable overall show than Brotherhood is.
I'd probably recommend against Attack on Titan. It has some interesting ideas, but the story winds up falling apart in my mind, and the anime in particular is plagued by really bad pacing after the first few episodes. It also has long scenes where there's practically no animation whatsoever.

I had this day all planned out waiting for this too. Instead they apparently stopped right before it as well!
No, it apparently still stuck with the source material.
Brotherhood is more or less the manga in animated from. It has a more fleshed out story and characterization, great animation during fights and all around is the more complete package even if it can look a bit bland at times.
FMA 2003 sort of follows the same story until about half way through(and honestly covers it better than Brotherhood) where it spins off into its own thing. IMO the anime original content is extremely hit or miss, some its amazing some of its god awful. But it has a great tone and darker direction throughout.
Watch either or honestly, they're both good.
AoT has severe pacing and art direction issues(same as the manga really) but really hype action. Its an enjoyable popcorn action watch. If you like zombies/walking dead type scenarios youd probably enough it.
