If someone is recommending School Days or Eiken of course that's going to viewed as a suspect or bad/trollish recommendation.
But if someone comes in here saying they like Naruto, Cowboy Bebop and Bleach recommending them Mahōka or Attack on Titan isn't a shitty or bad recommendation. Like someone else said it doesn't make sense to recommend someone Flowers of Evil or Yamato 2199(anime a segment of people consider to be good) if they just said they like anime like Attack on Titan or Kill La Kill.
In a way its kinda a argument regarding what one considers to be a bad anime but is popular. A lot of people consider Bleach to be a bad anime, however Bleach is also an extremely popular anime as well. Course I've also noticed people played off that as well "Oh this person likes Naruto and Naruto is a shit anime so I'm going to recommend shit anime like Eiken!"

I see, didn't know it happened something similar with other series also at Crunchyroll! But yeah, that special episode didn't air on TV while being exclusive to the last digital disc volume release (http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B003V1DW7S/), and with this information you bring it seems even more likely to actually be something related to the publisher pushing on this case for the higher-quality BD purchase rather than the stop-gap streaming option.

I never know something like that existed... Thank you.
The Irregular at Magic High School Episodes 14-18
It's starting to come into place now.
So essentially to main protag is actually a
super-human, military weapon with no human emotions left outside of the sibling love for his sister
I get it now, but it's an unfortuante turn for my interest in the last 7 episodes.... I guess I will probably finish them all up tomorrow, but it's definately an intersting turn of events.
Wow, a whole new story arc for Episode 19 now, crazy stuff...
100% definitely the original Gundam Build Fighters.
You'll be fine. I'm most likely a crowd of one against a storm of people who loved or enjoyed it.
I did really like the fights mostly, it was just really everything else that surrounded it that infuriated me with it. Also it had that annoying Summer Wars discordancy where what the characters were doing seemed far too over the top for what was happening in reality.

If you want good and sort of smutty, my pick would probably be Godannar. It's a mecha show with a lot homages and send-ups of classic mech shows, but the fanservice is crazy and there are a lot of crude sexual jokes. Golden Boy also toes that line pretty close, but the dub is greatest dub ever made and the comedy is amazing, which makes it a hilarious classic; definitely watch it (dub only) if you haven't.
The only other one I've seen would probably be Divergence Eve, but that show is trash, avoid.

I mean, it's fine to say that WXIII: Patlabor the Movie 3 is a slow, thoughtful movie but I can't imagine it being that different to Mamrou Oshii's works purely in terms of pacing. That's all I am saying!
I mean, I can't endorse or support people watching Mahoka for example. But if people have said they enjoy something like Bleach or Naruto (and I've certainly given advice on this matter many times) I would suggest Hunter x Hunter or Full Metal Alchemist. It's that difficult to tailor responses based on genre and experience.
Golden Boy is the direction I'm trying to head towards but as with every great show, its very difficult to emulate that boisterousness that's found in the show. I'll try out Godannar but seems like my search might turn up cold cause studios don't animate these great pieces of work, and if they do, its censored to oblivion to spike sales after the anime finishes ;_;

Came for lewd, stayed for censors
. Maria did some funny things occasionally. That about sums it up.
Looks rather lewd in the next season, which means more censors! I'm in.

Just a quick comment on post formatting, you leave a lot of extra spaces between your sentences and it makes your posts a little difficult to read. I'd recommend just leaving one space between lines (as per the above version of your posts) to increase not only the readability of your posts, but the thread in general.
Thanks!

All this talk about The Flowers of Evil just makes me sad that we'll never another series, probably for perfectly sound financial reasons. There's just never been anything that's ever looked or felt like that series within the world of standardises television anime. A truly memorable and unique experience.
Then it'll be near impossible to find lol
god damn it
Haha don't worry about it, you're 100% right. I don't know why I said that it was more artsy, I guess the third film is a weird one. I think its due to the fact that the third film is spread more unevenly, as you get intense moments that rival the more intense scenes of the first two films, but then you get moments where nothing ever really happens, and not in the Snow Rondo or Two in Karuizawa way either. Whereas the first two films were full of the standard Oshii monologues on a boat as the city is shown living and breathing, and artsy moments but they still felt intense and engaging despite these and never really lingered for me.
I guess I meant to say that I appreciated the third film for its Oshii mannerisms that they captured, whereas I felt that the first two films had that and more? That makes it sound like I'm negative towards the third film, but far from it! The third film felt like it was trying to capture that Oshii feel while going for something else and I guess its a movie I appreciated more for its vibe and atmosphere rather than its characters? Not that I didn't like them.
Its weird and hard to describe, I guess artsy was the wrong word entirely but I hope you get what I mean
Its been a while and all I know is that the first two Patlabor films are two of my favorite films of all time! Come to think of it, I like everything Oshii has done.Silver Spoon Season 2 Episodes 6-11 END
Well, you guys were right. The second half of Season 2 is a huge improvement over the first half. Lots of character development and real struggles that you just can't help but feel for the characters and become attached to them.
I look forward to a 3rd season if there's one in the works. Oh and Hachiken's mom is cute.

When Hachiken started crying after reading the "thank you" note in that notebook, I practically cried with him as I could feel the emotion that message sent him after seeing all the struggles he went through only to feel like he was useless and not needed. And the part about Komaba's farm having to shut down after going bankrupt really hit hard. It was great to see the show bring hard situations into the mix like that and change up the always-happy pace of the show, but at the same time, devastating to see Komaba give up on his dream and relent his life to working to pay off debts. I was also glad to see Hachiken and Aki's relationship move a bit forward. They'd make a great couple.
I look forward to a 3rd season if there's one in the works. Oh and Hachiken's mom is cute.
Seriously, I believe that Aku no Hana is one of the best animated shows of all time and one of the best looking shows if not the best. Marathoned that shit and was legit shook, from the audio and stunning use of the ED track to the artstyle and suspenseful episodes all at a pace that follows its own lead, with a episode containing a 6 minute stretch of silence, and yet that shit still had me hooked 100%. My write up on it I did when I watched it is here if anyone is interested (I doubt you are, as everything has already been said about the show, but heck I was looking back and thought that I'd post it ):

That's right, the gulf in quality between Season 1 and Season 2 is fairly dramatic. While it's clearly the same basic show, the first season feels fairly cliched and formulaic both in it's outlook and characters, while the second season reveals that the characters and the story is far more mature and complicated than it initially appeared.

Smut Anime, huh? All in all, there is a lot of boobs and butt, but not much else after the first 10 episodes, lol

Gotcha. Yeah, Golden Boy is a rare bird.
I guess you could also include most of Infinite Stratos as smut, but the only reason to watch IS is Charl, otherwise it's just really bad harem crap.
By top talent, who are we talking here?

Gundam Build Fighters Try 24
Everything happened exactly as expected except Fumina and Shia's resolution was worse than expected and Saga's hand problem ended up being a pointless attempt at drama. If I actually gave a shit about any of the characters in this fight other than Saga I might have enjoyed it for more than the visuals. On to the last Ep and next season I guess...

abandon ship....the show is not worth your time.
What was GAF's final verdict on this show?
A better show than anime fans deserve.
Well I was speaking more generally, and to people who want to try anime for the first time. And certainly I don't get recommending things you dislike, but then I also loathe the whole hatewatch thing thats grown up on tne internet regarding media.
Infinite Stratos is more fanservice than smut. Its a great show because of Charl but everything else sucks in it. The onee-sama is a nice addition though :>
Other than that, its pretty rare to find good shows like these. Anyone mind giving him a list of the top 90's anime? Ya know like GTO, Yuyu Hakusho, HxH, etc.

you'll be tearing your hair out if you continue
A really good anime adaptation of a really good manga.
As popular as the show is its likely that google play and itunes have it.
Hamakaze or GTFO.
Seriously, I hope shes there!
Its right there in the title of the show silly!
That man is a FOOL.
Unfortunately most harem MCs are just that dense.
I saw Patema Inverted at FYE today and was reminded that it has indeed come out in the US on BD. I shall order it post haste.
Dunno how I missed it.
I recommend SChool Days because I think it is legitimately worth watching. It goes where few anime dare to go. It takes a much more realistic approach to the proceedings.
Oh, what the fuck:
So they based the character models on real people, huh?
Of course! I want to see real life Ema and Aoi. they are probably cute as fuck!
watch Ultimate Girls. Ask Envelope about it.
