Most were Stark or Fern, then one Himmel and I think two Eisens

I would make a great Eisen (or most dwarves) if not for a fact that I can’t grew beards to save my life.

I’m a bulky but very short (159 cm) guy, I don’t think I need to kneel like the guy in the pic to look the part. But we don’t have big con like this in my country.

I didn’t really consider it’s appeal to female audiences, but now that I think about it I guess it makes sense.

Most popular sports titles have Odagiri Effect in play somewhere I think.

My sister didn’t watch any anime but Haikyu and one other I’ll mention. If there ever shounen Badminton anime I’m pretty sure she would watch that too and she already did but its Blue Box but its more romcom than sport.

Jezuz, I virtually never wrote my gripes with any media because ultimately art is subjective. Did anyone even enjoy watching this? I think this is the first time I’m dropping a series not because I just don’t like the source material but how they did it. What’s going on ? just the usual production hell/underpaid team ?

How is the reception on the hometurf ( Japan ) side?

I adore Seitokai Yakuindomo and they do have the crazy camera works but only for the movie/ova intro and never once thought “WTF did they take when making this” I only realize gohands made this because I’m writing this lol and the series is pretty action packed as far as slice of life goes.

• Seitokai Yakuindomo
• Tanaka-kun is Always Listless
• Saiki Kusuo

I’ve lost count how many times I rewatched them. And after the intro context, you could just watch random episode.

Barakamon

Just finish the season and read the rest of the manga

Not necessarily the shenanigans on screen, but the way each character interacts is pretty realistic I would say.

I’ve never wanted kids but wouldn’t mind if a little gremlin like Naru suddenly in my care.

My mind immediately conjure crab rave when the Fuchikomas gather around, on the beach no less.

I didn’t see Togou’s Dad being Buchi’s savior coming lol.

Will this ever get another season? I think I need more.

Jih-Roh

Is this the one you mean?

I’ve watched the rest beside Star Blazers and Code-Geass but not in the moods for full-blown mechs/space opera right now.

There are a lot of suggestions already so if you have any other recs (don’t need to be military) of your faves (maybe the under the radar one) throw me some more. I’ll watch anything unless it’s too gory/body-horror types.

Thanks for the recs !

Code Geass

After all this years I just realize that code-geass is a mech anime lol. Just through osmosis I even know the protag name is Lelouch but Idk what gives this impression I thought the series is old-school Eminence of shadow (also didn’t watch this one because I just can’t with the cringe).

Muv-Luv: Alternative I just skimmed through the 1st eps, looks decent. Is there a prominent fan-service, what with the whatever the woman pilot suit is wearing? I think I’m getting too old for that kind of trope.

Knights of Sidonia

This looks amazing ! But I think I’ll read the manga instead, idk I like the CG animation based on the trailers.

Thanks for the recs !

Is there any particular entry you like that you recommend? the '95 film?

Gasaraki is a mix of mech, mystical, and military

That looks promising just by the still-shot. Ground-based kinetic warfare is what I’m currently craving kinda bored with the usual space opera. Also found Break Blade the other day, idk how that one’s rated but the action looks great.

Grave of the Fireflies

I know this one is coming, but I don’t think I’m ready, maybe one day. I think I’ll take a look at Area 88 though, I never watch air-unit-based stories (yes, never seen topgun).

Fire Emblem game series

You bet I do ! That also reminds me there’s a new Brigandine series coming.

Thanks for the recs !

Yeah, I don’t think it’s my jam.

Alderamin, though proper good fun, I’m surprised I missed that one kinda hand-wavy with the power and world building but I like it. We won’t get season 2 won’t we? Too bad I just can’t get into LN.

Also just finished GATE, stoked for the new series even with cast changes.

Sound of the Sky instantly reminds me of The Bugle Call: Song of War. IDK if it will get higher stakes or keep the chill vibe ( just got to ep2). I think I’ll finished this one last with next season more chill series.

Oh, might be an interesting watch. My country is actually one of the Japanese colonies, and yeah I have heard one or two genuine hates from older folks about the imperial atrocities, but I think my generation is already far removed from the feeling, so I don’t know how I would react (probably not much lol).

Still weird knowing the US dropping the nuke is what directly “allowed” our independence.

You weren’t kidding with the colonial propaganda. I genuinely upset of myself cuz I was cheering the JDSF when they rescued Italica lol.

Do you know how long I e wanted to talk about this?

By all means, talk about it even if it’s unrelated to my request. I will still read all the replies, but the current recs I’m getting are pretty good, and there’s still a lot to get through.

Nippon Sangoku just finished airing, and I’m on the fence whether to continue reading or not. I mainly read and usually didn’t watch series I follow cuz it rarely enhances the experience. The show production is top notch, and I’m in a dilemma because on one hand I want more but on the other hand I kinda want to watch season 2 fresh if that ever happen.

Oh, is the series has some full-scale war element to it? I was waiting for the new series and then look at the rest of the catalog based on how I like it.

My impression of it is it’s a Blade Runner (the Gosling one) but femme fatale.

did I just watch pro colonial propaganda?

Lol, which one did you referring to? Drifter or Gate?

I honestly didn’t expect this many recs, the subs usually have very few comments.

Ah, okay. Is the first season ends in cliffhanger ? Not that I mind, but read quite a few comments wanting them to just continue with the first ensemble.

Might not be quite what you want

What do you mean my guy this is exactly what I want lol. My example is just what I recently found, I’m not opposed to much more realistic/historical adaptation or old one at that.

it wasn’t negative enough on Japan’s behaviour during the war for some non-Japanese audiences

What do you mean by this? Not enough light on Japanese’s atrocities ?

Argento Soma

Also, never heard of this one, I’ll check both out. Thank you !

Ah, gotcha. Alright then it goes to the watchlist. Thanks.

Sound of the Sky | Alderamin on the Sky

Both looks promising, I think I’ll watch this two first.

Others already mention Girls und Panzer so it’s in the backlog, and looking at Azure Lane it looks like some gacha game or something, is this all female world or something like that? I’ll give this one a ‘maybe’, but thank you for the other suggestions !

Looks wacky af. Thank you !
