Just finished Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket.
Maybe I will watch the second Patlabor movie.
Matthew Barnes
WMT is good for your heart.
Cameron Watson
any anime similar to the comfiness of Onizuka
Julian Evans
that was a question
Daniel Martin
I really like Ideon and I want more people to watch it. Please watch the full thing and don't just jump into A Contact/Be Invoked, or you'll miss out on a very fun little show.
It's been spoiled to death thanks to the memes surrounding it, but it's a very nice show if you're the type to enjoy an old style of sci-fi with a slow burn and build up to an "interesting" event.
Thank you and have a good day.
Adam Walker
LUPAAAN DE TUUUUUURD. It's fun. I hope they do more episodes where Lupin, Jigen, Fujiko and Goemon actually team up.
Alexander Williams
None , but durarara have fist fighting and an urban setup. It's not comfy though , season 2 is a huge clusterfuck.
If you're searching for urban theme + comfy + school dropouts i'd recommend kamisama no memouchou.
Really nothing like onizuka out there.
Leo Davis
>Lupin, Jigen, Fujiko
yeah
>Lupin, Jigen, Fujiko and Goemon
no
Nathan Rodriguez
Adam Hall
I agree. Made me feel nostalgic for 0079. Also Bes is best boy.
>Please watch the full thing and don't just jump into A Contact/Be Invoked
Do people actually do that?
Grayson Myers
Levi Hall
The School teacher part or Delinquent part?
Gokusen has the same premise as GTO, but is yakuza lady teacher and delinquents instead.
There was also this very short OVA about a Teacher lady and a delinquent class, but I forgot the name.
If you want delinquent comedy then Kyou Kara Ore Wa and Be-Bop Highschool.

There's a Yuusha series even at Nakano Broadway for the next few weeks, and I've been meaning to watch GGG for a while now. I've got 57 episodes to watch before I go on April 7th.
William Perez
Yes. There are people who advocate skipping the last couple of episodes of the TV series, or just skipping the TV series in general, in favor of getting into A Contact and Be Invoked ASAP.
An argument could be made for people who had seen it all in the past, but even then I think Ideon is a slow burn that should be appreciated for its journey. I enjoy the destination, but it doesn't pay off as much if you can't kick back, relax, and take in everything that happens along the way there.
I sorta wish Discotek or someone could pick up the Ideon BDs and give us an official release of the whole thing. It would be nice to own.
Gije Zaral is best boy, btw, but Bes is a good choice that I can't disagree with.
Gavin Turner
Does Ideon pick up? I'm new to mecha and this is hailed as a classic, but I'm having a hard time getting into it. The character interactions are weird, and it's the same thing every episode so far
Hudson Allen
I heard he's a nice man, yeah, even if he gets angry, sometimes.
Jonathan Bell
Remember to discard idiots like and Space Runaway Ideon is a garbage show that suffers all the same Tomino issues, on top of severe budget issues. It gets massively overrated because Anno cited the finale movie, Be Invoked, as an influence on EoE, and that's the sole reason for 99.9% of retards deciding to watch it. In other words, it's just evababbies.
There's a reason you don't hear much about other old Tomino shows like Dunbine or L-Gaim here.
Sebastian Robinson
>this is hailed as a classic
No it isn't, dumbass. It is 100% scrapheap mecha trash dug up by eva fanboys because almighty lord and savior Anno mentioned it.
Dylan Murphy
People do indeed call it a classic, and that's where I was interested
Oliver Martin
>Do people actually do that?
There's always speedwatchers that suggest compilation movies like in Gundam.
Angel Cruz
I began watching Esper Mami yesterday, and so far it has been really fun and interesting. But with how long it is, I fully expect it to get stale and repetitive with no progress whatsoever, so I don't expect to ever finish it. But will continue watching until I get bored of it.
Dominic Carter
>sucking Anno's cock this hard
Kevin Hall
>People do indeed call it a classic
Great argument, moron.
But yes, retards like you slap on the label of classic based on nothing.

Henry Powell

Anthony Sanders
Ideon is good
Xavier Ward
How far in are you? By episode 6, all the major plot elements, recurring themes, and general structure would have been laid out for you. If you're past 6 and you're not finding yourself enjoying it, I think it's alright to drop it, or just shelve it for now and try again some other time when you're looking for a show like it.
I think it's a good show, but I'm not going to pretend it's perfect on every level. If you don't like it, you don't like it, I just appreciate the effort you made in checking it out.
Camden Perry
>Getting angry at me even though it's literally just what I read, not even what I agree with
Angel Jones
It was episode 4 I think. Maybe I should continue past 6 then
Jacob Howard
>interested in watching an old mecha show
>50 episodes
Zachary White
Yes? That's a good number of episodes to tell a complete story with anything resembling decent scale.
Landon Morales
What's the deal with these bugs?
Connor Garcia
Cicadas? Even before I moved to Japan I knew what they were. Where I used to live you'd see them every now and then, over here when they get active, they're so fucking loud you can't hear yourself think if you're walking outside near a tree.
Kayden Lopez
reminder: no /m/ "classic" is anywhere near as good as they say it is, they view everything with mecha-tinted goggles. their favorite genre is primarily made for selling children's toys, everything else is secondary.
Lincoln Cruz
0079 could have erased 10 or so episodes from the earth arc and lost nothing of value
Zachary Brooks
I'd rather watch a 50 eps good series than 4 godawful 12-episode seasonal shit.
Owen Phillips
Remember you would watch these shows once a week over an entire year.
Brayden Gutierrez
I'm sure you really believe that. But, you should know you're actually wrong, and it's likely due to your being a homosexual.
Henry Jackson
>Characterization is nothing of value, only major plot points
You're the worst.
Mason Gomez
So that's what's making all that noise in Evangelion, those insects seem to be rather uncommon where I live.
I've seen a very similar shot to this one in several old animes, so I thought that maybe there is some symbolic meaning behind it.
Ian Morgan
>so I thought that maybe there is some symbolic meaning behind it.
No, there's just a fucking lot of them. It's a way to remind the audience "it's summer and it's hot out".
Cooper Myers
>I'd rather watch a 50 eps good series
but its a mechashit series so you know it will be padded out with filler and a mandatory fight sequence every episode because GOTTA SELL THOSE MODEL KITS
Robert Campbell
Let me guess, all you
Jayden Bennett
It just tells you that it's summer
Isaiah Sanders
>mechashit
Evan Wilson
Versailles was such a work of art. I never liked Marie Antoinette whilst watching it, but I appreciate how great of a character she is: a true, naive and manipulated hypocrite at heart.
Juan Jackson
But the movies are literally an improvement overall. Our saviour Tomino said so himself.
Justin Morales
From 80s onwards maybe. Before then, a lot of shows really were made to essentially be monster-of-the-week, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but a lot of people just don't enjoy it.
Matthew Rivera
Friendly reminder to not use these threads as rec threads and to report posts like this.
John Jones
I hope you're being facetious.
Juan Young
A mandatory mecha fight scene makes a series even better.
Hudson Lewis
Tomino also hates Victory and said Turn A took place 500 years after UC.
Hunter Robinson
I'm not, it's true.
Wyatt Parker
41 episodes into Patlabor. I'm really going to miss it when it's over. I loved everything. I love the OVAs, the movies, and the TV series. I know there's more but I feel like it just won't be the same. I'm really going to miss the cast and seeing the beautiful Ingram designs every day.
John Hughes
>manipulated
Who manipulated her? She was surrounded by people begging her to take her duties as a monarch seriously while she just wanted to continue living the carefree life of a young princess with no regard for the people of France.
Jace Stewart
Patlabor is great. Also, don't forget there are an extra 16 OVAs that take place after the tv series and wrap up the story.
Jaxon Jones
This thing of an anime.
Asher King
these threads should just be pre-2010s at this point because newfags don't watch anything before 2010 anyway.
tfw I can't discuss Arete Hime or Adult Empire Strikes Back because they're both from 2001
Julian Brown
Remember that one bitch who got her into gambling? I can't actually remember her name, but she had a nasty female friend, that's for sure.
Joshua Scott
You should watch IBO. You strike me as the type who would prefer that kind of mecha. It even has a gay character so you'll have someone you can relate to.
James Evans
Are the New Files as good when they don't have anything to do with Mamoru Oshii though?
If you want, you can just go make a 2000-2010 thread?
Henry Smith
Well yeah they don't. If you're new to anime and haven't seen anything, you'd watch some quality airing show or a classic everyone recommends. You wouldn't start with obscure stuff
Matthew Stewart
Not that user but that's 50 episodes overall, isn't it?
Jackson Nguyen
>letting K-On fags in the pre-y2k threads
Adrian Davis
Just about 50 if you add up both seasons. I'll never get those hours of my life back.
William Gonzalez
just like ill never get the hours of my life spent watching trash like zeta gundam or votoms. dont fall for the /m/eme lads
Levi Myers
Madame du Polignac. She may have manipulated her but that was only briefly. Marie had been shirking royal duties for years before she met her and if anything she got worse in the years after Fersen convinced her to kick her out of Versailles.
Gavin Anderson
>You should watch IBO
That's cruel user.
>trash like zeta gundam
Consider sudoku.
Julian White
>Writes like an ESLfag
>lads
>shit taste
Checks out.
Michael Harris
I knew my post would attract /m/aggots who unironically think Zeta Gundam and Votoms are masterpieces. Embarrassing.
Wyatt Hall
You're literally subhuman and no opinions you have carry any weight.
Easton Hughes
>People say it's a classic
NO THEY DON'T THEY ONLY -SAY- IT'S A CLASSIC
>That's what I said
REEEEEEEEEEEEE
Camden Johnson
>I knew my bait would guarantee some replies
Congratulations, I fell for it.
Camden Moore
Nope, you can make a 2000s thread. People do it all the time, and they're actually pretty decent.
Aaron Thompson
Cicadas soend a fuckton if time underground before they mature into a bug that looks like that, so they are sometimes used as a symbol for maturing, waiting a long time for a brief payoff, transience, similar themes
But mostly "it's summer"
Carson Bell
I'm 80% sure that this is just that fucker who thinks pre-2000s threads are too cordial and thinks shitposting is the only thing that counts as discussion and you guys are falling hard for his bait
Isaiah Lopez
>Are the New Files as good
I'd say so. They have pretty much the same tone and style as the television series.
Liam Torres
Circlejerk cocksucking that you get from newfags or refugees from other sites of (god forbid) gay ERPers is fucking terrible, but when people who actually watch anime and have been here for more than a couple years gather in a thread that doesn't put a target for shitposters or newfags on itself (like the 3x3 threads) then you can actually have a good thread because there's no need to insult half the posters.
Julian Foster
>trash like zeta gundam
Levi Fisher
Just like evafags already are let in?
Lucas Sanders
I mean compared to 0079 it really wasn't that great
Aaron Lee
What an awful opinion to have.
Adrian Butler
People usually tell them to fuck off, actually.
Gabriel Ramirez
The fight choreography turning into *teleports behind you* movements and killed zeta for me, even when the combining robot autism of the original was stripped
Aaron Gray
remember when these threads discussed good anime instead of attracting /m/anchildren fellating their toy commercials?
Juan Thompson
>I only watch mature anime for mature gentlemen such as myself
Gabriel Johnson
Most good pre-2000s anime are mecha though.
Camden Hernandez
That statement is questionable, but don't know enough to say for sure.
Blake Gray
M8 you're the one ensuring the thread revolves around /m/ right now
Please stop
Tyler Nelson
He is a nice man. Yeah, he smiles.
Sebastian Moore
>Tfw enjoy all the anime typically associated with this attitude
>Had no idea it was even a thing to be a fan of those sorts of shows, just thought it was shows I liked
Parker Rivera
These will never not be Recommendation threads. I'm glad mechafags are here.
Luke Bell
Remember when user was too busy fellating his boyfriend to shitpost the threads by pretending /m/echa isn't top tier anime? Me neither.
Jacob Young
70s mecha is peak anime.
Ian Phillips
70s mecha manga > 70s mecha anime
Adam Foster
Watched Appleseed last night for the first time. It was fun and all, it was fun but felt a little straightforward and less memorable than other Shirow-associated works to me.
Also like, goddamn you guys, you know there's a traitor in your midst and you don't immediately suspect the guy who was repeating the terrorist's rhetoric over his wife's grave and calling for the downfall of society the day before?
Samuel Adams
That's only true for Getter.
Aiden Johnson
I'm going to post this every day until you like it
