Anime List Manga List

I love reading, listening to music (60's/70's Classic Rock), watching football and anime. I also like watching sitcoms (a select few, actually) and movies (again, very selective).

I mostly watch SOL/Comedy. I find the plot of most 'serious' anime weak these days and try to stay clear of them. There are obvious exceptions.

I only take up a book or anime or movie, or for that matter anything, only if I know for certain that I will like it. Obviously, that is a very lousy condition, and I have time and again wasted much of my time reading about something rather than just spend that time doing it and checking out for myself.

I am on Goodreads too, and if you want to check out what kind of books I read pm me.

Oh, and feel free to send me a friend request!

I liked one of your reviews, I actually went there cause I disliked it so much I thought there were more episodes or something, but no was a bad story, a bad hentai really well drawn like you said but only the bad coming up in terms of story. What is only sad and depressing and is a shame cause the drawing is very good. I wanted to give you a good one I found for you entertainment, I doubt you wont like this one: kaifuku jutsushi no yarinaoshi

Why Osaka and not Tomo or Kagura?

the purpose of chimera ant is to grow gon as a character along with everyone else, his character will immensely grow deeper and lose the cliche'd anime protaganist that most shounen anime/manga's have.

_fivesilentmiles Feb 13, 2018 6:55 PM

i see that you were only on episode 20~ on hunter x hunter, and trust me, around this point it felt like one of the blandest, most basic shows with a typical happy go lucky protagonist. But when you start going around the 30-40~s boy does it get good. Unlike 99% of shounens out there Gon as a character changes quite a lot, and is usually never the 'full' focus of the show. As you watch on you'll begin to see what makes hunter x hunter considered so highly rated.

I know, I saw Cowboy Bebop on your favourites. The Stand Alone Complex series is, in my humble opinion, stellar. I liked the first film a lot too, but not as much.

I haven't seen Texhnolyze. If you like, I can make a note to watch and review it, although I'm not sure when I'd get around to it.

Isaac Asimov is really good in general and the Foundation series isn't an exception. The Dune series is a bit different. The books written by Frank Herbert were really good, although they get very strange. The ones written by his son, I can't recommend. He tries, but he doesn't have his father's story telling skill. I don't think he even has my story-telling skills and I wouldn't be so arrogant as to consider myself in Frank Herbert's league. I haven't actually read Hyperion.

I hope that helped.

Besides Cowboy Bebop, the sci-fi/cyberpunk anime I'd recommend would be Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Bakuretsu Tenshi, Bubblegum Crisis (as odd as the name is) Gankutsuo as a sci-fi take on a classic literary work & Psycho Pass.

If you're going to extend it to manga I would suggest Battle Angel as well. It does have a short OVA that's good, but the manga itself is much more involved.

Although, since you're a SOL fan you might like something like Aria, which is a SOL series with sci-fi elements.

If you need any more sci-fi recomendatorios, anime or otherwise, I'll do what I can.

ktulu007 Oct 22, 2016 1:49 PM

That's a fair perspective. It certainly looks better than the silent film from the 20s that inspired it. I just didn't think having good artwork was enough to excuse the story problems or bland characters.
Admittedly, it might have been easier to excuse those issues and just enjoy the spectacle had I not been sober when I'd watched it.

You're welcome and thank you. I'm glad that you enjoy my reviews.
