But, yeah, I get your drift, JohnnyBme. Honestly, watch Ashita no Joe and something from the World Masterpiece Theater. I've done neither and that's why I'm a pleb. Not even buying paintings by Pollock or Klimt can cure me of my plebiness. Yes we are all plebians. I do not have my own private gallery of authentic collected art-works. Life is so hard being uncultured. I can't possibly realize the true significance of such artworks and appreciate their influence on my temperament. I shall now retreat into sarcasm cause if I consolate in anything else I will become susceptible to the pathological ways of the pleb. Thankyou Ducat for enlightening me. |

Um, here's some random shows: - Hunter X Hunter (2011) - Zegapain - Ghost in the Shell SAC - Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann - Cowboy Bebop - Eureka 7 - Mobile Suit Gundam I have no way to tell what you like, so some of the recommendations are based on stuff you've seen that you may want to see more stuff like (Kill La Kill and Gurren Lagann, Bebop and Champloo and so on). |

| Anything like Black Blizzard? I don't mean Gekiga or its themes (although something with its theme would be good too) but in how it's done. Basically i want short stories, not one-shot short but 1-3 volumes long. Kinda like the length of Solanin and shit. |
| Sure, give me something |

| Some people don't like it because the plot is deliberately obscured, there's a massive tonal shift in the middle, and the main character gets knocked down to about where he started at the end. But unless you really think you're going to be one of those people who hates every second of it, I would say it's worth watching just to see the best action scenes alone. And a lot of people love the whole show anyway, so it's not taking too much of a gamble. I would skip the last two episodes and watch End of Evangelion instead, though. |

| ^thx @jodyqt after i finish kono azora and virus buster serge i think i'll start with paranoia agent and texhnolyze. i laready started tatami galaxy but i wasn't very fond of the first episode due to the weird artstyle, but i'll give it a second chance |

| I might ask for a bit of consulting since... why not (finding something worth the watch is always great): If my favourite shows are all of those I rated above 8, should I prioritize anything in my p2w? Or, given the scenario, am I missing something relevant in there? Thanks in advance ;D |

soulhackers said: Indeed I already had spotted the majority of those, with the exceptions of Detroit Metal City (I was kinda reluctant to add this when I first watched it, now that you named it it might be the third or the fourth time I'm in the indecisive spot) and Mugen no Ryvius, that goes to my p2w.

| Aside from Mugi's recommendations. The closest thing I can think of to the quality of LoGH politically speaking are: Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex + 2nd Gig Taiyou no Kiba Dagram Aoki Ryuusei SPT Layzner (First arc only) Rose of Versailles None of these though undertake the same degree of attention to detail nor are they as ambitious. |

| Guys, can you recommend some good/cool/must see/classic OVA's from 80's and 90's ? Maybe something like Roujin Z. It was fun. |

 |
| Can you recommend me a short series to watch as well? |
| I'd like a recommendation for a series (6 episodes or less), OVA, or a movie to watch. Preferably a lesser known, older work. Even if it's somewhat flawed that's fine too but it has to solid overall. It can't be on my list. Fire away!!! :) |
| Alright. I'm about 50 chapters from concluding my Tezuka marathon. It's been fun but sadly, it's drawing a close. I'll probably do a Tezuka marathon part II some other time to read works like Ayako and Hi no Tori. I'll probably do it when scans for the last two volumes of Hinako no Ki come out. Anyway, does anyone have a bunch of manga to recommend me? Preferably under 5 volumes but if you think there's a 7-8 volume work that's really that good, then I'll probably get to it to. I'd be better if it's not something from my Reading or Plan to Read list as I'll get to those in time (have to read Drifting Life asap anyway.) Thanks a bunch to anyone and everyone who hits me up. :D |
| Any recommendations for someone who thinks he's an elitist, but in reality he probably has garbage tastes (read: me)? I don't think I've fully updated the list, but it should be enough to get a grip. |
| could you guys give me any recommendations preferably shorter series as I don't get much time due to work |
Jeanptg said: Someone give me a recommendation pls. I need something good right now. I'd say Kino no Tabi. |

Jeanptg said: Someone give me a recommendation pls. I need something good right now.

I haven't read any manga yet tbh, based on my anime list what do you think I could start with, given the occasion?  |
|
Lordwen said: I haven't read any manga yet tbh, based on my anime list what do you think I could start with, given the occasion? Aaaah~ What a nice question. Vinland Saga, Vagabond, Hoshi no Samidare, Otoyemegatari, Onanie Master Kurosawa, and Subarashii Seikai are all good manga to start with. Later on, if the feel to read really grows on you, check out Planetes, Ran and the Ashen World, 20th Century Boys, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Kakukaku Shikajika, Oyasumi Punpun, Solanin, Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou, Homonculus, Eden: It's an Endless World, Children of the Sea, Blame!, and Akira. From then on, it'll really be up to you searching around for the things you gravitate to. I'd also suggest reading A Drifting Life later on to get a glimpse of the history of manga. Tezuka works like Adolf and Buddha are good too. |
| do you want manga you haven't seen the anime adaptation or do you don't mind watching the adaptation? what genres do you to initiate? for starters i'd suggest usagi drop manga (one of the most unpredictable endings ever), slam dunk ( read teh last chapter with the anime second opening as the soundtrack for maximum feels) and another ( the adaptation was few points below the manga, but it's not that great) depending on which genre you prefer i can narrow down some choices for you |

Lordwen said: I haven't read any manga yet tbh, based on my anime list what do you think I could start with, given the occasion? Depends what you like. Just a few out of my list: If you like some good dark fantasy with great art then Berserk If you like some epic viking adventure then Vinland Saga If you like some good psychological manga that deals with human analysis then Homunculus. If you like something calm with subtle storytelling and minimal dialogue then YKK. If you want a good story about coming of age with melanholical feeling, realistic characters then Oyasumi Punpun (or something other from Asano Inio - like Solanin) If you want a timeless classic with extraordinary writting and great character development then Ashita no Joe. If you want something more ecchi with a lot of kinky stuff and funny moments then Prison School. |

|
| I know it's obscure (yeah, nobody cares about it anymore), but there exist something called Manga E-list. As you haven't specified anything and seem to be looking for good manga in general, it should cover you for a while.

| I mentioned the Manga E-list because plenty of what has been recommended, especially Ducat's list of excellent titles, is already there. Lordwen said: And obviously the anime'd been more interesting. I had Despera (what an awfully fitting name) on my ptw list for years until MAL finally removed it entirely. A moment of silence for the anime that was never meant to be. |
