Wow FLCL was really popular back in the day, I'm surprised you haven't seen it yet. I fucking love Yoshiaki Kawajiri and all his stuff. I feel like hes extremely underrated. Especially his more acclaimed works like Ninja Scroll and Vampire Hunter D. He had a bunch of projects that ended up getting put on the back burner like a new Ninja Scroll and a new Vampire Hunter D series. I feel like he doesn't really have the same kind of power that he used to at Madhouse, even though hes the only founder thats left. They did end up making a teaser trailer for the Ninja Scroll sequel, but as far as I know the project has been shelved.
Anyway yeah Piano no Mori seems interesting, I remember watching the movie, but FMP is definitely the one I'm most looking forward to... its been years since I saw the original and I'm really curious about how the story ends. Also really need another season of Gundam Thunderbolt... hopefully that comes out soon. The last episode of Origin should be coming out soon too. Also if you follow the Bersek manga something big just happened... like fans have been waiting 20+ yrs for it big. I haven't been so excited reading a Berserk chapter since I was in my teens lol.
NOW I'M FUCKING HYPED (just saw the announcement)
I think that the shitty anime is even more magnified now, because there is more anime coming out now than ever and it is all available to us in subbed form. Usually the shitty anime doesn't even get subbed, because fansubbers don't give a fuck about them, but with networks like crunchyroll and netflix bidding on anime to license they are sometimes fighting over scraps on the off chance it might be even slightly good lol. I think like all good things, only time will tell what anime gets forgotten and what is still talked about... I don't think this is always good, because I feel like a lot of good shows get overlooked, but in general I think its a good concept. I don't think there will ever be a time more "most" anime is good, but I'm still consecutively finding anime I enjoy every season and year.
Yeah next anime season looks pretty amazing, especially for sequels. I'm looking forward to a LOT of stuff... especially shows that I haven't seen in a long time like Full Metal Panic, a new Lupin III and Fist of the North Star series. A Cutie Honey reboot, A new Persona anime, new Steins;Gate... yeah just a lot of potentially amazing stuff. Probably one of the best seasons in a long time and it seems to have a lot of variety for different types of anime fans too.
Yeah I think a lot of people when they first get into anime they think everything is so great and its so different, when it truth its just as bad as most mainstream western shows, just a different type of bad. Mediums are all the same in that only a small percent... I'd say maybe 10-20% of it as actually really good and the rest can be easily ignored. So far the shows I'm watching so far are pretty good... I saw the first ep of Gancrest Senki... I feel like the interactions between the characters were fun and a little more interesting than usual... but the visuals were really lacking and the world was kind of boring and generic.
Having a little bit of info might help, but honestly I don't think you need it. Gundam is just one of those things that is ingrained into the anime culture. The originals are good though. I would recommend the compilation movies since they condense a lot of information and cut out a lot of the meandering and slice of life scenes. The UC storyline is definitely the most interesting in Gundam though. Also Gundam the Origin is a great OVA and it takes place before the original series.
Yeah the seasonal stuff can get really tedious. I still watch like maybe 3 or 4 things though that are to my liking. Recently I really liked Devilman Crybaby and the new Junji Ito anime that just came out. For last season I thought Inuyashiki was pretty great too. As for this one, definitely check out Devilman and Junji Ito and also the Basalisk sequel might be good if you're into battle royale anime... with ninjas lol. Also if you haven't seen in yet definitely check out both seasons of Gundam Thunderbolt. IMO the best gundam show in a long time and don't worry you don't really need to be familiar with the franchise to enjoy it. It's pretty much a war drama with giant robots lol. Also both season of Rakugo were one of the best things I've seen in a long time. I'll have to check out maybe 3 or 4 more of the seasonal anime... but tbh I don't think there is much I'd enjoy.
