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 !
Sword Art Online: Alicization + War of Underworld
Which prequel did you mean? So I’ve watched the main season of SAO back when it’s aired, but I don’t think it’s for me (too much romance going on story-wise) so I dropped it. Is this the prequel you mean?
I liked the 2nd season but it’s Gun-Gale. So I’ve watched those and it’s SAO Gun-Gale spin-off. I already watched the rest of your suggestions’.
I’ve watched FMP but not the other two and just to make sure, is this the one you mean :
I’ll go check both out, iirc there a new Gate coming out, but it’s a new timeline of something not related to this one, is that right or am I thinking of a different series?
Thank you for the suggestion !
Right, I didn’t list all the series I’ve watched cuz that just insane lol but I’ve watched the two IBO season. I really want to watch the Urdr-Hunt and the other short movie but idk if it’s available anywhere beside just getting the BD.
Valkyria Chronicles
Oh, didn’t know this has adaptation, I think I played one of their entry. Thank you !
“You need to buy more shovels !” shout the shovel maker.
This is just silly, but I’ll chime in I guess.
I’m guessing you only ever deal with public trackers om the torrent sode of things.
Since I’m on private trackers (someone with usenet subs probably feel the same) the quality and moderation is far better than the streaming sites.
Also, I’m off the legit streaming sites like Netflix because I’m tired of them shoving things I do not care.
Setting it up the first time is a hassle but nowadays, I’ll just open up my Seer instance and that’s it. This inclide movies, shows, and anime. I don’t hoard.
I know it’s available cuz there will be a notification for it, most just a few hours after the broadcast at most.
I just open JF and watch it, idk what’s more convenient than that.
I don’t count since I do not care about stats. But my whole family use it. Shows/movie for my parents, k-drama/anime for me and sibling.
Interesting.
As a woman, I can walk around the city without covering my hair and not be bothered by anyone.
Is this true in general? Is Mecca (or Medina for that matter) included?
I never been there, but my folks have for Hajj. You can probably guess the country, we have the largest Muslim by population.
So my anecdote for Saudi generally refer to those two particular place.
I didn’t see Togou’s Dad being Buchi’s savior coming lol.
Will this ever get another season? I think I need more.
