I’m not particularly into anime, I like it just as much as live action shows or other types of animation. Having said that, I feel like watching some and I’m not sure what to pick.
Here’s a list of other anime shows I’ve watched/manga and novels I’ve read, so you can better judge what to recommend. ( would greatly appreciate the story to be completed, I hate waiting years for closure) :
Full Metal Alchemist, Naruto : both great stories, I’ve read the mangas and loved them. They wouldn’t be a priority to watch because I already read them.
Attack on Titan: started with the anime, it was great, switched to the manga, got extremely disappointed with the story development and its ending. It felt a bit like nonsense for me.
Dragon Ball/Z : probably my favourite, I’ve rewatched it recently. I don’t like GT and Super.
Overlord: I’ve read good part of the novel and manga. I’m liking it so far
JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: please No thanks. Not for me.
Death Note: loved the first arc, not a fan of the ending but no hate for it unlike with AOT.
I also recall Escaflowne and Inuyasha, they were alright but not something I’ve loved or hated. Cowboy Bebop also in this category, excellent visually and great OST but the story wasn’t as gripping.
Other than that… Feel free to suggest any other titles! Extra thanks if you are specific about any versions and why is the show so great.
TIA
The original Bubblegum Crisis of course.
Never heard of this show before. Quick search tells me the original is the 1987 version? In few words, what makes it so good?
Renegade industrial robots, cute kickass heroines, an evil megacorp … you know, stuff.
Bubblegum Crisis is also where a lot of inspiration for a lot of cyberpunk films around that time came from. That, and Ghost in the Shell heavily influenced the cyberpunk genre. I’ve not seen Bubblegum Crisis, but the original GitS (as well as Stand Alone Complex) are also fantastic.
Ohh I see. One of those shows that fly under the radar of the masses but every other show rips off of, like Akira? I liked GiTS, I’ll keep the other recs in mind
I wouldn’t exactly call it under the radar, they made 3 series, a reboot (2042) and a spinoff (AD Police). But it was very popular because of the high quality animation, good plot and great soundtrack.
