Astolfo Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Manga Suggestion:Iron KnightA disease turning people into monstrous beings called Goblins are ravaging and killing off humanity, but one boy stands against them. However, he's not quite entirely human either...This manga is post-apocalyptic/shounen, and has lots of action and death and can be quite mature at some points, however, the art is great in my opinion and it's quite a good read.

Maeriberii Haan Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Uchuu Kyoudai - Seinen, Drama Focusing on the dreams of two brothers in becoming an astronaut, and the hurdles they faced to get to that point. The conflict and everything is portrayed realistically. Great main characters, and the story takes a great length to characterize them and their growth. Honestly pretty damn inspirational in a non-preachy or pretentious way. Apo is so goddamn cute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swelterrier Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 More info on Gokudo Gokudo If you love watching jerks getting stuff, but not as expected, there's one pro for you! 26 Episodes! *i have never watched it, :l* Gokudo gets turned into a girl, because TV Tokyo. Gokudo fights evil with a sword that can deal menacing damage. Gokudo meets Prince Niari, who, ironically, is a better womanizer. They're not alone too! Rubette La Lette is there to help too! At the start, Gokudo steals a stone, a genie named Djinn popped out! Djinn started to talk, and Gokudo (Yuccot Kikansky) started to get annoyed. And, at last, there came The Bok Choy Sisters! I crammed as much as there could be :l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maeriberii Haan Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 I think I'll recommend both. The anime's a really good adaptation of the manga, imo. THough to classify it better, I think I'll recommend the manga mainly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That reminds me, I think I'll put the English name in the OP. I have no idea how close it is to the source, but even if it isn't at all, it does show what it was based on (and is just a subtitle, not a change in name).

Aix Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Oh, I started reading a very underrated manga. Bokura no Kiseki (from Aix) - School Life, Mystery, Drama, Fantasy Interesting premise of people reincarnated to our world from a fantasy one Well-developed ideas involving past lives and obligations Good characters who develop as they question their own identities.

I'll check it out. I've heard good things about it. I don't know if Gantz is considered underrated; I really liked it. It was super disturbing though. A few things really weren't right in that series, but it was defintely worth buying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johan Liebert Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Gantz (the anime) is underrated, in my opinion. But I see exactly why most people wouldn't like it. I haven't had the pleasure of reading the manga yet. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susie Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 anyone else here seen Kaiba? its a sci-fi story set in a world where people can switch their own bodies, its got really good animation and lots of unique and very surreal visuals. if you want an anime show thats really out there with its style and ideas then this one is great. ive seen a bit out of Zambot 3 and its a decent mecha show with a very dark setting, the worst parts about it are the very bad and dated animation as well as the main character who can be pretty annoying at first, though other than that its an okay show. also it gave Gurren Lagann a lot of influence Jewelpet is also worth mentioning, very fun and cutesy with colorful characters, the best Jewelpet series is Sunshine in my opinion, loads of great humor in there, a pretty fun show based upon Sanrio toys so dont expect anything groundbreaking here, just cute cartoon animals with their human counterparts Night on the Galactic Railroad is incredible for those who like slow moving films with beautiful and surreal visuals, it might be a bit difficult for some people to understand the ending though, but its still definitely 100% worth watching im not too sure how well known it is but i never really see too many people talk about Aku No Hana which is a shame because its really damn amazing, a very deep and psychological romance with some really unique animation (which personally i find adds more to the atmosphere of the show), i think its more on the lines of a show thats got a vocal minority since there are people who have watched it and love it to high hell, but i personally still think its worth the mention here. Tamala 2010 is another anime movie that i feel is really underrated, the reactions on it are very mixed so dont go into this movie unless you want an extremely high dosage of experimental and postmodern visuals. some complain that the plotline is too uncohesive but if youre able to dig deeper and pay attention to certain tidbits then there is a followable narrative there, its just not so easy to notice it. Cat Soup is one that id like to mention too, its considered to be a hidden gem for a really good reason, very surreal and symbolic with little to no dialogue though its only a short film so you dont need to worry about losing your patience too much Ringing Bell is another amazing anime movie that id like to mention. its a childrens film featuring a lamb as the main character but its a very philosophical film that teaches children a lesson that they may not fully understand until theyre older. its done by Sanrio and its undoubtedly the darkes and most mature out of all their works and is possibly my favorite thing theyve done. ill add more later when i think of them considering how im kind of a bit of a hipster when it comes down to anime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maeriberii Haan Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 I honestly prefer MAR's manga over the anime, tbh. Though iirc the anime was pretty good, yet got undeservedly bashed overseas back then. Speaking of... Flames of Recca (Manga) - Action, Adventure, Fantasy, ComedyMain character is a high-schooler roped in to a shonen-styled team tournament with some of his friends, utilizing artifacts called Madogu to fight. While at first it was pretty much a YuYu Hakusho follower, it develops its own identity after the first tournament arc, however.Great battle scenes and quite the fast pacing for things, coupled with interesting characters in both sides of the fence makes up for its less than good start (the art also improves a lot from where it started).Can get pretty gory at times, among other things. Also, this is made by the same person that made MAR (this has MAR's humor but is considerably darker than it).Anime is meh. This should count, no?

Shradow Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 The anime and manga were mostly the same, weren't they? I'm sure there's some minor stuff but the only significant difference I knew was how they handled the ending, though they still reached the same conclusion iirc.

Those tend to get bashed a lot for being very mediocre, and for most of them it actually seems like it's at least somewhat warranted. But what do I do about something that I've actually heard about a few times, without hearing anything bad about it? That would be the case for this.

I need to start watched it subbed. I was thinking once I finish Zettai Karen Children, so I can keep the synergy going, if you know what I mean. This should count, no?I think so. It doesn't have a dub that never finished (not to mention you're straight up calling the anime version meh), but it also doesn't even have a dub, so I still don't think it's as known as even MÄR.
