Are there any animes or TV shows you can't stop recommending?

For anime, Ghost in the Shell. My favorite is the Stand Alone Complex series.

For TV show, Fringe. It's a sci-fi show taking place in the modern world.

For movie, Red Lights. It's about a group that disproves paranormal/super natural events. I recommend it because it's not well known.

Psych. All time favorite show.

[–] iMastari@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Alchemy of Souls on Netflix. A mix of Kung Fu Theater, a comedy, a love story, and a horror all rolled into one great story. It ran two seasons and each episode is over an hour long. 10/10

Monster. One of the best anime series I've ever seen.

[–] kitnaht@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (3 children)

I tried. I tried so hard. Attempted 3x to watch this. First time I got 5 episodes in. Second time I got 12 episodes in. Third time I got 16 episodes in.

Each time, I tried so hard to continue going. I'm sure it was great when it was released, but holy shit it was such a SLOG.

Nichijou, Higurashi, Oregairu, Steins;Gate, SAO (season 1), Clannad, Naruto, Fruits Basket (?), Death Note, A Silent Voice, Ghibli Studio animes,

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

I like watching Trigun, Clannad, Blood+ but I also really reccomend people read some Manga:

  • Tank Chair by Yashiro Manabu

  • Elfen Leid by Okamoto Lynn (also has an anime, but different endings)

  • Moto Shogun no Undead Knight by Shuko and Necoco

  • Dandadan by Yukinobu Tatsu (manga announced)

  • You Will Hear the Voice of the Dead by Uguiso Sachiko

  • Dai Dark by Q Hayashida

@Shkshkshk @asklemmy
There's a ton of anime that I *might* recommend to different people, depending on individual preferences and tastes:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JZR7jtU3q-LTqoWaGY-7YurPpvLpTIY0ybScvA1L0GQ/edit?usp=drivesdk

But the one that I come closest to recommending everyone, without qualification, would be:

"Keep Your Hands off Eizouken"

It's basically a love letter to:

* joys and challenges in the process of creative collaboration
* how each success begets further goals
* how reflecting on details and oddities of the world adds to art

Frieren for anime - It has everything I love about anime.
MASH for TV show (version without laugh tracks) - Kind of old, but even now, the humor is not outdated.

[–] JonnyRobbie@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

It's been a few years that I've learned that MASH had laugh track. It's so weird. I never saw mash with laugh track and not even a morbid curiosity makes me want to try that.

Pantheon.

Really thoughtful and smart sci-fi animation. Don't want to spoil it so I'll be vague, it has the most realistic depiction of modern tech and how people interact with it than any other show I've seen. Really great commentary on big tech corporations and even a bit of geopolitics. Super ambitious yet it somehow pulls it off.

There is also a scene that still gives me nightmares (not even joking, I still dream about that shit) which is more than any horror movies or shows have done for me. Anyone who has watched it knows exactly what scene I'm talking about.

Jellyfish can't swim at night

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Everybody kind of slept on it but I really like AppleTV's See. Really unfortunate name for a pretty interesting premise, and the fight scenes are brutal and very well shot.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Looked pretty cool but it'd feel like cheating if I didn't finish Frontier first

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Both are good Momoa vehicles but the worldbuilding and battle sequences from See are next level. The fact that they had to figure out how to do warfare with a completely blind army is a great example of how embracing constraints can result in amazing work.

The Leftovers. Still think of some scenes all the time.
