Re: Anime/Manga Discussion Thread

Attack on Titan is definitely good. There is a lot of shock value in that first episode, but there is actually a pretty interesting world there as you learn more.


Deathnote is solid from that psychological thriller perspective. If you like that then you might also like Code Geass. Classroom of the elite is another, though a bit less serious. All of those series have the common theme of character's trying to constantly one up others from behind the scenes.


One other general recommendation is Kino's Journey - The Beautiful World. It's very philosophical but in a way that is easy to watch.. There are 2 versions, both excellent, the newer one (from around 2017) is probably the easier watch though. It's a little hard to describe succinctly, but it's about this young character, Kino, who travels the world visiting different countries. Each country has a different theme, themes that allow for certain commentary on humanity. There are several great taglines from the show/novels, but probably the most apt one is "The world is not beautiful. Therefore it is".

One Punch Man is amazing. On premise alone I did not think that I would like it, but it's hilarious.


86 (Eighty-Six) is a phenomenal anime and currently on crunchy roll (no subscription required). Most of what has been produced the last couple years has been some combination of trashy harem or generic issekai. Eight-Six feels much more like older anime with real character development, world building, and it really pulls at emotions. It's a mecha anime that seems to be very much an homage to old Gundam style shows that were very character focused in a very unkind world. I can't recommend this show enough.

Re: Anime/Manga Discussion Thread

One Punch Man is incredible, I agree. However, now I don't have much time to watch manga because I have to write a lot of research at the university. Only by turning to history can one fully appreciate the great influence of photography on the development of modern culture, science, and technology. With the help of historical photos, we now get information and ideas about the events of that time. For example, in my history department, there are many artifacts and photos from which we draw knowledge. However, when I received a written assignment about the Great Depression, the photos, and information I possessed were not enough to complete it. That's when I came in handy with such a resource as https://samplius.com/free-essay-exam...at-depression/ - where I found and purchased the essay examples. This service knows about all rules of writing an essay and it will be faster than doing it yourself. I'm sure it will be useful to students.

The summer season is wrapping up.

Classroom of the elite season 2 started off a bit slow, but the last few episodes finished it off strong.

Was debating internally on where to post this, maybe it even deserves its own thread. Many of us (outside of this thread, that is) might be more familiar with his work in Chrono Trigger and the Dragon Quest series, but either way he has likely touched the lives of many people on this board.

Absolutely shocking and heartbreaking. RIP.

Hit me like a ton of bricks. So much of me getting into anime and manga growing up is owed to him. Not just Dragon Ball, but Dragon Quest as you mentioned. His impact and the cultural legacy he created, not just in Japan, but worldwide will always be in memory to him.



RIP.
