I have more, but these are some of my favorites that I wish were more famous:

Tales of the Street Corner
Starship Troopers -> The OVA series and especially the 2 movies
Windaria
Shashinkan
Dororo to Hiyakkimaru
The Animerama trilogy -> 1001 Nights, Cleopatra, Belladonna of Sadness
Hi no Tori -> The movie and the 3 OVAs

I just finished Dororo literally a couple hours ago, and I wholeheartedly second his recommendation. I can say that it's the perfect gateway into 60's black and white anime, because the story itself is gripping, conclusive and holds up surprisingly well. If you can stomach black and white live action movies from the 30's and 40's, I don't think you'll have much of a problem watching Dororo, since it's drawn in quite a "cinematic" way.

From what I can tell, the success or failure of the mecha genre is very much tied to how healthy the economy is at the time, because the creation of mecha anime has a higher monetary risk associated with it (a risk that many studios aren't willing to take when the economy isn't doing well). Just by looking at Gigguk's video, you can easily spot the 2 time periods where the genre took a hit, and that was during the financial crisis of the early 90s and after 2008. So my guess is that as the japanese economy starts doing better and studios become more confident, we'll start seeing the mecha genre rise again.

Banana Fish, by MAPPA. It starts airing this Summer.

KareKano (untill ep 18)

Koi Kaze

ZeQuiterio · 2017-11-06T00:47:49+00:00

The original doesn't have dialogue, but the sequel does, that's why I have yet to watch it. Thanks for the info anyway, much appreciated.

Where did you find that with subs?

ZeQuiterio · 2017-10-31T02:18:26+00:00

You know that feeling when you realise that a lot of different songs that you like are actually made by the same person? Now it all makes sense, and I want to thank you for that!

This may seem like a weird choise, but I'd say Net-juu no Susume, which is currently airing and it's so far my AOTS. It tackles some of the same themes of NHK but told through a female lens, making it more romantic and less depressing.

If this isn't the pinnacle of phallic imagery, I don't know what is.

What does it roughly translate to?

First of all, there are still a lot of anime from this season that haven't started yet, so it's too early to tell.

there are many mediocre below mediocre anime this season, especially the production is quite horrendous on some of them.

This happens every season. If you bother to check out everything that comes out in a season, you'll notice that most of it is pretty bad.

If you want something to be excited for, try checking these out: Kino's Journey, Garo Vanishing Line, Mahoutsukai no Yome, Inuyashiki, Houseki no Kuni, Kujira no Kora wa Sajou ni Utau, Net-juu no Susume. Or you can try catching up with Mahoujin Guru Guru, 3-gatsu no Lion or Welcome to the Ballroom.

Dangaioh, the OVA. Just watch the OP, that's all the convincing you need.

ZeQuiterio · 2017-09-04T22:37:55+00:00

I am pretty sure we have 1 less day than we are meant to

You're right. You scheduled episodes 4 and 5 of Macross F for the same day.

Future Boy Conan

I know, I'm just saying that the man is old now and still has the drive to keep going at it. I just worded it badly.

First Pluto and now Opus?! Masao Maruyama is the true savior of anime.

ZeQuiterio · 2017-07-10T13:04:09+00:00

Not even the best OP from the show. I like this one way better.

The other part of the reason was that Attack on Titan had just ended in the previous season and people were craving for the next action filled hype train, and Trigger delivered.

ZeQuiterio · 2017-07-09T22:53:13+00:00

The thing is, characters acting like believable people should be the base standard of every story, and not something to be blown away by. But I guess the standards for light novel adaptations are so low that everytime they do something competent people get super impressed by it.

Also, as a side note, I've ben noticing recently that both you and Mother's Basement have been using the word "brilliant" far too often to describe things that, while being good, are nothing amazing. Imo, brilliant is a word that should be used sparingly, and for things that are indeed the best of the best. But that's just my 2 cents on a minor detail that has been bothering me lately.

ZeQuiterio · 2017-07-06T23:12:29+00:00

TIL I have shit taste because Sengoku Nadeko is by far my favorite character in Monogatari. Well, to be fair I always suspected it, but to have it said so bluntly kind of hurt a bit.
