plebeian-free korean slideshow thread

Assumption: you are an autistic weeaboo NEET and possibly also a homosexual lolicon.

What are you watching? What have you watched? What are your favorites? Which Strike Witch's butt would you sniff?

I'm currently watching Zipang, and also the second season of Gochuumon ha usagi desu ka?

I recently finished watching the LoGH gaden series. They give some nice insights into the past of Kircheis, who was basically just a decorative character in the first season of the main series, but I still prefer the way the series went after his death. The dynamic between him and Rhinehard reminds me of Achilles and Patroclus.
It's not strictly anime but I am also watching the live action adaptation of Akagi. The male lead playing Akagi is pretty cute, but half the fun of that adaptation is watching the guy playing Yasuoka fidgeting with the scenery while a supposedly life-and-death battle is going on.

Some of my favorite anime of all time are:
LoGH
Mushishi
Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei
Yuru Yuri
Tantei Opera Milky Holmes (first two seasons only, futari ha was shit, SHIT!)


And I would sniff Lucchini's butt. She is my favorite witch because she has cute tanned skin and because she takes it easy.

This is what I got when I asked RMS about his favorite anime. Truly a majestic creature.

Good idea for a thread.

The only show I feel like writing about is Space Brothers, because it seems like a boring, slice of life anime at first. This series is true anime valium though. No matter what stresses I go through in life, I can watch this show for the 2nd or 3rd time and my problems are gone, I feel like a good person (which I'm not), and I even feel inspired to succeed. A lot of recent animes are amazing but it's so rare that they invoke any human emotions. In short, Space Brothers is a detergent that washes the autism away.

Favorites:
Great Teacher Onizuka
Ghost in the Shell SAC/2nd Gig
Attack on Titan
Sword Art Online

Twelve Kingdoms
Space Brothers
Deadman Wonderland
Mushishi
Steins;gate

Some recent ones that could be favorites:

Good post. I've tried to finish GTO a couple times but it reminds me a bit of Catcher in the Rye where if you're not part of the extremely specific target audience of "angsty 16 year old suffering from first world problems" then it's just kind of trite and boring. Not that it's bad, I just missed my window to watch it and enjoy it to the fullest back when I fit in that demographic.

Jojo was really fun and I am looking forward to the new series coming in spring. Part 4 was my favorite part, back before Araki's art style turned from bara-fabulous to David Bowie fabulous.

Mushishi was amazing. It touches on themes and anxieties that are endemic to all humans regardless of time period, partially by avoiding being pinned down to any specific historical era except "some time in Edo period Japan". It uses the BGM and scenery shots very skillfully to make an atmosphere that is somehow both zenlike and tinged with melancholy at the same time. The problems the people Ginko encounters face are very sympathetic and "human" ones, despite mostly being caused by actual otherwordly creatures. When people tell me they doubt that anime can tell a complex and emotionally moving story I usually point them either to this one or Legend of the Galactic Heroes.

Most of the other things in your list I either had no particular strong opinion about or haven't watched yet. Pretty good list though.

Extra tidbit: I have cried while watching anime exactly twice, once at Reuenthal's death in LoGH and once at the Hidamari Sketch graduation OVA. Take it as you will.

Just to spite the inevitable dork whining about spoilers in a 30 year old show, here's a list from memory(I probably forgot some) of every important death in LoGH in chronological order:

1. Jean-Robert Lapp
2. Jessica Edwards
3. Kaiser Friedrich IV
4. Kircheis
5. Yang Wenli
6. Schenkopp, Bucock, and like half the rest of the FPA guys
7. Trunicht
8. Reuenthal
9. Rubinsky
10. Oberstein
11. Reinhard von Lohengramm

My favourite anime is nararto, is about power ninja boy who is also ramen chef and surprisingly wins fights over and over, even though he barely won the last fight and the new enemy is stronker.

Oh, and Mars of Destruction ofc.

This is a plebeian free thread, that means everyone but me get out ``please´´.

Gimme slime girl eromanga and I will leave.

The only anime I've watched was Zipang. Loved it, wish there were more animes about WW2-era Japan.
