Title: Recommendation thread, brace for shitstorm and lolpinions.
Post by: Nachmanun on August 18, 2010, 11:28:09 pm
Disclaimer: This thread is for us hideous Japanophiles (read: Ma$ter race) who feel like sharing our wisdom on great shit to watch/read. We don't give a fuck about your opinion and we will disregard it because we're (I'm) elitist bastards and we think your opinion sucks anyway. For you who don't know who the Japanophiles are then we have hidden our powerlevel well, but for clarification it's;

Yours truly (that's me you retards)
Kawe
Sparrowhawk
and Grishnag as an exception. He doesn't need to hide his powerlevel since he doesn't go outside anyways.

We are the overlords of this thread and our lolpinions are absolute.

(http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t305/bjrrrn/plrbrburghr.png)

There, now we got that out of the way, I'll also break down animus/mangos into different categories and hopefully the thread will evolve somewhat in a timely fashion whenever I feel like actually updating it.

The categories I can think of from the top of my head is Moeblobs, Classics, Seinen (ma$ter category), Shounen and artsy fartsy shit. Also Comedy, but Japanese comedy is wierd as fuck and I'm pretty sure that everyone will have a different view on our cousins in west and their humour (or lack thereof).

Either way, let's get cracking.

Classics
Stuff you should have seen already, but if you haven't it's fine as long as you fucking do it. (note: classics does not mean the entrylevel animus, but the ones who are considered masterpieces of their time and/or shit we just happen to find fitting)

Fist of the North Star (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fist_of_the_North_Star)
Grave of the Fireflies (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grave_of_the_Fireflies)
Akira (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akira_%28film%29)
Neon Genesis Evangelion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neon_Genesis_Evangelion_%28anime%29)
Ghost in the Shell (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_in_the_Shell_%28film%29)
Cowboy Bebop (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowboy_bebop)
Golden Boy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Boy_%28manga%29)
 Death Note (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_note)
Full Metal Alchemist (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_metal_alchemist)

Seinen
Aimed at males around 18-30 (read; tits and guts[not always, but alot and it's glorious] and beards) and bestest genre.

Mushishi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mushishi) slow paced as fuck, but it's glorious. Really ace series.
Eureka 7 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eureka_7)
Planetes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetes)
Kaiba (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaiba) unusual artstyle, but pretty fucking ace.
Ooh, fuck, Strike Witches!
(http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t305/bjrrrn/strikewitches.jpg)
Just watch it.

Moeblobs

K-on! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-On!) (technically a seinen, but it's still a god damn moeblob and that is that.
Lucky Star (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucky_Star_%28manga%29)
Working! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working!) is poplar as fuck.

Romance

Spice and Wolf (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spice_and_wolf) - I guess this goes here? Fucking japs and their silly genres.
Toradora (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toradora)ble. Protip, at the last fucking episode, watch after the fucking credits, don't do what I did and assume the fucking series just ended. Do it.
 Kimi ni Todoke (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kimi_ni_Todoke), I've only read this and I haven't watched it. But the mango is great and even one some award iirc~

Shounen

 Prince of Tennis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_of_tennis)
 Shaman King (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaman_king)

Special Shounen tier; shit that is acceptable to read but god horrible to watch:
Naruto (I don't care that you liked it, your opinion sucks)
Bleach (same as above, bleach sucks)

And most definately One Piece. Fucking glorious Manga.


Comedy, skits.

Gintama (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gintama)
Azumanga Daioh (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azumanga_daioh)

Cba with more animus at the time, so I'll get onto my favourite part!

MANGA!

Gonna roughly divide these into genres atm, I'm tired and bored.

FUCK YEAH TIER
Shit that makes you go FUCK YEAH!

One Piece
Berserk
Shin Angyo Yoshi
Vinland Saga
Parasyte
GTO (Great Teacher Onizuka)
Veritas
Fairy Tail
Gantz (has tits, guts, blood, guts, tits, tears, semen, tits, a boring loli that swallows, tits, blood, tears, snot, excrements, genitals, pubes, blood and tits and a busty Lara Croft that fucks highschool nerds and then drives them around in her car)
Masturbator Master Kurosawa
Ichi the Killer
Needless

and that's all I can think of now. Feel free to contribute if your opinion matters.

Yes thank you for explaining the god obvious joke. Water is wet, farts smell, etc.

YES.
At this point you're most likely wonder WHERE THE FUCK DO I DOWNLOAD MY ANIMUS?
Well, first of all, sign up to Bakabt.com, just do it. I didn't know of it until Kawe nagged (or well... not really) that I should and voila, how glorious it is.

www.bakabt.com

Another great one that requires you not to be handicapped when searching is nyaatorrents, great for new series, shit for old as they sortof suffer from the ALL LEECH NO SEED syndrome from time to time (which bakabt doesn't).

www.nyaatorrents.org

For you fellow faggots who actually like reading shit (like me and Harrowspork) these days you can either read them at www.mangafox.com or you can snoop around on www.mangaupdates.com and download it from there.

www.mangatoshokan.com is still alive, but it mainly displays korean Manwha these days.

Also Needless is worthy mention for FUCK YEAH part

Pick your poison. Headers are there to give you the idea of the main thrust of a series, as obviously most series fall under a bunch of categories and a few genres. Consider my tagging gospel at your own risk.

*edit
should note my definition of seinen - and that of most folk - doesn't really stick to nach's more specific definition of tits and guts. The 18-30 bit is pretty spot on though.

I know it's not done and way out of the "hotfactor" in lists but My neighbor toroto and Spirited away should be in the classics list for sure, untill then the lists you provided so far suck the man dick.  ;D

Btw, some of those title are just lmao.

Prince of tennis
Spice and wolf

But "domo arigato" for providing me with some nice overview of (hopefully  ;)) some "chien-sjietsoe" anime stuff. 6 up to 10 stories of fully packed japanese anime shops scared the shit out of me, i just didn't know where to search and watch, beside the factor (as Gris already mentioned) 99% was japanese only.  :)

Anyway, ojasoemie nasaj!

Fact: Torrenting is the best.

Rapidshare is OK when you need to get hold of a oneshot or something. You can also do the IRC download thing, but I've tried it and it's really annoying and silly.

Protip: Get uTorrent, download animus, ???
PROFIT.

It is hard to download torrents when you can have DC++ downloading at 11 MB/s :(

Post by: Kawe / Dave on August 19, 2010, 03:05:45 pm
Woah, haven't used DC++ in forever. I remember it being pretty good, but I think most groups release first via XDCC and torrent before anything else (could be wrong...). It's also definitely a lot more time spent doing setup and odds and ends with DC++ though.

Post by: delling on August 19, 2010, 03:09:47 pm
I know a lot of DC hubs that get releases very close to scene release -- usually because the couriers/dumps are on fast connections... and thus join DC hubs :)

Annoying thing about torrents is that a lot of ISP's chokes when you connect to x amount of sources at the same time - thus choking your connection at times.

Post by: Morbid on August 19, 2010, 04:02:32 pm
They are Kawe :-X
The Aizukotetsu-kai clan from Kyoto, these were not the bosses but the workers  ;)

I was just walking around looking at the locals bbq-ing, taking photo's of them, but mostly them making photo's of me when the younger guy you see left on that photo came up to me and asked to join him and his "family" for some biru=beer and "eat". Alot of my rl friends have tatoo's, so someone comming up to you with tatoo's is nothing special, atleast not in most parts of Europe and for me. But ofc. i should have known better in Japan. (Also you can see on the second photo that there are no other groups sitting around them. The other side of the beach was packed.)

Straight away they pressed a cold beer and chickenwings in my hand and wanted to know where i was from etc. etc. So a couple of beers and chickenwings later i found out he was some kind of prospect who didn't had earned his mark yet, which is needed to be able to put the colors in his tatoo.
Shortly after that he started pulling out some of the shirts of those older men to show me how a complete proper Yakuza tatoo lookes like and told me i could make pictures.
So Morb started shooting pictures as fast as a minigun shoots bullets. :P

Never had i the feeling i should watch out, they where very polite and curious about how things go in Holland/Europe.
And they also, as good as they could, explained alot of Japanese culture etc. They didn't talked about the Yakuza part tbh, and it wouldn't be polite from me to start asking about it. (Maybe not very smart also)  

All in all one of my finest (social) moments i've had when i was there.

Anyway i'll stop now, since this is a post about anime, not about Morb's holiday adventures in Japan :)

for all you fagballs... wait im suprised nach hasnt even mentioned TT yet anyway here is a link
http://tokyotosho.info/ (http://tokyotosho.info/)
possibly the best site to get your manga/anime/hentai torrents

also i would like to recommend ga-rei zero to anyone its a supernatural anime
incase you are wondering yes there is a manga of it to but ga-rei zero is a prequel and better then the manga (the manga is pretty shit)

also i am ashamed that none of you have even mentioned Blame! yet which is a very good grimdark manga (think it falls under seinen  not sure though)

also some other manga i enjoy/enjoyed reading were
sankarea (also known as zombie saten) basicly a manga about a zombie of sorts
franken fran
also was gonna say ghost yomi... but seeing as that is the name /a/ uses and completely forgot the real name its pretty pointless to recommend it

edit: also K-on has been mentioned before BUT i just have to say it again cause last episode (episode 20 that is) was fucking brilliant and possibly the best episode i've seen this season (as a whole)
also here is a group picture of all of them

as i said in my previous post... thankfully i was browsing /a/ so yeah those 3 is what i was talking about
(http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/2502/yui2.jpg)
for... well cause i like it

anyway if kawe hasnt mentioned it before the following:
angel beats
fate/stay night (Rin Tohsaka and dat Zettai Ryouiki she gave me a new fetish by having that)
OH AND HOW COULD I HAVE FUCKING FORGOTTEN SO RA NO WO TO AND SAYONARA ZETSUBO SENSEI FUCK
it probably has one of my favorite seiyuu if the form of Yuu Kobayashi (she plays Rio in so ra no wo to and Kaere/Kaede Kimura in SZS respectively)
also for good measure the third season OAD opening

RINGO! MOGIRE! BEAM!
i should also mention Gundam 00 allthough the first season is much better then the second but the second has a awesome fight (actualy the first one does too) with doublellujah not his real name i forgot his real name or for that matter most of the casts real names except setsuna which technacly is a code name but stillin it
not that he does anything usefull for most of the series though
oh right should also mention gundam SEED and with that i should also mention that you should avoid gundam SEED destiny like the plague that show is so terrible it will drag everything even remotely attached to it to the ground

right right allmost forgot 2 good anime movies are:
The Girl who leaped through time
Summer Wars

incase you are wondering they are both produced by MADHOUSE which is one of the many anime studios out that (one of the better ones imo)

not mentioning any ghibli movies cause Spirited away should be one of the first anime movies you should have watched

Yeah, I didn't mention Angel Beats in the end; felt like it was a strong series when watching, then ended weakly and ever so hammily. So it's a little tougher to recommend. Though it definitely gets huge bonus points for logo graphic style and audio usage (more things everywhere should make use of piano). Another series that suffered a similar weak ending after setting up an interesting world was Pandora Hearts (alice in wonderland motifs all over the shop).

On the theme of k-on, I'm terribly sorry for this awful awful pun. KyoAni really knows how to create a warm feeling with its animation style, pretty reminiscent of ghibli in that respect.

Yah my sentiments exactly though the rest of the serie is quite good... just skip the last episode

kyoani are a bunch of dicks for making such a good episode (ep 20) and then putting such a huge tearjerker at the end... god damn that was pretty much the closest i got to crying in the last i dunno 10 years? anyway as i said before good episode is good

And torrents are hard yes ;p. My ISP squeezes down torrents for some reason. I can't get past 300kb/s. With newsleechers I get 12mb/s. Big difference, and I'm not dependable on leechers/seeders which is very annoying when downloading older files.

Oh and add Souleater to the list? I loved that show ^^

Older files aren't a problem if you visit a good trackers website. BakaBT's older torrents are all public and very heavily seeded too, for example.

If your ISP throttles P2P traffic, you should stop giving them your money if at all possible, and give it to someone else. Vote with your wallet.

Thank you for adding Black Lagoon, Afro Samurai and Samurai Champloo to the mix. Great Animes along with Cowboy Bebop in the first post!

bump cause i stickied this

also i forgot to mention Saki... it boils down to cute girls playing majhong and making math teachers collectivly turn in their grave

oh and it has a big yuri undertone

yuri undertone

Currently watching Aoi Hana.
Japan has no turbodykes, but it's cute how certain things like helping someone over the road/talking to them/sharing a meal = turning someone lesbian and fucking their brains out.

Fucking Japan.

WAT?
anyway just look at the 2 main characters in Saki and then look at every single fucking character thats not a guy (there are like 2 guys or something in total with lines in the anime) and tell me there isnt a yuri vibe coming off it

Yuri is fucking confusing, closest thing to turbodykes you get is tall slender girls with a voice that's deeper than usual girls. Where are the fat guylooking chicks with short hair? Wtflux.

In Aoi Hana everything has a deeply sexual undertone, it's hilariously retarded - but Jennie recommends it to all you closet dykes out there.

I second this, while not the absolute best anime I've ever seen I rly felt like Bones created a masterpiece, the entire show just felt so complete and at the same time so much fun to watch

ALSO

Where the F is Full Metal Panic in that list? I've seen all my fav animes been stated alrdy (i've seen about ~70% of the animes listed) but I am yet to see Full Metal Panic

while the serious seasons (1 and 3) are just so awesome to watch and Fumoffu is probably the most hilarious anime season I've ever seen

all i heard was bad things about the ending of soul eater COURAGE PUNCH and all that besides the fact that its based on a manga

atleast maka had a sweet voice that was hard to resist to fap to

oh yeah not sure if this has been mentioned but Casshern Sins is also a very good animu realy lovely if somewhat slow paced at the start
