It requires you to be completely worthless and pathetic before you can relate to it.

I still like it because it deconstructs anime, which I generally dislike.

Most of the stuff I'd recommend has already been recommended, so I'll just throw in

Anything by Studio Ghibli (most notably Princess Mononoke & Grave of the Fireflies).

Higurashi (the first half of the series will seem like a massive clusterfuck of fear and gore but it all makes perfect sense in the end).

>>23320706

.>>23320842
See, there's the problem. You listened to hype.
When it comes to anime, it's better to watch it without the hype in mind, and make your own opinions.
In my experience, Evangelion was an amazing show made with one of the shittiest budgets I've ever heard of.

>>23320826
to be fair, Index was shit because the novels were great. It's an equivalent exchange. You can't have great source material AND adaptations. That's just silly.

May I also recommend Kara No Kyoukai?

Oh my god. Your tastes are so shitty. It's strange, because there is so much people with good taste in this thread.

Your tastes are so shitty, I'm literally physically hurt. I'm bleeding from my left hand right now. That's how your tastes are shitty.

If you take these people's advice on Berserk (which I cannot begin to tell you how much I support them), make SURE you read the manga.

Berserk is beyond good, and the endless hours Miura puts into his manga absolutely shine through each and every page. He's a top-tier artist.

Most of what I'd say has already been mentioned, but I'd also add Mushi-shi. A lot of good inspiration for weird fantasy stuff in that show, and it's generally just great quality all around. It's one of those shows that really immerses you in a general sort of atmosphere as much as it tells a story (or a collection of short stories, as the case may be; it's pretty episodic).

Planetes, now there is some good quality writing right there. Certainly in my top 3 animes. Not sure how /tg/-related you can get with it though.

Bokurano was fantastic, though the manga was so much better. Watch the anime if only to expose yourself to it and try to find the manga, which takes dark storytelling to whole new levels. Great for developing your storytelling methods, imho.

Fate/Zero was just stupid fun. Fights were over the top and fantastic. Don't try to get drawn into the deep end with it. Just enjoy its for what it's worth. Also a good source of modern fantasy inspiration.

The problem is once you finish reading it you will likely rage when you realize how slowly new chapters come out. I mean one chapter every two months slow.
He refuses to hire help with his art (which is awesome, no doubt), but he really isn't trying to wrap up the manga at all.
>>
I'll throw another recommendation for Jojo's (considering how many "make a Stand" threads I've seen recently) as well as Tower of Druaga. Yes, it's based on a JRPG, but it's pretty much every dungeon crawl ever.

As said before, Rune Soldier Louie is Muscle Wizard, the Anime. Dub's pretty good, too.

Shingeki no Kyonin is actually getting an anime starting in April, and it's a pretty proper grimdark HUMANITY, FUCK YEAR! setting.

One Punch Man is really the story of a fa/tg/uy that actually followed through on his dreams to also be the Muscle Wizard.

Though I haven't seen any of them, the "Tales of.." OVAs are probably a safe bet.

And another for Sengoku Basara. It still manages to hide a veneer of politics behind its overpowering shonen atmosphere.

I fucking love Rune Soldier. It's like the transcript of your best D&D campaign ever. Not the most epic, the most fun, with the best friends.

Also, it's pretty easy to figure out Louie's stats if you're paying attention. He starts as a first-level wizard with 18 str and 12 int, and then starts taking fighter levels (once the dark-skinned musclegirl starts training him.) His spell selection is actually pretty solid; but his player is a lunatic. He has sleep (which he tries to cast on a mob of skeletons) and magic weapon (which he casts on his fists, in order to punch incorporeal nature spirits.)

It's also genuinely funny. Like the gladiator bit, where they figure out the opponent's secret weapon: he's got a gnome rogue hiding in his hat. This is the only appearance of gnomes in the series.

I'll second the reccomendation of Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere from that chart. It's /tg/ in the sense that it has a really big and detailed setting which involves changed laws of reality, magitech, actual magic and re-enacting the past to regain the knowledge to turn people into gods.
It also has a pretty large cast; pic related for that.

Do pay attention if you watch it though, since there's quite a lot of dialogue and not everything about motivations/the plot is spelled out for you.

It is. The premise starts out with the main character being a half-demon girl employed by a mysterious organization who chops demons in half for money with a giant Claymore...but definitely gets way bigger than that by the end with revenge plots and rebellion and mystery. It's like Berserk in that the characters are pretty likeable people, even the badguys, and not prone to sameface, it's got a good mix of bleak and lightheartedness, and the monsters actually look like creatures no sane normal person would take on.

I personally recommend you at least read up to the Campaign in the North arc. That's when you actually get to see just how large in scope the primary conflict is, overall.

I personally found it to be a great series. Though I don't think it reached it full massive potential, there were some fantastic moments of surprising depth and the narrative kept hinting at a greater story. You know, things that would have been perfect for plotting a superhero campaign.

Seeing as I'll probably never be able to run it, I just want a continuation of the storyline with a second season, not just another movie.

having looked through the thread, the only things I can think to include as well is Ghost Sweeper Mikami.

Which is about an Exorcist and her assistants in 90's Japan. It's funny, occasionally weird, and it features exorcism tennis at one point.

I've watched 2/3 of the first season of Horizon and

>>23324755

Her parents were the best part of the show. They died in a blaze of glory. What remained was a bunch of terms being thrown around like they're going out of style with very little actual explanations being given. Like I did not even realize that they was a longterm project of reenacting history until the point were mankind took to space en masse until I checked the Wiki.

So you will have to understand that I dropped it after nobody was left whom I'd care about and the world hadn't begun to make sense 2/3s into the run.

Right now we've got access to Seirei no Moribito, Juuni Kokki and Saiunkoku Monogatari, which leaves the anime Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere at best on par with stuff like Mars Daybreaks, most Gundam and other series that don't really bother to actually explain the background in any detail.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes - I have only watched about half of it but it is pretty cool.
Ghost in the Shell - the seminal cyberpunk anime.
Bodacious Space Pirates - Really good world building with electronic warfare focused combat. It is waayy better than it has any right to be. Though beware of the disgusting fan service (pic related).

Maybe not so /tg/ related but cool anyways:

Check out Historie and Eureka!, mangas about the early Classical period. Bretty nice and interesting, Historie being the tale of Eumenes (Alexander's secretary) - the only fault is that it it's updated slowly, it's just only getting into Philip's reign now. Eureka! is about Archimedes and how his inventions kill Roman troops.
There's a manga about Roman gladiator boxing (cestvs or something like that) and I could find only the first 8 chapters, apparently the full set is out there in chinese - anyway, again very nice setting and feel. I recommend the chapters available in english even though it's a bit of a cock-tease.
Dorohedoro is a manga about a Lizard face guy hunting magicians to find out who fucked up his face. Starts off somewhat nicely, got grim as fuck now. Amazing dirty-organic dystopian feel throughout.
The dude from Hellsing is now working on Drifters, a manga about characters from history and their shenanigans in a fantasy-land, including but not limited to Hannibal, Jebus and Hitler.
Zipang is a manga about a modern Jap navy ship getting time-warped into WW2 and how the information they posses changes history. Does have nationalist wank but is actually well-delivered throughout and has a lot of focus on the political and moral side.
The bros at /ak/ are scanlating a manga called Gate: Thus the JSDF Fought There. Now, this is unashamed otaku nationalist military wank but it's a fun ride about how modern military busts up niggas in fantasy-land.

Which reminds me

>Seirei no Moribito

Basically: "The legends were true, but some fucktard Emperor faked the records for political gains. Drought is gonna kill us of we don't manage to find the correct version and REENACT WHAT ORIGINALLY SAVED OUR KINGDOM"
Which, in this case means that they need a group of Ninjas, a failed spirit healer and a professional bodyguard to trip the fuck out and roast monsters in the Otherworld with flamethrowers until the Spirit of Water can be reborn from its human host.
Oh and we might be fucked because we sorta killed most of those birds that are supposed to take the spirit along to the ocean.

And the Otherworld is really almost next door to us. It's a strange and awesome place.

>Saiunkoku Monogatari

Anicent Fantasy China, only that there are no gods, only body-snatching Immortals who are going to do nothing as the Empire turns into a living hell. That is - if the current Emperor and his protegees fuck up as hard as his father did.

But no pressure, guys, carry on. No pressure.
>>
>>23325198
The guy you replied to here; that's basically my opinion as well. It's not really revolutionary, but still a damn good show.

>>23325216
If I remember correctly, the history re-enactment is actually explained in the infodump during the credits of episode 1. That's this show's biggest problem; they don't have the time to explain the setting as much as one would like. I actually hope they continue it as a series of OVAs so they do get that time.

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure is also great. The manga is supoerb, although Araki's artstyle is kinda weird in the beginning. The new anime is also really good.

Martian Sucessor Nadesico is a comedy in the same vein as Captain Tylor.

Also, if it hasn't been recommended yet, Terrestrial Defense Corp. Dai-Guard is worth watching if you're trying to make a monster of the week mecha game. It's also among the best mecha anime ever, and worth watching on it's own merits.

FYI, the manga and anime go hand in hand until you get to the north. Then the anime had to wrap up (26 episodes), whereas the manga is still going on with monthly releases. I *think* 139 is the most recent manga.

If you can find it, Fortune Quest is a great send up of fantasy RPGs. The first episode has an accidental TPK, and then they quickly restart with clones of their first characters.

>Fate

Iunno, Fate's philosophizing was a little hamfisted but they pulled it off reasonably well. "SHIT'S FUCKED, WHATCHA GONNA DO ABOUT IT?" is a pretty universal message and they didn't try to beat you over the head with it. Way better than Fate/Stay Night for whatever that's worth,

IMO, Fate/Stay Night (and the larger meta-setting, to which it belongs, the Nasuverse) is a wonderfully complex and bizarre world which I really like, though it is not for all tastes. Kinoku Nasu, the writer behind it, is a little strange (to put it mildly) and has just as much of a problem sticking to the rules he creates as he does following through on the characterization he sets out on. This is why I think Fate/Zero is better than F/SN - he didn't write the novel as much as he approved of it.

For stuff in a similar vein, I also recommend Kara no Kyokai: the Garden of Sinners. It's not for all tastes (for every person who likes it, there's another who find it boring / pretentious / slow), but IMO it has a good atmosphere of tense mystery, lovely music, amazing animation and badass fight choreography.

I'd like to think it's an out-of-theway World of Darkness chronicle, starring a modern-day Euthanatos trying to come to terms with her place in the world.


At the very least, you can punk the OST for a game and everyone will love you for it.

Shingeki no Kyojin

>>23327705
It's not really bad on its own, but it kinda shits on and drops the things the first season had going, which is what people really liked and wanted more of. Furthermore, the main character is a cute little girl and Hei becomes more like a supporting main character. The ending is COMPLETE bullshit. It's also a bit of a mess in the sense that you'll have no idea what the fuck happened between S2 and S1 unless you watch the OVAs first (which you should) even though they were released after S2.

Still, it's enjoyable, but it's just not the same Darker Than Black that it started out as, and in that respect it is a piece of shit.

I've never really understood the complaint that KnK is "2deep4u and pretentious about it." Since when is "it's powered by incomprehensibility" not a good reason for knife-fights? Sure, it's about as wrong about psychology as it is about meta-physics, but why shouldn't fiction explore ideas about people who think inhumanly instead of having magical powers but acting just the same?

okay I just read that and suddenly understood why it's pretentious. I didn't not post it, though

To be fair, they look like mechas. Of course, towards the end you should have wisened up to the fact they're really (actual spoiler)unearthly cyborgs animated by ineffable space magic, alien flesh bound with metal, controlled by an unholy collaboration between a parent and child's souls.

Oh, and let me spoil the meaning, because it's really obtuse: People can hurt each other, but sometimes they choose not to.
>>
>>23328333
Don't get me wrong, I love the shit out of KnK, but I recognize that my love for it isn't a universal thing. What I find engrossing (exploring the inhuman psychology of magicians, serial killers, and the stupid-but-loyal guys who love them) other people have reported find boring, confusing, or stupid, so
I give fair warning when I recommend stuff like that.

Could Planetes work as a setting, though? Could a campaign run with the PCs one of the Space Patrol officers or terrorists?

Wow just wow, VC 2 was very very bad. seriously. It turned a decently serious game into a high school slice of life shit.

>>23328494
That is why i said if you have ps3 play the game first.

>>23328341

To be fair there was only one speshul magical girl in the beginning and even though she was powerfull she had her limits and with proper tactics she could be out-manuevered and defeated.
Other than that it was pretty manly. Also
Largo is very manly about vegetables.

the thing i really liked about anime was that they involved other characters in the squad.
The thing i didnt like in anime was the change of releationship between welkin and alicia, so much unnecesaary complications and unnecessary drama added.

No Sound of the Sky/ Sora No Woto?
A perfect example of world building, and an interesting way to do high-tech & low-tech cross over and post-apoc stuff.
Plus the music is beautiful, and episodes 6 & 7 are manly tear inducing.
I really really want to run an Only War SnW game.
