[X] My Assistant

Naked boobs are great, but they aren't the first thing I fell in love with anime for.

Fag

I'm not gay, I just like feminine dicks

That actually tracks

Working on my 80's/90's bucket list again.

Tell me if I should actively avoid any of these or if any of them are so 'meh' as to be not worth the time. I know some of them should be good without advice, but only know the basics of most of them.
No particular order to these, except I think I'll try Nadia and then Armitage III first. Unless persuaded otherwise.
Things I have not read/watched yet:

• (currently watching) Kimagure Orange Road (against my better judgement at this point, episode 7 of 48) (Pierrot)
• Nadia: Secret of the Blue Water (Gainax)
• Armitage III (AIC)
• Key the Metal Idol (Pierrot)
• Appleseed (Gainax)
• Megazone 23 (AIC)
• Silent Möbius (AIC/Radix, depending on if it's the films or TV show)
• Maryuu Senki (AIC/Bandai)
• Genocyber (Artmic/Artland)
• Kurogane Communication (A.P.P.P.)
• Gall Force (AIC)
• Ranma ½ (only ever read the manga) (Deen)
• Gunbuster (Gainax)
• Dangaioh (AIC/Artmic)
• Riding Bean (AIC/Artmic)
• Dominion Tank Police (Ginga Teikoku, Agent 21, J.C. Staff - e.g., pre-2000 OVA's) - might just read it, though
• Ganmu/Gunnm/Battle Angel Alita (Madhouse; also planning to read the original manga if I can)
• FLCL (OVA's only) (Gainax)
• Serial Experiments Lain (Triangle Staff)
• Patlabor (any of it, idk really, just hear about it a lot so I feel like I should see what it's about)
• Royal Space Force (Gainax)
• Roujin Z (A.P.P.P.)

Appended 22 July 2022:

• Iria
• Stardust Crusaders OVA
• Gunsmith Cats
• Gundam 0080/0083
• Desert Rose
• El Hazard

Appended 24 July 2022:

• Maison Ikkoku (probably yet another bad idea) (Deen) (Rumiko Takahashi)

I will continue avoiding Akira as long as possible.
There's definitely a heavy cyberpunk emphasis on this list, looking over it. And a heavy AIC tilt.
Yes, I have seen Ghost in the Shell, and no, I do not want to watch Evangelion yet because it's probably going to depress me too much if I do.

Some things I have finished reading/watching (and my ratings, out of five stars):

• Bubblegum Crisis (AIC, Artmic, Youmex) (★★★★★; would probably be 6/5 if it hadn't been 'cancelled' four episodes early).
• Chobits (manga, CLAMP) (★★★★★)
• Ranma ½ (manga, Rumiko Takahashi) (★★★½)
• Inuyasha (manga, Rumiko Takahashi) (★★★★)
• Dragon Ball (and Z) (manga and anime, Akira Toriyama) (early series: ★★★★; post-Red Ribbon Army: ★★½ or lower)
• Dr. Slump (manga, Akira Toriyama) (★★★★)
• Jitsu Wa Watashi Wa (manga, "In truth, I am..."/"Actually, I am...", or something like that) (First half: ★★★½, Second half: ★★★★½. Highly recommended, and not just because I briefly helped with the scanlation near the end. Cute and dumb. Art style changes a lot as it goes on)
• Tenchi Muyo: Ryo Ohki (OVA's) (series 1: ★★★★½; series 2: (★★★½)
• Dungeon Meshi (manga) (Fluctuates wildly between ★★ and ★★★★★, depending on chapter. Average (mean): ★★★½; Median: ★★★)
• Project A-Ko (A.P.P.P.) (★★★★½)
• Dirty Pair (★★★★; a very fun watch but not so much continuity. I love the characters.)

[*]Patlabor (any of it, idk really, just hear about it a lot so I feel like I should see what it's about)

Watch the first movie, if you really like it, then you can watch the series. The series is like slice of life comedy with police mechas that eventually has story. The movies only really focus on the more serious story side. The three movies were quite different to each other though.

It's time to d-d-d-d-d-duel.

Fuck, gunsmith cats has an animation? Thought it was manga only.

As for the rest, I have no excuses.

Fuck, gunsmith cats has an animation?

It's actually fairly good.

This is better.

k fag

I don't know that music genre.

Where's Gunsmith Cats?

Wearing clean underwear each day is important.

These are good, but 10 hour loop of Mud Kip Mud Kip doesn't get much better

Some songs.

[*]Gunbuster (Gainax)

Gunbuster's sequel is Diebuster which I also liked. Die Buster had different directors for its episodes, so that also gave it a different feel episode to episode despite the screen plays clearly in synch with what Gainax wanted.

Another older anime from the cel era is Fight! Iczer-One. It was released as several OVA episodes, but then was reissued as a theatrical movie edition which is the version I preferred. As with Gall Force, all of the species' characters are female. The Iczer-One soundtrack is very good considering that it came out in the 1980's. The low-res youtube Iczer-One movie is slightly NSFW. And if you like some of the snippets of music from the anime, I strongly recommend the Iczer-One Battle Music Collection available on nyaa. Unlike other modern anime soundtracks, the music tracks were made to be listenable as real audio music tracks rather than as sound effects tracks.



A little bit of Iczer-2 is never enough. Iczer-2 lives on in this crossover with Bubblegum Crisis . . . .

Man, I forgot about Gall Force.

It was in my list.

I had looked at a Sonoda Kenichi art book on the galleries here recently..

Some songs.

lol your list is from the era when I actually used to hang out with large groups of friends.
