Looking for a good movie or ANIME to watch please respond

Jive Turkey · December 05, 2015, 11:53:19 PM

Hey guys I have two options and would like recommendations

I want to watch a top 10/10 movie. One of those movies that everyone says is a must watch ya know? Something like Good Will Hunting, The Shawshank Redemption, or Captain America Winter Soldier. Movies that have good twists or mindfucks are cool too. Also if they are relatively new that is a bonus.

OR if someone would recommend me a cool anime I could watch and get into pretty quick. The only anime I've ever watched is DBZ, Yu Yu Hakusho, and a tiny bit of Inuyasha when I was younger. Anything similar to the first two would be cool, a friend recommend I watch Bleach, any good?

Thanks fellas

"Good anime"?

what a strange concept

Summer Wars is a pretty great anime film.

I have a feeling someone like you would enjoy something more laid back and... what's the word... calmly paced? But not boring either. The dialogue is what makes the anime, not the action. A lot of negative stigma anime gets is from the over the top voice acting and action. This is quite the opposite.

I think you'd enjoy Spice and Wolf, which is something I recommend to the OP.

Hmm... It has sup par production, but the story and plot are great.

The Razor's Edge with Bill Murray.

It may change your outlook on life

I don't really watch anime but Overlord and One Punch Man have been pretty entertaining. They both feature stupidly OP protagonists.

I was actually going to recommend the dub. It's arguably one of the best dubbed animes around and so far I love the voices for the two leads. The woman voices Moxxi from Borderlands.

Edit: Also, pilots are always slow. Give it 3 episodes please sop you see the characters in full force. And I'll find you a stream if it's not on Netflix. Just PM me or something if that's so.

How far away are you willing to stray from stereotypical macho shonen? I can't think of much that's good and fits squarely into that genre.

I'm pretty certain Jellyfish Princess is on Netflix, in English and isn't as obnoxious as most other animes

I was thinking that too. But I thought it was a huge change of pace from the normal crazy sword battles (fate comes to mind) that one usually thinks of with anime.

Kitsune actually told me to watch that awhile ago. It was, uh... well...

a little bit outside of my demographic i think

i had high hopes going in just because jellyfish are my favorite animal but w/e lol

Verbatim · December 06, 2015, 12:33:45 AM

this thread isn't about me though

OT:
i was about to recommend fight club but i can guarantee jive has already seen that before

uhhhh
wolf of wall street? that seems up your alley

it's very long though--3 hours

Winy · December 06, 2015, 12:39:13 AM

Gurren Lagann was fun.

Fight Club is in my top 3

disliked Wolf of Wall Street. Everyone around me loved it though

Luciana · December 06, 2015, 12:46:52 AM

Oh I have one more

Baccano. It takes place during the American Mafia days and is just the best combination of action, humor, and drama. The intro is so damn catchy too. I'd recommend it dubbed for the full accent effect. Gives it a nice zing.

Spoiler

One Punch man is ongoing and apparently has a pretty good adaptation.

Spoiler

JoJo's Bizzare Adventure: Stardust Crusaders definitely has the macho, but it also focuses on bizarre humor.

Spoiler

Fate/Zero is probably the easiest Nasuverse work to get into for new people because it caters to people who haven't read any of the light novels or visual novels that are associated with the universe in which is resides. Basically mages summon legendary figures from various points in time (Alexander the Great, Heracles, Medusa, Lancelot, Gilles de Rais, etc) to take part in a battle royal for the holy grail.

Spoiler

Desert Punk is more crude humor based, but it follows a mercenary around as he travels the great kanto desert to take various jobs.

Luke · December 06, 2015, 04:27:58 AM

you haven't seen the Shawshank Redemption?
definitely recommend
