Which Shows Are You Watching and Which do You Recommend?

Epsira · August 07, 2015, 11:27:35 PM

I'll segregate so it's easier to use your appropriate drinking fountains

Animated

Food Wars
Monster
Steven Universe: Season 2
Rick and Morty: Season 2

Recommend:
food porn- Food Wars
Detective Thriller- Monster
Humor: Rick and Morty (among so many other things. Rick and Morty is just brilliant).
Characterization and 'feels': Steven Universe

I also recently came off of From the New World and enjoyed it. If you like psychological/supernatural I'd give it a shot, though the animation style can be jarring at times.

Inanimate

In the Flesh
Black Mirror

Recommend: Both

Been watching Borgia on Netflix, b. Pretty good overall imo, great acting. Kinda weird though cause the pope is played by an American actor who speaks with an American accent in the show. If you like conniving, politics, history and gratuitous sex, you should def give it a go.

just finished up the X Files, goddamn what a great show

I've never seen X Files. What do you like most about it and where do you think it could have improved?

Give the first three episodes a solid run through if you try it. I was pretty much immediately hooked but the setup is slow. Slow and methodical like an on-call surgeon.
What I like most about the show so far is it's frugal in using exposition, it tells you just as much as you need to be invested as a viewer and to carry the plot forward. It's very well written and for the most part well paced.
The thing I don't like most is the convenience of clues to progress the plot, but this is only in a few places iirc.

Is it similar to Lain? My fragile mind couldn't handle that hooligan girl and her hallucinations

I haven't seen Lain yet, but so far there's minimal hallucinations.
There is one part that might destroy any innocence you have remaining, but it's pretty far in.

Yu · August 07, 2015, 11:59:00 PM

I'm currently watching 22 shows, and I regret it, next season I'll limit myself to 15.

watch fringe, do it.

Naoto · August 08, 2015, 11:35:58 AM

Not watching much of anything lately. Just waiting for college football to start.
So recommend list:

animated

Little Witch Academia + Little Witch Academia: Enchanted Parade
Cencoroll
Your lie in April
Angel Beats
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure
Beyond the Boundary
I can't understand what my husband is saying
Kill la kill
Archer
South Park

normie

Game of Thrones
Breaking Bad + Better Call Saul
Vikings
Doctor Who
The IT Crowd
Silicon Valley

Lots of basic stuff there. Couple I don't see mentioned a lot. Have a bunch of animu lined up, but haven't gotten to it yet.

Verbatim · August 08, 2015, 11:39:45 AM

I lack the commitment it takes to watch a show.

True Turquoise · August 08, 2015, 11:46:50 AM

Anime

Spoiler

Toradora!
Non Non Biyori Repeat
Joukamachi no Dandelion
Gintama
Ore Monogatari

Norm

Spoiler

Luther
Falling Skies
Person of interest

I don't recommend much of this and I'm so slow with watching now

DAS B00T x2 · August 08, 2015, 11:49:54 AM

I'm not watching anything, actually.

Ásgeirr · August 08, 2015, 11:55:03 AM

recently finished Noragami, would highly recommend

Mr. Psychologist · August 08, 2015, 12:36:21 PM

Hmm, well the last show-show that I watched was GoT S5 or w/e they are on now. The whole, let's drag the mannis through the mud shit left a sour taste in my mouth ontop of House of Cards S3 being painful and BCS ending ages ago. Might rewatch dexter or house at some point because it's been more than a few years since watching either now.

For the stuff I'm watching at the moment it's all chinese cartoons
(Send any fukinweebs messages to the inbox please)

Gate: Jieitai Kanochi nite, Kaku Tatakaeri (Gate: And so the SDF fought iirc)
Which is basically a childhood dream come true in chinese cartoon form

Spoiler

When I was a leetle beybeh, I always wanted to see what Helms Deep would look like with a few Browning M2 Nests set up along the deeping wall. Gate showed me the next best thing and then some.
Not only do you have MGs, Tanks, Foxholes and Artillery but the latest episode was a massive army of bandits getting shredded by attack helicopters, hueys full of drop troops/miniguns and pistol vs sword fights e.e

None of this offscreen pussified bullshit either, full on battle scenes.

Also watching Kiseijuu/Parasyte which I think byrne reviewed on here a little while back now <.<
It's very good, kind of surprised me how well the characters were done in comparison to damn near everything else I've watched. It's mirror perfect for how people would likely react to this that and the other <_<
As a sort of gauge for how much I'm enjoying it, it normally takes me a month to get through 25 episodes. I'm halfway through in less than a week.
