I don't think I've seen one of these threads in a minute, so why not?
Here's what I've had going on -
Completed:
Good:
Giant Robo: the Day the Earth Stood Still - Great OVA! I'd recommend this to anyone who enjoys G Gundam since the first few episodes of this essentially helped Imagawa get the job as the first non-Tomino TV Gundam showrunner. From what I know, they didn't license the actual stories from the manga, so Imagawa and crew made shit up whole cloth and use characters from miscellaneous Yokoyama manga. It gives it this really manic energy when guys with random super powers and Romance of the Three Kingdoms characters are all fighting each other like a kid playing with a box of their parents old toys. Very light on actual robot fights, but the animation is gorgeous.
Getter Robo: Armageddon - More 90s super robots. I didn't like it as much as Giant Robo, but this goes pretty hard and was enjoyably edgy as fuck.
Rose of Versailles - Delightful 70s classic. It has me wanting to watch more Dezaki stuff - maybe Space Adventure Cobra will work its way in soon.
OK:
Mobile Suit Gundam 00 Season 2 - Wasn't bad, but it just didn't have enough to interest me.
.hack//Sign - This was a favorite of mine back in the old days. It's good for an advertisement/prelude for the PS2 games, but I don't think I would recommend it otherwise. I also watched the Intermezzo and Unison OVAs - they're eh.
Kill La Kill - I watched this on a whim after watching Cutie Honey (1973). It's not bad, it's just not really my thing.
Musha Knight Commando: SD Gundam Scramble - Probably cool if you were like 10 in Japan in the early 90s.
Bad:
Cross Ange - Please check CWs before considering this, but wow is this an interesting train wreck of a show.
Ongoing:
Legend of the Galactic Heroes - 30/110 so far. Still liking it a lot, but I'm just slowly working my way through this one. I couldn't imagine binging through it.
Damn, I've been neglecting c/anime. I was the one who's been doing those in the past ๐
So here's a few I'm far enough in to comment.
Completed:
Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-Kun (2014, Rewatch)
Still great, one of the funniest shows around with great and very foolish characters. This rewatch made me actually read the Manga, and it's also very good and entertaining. Unfortunately, it's still incomplete and very slow. Who knew? Girls' Monthly Nozaki-Kun is a monthly series.
Ongoing:
Dragon Ball (1986, 102/153 episodes)
Going through the original Dragon Ball, you're gonna get a very consistent quality good Shounen, and really, it's good enough for me. Especially since even master Roshi calmed down on the horny bullshit by now. Unhinged Gun Lady my beloved.
Nichijou (2011, 23/26)
Not as good as Azumanga Daioh, but it's still excellent and you WILL fall in love (platonically) with characters like Yukko or Nano. And of course everything about the show screams high effort. I wonder what Azumanga would have been like if late 2000s KyoAni was the company tasked with making it instead of J. C. Staff (not like that version is bad - the opposite in fact)
Life happens and you sometimes get too busy to post - it's all good! Clearly quite a few people also missed your list posts.
This is such a an exciting place for this show, too. Right at the end of the Budokai Tenkaichi/Tienshinhan storyline and getting into the Piccolo storylines. I feel like this is right where the show starts feeling like DBZ.
Started Dragonball last night, first episode is... well
Yeah, especially the beginning is very horny. It does... eventually... calm down in that regard.
