No. 392578
>>392555>>392561Zombieland Saga is so mid. A good concept buried under mediocrity and your typical idolshit trash songs that might as well have been composed by AI. It never develops its gimmick (zombie idols) properly, because there are just too many plotholes and inconsistencies and we need to shill the screeching we call 'music', because Avex wants to sell CDs. Why do all of them even want to become an idol group? You are immortal now, so you can do whatever you want, you don't need to worry about drinking and eating or falling sick. For many of them their families and friends are still alive and it's not only illogical, but also peak cruelty not to contact them. You could have chosen to be the family vampire and hang around your relatives for as long as they are alive, even becoming a sort of legendary wise sage as decades pass. Instead they choose to be slaves that perform crappy songs as background noise in a group, while for many of them being a solo act was the peak of their careers or aspirations (that was definitely true for idols in the past).
A bunch of slave girls coping is not a good idea for a story.

Otherwise it was yet another flavor of the month animu that everyone forgot about after a while.

And though I do dislike what's-his-face for being dreadfully, painfully
boring—his dynamic with Zero Two was very interesting. It's not really common for the male character to have "I can fix her, you don't know her she's just misunderstood!" Type of mentality towards their female love interest.

It makes me sad that Kaiju no8 isn't that popular, simply because the anime has some of the best treatment of women I've seen so far - no sexualization, harassment, hell, the male squad mates look up to them… and I'm kind of glad that the mc is in his early 30s

Agree on the female characters as well, it's nice how their being female isn't heavily dwelt on, instead the focus is on how capable and inspiring they are.

Anybody know concretely if there's a reason why canon-divergent endings are less common in modern anime adaptations? I've always wondered if it was because studios got burned too many times with the (at least from what I can tell) unpopularity of such endings, or if it was because of some other shift in the industry I'm unaware of. I do vastly prefer that nowadays we get adaptations that simply drop off if they don't make it to the end of the original material since I've seen it happen more than once where another studio takes up the work where they left off down the line.
Pic not particularly related, it's just one of many instances I can recall of this phenomenon.
No. 395138
>>395136Nowadays studios try and milk series for all they're worth. In the past anime series would be made often as an advertisement for the manga, so they would adapt a couple volumes of an ongoing series and then come up with their own original ending when it came time to end the TV adaptation. Nowadays, anime itself is more prized as a product, especially with how big streaming has gotten. Rather than adapting a few volumes of a manga and then moving on to adapting a different project, its considered preferable to continually adapt a successful series. This way they can continually make all the money they can from a dedicated fanbase, rather than simply trying to boost manga sales.
You can see this in action with stuff like Blue Exorcist, which got a 2-cour adaptation with an original ending about a decade ago, but when producers realized Blue Exorcist is a valuable series they went back and made second and third seasons following the manga to cash-in on the fanbase.

>>395599Hakumei and Mikochi, about two women (there aren't humans in this series, all "humans" are little people like them) living in a lush and richly crafted fictional world. They live together in a house built into a tree, Hakumei is a carpenter/builder by trade and Mikochi is chef/seamstress. The author has a great appreciation for both nature and traditional folk craft that shines through in the series.
The majority of their friends are women with diverse personalities and jobs. The few males they engage with are either talking animals (not furbait, they're actual weasels and mice and such) or various local business owners.
A great heart healing series.

>>395645No, I'm not acting dense on purpose it's just annoying to see terms completely misused like that. It's nigh impossible to find any non movie where women don't talk about men throughout it's entire duration, because it's natural for it to appear in conversation at some point, no matter how female exclusive the piece of media is. I know I'm starting to sound pedantic but this is really tickling my autism in a way I didn't expect it to.

I'd say she deserves better, but she's a retard for not immediately giving up on the scrote.
This is why moids love this show. It's the ultimate wish fulfilment for them. The guy gets to be a piece of shit, and even though he catches physical abuse for it, it's never serious and he recovers immediately. And the hottest girl in the series is in love with him. Only the aliens and weird shenanigans outside their "romance" is interesting.

No. 397378
>>397282Rose of Versailles is pretty good and it's absolute classic shoujo. It follows a period of 20+ years since the arrival of 15-year-old Marie Antoinette in Versailles and Oscar (same age as her) becoming captain of her royal guard, until the French Revolution.
Some people don't like the beginning so much because it's mostly focused on MA having court drama while Oscar babysits her, but later on it develops and it explores the political tensions going on, and Oscar gradually realizing the plight of the people and the conflict between her allegiance to the royal family vs her empathy for the people.
Oscar's main schtick is that she was raised as a boy because her father needed an heir but only had daughters. Frankly, her inner conflict of femininity vs masculinity was kinda eh to me, but she's a really strong character, and popularized a whole archetype of beautiful androginous woman (bifauxnen). I also really love the way it explores MA. She starts as a naive fifteen year old that doesn't know how to navigate the court drama and conspiracies surrounding her, and you can see her grow to become resentful of her position.
The visuals are also gorgeous with a lot of dramatic shots where everything becomes red or blue for drama, and I loved the music as well.

In regards to SpongeBob when you consider nickelodeons working conditions and working on a kids show 24/7, I can’t really blame them.

>>398105>The worst part is all the attempts at being deep and serious are shallow anyways, because NEET ass manga writers don't have any real life experience to draw from for any form of deep and meaningful commentary.Yes, yes, yes. This is so true, down to the parallel with western anime. Animation's idea of a deep storyline is 'guise… society is controlling us' with a drawing of black sheep surrounded by white sheep. Young NEET mangakas can ascend to genuinely interesting commentary, but it often hinges on their knowledge of other art forms or relies on confession-style manga. For some reason 2deep4u anime comes across as really derivative, like they're taking inspiration from a shitty photocopy of what was once clear and sharp.
The rest is extremely true aswell.
No. 398125
>>398115Ayrt, and I doubt an anime writer/mangaka can ever write anything genuinely deep or interesting, even when they write about Japanese society specifically. Because at the end of the day they're actually spoiled rich privileged people, which is how they could easily live as NEETs thanks to mama and papa's money, and get in the industry of their dreams of animation or manga. It's actually a bit condescending to me when I watch something trying to be so deep with the struggles of the characters but they all have it so much better than me and their problems are so petty. It's one of the many reasons why I actually hate evangilon. Only Asuka had somewhat serious issues, the rest were such insufferable crybabies. Wah wah guy not date me wah wah dad no love me wah wah I'm a scientist but also a woman or whatever. It's so insulting that I'm supposed to relate and sympathize with those spoiled ass characters, same applies to majority of anime like that. Someone will probably hate me for this but it's why I stick to shounen and shounen turned seinen kind of stuff, because at least the characters' struggles involve wars and genocide or some crazy shit like that. Slice of life and stories about adult characters aren't necessarily bad, but they're always written with the worst kind of characters possible and their stories are just so boring and impossible to sympathize with because of how pathetic they are.
>'guise…society is controlling us'You're so right about this kek, it's like the only epiphany they can ever reach lmao. They never dare to actually criticize and go against their societal norms because it won't sell and won't make it past the editing team lol. I think the same can apply to western shows, too. Both can only make what is approved by society at the end of the day, or else they'll lose their jobs.

>instead of copying street fashion and sheinI'd love it if they integrated it seamlessly but yes, they just take insta trend #35 and make an overcrowded design out of it. I feel like older chara designers actually observed historical or contemporary fashion closely, not copying it but catching its spirit to then play with it, adding a little or a lot of whimsy. The end product feels like it has a life of its own, it felt like the character's look (ignoring clothes) matched what they wore and the general world they were in. I wonder how much of this is to accomodate cosplayers, i notice anime-inspired licenses like Genshin care way too much about being cosplayer-friendly, which produces extremely insipid characters. The style of older anime itself (its lineart, etc) probably helped a lot too

do any nonnies pretty much exclusively watch dubs? Ive only recently gotten back into anime after like 6+ years of barely watching anything and I just cant stand subs anymore. I hate having to read instead of being able to 100% focus on the pretty animation and japanese just sounds so fuckin annoying, and I'm saying this as someone who watched hundreds of subbed anime between the ages of 12-15 or so. Rewatching old shows Im now watching them dubbed, and 99% of dubs are actually perfectly fine, good even, and any new shows that peak my interest if they dont have a dub I either go straight for the manga or pass over. I think 13 year old edgy sub elitist weeb me would vomit seeing me now but I just dont care.

She mentions in the novel the anime is based on that she becomes more indoctrinated as years go by and looking back on it she's ashamed over how messed up things in their society was, but it was so normalized she didn't question it at the time. I recommend reading the novel, it is definitely way more sexualized that the anime but reading Saki's thoughts in more depth and more details on how the brainwashing works gives you a better understanding of the anime.

The Netflix sub for Dungeon Meshi is often borderline nonsensical and they accidentally a word constantly.
I've been watching the anime adaptation of Dead Dead Demon's De De De De Destruction, and the "subs" are just closed captions for the over-localized English dub. The anime is already adapted somehwta poorly imo. Most scenes are paced and staged somewhat poorly because the anime director didn't fill in the gaps in time and space that are normal to leave out in a manga. The poor "translation" just makes following the anime 20x harder.
I checked out the first chapter of the manga, and even though it's really obvious just from watching the anime that the manga would be better, I was shocked at how much more comprehensible it was.

Stupid question but how well do you remember the series you watched? I went through my watched list and realized, while I remember the overall plot of every (or almost every…) show I watched, it's hard to conjure any specific plot points. I feel like it's especially bad with series I binged instead of watched weekly or monthly. If I sit down and really think about it for a few minutes, a lot of times some specific scenes come back to me, but I don't think I could tell you what led up to it. It doesn't seem to matter when I watched the show, either–I remember some anime I watched six years ago better than some I watched last year, but that might be related to binging vs weekly again.
Strangely it's the other way round for me for manga. I couldn't tell you what happened in the chapter last month or before that, but if you asked me when character X got introduced in that one series I read at once in a school night ten years ago, I could tell you it happened somewhere around volume four, after character Y got its own arc lol.
It's gotten to the point I'm starting to think about keeping something akin to a journal, where I try to write at least one bulletpoint on what happened in each episode I watched lol.
No. 404326

I have the same problem with anime lmao. Except when it's one I hate, then I remember every detail against my own will. My strategy is to watch an anime that has a manga, then after a while go and read the manga. So the manga would be a fresh and new experience to me, but it will also solidify the events in my memory. But if I read a manga only without anime, I still remember the details, I also remember the details with anime that is a bit slow paced and little happens in each episode but still progresses the plot even if it's a long anime. Or when an event drags on for multiple episodes. But when it's really long and the story has different arcs, then my old timer's disease hits me. I noticed this with Bleach. I binge watched it back in 2019 along with Monster, Evangelion and Slam Dunk. I remember Eva because I hated it, I remember monster because it was slow based and because I reread the manga years later, but for Bleach and Slam Dunk, they both have that "break points" where some big events happens then some big thing happens then some other big thing happens, for Bleach it's all the fights, while for Slam Dunk it's all the basketball matches. But the character related events are easy for me to recall. Jojo is the only long series I binge watched and remember everything of because it was too crazy to forget and I'm autistic about the details, as well as the "break points" being more smoothly connected narrative wise, so I remember them because they link to each other, unlike regular anime arcs like in Bleach (despite the arcs somewhat being connected, but not strong enough for me to remember their relevance to each other. )

So far I've watched one episode and a bit but it just feels creepy to me how young she is and how old the guy she loves was, and also there's a character with absolutely ridiculously giant boobs.

It depends on what kind of shows you like, I absolutely loved the entire thing despite it's flaws (probably because I saw it from the previously mentioned POV). It's kind of slow at the start because they focus a lot on Violet and the world building but after that it becomes more contained stories about the people she meet, I recommend you skip over the one about the prince and princess though.

I don't care too much about fanservicey jokes even if I dislike it but there's something very sinister about an anime aimed at preteen girls having this kinda joke. Once again it's not explicit and people online don't consider it fanservice since it's innocent but the team working on it is compromised of mostly adult men, we all know their intent. I just hope these jokes aren't common or don't happen again at all because I'm really enjoying it outside of this.

Maybe it's because I got a bit burnt out from all the disappointment I felt with the Sailor Moon remake, but I feel like animation studios today are so busy with pumping shit out they forget the point of metaphors and symbolism. Like at the end of the Sailor Moon manga where Moon got her wings burnt off by golems she is supposed to face Galaxia without her wings, which Galaxia even comments on ("So you lost your wings"), and she then gets her wings back when she in the middle of all her loss finds her will to face evil again. It's babby's first symbolism. But in the remake she suddenly has her wings back again when she faces Galaxia, DESPITE GALAXIA STILL POINTING OUT HER SUPPOSED LOSS OF WINGS, just so they could make a cool fighting scene of her flying around the temple.

Watched the first 3 episode of Ranma ½ 2024 and re-watched the first 3 episode of the original.
The 2024 doesn't show nipples and has 50% less bare naked breast shots, a little quicker paste and the fight scenes are more intense than the original.
But I 100% prefer the coloring of the original with it saturated colors, especially female Ranma with her trademark crimson red hair color was always an eye catcher, which the new version doesn't have.
If you're a sucker for 80s Anime aesthetics and coloring, design and beautiful backgrounds, the original is better than the 2024 version.
The new version also doesn't add anything new, it's the 80's Anime just in a modern style and coloring.

Peacemaker and Clayface's magical girl transformation sequences gave me a bit of a laugh ngl>>410679I'm finding it a lot of fun, the premise of bad but sexy vampire dads trying to balance crime investigation with trying to raise their kids is so wacky but it's working for me.

>>412340>modern OVAIs that even still a thing outside of 5 minute chibi/SD specials on BDs of TV anime?
>70's>Unico: Black Cloud White FeatherIt's probably not that obscure among Tezuka fans but I think I only saw 3 other things from the 70's so this is the most obscure one.
>80's>Ogami MatsugorouVery few people have seen it on MAL but I actually found it pretty funny and really liked it.
>NayutaVisibly low budget and the writing was bad, don't recommend
>Amon SagaI watched it because Yoshitaka Amano was involved (character design) but it was really bad and wasn't even pretty to look at
>Yami no Purple EyeIt's actually a 30 minute AMV. I felt so trolled when I watched it and kept waiting for the OP to be over
>Urban SquareThe main character is mediocre and the romantic subplot is boring af but I liked the parts with the cool detective guy.
>90's>Oedo wa Nemurenai!It has a low score, but I found it decent enough and the art looked sometimes cool.
I feel that weebs are sometimes a bit retarded about OVAs and cannot get it into their heads that a lot of OVAs are just ads for the manga, so they get really mad about the plot not making 100% sense and clearly lacking information. I watch old OVAs based on vibes so it doesn't bother me that much>Satsujin Kippu wa Heart-iro I remember it being mediocre
>Sweet SpotDidn't care about it
>The Gakuen Choujo-taiMAL lists this as a shoujo but I remember thinking there was way too much fanservice for that to be true.
>00's>Afro-KenI think I remember appreciating it in an almost shitpost way, but it's been pretty long so I don't remember well.
>Ashiaraiyashiki no Juunin-tachi,2010This one's bad but don't watch a lot of obscure stuff from the 10's, so I don't have much else worth mentioning
>20's>Ore, TsushimaI didn't care that much about it, but it was fine.
I was gonna list more stuff but actually I don't feel like spending all day writing about all the obscure 80's/90's OVAs I've seen so you nonnas can just keep this slightly random list.
I like watching old obscure OVAs. Often they're pretty short, so I even enjoy watching the lowkey garbage ones (because they don't waste my time long enough to bore me to death).

made a collage of some of the shows I've been watching as of late and my impressions of them so far. In no particular order
1. My Deer Friend Noko-tan: 5.5/10. Nice weekly dose of brainrot but the comedy sometimes is a hit or a miss.
2. Mayonaka Punch 7/10. Underrated gem of the season. A canceled YouTuber homes in with vampire girls to get their channel to 1mill subs and one of them gets to suck her blood dry in return. Main girl is an asshole but she's a lovable asshole. I love all the vampire girls and their personalities and how the show portrays being a content creator. It's super fun and even had a few episodes that pull at your heart strings. I don't even care if it's possible yuribait. I can't wait to see how it goes on.
3. The Elusive Samurai: 7.5/10. One of the rare times I actually enjoy watching a shounen anime, nonetheless a historical retelling. Not a major fan of the genre in general mostly due to dumb powerscaling but this one doesn't seem to be going in the direction if a battle shounen. Beautifully animated, has likable characters and Tokiyuki is adorable. I might be up to reading the manga once the anime is over.
4. Delico's Nursery: ?/10. Only 3 episodes so far so it may be a bit too early to be completely judging it, but I see failmail ikemen vampire dads taking care of their kids with pretty art and that alone was enough to get me into it. I'm not that super invested in the murder mystery part of the story but maybe that might change in future episodes who knows.
5. Senpai is an Otokonoko: 6.5/10. I'm going into this as someone who hasn't really read the webcomic, only seen bits of panels on the web. I'm liking it so far and like how it mixes the drama with the light and comedic moments. Makoto is a sweetheart but incredibly dense at times. I know the show is mainly focused on him being a crossdressing boy and the budding romance between his childhood friend vs girl who confessed to him assuming he was a girl at first, but the way it kinda flip flops at times with alluding he might troon out is a bit of a turn off for me. It isn't to heavily focused for me to drop the show though. He firmly considers himself a boy who just likes cute things, but there were moments where he questions if he wants to be a girl or questions if he's neither a boy or a girl. I really do hope he just stays a non-conforming boy through the end. I rarely ever see otokonoko being the main of the story in a serious manner. Theyre usally just side charcters for fanservice in most shows. Just someone get it through his head it's not wrong to be a boy who likes being feminine. I avoid discussions on this one on socmed because of TiMs enforcing their headcanons onto him. Even outright refusing to call him "he" and use "she" or "they" pronouns when talking about him despite that everyone in the show calls him by male prounouns even when he's crossdressed. But anyways. I like the show, just cautious on how it'll end. (Hopefully with him and his male childhood friend as the endgame couple seeing the latest episode). that's my fujo self fulfillment.

I WANT to like this show so bad, I really like the black haired main and the two of them are prime shipping material. I also enjoy murder mysteries so this could have been something I really enjoyed… but I just can't handle mangas/animes where they do it like Conan and have one character pose as the genius detective while the one actually solving the mystery stands in the background. I just can't get into that trope. The only time was fine with it was in Nougami Neuro and that was because I liked the characters and the main mystery so much I didn't mind it.

>cultural comedyComedy varies a lot depending on culture, just compare the difference between american and brittish comedy. I prefer the japanese take on anti-comedy than my own country's, but there are a lot of comedy in anime that flies over my head because it's cultural or historical, just like how some of the cultural jokes from my country would be a complete miss for someone in Australia.
>when it was releasedPanty and Stocking was released in 2010 (and was probably in production since the late 2000's), right at the tail end of the 2000's edgy and random humor era. Especially in comedy anime during that period a handful a shows were mainly lot about pushing the envelope of how far you could take it before it became too sexual or offensive (see: Excel Saga, Ebichu, Detroit Metal City, Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan, et al.). I remember loving the show when it came out, but had I watched it for the first time now I would probably not enjoy it as much.

Light novel series that takes place in court, doesn't help that the anime chose an artstyle that seems cheap compared to the shoujo style fo the manga adaption.
I'm planning on reading the novels at one point, there's some really neat worldbuilding that the anime scrapes the surface of.

>>414217I should have elaborated. My issue with otaku culture is the consumerism related to it, for example you see more shows featuring cute girls aimed towards male fans rather than women because otakus moids are more likely to buy merch featuring their waifu flavor of the week, so it's easier to pick up shows that might get popular enough so they can pump out figurines and shit.
I love old animes, but I also love a lot of newer ones too, but the catering to moid otakus and their money is a bit extra obvious than others. Not saying old shows didn't have fanservice too, of course. It's more about about the way shit is catered, the lack of shows featuring solo female mains that isn't related solely to the male gaze is prelivalent imo which is also why the Rose of Versailles remake rubs me kinda the wrong way despite the fact I also really look forward to it - I would have loved to see that budget spent on something NEW for women featuring strong, independent female characters. Sure, the remake is going to introduce the franchise to newer fans but it's just that; a remake of a story already told.

>>416542It's just a genuinely good show about people and relationships. The story might be a bit slow at first but you should start liking it more once you get to episodes like the swallow and the firefly. In season 1 you get to know Natsume's tragic past and see how things slowly change for the better. Natsume is very likable so you grow attached to him and the show really pulls at your heartstrings.
It's also written by a woman and has 0 weird anime shit. No otaku fanservice, no weird sexual jokes. It's just a nice iyashikei show.
I also really like Reiko's character. She is based and unlike the usual cutesy anime girl. She never got married, had a daughter out of wedlock, and always did whatever she wanted.

Does anyone else watch anime YouTubers?
I really got into old manga/anime thanks to binging Katsuhiro Otomo's body of work like a year ago but have found it hard to dig up esoteric pieces of that era. Sometimes I just want something off the beaten path. Like I love Akira and Perfect Blue, but some days I wanna watch stuff like Fukuyama no Gekijo too. So anime YouTubers right?
But every anime YouTuber I come across either recommends the three big pieces that everyone who looks into the era has heard in passing, or include things like hentai because it was "a big influence on how anime is now". Why? I think even just a casual viewer of anime is aware of how much pornbrain shit permeates the genre, so including it for historical context just feels like a copout to talk about your favorite jerk off material (another thing I've noticed is the genre is filled with scrotes and TiMs).
I mean I realize I have to do my own digging now, but I was curious if any other Nonna's noticed this. Especially with like the uptick in popularity because of "old anime aesthetic".

>>420444>Erm I doubt anyone here has akshuslly watched isekai outside of rayearth and escaflowneI didn't mean convincing people to watch, but convincing to stop shitting on. Isekai is copy-paste slop and has very few appealing factors for a female audience. Maybe something like the mild fujobait in SAO but even then it's crumbs. Also imo neither escaflowne or rayearth are isekai in the modern sense of the term.

>>420415>I doubt most here have watched any isekai that isn't escaflowne or rayearth and most never will.Why would someone want to watch most isekaishit that isn't those two? Escaflowne and Rayearth were actually good and they came out a long time ago before isekai became the watered down garbage it is now.
A good part of isekaishit that's been coming out for the past decade or so has been copypaste ecchi haremshit for moids with the most generic-ass plots ever (sometimes edgier than usual through the typical shitty combo of sex+gore). Even most isekai for women coming out right now is based on the same overused copy-paste premise of "isekai otome villainess" that's just a huge game of telephone going back to the first light novel that actually parodied otome games, so the more copies of this original parody released, the shittier this sub-genre gets. It's all "slop".
Some recent isekai are actually good and deserve attention, like Ascendance of a Bookworm, most of which are, coincidentally, created by and/or for women. But compared to the shitty kind of isekai, these are rare.
>>420456She meant "I wish anime studios dedicated the resources they're currently wasting on samey isekai slop to make shoujo adaptations instead". Retard.
No. 420619
>>420607Yeah, well, that's why I said "most". I know there are isekai anime aside from those two that are good, but my point is that they're rare. In fact, you could include 12 Kingdoms along with Escaflowne and Rayearth, we're probably missing a couple more.
>If an older isekai story is targeting a female audience like this one, Escaflowne and Magic Knight Rayearth it'll be better than today's garbage by default.Yeah, agreed.

This pissed me off so bad I dropped it kek. At least I was only 6 mins in. Even if the boy’s extreme deterioration in looks is the point to show how washed up he is, they could’ve at least given him non-neanderthal proportions. And have the girl age normally instead of that fuckass middle aged man/babyface girl sexual dimorphism.

>>424260Been considering doing the same, simply for the sense of accomplishment as a weeb kek but I've heard the VN(s?) are great but they have a lot of sex for it, apparently at the time the only way to get your VNs published or as much as noticed you more or less had to go for the porn angle. But maybe there are modded versions out there? Either way, the original fate VN is supposedly several hours long with varying routes so it's kinda up to how much time you want to spend on it.
Honestly I wish there was a way to read popular VNs on your phone because it's such a hassle to read them on the computer (looking at you higurashi). Would make getting into franchises like fate ten times easier if you could just bring them with you and read whenever.
No. 424722
>>424262For the vn you can either skip the h scenes in the og or just read the all ages version like the nonna above me said.
For the anime, you don't have to watch any of the lolishit, those are spin offs if you're talking about Fate kaleid or whatever it's called, you can just watch the og F/SN anime, the UBW anime and the Heaven's Feel movies, Fate/Zero (probably the easiest to get into for a newcomer, and it's a prequel to F/SN), the cooking spinoff show, etc.
No. 424784
>>424262If you like reading on your phone, you should get a steam deck! The Switch and Vita (rip) are pretty good for visual novels too.
On the topic of anime, I would say 99% of Fate stuff outside of the original VN are decent to boring. But, you should give it a shot if it interests you.

I've been trying to get into Gundam and was really feeling meh on the few episodes of Gundam shows I'd tried. Call me a dumb fujo but Wing finally got me. The first arc was mid but it picked up a lot. Everyone tells me to try Iron-Blooded Orphans but it seems a little too edgy from the descriptions. Is there a better one to try next? G Gundam is on my list because it seems like a good fun ridiculous time. I watched Unicorn and really didn't like it, if that helps narrow down my Gundam tastes.
