#Bubuki Buranki

[evilbalwan]

Bubuki Buranki isn't really an old anime (2016), unfortunately it was really hard to watch. I don't mean its animation, which was experimental at the time and tbh, they did a great job - but plot and characters.

I saw somebody saying it's really great, but, um, there are better mecha shows trust me.

[fugafromtheworld]

imagine thinking this from the puss in boot 2 movie lmao.

people thinking the only indicator of good animation is it being 60 fps, its like anime fans thinking any cgi in anime makes the animation bad, they need to learn a few things and they arent ready for this discussion

I'm so glad I was waaaaay off on my prediction that I'd be the only one watching Girls Band Cry...

Alright, finished the first episode of Girls Band Cry.

I suppose I should start with the important bit first: This show hasn't actually been picked up by any streaming sites in NA. So unfortunately, there's no official way to watch it subbed without taking to the seas and such. It's been a long time since I've seen a series just fall through the cracks tbh. And It doubly sucks for this series since I really enjoyed the first episode and thought it has some potential as a show. While the models themselves could def be a bit higher quality, the actual animation of the characters themselves were fluid af. Easily up there with something from Studio Orange in terms of crisp CG movement and expressiveness. Solid enough start as a series though I suspect I'll basically be the only person watching this due to it not having official licensing and the general aversion to CG anime weebs have... God, this is going to be another BBK/BRNK for me, isn't it?... Also I suspect I'm going to be gaining a large collection of anime girls flipping the bird by the end of this anime...

[tlaquetzqui]

Although the unflappable girlboss makes a terrible protagonist, she makes an excellent antivillain. Think, like, Reoko in Bubuki Buranki or Satsuki in Kill La Kill. (The closest a protagonist can get to that is Samus Aran, and she doesn’t lay down the law about her own girlboss-ness, the way Satsuki and Reoko so. She just quietly rolls with whatever trouble comes her way, like Batman or Master Chief.)

[justintaco]

i've watched the zombie one, the coffin one, the "lava makes them immortal" one, what's another weird or niche show you can throw at folks as a potential recommendation?

Hmmmm good question...

Re:Creators

None of these shows were chosen with any criteria, enjoy.

[chaussurre]

Isn't that the lore of bubuki buranki ? I had seen it years ago so I don't really remember most of it, but I remember something along the lines of mechs that used to live in liberty on a floating island until they fell or something

Is this anything

TOP 10 ANIME (that I've seen) IN 2021)

Just like the title suggests, this is a list of the anime I've seen during 2021 and are not necessarily ones that came out that year. My hope in doing lists like these is to provide recommendations for any anime of any year. Here we go!

(Holy crap, my is sort of on time this year!)

Honorable Mentions: K-On!!, Beastars S2

10. When Supernatural Battles Became Commonplace (2014)

I could be simplistic and just say that this is a harem show where the main protag is a chuunibyo...but that's exactly what it is. Unfortunately, this show falls to the bottom of the list because it's one of those shows that's more of a commercial for the original source material and it ends before the actual plot starts without a second season. Why recommend it? Well, I will give points for the protag for not being a complete idiot, the animation/character designs are pleasant, and the concept of having someone make believe they have powers then suddenly having them is pretty humorous. Plus, there's a good chance that you have seen a clip from this show without realizing it. This show is the home this scene.

9. Seitokai Yakuindomo S1 (2010)

This show only has one joke. That joke being: what if high school girls were openly perverted? And it's a joke that lands every time. I'll admit it, I enjoyed myself. It's kind of a breath of fresh air having a whole cast of female characters be openly expressive with things of a sexual nature. Sure, there have been harems where, typically, an older woman is more direct with her approach, but for high school girls to have no shame in exploring these kind of things? If it weren't mostly played for laughs, I'd call it a game changer. Even so, I can't wait to start season two this year.

8. Bubuki Buranki (2016)

I can't even be sure if I like the show this much, but I'm pretty sure Bubuki Buranki is this high up mostly on style points. I'll bring up the elephant in the room: this is a 3D anime (but a 3D anime done well). Character models move around just fine for casual scenes, but is turned up a few notches for the battle choreography! As for story, the set up is paced just fine, but then slams on the gas pedal and never lets up. The show reminded me of the early years of RWBY where the fight scenes were the main draw. If all style shows appeal to you, I'd recommend this one. It even has two seasons!

7. Joshiraku (2012)

Based off a gag comic, Joshiraku is a series about cute girls performing in a style of a one person theatre known as Rakugo. While I did have fun watching Joshiraku, I'll be honest and say that it's hard for me to suggest it. There's nothing overly wrong with it, the color palette is very pleasing and the humor goes over well. The best way I can put this is to paraphrase a friend of mine, "It's very Japanese." Again, there's nothing wrong with that, but if you are relatively new to the anime scene, this probably won't appeal to you. If you want to give it a shot anyway, I'd say go for it. If you're a seasoned weeb that hasn't seen this yet, definitely seek it out!

6. Higehiro (2021)

Higehiro is about a young man in his 20s who takes in a runaway high school and helps her get her on the right path and deals with her past. I wish I could bring myself to rank this higher. At the heart of it, the series is really touching and shows that there are still people, albeit rare, that can/will help you out of the goodness of their heart. On the other hand, this show had a habit of picking ill-timed camera angles and framing for certain moments that felt icky. If you're able to ignore those moments and focus on the wholesome parts, give it a watch. If you can't settle for anything less than 100% wholesome, I completely understand.

5. Demon Slayer (2019)

When it comes to my approach of popular shows, I usually wait until most of the hype dies down before I watch them. With that said, being able to watch with clear eyes unaffected by hype:

it's fine. Just fine.

Yes, Ufotable knocks it out of the park once again with its animation. Yes, most of the characters are fun and likable. And yet, I enjoyed just fine. I honestly don't know what it is, but I just wasn't blown away. Still looking forward to the next arc, though.

4. O Maidens in Your Savage Season (2019)

Watching a show about high school girls going through their own sexual awakening as a dude, gotta say, I've learned a lot. Not saying I'm an expert, but definitely have a better understanding now than I did beforehand. To further establish my lack of expertise, I'll just give it a high recommendation before I say anything that shows my ignorance.

3. Records of Grancrest War (2018)

This was the show that got me mad. Not at the show itself, but rather at the several people in the anime community who didn't watch this. I'm not one who's all in on waifu culture, but all y'all slept on this anime! Yes, the waifu game is strong here, but it also has decent animation, large-scale battles, political drama, and allegiances that change! Please check this out. Being three years late is better than never!

2. Den-noh Coil (2007)

This was an anime that had been stuck on my "Want to Watch" list for YEARS, but finally gave it a watch after I found the whole show on Blu-ray for a good deal! Den-noh Coil takes place in an alternate world where people wear glasses that not only connects to the internet, but allows interactive augmented reality. However, this technology isn't perfect, in fact, it's actually kind of sketchy. It's a sci-fi and supernatural story being led by a group of young girls, which is a combination I don't see often. It's a fun series that surprised me quite a bit and I hope it can surprise you, too!

1. HoriMiya (2021)

SCREW. BECOMING. A. COUPLE. AT. THE. END.

I want more romance shows that establishes a couple in the first few episodes and shows their growth throughout! Don't get me wrong, I understand the "Will they/won't they" model because it's a tried and true method to tease the audience to come back for more. But when shows like HoriMiya write relationships, it's so much more satisfying. Ahem, sorry. Yes, for all the reasons I just said as well as comedy with great timing, this was my favorite anime I saw in 2021.

[tlaquetzqui]

Or, there are no rules. 99% of the time coming back after a sacrifice just cheapens it, and then to compound that by having them whine and angst like Lifetime movie characters? Nah it’s better to have them return to business as usual.

In Bubuki/Buranki when it looks like Reoko’s Four Heavenly Kings got killed protecting the Treasure Island, it works much better to just have Matobai show up—and then just say “What? No those idiots didn’t get killed, they’re fine. You’ll even see them soon, you just might not know it with illusion-girl.”

Also I mean Gandalf comes back better because what he lost fighting the Balrog was a garment—because he’s the same thing as a Balrog. Or Sauron. The Ainur are only qualifiedly physical beings, their bodies are more like specialized gear and losing them is just a nuisance. So Manwe said “Okay Olórin we need you to replace Curunír, so this time bring a body that can manifest more of your power.” (When Balrogs or dragons, or Sauron and Saruman in Return of the King, get killed, they only stay dead because the defeat broke their will to continue troubling Arda. Melkor had to be imprisoned beyond the Door of Night to stop him from coming back, and he’s still gonna get out of that, at the Dagor Dagorath.)

Remember kiddos (and writers-)

If the character comes back post self sacrifice, that’s okay!

If they come back completely recovered after a sacrifice- that’s the problem.

They cannot return as the same character they once were.

Take their limbs, take their pride, take their voice, their eyes, their brain.

They are NOT to return the same.

They are to fear something, they are to cry. They are to hold it in, and decompose because they cannot express that relentless and overwhelming vulnerability that has ripped their mind to shreads.

They are to shake when standing still, they are to sleep on their side because and any other way is too painful for their memories.

They are not to be the same.

Much less better.

relics of a past civilization overgrown with nature is such a good aes

[brutalfish]

Yo, have you seen Bubuki Buranki by chance? imo it's really good, but especially so because of the villains- which seems up your alley! Premise is: there's Zombie Mechs, the protag is the child of a witch, and his mom has bad history with an aggressive dictator who violently took over the world and molded public opinion against her. That's like all I can say without spoilers- but the dictator and her team are super interesting and tragic

Oh! No, I’ve never even heard of this series before! It sounds interesting, I’ll add this to my list of things to check out! Thank you for the rec! ;w;
