Ask Lemmy

I’m surprised no one has mentioned The Wire. A TVshow taking place in Baltimore about intricate relationship between drug dealers, police and politics. Love every part of it!

It’s shot in 4:3 aspect ratio despite 16:9 starting to become the standard for tv at the time. It’s has since been “remastered” and adjusted to 16:9 aspect ratio. I was worried it would ruin an already perfect show but I actually liked it. It’s an HBO show.

Long episodes (60min?) and might take a few episodes to get into as there are many characters and storylines that interlace.

Thanks be later, probably.

Everybody kind of slept on it but I really like AppleTV's See. Really unfortunate name for a pretty interesting premise, and the fight scenes are brutal and very well shot.

Bloom into you, the only anime that existed in my head

Extraordinary Attorney Woo - A Netflix K-drama about an autistic savant lawyer. It's charming, funny, and has a really beautiful story overall.

Bofuri: I Don't Want To Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense - a cute and fun anime about Maple, who doesn't want to get hurt in a VR MMO so she maxes her defense and becomes a hero.

I like light-hearted shows, so I'll be checking out a few of the ones in this thread 🙂

• Frieren — fantasy, drama about an elf dealing with feelings she didn’t think she had
• Delicious in Dungeon — Fantasy, comedy/light drama about rescuing a party member and eating monsters along the way.
• Kaguya Sama — rom-com about not losing the love war
• Konosuba — Isekai comedy about… nothing really
• That Time I was Reincarnated as a Slime — Isekai about being reincarnated as a slime monster, then building a wonderful found family community of monsters.

They’re all pretty light hearted but all are well made and fun.

Monster

74 episodes. Psychological thriller. Serial murder mystery, but instead of "whodunit?" it's "whydunit?". Dramatic as an opera. No weird tropes. Superb character development. I love Magnificent Steiner.

Jellyfish can't swim at night

Frieren for anime - It has everything I love about anime.
MASH for TV show (version without laugh tracks) - Kind of old, but even now, the humor is not outdated.

I like watching Trigun, Clannad, Blood+ but I also really reccomend people read some Manga:

• Tank Chair by Yashiro Manabu

• Elfen Leid by Okamoto Lynn (also has an anime, but different endings)

• Moto Shogun no Undead Knight by Shuko and Necoco

• Dandadan by Yukinobu Tatsu (manga announced)

• You Will Hear the Voice of the Dead by Uguiso Sachiko

• Dai Dark by Q Hayashida

Nichijou, Higurashi, Oregairu, Steins;Gate, SAO (season 1), Clannad, Naruto, Fruits Basket (?), Death Note, A Silent Voice, Ghibli Studio animes,

Alchemy of Souls on Netflix. A mix of Kung Fu Theater, a comedy, a love story, and a horror all rolled into one great story. It ran two seasons and each episode is over an hour long. 10/10

Psych. All time favorite show.

There's a ton of anime that I *might* recommend to different people, depending on individual preferences and tastes:

But the one that I come closest to recommending everyone, without qualification, would be:

"Keep Your Hands off Eizouken"

It's basically a love letter to:

* joys and challenges in the process of creative collaboration
* how each success begets further goals
* how reflecting on details and oddities of the world adds to art

#Anime

Pantheon.

Really thoughtful and smart sci-fi animation. Don't want to spoil it so I'll be vague, it has the most realistic depiction of modern tech and how people interact with it than any other show I've seen. Really great commentary on big tech corporations and even a bit of geopolitics. Super ambitious yet it somehow pulls it off.

There is also a scene that still gives me nightmares (not even joking, I still dream about that shit) which is more than any horror movies or shows have done for me. Anyone who has watched it knows exactly what scene I'm talking about.
