Posted by Orphic Okapi on 12.20.2013, 02:42 AM: I would second Saddletank’s recommendation of Haibane Renmei, since it’s one of my top five favorite anime of all time, except it doesn’t qualify as a blockbuster on any front. It’s almost the exact opposite of everything that “blockbuster” typically implies. Two other anime that haven’t been recommended yet, Kino’s Journey and Mushi-shi, are of very high artistic quality and totally free of fan service, but not very blockbustery either. Kino’s Journey does have some intermittent science fiction elements, so that might be more up your alley.

In any case, Utena is very dramatic and complex, and features swordfighting in most episodes, so if you want excitement it's certainly there. But it's a long one so if it's not up your street then maybe you shouldn't, but I think it's worth giving a chance.

Posted by saviour2012 on 05.30.2016, 08:08 AM: After another year it is time to update my watched anime list here
|
Posted by Saddletank on 05.30.2016, 10:18 AM: 1. Jojo

Posted by arren18 on 05.30.2016, 11:07 AM: I haven't seen everything from that to-watch list, but it sounds pretty good to me. From what you've enjoyed before, I'd be a bit surprised if you ended up disliking any of them.

Posted by Saddletank on 09.27.2016, 04:42 AM: Mushi-shi is based on one major folk tale but the mangaka wove into the main story other folk tales or simply inspirations and episodes of their own life which you can pick up by its episodic nature.
|
Posted by husky51 on 09.27.2016, 12:10 PM: I will have to find my copy of the tale and I may have the name wrong or mis-remembered then as it certainly doesn't jibe with your links.
|
Posted by Saddletank on 09.27.2016, 12:27 PM: Those links are not exhaustive. I have not read the manga but the mangaka apparently closes each story with a footnote about the source inspiration. Some are Japanese folk tales, some are more generic beliefs or myths and some are things from his/her own life that have inspired the story.

Posted by makc on 09.27.2016, 06:26 PM: is there a thread like this where suggestions are NOT series?
