    At 69 I'm probably more of an Animedinosaur than an Animedragon. 🙂

    I discovered anime in 1996 while flicking through the TV channels looking for something interesting to watch, then found some anime on VHS in a local shop.

    The rest, as they say, is history.

    Encouraging to hear, as at this stage “outgrowing” anime doesn’t seem likely for me :P

    Miss Kuroitsu from the Monster Development Department. Concept wise a parody/satire of the Tokusatsu genre & the struggles of development/engineering in a corporate work culture. But it can be surprisingly heartfelt as well as funny, this week in particular. Seems to get better every week and my pleasant surprise (under rated) series of the season.

    Life With An Ordinary Guy Who Reincarnated Into A Total Fantasy Knockout next. 

    I’m currently watching that. It definitely has some funny moments scattered throughout.

    I saw Jujutsu Kaisen 0 at the movies thursday night. Similar to Demon Slayer Mugen Train, I feel like the tv series is better. The movies are more about the visual/audio spectacle than anything. Wasn’t really a fan of the MC either. But found it amusing how the younger Maki had more of tsundere streak to her. And of course Gojo remains a smartassÂ đŸ€Ł

    Curiously while it was the Sci-Fi shows that really got me into anime I tend more towards the slice of life shows these days.

    Sci-Fi was a pretty big influence in getting me into anime too. Star Blazers & Robotech were the 2 earliest series to really make an impact on me. That being said, I have yet to actually watch an entry in the Gundam franchise from start to finish (Iron Blooded Orphans was probably the closest I came). I have really been enjoying 86 though & consider it to be one of the better anime in recent years.

    Nowadays I tend to be drawn to series with a fantasy(D&D) or supernatural/paranormal angle to them. Slice of Life/CGDCT & comedy series tend to be hit or miss with me. Sports & Idol along with BL are probably the genres with the least appeal for me.

    Yes, and the Gunsmith Cats manga was rather more, shall we say "adult", than the anime version.

    Particularly Goldie’s arc.  On a similar note, recently put Part 6 of Lupin III on hold to start watching The Woman Called Fujiko Mine 😳 (at least the OP lets you know what to expect).

    And watched the penultimate episode of 86 (Eighty-six). Well worth the nearly 3 month hiatus. Looking forward to the finale next weekend. Though it’s unlikely to wrap-up everything, there may even be another season announced.  From the episode title, sounds like the focus will be on Lena, who didn’t get much screentime in the 2nd cour/season.

    I posted my top 10 anime series list a while back, so here's my top 10 anime movies.

    When it comes to anime, I have a definite preference for series over movies. Plus, I don’t seem to be as fond of Ghibli or highly dramatic/emotional stories (tearjerkers) as a lot of fans.  Nonetheless here’s some of my favorite anime movies

    ORIGINAL/Stand Alone

    Princess Mononoke

    Patema Inverted

    Children Who Chase Lost Voices

    Perfect Blue

    Black Fox

    Expelled From Paradise

    Mary & the Witch’s Flower

    Summer Wars

     

     

    SERIES/Franchise

    My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising

    Project A-ko

    Ranma 1/2: Nihao My Concubine

    Little Witch Academia: Enchanted Parade

    Lupin III: Castle of Cagliostro

    Dirty Pair: Project Eden

    Trigun: Badlands Rumble

    Violet Evergarden: The Movie

    Re:Zero Frozen Bond

    Galaxy Express 999

     

     

     

    Hey everybody!!

    Welcome to the forums, hope you enjoy it here 😁

    By “not mainstream” I assume you mean series that don’t get talked about very much. Some I enjoyed:

    Buso Renkin (shonen)

    Hakata Tonkatsu Ramens (violent/oddball cast of characters)

    Rune Soldier (D&D parody)

    Planet With (paranormal/scifi)

    Penguin Drum (drama/surreal)

    Beautiful Bones (mystery/dark)

    Watched episodes 0 - 2 of Lupin III pt 6 and am intrigued by the way they’re tying into the Sherlock Holmes mythos. I’d attempted to get into Pt 5 when it came out but didn’t care for the feel of it, liking this much better. Despite starting just last year, everything about the style has a retro vibe to it. The CGI for the car chases makes them kind of seem like toys/models, but also gives a sort of Keystone Kops slapstick sense. Watching the ED, couldn’t help but be struck by the similarities to Great Pretrnder’s
