MarathonGuy1337 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I recently just found out about the forum from a friend. Since I'm into anime I figured it be great to meet some like mind fellow men/women of culture and find out about any cool new or retro shows from other people with a similar interest. Basically I got into anime a few years back when going to college, watching a a couple different shows. Such as Space Battleship Yamato 2199, Neon Genesis Evangelion and Toradora! among a few others but got more into anime during the lock-down situation. I'm now into all sorts of anime; be them modern or retro, science fiction or slice of life, serious or comedic, long running or a short OVA. Looking forward to any suggestions for what to watch next! I can post a link to MyAnimeList if anyone's interested in any shows I've got under my belt so just ask and I'll post it. Peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohayotaku Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 (edited) Welcome to the forums, hope you enjoy it here I first got into anime watching Star Blazers which was the Americanized version of the series Space Battleship Yamato 2199 is an update of. I also recognize Captain Tylor from my anime on VHS days So, you can probably tell I’ve been around anime for a lonnnnnggg time My tastes are pretty varied but my favorite genres are probably fantasy & supernatural. You can link to your MAL account on your profile page if you want. There’s also a topic where you can post it https://animeforums.net/topic/10601-post-your-anime-list/page/4/#comments though I kinda derailed it recently (sorry, I’m a bit of a rambler) Hope you decide to stick around.

MarathonGuy1337 Posted December 5, 2021 Author Share Posted December 5, 2021 Yeah I recently watched both Captain Taylor and the OG Space Battleship Yamato, the later purely for comparisons sack to the remake which was the first Anime I watched and it was a pretty decent show, being like from 1974 or something.

MediaConsumesMe Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 @MarathonGuy1337Welcome to the forums buddy, I'd recommend anime for you but I already know what you're watching and what you like. But who knows you might get some good suggestions from some of the other Forum members, that aren't dark serious anime for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarathonGuy1337 Posted December 5, 2021 Author Share Posted December 5, 2021 Hopefully I really want some comedies like Outlaw Star, Captain Taylor or Slayers. Nice change of pace to what you always recommend, you know the sort of dark brooding intellectual shows like Ergo Proxy and whatever that last one you watched was called.

Ohayotaku Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 (edited) @MarathonGuy1337 Think I might be able to help you out For comedies similar to Slayers I recommend (Louie the) Rune Soldier, Konosuba, Gokudo & The Hero is Overpowered but Overly Cautious (Cautious Hero). For scifi comedies, maybe Coyote Ragtime Show (not an actual comedy, but kinda tongue in cheek). Legend of Black Heaven might work too. For straight up parodies/satire try Space Dandy & Space Battleship Tiramusu. Also, I’ve heard of a series called Lost Universe by the same writer as Slayers, but never watched it. Hopefully some of these will be to your liking. Edited December 6, 2021 by Ohayotaku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarathonGuy1337 Posted December 6, 2021 Author Share Posted December 6, 2021 You're Under Arrest uh I'll add it to MyAnimeList currently watching Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood and LOTGH (1988) OVA series so might take me awhile to get around to it.
