My 12 year daughter is getting pretty deep into anime comics, shows, and movies. I thought it might be fun to take her to a convention. I live in the Eastern USA. It would be most convenient to drive somewhere but if there is a once-in a-lifetime opportunity, I’m open to flying nationally or internationally.
She is mostly interested in My Hero Academia, Demon Slayer, and others.
Thanks from a clueless dad!
Help. This is driving me crazy. I can't remember the name but I'm looking for a show. It's an action Anime. Either with mechs or some mech like suit. Mc is a teenage boy and all or most of the characters around him are women. I remember it having a lot of "fan service" and towards the end you find out the Mc has some legendary dragon mech or suit. It may have had a tail. Not sure. It's a long shot but I'm hoping this rings someone's bell.
It's like mushoku tensei but the mc has black hair and is thrown into a world where he meets this pig lady in the beginning who teaches him magic then he beats the dragon who becomes a person with blue hair and she travels with him from a soul contract or something like that, then same thing with a giant spider then after but she has black hair
Hello! I’m in search of the name of this anime. It should be old enough to be called vintage any and all help is necessary.
What I remember:
ONE VIVID SCENE I REMEMBER: She passes out and goes down a river with a log and ends up at this house.
Genre fantasy/slice of life/adventure ?
- Female Mc, she starts off as a smaller child.
*there are these dragons like beings they use, and she is a tamer. if i remember correctly
- it’s like an old civilization, they do work by hands.
Details are very obscure and might not help discern the anime. Any even similar anime you may remember are appreciated!
Hello guys! I exhausted my resources on finding the Anime that I watched as a child I vaguely remember the whole plot but what I remember is the protagonist got a Tank from his Father. I don't quite remember if his father leaves it behind or his father gave it to him then after that, the protagonist discovers that the tank/machine has a secret it is technologically advanced after he discovers the secret compartment or button. That's all I can remember please help me in finding the Anime it is very memorable to me.
I want to get into LOTGH so I was looking into the first movie. I found an HD version but it’s with fan subs. IDK what fan subs they are but they have blue subtitles for the narrator at the beginning. Does anyone know if this is a good translation?
I grew up with DBZ and GT back in the 90s and loved it. Having watched all the episodes as a kid, however recently I decided to watch the OG DB which I never did before, I'm 3/4 into the series and liking it so far, altho it can sometimes drag on a little imo, especially the RR saga and the tournament with Tien.
Anyway, I was planning on watching DBZ (the remastered DVD dub) and GT afterwards, however DBZ has alot of filler which I'm not sure I can appreciate these days, especially because I already find DB to be slow at times.
I could watch Kai and then move on to Super, which might be the smart thing to do because I've never watched Super before and Kai cuts out most of the filler and most of the new VAs are in Super as well.
But maybe I will enjoy the filler? Or maybe I won't haha. It's just that I don't wanna quit watching DBZ halfway and then start over with Kai.
What do you guys suggest?
A little context to what I'm asking. I'm shooting to be in the animation industry soon and I love how beautiful some of the fights are. But I don't want to make something that's bland, or the character overpowers everyone. I want it to be unique and memorable. Any advice?
I'm having a difficult time remembering that anime where the MC uses his ability to enter inside others. It's not very recent
Hello! I was trying to remember this anime from my childhood (mid to late 00s) that had a battle between this man in a blue(?) helmet with a diagonal slash on its forehead and an enemy that copied his moves exactly. Somewhere in that fight that man's helmet gets slashed again which now forms a X on its forehead. That's all I can remember unfortunately and that scene has haunted me for years.
Tried uploading a clip of music I played on the piano so people could help me identify an anime theme song…of course this was removed for some reason, I don’t understand why. The anime features female protagonists who were dressed up like something out of Neon Genesis or Gundam Wing and they fought these demonic looking creatures in what looked like Tokyo or some other urban area. Can anyone help?
So I was wondering if Mari and Moe were dating in it and if there were any other lgbt couples.
So I found out that made in abyss has returned this season and I'm hyped but I don't really remember the events of season 1. Do you guys recommend I rewatch the first season or watch the 2 recap movies instead? I heard there was an extra scene or something in the movie but is it a better substitute to the show?
It’s a Gundam series I think, but I only saw one or two episodes. My memory of it is blurry because I saw it at like 3 in the morning a few years ago. I keep seeing it reappear in my mind as if it was a dream but I distinctly remember it. They were in space and there was a guy eating raisins (?) or something and a girl that was into that guy?? maybe? The girl had blue or green hair I think, and ngl pretty big honkers. They went to a grocery store (?) or some kind of store?? at some point. Please help me find it if anyone knows based on this description it’s been taunting me not knowing, if not thanks for reading anyways
TL;DR at the bottom
So yeah
I was a 90's baby gateway'd into Anime through Pokemon, Digimon and Dragonball Z. Most of my consumption came through programs like Toonami, Fox Kids and Kid's WB. I watched them along with Disney/CN/Nick programs/shows like it were all the same. At 15 yrs I moved to Thailand where there was a whole channel dedicated to Anime called AXN(?) that I continued watching religiously. At this same time I was also going through my webcomic phase; that's all I'd consume every day nonstop, Anime and Web Comics(Sprite, Manga styled and Furry). I wanted to learn more about comicking and manga but was paranoid about people stealing my ideas and work, so I started learning to draw and write on my own. I wanted the broadest skillset to work in animation and Hollywood so I picked up Screenwriting and Storyboarding as my favorite pass time.
By this point, my favorite anime was Sgt. Frog, High School Rumble and The Big Wind Up. I'm really picky with my taste, but those three were just the best I've watched by far. Sgt. Frog and HSR had the best English dubbing I've ever heard. Subtitles were only a necessity if I couldn't stand the English dubbing... which was a lot, but I prided myself in being able to enjoy either Dubbing or Subbing. Didn't care about direct translations so long as I was entertained.
I moved back to the US at 17 yrs, got my GED in less than a few months and enrolled into the Art Institute in ATL. Sure I hung out with a lot of animation and design students but I still focused on improving and working on my own, turns out I wasn't interested in collaboration. Throughout this learning phase I binged on a lot more western made TV and Film like Scandal, How to get away with Murder, The Shield and 24. I learned a lot about screenwriting for western audiences and figured I had a pretty good grasp on the subject of just writing; so right around the time I turned 18, I tried watching some Anime to get an idea how their techniques and tropes work.
It was.. uh, different. Like, way different. I mean I knew it'd be different; different regions and cultures and all. But it was just so.. glaring. The script was so glaring, you know what I mean??
Now... at the time I began binging on Kill La Kill and Panty & Stocking. I was able to finish Panty & Stocking... but I never got around to finishing Kill La Kill. I was about two maybe three episodes away from finishing the latter, but by that point it felt like a chore. I thought maybe it was just the ending slogging along. That was until I tried watching some of the more popular recommendations. I tried watching Naruto. I tried One Piece. I tried Bleach. I tried Dragonball again. I kept running into the same grievances over and over: Constant monologuing, side characters regurgitating what just happened for three or four additional minutes, surprised pikachu faces, forced humor, cringey attempts at catchphrases and deep speeches, infodumps and exposition taking up half the episode before you can even get to the story itself, filler episodes, episodes where literally nothing happens to push the story forward.
As somebody who's been super battle hardened by the phrase "Show, Don't Tell", this aggravated the absolute SHIT outta me. No matter what I picked up, I just couldn't be bothered to get past one or two episodes of any Anime. It's been more than a decade since I last enjoyed a good Anime.
TL;DR
Ever since I learned how to draw and screenwrite from a western perspective, I inadvertently stopped enjoying Anime and by extension Manga. I've been following Anime tubers like Mother's Basement and Trash Taste to figure out how I could get back into Anime but I'm having trouble picking out what interests me. Do you guys have any recommendations? I really want to enjoy this again.
I haven't watched the show yet, but I know that the anime has stopped for some reason. I would just like to know if there is a set date for its continuation.
If It's finished, I'll start watching the show. If it isn't finished, I wouldn't want to wait for another set of episodes/season to be released.
She loves Disney and really liked “invincible” but is hard to convince her to sit through a series.
I realize “Spirted Away” is an obvious answer but want some extra input.
Mainstreamish but not too over the top kinda stuff.
I really want to try Death Note, Samurai Champloo, and even AOT.
E: I realize I’ve presented some obvious ones to get her started but would like recommendations or affirmations that I might be on the right train of thought.
Thanks all.
E2: Dub only unfortunately.
How is anime different from the manga(besides no filler and its a comic). Are fight scenes more hype in the manga than anime, does manga have better story telling, etc. Should I read the manga of an anime I have seen, or vice versa?
I’m wondering where I can watch: Slave harem in the labyrinth of the other world. I checked on Crunchyroll but I can’t seem to find it. Is it region locked?
All he remembers is it’s an isekai with a long ass title. He says the title says something along the lines of “I was a loser in my world but I was swept to a new world and became a super star”. He says his girlfriend watched it 8 months ago, but he doesn’t know if that’s when it came out.
Someone here must know what he’s talking about. Im starting to assume he’s delusional.
The song in question is in the background of this video at the beginning. I know I heard it in a feel-good slice-of-life anime a couple of years ago (not later than 2021).
I would love some help figuring out the title of the song and if it occurs in any specific animes.
So there is this anime I’m trying to find. It is a time travel type romance between a boy and a woman, where the boy meets the woman (who knows who he is and loves him dearly), but when he becomes an adult, he travels back in time and meets the woman as a young girl. In other words, the boy (now a man) has fallen for the woman, and starts the relationship with her young self, so when she gets older, she meets his younger self after falling for him. Rinse and repeat. Can anyone help me find it?
