Highly critically acclaimed, and in a way uses the relative innocence expected of the Magical Girl genre to counterpoint the heavy themes it explores. Like, Game of Thrones levels of 'anybody can die a grisly death', apparently. Apparently lots of physical violence in there, though I've not made it much past the introductory episodes, so I can't say for certain (I don't watch Anime all that religiously, okay?) Second is actually Pretty Cure- noted for being a MGA where the titular characters just beat the everloving shizznap out of the bad guys, instead of doing the whole 'sparkly love ray' stuff most others do. The second and third seasons/series just take the action and story to crazy levels. The first season starts off slow (almost identical to Cardcaptor Sakura, actually) but if you pay attention, you'll start noticing interesting little details about a much darker storyline than you'd first expect. One, that's only really Magical Girl by dint of it being about, well, Magical Girls (with transformation sequences, natch) is Lyrical Nanoha- which is actually best described as "A Super-Robot/Gundam show disguised as Magical Girl Anime". However, there are some gems out there in the Magical Girl genre. Watching Crystal myself, just for something 'light' where I don't really care about missing half the episode due to playing Minecraft. The embellished sparks from the swords hitting each other was a cool effect too. The sword fight in this weeks episode was nicely animated, much better than the previous action scenes. That dude had jewels embedded into his hands.But ya there could be no magic, would be interesting. The next ep's preview looks promising enough in the story department too, hopefully we'll get some more info about the plan to take down the big bad boss they are headed to. "Normal" harems kinda bore me (unless they are absolutely bat gak crazy hilarious like the one in "Mangaka-San to Assistant-San") but this one?! This one is absolutely crazy ![]() And one big lover of plastic modelsĪnd BONUS points for Granny! That woman is awesome: Researcher, badass, and still has enough time to help her granddaughter get a date. and pretty much the major strategist of the entire ship. 10 fingers in one hand, damn, that cyborg arm is awesome. One was originally a member of the third sex that only now shifted to female and is pretty much a cyborg with that tech on her. One the "girls" is either a tentacle or a giant monstrosity the size of a mech (that blushed! Oh my, how I felt all happy inside with that blush ) Then for the rest of the episode never mentioned it again and spent the entire thing on the trio of girls passive aggressively competing for the main dude. Started the next episode with a repeat of that scene. They cliffhangered an episode with horrible deaths of a lot of off ship people. A nice grounded one so far other than this one guy. Otherwise you should regret dropping Arslan, it's been pretty good. It's heavy implied it's magic, but he could be faking it. Get back to this one after watching a number of the other series.ĪduroT wrote: Well for the record we don't Know they have magic in Arslan, just talking to one guy who claims to have made the fog in the big battle and seems to have a crystal ball that told him about someone's death. ![]() I would recommend Gundam Build FIghters based on the target rating, but would expect someone to be lost starting with this. If you're like me and you dig super robots, G Gundam is ridiculous, tongue-in-cheek fun and fits in the sub-M range. I really enjoy Gundam 00 all around, as well, which is in another timeline. Gundam SEED is not one of my favorites, but has some interesting mech design but I agree with the above sentiment that SEED Destiny was g'awful. The previously mentioned Gundam Unicorn takes place in this timeline and so do many of the short series and movies (<3 Char's Counterattack). If you enjoy it, many of the other series take place in the same universe. One of your best bets may be checking out the original series, Mobile Suit Gundam, considering it's target demographic and the era of its release. Most of the sub-M series, especially dubbed, are considered not good. The Gundam property is notorious for it's overarching theme of the horrors of war.
