If you come in here looking for "anime recommendations" then please refer to this chart before posting: Anime Recommendations (as of may 2014). We also have an IRC channel called #tladt where we all hang out. The channel is on Rizon, not QuakeNet! Feel free to check it out. TLADT discord is Discord.gg

my top7 (7 because starting at #8 I get a rating of 8 or lower)

[image loading]

NGNL is probably more of a 8.5 but I'd rate it better than Hanamonogatari/Nisemonogatari/Neko kuro which all are on 8 for me tbh

Not surprised in the least, both are very good animes which people often recommend to others that haven't watched many animes. My favourite however is Hunter x Hunter 2011 by far. I wish it would be getting continued... >_<

Ninja Slayer: I'm sorry, I just can't.

Reminded me of a game I had 10 years ago which allowed to make "movies" with a background and some 2D periodic sprites (essentially gifs) of comics characters like Spiderman. It really produced the same results.

Ok I found the game, it was 20 years ago actually xD. Look at this shit and tell me this isn't the same thing.


Oh wow. I thought about watching Ninja Slayer but if it's really like that...

Just watched GitS:Innocence with a friend. Quite a let down compared to the first movie. It was fine overall but the story telling was incredibly weak imho. The use of surreal picture frames for "story-telling" didn't blend in well with the use of repeats/blends when they tried to show of hacking/mind manipulation. It was very confusing at times. The movie also had a lot of plot holes and loose ends. E.g. things like the firma and the hacker weren't really explained in detail and neither was their connection. It felt like they just took a number of plot points without trying to connect them properly. I also didn't like the excessive use of CGI, even if it was done well for the most part. They also threw in some some random action and melo-dramatic scenes.

After the first movie I was pretty hyped for the SAC series but now I don't know anymore. Is SAC more like the first movie or more like the second one?


That's what you get for watching out of order! Innocence and SSS movies are after events of both SAC seasons, so you skipped 50 ep of event, no wonder it makes no sense. But SAC are much better. All movies except first one are pretty meh.


Uh? I basically read beforehand what most people are saying in this thread: SAC, the movies and Arise are all unrelated by plot. I also looked for a recommended order to watch. The internet told me it doesn't matter, my friend recommended me to watch the movies first. Since I also support watching shows/movies in the order they came to be, I thought watching the movies first was a good idea. And as said a few days ago, I thought the first GitS movie was great and I obviously didn't have any knowledge back then, either.

Well anyways, I'm glad to hear that SAC is considered to be better than the movies. Guess I wil start with the first season pretty soon then.


The order is First movie > SAC > SAC2 > Innocence > SSS. The plots are not directly related, but Innocence and SSS assume you knows the world setting that was established in the franchise. Like you can watch Gundam Unicorn without watching any other UC series, but you will get much more out of it if you do. First movie is the very first release of the entire thing so of course you don't need any knowledge of it.

The movies, Stand Alone Complex and Arise are completely unconnected with one another.


That's like saying Unicorn and original Gundam are completely unconnected. And Arise is definitely connected, as Arise (character design aside) is direct prequel. Heck, the knock against Arise is that it's just Major runs around looking for section 9 members RPG style. It's the same F/Z F/SN argument, production order is usually best order, as later additions tends to assume prior knowledge.


It is not a direct prequel. I'm not sure where you getting your information from honestly. Arise is a "reimagining" of Ghost in the Shell starting at how section 9 formed. It's not a prequel to the movies or SAC. Innocence is a direct sequel to the First movie and isn't related to SAC/SAC2/SSS. SSS is a direct sequel to SAC2. None of this is at all like F/Z to F/SN argument. These are 3 separate directors interpretations of Ghost in the Shell that are not connected. F/Z is a direct prequel to F/SN not a separate entity.

The actual order is as follows:

First Movie -> Innocence
SAC -> SAC2 -> SSS
Arise.

Having prior knowledge may make certain aspects of each entity more enjoyable but that's a completely different story than saying they are connected. The only connection they share is that they are all interpretations of the original Ghost in the Shell manga.


I'm not talking about story timeline, but production timeline. In a vacuum you are right, that they are not related. But since he doesn't live in a vacuum and he is watching both movies and SAC, it matters that Innocence is produced with prior knowledge of SAC, just like SAC is produced with prior knowledge of original movie.

Arise can say it's a "re-imagination", but if that's the case it has a really poor imagination, because all it achieved is providing background to already established characters without being able to stand on its own. Watch Arise without any prior gits all you would find is a incoherent mess that looked grand but achieved very little, which is the same problem Innocence had.

Well yea Arise is an incoherent mess even with background knowledge though. How did they mess up so badly I'll never understand. Seems like the tv series cut of it is an even bigger mess. Doesn't bode well for any more GitS in the future

Ragz, if I understand you correctly, a better comparison might be something like watching Turn A Gundam or Gundam X before the original Gundam? Because Unicorn is definitely on the same timeline as the original.

Eh, kind of, but in term of closeness it's much closer to unicorn than turn A, as they are still same character with same characteristics.

Arise had so much potential... oh well

Nope. All original material since halfway through lesbian runaway arc. TBH anime is better than novel, which is rather meh besides art.

Oh wow, so many people here are putting Katanagatari as their favourite. Hadn't expect this when I read the description. I planned on watching it for a long time now, too, but as always: Too many things to watch and not enough time. :/

Agreed, HxH 2011 would undoubtedly be my favourite anime of all time and I'm pretty sad that it probably isn't going to be continued, or even if it will be continued it will at least take 2 years or so until it starts again.

Oh dam. I really enjoyed the last segment too. The whole plot with her dad was cool and the Nebula race was hilarious.

Ugh, I think I'll like DanMachi less than I thought. + Show Spoiler [Episode 3] +
Hestia is fairly obnoxious for me. Too many emotions for me so far for people I don't really feel invested to yet. Will see how the show continues though, it's not bad but I hoped to like it more, considering I like animes of that genre usually.


On the other hand: SHOKUGEKI NO SOMA AOTS EASILY! :D
