You probably won't like Paprika then, Satoshi Kon's style is a bit out there Rounding wise, it's good enough to be considered a good movie, but I disliked the character designs and the fact that how can one be confused when looking at that fat Rumi? The first 30 minutes were pretty boring too as it was trying to set up |

Thinking I'll check out The Rose of Versailles, been on my list for a long time. Probably should finish up some of the other shows I started but I feel like checking out something different.

Changed my mind, decided to start Akage no Anne since I already had it downloaded. Only 6 episodes in and I'm already considering where it's gonna land on my all time list, surprised by how great it's been.  |

Gonna start Macross after finishing Anne. How are you going to watch it? It's a mess last I remembered. I'm just gonna start with the very first season that came out, so Super Dimensional Fortress Macross. After that I'll see if I'm interested in checking out more of it. |

Someone's been making the effort to translate "Stop Hibari-kun!". I enjoyed the manga, reminded me of dr slump a little in it's style. I'll probably check it out once all the episodes are completely translated.

A couple of things I don't like is the "breathing" track and the voice for pale

Space Runaway Ideon starts pretty strong. Mech design looks a bit silly by todays standards though.

The music of Ideon is definitely it's biggest strength. Certain tracks have a real 2001 space odyssey feel to them.

Just finished Ideon: Be Invoked, my mind is still reeling. This series was a trip, the first half tended to be less exciting but as they began to unlock more of the ide's potential it got progressively more interesting. The movie really is the main draw though, the entire ending was a total mindfuck. Definitely worth checking out. The animation of the series hasn't aged well but it was an interesting experience.

Started Initial D on a whim last night, ended up watching the first 5 episodes. That CG sure hasn't aged well but it doesn't hold it back too much.

Initial D ended up being a lot better then I expected to be. I don't know if it's on your ptw list Hellfire Missile Pack but it absolutely should be. |

Initial D ended up being a lot better then I expected to be. I don't know if it's on your ptw list Killbot (☞ﾟ∀ﾟ)☞ _|¯RIP¯|_ but it absolutely should be. I was thinking maybe since I recognized it from a Gintama parody. I am hesitant though because it's not in the levels of Redline in animation and I am not a big car guy. If we're talking about cool chases like the bicycle vs car race scene in Golden Boy, then I like it. I am thinking it's more along of the lines of GTO : Onizuka's race against the sister of some mob. You got me curious. Anything that made you think I would like it? |

Gonna start up Macross Plus once I'm finished up with Seirei no Moribito. Do you have a better experience with Macross or Gundam? Just curious. 2018 gonna be my retro year, so hopefully I can help keep this thread to a two man team rather than one. |

Almost feels like more of a shonen battle series in it's approach to races. It's fun to watch Takumi realize his full potential as the series progresses. |

I've only seen one from each, Macross first season and Gundum War in the Pocket. Mobile Suit Gundam is on my list yet, I'll check it out eventually. |

Macross Plus is one of the most visually impressive anime I've ever seen from an animation standpoint.
