I was curious and found out Pupa is 16th from the bottom in terms of rankings on MAL.

I know what I'm watching next.

I'm starting to realize that Idea Factory is the worst animation studio ever.

I don't know how they came out with the Neptunia show, which was at least decent for what it was.

Their next highest show is rated a 5.91, and that's Diabolik Lovers.


Oh okay they're a game dev company that has an anime branch. That makes sense.

[Deleted]

Oh, I was down for the weird lol Knowing me, I likely stopped watching when things started getting really good >_> I should pick it back up at some point.

Admittedly it is very slow, but that never bothered me in any way. First several episodes are tame and very normal when compared to the shit happening in latter half. ^.^

The funny thing is Neptunia show was done by David productions while they were taking breaks from Jojo.

I'll keep compiling the list for another day or two before creating the poll.

When you make the poll I'd suggest just consolidating the Fate shows as a single entry, since the doc has that "what is the Fate series and where should I start?" thing.

(and imo i think top 15 would probably be better than top 10)

Oh shit you're right. I forgot about that.


Maybe David should actually stop making shitty shows and do another season of Inu x Boku.

Eh, the only ones that matter are Fate/Zero and FSN:UBW 2013. If I consolidate them people will confuse themselves and watch the previous installments accidentally. Plus those two are so different and can be watched in any order it makes sense to keep them, if any, separate.

Thinking of a top 15 too.

Do you really want to see (inu x boku ss manga spoiler) the entire cast die???

[Zatheyll]

Yes .

Lol. Shitcom...... there are some terrible entries...

It was a decent anime but only so much you can do about an anime about a video game, kinda like Gunslinger stratos. They should tbh.

[Zatheyll]

Shitcom is a short clay animation of a couple shitting out of their mouths.

A true masterpiece.

Also, is this more for recommendations for others or our own person favorites? Slight difference between the two, but nothing major.

Yes. Whatever you feel like.

Gonna have to figure out a way to narrow this list down, but I still want to keep the original list next to it so everyone's recommendations can be seen. I'm up for just putting them all in and voting for your top 10.

I'd say put in a Top 10, and then a link to the rest of it. That way, Top 10 is on front page, but we still have everything.

A mix of both, I'd say. I thought of it as a list of anime that were well received in the thread so ofc we'd recommend them to new people.

Not that it affects me, but shouldn't you be recommending actually good shows?

By all means, recommend something you like.

I really only put that in because we seem to get the question a lot.

Top 15, Top 10, whatever. So long as we get something.

[Zatheyll]

That's the big problem of Gunslinger. At least Neptunia did it better by having it be almost in a game world. Gunslinger is tropy as fuck and doesn't make sense at all unless you think of it as a video game solely.

I think with the amount of shows being listed a top 15 would work better, and there's more than enough great shows to fill that.

I really don't know what they were thinking when they made gunslinger stratos into an anime Neptunia at least works since it's a RPG with a story and the characters are all based off game consoles like Vert is based off the Xbox and what not.

[Sesto]

Well at least do something like "FSN: UBW 2013 && Fate/Zero" as a single entry or something because otherwise the list will end up either having two slots for Fate shows (which is unnecessary; if you watch one you likely will want to watch the other) taking up room that could otherwise be used for a different show, or only one will make the list making the segment about suggested order for the series counterproductive/irrelevant.

They could have taken the Bahamut route. Take the name, the basic concept, and have a studio make an anime with nothing else but that as the base, with full creative freedom. Would work perfectly.

[Shinzai]

Lol. Shitcom...... there are some terrible entries...

Aka the Gravath show.

For the list suggestions:

Cowboy Bebop
Ghost in the Shell
Akira
Princess Mononoke
Macross Plus
Sword Of The Stranger
Paprika
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
Steins;Gate

On Fate, might as well just tell people to watch Fate/Zero followed by Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works. If they want more, then suggest the visual novel(s) too. If there's only one choice allowed, just Fate/Zero will do.

Yeah that's a good idea, I'll do that.

[icedwarrior]

Chiming in for the list:

Steins;Gate
Samurai Champloo
No Game No Life
Code Geass
Cowboy Bebop
Kill la Kill
Space☆Dandy

That's all I've got, really.
