I'm home sick today. Anyone have any Netflix suggestions for me to check out?

I just finished the series and that was incredible. I haven't watched any anime really before, but really enjoyed this. Do you have any other recommendations?

Yessssssss, let the meguka flow through you.

Klein and I will make everyone a convert before the year is over if we can do it.

Miyazaki movies are always good entry anime.

Fullmetal Alchemist as well.

Other things by the guy that made Maducka Maguca are Psycho Pass and Aldnoah.Zero!

I couldn't quite get into Alchemist. I gave it about eight episodes.

I'm currently trying to attach to Planetes but not really succeeding; I also really dig the hell out of Serial Experiments:Lain but it's certainly weird.

The anime that first got me interested in anime was Genesis Climber:Mospeada as its American iteration of Battletech Series 3. Mospeada is much better.

I'm open to other suggestions as well.

I am in need of a good anime. Lets see what this hype is all about!

kleinbl00  ·  3637 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Make it through Episode 3 before you decide.

Cumol  ·  3637 days ago  ·  link  ·  

is it something I could also watch high?

kleinbl00  ·  3637 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Oh, certainly. But then you should probably watch it again sober because it's one of the most deeply intricate series I've ever seen.

    Believe it or not, I could go on. I'm already slightly embarrassed for having cooked off an hour on a Saturday night writing all this shit up but it's just that impressive to me. I'll say this: the only other thing I've seen come close to that level of structural beauty/contortion is Madoka Magika, and it's also fucking incredible for all those reasons and more.

Downloaded the first 3 episodes. Going to watch them sober tonight!

If you like Herzog, Happy People: A Year in the Taiga was interesting.

Frank was entertaining. Samsara is awesome eye candy and thought provoking despite lacking dialogue.

And after Samsara, you can add Koyaanisqatsi

I think I just realized something:

sonovabitch, that's why the soundtrack was the best part of Interstellar.

thundara  ·  3637 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Shh, I haven't seen Interstellar!

iammyownrushmore  ·  3637 days ago  ·  link  ·  

WOOPS.

ironpotato  ·  3638 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I read Samsara as Sinatra because the first word of the sentence was "Frank", I was like, hell yeah I'll have to check that out. Upon further inspection I realized my mistake, but I still want to check it out.

The Wolf of Wall Street.

I'm with you. Feel terrible, but kept dreaming that I had woken and gone to work.

I really enjoyed Marco Polo if you haven't seen it yet.

The Brass Teapot's pretty fun.

c_hawkthorne  ·  3635 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I watched this on Wednesday and it certainly improved my mood. Quirky movie, funny in parts and serious in others. I really enjoyed it.
