Pantheon.

Really thoughtful and smart sci-fi animation. Don't want to spoil it so I'll be vague, it has the most realistic depiction of modern tech and how people interact with it than any other show I've seen. Really great commentary on big tech corporations and even a bit of geopolitics. Super ambitious yet it somehow pulls it off.

There is also a scene that still gives me nightmares (not even joking, I still dream about that shit) which is more than any horror movies or shows have done for me. Anyone who has watched it knows exactly what scene I'm talking about.

@Shkshkshk @asklemmy
There's a ton of anime that I *might* recommend to different people, depending on individual preferences and tastes:

But the one that I come closest to recommending everyone, without qualification, would be:

"Keep Your Hands off Eizouken"

It's basically a love letter to:

* joys and challenges in the process of creative collaboration
* how each success begets further goals
* how reflecting on details and oddities of the world adds to art

Everybody kind of slept on it but I really like AppleTV's See. Really unfortunate name for a pretty interesting premise, and the fight scenes are brutal and very well shot.

Looked pretty cool but it'd feel like cheating if I didn't finish Frontier first

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Both are good Momoa vehicles but the worldbuilding and battle sequences from See are next level. The fact that they had to figure out how to do warfare with a completely blind army is a great example of how embracing constraints can result in amazing work.

That sounds awesome, will definitely check this out eventually

The Leftovers. Still think of some scenes all the time.

Frieren for anime - It has everything I love about anime.
MASH for TV show (version without laugh tracks) - Kind of old, but even now, the humor is not outdated.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

It's been a few years that I've learned that MASH had laugh track. It's so weird. I never saw mash with laugh track and not even a morbid curiosity makes me want to try that.
