[Anime] Which one is good among these if I’m watching anime with friends on the weekend?

Otaku Review Image

Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)21:27Yeahx2

This weekend, my friend and I talked about watching some anime, and now the remaining options are…
Fafner OVA and Season 2
Macross Delta up to episode 11 and two theatrical versions.
Shin Eva All
Build Fighters
Build Divers
Mobile Suit Gundam: The Reconguista in G – 5 Movies
Cross Ange
So, which one is interesting?
I’ve never seen any of them, but my friend says they’re all interesting.

15: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)21:38Yeahx3

No, this line is this, right?
It’s more of a women’s prison anime than a robot anime…

44: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:02

Re-rise from

1: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)21:29Yeahx10

Grave of the Fireflies

2: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)21:29Yeahx16

Shin Eva is the only one.

3: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)21:29

I love robot anime so much…

4: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)21:31Yeahx2

I think it’s better to watch something bright with friends, so I recommend build-type shows.
Let’s watch Fafner alone.

8: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)21:32Yeahx4

>>4Sorry, I meant to say Evangelion: New Theatrical Edition.
I was recommended by a friend to watch Fafner, including the first season and the movie, but to be honest, I didn’t really understand it, so if I’m going to watch it, I would like to have someone explain it to me while watching.

11: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)21:35

>>8People like to teach unknown individuals, so isn’t Fafner good?

5: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)21:31

G-Reco is interesting, but five episodes is definitely too much!

6: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)21:32Yeahx4

Talk to your friends…

7: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)21:32Yeahx3

Watching G-Reco in one go really makes your head smell like smoke.

9: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)21:34

If you’re watching the old Eva, then the new Eva is a must, but if it’s different, it’s better to stop.

10: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)21:34

You’ve never even seen Evangelion?

12: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)21:36

Why do I have a friend who’s just my type of old man?

19: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)21:46

>>12The first mecha anime I ever watched was Witch from Mercury.
After that, I watched SEED, 00, Code Geass, Fafner Season 1, and Gika Axis.
If I can mention my hobbies, I said Majepuri, Bravely Default, Ideon, Fullmetal Panic, Macross 7, Bokurano, and AKIRA.

20: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)21:48

>>19I see, the era is flying by rapidly.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)21:55Yeahx1

>>19I’m going to make a commentary at the beginning of Mobile Suit Gundam.

13: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)21:36

If you’re going to watch Fafner, it’s a test of stamina, but could that OVA be RoL?

14: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)21:37Yeahx1

Macross 7 All Episodes

16: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)21:39

If it’s Build or G-Reco, I won’t involve my friends.
The rest should be watched all at once by yourself; it will hit you hard in your head and heart.

17: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)21:40

Watching all of the Evangelion Rebuild movies is quite a challenge…

18: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)21:44

The new Evangelion movie is still good in terms of the prologue and climax.
Q…?
Shin na…
Are you going to watch it all at once?

21: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)21:48

It’s more about the length of time.

22: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)21:48Yeahx1

Recommended: Gurren Lagann

23: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)21:50

Watch Argento Soma, Scryed, and Gun Sword.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:03

>>23I want to include Infinite Ryvius too…

47: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:04Yeahx2

>>46I love it, but if you’re going to watch it, I want you to do it twice.
The fun starts from the second week.

50: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:05

>>47I understand.

24: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)21:52

If you like 2 cour, then watch Big O.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)21:52Yeahx2

If I had to choose from this, it would probably be five of G-Reco.
If you have a friend who has seen it, they could explain it and make it easier to understand.

26: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)21:53

It’s a bit heavy overall.
Build Fighters or Aim for the Top!

27: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)21:54Yeahx3

I don’t think it will resonate that much unless Eva was really into the old works when she was young.

32: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)21:56

>>27It’s only because I’ve been watching the TV series that I feel this way.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:00

>>27It seems like something that young kids might think is clichéd and old-fashioned.
Characters like Ayanami aren’t that rare, are they?

28: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)21:54

It’s a safe choice for a robot anime, but if robot anime doesn’t work, I feel like nothing will be tough…

30: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)21:55

Where does Delta Episode 11 go up to?

31: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)21:56

Among them, personally, I like Build Fighters the most.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)21:57

If I don’t know anything about Evangelion, I’m scared about how to evaluate Q and Shin, at least until the end of the second Rebuild.

34: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)21:57

Well then, this Dougarm…

35: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)21:57

Akira is great!

36: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)21:59

Build Fighters is really enjoyable to watch clearly.
It’s so refreshing that it doesn’t linger much.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:00

Everything has its own level of interestingness, but I feel it’s questionable whether it’s entertaining if you just suddenly start watching it.
Let’s go with Earth Defense Enterprise Daigard.
The director is with 00.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:01

It seems like pretty much anything would be fine in terms of viewing history and lineup.
All of them are works that are said to be interesting, whether or not you get hooked on them is another matter.

40: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:01Yeahx2

Gundam Sword seems to fit perfectly under these conditions.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:01

Is your friend the same sex as you?

42: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:01Yeahx1

After one or two laps, Asuka Langley Soryu has become a rare character!

43: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:02

>>42This is super interesting.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:03

“Let’s fight it out like in Scryed.”

48: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:05

Watch Gun Sword.
The next day, if I have some energy left, I’ll go to Kanata’s Astra.

49: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:05

I think it would be fine to go with Eva if I’m with a friend.
A friend said it was interesting even though they hadn’t seen the old ones… but I also feel like they were saying that around the time of the beginning or the breaking.

51: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:05

If you’re an otaku, I prefer something that’s more about discussing and arguing than just having fun.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:06

If I’m watching with a friend, it’s Cross Ange.

53: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:07

By the way, I like big breasts, so it’s fine if it features big breasts this time.

56: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:08

>>53Big breasts, huh! It feels like big breast characters are a staple in robot anime!

57: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:08Yeahx2

>>53In that case, watch Majepuri along with your friend’s hobby.
I want to say, “Are you crazy?” because those big breasts are coming out!

54: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:07

If you can watch it all at once now, then maybe Eva isn’t that much of a problem.

58: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:08

>>54Rather, without buildup, there are fewer things that resonate with Shin Eva…

72: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:14

>>54I think it’s fine to binge-watch together as newcomers.
It seems like there will be quite a difference in enthusiasm between the long-time fans on one side and the newcomers on the other.
In other words, it really happened like that at the time of the release.

76: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:16Yeahx1

>>72I’ve experienced temperature differences too, but it really becomes something amazing when you have people who like to think deeply and those who don’t…

55: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:07Yeahx3

“Look at the big breasts personally.”

59: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:09

You want to see big breasts?
“Just watch Godanner or Gravion.”

60: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:09

Will big breasts appear in a robot anime…?

61: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:09Yeahx2

Ah, Majepuri’s big breasts…
It will also feature slender ones.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:10

I kind of figured out why you chose SEED, you perverted guy.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:10Yeahx1

I’m honestly envious of friends who say, “Let’s check out this lineup together…”

64: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:12Yeahx2

I wondered if there was anything like big breasts and robots, but there is “Expelled from Paradise.”

69: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:13

>>64Speaking of which, a sequel is being released, so it’s just the right time to watch it, plus there are big breasts and big butts, and you can also enjoy robots, so it seems pretty well-rounded.

65: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:12

The Patlabor movie is really great!

77: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:17Yeahx1

>>65Ah, no, no, at first, Gekipato is going to get hooked on Oshii’s films, not Patlabor, from the early days.

66: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:12

Cross Ange would be quite exciting to watch with someone.
It might be better to watch alone.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:13

Watch one episode of Eva or G-Reco, discuss it, then watch another episode and discuss it again.
Let’s do it this way.

68: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:13

I wonder if Build Divers includes Re:Rise as well.
That is preferable.

70: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:14

Only the veterans from the 90s get purified by watching Shin, right…?

71: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:14

If I’m watching with friends, then I’m definitely talking about Build Fighters.

73: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:14Yeahx1

Do you remember Aim for the Top! and Love? Experience the strongest analog animation!

87: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:20Yeahx1

>>73You can enjoy the animation set ten years later in the movie version of Escaflowne and Macross Plus.

74: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:15

Fafner is recommendable, but if you watch it, do so all the way to the end in one go.

81: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:18

>>74There are nearly 4 cours of content just since RoL and EXO!

75: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:15

It is often said that any Macross is fine just as a basic movie.
Due to time constraints, the character development will be very shallow.
Watching the TV version up to a certain point is actually quite acceptable.

78: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:17

I once binge-watched Cross Ange with a few friends.
Emburio is amazing and we got really excited.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:17

Macross Plus! Macross Plus!

80: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:18

I’m going to make a movie this time.
Ken Koike’s Lupin
Including Sayoko Yamamoto as Fujiko Mine.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:18

If it’s Macross, then Macross Plus… and also, it’s not a robot, but Cowboy Bebop…

83: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:18Yeahx2

Cross Ange is interesting!

84: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:19Yeahx1

Even if I divide it into two days, it’s all too long…

94: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:23

>>84If it’s Eva, then it’s Death and Rebirth.
I have a feeling that Q and Shin can be nicely divided into two days.

85: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:20

Isn’t Cross Ange a rare delicacy? Is it okay for someone with little experience in robot anime to watch it?

96: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:24

>>85There are many weird hooks, so people of all ages can enjoy it!

112: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:38

>>96It’s just that the dirty parts can be polarizing in taste!

86: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:20

To be blunt, the second season of Fafner has a bad cut, so if you’re going to rush through it, make sure to get to BEYOND.
I think it’s fine to just let it be with HEAVEN AND EARTH.

88: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:21Yeahx2

How old are you and your friend?

102: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:26

>>88The Build Series is recommended, but it’s said that it becomes even more interesting if you watch various Gundam series beforehand, so it’s good to watch it twice.
They said it would work because it’s a FREEDOM element of SEED FREEDOM.
27

89: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:21

Build Fighters is recommended as it’s often touted as the greatest masterpiece of the Build series, capturing the spirit of a heated battle anime.
Build Divers may be less flashy compared to other entries in the Build series, but the charm comes from the straightforward and good-natured protagonist and the fact that all the allies around him are also good people, so I recommend this one too.

90: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:21

Let’s just watch all of Eva from the beginning.

91: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:22

It’s nice that Macross Delta is packed into two movies.

92: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:22Yeahx1

Mercury is making its debut as a robot, and if things go poorly, it could be in its early 20s?

93: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:23Yeahx1

If you’re watching with friends, it’s definitely Braveheart.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:23

It’s amazing that you’ve never watched Eva.
Is it already that time?
That aside, Fafner Season 2.

97: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:24

If you’re watching now, “Space Encounter” is great!

98: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:24

I remember binge-watching four seasons of anime over the weekend during my student days, so I think I can do it.

99: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:24

Scryed is probably a robot anime.

103: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:26

>>99It’s about the Hyper Pinch Crusher!

100: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:25

Legend of the Galactic Heroes is also doable.

104: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:27

>>100It’s ridiculous to think I could watch nearly 150 episodes in one weekend!

106: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:28

>>104Even if I split it over a few weeks, it’s too long, so it would be better to look at each part individually…
It’s definitely interesting, but…

101: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:25Yeahx1

If you’ve seen Z Gundam, then the Gundam theatrical trilogy is fine too, right?

105: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:27

Before watching Macross Delta, let’s watch AKB0048.

107: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:28

Seeing “A Silent Voice” leaves me with an indescribable feeling.
I will cry uncontrollably.

108: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:28

How about Mega Man USA on Amazon Prime?

109: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:29

If you want to see Fafner and Majestic Prince on SEED.
Look at the silver Orinssis, Heroic Age, and Linebarrels.

110: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:30Yeahx1

What anime do you like, Anonymous?

111: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/08(Sun)22:37

If you’re watching Zeg-Axis, it might be okay to skip the original and Z and just watch Char’s Counterattack for now.
I feel like it’s something that could come up as a topic or simply that it’s one of the top-class entertaining ones in Gundam.
