I mainly like mystery/psychological themed plots, but I'm open to anything really. Thanks for all the recommendations, got a few options there, haha.

Kaiji and Akagi are two you'd like for the psychological component.
Also, add Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei to the list of recommendations.

After reading about them, they sound interesting, gonna look them up. Thanks man.

**Demon-Mask** · 08-19-2011, 12:18 AM

Quite welcome.
Oh, and another one.
Redline, it is a fairly new movie about racing. It's pretty cool, it reminds me of F-Zero, not the half-assed anime but, the races have the same feel as the F-Zero games.
Oh, and seven years hand drawn.

Was an avid gamer of the F-Zero series, so I'll check that out.

I managed to watch a few episodes from Kaiji, and I have to say it's pretty good. Interesting plot.

Don't expect a quick pace to Kaiji, it takes forever for him to do anything. I'm told it's worse in the second season, which I've only seen the first few episodes of.

**Delegate Zero** · 08-22-2011, 08:34 AM

Meh, I can appreciate the pace, haha.

**Demon-Mask** · 08-22-2011, 10:30 PM

To be honest, I prefer slower paced things.

**Delegate Zero** · 08-23-2011, 03:35 AM

Agreed, I'm actually enjoying the pace of Kaiji. Just getting to understand the plot itself is interesting.

**Demon-Mask** · 08-23-2011, 11:19 PM

Yeah, it's a personal favorite. If you like Kaiji, you'll probably enjoy Akagi.
Very stylisticly similar, they are adaptions of manga by the same guy, handled by the same studio.

I thought about it a bit, and it almost feels like Redline is a prequel to F-Zero. The cars they race in still use "conventional" engines, and cars with wheels.

**Delegate Zero** · 08-27-2011, 01:25 PM

Yeah after seeing some screens of Akagi, it's not hard to realize it was produced by the same artists.
I haven't started it yet but the plot of Akagi sounds interesting too.

So you've started watching Redline? Interesting?

I'm watching Disney's Dinosaurs.. wait that's not an anime ;D

I loved Akagi, it was more psychological than Kaiji, more about psychological destruction than desperation.

Redline is a movie, I watched it recently. It is awesome.
Here's how it could be best described:
A movie with awesome animation about cool people driving cool cars in a race where anything goes. You just have to get to point a to point b, by any means necessary and using whatever route you want. The race is on a planet with a strong stance against this particular race, and they are trying to break up the race by use of violence. The plot is not the best but, it isn't all that plot driven.
It almost seems like Speed Racer with aliens, guns and the mafia.
Every single frame is beautiful enough to be a wallpaper.

I can honestly say that sixty percent of the draw is the art/animation, fifteen is the plot and twenty-five is the racers themselves.

I never thought I'd enjoy a braindead racing anime so damn much.
Also, JP's hair is pretty damn awesome. You won't fully understand until you've watched the movie.

Also, I finished Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, well, just the first season.
It was really good buy, I need something deep and plot-centric now.
I won't watch season two of Kaiji until it is done airing, so I was thinking maybe One Outs.
Has anyone seen it?
