I don't remember much about FMA except the dog scene. I didn't find it interesting when it was on Adult Swim. I do remember Inyuasha only because they would scream each other's names so much every episode it's written into my fucking soul. KAGOME!!! INYUASHA!!!!
a lot of anime people try to recommend that is not goonbait is just like "cool" in the how an 8 year old boy sees cool. Robots fighting, magic, over the top action sequences, and plots that are very over the top.
Fuck it. Fine. You have successfully baited me. I have no option but to do the lamest and gayest thing possible.
Provide a genuine heartfelt suggestion of something I actually like.
I will suggest exactly two anime that I think have serious artistic merit and lack any gooner energy.
The first is mushishi
It is an anthology serious following a sort of spiritual medicine man walking across a pre modern Japan dealing with mushi which are sort of like spirit germs that cause weird shit to happen. Good music, it's essentially just a collection of fairy tales with a reccuring character in the form of the traveler.
It's good and it's a very relaxing peaceful show. It's something you could watch with your grandma.
My absolute favorite anime of all time is Legend Of The Galactic Heroes.
It's a political scifi show that ran from 1988 to 1997. It's not based off light novels or manga but actual books. It is 110 episodes long with a couple of movies and extremely high quality.
Long story short it's the story of the conflict between the Free Planets Alliance and The Galactic Empire. However it does the exact opposite of what something like star wars does.
The empire is not the bad guy, neither side is. They are both sort of representatives of real world political systems and their consequences. The empire is sort of an Austrian autocracy and the free planet alliance is a sort of Western democracy.
The entire show is framed like a history lesson with a narrator and it has an entirely classical music score. It is extremely classy and in 110 episodes it never gets creepy or horny once.
It's so completely devoid and divorced from anime tropes I genuinely feel weird discussing it in the context of "anime"
The two greatest commanders from both sides meet once and they just have an intelligent discussion about freedom and the consequences of democratic choice and whether the people have the choice to vote for their own demise.
It even goes over the history of the goldenbaum dynasty which is the founding dynasty of the empire and describes its degeneration with examples like one of the emperors castrating a choir of boys so they never lose their falsetto and the show just kinda goes "that's right, he was a homosexual"
it can be really slow but it's just so so good.
