As my journey into weebdom continues (maybe I could do a Youtube miniseries on that) I have another recommendation request. I remember someone once telling me that I would like My Hero Academia since I am a fan of old school super-hero comics and I've heard My Hero Academia be described as a love letter to comic books. I plan on getting that omnibus soon but I would also like to know what are some good Sci-Fi/Fantasy anime or mangas? Probably the very first anime I ever saw was Robotech because my older brother was really into it when I was a kid. I read his Robotech book over and over. As for fantasy, I guess Howl's Moving Castle would count? I actually learned recently that was based on a manga so I want to check that out.
So is there any good sci-fi anime/manga y'all could recommend?
If you want some old-school Sci-fi anime, I'd suggest Gunbuster.
It's relatively short, a 6 OAV anime, but I'd highly endorse it. When you look at it form the lens of the 'modern age', it's a very odd duck - it comes across as very much the classic 'Young girl wants to pilot giant robots and succeeds with SPIRIT and GUTS' and then it starts smacking you with the time-dialation effects of superluminal travel and space-faring aliens that would make the tyranids shit their pants and who's art design looks like something truly alien.
You'll probably have to pirate it, though. And if you can grab the science shorts, do so. They're fun.
Sounds great!
