the public sphere was always a forum of monkeys flinging shit at each other, we merely have the improved chance of finding diamonds and sages spreading hidden wisdom in digital caves & mountaintops now.

08th MS Team is a classic if you want Universal Century, small unit mobile suit combat in Vietnam. Gundam Thunderbolt offers a newer side-story look for Universal Century. I've always loved Gundam Wing & Endless Waltz, but if ihad to choose a non-UC ... mmm you could try the Mercenary Kids of Iron Blooded Orphans. However Gundam Wing remains the nest non-UC imho.

On a side tangent - want a kino space anime with great combat & story, check out Outlaw Star.

golden era - Rachel (Ninja Gaiden)

twilight before the Fall - 2B

the modern slop - Eve from Stellar Blade, but Nikke's roster really just takes slots 1-100 even though I don't play.

Thanks for this, been primary manga recently because I found animes moving too slowly for my tastes. Your lists have been great for finding other gems, and getting a succinct summary is harder & harder with review sites being tainted by left bias.

Some of my own manga re-reads & new discoveries,

Martial Arts & Military:

  1. (current reread) Shijou Saikyou no Deshi Kenichi / History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi by Matsuena Shun - gem from 2002, up there with Bakku & Hajime no Ippo as a great 2nd-tier martial arts manga under DBZ

  2. Records of the Mystic Gardens by Trick Garden - Chinese Xianxia cultivator martial arts. page flow isnt aids, loved the style - killed off by CCP inner security before its time.

  3. Girls' Frontline //Dolls' Frontline by Mica Team, Miharu (壬覇流) - kino gun girls manga with a anime out based on the gacha game. always had a solid story, i'd reccommend it.

  4. Ramia-Yana, Hero & Demon Lord Chronicles by TheGoldenSmurf - fantasy by a guy who does a great style like One Punch Man, if you like curvy musclewoman & OPM in a fantasy setting, try this.

  5. Ragna Crimson - solid fantasy, dragon-demon slaying

Slice of life / Sports:

  1. Dogsrred by Noda Satoru - sports manga on Japanese High School Hockey and classic rise to the top. made by the guy who did Golden Kamuy.

  2. Super no Ura de Yani Suu Futari / Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You by Jinushi - adult slice of life romcom between a salaryman and cute supermarket clerk afterhours

  3. Hitman // Weekly Shonen Hitman by Seo Kouji - story of a manga editor and the artists he manages in a high speed way
