I watched Gundam Wing a few years back and remember like nothing about it. I know that sometimes happens with shows one saw a while back but I usually remember at least the basic plot and some characters. Wing however like completely fell out of my memory.

Starting to think about it I can remember some stuff but for example the girl in that video, I remember her being a major character but I can't remember her role in the plot at all.
I watched around 15 or more episodes of that show and remember her being nothing much more than a damsel in distress who Heero loved to aim his gun at

I wish I was that lucky <_<
Main kid Heero and the four members of the pretty boy squad go to Earth to fight one sided battles, blow up their own Gundams for no reason and generally try to cash in on the female viewing audience. Plot is paper thin and character actions are frequent head scratchers (see below) but the robot designs and music are good.

For example, the girl claims sovereignity and takes up a stance of total pacifism...while other characters are fighting a war of attrition to keep her mansion from being destroyed by outside forces...

The Fate/Extra CCC PSP game is also pretty good.

I would say that Fate/Zero is probably the best thing in the franchise, IMO.

I'd recommend the VN since none of its animes really got the adaptation work right. Pretty long, though.
But from what you've already watched, I'd also say Zero (adapted from novel series), Ufotable's Unlimited Blade Works TV series (there's a DEEN Unlimited Blade Works movie, but it's super rushed, obviously), and then the Heaven's Feel movies.

Most of the rest are standalone side stories/spinoffs that you can probably jump into without a problem after some basic exposure with the franchise.

Lord El-Melloi II Case Files (novel, has anime) takes place after Zero and follows one of the surviving characters from that.
Strange Fake (novel), Prototype Fragments (novel), and Apocrypha (novel, has anime) are completely standalone.

As for the non-VN games, you have the Extra series that I think goes: Extra (PSP) > Extra CCC (PSP) > Extella (PS4, Vita, Switch) > Extella Link (PS4, Vita, Switch). There's also the Extra Last Encore anime series that uses the same setting and characters but is actually standalone.

The Grand Order phone game is standalone... I think. But it does have crossovers and references to other series from time to time. It's got some animes and upcoming movies for the more important in-game story arcs, but I haven't dabbled in them yet.

These are what I could remember off the top of my head, anyway. There are a ton of other stuff that I haven't tried yet.

For the love of god do not watch fate/zero first if you actually want to enjoy the story. It spoils the entire rest of the franchise. Also don't listen to Spidey, Apocrypha is good.

That's because Gen Urobuchi wrote the light novel and supervised the project.

Only thing Fate/Zero spoils are some character relations nobody cares about. If you watch Fate/Stay Night first it will spoil the much better Gen Urobuchi's wild ride anyways.

I've liked pretty much everything I've watched/ read by him. I still want to check out that Thunderbolt Fantasy puppet show. I watched like half an episode and it was pretty cool.

On a side note, finally beat Persona 5 Royal. I'd definitely recommend if anyone liked the original. I don't think I could have played them back to back though.

I have played almost all of them.

1 is pretty old by today's standards, and 2 really improved on it even on release.

3 is, IMO, the best one and is probably in at least my top 5 JRPG's on the PS1. It is wonderful and a classic. 4 is also very good, has some amazing music and intriguing narrative.

5 (Dragon Quarter) changed a lot of stuff and I found not for the better. It doesn't feel like Breath of Fire to me, and for a lot of people is kinda the black sheep.... at least it was until 6 came out and was a mobile fucking garbage game.

Would you recommend the SNES version or the GBA release of the first one?
I'll keep the warning about 5 in mind, I've had that happen way too many times in different series and I can't ever stand it either. And I'll pass on 6 cuz I've got no patience for mobile.
I'm glad about BoF3, hearing the soundtrack is what intrigued me about the series

If you are willing to do mods of the SNES version, that is likely the best.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/563530-breath-of-fire-ii/76518694

GBA version is easier for 2 as they basically made it easy to grind, so if you want a quicker, less grindy experience, do that with sound restoration.

@Caelthus That villainess show you keep trying to get me to watch is apparently one of the CR shows getting a dub this season. I might be more inclined to actually try it out now, depending on the cast. No dub for Princess Connect and no news on the Konosuba movie though, which sucks.

Tower of God

I've seen this show getting hyped up like crazy because it's like the first anime adaptation of a Korean manwha and it's supposed to be some landmark thing that could open up new opportunities for others... but outside of that, is the show itself actually any good?

It's good but 100% crunchyroll promoting it as much as they do because they co-produced it.

Gigguk did a video about how if the anime adaptations of Manwha could translate to an entire new idea on anime that it is just a "style" to adapt any story telling, rather than having to be of Japanese creation.

Arguably similar things have happened as a lot of people view Avatar TLA as really close to "anime", and the OG Teen Titans definitely took inspiration from anime.

Now imagine those shows being done IN the traditional anime style in Japan.

Isekai Quartet doesn't have a girl band playing a skydiving concert with one of the girls forgetting her parachute and plummeting 20,000 feet to her untimely and painful death that gets retconned by the beginning of the next episode because it's a comedy anime but that's not the point

Also, anyone ever see My-Hime? Was just going through Funimation's catalog looking for something to watch.
