ITT: Good One-and-done seasonal animes
Boku no Pico hit every right note and then vanished into the aether. I don't think anything will be able to replicate its glory every again
>>288708391Originals only or are adaptations allowed? Anyway Do It Yourself!!
>>288708425Fpwp
>>288708446Anything that's one season
>>288708466Okay
>>288708449Get out /v/ermin.
>>288708391not sure if everyone would consider this good, but I at least thought it wasn't bad.
>>288708391
I still refuse to acknowledge the existence of the 2nd season...

>>288708391>ITT: Good One-and-done seasonal animes
The original Mono
>>288708939So far, it's one-and-done ehehe ^_^
>>288708909S2 was tons better than S1 though
>>288708931I forget this anime wasn't 2 seasons sometimes
>>288708391>animes
>>288708391>animesInB4 some neckbeard fatass bitches about this word.
>>288708391>ITT: Good One-and-done seasonal animesNot even an OVA/special to extend the story after they meet up again... I wish it wasn't a one-and-done...
>>288708391Could be better, but this one wasn't bad.
>>288709021Another buddy teamup show, this one's definitely good
>>288708391>One-and-done seasonalDo words not mean anything anymore?
I don't actually remember if its good only the EDwww.youtube.com/watch?v=tneeHgP4Xzk
>>288709007Only works if you've never read the manga
>>288708391Good enough, I suppose.
>>288709051So you're saying there's a chance (for season 2 or something)
>>288708391Shame that a bunch of people got filtered by the premise into not giving it a chance because it's a really good show
>>288709053That was fun.
>>288709050I know I watched this, but all I remember is the loli. Looks pretty gay though
>>288708909s2 is better tho...
>>288708909This sucked. It didn't even commit to it's own premise and tried too hard to have the same sense of rivalry as Ashita no Joe but there was no reason for any of the characters to do so.
>>288708984Same with this one and this one's even longer (74 episodes)
>>288708985Oh hell no, that was like good first 3 episodes, the rest was a droll
>stealth rec threadI hate you faggots so goddamn much
>>288708391Predictable but overall, alright.
>>288709215if you don't count this: https://myanimelist.net/anime/33129/Joker_Game__Kuroneko_Yoru_no_Bouken
>>288709078Fwiw, it's got an OVA too
>>288708391If you don't count AkaKill! Gekijou
>>288708391I would've liked more
epic scale battle fantasy is tragically under represented
>>288708391>seasonalI don't understand why you need to add that when literally every anime other than ovas, movies is a seasonal
Kyousogiga has a special place in my heart
>>288708391It's only one and done because it didn't get continued unfortunately, but I'll always remember this show. It's so fucking fun and funny. I love Mitsuboshi Colors!
>>288709130I thought it was good enough and didn't try to overstay its welcome, until the 2nd season happened
>>288708391aside from the side story/special/ova
>>288708909Coincidentally, I also refuse to acknowledge the existence of the manga for this one
Isn't this just a recc thread?>Good One-and-done seasonal animesThis is literally 90% of all good anime and basically most of what you will find in a 3x3 thread. You can name anything from Lain to Takarajima to Haibane Renmei to Gurren Lagann. This is literally just a "what are some good anime" thread.
Guin Saga was alright
>>288709112>detective>gayso it has some similarities with this one-and-done show
>>288708466Here's another one-and-done maid cafe anime
>>288708391Can't recommend this bec I didn't like the last few episodes but it was alright
>>288709958>didn't like the last few episodessame here
>>288709331Maybe one day we'll get a bugle call adaptation.
>>288709976There's a special for Charlotte though, unlike this one
>>288709958 :6/10>>288709976: 4/10
>>288709051This isn't how anime works.
>>288708391[C] has its moments but the fighting/combat isn't exactly good, like at all
From the same creator as Hunter x Hunter
>>288708391Here's a one-and-done 6-episode OVA animeIt's kinda unexceptional but the OP is great though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8c_ARXNxO0g
>>288708984To be fair it's from the ancient days of yore before 12 episode seasons became universal.
>>288709331>epic scale battle fantasyMy man this was a dime a dozen "Battle Harem" of which there were countless at the time before they got all got replaced with Isekai.
>>288708391To this day there's only one anime adaptation of Claymore but by now, I don't remember if it was done or not.
>>288709976Either the first or last episode would have worked as the premise for a good series but everything in the middle was lame
Recent one-and-done horror anime
>>288710164Eh it chickened out and made its own premise pointless by refusing to actually take a stance or have an opinion on economic policy. Like if you want to be deep and make a show about confronting economic issues you have to actually say something about them besides "It sucks to be poor".
>>288708391fairly recent one-and-done slice-of-life show
>>288710321Kaya-chan is cute!
>>28871021599% of ovas are one and done, you could name hundreds of 90s/00s ovas so why choose this one in particular?
>>288709053I liked this show a lot, and I appreciate how it was just an anime original. Something like this screams it came from a manga, but no. Just a totally original anime vision.
>>288710321>>288710383is this ghoooosto related?
>>288708391Cowboy Bebop>>288710164>>288709976>>288709958>>288709826The op was asking for good stuff so why do you keep naming mediocre shows(that you yourself know are mediocre) ?
>>288710425Seriously nigger?We discuss seasonal anime and you come here with your entry level shit?
>>288710325It has a lot of problems, alright.Like for example, the thing with entire countries disappearing were just retconned as though they've somehow never existed even though realistically, that country should've done some trades/transactions like to buy/sell resources with other countries, since there's rarely any countries that are actually self-sufficient.And the show didn't give any explanation or it was just swept under the carpet...
>>288710437Cowboy Bebop is a One-and-done seasonal anime that respects the clause given by the OP unlike the posts I've quoted.
>>288709050It was good, but you have to accept it's not a conventional mystery story.
>>288710425Because1. I don't know whether OP or anyone else would like them or not2. Not all of them are completely mediocre, some aspects were okay3. Shows like Cowboy Bebop for example, have these related anime:Cowboy Bebop: Tengoku no Tobira (Movie)Cowboy Bebop: Ein no Natsuyasumi (Special)
>>288708510To be fair Katanagatari spawned a whole year, which means it lasted four seasons.
>>288709078Likely the one anime I loved, had more material to adapt from and I'm glad it stayed one season only. The manga's downfall was legendary.
>>2887104721. That's fair.2. But they are still not exactly good if you have a lot of problems with them, especially charllote. Good should start around 7/10.3. Don't really count or affect the continuity of the series, CB is one and done, the movie is just a well animated cashgrab . Also people have mentioned other shows that have some silly unimportant ovas, Kiznaiver has a special as well. Anyways here another GOOD seasonal: Texhnolyze.
>>288709274Akame was two cours tho.
>>288709101Punch Masakichi
>>288709361Was it really one season though? I remember there were two versions or something.
>>288710412Very much so
>>288709958It was clear they rushed an entire second season into the last 2 episodes.
>>288708857Tbh after the monk gay sex it was pretty bad
>>288710682OVAs but the show is a stand alone creaturelike Black*RockShooter
>>288708857This is the poster boy of why anime need to have more episodes. Nitro + that is used to making 50 hours+ vn was forced to make something that only lasted 12 episodes while cutting down the characterization and giving it less depth.
>>288708391>Good one-and-done
>>288708391>everyone jobs to a retard the animeyawn
>>288710563Maybe in the dubbed version in your country? IDK... Both MAL and AL lists it as one season:https://myanimelist.net/anime/22199/Akame_ga_Killhttps://anilist.co/anime/20613/Akame-ga-Kill/It's got 24 episodes but someone else suggested Cowboy Bebop which had 26 episodes.
>>288708391WHERE ARE YOU TATSUKI!?>>288709359Only thing I remember is that Leland's sister won.>>288709958God, I love the OP>>288710164I enjoyed the idea but it definitely could have been done much better>>288710321Kaya-chan is where I learned that Kurage Bunch don't really do anime adaptation. Which is a shame because I want a Welcome Ghost Mansion anime.
Manga is ending, btw. So the hopes for S2 are definitely dead now.I hope they get the spinoff back before the end.
TOOT
>>288711438where's the scanlates?and the sister?
>>288711378I thought with "seasonal" the OP meant only one cour shows (12/13 episodes).
>>288711331But you see, it's good because it points out how shallow battle royales are without good characters.
I just wish the sequel got translated.>>288711485>Scanlation*None is there. Everyone who picked it up for a few chapters dropped it>and the sister?Stopped for no reason given, most likely because the author stretching himself too thin
>>288709142Snek and Hime were top tier thougghever
>>288709188crying about rec threads has always been the gayest /a/ "tradition"
>>288711438How much material by the ending? Maybe they could finish the anime too.
>>288708857it was fun but also objectively speaking extremely gay
>>288709188Yeah, those faggots should just go to /r/
>>288708857
>>288711824Wtf man...
>>288711498And I thought that it only mattered if they are broken up into more than 1 cour/part/season, or even the OVA/special/movie.Well... there are other suggestions that ran longer like Death Note and Monster so I blame the OP for calling it seasonal instead of clarifying the 12-13 episode thingy...
>>288709066Low blow
>8 years agoNo...>>288711563There is more than enough. And this time they can even follow a more reasonable pace. But I don't think we will ever have another season.
>>288711824This show really looks made by a faggot who wants to have his anus screwed by buff faggots. Which makes me wonder why there is a loli in the show at all.
>>288712117The loli is a shota
>>288712179Lmao
I remember Genki grandma
>>288711438Really sad this never got picked up by a scanlation group, only isekai i really loved besides konosuba and maybe reincarnation colloseum
Does anyone still remember these dorks?>>288712788I tried to find a TL to work with but no dice. It's just that unpopular. Even the official English publisher seems to have given up on it.
>>288709958I liked it well enough
>>288712392Damn I had forgotten about this.
>>288709025It was great until the ending, where the writers appeared to shrug their shoulder and say "eh, I guess we can't end the show with Rei killing everyone"
>>288709328But it wasn't done...
>>288709078Wrong, the following stuff is amazing.>>288710491Filtered.
>>288708391Kon is sorely missed... >>288709274AgK has always been crap and, somehow, it managed to get even worse the moment it ran out of stuff to adapt.
>>288710321Kaya and Chie-sensei are very cute and there are some disturbing moments, but Mobuo is entirely unnecessary to the plot and serves only to ruin the atmosphere with excessive comic relief (Kaya and Chie already provide enough between them). The majority of the scares didn't land as well. The director appears to have experience with horror, so does he just suck at it?
>>288710343Excellent, apart from that one episode.
>>288708425Where do people even watch it tho? You always see people joke suggesting it, but they don’t have it on anything.
>>288716495Back in the day /a/ kept saying that this is Kon's worst work but I liked it more than any of his movies.
>>288709311The family episode was so heart breaking.>>288709350It seems like half of the anime airing this season are season 2,3, or 4.
>>288716554>The director appears to have experience with horror,Where? I don't see anything like it in his past works but I am probably not the best person to judge horror anyways since horror doesn't scare me anymore, not even in live action movies. I am too numb to it.
>>288708391I thought Magical Destroyers was really good. The board had some kind of weird love hate thing about the show tho. Something about the ending iirc. I just liked all the otaku stuff and the idea of weirdos and freaks forming a chigyuu rebellion lol
Hanayamata, the perfect CGDCT summer anime.Summer 2014
HISOMASOOOOOOOO
>>288716495Akame ga Kill had enough stuff to adapt two cours of content, they just decided to go anime original to tie everything into a single anime. Not that it matter because with some differences the last arc of the manga is more or less the same as the anime but less rushed.
>>288716713Dark Gathering and Bem have horror tags but I don't know if it's the focus of those series. It looks like he does a bit of everything. His next anime is the Dodge Danko remake.
>>288716602it doesn't even fit the theme of the thread, it wasn't a one-off
>>288711438everyone in this was stupid sexy and it was funnier than I expected
Basilisk was pretty fun from beginning to end, one of the battle royales I have liked the most, unpredictable, dramatic and with a proper conclusion, all aired in a single season.>And what about the 2018 seque-Didn't happen.
>>288709331I liked it soo much I actually read the LN and I a not really a LNfag, still enjoy it a lot.
>>288711548Thats what I hate of that serie, great designs, great premise, interesting possibilities with the "characters is no longer tied to the tropes and narrative so they can develop as persons now" like snake basically going "being a serial killer for funsies is not really that fun after all" but then is wasted on a really stupid plot.
>>288717941I knew that it would end Romeo and Juliet like but I still appreciated the ending.
>>288720321It was inevitable, after all the tragedy both of her clans suffered there was no way they could live happily ever after. At the very least they ended up dying happily loving each other and leaving behind the hatred of their predecessors, which made me like the ending even more.
>>288720280Wasn't this 2 seasons? Its been a while
>>288709094One day. One day.>>288710088Don't care. I deserve to see Anzu's final form and Hitomi become corporate Jesus.
>>288721612on Netflix it is. It was a split cour in Japan. idk if OP meant single cour only
>>288710285It had an subpar original ending but it was still better than SnK. A proper adaptation would have become a cult anime at worst.
>>288709215This one was pretty good actually.
>>288722820It's weird for me but a lot of people call the claymore anime garbage instead of calling just the last part of it garbage. Before that I think the anime had a fantastic atmosphere and was a treat to watch. The muted colors worked wonders.
>>288708880this was fun
>>288722932I wholeheartedly agree with this. The original ending is kinda lame, but the faithful adaptation of the original material, with the dark atmosphere and the sharp character designs was great. It's a damn shame Claymore was animated during the time where full adaptations were a rarity, had it been given an anime later on there could have been hope for a longer, more faithful animation.
Ignore that there are specials, only one season, it counts.
>>288716793>>2887193252014 was such a god-tier year.
>>288709053Was the Renjoh Desperado author the character designer for this?
>>288716554Mobuo is great, his story made me cry and I find him funny.
>>288708391>chuuni taisen>good>animes>rec threadDie.
>>288725587Get over it weeb
>>288725587bump
i liked it
>>288711438I remember this
>>288725587Shame she died so soon...
>>288728887She got too cocky.
Comfy adult anime are the best
>>288708985This was pretentious, sniffing their own farts, garbage.
>>288730384Nice ass. Built for anal.
>>288709021Cringy and shit
>>288709328Started strong, then the male love interest became a simp that constantly gets beaten up for laughes.
>>288730479He wasn't beaten that much.
>>288716924Yeah but all these rushed parts significantly worsened the ending of a story that already was subpar at best.
>>288708425Wasn't a one off
>>288716742I remember most ppl said it was mediocre and the best part about it is the intro. Can kinda see why they would think that? But also the story was pretty interesting once you got into it, and the characters where pretty fun and had good designs. The ending sorta sucked tho, i can see that they where going for some kind of "hope/rebellion never dies" thing but it didn't quite work out imo
>>288731484Agree on that, the last 5 episodes felt pretty rushed, which ruined the anime for me.
>>288711824the way he draws his greatbow is so cool
>>288727662Those are some taimanin looking outfits, do they get brutally raped as well?
>>288727662I remember being a little disappointed by it but I can't remember why.
>>288733117For sure.
>>288708391Would Blood+ count? While it's part of a franchise it's a standalone show only taking elements from the original movie. The anime never received an animated continuation or special, though it did had a light novel sequel.
>>288738775This is the best, most coherent Blood IMO which is funny because it also has the most content I believe. Somehow still held up while the other, shorter series or movies went schizo fast.
>>288740829Agreed. The movie was cool but at the end is just a movie of a badass schoolgirl killing vampires; Blood-C was fun as an edgefest but I wouldn't say I liked it more than Blood+.And, yeah, Blood+ is the longest of the three.
Boku no Pico.
