Cowboy Bebop is amazing, beautifully written, drawn, and directed. Don't be turned off by the 1st episode which isn't very sci fi and more like film noir cliche stuff. The future world unfolds over the episodes along with the back story of how it evolved though another great thing is each episode stands independently.

There is supposed to be a live action movie coming out at some point in the future. I thought there would be a third season but l guess l am wrong.

Excellent anime!

A.D. Police?

Absolute classic

Steins gate is class. Time travel sci fi. Bit of a slow burner but get past the first two episodes it’s quality on Netflix as well.

you sent me back

Haha yeah mate one of the intros I don’t skip

I second Steins;Gate, may start off slow but gets really good!

Steins;Gate is brilliant. Some unique characterisations and a great, but inevitably confusing, take on the time travel concept with a ton of real world references and conspiracies. Solid choice. However, I highly recommend this viewing order: Steins;Gate episodes 01-22 then episode 23β (alternate version of 23), Steins;Gate 0 episodes 01-23 (you can watch somewhere online or on Crunchyroll) then original Steins;Gate series episodes 23-24. Sounds confusing lol but honestly this is the best way to experience the story.

Splendid bigga, are you writing this from Akihabara or CERN?

7g of dried psilocybe cubensis in pure darkness

yes im on season 7

Not so much science fiction but I really enjoyed Deathnote.

Kaiba does the job.

Finished kaiba the other night from this recommendation. Thought it was class, trippy as fuck.

I love the premise here with the mind-body interchange but its really hard for me to get past the drawing. It seems more like something out of Spain in the 1930s than Anime.

Don’t know if this is a mad suggestion or if literally everybody has seen it. But the Animatrix ?

9 (I think) half an hour animated films set within The Matrix universe. All are interesting and well animated, but a few are stellar.

There’s one created by Shinichiro Watanabe, of cowboy beebop and samurai champloo (my personal favourite).

If you haven’t seen it, buy the dvd and watch it; if you have seen it, back me up!

Peace

animatrix rocks

back that matrix up, it's awesome.

the back and forth between ghost in the shell and the matrix gets its best iteration right here.

Terra formar, valvrave,gundam00

dig this thanks

Terraformars (テラフォーマー, Terafōmā) are evolved humanoid cockroaches who live on Mars. They possess physical traits and skills that greatly surpass those of normal humans. They also appear to be somewhat intelligent and have a natural hatred for humans; much like how humans hate cockroaches.

not sure it qualifies as science fiction - but! try to watch it when high when high.

DOROHEDORO

i'd love to hear from you when you do.

Dorohedoro is fucking class. Watched the first season twice (high) then read the entire manga.

serial experiment lain!!!, a bit old but still ahead of most anime... and I mean, Evangelion, if you have not seen it!

Rick n morty.

Agreed

Getting through Parasyte on Netflix. Enjoying it, worth a look in my opinion!

Was about to say this, superb Anime!!

Also, an oldie but a classic is "The guyver" bio booster armour!!!

Lmao the guyver!! My first anime, fucking loved it. Might have to give it a rewatch.

Do it mate, remember there's a few versions so go for mega 24 odd episode one. :)

Well said OG Apex 🤜😂😂

The guyver is an all-time favourite,fist of the north star and death note spring to mind

Hellsing aswell,loved aswell

THIS!!!!!!

Absolutely epic, then when you finished hit up mutronics and guyver: dark hero with mark Hamill 👌😂

Deathnote was good, so was One Punch Man. Terror in Residence was really good too. And I quite liked Knights of Sidonia. Or just watch Akira and Ghost in the Shell and be done with it :)

Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal

Thanks for the tip. It should be cool just based on the fact that he did Samurai Jack. And Ive found out a movie version was made and even submitted to oscars (fck oscars tho!).. Nice!!

Sci fi anime faves:
Noein (short series based on quantum physics theory),
Gintama (comedy anime partly set in space),
Ergo proxy (short dystopian series in futuristic world),
Inuyashiki (Old man becomes a weaponized cyborg and you follow his story),
Parasyte (High school kid gets infected by an alien parasyte),
And last but not least!
Psycho pass, it has 3 seasons and about 5 movies on the same world. A world which is monitored by an expert crime a.i. program, people get a hue which shows how likely to commit crime you will be, it's hard to explain but definitely my favourite sci fi series for a while.

Edens Zero is a new series if you want somthing light hearted and not too heavy ... if you want heavy watch Gantz, Straight jacket, Karas ect.... Brynhildr in the Darkness is not bad ether has a sci-fi take on witches being aliens..

Trigun was one of my favourite highly recommended it. The 7 deadly sins is pretty cool.

Terra formars is one of my all time favorites, parasyte is great but more body horror than sci fi

Think someone has mentioned all of these, but still
gurren lagann, Evangelion, Cowboy bebop, Space Dandy, Legend of the galactic heroes are some of the heavy hitters that everyone should see
Planetes is lesser known and quite low stakes but really good show about a crew who live on a satellite and have to collect trash from earth's orbit
Kaiba is great if you can stomach the art-style and are high enough to understand what's going on

Steins Gate has to be number 1 it’s one of the best anime's even outside of just the sci fi category, I highly recommend it, it has really interesting plot-lines about time-travel. Parasyte is also another great watch along with cowboy bebop a classic futuristic western like show.

Hands Down

JOJO’s Bizzare Adventures

Season 5 Stone Ocean or something is too good.. it’s the prison episodes



Edit: lol not Science Fiction I think but gaad dammn too good..

Death note also good my first anime’s
Also Code gease or something

Don’t forget Lupin the 3rd

Cowboy Bebop. No qualifying statement required. It's a timeless classic. I wish I could see it for the first time again

Space dandy. Some really good episodes to watch stoned especially the first few.
Love death robots good shout.
Saiki k. Didn't watch stoned but really enjoyed it, might give it another look myself.

Non SciFi recommendation would be Kakegurui, if you haven't watched it watch it stoned it's really good. It's about gambling and girls that leak a lot of fluid.
Also 'close enough' is quite good to watch stoned from the makers of the regular show but for adults.
All should be on Netflix.

Castlevania on Netflix is awesome! Not really sci-fi but the art style is great and a nice spin on an old tale. I binge watched 3 seasons in like 3days lol

Evangelion… enough said.

The mysterious cities of gold

I am going to give a quirky suggestion and say Boogiepop Phantom. Otherwise, Cowboy Bebop.

(But once you are done with Cowboy Bebop, watch Samurai Champloo. It is Cowboy Bebop set in feudal Japan).

Thundercats

Ninja Scroll is a very good series! Check it out you might like it!

I always liked “a town call eureka”

I'm not sure trying to peg any organisation as objectively good or bad is possible, but also fuck the Catholic Church and all they are.

This reminds me of a Jam lyric: "We were no match for their untamed wit".

I was raised catholic and this is seriously the best joke I’ve read on this site lmao

Mass murder; centuries of child abuse, financial manipulation of countries and its peoples, stifling science for centuries, masses of lies and corruption, manipulating the world, controlling the weak minded, instilling a ridiculous morality onto its followers that only incites hatred and misery

The catholic churuch is just the greatest group of criminals to ever exist

God I’m so proud to be catholic 😂

You forgot to include wealthiest, if the Roman Catholic Church realised all it's assets then they could probably eradicate world poverty in a year

Facts

I don't think I've ever heard or seen Widdicombe and not immediately wanted to scrape my eyes out and shove dynamite in my ears.

What a horrificly horrible and hateful person she is. Eugh

We know you want her.

who wouldnt

I don't like Anne Widdecombe at all, but from what I remember from this debate (I watched it a few years ago) she switched from Christianity to Catholoisim because of the amount of hypocrisy in the C of E.

Now don't even get me started on the hypocrisy in the Catholic Church, but I must admit I do somewhat sympathise with the point she was making.

You can't have a religion based upon a book that says "we don't agree with homosexuality" then just ignore that view because it's no longer popular.

It's like the Christian Church is now willing to ignore any of its doctrines just to remain "relevant", and get some likes on Twitter.

If you're going to be a bigoted religion, at least own it.

I'm not really into arguing about religion or politics, and I'm neither religious nor particularly political, but I do have to admit a begrudging respect for any religion that at least sticks by it's dogmatic roots, however ridiculous those roots are.

That's pretty much all I got from Widdicombe that was worth thinking about.

The rest of her nonsense....isn't worth anyone's time.

Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

All versions of Christianity ignore some parts of the bible because it's not popular. The Bible says not to wear two different types of fabric at once, and to sell your daughter to her rapist, but no Christians are abiding by that. They are all as bad as each other, to pretend like she's calling out hypocrisy by changing from one hateful religion to another is so deceitful, another part of the reason she is scum.

starting to sound like a fun read, any sightings?

Religion is very personal but by becoming personal it looses its meaning of existence. Therefore a stepping stone into realisation of God.

Being personal means one aspect is more influential than the rest

In reality religion has become part of a lazy answer for our insecurities that comes from the limitation of existence. Allowing us to put a bandage and peek at it every Christmas/Sundays for Christians or Ramadan/Fridays for Muslims or Hannaka/(Not sure which day of the week is specual fro them)....So we dont really have to investigate into our existence.....My POV...so only an opinion😉

Already seen this you don't want to know my take as a Satanic/pagan Witch/warlock ... But i agree with stephen about most things. The part i can't stomach is that The church brag (Or used to) about their il educated followers from africa.. one reason why i returned to the ways of my old english ancestors.. in all things balance and respect for nature and our home.. Ave Lucifer the light bringer and Giver of knowlage .. Ave lilith mother of all witches and reflection of the black sun.

Pitching the devil sounds like an interesting line of work.

pay is great just ask jk rowling

the word Devil means adversary... Rowling XD are you another one of those magic is the work of the devil hacks??

not the devil but the witch king look up traditional witchcraft...

"Giver of knowlage..."

Well that all sounds pretty knowlagabel to me.

Were do I syne up?

Cheers BB 👌

XD lucifer before the bible... In Roman folklore, Lucifer was the name of the planet Venus, Also worshiped as a wisdom god.

Is spelling and grammar not a part of "wisdom and knowledge?" (or knowlage)

You'd have thought the old Lucibubs would've at least armed you with a dictionary.

Anyway, each to their own. ❤️

Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

this explans it better https://partiallyexaminedlife.com/2020/02/25/lucifer-how-a-decent-deity-got-a-bad-rap-part-1/ and i was never very good at eather of those i was always more creative. XD i'll be the first one to admit i can't spell and my grammer since the net has gone to pot ... XD

There's nothing wrong with having limited spelling and grammar buddy, but I struggle to understand why you would come on here claiming "wisdom and knowledge" given to you by some dark force when you can't even spell the words properly....

I know nothing about open heart surgery, so I'm not going to claim I have "specialism in the field" when it's very clear I don't.

Wisdom has nothing to do with education, but to claim you have wisdom AND knowledge, because you worship the devil...

Yet you can't even spell 'knowledge'...

Sorry. But that needed to be called out.

Spelling and grammar are nothing. Manners maketh the man.

All the best and like I say, each to their own just please don't claim to have superiority in wisdom and knowledge by worshiping anyone, least of all the devil and witches.

Cheers BB

i don't worship any deity i work with them and i never claimed they gave me anything. the last part of what i said was just Veting or honouring the witch king and queen ( the male and female aspects of nature) i never claimed anything...

Fair enough buddy, sorry if I got the wrong end of the stick.

All the best ❤️

Cheers BB 😊

No problem BB also Keats and Einstein (sry for the spelling) couldn't spell so saying somone is not wise because they can't spell i feel is redundant. i guess what im trying to say even the dumbest of us can be wise. I mean even the dimist of sparks like myself still puts out a little light :)

Now you're making me feel bad. 😔 Sorry. I do post derogatory shit sometimes when I'm awake late.

You keep doing your thing buddy if it makes you happy.

Much love to you. ❤️

Cheers BB 😊🍻

same G we are not perfect only human after all eh ? :) And i will, I feel what ever faith or not anyone follows if it makes them a better person it can only be a good thing right ? ... i just feel some where along the path people started to use it for control and not to help and heal..

All Abrahamic religions are backwards and immoral, imo.

Christian god Genocided the whole planet to prove a point, and the Muslim Prophet, well, look up the age of Aisha when he married her.

We no longer need religion, its just a tool to distract and divide people.

Edgy.

Jesus is King

are there any gods that support democracy?

laugh all you like but the basic philosophy of jesus is love and that is exactly what the world needs.

Yet his loudest followers scream at women at abortion clinics, promote violence towards gay people and basically act like 15th century bigots with torches

Doesn’t sound very loving to me, sounds more like a relationship with Ike Turner

Jesus spoke beautiful words but they’ve been twisted and manipulated to spread hate not love by the loudest “believers” as evidenced in every evil act done in the name of Jesus or Christianity

I’m gonna stick to worshipping the truest deity known to man- our lady and saviour MARY JANE 🤣

with that but the question remains

Yes but they die in an apocalyptic battle with stupidity

yea sure why not, in general i think the catholic church is a force for good in the world

Let's have a look at bit of history:
1) Reconquista of Spain - overcame the previous more liberal Islamic Al-Andalus. Explusion of Jews & Muslims
2) The cultural rape of the Americas - effectively extinguishing the native way of life
3) All of those European wars which were pretty much Catholics vs Prods (Prods as bad as Catholics in this case)
4) More recently - at a time of AIDs and other STDs saying use of condoms 'evil'.
5) Messing up the psyche of its followers by seeing sex as dirty
6) A great place to work as a preist if you don't like adult women and prefer to have sex with under age boys and girls.

Boooom

If I were a smart man I’d have worded my reply this well haha

Love use of such modern issues caused by the church, generally people seem to think the evil they’ve done is centuries ago, but there’s so much in modern history; in living memory that prevents catholism from ever being objectively “good”

Every super power has its good and evil sides too it it’s up too you to keep them balanced in the right way.

Luvin The Mailman

My postman is obviously a stoner, just the way he carries the back all slung back on his shoulder gives it away but he also looks like Wayne (or Garth I can't remember which one is which). I keep thinking I should offer him a bowl of the good shit but he delivers so much weed to me I think I'd be putting him in a bad position.

and inviting him to start stealing it.

I seem to get the same guy who gives me the look. He knows the print 😂
