That’s usually good.

If it’s been literally years, you know the new writers and director are probably going to screw everything up relative to the original, and there will also probably be a change in cast.

I’d much prefer to forget the original than have a good memory of it and be disappointed with the changes.

I wasn't kidding about the one year thing, I'm back! All of these shows were great. You weren't kidding about Bubblegum Crisis, I can't believe I put off watching it for so long, it was rad as hell. Noir was my favorite of these suggestions, literally the only thing that keeps it from being a 10/10 is the distracting lack of any blood. Bakumatsu was super interesting—it's cool seeing a show where half of the characters have Wikipedia pages. There's a certain kind of person who both has a deep interest in the Boshin War and likes historical fantasy, for whom Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto is the best show ever made. I can't bring myself to say that Eat-Man was good, but the concept is interesting, and I absolutely adore Bolt Crank as a character. '98 definitely improved on '97, but I'm fond of both series

I haven't watched everything in your other comment yet, but I did watch Megalo Box, and it's one of my favorite shows now—makes it to almost every list of recommendations because of the differences between the first and second seasons. It's crazy how quickly it goes from shounen to seinen.

Just found it, here's a few other niche "older" anime:

Real Drive - one of my favorite shows that really shows how far technology could go in the future.

HeatGuy J - another sci-fi futuristic one that premiered on Toonami in 2002; the premise is similar to Blade Runner

Dennou-Coil - this one deals with augmented reality, and it is what I think we're getting closer to the more companies invest in AR. It's also well animated and family friendly.

The Big O - another one that premiered on Toonami 20 or so years ago, I used to make the joke that The Big O was if Batman was an anime with mechs.

Desert Punk - I won't spoil much; post apocalyptic dark comedy.

Aaaaand one of my favorites with one of my favorite anime openings ever:

Kyouran Kazoku Nikki - regular dude gets thrown into a marriage with one of the most powerful beings to exist

See you in a year!

A lot of those are already on my list, so I'll make sure they make it onto my screen this year

I forgot to talk about the many other shows I've watched in the last year! Unfortunately I didn't grow up watching anime so I don't have the nostalgia for it that most 90's kids do, but the turn of the century is my favorite era of the medium. I've seen a lot from around then in the last year: Witch Hunter Robin, Wolf's Rain, Ghost in the Shell, NieA_7, Serial Experiments Lain, Key the Metal Idol, Ergo Proxy, Read or Die

I really missed out on this stuff when I was a kid. Ghost In The Shell (the films and Standalone complex) would have been a formative experience for me as a teen

Who said that these anime ends after one season? Many times, they have a cliff hanger ending because the producers were hoping to get a second season or they are a faithful adaptation of the first part of a manga that is only half finished.

LOL. You must've been watching a different Dark than the one I did.

Time travel is a difficult trope to do well, because there is so much potential for paradoxes and other confusion. I always find myself going "So, if they could travel through time, couldn't they just do X?"

In Dark, it started with a good premise, but the last season was a total wreck. It felt slapped together, like they had to come up with an ending in a hurry.

How did everyone suddenly able to use air bending so effectively without being taught, where Katara and Toph barely even know how to control their element when they first discover they are a bender? They just did.

The show moved the plot with "just happened to be" with nonsensical exposition. It's a mess.

They wrote her to be pretty constantly on her ass throughout all 4 seasons, I just don't get this criticism. Yes she was naturally good at bending most elements and physically impressive, but that's pretty easy to accept when she has other major flaws that her character needs to grow to overcome.

It's good that you likes it, it does has its moment, but it destroyed the whole foundation set by the Last Airbender. Korra had issue, but the issue of the series doesn't really stem from her character, it's the whole setup. Like i said, the plot push forward purely by "it just happened", smart guy Zaheer didn't even know power vacuum will just lead to someone replacing the throne, third season story is purely "Zaheer just happened to have airbending power", season two Korra just happened to know how to goes Blue Ultraman to fight Red Ultraman, so on and on.

And yes, Korra may be on her ass all the time, but all her suffering is her own doing. She being an ass to Tenzin in season 2 lead to her getting her ass kicked and all the connection to previous avatar severed. She allow the portal to remain open lead to Republic City's overun with spirit vine, and her getting her ass kicked and mercury poisoned, which lead to her further suffering along with Republic City getting destroyed in season 4. It's a serious issue with the writing because unlike Aang, where his suffering isn't his own making, the writter make Korra constantly making the wrong choice which in turn lead to her and everyone suffering.

Well, if you have enough time to watch season 2 than you have enough time to watch season 1.

At least you know that you loved season one, if you truly forgot everything about it than you get to enjoy it again. Season 2 could suck, you never know.

I love it when I forget TV shows and movies. I can't rewatch them if I know what's going to happen.
