As the Funimation merger continues, the Crunchyroll library is being absolutely flooded with all sorts of new arrivals. It&rsquo;s gotten to the point where my recommendation article from <strong><span style=\"color:#f39c12\">just a month ago<\/span><\/strong> is already hopelessly outdated, missing many of the very best shows that are now available. We clearly can&rsquo;t have that, so today I&rsquo;m back again to sift through the catalog and extract a focused collection of must-see <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/anime-manga\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"6\" title=\"Anime || Manga\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">anime<\/a> for you all. Without further ado, let&rsquo;s explore the continuing bounty of the Funi archives!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Samurai Champloo\" src=\"https:\/\/img1.ak.crunchyroll.com\/i\/spire1\/d4a4a972d2a19ab73112b971a9276cb01649346067_main.png\" style=\"width: 640px;height: 360px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>First off, given I opened the first article with <span style=\"color:#f39c12\"><strong><em>Cowboy<\/em> <em>Bebop<\/em><\/strong><\/span>, it seems only <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ropriate to continue with Shinichiro Watanabe&rsquo;s follow-up: the beloved <span style=\"color:#f39c12\"><strong><em>Samurai<\/em> <em>Champloo<\/em><\/strong><\/span>. Just as <em><strong>Bebop<\/strong><\/em> combined jazz, westerns, and <strong><span style=\"color:#f39c12\">countless other influences<\/span><\/strong> to incredible effect, so does <em><strong>Champloo<\/strong><\/em> cross samurai drama and hip hop stylings to make something truly original. Often lighter than its morose older brother, <em><strong>Champloo<\/strong><\/em> is elevated through the awkward friendship of its main trio, as well as an all-star collection of animators and episode directors. And of course, like in all Watanabe productions, the soundtrack is absolutely dynamite. Though it didn&rsquo;t quite reach the international reputation of <em><strong>Bebop<\/strong><\/em>, <em><strong>Champloo<\/strong><\/em> is still one of the greatest productions from&nbsp;one of our greatest living directors and deserves your undivided attention.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>My next recommendation comes from a director who also worked on <em><strong>Champloo<\/strong><\/em>, the extraordinarily talented Sayo Yamamoto. Yamamoto first cut her teeth as one of Watanabe&rsquo;s closest collaborators before graduating to spearhead her own aesthetically diverse, tonally mature productions. <span style=\"color:#f39c12\"><strong><em>Michiko<\/em> <em>&amp;<\/em> <em>Hatchin<\/em><\/strong><\/span> is her first original production, where she drew on her own time in Brazil to tell a story of an outlaw and a young girl on the run. Evoking both the Watanabe-derivative cinematic style she&rsquo;d been trained through and the increasingly searing cultural thrust of her later work, <em><strong>Michiko<\/strong><\/em> <em><strong>&amp;<\/strong><\/em> <em><strong>Hatchin<\/strong><\/em> is first and foremost a damn fine adventure, the rip-roaring opening statement of an impressive directorial career. I&rsquo;m still eagerly awaiting Yamamoto&rsquo;s next production, but you can check out <em><strong>Michiko<\/strong><\/em> <em><strong>&amp;<\/strong><\/em> <em><strong>Hatchin<\/strong><\/em> right now, so you should probably get on that.&#039;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Michiko &amp; Hatchin\" src=\"https:\/\/img1.ak.crunchyroll.com\/i\/spire4\/7734b268b93dc88503f30db4d0b40b6a1649346819_main.jpg\" style=\"width: 640px;height: 360px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>These last few drops have also featured more classics from the Kyoto Animation library, beginning with the epoch-defining <span style=\"color:#f39c12\"><em><strong>Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya<\/strong><\/em><\/span>. Though it&rsquo;s fallen somewhat out of public consciousness of late, there was a time when <em><strong>Haruhi<\/strong><\/em> <em><strong>Suzumiya<\/strong><\/em> was inescapable &mdash; the show undoubtedly helped usher in a new era of light novel adaptations. Returning to it now reveals a few cracks in the framework, but also the reason why it was such a hit: <em><strong>Haruhi<\/strong><\/em> is simply a fascinating show, featuring strong comedy, some compelling leads, and an intriguing undercurrent of horror-adjacent <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/sciencee\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"5\" title=\"Science\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">science<\/a> fiction. And since it&rsquo;s by Kyoto Animation, you can rest assured the animation and cinematography will be top-notch. Most importantly, familiarity with <em><strong>Haruhi<\/strong><\/em> <em><strong>Suzumiya<\/strong><\/em> is also crucial for appreciating one of the crown jewels of the KyoAni catalog: Yasuhiro Takemoto&rsquo;s film masterpiece, <em><strong>The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We&rsquo;ve also received a KyoAni classic whose reputation is ever-ascending: the magnificent, incomparable <span style=\"color:#f39c12\"><em><strong>Nichijou &#8211; My Ordinary Life<\/strong><\/em><\/span>. I try to stick to the usual range of ecstatic superlatives when describing these shows, so understand that I truly mean it when I say <em><strong>Nichijou<\/strong><\/em> is the funniest anime I&rsquo;ve seen, and possibly just the funniest thing I&rsquo;ve watched period. Tasking all of Kyoto Animation&rsquo;s exceptional animators with elevating absolute chaos, <em><strong>Nichijou<\/strong><\/em> veers wildly across a thousand styles of humor, following up deadpan absurdism with goofy wordplay with wild physical comedy with charming classroom bickering. Through its best-in-class animation and direction, <em><strong>Nichijou<\/strong><\/em> demonstrates just how much careful execution can elevate even the simplest of jokes. Along with its merits as a comedy, <em><strong>Nichijou<\/strong><\/em> succeeds as a charming slice of life drama, bringing the personal lives of an entire town to life through its dozens of sketches.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For a more recent selection, I was happy to see one of last year&rsquo;s best productions among the new arrivals: the energetic and gleefully over-the-top <span style=\"color:#f39c12\"><strong><em>SK8<\/em> <em>the<\/em> <em>Infinity<\/em><\/strong><\/span>. I&rsquo;d probably describe <em><strong>SK8<\/strong><\/em> <em><strong>the<\/strong><\/em> <em><strong>Infinity<\/strong><\/em> as &ldquo;downhill skating meets <span style=\"color:#f39c12\"><em><strong>JoJo&rsquo;s<\/strong><\/em> <em><strong>Bizarre<\/strong><\/em> <em><strong>Adventure<\/strong><\/em><\/span>,&rdquo; with competitors busting out flashy signature moves and pulling off death-defying stunts in their race to the finish. The project is clearly a labor of love for director Hiroku Utsumi, who&rsquo;s already more than proven her chops through productions like <span style=\"color:#f39c12\"><em><strong>Free!<\/strong><\/em><\/span> and <em><strong>Banana<\/strong><\/em> <em><strong>Fish<\/strong><\/em>. Presented with the opportunity to direct her own original production, she created one of the most stylish and energetic sports shows of recent years, with a genuinely moving personal story at its center. You&rsquo;ll be surprised&nbsp;how quickly you munch through this one.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Sk8 the Infinity\" src=\"https:\/\/img1.ak.crunchyroll.com\/i\/spire1\/ddde0bbd15fd302ad200fa08f7e3f18b1649347007_main.jpg\" style=\"width: 640px;height: 360px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As my last pick, I figured I&rsquo;d highlight something that might last you a while, if only to give me more time to compile my next selection. If you&rsquo;re looking to sink into a project, <span style=\"color:#f39c12\"><strong><em>Log<\/em> <em>Horizon<\/em><\/strong><\/span> stands as perhaps my favorite entry in the current fantasy wave. Focused on a group of MMO players who find themselves (gasp!) trapped in the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>, <em><strong>Log<\/strong><\/em> <em><strong>Horizon<\/strong><\/em> takes an unusually grounded approach to its worldbuilding, digging into fundamental questions of how laws will be decided and societies formed in an alternate reality. It&rsquo;s a refreshingly thoughtful take on the genre, and with three full seasons to watch through, it should keep all you hungry fans at bay for a few weeks at least.
