Are you looking for something that's just a distraction, or anything with a deeper plot? Baccano--as per >>83627-is amazing, but to get the full effect you need a direct attention span, so watching while jogging may not be the best option.

If you want complex, than the aforementioned Baccano!, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (or the GitS movies), Death Note, FMA (original or Brotherhood, both are good with great dubs), or Monster (little action, but an exceptional story), Last Exile (original or Fam of the Silver Wing), Fractale, or Speed Grapher.

If you want something less "complex", I recommend Trigun, One Piece, Durarara!! (same folks that did Baccano!, but the story is more linear and all over the place), Soul Eater, Black Lagoon, Persona 4 The Animation, Corpse Princess, Samurai Champloo, Full Metal Panic (not Fumoffu), Un-Go, Gunslinger Girl, or Blood+.

For something where the story doesn't matter in the least, go with Naruto (original or Shippupidoop), Aquarion (especially Aquarion, it's just fun), Heat Guy J (very good dub, but little in the way of complexity), Bleach, Fairy Tail, Code Geass (good action scenes, story is hurp durp for the most part), KenIchi: The Mightiest Disciple (very fun, almost no depth), Ghost Hunt (notice the spelling; "Ghost Hunter" sucks), Lupin the 3rd, 009-1, or anything Slayers. I also find Monster Rancher to have held up surprisingly well, though it's exceedingly corny; MAR is the same way.

I also enjoy Vision of Escaflowne and Mushi-Shi, but both are a far slower pace (even with Esca's fight scenes), so probably won't work well with an adrenaline rush. (Escaflowne: The Movie might, it's far more action-packed.) Steins;Gate might involve a bit more attention than you could provide to really catch everything.

Holy shit I've watched a lot of anime. Let me know if my list is a bit overhwhelming, I'll pare it down to "essentials" for you.

>>83626
I'm gonna be honest and recommend that you just listen to music or a podcast or something

>>83632

This. I don't know if you can speak Japanese or if you have some kind of Google Glasses setup, but I don't know how you can watch a video with subtitles while moving at the same time.

>>83634
It's not that hard, assuming he's on a treadmill. Your head doesn't shake around that much when you walk--if it did, you would hear of a lot more people dying from jogging.

>>83634
You're assuming that anon will only get sub versions, just if sub or dub is more recommended for a series. (The only time I prefer sub is when the dub is horrible.)

Oh you guys. Basically, an hour of jogging is so boring to me that I put a TV in front of my treadmill, and few weeks ago I decided to watch fun shows instead of whatever was on at the moment. I can read the subtitles just fine. My concentration doesn't wander at all so any level of complexity is ok.

By the way, I'm looking for ~13 and ~26 episode shows more than anything. I'll put stuff like Monster and FMA:B on my list since I don't think my schedule is going to change too drastically over the next few months, but stuff like One Piece is right out.

>>83631

A lot of those seem pretty good but you also tried to bait me into watching Naruto and Bleach in the same post so ???

>>83640

Oh, I thought you were like watching it on a tablet while jogging outside or some shit.

In that case, I find comedies work well to keep me going without thinking about it too much.

>Ben-To!
>Nichibros
>My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU

Those three come to mind right away and for good reason. Highly recommend em.

>>83640
>bait me into watching Naruto and Bleach
Not really. I didn't know if you wanted something that was just a flashy distraction or actually really good. Naruto and Bleach have some nice fight scenes, and since the stories tend to suck you don't have to worry if you miss something or picking up where you left off. Basically, "white noise" for the eyes.

Also if you're asking /jam/ you've probably gotten enough info from the Bleach and Naruto threads to know about those before diving in.

Also, Monster is 74 episodes; however, it's well worth it, so please do put it on your list.

Monster is the absolute last series to watch on a treadmill. In fact you should watch it at all, the manga is slow enough as it is, just read it, preferably when you've got some quiet. It's a good manga but it's not meant for that.

You should also not listen to Ninja.

What probably WOULD be a good thing to watch while running your ass off is Jojo 2012. That shit will get your blood pumping.

SONO CHI NO SADOME
JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOJO

>Tsugumomo Ch. 16
YES! YES! YES! I WAITED ALMOST AN ENTIRE YEAR FOR THIS!

>>83640

I've been doing exactly this for about five years now. Well... except I can't afford a treadmill (and don't have the room for one, either) so I just run in place while watching my computer.

As for content, I try to avoid "deep" stuff, because I pay too much attention and stop running to watch intently. I mostly stick to shounen, because the music is upbeat (keeps you moving briskly) and the plot isn't that important or surprising. I watched all of YuYu Hakusho, Dragonball/DBZ, HunterxHunter, Naruto, Outlaw Star, and am now doing Naruto: Shippuden... until I run out of new episodes, anyway. It's nice because I can vary my run time by number of episodes. Normally, it's 2 or 3 (40-60 minutes) but sometimes I'll only do 1 if I'm not feeling up to it. Sometimes, I'll end in the middle of an important fight and end up wanting to keep watching (which means I need to keep running) and this way I keep pushing myself and have a reason to not slack off.


Which makes me ask... why do you want only short animes? You should be doing cardio literally every day if you have the time (and who doesn't have at least 20 minutes at day?). At two per day, you'd be done with even longer animes in a few months.

Keep in mind: animes, especially very short ones, are meant to be watched slowly. Especially with the more complicated ones, they are meant to be thought about and reflected upon for the entire week up to the next episode. Watching a whole goddamn 13-episode anime in six days will COMPLETELY ruin the experience. In fact, watching even more than one episode a week is not really recommended with many animes. At least with shounen, the plot runs at a snail's pace, so it's actually comes out better this way (depending on the anime, though; early Naruto sometimes had as much as 5-10 minutes that was a repeat of the end of the last episode). For the most part, though, it's good.

(Oh, and I've basically never encountered an anime where the dub is better than the sub, but many people will disagree. Generally, however, the more recent the dubbing, the better the dub will be. Use that as a bit of a guideline. Year 2000 or newer usually will be okay, avoid the early 90's dubs unless you want to facepalm a lot, and 80s or earlier will be so Americanized it will practically be a different anime.

If you want to see this trend yourself, compare the early episodes of the Naruto dub with the more recent ones. To make it blatantly obvious, compare the dubs of Saiyan/Frieza-saga DBZ from the 90's to the one they just made of Kai. Holy shit, dude.)

Ergo Proxy is pretty fucking great, man.

>>83640
>>83654
Not to get too off topic here, but I actually do this while playing games. I don't run, because that's hard to do with a controller in your hand, so what I do instead is put the treadmill at the highest incline so that I'm walking uphill the entire time.

So Hulu has Lupin III Part II Ep. 145 and 155, which I'm just watching today. I was quite disconcerted when everyone had a different voice; apparently, these were dubbed by a different company than the rest of the series. It's unfortunate, because the dub for the rest of Part II is quite good; these two have decent quality VAs, but the voices are incredibly generic, not fitting the characters nearly as well as the rest of Part II.

Naked, short-haired Fujiko slightly makes up for it, though.

>>83676
...This sounds like an amazing idea. Now if only I had a treadmill...

>>83676
Stationary bike, my friends. Lower impact than running, more taxing (and therefore better muscle building) than walking, and your head doesn't bob when you're doing it, so anime and/or video games are easy.

Only problem I have with video games is that twitch gaming can be tough while trying to exercise at the same time because of the concentration they take. RPGs tend to be no problem though.

>>83693
T4 your posts have been mostly incoherent ramblings so far, but lately you've been just smack-dab in the middle of creeptown. Like a retarded kid that just discovered his wee-wee.
What I'm trying to say is, please keep your fantasies in the fantasy realm and don't become some serial rapist. Please.

>>83694

To be fair to T4 this manga really isn't pedobait. The art is so non-sexualized that the eleven-year-old main characters look about eight, absolutely nothing of the sex act that starts off the main plot is shown (and it's the result of innocent experimentation, not predation by an adult)...it's just a nonfetishistic comic about an exceptionally young pregnancy, with commentary on Japanese gender and sexual politics on the side.

But man, T4, that post was almost as weird, creepy, and annoying as CandleJack shoving the word shota into everything he can. Ill-advised.

>>83698
And T4 posted so we know the it's NOT CREEPY AT ALL

Has anyone read Yuria 100 Shiki?

I found it amusing at first but it started to wear thin about the time the male lead took a vacation back to his home town and she started getting even closer to forcing herself on his unconscious form, the 'joke' itself is getting samey but more importantly it just... isn't funny after seeing his fiancée and how affected she is by his 'cheating', she might be rich and sort of cold/reserved and naive about physical intimacy but she doesn't seem like a bad person.

Its hard to overlook how MC doesn't even seem to question the reason for why the title character is so sex-mad.

>>83460
>watch the whole show in three days
THIS IS TOTALLY AWESOME!!!

>I assume the "coming next" part at the very end was for the movie, yes? Hopefully it comes state side, as well.

Actually, it was for the epilogue OVA, which had already been dubbed and is on FUNimation's site, but for subscribes only.

Although oddly, using their Roku box channel, I was able to watch the dub of the whole show. I can't tell if it's a preview, if I accidentally bought a month's subscription, or it's some sort of oversight.

>>83694

The series is actually very well-handled. Kodomo no Kodomo is a great example of how one can deal with sexuality without sexualizing.

>someone's been dumping Onani Master Kurosawa and Molester Man on /a/
>all I can think about is how I can't find anything else like them

Seriously, this artist did these in like 2007 and vanished (other than a 3 chapter thing in 2012).

>>83709
If we told you about similar series, would you actually read/watch them, or come back later complaining about something random and generic while asking for recs you don't intend to follow up on as usual?

>>83710

As long as you genuinely think it's similar and not something painfully ugly to read like Boys on the Run, I'm game.

Oh also I'm reading the one about the guy on the train right now.

>>83709
Aku no Hana.

>>83711
Nope, sorry Ninja. Never recommending you anything again.

>>83712

How does the manga compare with the show?

Because I'm trying really hard with the show.

>>83712
What? Aku no Hana is not even remotely similar.
>>83714
The show is complete rotoscope garbage and looks absolutely nothing like the manga.
>>83709
Welcome to the NHK, Otaku no Musume-san, ...Steins;Gate kind of? Though you should play the game of that one because the anime cuts out most of Kyouma's inner monologue.

>>83709
You might want to check out some translated Korean webcomic sites. The series are thematically and genre-wise all over the place, but they generally have the more rough, casual feel that dude's work has.

If that's what attracted you to those series in the first place, that is.

>>83715
Aku no Hana and Onani Master Kurosawa kinda converge over time, IMO.

>>83716

Good idea, I noticed that. I'm checking out My Heart is Beating right now. Any others in particular that come to mind?

>>83715

Aku no Hana and OMK sounded almost identical in synopses. I was psyched for the show but the main character just kinda rolls around crying about Baudelaire while this crazy bitch has her way with him. For like six episodes straight. I'll check out the manga.

>There's an Aquarion sequel, Aquarion EVOL
I will never accuse Aquarion of having stellar plot, characters, or setting, but damn if it wasn't a fun show. The quick synopsis for EVOL makes me think it will trend a bit much towards the harem genre, but I'm still willing to give it a shot.

>>83719
Ones I like that are set in the modern day:
Welcome to Room #305
Today's Department of Sentimentality
Pet Diary (Check out more from this artist, too)
My Young Cat & My Old Dog
Ties of Compassion
Nowhere Boy (this one is more fantasy-based, but it's fun)

>>83728
Oh, and how could I forget Dear, Only You Don't Know and Mrs. Angel! Those are fun too.

I was kinda bummed "Free!" doesn't have a token bara guy.

I think I gravitate towards big muscular men because regardless of how old the character is, if they're a bishounen, they always set off my "possibly pedophilia" horn. With bara, there's no question of age.

>>83738
Who's to say there won't be one later?
Personally, I think the artists behind Free! need some basic anatomy lessons when it comes to all musculature, because some of the promo art was horrifyingly inaccurate. Though I suppose that's a given when you switch a bunch of artists from all moeblob all the time to less squishy forms.

Oh, right.
This is gonna be a thing.
Genei wo Kakeru Taiyou PV 2

Im five minutes into Tsuritama and its already the cutest thing ive ever seen

>>83747
Tsuritama was AoTY 2012 along with Fate Zero. There is not one bad episode of that show and the OP is amazing.

Also ducks.

>>83748
the ED is very cute and soothing too. im starting ep 3 and its such a nice show

Shinsekai Yori seems pretty interesting so far, like a mix of Red Data Girl and Bakemonogatari. I wonder if it'll live up to its potentia--

>A-1

http://www.batoto.net/comic/_/comics/quick-start-r9502
A moeblob 4koma about tabletop rpgs. We have reached critical nerditry.

>>83753
First of all A-1 has all kinds of different products from total garbage like Trinity Soul to absolute fucking masterpieces like the above mentioned Tsuirtama. From the New World is a middle of the road one. It's alright but not perfect. The studio isn't really an indicator of anything in the case of A-1 so much as the actual staff members.

Secondly I knew you wouldn't follow up on any of the recs given to you.

so hows the danger grandpa anime?

>>83758

>youth are promised access to highest quality education and professional development
>when they get there it comes at the catch that they have to kill each other to get out

oh god its just like grad school this is too real i can't handle this show

Oh, huh... that's kinda... wow...
