*spies a Miyazaki fan*

meh im not really that big a fan of miyazaki mainly because he seems to be a western craze. people who do not watch anime will watch his stuff and I prefer a more unknown thing. well rather more known umongst the fanboys of the western countries than your everyday person

From what I've seen, I'd recommend the following:

Cowboy Bebop
Elfen Lied (careful with this one)
Fullmetal Alchemist
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Trigun

Yay, Maria-sama ga miteru :D Though I would've said that's not quite as extreme as Kannazuki no Miko - that's really in your face @_@

To add to M's categories:

Comedy
Jungle Guu
Panda Z
Cromartie High School
Yakitake!! Japan
Kyou Kara Maou

Slice of Life
ARIA
Zettai Shounen

Murder Mystery
Spiral - Bond of Reasoning-
Kindaichi Case Files

Retro
Violinist of Hameln
The Trapp Family Story

Sports
Air Gear
Prince of Tennis
Ginban Kaleidoscope

*spies a Miyazaki fan*

*points to sig*

I have a good reason to like his movies. Totoro was the first anime I watched, way before I knew what anime was. And the only movies I can recall watching before Totoro was Fox and the Hound and Cinderella.

*points to sig*

I have a good reason to like his movies. Totoro was the first anime I watched, way before I knew what anime was.

Ditto. I got my VHS tape of Totoro when I was 4 or 5 years old. :D

I'm taking notes here >.< This is a really useful thread

NARUTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It has drama, action and comedy. It's a great show, has brief romance just watch the first couple of episodes!!! It's great.

And full of fillers too...

I only would suggest it if you were a major fan of long run series (e.g. Conan, Inuyasha, One Piece, •••)

Damn M that alot of manga that u rememberd 0_0. Im impreased ^-^. I tip my hat off to u!

wow!

did you watch ALl those>?

http://anidb.info/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=mylist&uid=123779

That's everything that I own and have watched. It's the link found on the anidb pic in my sig.

I would agree with M. all of those are great anime series especially Eureka SeveN. Neon Genesis Evangelion and Fafner are also pretty good as well as DNangel. Some people like samurai champloo, black cat, .hack, FMP, FMA, and FFU(Final Fantasie Unlimited). Naruto is ok. The recent ones are boring because they are just fillers. Next week Feb. 16, they actually start to continue the orginal story of Sasuke and Naruto i think. :heh: M. congratulations. Even though I have seen most of those, there are some that i haven't thanks for posting those up.

hmmm yall are missin

Samuri Champloo(might be the tightest anime show i've ever seen)
and Ranxaphons

"Ranxaphons" doesn't exist. RahXephon does, and it's up there ;)

So do any of you know where I can buy or download anime perchance?

BitTorrent (unlicensed):
www.animesuki.com
www.downloadanime.com

Purchase (licensed):
www.amazon.com (or your respective amazon supplier)
www.animenation.com

Suprised no one mentioned Mushishi.

Then again no one watches my sort.

I'd have to say (in no order)

1. The Whole Series of Dragonball (Z and GT)
2. Naruto
3. Bleach
4. Love Hina
5. Death Note

Dragonball, I just grew up with it and I just fell in love with it. It's my favorite anime of all time.

Naruto is a great action mixed with comedy and drama. The story is unpredictable at most points. I highly recommend Naruto, but there are a LOT of filler episodes.

Bleach has a lot darker tone than DB or Naruto. The battles are really interesting and even the filler episodes are interesting. The characters are really easy to like and I love this anime.

Love Hina is just plain hilarious.

Death Note is mysterious and darker toned which I like.

my top five:

1. Elfen Lied (well.. full of blood, nudity and violence, but the story behind all that is unbelievable! this series really impressed me and is my favourite since on year.)
2. X 1999
3. Marimite (Maria-sama ga miteru)
4. Shingetsutan Tsukihime
5. Wolf's Rain

You can also download anime from anime eden or anime capsule. I sometimes will use bit torrent but that has a lot of viruses. Anime can be bought all oover the web google, amazon, Barnes and Nobles has some. You can also rent them from Netflix. I prefer downloading since it is free.

Add Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge to the comedy list.

Air Gear is good as well

From what I've seen, I'd recommend the following:

Cowboy Bebop
Elfen Lied (careful with this one)
Fullmetal Alchemist
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Trigun

why would u be careful with elfen lied?

possibly because of all the violence and nudity.. there are heads rolling, a lot of blood, all this.. i heard some people call it a splatter but i think it's not that cruel.

Crayon shin chan is mega funny:lol:

ya i agree. i have seen the first episode of elfen lied and it was really bloody but i liked it.

oh jeez, i'd have to say:
Weiss Kreuz and Weiss Kreuz Gluhen
Ikkitousen
Escaflowne
xxxHolic
Death Note
Tokimeki Memorial ~only love~
Ouran Koukou Host Club (funniest anime EVER!!)
Muteki Kanban Musume (second funniest anime ever!)
Bleach
Kumo no Mukou
Full-Metal Alchemist
X TV series
AIR TV series
Air Gear
Rurouni Kenshin
Fushigi Yuugi
Shuffle! and Shuffle! Memories
and of course, a classic - TRANSFORMERS!

hmm...i never saw most of those but i do like full metal alchemist the most.:poke:

To continue M's list

Sports:
Eyeshield 21 (http://anidb.info/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=2441) - Also comedy
Slam Dunk (http://anidb.info/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=590)
Hajime no Ippo (http://anidb.info/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=129)
Whistle (Manga, I dislike the anime)

uggg, i hate naruto.....

to tell you the truth, it's not inuyasha that's long, it's sailor moon and case closed that long!!!!! case closed is 250 frekin episodes, inuyasha is 164, i think..sailor moon is 201(counting the short{that wasn't translated}ami's first love) my favrot would be sailor moon right next to dragon ball z(they both have a place in my heart) then inuyasha, then case closed

Case closed is far longer that 250. Try 466 and still going. It's still no match for Doremon's some odd 1300.

God : | how crappy are those episodes? They are like milking goats for goat milk.

Oban Star Racer [duh]

lol, of corse for sailor moon (you can tell becuse of my sig) i ment the uncut japanisses(i don't know how to spell it) verison. on www.animecrave.com if you register,($5 per month) they only have the english dubedd stuff :( but it's still anime, so it's ok(unlse it's english dubbed sailor moon, you'll wan't to shot your self...)

*updated: my list*

God : | how crappy are those episodes? They are like milking goats for goat milk.

Oban Star Racer [duh]

Apparently Conan (Case Closed for Americans =p ) is still pretty good. Long stuff doesn't *have* to suck, it just usually does ;)

Detective Conan (Case Closed) is relatively unknown for the american audience but huge amongst the east (Taiwan, Hong Kong etc.).
There are some KILLER episodes/movies that make you splooge and go ;_______;

Try NANA.

Apparently Conan (Case Closed for Americans =p ) is still pretty good. Long stuff doesn't *have* to suck, it just usually does ;)

Lol, true. But still, you don't expect the same quality from something put out in a week that takes some a month or more to make.

animation/sound crew of ten-thousand...?

Of course Conan TV won't be of the same quality as for example an OVA, but considering its lenght and comparing it to other long series it's supposedly quite good.

Man, how come no new more episodes of Case Closed (Detective Conan) are coming to America as far as DVD wise? It doesn't make sense thats a great show too. Here its only up to episode 83. And I didn't even know the show was still going on. Its just not fair, is what it is. The Japanese must think were not very reliable to give us more episodes, and I thought Case Closed was made quite a few years ago, correct me if im wrong, but you would think by now they would send more over. I know they are going through all the original episodes to put them on DVD but they still could work on both. I don't know, maybe once they're done getting all the first few seasons out they'll give us more of the new ones. Where's the love for the Conan fans? I'll tell you where it is. Its in Japan and all those other far East countries. *Ending Rant*

So my favorites and the ones that I recommend are,
1.Dnangel
2.Case Closed
3.Dragon Ball (Includes Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, and Dragon Ball GT)
4.Lupin the 3rd
5.Bleach
6.Inuyasha
7.Spiral
8.Naruto
9.Evangelion
10.Full Metal Alchemist

My favorites are:

1. Anything from Ghibli
2. Azumanga Daioh
3. Digimon (surprisingly good. If you want more mature stuff, Season 3 is very dark)
4. CardCaptor Sakura (NOT THE DUB. The original is great though)


And one comedy that I enjoy is PowerPuff Girls Z.

lol ive almost never had the chance to watch through an entire anime, but of the ones i saw fullmetal alchemist and naruto, and maybe gundam seed and evangelion are the best lol FMA is 1 of my favorites tho

any studio ghibli cuz studio ghibli imo=awesome, uhh...lol i'm not an anime connoseuir like some other people (sorry if i spelled that wrong XD), but lesse...kanon is really good...crap brain fart on more, oh yeah and prince of tennis (i like that anime XD)

i think that a great starter anime would be sailor moon. the whole series... in un cut japanese verson.it's reall good espshly sailor moon sailor stars..

I'm watching Azumanga Daioh again. It's such a nice show. ^_^

To tell you the truth, all shows are pretty much good. It just depends on if it adapts to your feel, what your into. Just browse around, listen to rumors, look for commercials. It's not like there's just a couple of good ones out there. There a whole lot, if you were to look for em all, you'd be as old as moses. But before then, your better off just looking for specific shows you like. For example, if your into action/adventure, just go to google.com, and type in "action/adventure anime shows". And it should guide you from there. An even easier way is to go to the keiichianimeforever website. They've got tons of shows over there in "ABC" order.
----------------------------------------------

And if you still want recs. here's what I'd think you should watch:

Action/Adventure

*Gungrave(look on youtube, they've got the whole series)
*Nurato
*Bleach
*Inuyasha(though the show's gettin kinda old)
*Cowboy Bebop
*Lupin the 3rd(though I don't watch it, I've heard it's a great show)
*Blood+
*D.N.Angel(do they have a show? I thought they did didn't they?)
*Samurai Deeper
*Final Fantasy VII:Last Order(I don't know if they've made an official series, but if they did, seeing from the preview episodes, it's a really good show, including if your a FF fanatic)
*Samurai X
*Ima stop here before you spend you life reading all the actions XD

Drama

*Fruits Basket
*Gundam Seed(For those of you who are wondering why, if you've watched the show, you think more of drama than action)

Comedy
*Bo Bo Bo
*Frogman(I that's what it's called)

Mystery
*Cased Closed (very good show)
*Paranoia

There's more, just don't remember, too many of em.

Paranoia Agent isn't really what you'd call a mystery-type anime per se. Its weird is all I can say about it. But if you ment like if the viewer from the start doesn't know what going on then yeah it is. But I wouldn't invest my time in watching it again. Its only 13 episodes and is just plain weird. The first reference to knowing the show is weird is the opening theme song- now thats creepy- they all smile while dangerous calamities happen, while strange music plays. And don't even get my started on the ending theme. But if your into weird stuff and like not knowing a thing untill the last episode then yeah go ahead and watch it.

lol yeah, I thought that show was wierd and creepy myself. I mean a boy with a baseball bat?

Mahou Sensei Negima - Magister Negi Magi

lol yeah, I thought that show was wierd and creepy myself. I mean a boy with a baseball bat?

Hey, not just a baseball bat, but a golden baseball bat!

Ooh shiny :lol:

Oh wait, its not just a golden baseball bat, its a dented golden baseball bat!

Ok your probably tired with the adjectives.

lmao, yeah, seems yall really pay reaaaaal close attention to the details in animes lmao. wow...:)

Well, yeah thats pretty much the only item that I can remember from Paranoia Agent in good detail. I mean there was that pink dog type doll from it, but I can't remember the name of it.

I find Code Geass (Sunrise = Gundam Series) really likeable...There are 2 "heroes", the one we follow around the most uses (in nice terms) - rebellious warfare...and the other hero goes about it the way it has been since the middle ages...

Of course, it invovles the AU universe where Brittania has taken over Japan, so mechs all around, political turmoil, senseless killings, general hate for a general people...etc...stuff that keep an anime going.

It's still ongoing, with the last 2 episodes planned to air (sometime) this summer...not sure when...and a 2nd season announced...Such beautiful twists with episodes 21-23 right now...(PS - People call it a cross between Deathnote and Gundam SEED, with character art by CLAMP)

----

Another nice one was Scrapped Princess (Studio BONES = Fullmetal Alchemist), which is licensed...so I can't watch it on crunchyroll anymore...A questionable main pairing though, but it fits with a bit of logic...26 episodes and done.

I guess I can safely say that you haven't lived if you haven't watched Honey and Clover...at least the first season. The series is simply a masterpiece that ingeniously incorporates elements of comedy, slice-of-life, drama, and romance into one of the greatest series of all time. And this is coming from somebody who had watched action series religiously. ;) Chances are, you'll find yourself laughing out loud one moment and crying the next--especially if you're able to identify with any one of the characters, which, I should add, are very well-made. Aside from the plot and amazing cast of characters, a unique artistic approach and amazing soundtrack make the series even better. This is truly a gem. >:D

And to totally cancel out my excessive Honey and Clover promotion, I'll throw in a good word for Gankutsuou. Basically, this is a quasi-sci-fi adapation of The Count of Monte Cristo. The visuals in this series are breathtaking, although the style may take a while to get accustomed to. The plot was very nicely done, and the characters are well-sketched out. :) It's definitely a must-see if you enjoy dramas.

And if you're looking for pure comedy, Ouran High School Host Club>Azumanga Daioh. ;)

I highly recommend the following:
One Piece
Naruto
Detective Conan
Great Teacher Onizuka
Deathnote
Bleach

Cluster Edge.

It's awesome, just plain awesome, there are 2 episodes that I didn't like though, all they did was go over past episodes, but it was worth it.

If you looking for some anime movies, you can never go wrong with the Lupin the 3rd movies. You can actually buy them together in sets of five, and they aren't expensive. They are pretty good in length too.

If you don't like Lupin then you can get the Ghibli film movies. They are all good. There are too many to list as well. Or anything by Hayou Miyazaki is hit as well.

Chiccha na Yukitsukai Sugar (www.anidb.info/a9)

I've seen like the first episode of Le Chevalier D`Eon. Its pretty cool, you know being set in France in like the 1500s or 1600s. Or around the rule of Louis whatever. Its a little weird about the revenge part when that guy turns into that girl, but its pretty cool. Obviously you can tell I haven't seen much of the show. So don't criticize me, and I haven't seen it in a while.

I recommend Fate/Stay Night also.

Currently ongoing:

Darker Than Black
Nodame Contabile
NANA (Well technically it's over only the fansubbers are going at half the speed of smell)

Currently ongoing: iDOLM@STER Xenoglossia or Idolmaster Xenoglossia. Reminds me of Neon Genesis Evangelion in my opinion.

Mahou Snesei Negima (Magister Magi Negi)

But my all time favourite that is hard to get hold of is

Negima!?

It is so good!

Case Closed-amazing detective show. I only started watching it because it said Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. (Honest to God, at one o'clock in the morning, I was jumping up and down on my pillows, positively screaming, "Yes, Yes, YES! I love you, Sir Doyle! My neighbors had a couple of things to say to me the next day, but it was worth it.
Death Note, freakin' awesome. Left me breathless.
Anne Freaks<--first manga I ever owned. All four volumes out now. GET THEM!
Naruto bored me after the Genin exams.
Fullmetal Alchemist ended at the perfect time. It didn't act like the energizer bunny.
InuYasha is amazing. Had to be with Rumiko Takahashi. Anything from Takahashi.
Hellsing, the graphics are a bit different, it's got lotsa gore, and precisely zero romance. I love it.
Arm of Kannon- Scared the bejeezus outta me.
Yami No Matsuei/Descendants of Darkness left me in the dark.
(All fanboys: close your eyes and skip this!)
FAKE is the most adorable yaoi I have ever read! Sucks that they only made one movie and not a series on it.
Golden Cain. ::DROOL::
Yellow, detectives, hot, hot, ::gasps::
Dost Thou Know
Loveless (OMG, kitty-boys! ::POUNCE::)
Selfish Love
Play Boy Blues
(Kay, you can read now.)
Kitchen Princess
Yu-Gi-Oh
Digimon
PokeMon
Shin-Chan scared me, left me clutching my eyes in pain. I never want to see a seven year old dance on a table with his butt hanging out ever again.
Angel Sanctuary. It's such a cute story, even with the incest and all.
Okay, done for now.

Any news on a Full Metal Panic 4th season?
According to some concept art i've seen and the novel, Sousuke doesn't have the Arbalest anymore.
Which means he's not some unstoppable Goku-esque character anymore just because he can use the lambda drive.

Erm.... *recommended* anime thread. Not the "What are you currently watching" thread.

Eureka Seven (For action, adventure, mecha, drama, romance, sci-fi, some comedy, and total character perfection)

Ergo Proxy (philosophical, drama, action)

Black Lagoon (Crime, drama, action, humor)

i recommend ouran high school host club, tokimeki memorial, shuffle, nagasarete airantou, and mai hime

oh yeah negima too!

You guys also missed the other season of Full Metal Panic, Deathnote, Gintama :\ ...i think thats it. I didnt see School Rumble, i think.:think:

Higurashi no naku koro ni, got some beautiful music (pretty demented too)

also evrything made by makoto shinkai,
Beyond the coulds
Kaze no koe
byousoku 5 centimeter

the way its animated is just awesome and the music fits right in
got to love tenmon ^^

Kateikyoushi Hitman Reborn. About a person being train to be a mafia. Comedy!

OVA, Boku wa Imouto ni Koi wo Suru (http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=3318)

XD

Nothing like the Incest anime! XD

Incest anime is disgusting.

Sorry if there are repeats :)

If you want almost all action, Claymore, Bleach and Full Metal Alchemist are your top choices. If you want a good balance, I recommend Kaze no Stigma and Eureka Seven.

Humor-School rumble, ouran high school host club

romance-School days ,melancholy of haruhi suzumiya, tsubasa chronicles, kanon

Suspence-Deathnote, Ghost in the shell

Action-Gantz, Samurai Champloo, Samurai X, scyed, naruto, blood+, yuyuhakusho, one piece,inuyasha, wolf's rain

Meaningful-Elfen Lied, Saikano, Noir

from favorite to least favorite for each genre though there is no such genre such as meaniful, i meant a genre that makes u think, unless ofcourse... u dont want to think

I think you need to read some Moetan... You might learn punctuation, spelling, capitalization — hell, you violated every rule of grammar in that last post!

hehe, i just skim through what i type, not really caring for spelling, punctuation, or sentence structure

lol...Moetan...best anime evar...

No one mentioned Shaman King? D:
i thought it was quite nice .

Gundam ftw though xD

I recommend Shingetsutan Tsukihime. One of my all-time favourites and the music is gorgeous. :)

My recommendations are:
1. Fullmetal Alchemist -( the script and character developement is great. My favorite anime so far)
2. Bleach
3. Eureka Seven -( good anime makes you think. It can be confusing though and Eureka can get kinda anoying)
4.Naruto -( at first I couldnt stand this show, I gets better towards the end though. The cons are, to many filler episodes, the episodes dont get to the point and waste time making there more episodes than needed)
5. Inuyasha -( this used to be my favorite episode but now on cartoon network they show the same epis over and over, also Kagome is anoying, too many filler episodes, & the script could be better, I still recommend it though b/c it is simple and a classic love story. You dont have to think when you watch this show b/c everything is mostly how it appears. If you just want to be entertained watch this show, but if you want alittle more than I dont recommend it.)

:eek: HOW COULD NO ONE SAY KERORO GUNSOU??? This is an awesomely hilarious anime. I reccomend it to anyone who likes a good laugh, and also it contains various Gundam spoofs. Check it out here for more information: Keroro Gunso - Anime News Network (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=3711)

Gurren lagann is pretty damn good. You should check it out. It just keeos getting better and better.

im sure a lot of people have mentioned it already but i would recommened CardCaptor Sakura and Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles plus XxHolic.

and to anyone who likes Ken Akamatsu Love Hina and Mahou Sensei Negima, one of my faves.

Do u like doujinshi?

Or heard of it?:)

Hey do u think u guys could give some good sailor moon doujinshi's cuz i can't find many and i love doujinshi they are cool can u guys help me?

Go to a book off? Don't double post. =/

Fushigi Yuugi, Inuyasha, Fullmetal Alchemist, Azumanga Daioh, Scrapped Princess, Chrno Crusade, Naruto and so much more I can't possibly name them all

oh yeah don't forget gunslinger girl and gg2!:sweat:

If you are into the school-life and love comedy types then i recommend the following :

1) Tokemeki Memorial : Only Love
2) Da Capo II
3) H2O; Footprints in the sand
4) School Rumble Seasons 1 & 2
5) My Wife is a High School Girl

Lucky Star! =D If you can get past watching the first 2 episodes, it's pretty good. I actually missed Konata after the series ended =(

Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei is a pretty ok one too.. the second series just came out recently, haven't tried it yet, but hope it's as good as the first series.

Would have recommended Clannad for this season (afterall, Air and Kanon were both good) except it's going quite slowly... feels like it's being dragged out too much.

And those who recommended School Days... =_= please tell me... why???

its kinda funny how the destiny of my quick question thread was to become a sticky.

but guys did help me out. And all of the other people that visit this thread.

lol... sorry, dont know much anime to recommend! But! if i ever come across a great one, i'll tell you!!! ^_^[/QUOTE]

thanks alot then! anyway i prefer sports manga/ animes (i'm a bit picky)

By the way, Prince Of Tennis OVA 20 and 21 (RAW) is expected to come out during the end of april to the month of may if everything goes well ^^

I'd suggest.....

Death Note
Naruto
Castle in the sky
Nausicaa and the valley (either of or in) the winds
Tsubasa (the manga)

I love Drama anime.

A little of my experience:

Those Who hunt Elves
Evangelion
All Dragon Ball
Ah Megamisama ( Oh my goddess)
Cowboy Beabop
Kimikiss
School Days (I really love this one!!!!)
Rec

and...

I dont remember more :P

Id recommend
Evangelion
Cowboy bebop
bleach
Tsubasa Chronicles/ Watch Card Captor Sakura with this (probably watch card captor first.)
Full Metal Alchemist
Full Metal Panic/2nd/fumoffu
Prince of Tennis
Gundam Wing (and Last waltz)
Fate stay night
School Rumble
Eureka Seven

Fate//Stay Night
Code Geass
Eureka Seven
Clannad
Macross Frontier
Death Note
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

I recommend Clannad.-

Adding some more to the list:

Evangelion Rebuild: You are [Not] Alone
Crystal Blaze
Kamen no Maid Guy
Hayate no Gotaku
Shion no ou
xxxholic

Kanon 2006
Clannad
Ef - A Tale of Memories
Code Geass
Rozen Maiden

Pure action genre stuff no longer appeal to me for some reason.. Plot depth ftw =)

hahas, this month, we will be seeing alot of new animes...for the month of july: zero no tsukaima:princess no rondo, seikirei, slayers revolution, Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto: Natsu no Sora, scarecrowman, Seiyou Kottou Yougashiten, Hidamari Sketch X 365, strike witches, Tetsuwan Birdy DECODE , Yakushiji Ryouko no Kaiki Jikenbo, Natsume Yuujin-Chou, Mission-E( this is the sequel to Code-E), World Destruction ~Sekai Bokumetsu no Rokunin~, Koihime†Musou, Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu and Mugen no Juunin.

and for those who watches gundam 00, season 2 will be out in October i think >.<

Of those that are listed, I think only Hidamari Sketch x365 is worth watching. Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu also looks like an otaku flick, and I personally tend to like those, even though 90% of them suck. Perhaps Telepathy Shoujo Ran will turn about, or Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu won't put me to sleep or the boobs of seikirei will stop growing, and Birdy the Mighty Decode would get some clothing that isn't latex. Fecking J.C. Staff is going to ruin Slayers for me, and What's this? Another season of Harry Potter Ripoff Zero no Tsukaima? Who'd of thunk it?! I think THAT anime blog did a good job with describing Strike Witches.

Strike Witches - In a world where pants were never invented, brave girls fight for the pride of their nations whogivesafuckingshititsfanservice. 2/5.

Seriously, there hasn't been a good release since last winter, and sequel hell is hitting the shelves. It's starting to get frustrating. After all, everyone /loves/ Chi's sweet home and how awesome it is and how it demands 108 episodes which is about 35 episodes more than CCS (I suppose I should be thankful it didn't hit the Hamtaro 400s).

Bah. When anime fails me, I fall back to manga and novels.

I'm eagerly awaiting ef - a tale of melodies =)
Other than that... probably going to catch up on old stuff this season (and follow Code Geass R2).
May or may not watch ZnT III. Saw the opening and it was already full of fan service... At least Shinkichi is still composing for them...

Thats wrong if people have the right to put those dumb stupid videos that waste peoples time then anime should not be removed from youtube!! lol well thats what i think youtube is a place to put videos up right then why not have anime related videos on youtube...hm.........yeah thats it

Erm... Wrong thread. Even above that, the topic of youtube removing anime has been closed.

My favorite anime is by far Cromartie High School. So hilarious.

My Recommendations are.
If you loved the lord of the rings then Record of Lodoss war is for you, and for anyone who loves a good action adventure anime.

Looking for a good feudal japan anime? Check out Samurai Deeper Kyo and Inuyasha.

Futuristic, aliens taking over earth? If you've seen StarShip Troopers then you must see Blue Gender.

DMC, if you've played the games then you must see the anime.

The Gundam Seed Series in my opinion is the best Gundam series there is. in my opinion.

Secret organizations, assassins, badazz main character, then you must watch Black Cat and Darker Than Black.

Well those are my recommendations for now. You can look em up at www.anidb.net

Hajime no Ippo is the first and only anime that made me read the manga.

Anyway... I'll just say that it's a boxing show. Even I, someone who does not like boxing, think that it's the best anime.

I just finished Hajime no Ippo about a week or so ago, and I loved it. It made me start working out and eating better again. =D
I'm on the road to becoming a ferocious boxer, hahah!

:cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

Almost no one recommended D. Gray man *crawls under computer desk and dies*
I seriously LOVE this series, so you guys should at least watch the first episode of it (personally I think it's better then Bleach)

Shounen Onmyouji is good too.

Well my favorite anime movie is Millenia Actress

and my favorite anime shows are Full Metal Alchemist and Full moon wo sagashite

Death note!!!! definitely!!!

I recommend:
Spice and Wolf
Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei
Myself;Yourself
Clannad
Code Geass
Soul Eater
Voices of a Distant Star
Tora Dora ( must watch!!!!!)
Hyakko
Buso Renkin
Kodomo no Jikan ( funny but definitely not for every one!!!!)

Well, Moribito: guardian of the spirit recently started airing on adult swim, and that's a pretty interesting series so far. :D There's also bleach and death note, which really kick ass. XD

bleach, ghost hunt, soul eater, d gray-man, jigoku shoujo, special a, code geass and many more which i cant recall. hahaXD but all these is the animes a watched already. and i loved it all very much. hahaXD

SKIP BEAT !!! ^_^

my best and favourite anime and manga is Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle
Hana Kimi, xxxHolic, Full Moon Wo Sagashite [manga version] are all very good too.
I enjoy also Naruto, Gakuen Alice, Full Metal Panic.
^-^

White Album for the NANA fans. Both captured my attention moments into the first episode.

adding more to list

kara no kyoukai
clannad after story
Maria†Holic
shikabane hime aka
Asu no Yoichi!
Kurokami
Sora wo Kakeru Shoujo

didn't really like white album after the second ep. I'll continue watching but so far it's kind oh meh.

This anime is relatively new and I didn't check through all the pages to see if anyone had put it up buuuut,

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

its soooooo good! I HIGHLY recommend it if you are any kind of anime fan

lol that's not relatively new unless you live the US. Yeah its pretty good show

Shikabane is ridiculously difficult to find via my usual lazy methods...

And Kurokami seems epic, especially that first fight scene. The premise reminds me of Shakugan no Shana. I'm waiting to hear how good the OP is...

OMG! I'm sooo bored! Can anyone pleeeease reccomend some good anime shows? I'm looking for shows similar to BLEACH (which is the awsmst show evah, which most people think is wierd coming out of my mouth cuz I'm a girl :lol:) or any romance or comedy shows. I usually hate romance (which most ppl think is wierd for me to say cuz I'm a girl), but I'm just in the mood for romance. I don't care if it has cuss words or blood in it- just bring it on!

Detective Conan seems very popular among girls.

You might not like it though seeing you like the new stuff (Bleach). It seems to takes a certain maturity to appreciate.

Ummm, well to be honest with you, I like guy shows better than girl shows. You know, the ones with fighting and blood and all that good stuff. But I'll try it. Thanks anyway.

Romance? Blood?.....

School Days

Okay, whatever. Forget the romance. On with the blood!

@katluvr33: lookin for blood? try kara no kyoukai... ep 5 ftw.... hm... others to recommend...hm........let me think

@infinityEX: rofl.... not so much blood till the end....

Ugh, school days is totally not something to recommend for someone coming off of bleach... I already know full well about the boat ending, but still can't find the resolve to watch through 11 episodes (currently postponed on 6) of frustration and intense loathing for the protagonist to reach that light at the end of the tunnel.

If you want blood, Higurashi no Naku koro ni and its sequel are quite good, along with Elfen Lied and Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan (lol).

edit: Oh yeah, go watch Fate/stay night. Despite the visual novel being superior, it's still a fairly interesting series.

The whole point of School Days was to hate the characters, and that's what makes the Nice Boat such an epic scene. Though, I will admit, sticking it out to the end was hard, but it was such a unique progression that I haven't seen before in this quality of anime.

Could we try something that's in English, please? I don't understand Japanese or Chinese or anything like that, you know. I'd like something more similar to Bleach, okay? Something like Death Note would be nice too. Death Note is great up until the part where Light turns good. It gets really complicated after that (and boring, too). If there's no shows like those, a romantic comedy like School Rumble would be okay. I'm soooo bored!!!

Since I doubt most of us keep tabs on what shows have been dubbed into English, it's difficult to recommend anything if you don't want to watch sub-titled anime. The closest thing to Bleach is arguably Naruto, for better or worse.

In my opinion, to mention any character 'turning good' in Death Note is to completely miss the point of the series. But as for similar, Code Geass is the series most frequently compared with it. And it's a great series.

As for romantic comedy, Clannad and Kanon (2006) are both excellent; however, they lean more on the romance than comedy side (especially the latter). Kannagi, Zero no Tsukaima (first season only!), Seto no Hanayome, and Hayate no Gotoku are all worth a look.

One Outs!
Kaze no Stigma!

Both recommended for anyone =]

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann~!

It bleeds rainbow-robot-epic-comeback-scenes

Plus I've never seen an anime with so many explosion scenes. There, there's your action

or if you really want something more mainstream, you can try Soul Eater

anyone have seen the newest episode of Toradora .....XD it was awesome.

anyone have seen the newest episode of Toradora .....XD it was awesome.

Yup!
Can't wait for next ep. Kushieda!!!!! exciting!!! :lol:

Anyone know any good anime movies I can watch? I've already seen all the ones by Hayao Miyazaki and they get boring after a while.

Some anime to watch, okay these are my top animes:)
Heroic Age
Full Metal ALchemist
Bleach
Soul Eater
Eureka Seven
Naruto
Blood+
Code Geas
Black Cat
DN. Angel
Gungrave
D-Gray-man
Rurouni Kenshin
Last Exile
One Piece
Movies: Sword of the Stranger

Anyone following this season's new releases?

Kurokami has some of the best animation I've seen in a long time, though I'm not particularly fond of the character designs. Still, the premise reminds me of Shakugan no Shana for the first few episodes, except the Tsundere roll is switched =)

And also, I think Eve no Jikan is going to be the dark horse of this season. I just watched the first episode, and there's already so much potential. It's kind of like Chobits, but one step up and without the ecchi genre.

I'm not sure if anyone's mentioned this before, but:
Big O

It's a pretty good anime which is pretty much Batman+Gundam.

ride back is pretty entertaining so far as well as chrome shelled reigos

Currently Watching Read Or Die aka R.O.D, it's one of the few animes that's interesting yet does not inspire thoughts ^_^

.

@katluvr33


well
since you do have the patience for them in the first place
[i did like spirited away tho 8D]
you should most definitely watch
"Girl Who Leapt Through Time"
it has great animation; how the characters move and all
and even though the story may seem boring at first, [i clicked it and watched it out of boredom], it gets REALLY good. omg. XD [i almost cried!! e.e;;]

I think that ARIA is one of the best anime I ever seen.

M, either update the list or give me the rights to do it. Also, reserving a Tokyo Godfathers thread. If anyone dares to make a thread before I do I shall smite them.

:sigh:

First off, my list is my own. It's not a syndication of everyone's statements.

Second off, there hasn't been really that much that's happened since my last anime update. Very few anime have gone under the radar in the recent 17 or so months, and their mention was placed in this thread already, thus I felt no need to update my list.

Third, it's not possible to allow someone else to edit another's post. You'll have to live with this fact.

The anime to change your life...

...But it's a treehugger anime... And a big one at that.

I can suggest Dokkoida to everyone. Great fun if you like random stuff, but not in a way like Excel Saga is random.

...But it's a treehugger anime... And a big one at that.

And it's FANTASTIC!

Treehuggers = always bleh

It was a bit too "deep" for me, was difficult to enjoy cos it was trying to be very artistic. The music was great though :D

Agreed. Kanno is my idol :P

Well...going a bit modern over here but, I've just come back to anime and I have to say that I am really loving 07-Ghost at the moment

Anyone have any recommendations for an anime of shorter length similar to Bebop or Champloo?

did anyone mention kekkaishi or kampher or sieken no blacksmith or fma brotherhood

Kekkaishi is too long and feels like it was designed for children. It has its moments but it feels generic the entire way.

Kämpfer lacks any sense when going about its story, but it hosts a lot of male turned female gender humor. Though, Princess Princess and Otoboku does it far better.

Sacred Blacksmith is kinda up in the air. It reminds me of Valkyria Chronicles and Toukusho Seikan, with a dash of Queen's Blade (lacking the acidic lactose).

Have yet to see FMA:B.

All in all, they're good, but not worthy of recommendations.

Let me see... Try watching:

- Angel Beats!
- Kaichou wa Maid-Sama!
- Blood+
- Shikabane Hime
- Mai (My?) HiME
- Kurou Phantom Memory
- Chrono Crusade
- Lucky Star
- Murder Princess
- Princess Princess
- The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
- Shakugan no Shana
- Kiddy Grade
- Kiddy Girl-And
- Burst Angel
- Ghost Hunt
- Princess Resurrection
- D. Grayman
- Naruto
- Bleach
- Naruto Shippuden
- Special A
- Ouran High School Host Club
- Death Note
- Tegami Bachi *It's a bit boring though...*
- AIR
- Clannad
- Kanon 2006
- Clannad After Story
- Nyoron Churuya
- The Melancholy of Haruhi-Chan Suzumiya
- Inuyasha *It's kind of old since it's... well... OLD*
- Futakai Alternative
- .hack//Liminality
- .hack//SIGN


I think that's only some of it. I can't really give anymore unless I dig into my head a bit more just to grab some more animes out. :unsure: Um... You should just watch out for some of these if you don't like... THOSE moments. Other than that, they're all great animes to watch at these times... I think in my own opinion. :think:

I dont know if Durarara!! was mentioned.
I also love Full metal Alchemist: Brotherhood.
Both of them are brilliant.

WOW. O_O
That's a lot of anime/manga left I have to watch/read. Gotta start watching more animes since I've been slacking off of it. *Laughs*

Lol, Kiddy Grade was horrible XD

Try Kiddy Girl-And. XD

it depends on what genre of anime you are into......

Black Lagoon.


Anyone mention that yet?


CAUSE IT IS FREAKING AWESOME

Have you seen the Omake? It's like the Fumoffu (Full Metal Panic) of Black Lagoon.

Which? There are tons of omakes for Black Lagoon, right...?

The ones on video, 7 of them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J89MVNHVL6k

Schoolgirl Revy makes my day.

Some newer animes that look pretty good are
Fate Zero (like Fate/stay night)
Majikoi oh! Samurai Girls
Blue exorcist
uta no prince-sama
and some more... i jus cnt rrly remember them..

I'm not sure if I updated the list here, but here goes:

1. Kara no Kyoukai
2. Steins;Gate
3. Red Garden
4. Lucky Star
5. Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom
6. Ouran High School Host Club
7. DOGS: Stray Dogs Howling in the Dark OVA

These anime/manga are awesome ^^

1. Katekyo Hitman Reborn!
2. Fairy Tail
3. Beelzebub
4. Ouran High School Host Club
5. Gakuen Alice
6. Kaichou wa Maid-sama!
7. One Piece
8. Black Cat
9. Tokyo Mew Mew
10. Fushigi boshi no futago hime ... or ... sort of season 2 - Futago hime Gyu!

Basically, that's what i've watched or read and i think they're great, but everyone has their own opinions!! ^^
But the first 2 are seriously awesome!!! XD

Persona 4: The Animation. ;)

Persona 4 and Fate/Zero are the big players of this season.

Can anyone suggest me any good anime? I feel like watching something that's somewhat fantasy themed... Magic Knight Rayearth, Slayers, Scrapped Princess, that kinda stuff. Occult stuff like Hellsing or Chrno Trigger is good too. I like action and humour, I'm not keen on fanservice.

Hope someone can recommend me something to watch :P

I'd love to say Umineko (http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=6051), but it became crap really quickly, and it feeds off of its own cheesiness.
Rental Magica (http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=5189) is Occult, but it sometimes falls to fanservice, but the five story paths it takes from the books are pretty well done.
Mnemosyne (http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=5530), while it likes to make the main characters go naked during fighting all the time with and without taste, has some pretty epic moments in action and occult. Think of it as Black Lagoon meets Zombies.
Darker than Black (http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=4906) is also pretty good when it comes to the action, though it likes to delve into the "I wanna be complicated like Evangellion" phase every once in a while.


There's also some of the classic big names like Witch Hunter Robin (http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=96), Beserk (http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=98), and mainstream Yuu Yuu Hakusho (http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=312).

The recent anime with these themes are laced heavily with Moe and Fanservice. For example Madoka Magica (http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=8069) is incredibly dark, and occult, but it falls back on to Chibi-Moe in between action sequence.



And I don't know why, but Pandora Hearts (http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=6288) also comes to mind when I was writing this up.

There wasn't much moe, iirc, and I think the moe that was there was mostly just to make the dark parts seem even darker. It was a pretty good show.
For occult (and Shaft!) I'd go with Bakemonogatari and Nisemonogatari, though. I haven't seen Bakemonogatari since it came out, but I remember thinking it was great, and I've loved every episode of Nisemono so much so far. Some people might complain that it's "trying to seem smart," but I think that sort of criticism is unwarranted when the show is genuinely smart. The show's clever enough to have me smiling through every episode, and a lot of the humor has me laughing.

I recommend them, Neko! Madoka, too!
Also, Ghost Hunt, for sure. It's not very well known, but I liked it a lot. The way they treated the supernatural was really neat, I think.
And Berserk is fantastic, but I'm speaking for the manga. Haven't seen the anime, though I imagine it has to be at least good, considering the source material.

I think you'd also enjoy Haibane Renmei. It's not especially scary or dark, but there are some pretty creepy parts. It's more of a supernatural mystery than anything. A girl wakes up in a strange town she doesn't recognize. The town is surrounded by high walls that nobody is allowed to cross or look over but there are people inexplicably disappearing from the town anyway. The show follows the girl as she tries to figure out what's going on with her new home. It's definitely worth watching, I think, for its uniqueness, if nothing else. I haven't seen much else like it.

Just want to say this: now that's freaking creepy.

I never could make so much sense from Orphen. Maybe because I watched it in Spanish and the castration was all screwed up... But I love the music in Orphen Revenge!

Just want to say this: now that's freaking creepy.
lmao. BAN THAT MOTHERFUCKER, STAT. XD
Actually, no. Neko should do it, right before reclaiming his true name.

Wait, someone registered my old name? That's.... very suspicious.

What Macross series/films/OVA's are good anyway? I remember watching Macross Zero and loving it, then I tried to watch Macross 7 and it was the most horrible piece of crap ever x_x

Given that criteria, you prolly will only like Macross F. It's their anniversary anime that basically merges all of the best of each of the Macross Series that precede it. The original Macross is decent, but it is heavily dated to the point in which it actually effects you as you watch it. Still the original arc really does set the stage. The others are more like ugly stepchildren when compared to these three.

I heard that Macross Plus was pretty good too so I might check it out just to see if it's any good to me... I don't mind old anime, some old anime is still great despite it looking horrible compared to today's stuff :P

I started a download for Samurai Champloo yesterday, apparently it's okay.

Alright, I'm currently in the process of... acquiring Pandora Hearts, Mnemosyne, Rental Magica, Darker than Black and Madoca Magica.

So much for the... occult stuff I guess. How about some fantasy stuff like Scrapped Princess, Fullmetal Alchemist and Berserk? :P

I haven't watched the Berserk anime, but the manga....drags. A lot. Darker than Black, I found a bit hard to get into, but it late became quite good. On Pandora Hearts, I'd say that you should read the manga instead of watching the anime. IMO, the anime had too much blur for their art style, and the dark aspect of it is toned down. The manga.... screws with your mind. Not going to tell spoilers, but you might have to read the whole 70+ chapters again to understand it. FMA? LURVE IT. The first anime was...eh for my tastes, mostly because of the ending, but Brotherhood made me shed tears of SHEER JOY. Never have I found a series that combined fantasy, science, philosophy, comedy, action, and drama so well.

Fate/Zero. That is all. B)

I used the list M made here, its very useful.
