Good animes you're watching or have watched?

[kenshinS14sks]

So i thought i'd just throw this out there... im a little "picky" according to my friend and it's really jsut cuz i have a SUPER busy schedule and i like to watch anime to wind me down or when i eat but it's so hard to get into another good anime when you're waiting on new eps or when the one you've been watching is done. . . so i thought i'd just ask you guys for your opinions

for an idea on some of my favorites to reference to (in no particular order) are:


Samurai Champloo
Death Note
Full Metal Panic (ALL OF THEM)
Full Metal Alchemist (except when the evil scientist dude kills his own daughter, that was whack~)
GTO (great teacher onizuka) FUNNY AS HELL!!
Outlaw Star
Cowboy Bebop
Kenshin
Naruto (except for the fillers and the extremely dragon ball long fight scenes)
Bleach (except for the fillers =i)

Macross Frontier (too muh waiting cuz it's not done)
Soul Eater (also too much waiting)

[BustedS13]

haven't watched anything in forever, but a buddy of mine brought over Tokko a week ago and it was pretty rad.
and the new dvd's of dragonball... ARE OFF THE HOOK. beautiful transfer.

[kenshinS14sks]

...but thanks for the req =D anything a little more stomach friendly? funny or just plain cool

[HyperTek]

Death note was awesome , ending was a shock
Black Lagoon was awesome I give it a + . Short series but awesome ending was cool. The art style is good, very gritty.
Wangan Midnight id watch if they would fansub it
Initial D is good *im surprised people here dont say they watch it, guess too scared to admit it without being called a fan boy*

Samurai Champloo!

Mainly for the music, but the anime is pretty enjoyable too

Finished up the DVD set off Netflix the other weekend

[ESmorz]

I used to watch the shit out of Cowboy Bebop and Dragonball Z.

Then I graduated middle school... and haven't watched any since. Except over last summer my buddy tried to get me to watch Naruto and it was really meh. Most predictable story of all time and childish art style. No thanks.

ive seen pretty much all the gundam series except for the ones newer than gundam wing (like gundam Seed)

[MAGILLA]

I don't believe anyone said: Vampire hunter D

[02BRB20]

gundam 0080 is about as anti-climatic as it gets

[Chaws15]

I don't believe anyone said: Vampire hunter D

I thought that was more famous for its movie.

I can name quite a few anime movies if that were the case.

[muddafakka]

I currently watching Wangan Midnight even though I can't understand what they're saying.

[StaticX27]

This thread is about good anime, not just list all the anime you've watched, right? Just checking.

kindaichi shounen no jikenbo - Really good detective anime. Its about the grand son of a really famous detective going around with a cop and his friend to try and solve different cases that happen to fall on him.
http://myanimelist.net/images/anime/10/3741l.jpg

Bus Gamer - Interesting anime. Guys are all forced to team up with each other in a life or death type game where the prize is a ton of money. Every rank in the game they go up, the higher the prize is. Kind of like who wants to be a millionaire, except there's lots of beating each other up and killing :P
http://myanimelist.net/images/anime/8/5512l.jpg

Hellsing Ultimate - I know this may be blasphemous, but I didn't enjoy the original Hellsing series too much. It jumped around way too much and kind of muddled the actual story, but that's where Ultimate made up for it. They follow the series in the first 2 of 4 episodes, but the last 2 episodes have been nothing but Alucard whooping ass and taking names, and it ALL MAKES SENSE!!!!
http://myanimelist.net/images/anime/6/7333l.jpg

Naruto Shippuden - I mention this one moreso than the original, because Naruto's childishness was getting really flipping annoying IMO. However, the 4th movie that just came out made me really appreciate the series more. That and it made me research a song with a JDM afro and a wanna be Michael Jackson...
http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/anime/3/2011.jpg
JDM afro song (ending song to the Naruto Shippuden Movie) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ki0yOXvfO8

Hayate no Gotoku - A story of a no-luck boy who suddenly has to become the butler to a spoiled rich girl. He has to do such daily tasks as cleaning, cooking, maintaining the girl's image, doing battle with assassins, and piloting giant robots. This anime makes the most puns on animes, worse than Yakitate Japan, which brings me to my next one :)
http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/manga/4/682l.jpg

Yakitate! Japan - If you never thought an anime about making bread could be extremely funny and still manage to be extremely good in terms of plot-line, continuity and character development, then you've never seen Yakitate! Japan. Story is about a boy who has a rare gift among bakers (Solar hands) which enable him to make some amazing bread. He embarks on a journey to make a bread that only Japan could be known for (Like how france has "french bread). Its incredibly funny, and also gives lots of actual explanation about certain professional baking techniques, along with a little clip at the end about making the bread at home (including making a loaf of bread with a rice cooker... Name me ANY other anime that will do that!)
http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/manga/2/60l.jpg

Claymore - Lastly, this symbol of ownage. Very nice, indepth story centering around a half demon-half human demon hunter and her human companion. The claymores are outcasted by human society, but depend on them when demons invade their village. Unique system, but the Claymore's still do their job. Demons are all over, as Clair (the main character) searches far and wide for the demon that killed her former master Teresa.
http://www.boontan.net/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/claymore.jpg

Now I'm also a sucker for those high school drama type anime's for some reason, so I also recommend series such as:
Kimi ga Nozomu Eien
Kimikiss - Pure Rouge
School days
Saishuuheiki Kanojo (AKA Saikano)

Those titles... All extremely jacked up. I cried watching Saikano, at almost every episode...

Tokimeki Memorial - Cute anime, typical high school drama, except you have a crazy chicken that does a dragonball type move at the very end. Its pretty cool though, I actually do recommend this series

Just for sheer bad assness:
You're Under Arrest! Full Throttle (I didn't see the original)
Shakugan no Shana
Ghost Hunt
Fate / Stay Night
Shingetsutan Tsukihime
Black Blood Brothers

And lastly, Dai Mahou Touge. This anime is just wrong on so many levels... The princess of magic land goes to Earth to learn about her future kingdom. She is the cutest thing ever, especially in personality, except when she's "forced" into combat situations, then she becomes a ruthless, merciless killer.... She uses a magic wand that's a candy cane to bring things like vegetables to life to murder, or if she's forced to, she becomes a godlike pro-wrestler... I can't quite explain this, but this youtube clip will explain everything:

Princess Monoke (?)
Spriggan....prob one of my favorite movies to watch ever

[StaticX27]

how old r u guys? im 24 now and jus wonderin if you can be too old to watch anime to where its creepy lol

I'm 24, and girls think it's hot that I admit to watching "cartoons" as an adult. And for those that think it's lame, I'm a Japanese major, so I call it "studying"

[bardabe]

I'm 18 lol but I don't really care, I always have and prolly won't grow out of it. My GF think its lame, I told her if she dun like it GTFO

The Fruits Basket: interesting piece of life anime
Macross (1983): my favorite love triangle/ mech show
Armored Trooper Votoms: realistic mecha action in the 80's
Macross Plus: awesome hand drawn and cgi air combat
Gundam 0080: probably the saddest anime i've seen
Blue Gender: AIC's gore fest
Argento Soma: dark and plot twists


Current:
Gundam 00 - very well done gundam wing for the 21st century
Macross F: one of the most expensively produced anime i've ever seen
Black Lagoon: stylish mafia action
School Rumble: happy and funny times

[niSm095]

I really hate 99.98% of anime, because I think it's poorly drawn and poorly animated. That being said, I do have to give props to the Now and Then, Here and There series, because the story line is fucking amazing. That and Princess Mononoke is really epic.

Other than that, vampire hunter d is cool. The street fighter cartoon is awesome too, but I don't know if that counts as anime.

[kenshinS14sks]

Beck is super dope too

[StaticX27]

JDM Beck ruled... USDM Beck made baby Jesus cry.

There's a new series out called Vampire Knight that's actually pretty cool so far, only 3 eps are out.

[Exploder39]

Ghost in the Shell

FLCL aka flooty cooty



i believe you ment fooly cooly.


I suggest Battle Royale, not an anime, but a really good japanese flick. The book it is based off of is banned in some countries.

[DanS14RB]

Macross Frontier is ridiculously awesome. Nobody does transforming mecha like SK.

I'm pretty sure he was joking about the first part.

And since it's an anime thread, I'm pretty sure he/she wants anime. You could search or create a movie thread if necessary.

And to get back on topic, I'm watching the first episode of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. It looks really promising!

omg i just remembered.. . can't believe noone's mentioned one of the BEST fighting movies

s-CRY-ed!~!!!


wowowoowoowowowwo buy my car

[kingkilburn]

Man I hated that show. It has a cool theme but it's to damned corny.


For the best fight scenes I would have to go with Cowboy Bebop.

[Omarius Maximus]

i believe you ment fooly cooly.


I suggest Battle Royale, not an anime, but a really good japanese flick. The book it is based off of is banned in some countries.

I loved the first Battle Royale, but the second one was an absolute abomination of a movie. Greatest dissapointment ever.

My favorite animes:

Heroic Age
Macross Frontier
Eureka 7
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

My least Favorite animes:

Stuff that is manga derived, aka
Dragon Ball Z
Naruto
Bleach
etc...

Mainly because the manga moves so slowly that they have to artificially slow the anime down somehow to compensate...so what do they do?

How bout 15 minute stair downs between two characters before a fight? Or 5 minute recaps of the previous episode? Or Filler episodes that are poorly written and animated?

I think there is about 10 minutes of content in a 30 minute show with manga derived animes.

Sure, as a manga, Bleach, Naruto, DBZ, etc are amazing....but as Animes...they suck balls.

[golds1400]

full metal
gun sling girl is good 2
trigun the shit

fate stay night FTW no one even mention this???

[kingkilburn]

You can't say that about all manga derived anime. Take FLCL for instance. The only thing lost is the art style. It has all the intensity and strangeness intact.

The original Dragon Ball was good too.

[kenshinS14sks]

jungle wa itsumo hale nochi guu!!!!!!!!! freaking FREAKING HILARIUOS!!!

[ESmorz]

Just started watching Gundam00.

It's really bad ass compared to most of the other Gundams. The story line is like a good book.

[OptionZero]

gurren lagaan is badass

classic giant robot story there

macross frontier is mecha porn, political drama, and high school drama
mainly tho
its mecha porn

nobody does fightes like shoji kawamori and bandai basically said fuck it here's a monster budget, animate the fuck out of it

[aznpoopy]

id typically agree with that but macross 7 has sullied kawamori's reputation in my mind. macross frontier kicks ridiculous amounts of ass however, so i guess he's redeeming himself. episode 7 was incredible. this is definitely the best macross since the original and plus. i think it might even be better than plus. its what 7 should have been. next ep looks like its gonna tie in to zero... should be interesting what they have to say about it.

gurren lagann was over the top ridiculosity. 3rd arc was a bit weak but i loved the plot advance they did mid way through; very nice ending as well.

besides macross frontier i'm fairly hooked on code geass r2. and killing time with slightly pornographic comedies kanokon and to-love-ru.

[norcal_black240]

Few animes ive been watching latley.

Gintama
bus gamer
wangan midnight
one piece
d gray man

Anime's i like to rewatch

samurai champloo
great teacher onizuka
Golden boy
yu yu hakusho
and the list will go on and on haha

Gurren Lagaan was insane. I never seen a ending fight sence where the characters threw galaxies at each other! Ending was sad but so is every good anime.

**Spoiler alert**
Didnt his brother say he was gonna return better than before 10 days/years right before he died??? I was waiting the whole series and he never came back! :cry:

I just finnished watching 9th episode of Macross Frontier. Im enjoying it but still not as good as og or plus... yet.

[CrashQueen]

oh dude,


along the lines of anime,

have any of you actually seen this?


It looks really interesting so if you have give me your input on it....

http://youtube.com/watch?v=W1QWsu7G9Ic

[PhAtXSuMo]

only anime i have watched i woudl say is Initial D, Ranma 1/2, DBZ

[playthe_part]

Everything I have watched has probably already been mentioned in this thread.

Recently watched "Welcome to the NHK" and I got to say it is one of my favorite animes I have ever watched. The first part is okay but the middle and end episodes are great, so give it some time.

[turbobrick]

Gintama ( funny as hell )


I first heard about this show reading this post, and now I've watched almost every episode, and I love this show.

[IIIXziuR]

Wow, what a cool thread.
It really has been quite a while since I watched anything anime related.
But this sure is bringing back a lot of memories of cool shows!
I think it is definitely time I get back into it!
Always fun to watch and escape reality for a bit.

A lot of cool recommendations in here for sure.
For some reason I really enjoy anime from the 80s and early 90s before computers played a huge part in the animation and overall feel.
The details and design seem so much better and technical looking in the older animes. Like AKIRA and GHOST IN THE SHELL for example.

Been wanting to check out BARI BARI DENSETSU for a while but cannot seem to find any downloads nor one that is subtitled. Awesome animation and it is from the creator of Initial D, Shuichi Shigeno. It deals with motorcycle racing. From 1986.

[koroshiya87]

cowboy bebop, deathnote, trigun, samurai chammploo

[muddafakka]

Macross Frontier got me hooked. I watched the first 10 episodes this weekend on Veoh. Gotta watch the rest on Youtube...unless there's a better place someone can recommend me?

Did anyone see the UH-60 Blackhawk in ep. 9 or 10?

And I had this stuck in my head all day
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wieStI7kN-I

[Leetheslacker]

i'm watching cowboy bebop again. for the millionth time.

its like the only anime i actually like the dubbed version.

i really should get all of champloo cause its in the same vein as cb.

[braingone]

I don't really watch any anime outside of adultswim.

Cowboy BeBop, Eureka 7, Ghost in the Shell, are prob my top3. Death note and bleach are good too.

Oh and does anyone know if the latest Death Note episode on Adult Swim(Saturday) was the last one of the series?

haven't seen any of them in so long though

[Om1kron]

I'm really into mech anime's and love series anime too as long as I can sit and watch it in one shot. I'm glad I didn't discover macross frontier until late august.

Last episode is this thursday =(

[trad1987]

Ive only seen initial D and wangan midnight. Initial d was sweet for the first 2 stages, but the second two lacked storyline. It was just battle after battle. It got boring.

Wangan midnight was sweet. Has anyone else seen it?

[kenshinS14sks]

-cowboy bebop was awesome, music, animation, and storyline were great
-mononoke is a classic that needs to be watched and is even still good by today's standards
-ninja scroll is the standard by people's "introduction into anime" but now that i'm of age. . . it's just soft porn and there are a lot better animes out there
-initial d . . . was good maybe for like the first 5 minutes . . . into the first episode . . . and then it got boring really fast with badly repeated computer animated racing scenes, etc.

[powersteeringless180sx]

I've been watching Macross Frontier it's soooo good....

For some comedy I've been watching Ranma 1/2 and Desert Punk.

I just ordered a copy of Macross Do You Remember Love Yesterday.

[PBucch]

I really enjoyed ninja scroll, some great classical themes represented in that film if you can pick them up. I really disagree with your soft porn assessment.

Yeah I am like 4 episodes into initial d but I keep falling asleep.

I really prefer movies to series, unless its berserk or soemthing equally engaging.

[3-240's-N-aMule]

Elfen Lied.

[BustedS13]

it's been a LONG time since i had Viz catalogs coming to my house and traded bootleg tapes of Ranma in the mail because the real ones were like 30 bucks each.
i saw that NGE thread and realized i had never watched Evangelion. i've now watched the first 13 episodes and plan on finishing the series in short order.
my buddy Rob, who taught English in Japan for a year and can't stop jerking off to RPG's and bubble tea, for whatever reason recommended i watch Air Gear. so i watched a few episodes, and man, it's shitty. i think he likes it because it has nudity, and he's a conservative christian who won't go to the titty bar with us.

cliffs:
Evangelion = this is really old and i'm just now watching it, wtf
Air Gear = this is new and it's really shitty, but has boobs
I also keep noticing the kids what with the cat-ear hoodies and the body odor talking about something called Fooly Cooly, which i've found has six episodes, so i'll probably crank through that.
has anyone watched Gunsmith Cats? this is another show that i somehow missed when it was new. you know what? i don't think i ever even finished Trigun. and for that matter, i've never seen an episode of Cowboy Bebop.

what other CLASSIC series have i missed? do not say Tenchi, because that shit is gay.

[jimmytango00]

Ninja Scrolls is the shit!

im watching D-Gray Man right now

check out basilisk and Bleach ( i know kiddish but still entertaining)

ghost in the shell...

these are all pretty mainstream but still good.

[Xbroke_kidX]

i miss Trigun shows legit. OutLaw Star is old and pretty popular but I loved it.
Are they any good sights to stream episodes from?

[jimmytango00]

Watch Anime Online | English Dubbed / Subbed Episodes (http://www.animefreak.tv)


the best.

Trigun = )

[word sux]

the only anime i whatch is ones with giant robots fucking shit up.


woo gundam

[IIIXziuR]

I can't get into a lot of the new stuff. The computer done animation just takes away from the feel of the series. Animation/Art/Look is a big part of it to me. The older stuff is usually way better.

[RurouniMidnight]

Fooly Cooly is pretty crazy, really busy and cool visually. Id recommend Gungrave if no one has seen that its one of my favorites.

[Z33dori]

just bought the collector Ed box set of Gundam Wing last weekend...

few others i wanna get:
Out-Law Star
Cowboy Bebop
few others i cant think of right now

[HyperTek]

i tried to watch Air Gear a few months ago because i randomly picked it off a anime stream site.. yeah i thought it was pretty gay.. Its hard to jump into new series, most of teh plots have been done b4 so they tend to be cookie cutters.

I watched a few episodes of Skip Beat! , wasnt bad.. Teenage girl decides to get into show business as revenge for the guy she liked who eventually dumped her when he got famous. Was pretty cool but than got annoying because she whines too much.

[drift freaq]

Eureka 7- was pretty cool. Damn near all the airships and mechs in it are named after old school Analog Roland drum machines and synths and its got a whole rave theme running throughout it.

Cowboy Bebop is a total classic

Fooly Cooly is by far one of the best short series animes ever done.

Trigun was good

I also wound up liking Lelouch of the Rebellion and Morbito of course two of my all time favorites are Bleach and Ghost in the Shell.

[simmode1]

Ok... on Air Gear... Don't watch it. Read it. The anime is horseshit. The manga is the hot shit.

The hottest anime out right now is Full Metal Achemist: Brotherhood. It's the best thing I've seen in like... a decade.

The original Full Metal Alchemist vaguely stuck to the manga up until about halfway thru, then from episode 26 on, it was all filler bullshit and a filler movie.

The new FMA show starts with 15 episodes to recap the "true" parts on the original anime and then from there it follows the manga precisely. If you're not watching or reading FMA... you're missing the best thing out.

Other woefully underrated shows:
Full Metal Panic
Black Lagoon
Karas
Hellsing Ultimate
Scryed
Read or Die / Read or Dream (watch the OVA before you watch the show)

These 2 aren't underrated, but recommended viewing:
Samurai Champloo
Wangan Midnight (if you liked Initial D)

[tricky_ab]

Looking for older shows to watch?

-Fist of the North Star (movie and tv show although the movie is better)
-Ninja Scroll
-MD Geist
-Berserk
-Genocyber
-Guyver (the original OAV)
-Cybercity Oedo 808
-Devilman
-Doomed Megalopolis

[singlecamslam]

There is a good manga called sanctuary, i'm not sure if its an anime though, i read it and though it was cool.

[soreballz]

-Berserk

YES.

Viewer beware: If you hate hate hate being left hanging at the end of a season, I'd suggest you stay away from Berserk. As soon as I finished the last episode, I yelled, "Holy fuck, I need to buy the second season!" But there is no second season because the guy that made it is ultra focused on the manga... Fuckers.

[bardabe]

all shows are good, I agree with Driftfreak Eureka 7 is a must. i have the complete series.

-Devil May Cry is good
-Naruto from the beginning its a must
-Bleach ive heard its good i just can't get into it. :/
-FLCL is a good anime too bad it's only 6 episodes.
-Gundam Anime = The SHIT

[SochBAT]

GATSU!!!! Fucking shit up.

Scryed is rad. Too awesome.

TokyoUnderground is really awesome. Do watch.

[simmode1]

-Gundam Anime = The SHIT

I was wondering about checking out Eureka 7, but you saying Devil May Cry was good means I can't trust your opinion. That show sucked ass. Considering the DMC was produced by Madhouse, the same anime studio that made shows like X, Ninja Scroll, Hajime No Ippo and more... I expected more. The story was terrible... alot like Blade of the Immortal anime.

Bleach is decent viewing. Naruto is definently better. The problem with Bleach is that it doesn't do well at a adding good story go with all that action. It's like the creator of Bleach kinda throughs in some intrigue and drama as an afterthought. It comes off feeling like a slightly more intelligent DragonBall Z.

Gundam... I avoid like the plague. Very few mecha shows are on my recommended viewing list. Most of them just don't bring anything new to the genre. The only mecha shows I recommend are Evangelion, Full Metal Panic and Macross.

GATSU!!!! Fucking shit up.

Fuck yes... Berserk was awesome. I like shows that bitchslap you when you think you know whats going on...

YES.

Viewer beware: If you hate hate hate being left hanging at the end of a season, I'd suggest you stay away from Berserk. As soon as I finished the last episode, I yelled, "Holy fuck, I need to buy the second season!" But there is no second season because the guy that made it is ultra focused on the manga... Fuckers.

He had to... There's alot in that manga that is too graphic to animate and not be considered hentai...

Samurai Champloo
Wangan Midnight (if you liked Initial D)

I forgot about Scryed, lol I even sampled some of the lines from it and used them in drum and bass song.


I also forgot about Samurai Champloo which I thoroughly enjoyed. I don't care what anyone says what I like about Bleach is the whole interplay between Ichigo, Rukia and Orihime that never quite gets resolved. Its like on one hand Ichigo is totally there for Rukia and then you now Orihime secretly loves him, and he is there for her too.

Of course call me strange but I favor Rukia.


Oh and for shear straight up fucking funny ass shit?Shin Chan

[DreEzed]

To the OP all those animes you listed are good to watch. Except Air Gear its better to read like simmode said.

Anime List:
-Blue Submarine No.6
-Baccan
-Black Lagoon
-Samurai Champloo
-GTO(great teach onizuka)
-Tengen Toppa Gurren Laggan

[Antihero983]

Inuyasha, Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, Gundam Stardust Memory (i think), Ill need to go home and check my stash.

[OptionZero]

+1 for Full metal Panic and FMP FUMOFFU!!!

[Agamemnon]

Area 88 - It's from the 80's, but its still really good with a great plot. I dont think its dubbed, but it is subbed. The OVA is in 3 parts and the series is one season.

Series
YouTube - Area 88 - Opening (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AnzglRqzTU)

FLCL - Great series about growing up. The sound tracks kick ass.

Inuyasha - Yes it has a huge female following, but the main story arc is top notch.

[Bubbles]

Fooly Cooly


Is weird as fuck.



and for that matter, i've never seen an episode of Cowboy Bebop.


I'd start there, that series is the bomb.




Since I've been sick for the last 4 days I've gone through half of Death Note, it's pretty cool you could try that.

[Touge Noob S13]

I don't care what anyone says what I like about Bleach is the whole interplay between Ichigo, Rukia and Orihime that never quite gets resolved. Its like on one hand Ichigo is totally there for Rukia and then you now Orihime secretly loves him, and he is there for her too.

Of course call me strange but I favor Rukia.

Is it because Rukia looks more Asian lol. Anyways back on topic, Im surprised no one has mentioned (ninja edit bubbles mentioned Death Note) or The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya yet. Lucky Star is pretty funny if you are into weird anime lol. Mahou Sensai Negima was ok too but the manga is better.

[IIIXziuR]

Some cool stuff mentioned in this thread, I totally need to nerd out soon and watch a bunch of these. Tricky ab listed some good stuff!

[S13shaka]

soul eater
gunbuster
diebuster
samurai 7
hunter x hunter
initial D
capeta
cassan or casshern
blassreiter
giant robo
yu yu hakusho
rurouni kenshin

[hOngsterr]

whaaat?

- Golden Boy (short but, its funny as hell)
- Samurai X (not kenshin <-wussy shit)
- Flame Of Recca
- Mobile Suit Gundam 00 (somewhat new)
- One Piece (so far the best anime out IMO)
- Full Metal Alchemist - Brotherhood
- Ninja Scroll
- Samurai Champloo
- Hajime No Ippo (its about boxing.)
- Bleach (it's alright, stupid fillers.)


thats my list.
for now lol

[uraznfriend]

heres some great ones that havent been said
baccano (quick watch but amazing)
clannad & After story (Number one anime on most anime sites)
ef a tale of memories
higurashi no naku koro ni (Freaky)
REC (really short but very fun)
Spice and wolf (Great characters)
Toradora

[IIIXziuR]

Paranoia Agent was cool.
Another short series but It was done really well. Interesting to watch.
I'd say it is worth checking out. Modern Anime but good.

[TcJayLee]

My boy actually just turned me onto anime, he told me to watch Claymore. Its actually not that bad.

[Sileighty_DRFT89]

Fooly Cooly is pretty crazy, really busy and cool visually. Id recommend Gungrave if no one has seen that its one of my favorites.

dude. i've been looking for that show gungrave forever! I saw it one late night on tv but it was just one episode and I couldn't remember the name of it. Ihave been trying to come across it ever sicne. thankyou!

[r-b-x]

i recommend a show called "akagi". it revolves around mahjong, but understanding mahjong isn't required, because the show focuses on the psychological and mind game stuff. the drawing style is unique, maybe a little offputting at first. and the titular character is badass.

mononoke (different from princess mononoke, but all miyazaki stuff is cool too) has awesome art style and interesting stories.

astro fighter sunred
shin mazinger
gungrave
samurai champloo

those are my favourites from the last few years. most new stuff is pretty crap.

[cooltomato]

darker than black anyone?

[simmode1]

My boy actually just turned me onto anime, he told me to watch Claymore. Its actually not that bad.

Claymore was interesting, but I can't watch shows with bad soundtracks. And that show's sucked.

Every show that I've recommended is not only good, but also guaranteed to have a badass soundtrack that you probably wouldn't mind listening to on the side...

[turbobrick]

One of my favorites I haven't seen mentioned yet is Gintama. Its pretty funny.

[Touge Noob S13]

I also keep noticing the kids what with the cat-ear hoodies and the body odor talking about something called Fooly Cooly


Dont forget the Naruto head bands lol. I never understood what the deal is with the cat ears and why they dont bother to bathe.

[sleep]

Berserk is by far the best i've ever seen.

Bleach is awesome

Samurai Champloo has incredible fights.

update
my nerdiest buddy and i are going to start Anime Night on thursday nights. some of his suggestions, some stuff that stuck out to me, watched while playing Dominion or chess or whatever we feel like. we'll be sampling the following this week:

Gurren Lagann
Air Gear
Code Geass
Gunslinger Girl
Gunsmith Cats
BECK Mongolian Chop Squad

also, i remember watching this one show where these guys were fighting spirits or zombies or some shit, might have been a special police task force... there was a chick with a sword, it felt kind of like Bleach in nature... i know this is incredibly vague but can anybody help?

...oh, and i read a while back that Funimation is going to be re-dubbing Initial D, and they're going to do the whole series. hopefully they won't give it aural HIV like Tokyopop did... i still haven't watched Fourth Stage yet, i think i'm going to wait until the Funimation dubs show up.
....fuck subtitles, i'm not Japanese.

[IIIXziuR]

Sounds sweet. I want to do an anime night too ha.

I just remembered that Funimation has it's own TV network.
I was spending the night at someone's house and I remember watching something really terrible like Boogie Pop Phantom on it but being super excited.

Yeah, and seriously, that Tokyopop I.D. sub was so so trash.
Stage 4 was boring.

I've been dry on anime for the last year or so.

Anyone want to recommend me something to watch if I enjoyed "Full Metal Panic" or "Love Hina"?

I'm looking for another series with the type of comedy both of those series used.

Ive never seen Full Metal Panic but if you want love-hina style stuff you will like Negima (both were made by the same guy). It follows the story of a wizard kid who has to teach at an all girls school to get his wizards certification. His class is very unique and consists of sluts, a lesbian, a bi chick, a robot, a ninja, a vampire, a total bitch, emo chicks, nerds, a ghost, ect.

There's an anime convention in Ohio at the end of the month.

It seems pretty big and legit, actually.



Dance and karaoke, could be epic.

Cosplay, could also be epic.

Super smash brothers, getting my ass handed to me by 13 year old asians, epic.



I have maybe, two friends who would even consider going.

[IIIXziuR]

I say go for it dude. Full detailed report upon returning from that chaos.

[Bubbles]

I'd love to but the two guys I could get to go with me are so p*whipped they'd need an earlier notice.

Not a chance I'll go by myself, that would be too much for me to handle.

[Touge Noob S13]

I've heard those conventions reek of BO. Anyone here ever been to one?

[uraznfriend]

i've been to the anime expo in LA during the summer
it was quite cool seeing cosplayers, new anime stuff, cute girls in school girl uniforms
my brother and i completely forgot to bring a camera and more money, but it was pretty damn fun

[Baka Sama]

Dont Watch:

Ghost In The Shell: Complicated for no reason.. And boring after a while.

Serial Experiments Lain: Weird and boring


Do Watch:

Tengen Toppa Gurren Laggan: It gets better as it goes along trust me.

Great Teacher Onizuka: Very funny
Escaflowne: I liked the series and the movie
Flame of Recca: Older anime but well done
One Piece - If you have the balls to jump into a 400+ eps series its worth it, very funny

wolf's rain was okay but the story was really wtf is happening

[simmode1]

Baka-sama... Read or Die OVA is the hotness. Read or Dream TV is ok, but the ending feels really flat. Still worth watching, I suppose.

[sileighty92]

some of my favorites:

blood+
Elfen Lied
Grappler Baki
Heroic Age
Samurai Deeper Kyo
witchblade
fist of the north star
Shigurui
prince of tennis
shadow skill

I hope you're wrong just for the fact that I just got that and am going to watch it soon.

Still planning to watch Tengen sometime.

LOVED Cowboy Bebop, Death Note, and Samurai Champloo.

Haven't finished GTO but I like it.

[snafupossum]

Fooly Cooly is pretty crazy, really busy and cool visually. Id recommend Gungrave if no one has seen that its one of my favorites.
:stupid: FLCL ftw

ive been watching gundam 00 for the past couple days and love it, im in the middle of part 1 disc 2 of the series. Its like gundam wing with a more modern political feel to it, because it has a lot to do with earth resources and terrorism(trying to not spoil anything).

[Baka Sama]

I hope you're wrong just for the fact that I just got that and am going to watch it soon.

The movie or the series? Let me know what you think. I might just be slow but I had to watch the ending twice just to figure out what happened.

Read or Die OVA is the hotness. Read or Dream TV is ok, but the ending feels really flat. Still worth watching, I suppose.

Yeh It looks really good. Ill have to start it up this week when I have some free time.

[Bubbles]

I've got the series, which were you talking about?

[Jakob]

desert punk
code geass
hellsing ultimate
black lagoon
full metal panic
one piece
elfenlied
death note

^great animes

[uraznfriend]

can someone explain to me why eflenlied was soooo amazing, i found it kinda boring and overly gory

[simmode1]

My old weird roommate liked Elfin Lied... I tried watching it and was like... WTF... Hell no. I usually don't like anything he likes.

Unrelated: OMG. The newest Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood episode 41... SO GOOD! For real guys... if you are not watching that show, you are currently in the act of being stupid.

[Bubbles]

I'll do my rundown.


Initial D - Loved it, my buddy who doesn't care about cars liked it.

Code Geass - First anime I watched during which I realized anime existed.

Cowboy Bebop - Amazing.

Samurai Champloo - Also amazing, maybe even more than CB, which puts me in a rare crowd.

GTO - Solid. Felt a little slow in the middle at times.

FLCL - Didn't get it, may try it again.

Death Note - So good. A ton of progression, plenty of surprises. Love the character L.

Akira - Overhyped, I wasn't impressed.

Michiko to Hatchin - Didn't like the end. I had high hopes going into it.

haha i totally agree with what you said about flcl and akira. i think a lot of people just say they liked flcl because of the style but i didnt really get anything from the story imho.
check out yu yu hakusho if youre into older animes

[Touge Noob S13]

i've been to the anime expo in LA during the summer
it was quite cool seeing cosplayers, new anime stuff, cute girls in school girl uniforms

Zilvia caravan to anime expo this summer :hide:.

[Bubbles]

I'll add that to the list.

I'm going through them pretty quick but that'll change before long.

[DreEzed]

Zilvia caravan to anime expo this summer :hide:.
I'm down! :hide:

[uraznfriend]

yay im not gonna be alone this year

[speed_racerx]

gundam just came out with a new series call "Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn"

sounds corny and funny, but its pretty badass. the only downside is that it is a 6 (58 minute) episode series. the real kicker is that only 2 episodes are coming out yearly. episode 2 is supposedly due autumn 2010.

http://superrobotwar.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/srwhotnews_uc_pop1.jpg

http://www.gundamblog.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/unicornscan.jpg

[Bubbles]

I have the real life version of that guys hair.

[Enna]

I saw that Gundam Unicorn episode. The name is still very off to me, but wow it was pretty sweet. Its great to see all the older suits with updated HD graphics. Holy shit though, I felt like a gundam nerd after watching it. I knew everything they were talking about with the history lesson, and already know who 'Audrey' is. Fuck.

[udon!]

can somebody recommend an anime thats really funny?

[simmode1]

can somebody recommend an anime thats really funny?

Can't beat Full Metal Panic: Fumoffu, IMO. But you gotta watch the first season of Full Metal Panic first so it'll make sense. Don't worry, the first season is still very good with nice sprinklings of comedy in it. But Fumoffu is over the top hilarious...

[speed_racerx]

I felt like a gundam nerd after watching it. I knew everything they were talking about with the history lesson, and already know who 'Audrey' is. Fuck.

damn.. you're making me question myself on how big of a gundam fan i am, cause i don't know who "Audrey" is....:confused:

[kingkilburn]

Baka Sama:I can't believe any one wouldn't like Ghost in the Shell(movie and show). I can see Lain but GitS, no way. lol



I also don't think you are supposed to "get" FLCL. It's just a bunch of crazy stuff going on. Very internet generation.


As far as funny goes . . . Shin-chan, Colorful, Cromartie High School, maybe I'll think of more.

[Bubbles]

I watched about 5 episodes of GITS and couldn't get into it, I gave it some time and tried again but I just can't get into it.


Everyone who's into anime acts like FLCL is the most happening shit ever, maybe they're just all bandwagon jumpers.


I'm only 3 episodes into Hajime No Ippo but it's pretty badass already.

[udon!]

anybody watch great teacher onizuka? i think thats going to be the next one i watch...

[kingkilburn]

I would recommend trying to read the manga first. The show assumes you get the gist of what's going on and just throws you in.

I can't explain at all why I like FLCL. There is nothing I can even think to criticize it for.


I've read a couple volumes of the GTO manga. While I didn't dig the art style(SUPER eye brows for one thing) I did like the writing.



Has any one here seen SLAMDUNK! ? I got hooked on it while living in korea. I've never seen the whole thing though. It seems like every time some one gets the rights to show it in N. America they go under.

[Enna]

Udon I highly suggest you read GTO. The anime is great (live action also), but the end is bullshit. Read it.

Also Speed RacerX, its 'kinda' obvious, maybe just to me though. I did just finish watching Zeta Gundam again less than a week ago, kinda helps having that reminder. My aim contact is on here, msg me and we'll talk.

[Devil Man]

wow just saw the bleach ep... what a fucking waste of my time... soooooo lame the only thing that was semi cool was the cute little sword guy and his fucking big ass cannon... lol

and flcl... wasnt that great i dont see why it was such a big rave... i think its just bandwagners or something

ps udon!

sweet sig!

[phillofdfuture]

anybody watch great teacher onizuka? i think thats going to be the next one i watch...


ya i finished it..its pretty funny...just a teacher trying to gain the classes respect..so not too bad for the extremes he goes through..but i would honestly rather watch something else in ur list if u have any

[h815 240sx]

List so far
Bleach
Full metal alchemist
Full metal alchemist: brotherhood (currently)
Gundam wing
Gundam 00
Yu yu hakishow
Eureka seven
Trigun
Towboy bee bop
Outlaw star
Death note

Wow. So many days of anime....

Anybody got some good suggestions that are similar to those stated above??

[Bubbles]

Here's just a few to give you an idea:

thousand-eyes's Anime List - MyAnimeList.net (http://myanimelist.net/animelist/thousand-eyes)

jpez83's Anime List - MyAnimeList.net (http://myanimelist.net/animelist/jpez83)

Syllen's Anime List - MyAnimeList.net (http://myanimelist.net/animelist/Syllen)


I guess if you've been watching for 10+ years it's not that crazy.

[axiomatik]

I only ever watch what shows up on Adult Swim when I have a chance. Anything that involves giant fighting robots or wandering around a forest forever fighting random monsters is really boring to me, so shows like Big O, Gundam, Inuyasha etc are just meh.

Bleach is ok, haven't really gotten into the plot (seems to be more wandering around fighting monsters), but I like the style of some the animation.
Akira is ok.

Trigun is good
Cowboy Bebop is good
FLCL is good. (I suppose I like it because it's short, so it's not a bunch of filler. Also, the animation style is all over the place, it's very idiosyncratic)
Lupin the 3rd is good.

[kingkilburn]

AdultSwim used to be great for anime but these days they aren't doing to hot. They played death note and blood+ to death and I don't really like either of those. They don't have any comedy(shin-chan was great) or serious action.

I will give them Moribito. That is a great show.

[Bubbles]

You love GITS and FLCL but dislike DeathNote.

Our tastes are what you would call........................different.

[kingkilburn]

lol

I watched it but it was too slow. It has great themes and characters but whole episodes of discussing info you already know in long unending scenes.

[Enna]

It gets that way for a lil while. Like most anime's they have their intro's that sometimes take awhile to hook you. Light pulled off some bad ass shit later in the series tho, hell even earlier in the series.

[kingkilburn]

That is what I did like. It is a very smart show. Just sloooow.


Blood+ is a train wreck. No redemption in my book. So many better shows they could broadcast, shows they already have the rights for.

[uraznfriend]

seeing how bubbles posted a anime list i thought i should share mine as well
uraznfriend's Anime List - MyAnimeList.net (http://myanimelist.net/animelist/uraznfriend)

[Bubbles]

None of those are mine, those guys have seen a lot more than I have.

[Bubbles]

I'm 30 episodes into HNO, it's awesome but getting repetitive.

So I watched both Vampire Hunters, the first one is alright but the second one is completely b to the a, sooo good.



Thinking of trying to get into multiple shows at the same time, instead of watching one all the way through.

[uraznfriend]

about to finish Monster really good so far
i used to watch multiple shows at once but i felt like i wasted my day
so i only watch one anime on the weekdays and another on the weekends

[Touge Noob S13]

Thinking of watching the secound season of Haruhi, got to see what the whole "endless eight" fiasco was about.

[kingkilburn]

I think I am going to dive back in Tenchi Muyo, just for some nostalgia.

[Bubbles]

40 episodes into HNO and it's good but for some reason I can't marathon it or go crazy on it.

Watched all of Gungrave, it has a nearly identical scene along with Kill Bill, I wonder which came first.

Watched 3 episodes of Afro Samurai, that shit is ballin. It should be longer.

[RurouniMidnight]

Watching Fist of the north star right now its old school, ive seen some eps before but im trying to watch it all the way through on ep 93 right now.

It gets pretty repetitive in the earlier episodes but the story gets more in depth later well as much as an early 80s anime can, also watching FMA brotherhood as its released.

I watched Buso Renkin about a month ago i really enjoyed it and would recommend it, was written by the same guy who did Rurouni Kenshin.

[simmode1]

I started feening for some Rurouni Kenshi the other day, so I went on a downloading spree... I start watching them on my PC and I'm like ":wtf: These are fucking VHS!!!":madfawk:

I wants DVD rips of Kenshin!

[lflkajfj12123]

gungrave is the shittt

[irax]

Anyone else started watching King of the bandits Jing or tower of druaga?

[madd ocx]

i dont really watch anime no more but i can list a few i did like over the years i did:
rouroni kenshin
initial d
guyver (original and the updated version)
fuyushi yugi (don't know if thats correct spelling
dragon ballz ( yeah i know but i still liked it)
fist of the north star
ninja scroll
dirty pair
wicked
vampire hunter d
crying freeman
that is just to a few there are more but cant remember at the moment..

[Touge Noob S13]

Currently watching To Aru Majutsu no Index, pretty good so far.

[IIIXziuR]

My bro just bough the Gungrave box set so I am about to have at that.
Watched the first episode so far. SICKKKK.

I totally want to just nerd out and just watch anime all day. No work. No social life. Yup.

[lflkajfj12123]

It's totally worth it. GUNGRAVE IS SICK.

[Bubbles]

If Gungrave would have taken the entire show's action scenes and cut them into two full episodes and cut out all story, I would have been happier.

[IIIXziuR]

If Gungrave would have taken the entire show's action scenes and cut them into two full episodes and cut out all story, I would have been happier.

If I could do that with my life I would be happier.

[lawrenceyang]

If Gungrave would have taken the entire show's action scenes and cut them into two full episodes and cut out all story, I would have been happier.

no way man ! sometimes the story was slow and boring but i think when you got to the end of the series all the character development and seeing everyone change really made it a great series, i especially liked the ending

[Mew2Senshi: The Driver]

Good thing I found this subject. n_n I have seen a LOT of anime. Here's a list:

G Force: Back when I was ignorant about anime.
Sailor Moon: THE anime that got me to anime.
Pokemon: Still watch it every now and then.
G Gundam: My favorite of Gundam series.
The 8th MS Team: My other favorite Gundam series.
Gurren Lagann: Loving it! Starting second arc. (Now on SyFy)
DBZ: Why not?
Initial D: Seen a few episodes, but fun to watch.
Wangan Midnight: Still a few episodes to go. Great series.
FLCL: Short but straight to the point.
Evangelion: Hardcore. Wanna watch the movies.
Rurouni Kenshin: It has everything.
Code Geass: Both arcs had lots of twists, and the final ending is shocking.
Lucky Star: LOL, indeed. Need to be into J-pop culture, though.
Haruhi Suzumiya: You gotta love that girl.
Witchblade: Hot action and plenty of mystery.
Eureka Seven: Loved the series.
IGPX: Mech battle racing! Nuff said.

I could say more, but the list would be slightly longer, and these are the ones that come to mind.

[simmode1]

Way to revive a dead thread. You better get used to the idea of rewatching all that old anime, cause I got a feeling we're not gonna be getting any new content for a long while. Waaay bigger stuff going on right now in Japan... I saw a link a few days ago with anime/manga creators checking in to confirm they were still alive after the quake & tsunami. That's the important thing: Human life. Not our little hobby...

[BoostSlideWayz]

Phantom requiem
Gundam 00 movie
Gundam 00
Gundam seed destiny
anything gundam. is probably the best action anime youll see
elfen lied

i dont watch to much anime just gundam really. Its like the best anime ever. i wanna see a gundam vinyl car ha

[TheWolf]

Currently watching Freezing (uncensored).. there is a good bit of fan service in it but it's quality so far...

Bleach...


As to running out of anime due to japan earthquake.. not likely.. most shows are drawn in other countries.. ie china, vietnam etc. cheap labor..
