Amazing anime, the filler series starts off shit but gets pretty decent. Watch it in japanese, the jap dudes screaming sounds pretty funny

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann - Would highly recommend this
I have never enjoyed an anime like I did this one, the last act with the Tengen Toppa itself - I had to perform the Heinrich maneuver on someone chocking due to laughter on their own saliva when this happened.
Last Exile - you must.
Code Geass - real robot mecha, drama and thriller series that is likely going to be the successor to the Gundam franchise, definitely post 9/11. Also has the British Empire as the hegemony of the world and is the rebellion in Area 11 (formerly Japan) against its conquerer. Occasionally called the bastard child of Death Note and Gundam SEED
Melancholy of Suzimiya Haruhi - Eccentric genius with ADHD with an obsession with Aliens, Time travelers and ESPers is god, created the universe and no ones told her yet. Series is brilliant and o beautiful artwork.
Full Metal Panic - Mecha show, action comedy. Not much to add but its done by Kyoto and a good laugh, especially Fuffumo.
Neon Genesis Evangellion - You just have to watch this, people still talk about it 15 years on for a reason, it is yet to be surpassed as the epitome of its Genre.... Mind**** God Mecha in a war of survival.
RahXephon - Just a hairs breadth behind Neon Genesis, truth be told if this came out first this is what would have been talked about not Eva.
Black Lagoon - Mafia devil may care shoot everything with a dark plot, similar to GitS on quite a few levels.
Higurashi - I cannot describe this well. Psycotic, hardcore thriller with lots and lots of blood. Just watch the first few eps on Youtube to see if its your thing, I found it draws you in well, if you like Elfen Lied this is your kind of thing.
.hack/Sighn - A broken individual with no real memories trapped inside an MMORPG, unique and a beautifully well done series.
Others are;
Cowboy Bebop
Gundam SEED
Full Metal Alchemist
Trigun
Elfen Lied
Trigun
Crest of the Stars.
That should keep you entertained for a while

Like i said before looking for some good English subbed series.
I should smack you for recomending the last two. Eureka Seven made my head hurt even after watching the show twice and Deathnote.... it gets tiring when the main character is an arogent villian.
Good animes:
Hellsing Ultimate (dont be fooled) - Bloody, Gorey, but a great story with some deep questions when you really ponder them.
Ergo Proxy - Seriously will mess with your mind
Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo - An interesting retelling of a classic taken from a diffrent perspective. If you watch this dont go in with expectations.

Vampire Hunter D
Ergo Proxy
Fist of the North Star ( not sure if this is classified as anime)
Akira
I highly reccomend Samurai X. This is a 17+ title due to blood. The TV series was a little cheesy but the first half of it was great, the second half I could do without.

Forgot to mention Noein, Akira, FLCL, Rouroni Kenshin, Trigun, Outlaw Star, Samurai Champloo, Code Geass, Bleach, and Avatar, i enjoyed/ am enjoying them was just tired whilst posting and couldnt recall all the animes ive watched at the time :P.
Watched Inuyasha thought it was mediocre at best and needed to end sooner.
Watched One Piece when it was on, though it was good to begin with, it started to drag on and the dubbing was swapped in the middle so meh.
Naruto was good at the start but is subject to if i can withstand the enormous amount of filler spewing out atm, bleh.
And im no connoisseur of Anime, i like what i like. :P
To Crumplecorn's Post: Anime List Overload 
Animes Ill check out:
Haibane Renmei
Voices of a Distant Star
Serial Experiments Lain
RahXephon
Last Exile

Also dont let this thread die like the last one, tbh.

I dunno if this is classified as anime but Outlaw Star imo was great, maybe not epic but definitely worth buying the dvd.
I haven't been able to find Here and There, Now and Then at any local retailer or any rental place except for a no-name, family owned place in Folkston, Georgia... It really ****es me off as from what I saw it had potential to be a great watch. (guess I'll have to buy it online.)
GiTS is what got me into anime and it remains one of my all-time favorites. GiTS: SAC is an awesome series that never fails to keep me entertained. (I love Comcast On-Demand!)

Simoun! The concept sounds at first like it'll be nothing more than huge amounts of creepy fanservice, but it's one of the best anime series I've seen. It's weird as hell, with a really unique fantasy setting, and although it starts incredibly slowly, it gets better and better and the ending is pure genius. Don't let the fact it's usually classified as yuri put you off. It's not ****.
EDIT: Here's some of my other favourites
Ouran High School Host Club - hilarious all the way through
The Macross series - completely epic, even the ancient original series is awesome

This sums up every anime I consider worth watching:
Ginga Eiyu Densetsu - Soft sci-fi, 110 episodes in all, one of the most epic anime shows ever.
Planetes - The only hard sci-fi anime I've come across thus far, great story, too.
Wolf's Rain - Fantasy/adventure, positively high on drama after watching the last (admittedly, confusing) episodes.
Ghost in the Shell (all) - Soft sci-fi/dystopia/semi-ecchi, a somewhat successful attempt at making a deeper point beyond the shallow surface story, but the whole "transhumans r evul" statement gets stale after a while. Still, one of the most accurately developed universes in the anime world that doesn't rely on a real mythology.
Since my comprehension of spoken English is just as good as my understanding of Japanese (that is: zero), I usually prefer subbed versions.

Haruhi, GITS:SAC & Deathnote for the collective win.
I hate all the mech anime's with a passion though. Code Geass I would have watched further if it werent for the stupidly improbable Mechs with claws that shoot from it's chest (What sort of crap weapon is that)
I'd understand if it were partly tongue in cheek ala Gurren Legann (which was good) but I cant suspend disbelief when they take those things seriously!
Full Metal Panic groan! Cut and Paste anime at its finest!
Elfen Lied is what a 12 year old with a fascination with blood would make. I was caught between disgust and laughter at how bad it approached some subjects. If you like this then you probably have Wrestlemania posters adorning your walls and Jerry Springer Boxsets displayed proudly amongst the other brick-a-brack an intellectually disabled people might accumulate.

I dislike anime that rely completely on overused gimmicks to attract viewers (and I dislike the viewers who fall for it) - however Geass doesn't rely solely on these, it also has FABULOUS and JUST AS KEIKAKU'd.

Ok there is many garbage in this thread but I won't start a flamewar about it. So here are my recommendations. These are all quite high quality anime without the usual stupidity.
serial experiment lain
texhnolyze
both are a muste see imo
paranoia agent
baccano
ergo proxy
anime movies i liked:
paprika
the girl who leapt through time
most ghibli
tekkonkinkreet and mind game very unusal style, highly enjoyable
and of course
ghost in the shell 1 and 2
I consider all of those above average anime niveau and it would really be a shame if you don't watch them

Watch Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (Miyazaki big-screen magnum opus), then read all the volumes of the manga next.
One of my favorite reads ever.

I'm not really a big anime person, but I absolutely recommend Samurai Champloo - it's the only actually good anime I've ever seen, meaning it can hold it's own against any genre.
Also, for those alittle more dirty minded... La Blue Girl is fun (only for those considered adults in their respective countries, please )

Blue Drop

Indeed, but even when ordering ice cream one requests a sample of the more exotics before buying a tub
That said, the single best episode of Haruhi - All ships CHAAAAARGA!!!
Note, the series is a bit like Ghost in the Shell, a few arcs that are standalone in their delivery.

Kyoto animation. They are working on finishing up the Clannad afterstory methinks, then they decide on Haruhi series 2 (when it starts getting less slice of life) or Full Metal Panic series 3/4 depending on how you judge Fuffumo.

Kyoto dosen't do Originality, it sees Visual Novels and Novels and adapts them.
I know where they are going with her brother "Mister Silver" and "Mister Gold" is going to make things.... interesting when they decide to do it. Truth be told I'm surprised it was Imagin as opposed to Kyoto that did Spice and Wolf.... Second Raid is only the setup to the rest of the plot, FMP is just getting started up if they plan on doing the whole Novel series so I am told.

I just finished watching Death Note. Wow. Bleeding fantastic.
I don't understand why everyone compares it to Code Geass though. There's a vague resemblance between Lelouche's and Light's personalities, and the protagonists' companions are both addicted to some form of food. That's about it as far as I can tell.

Finished Haruhi, it wasn't as good as I expected from all the hype. I hoped it would have had ended in some different way though, maybe a little more colder ending, bit like ergo proxy perhaps?
Oh well, worth watching anyway aguess.
At the moment, downloading last exile and samurai champloo per your recomendations, DON'T FAIL ME NOW!

seeing champloos and exile one after the other might give a bit of a headache.
also, champloos' ending is a bit melancholic and meh tbh.

I haven't seen champloo, so can't really comment about that. But if anyone here understands wtf was happening at the end of Last Exile, let me know.

Basicly the Exile was a colony ship from Earth. Eventualy the first war happened and the 2 nations smashed each other back to the stone age. The Exile sat between the 2 factions in the storm, controlled by the Guild who were descended from those that originaly crewed the ship as opposed to had passage.
End of Last Exile, the 2 factions take the ship from the Guild (which only had technology based on Exile) and took power from them. The series is sci-fi post apocalypse in the end

You must have not watched one or the other. Code Geass is Death Note, just with more mecha and less well thought out Keikaku.
Champloo proves that style alone isn't enough to carry a series, but will still prove popular. Last Exile is very pretty, but the story basically has the characters making the decisions which lead them into the most 'epic' situations, as opposed to decisions that actually make sense. The end makes up for it if you get that far though.
I finished Princess Tutu the other day and have moved it to 'god tier' in my original post due to ninjas with guitars.
If you want more recommendations, try /a/. Don't ask for recommendations, all you get is boku no pico no bibletoads. Instead just lurk and watch out for animes which, when mentioned, are known only by a few on there, but are universally lauded by those who are familiar with them. It takes time, but that's how I found Tutu and Aria, for instance.

I've watched both. There are passing similarities in the demeanour of the protagonists (although Lelouche doesn't seem to be going as bat-shit-crazy as Light did). The impression I got from Death Note was that of a game. He was playing a game, first against L, then against Near. Code Geass is about war and world domination, and Lelouche is not treating it like a game.
On another note (see what I did there?): has anyone seen Noein? I've just started it, and so far it seems fairly intriguing. People teleporting in from parallel worlds, losing limbs if they materialise inside a solid object - quite amusing . Also, a big glowing ring appears in the sky from time to time and nobody seems to notice except the protagonists.

Both series are about a protagonist constructing elaborate plans which appear to fail, but which are later revealed to have accounted for that failure. Both protagonists end up in their respective positions because they are expert strategists who have a supernatural power conveniently accidentally given to them. Both intend to use their power to fix the world in some way. Both have connections (the Royal Family and the Police) which are relevant to their quest. Both have a secret identity. Both have an opponent (L and Suzaku) who are for some period of time friends to their 'normal' identity while enemies to their 'public' identities. Both are, for a time, mutually unaware of said identities. Both are seen as saviours and villians in equal measure by different groups. Both involve a power which requires some kind of contact with / knowledge of the target and so cannot be used indiscriminately, but which when used gives the user complete control of the target with some limitations. Both protagonists run into opponents who through some method or other gain the same or a similar power to the protagonist. Both protagonists have a superanatural sidekick who is the source of their power.
I could go on, but you probably get the picture by now.

Noein is a good action series. Drags on a little long, and the final revelation about what is going on is a letdown IMO, but a good series. Has one particular fight scene down on the docks which is spectacular.

Hey guys, I actually found something good this time: Shigofumi.
Anyone else seen this? Finally some proper stories in anime show. (No lies!)
Just FYI, it pretty much lacks all action elements. Refreshing to actually find something nice for a change. First episode might look like its standard high-school boy-meets-girl shit, but just watch it through, and see the follow up on episode 2, to be delightfully suprised.
At ep7 atm, its still going strong. |

I'll give this topic a bump, I'm actually looking for some recommendations and there seems to be a lot of anime lovers here. I haven't seen a huge amount of stuff, I did have a flatmate who was pretty obsessed but I thought 90% of the stuff he watched was crappy.
Here's what I've really enjoyed:
Mononoke Hime
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Noir
Hack//Sign
Serial Experiments Lain
Voices of a Distant Star
RahXephon
Ideally I'd like it to have nice character development and a decent plot that makes you think a bit.
Thanks.

TTGL is "intentionally corny" (that's how I see/take it anyway), and it really grows on you after a while.
ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWER !
DOUBLEplusGood for the lulz.
CG-LotR (heh) is unintentionally corny (blah blah life lesson blah stfu already pansy thoughtmonologues), but it also has its good moments.
P.S. I mean, seriously, intentionally breaking the laws of physics is prime lulz material. That, plus the episode 3 "combine" sequence is EPIC lulz.

I watch Code Geass for the Keikaku Doori and Fabulous.
Though, on rare occasions, it gets good enough to actually take seriously.

Ok, first off, TTGL is NOT to be watched out-of order, and certainly not on youtube. Hires fansubs ftw.
It introduces just enough suspension of disbelief slowly as it goes on becoming more outrageously ridiculous, so it manages to stay at the same time serious and funny, incredible but still believable.
I was left sort of "wtf" by the first episode, the second episode was "meh", but by the time I got to the 3rd episode I couldn't stop watching, and I ended up watching all 27 episoded one after eachother.
The characters are so surreal yet still so human you can't help but feel for them. It was one of the very few movies (and probably the only anime) where I ended up empathizing with the protagonists, to the point of almost loudly cheering or almost shedding a tear, depending on how things were going on.
It's just THAT good.
But so over-the-top (pretty much all the time) that scenes taken out of context of the story feel pathetic.
You just HAVE to watch it in full, not skip around.
Just watch the first 4 eps in good quality back-to-back, then come again and say you DON'T want to watch it all

I'll take you up on this challenge, if it has been subbed properly. Last time I checked, parts had been done by different groups and anons, and no one group had bothered doing the entire thing.

Just finished episode three. The only thing which can possibly compensate for this stupidly over the top, needlessly ridiculous, formulaic even by anime standards crap which seems quite happy to gloss over any details which might require a modi****of thought from the writers is that it blatantly doesn't take itself even the slightest bit seriously, and might serve as an amusing self-parody of a failed attempt at writing something which attempts to engage the viewer with anything more than cliches and explosions.
Thus far it has compensated to a degree where I would consider watching another episode, but since a dart thrown at a list of all the anime ever made would have a very good chance of landing on a better anime than this, I may just go watch something else.
One thing I like about anime in general is that even the worst of them try to develop the characters some bit and in doing so make the viewer care somewhat about what is going on. They may fail, but at least they try. This doesn't even try.
Just my Ç0.02.

I found wolfs rain to be one of the most beautifully depressing pieces of anime I'd ever come across. They played the anime trick of "one long shot of mostly nothing(in wolf rains case it was "walking/running through snow to somewhere better") while overdubbed" to save money + extend time. But other than that, I loved it.

Something from a whole other spectrum this time; Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei.
High school anime! OMG!
Okay, those who are still reading this (anyone? ), lemme tell you, its not what you think. It has no plot, nor character developement. Its not about stupid teenage romances, altough its partially about stupid teenage romances.
That didn't make any sense, I know.
The series doesn't generally make sense either, first seasons is about introducing the characters, on the second season they start despairing more about things that happen around them, eventually questioning the point of the whole show. At which part, even though I am ashamed to admit it; I lol'd irl.
IMO; its brilliant. I can't recommend it to anyone with straight face, but if you decide to watch; DOWNLOAD GOOD QUALITY VERSION. It is truely a visually pleasing show, especially the first episode.

Despite being a response to the wrong post, I actually did watch 3 episodes of TTGL (see above). Geass-style trainwreck, buy Geass only stayed worth watching because it took itself so seriously, a similarly ridiculous anime which lacks even that is pushing it.
Still, I'll keep watching just because I've learned the hard way that watching only a few episodes is a good way to miss out on good anime.

yup it's just like any animation made in any county. most are bad, it takes a special kind of animation to make people really like it that are older than 12.

it doesn't keep going as well as other animes but the 1st 20 eps will keep you interested as long as you don't mind the lack of fighting, it's a much more mystery devtective based series.

If someone says, "Anime is shit!" he is right, because most of it is that, you can't really argue against facts. Still I don't agree with such a degree prejudgism (is that even a word?). I either don't understand people who watch anime just because its anime, this equally freaks me out. I refuse to give up on my views of what makes a good story, it doesn't depend on the fact wether the story is presented in drawn form or as a regural movie/series. This also means that I don't judge series before I'v seen them, thus I watch anime every now and then, though taking account the quality of the animeshows; mostly when people recommend me some.
I liked SZS because it was widely different from anything I'v seen lately on that genre. Though saying something is "dumb" and leaving it to that really gets to me, even if you have the right for that opinion.
Don't be flaming, I presented my _opinions_ in a reasonably polite fashion.

Just remember anime wasn't made for you. It was made for the Japanese audience. As such, there's gonna be plenty of things you either don't like, or don't understand.
There's a lot of humor in anime as well that most people don't understand. But that depends on what your watching I guess.

Yup, that's exactly what I said, it's not a mecha anime, it's a parody to all mecha anime in general.
Or, at least, that's my viewpoint on it
As for abandoning seriousness... well, there's some "blah blah moral values blah" thingy here and there, but other than that it's just mindless fun (increasingly mindless and increasingly fun).
They're pulling your chain subtly at the start keeping it mildly realistic, then slowly get rid of most/all realism and go the surreal sarcastic route.
Oh well, if it didn't grow on you after 3-5 episodes, I suppose it never will
Not everybody likes that type of humour...

I don't think I'm giving too much away here, but Gurren Laggan can sprout drills which are bigger than the machine itself. So ya - realism doesn't play an enormous part in this show.

I stopped reading your post after that.
Dude, Im trying to get the visual novel also. Not sure why you hated it that much... It's got some ****ed up endings but its not bad.
because it was just another boring and predictable hentai game turned anime. I knew exactly what was going to happen 2 episodes later every episode.

My point was more that Death Note was nothing special. Though in fairness it was quite stylish.
Pity about the second arc.
at least the live action movies which came out before the anime did never get to the 2nd arc and ignore it by having a new ending :)

Yes ive resurrected it. Post your recommendations and series you've enjoyed - subbed or dubbed.
English Subbed Ive Enjoyed:
Claymore - Really enjoyed this series though the ending was a bit meh
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann - Would highly recommend this. Whatever you do, dont watch the English dub currently being shown on Sci-Fi.
Looking for more good English subbed series.
English Dubbed ive Enjoyed:
Cowboy Bebop
GITS:SAC
Fullmetal Alchemist
NGE
Eureka Seven
Deathnote
Like i said before looking for some good English subbed series.
Ahh, a similar taste in anime as I. I will use your question as a suggestion for those I have not yet seen.

Well, 6 months ago I had pretty much only seen Cowboy Bebop. Thanks to you lot I now have a half terabyte of the stuff.
What I can recall:
Black Lagoon - Pirates. Guns. Gangsters. What else do you need? Probably just about my favorite, but a bit of view discretion advised.
Cowboy Bebop - Pretty much the first one I saw, great scifi series.
Ghost in the Shell - Very cyberpunk, incredible (all of them, movies and series though particularly the series)
Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya - As discussed, not everyone's cup of tea, but I enjoyed it immensely.
Great Teacher Onizuka - Extremely funny
Gurren Lagann - Just ridiculous, almost stopped watching after an episode or so, but it grows on you. If it wasn't intended as a parody of the genre, it should have been. Really ended up enjoying it. Combat gets a little repetetive, but well - how often isn't it?
Trigun - Scifi-western, enjoyable characters. Little goofy here and there.
Hellsing - Enjoyable series, sort of gory brain popcorn.
Elfen Lied - Series about ****ed up people, many of them doing ****ed up things. Plus telekinesis and horns. Still, one I enjoyed, but viewer discretion advised. Graphic violence, nudity.
Full Metal Panic - Sort of a fun watch, cause giant robots are great.
Gunslinger Girl - Little girl cyborg assassins. With a lot of characterization.
Noir - Again, assassins. Who doesn't love'em?
Outlaw Star - Woooo Spaceships and pirates.
Last Exile - Epic airship stuff.
Ergo Proxy - Great stuff, very heavy on the characters.
Code Geass - Little over the top, but some unexpected twists and turns
Deathnote - Enjoyed parts of it, but some - particularly the ending - was a bit meh.
I'm sure I'll think of more later. I have an (unhealthy) tendency to watch an entire show in 1 or 2 nights. So there are some I may have watched and totally forgotten about. On the up side, they must not have been that good.

Watching black lagoon atm.
Only gotten through few eps, but so far its been semi-entertaining. Not expecting much from the series anyway.
Tried to watch Code Geass again; I couldn't, nor could I handle full metal alchemist. Both series totally lose their perspective; CG has forced plot twists in every episode and RIDICULOUS sex-overload on every female character.
FMA's alchemy lost all its meaning when they made a 20m wall around a frigging mountain, yet struggle to defeat some other alchemists. 
MEH.
Avoid these if you wan't to stay within the limits of logic. (Perhaps I'm just too picky for anime.)

Logic rarely comes into it. In the words of one Mr. Strongbad: Japanese cartoons are weird.
Has anyone watched the first episode of Michiko To Hatchin? Looks like it could turn out to be pretty interesting.

Well, GitS and perhaps Bebop aside, Black Lagoon reminds me of Eve more than any other anime I have watched. I mean, just in terms of attitude.
I think, on the topic of something being logical, that that is often one of Anime's strengths. Relatively lower budgets and the ability to do pretty much anything in terms of special effects opens the door one pretty much any story that someone wants to tell. These do occasionally get a little over the top naturally. If you want a more realistic style, btw, have you tried Planetes? It is, as I think someone has mentioned, probably the only hard Scifi anime like, ever.

Watched this, it was close to awesome all the way to episode 13-15, from where on it turned to be so cheesy dating/relationship anime that I almost puked. 
I really don't care anymore how it ends tbh, even though it had some nice political critique and asked some interesting questions about human nature, putting that bloody romance factor in, most likely as a crowd pleaser (feared it would come to that from the first episode too), just absolutely devastated the experience for me. If you can stand it, or god forbid enjoy it, then sure; this is a good anime to check out.

I'll throw some suggestions into the pool. A few more or less less well known series I tend to recommend to people are:
Monster - Whenever anyone tells me how deep or intelligent Death Note is, I point them to this. It's a suspense/detective story which follows a surgeon who discovers that a boy he once risked his career to save has grown up to become a deadly criminal mastermind. It's long and bloated, but everything about it contributes to the overall feel and theme, and its cast of characters puts pretty much every other anime out there to shame. Watch this series like you would read a novel: over time and with your brain switched on. There is no dub.
Requiem from the Darkness (aka Hundred Stories) - I'm not sure there is a genre for this. A medieval writer gets caught up in the affairs of a trio of quasi-supernatural detectives/harbingers/justice-bringers as they investigate mysterious occurrences and punish the wicked. Dark, stylish, and at times grotesque, with a strong influence of Japanese folklore. There is a dub, but the Japanese vocals are really good, even if you can't understand them.
Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei - Mentioned earlier; definitely not for everyone, but if you like dark humor and random humor then you just might absolutely love it. Funny as hell and comes with a fair dash of social commentary to boot.
Welcome to the N.H.K. - Another dark comedy, this time about a paranoid, antisocial college dropout, his loser-otaku neighbor, and a codependent high school girl who has decided to "fix" him. May make you laugh in a these-people-are-so-screwed-up-but-somehow-this-is-just-a-little-too-close-to-home kind of way.
Gankutsuou - A sci-fi retelling of Dumas' Count of Monte Cristo. Gaudy, unique, and horrendously unfaithful to the book (obviously?). It's good, but not great.
One Piece - Okay, this one is by no means obscure. If you love shounen you probably already know what you think of it, and if you hate shounen this one isn't going to change your mind. But if you are somewhere in between and feel like trying out something from the genre I would recommend this one. One Piece has imo the best mix of action, characters, style, and epic-ness of the shounens, and it is one of the very few that knows better than to take itself too seriously. *DO NOT WATCH THE DUBS!*
Oh, and obligatory:
Great Teacher Onizuka - If you are in any way open to watching a high school comedy, watch it. That is all.

It's been a while, but wasn't that mountain the one where they were creating the liquid which was supposed to hugely increase alchemists powers?
And anyway, what good would a 20m wall do against an alchemist?
As for Geass, it's supposed to have forced plot twists. If you can predict what is going to happen next, something has gone wrong.

I'm rewatching Ghost in the Shell SAC. It's one of the very few animT series I actually own on DVD (which is probably why I don't watch it much - disks are awkward). Now I remember why I loved this series. Yay Laughing Man!
Has anyone been watching Tytania? Only 2 episodes out so far, but it looks like it could turn out to be interesting. The characters actually seem to be intelligent (rare in animT), and have never made me go "well why didn't he just...". First episode was a roughly even split between spaceship battling and tea sipping, second was a bit more talky talky. Could be setting up for something grand.

yes I have, and yes it will be.
all space operas are like that, specially ones that involve star empires with close resemblance with the middle ages and Renaissance.
still, nothing beats the Banner of the Stars saga and Legend of the Galactic Heroes, wich is supposedly the anime with the biggest space battles till today (people guesstimate something in the order of the thousands of ships per side in each battle)

I'm glad some people bothered to list descriptions because otherwise there's too many things that I simply woudn't look at.
Having said that and I was skeptical about watching it at first but look up Giant Robo.
If you feel that looking at a blurb for it would help you, don't. I can't explain it. Only once you've watched it can you grasp what I mean. If I told you a rough outline you would simply look at me like I'm crazy.

Ok here are some of my favourites (all subbed):
Akane-iro ni Somaru Saka
Akira
Blood+
Buso Renkin
Chaos;Head
ClannadTV (+ Clannad aftershow)
Casshern Sins
Elfen Lied
Ergo Proxy
Escaflowne
Evangelion 1.01

Hyakko
Jin Roh
Kannagi
Kanokon
Midori Days
Myself;Yourself
Samurai Champloo
Shool Days
Strait Jacket
Tales of the Abyss
To Aru Majutsu no Index
Toradora
Wolfs Rain
Zero no Tsukaima
I can say Akira and Jin Roh are just classic.
Elfen Lied, Chaos;Head and Ga-Rei-Zero ar just madness and really great storys (Elfen Lied is probably my favourite anime).
If you like a bit of Romance in your anime, i recommend: Elfen Lied, Toradora, Akane-iro ni Somaru Saka, Myself;Yourself, ClannadTV, Kannagi and Zero no Tsukaima (and for sure some of these will also make you laugh a lot.
If you want something just for the laughters watch Hyakko.
Tales of the Abyss is good old fantasy.
And Shool Days is a special one. Im not really sure if i can really say i liked it but i can say that the whole story is so crazy that i can only recommend watching every episode of Shool Days from the start to the end (the final episode was well let say interresting).
If someone wants to know anything about the above listed Anime feel free to ask and il try to answer.
1st. Edit: corrected some typos!
2nd. Edit: Allof these Anime and more can be found here (all subbed).

A really good anime action/drama series is basilisk. Good, if traditional plot about two feuding clans with a tragic love story mixed in. It is well animated and the fight scenes are brutal and beautiful. One of the better animes I have watched this year.

Resurrection!
Xam'd
Anyone seen this? At ep 7 atm, looks pretty promising so far, visually great, remains pretty leveled. Might not be the best anime out there but so far the best recent one (SZS doesn't count :P). The story and character developement moves slowly, but they stay in balance to each other, switching focus here and there. I like stories that don't just smear themselves on my face, but thats a personal preference so the slowly moving story can either be a good or a bad thing.
It has mechas.
Well mecha-alikes. That should be the magic word for some of you to check it out and I do recommend you would.
Eve no Jikan
Do androids dream of electric sheep? Aye, this series is about human-android interaction, only seen 2 episodes so far, but it reminded me of movie called Natural City, which is pretty much the korean version of blade runner, but with a bit more depth.
I will be keeping my eye on this one too. Its drama heavy and I doubt it'll contain any action what-so-ever. Animation quality is stunning though.
Off-topic, I know its hard to derail anime thread, but I just watched Perfume; the story of a murderer and it was the best movie I'v seen in quite a while. Also been reading Von Neumann's War and Ender's Game -books, first is hard scifi, filled with technical jargon and it doesn't explain itself much at all, this is to my liking.
Second is more character focused, but incredibly easy to read scifi; really down to earth as its a story told by a kid, it influenced greatly the halo books which were based on the very same idea, focus on halo and enders game are different though.
If you'v got any opinions on these, feel free to derail this thread!
Yeah, I do have too much free time. ♥

Blade Runner in anime form? I must check this out.
I've been watching "Darker Than Black" lately. It's pretty nice, but so far I haven't detected any trace of a main story arc - most plots are over and done with in one or two episodes. It's a sort of near-future setting with people called contractors who have various superpowers.

Ah, it's a rip-off of something else is it? I have to admit, it does ring a bell...
Code Geass - C.C always referred to it as a "contract".

I'm currently watching Baccano, entertaining, but too many characters and too much time jumping for me to follow it completely.
Also .hack//ROOTS, which has finally started to pick up after episode eight (dropped it for months due to nothing but allusions to an actual story).
Oh, and TTGL (I knew there was something else), the fail of the first three episodes is finally just a distant memory, so I will try to move forward a little to search for redeeming features.

I almost always check this anime review site for a rating and synopsis of animes:
http://www.themanime.org/reviewlist.php?list=rating
My favorites that come to mind:
Full Metal Panic - Modern military / mecha / highschool action comedy
(english dub is good)
Bleach (after episode 15) - awesome modern supernatural samurai-ish anime
(go with sub)
Vandread - sci-fi space men vs. women action comedy with lots of good cgi space battles
(english dub isn't too bad)
Fate/Stay Night - modern fantasy, masters and their medieval partners (archer, paladin, lancer, ect.) try to kill each other. Artwork is beautiful.
(english dub is good)
Ah! My Goddess - good modern (divine fantasy?) romance comedy
(think I went with english dub on this one)
Ranma 1/2 - modern martial arts comedy. Anime is a little older so not as well drawn as post 2000 anime but a good classic comedy with lots of "Anything goes martial arts _______ competition"
(Go with english dub, definately)
Naruto Shippuden - (starts at episode 220) Much better than the kiddy naruto seasons leading up to Shippuden.
(sub only. Not only have english dub not caught up to Shippuden, but english dub is terrible)

A really good anime action/drama series is basilisk. Good, if traditional plot about two feuding clans with a tragic love story mixed in. It is well animated and the fight scenes are brutal and beautiful. One of the better animes I have watched this year.
Watching the 1st episode now. Hope it's good. I was searching for something more to watch.
I can recommend GTO, as long as you don't take it too seriously and just enjoy the comedy.
Last I watched Shura (mutsu). Was enjoyable, but I felt the second half was not in line with the first half. I liked the first half more. (7-8 episodes)

Okay, Eve no Jikan seems good, but are there any subs beyond episode 2? It seems like the only group that were doing it got C&D'd.

Having trouble finding them myself too. I found act 3 torrent, but it was like 16mins long, so not sure if I d/l'd a legit thing.
No intros or anything to make it artificially longer though, so I suppose it was real.
Oh and I did watch fate stay night some while ago. But stopped when it just didn't feel quite the right thing for me, its pretty neutral in every way. I suppose its kinda "general anime" and its pretty much as general as decent animes get, I can't say anything bad about it, but can't recall any exceptionally good qualities either.
If you got nothing else give this a shot imo.
The way they pronounced english in one of the episodes (mind you, I have FINNISH ACCENT ) put me off from the show for good, it was just too much.

I've found these guys very reliable, though they sometimes miss the point of niche animes and thus get it wrong.
I find anime news networks user rating graph thingy quite accurate as well, as long as you account for genre. A series marked as excellent on that thing is at the very least very good in its genre. ANN's reviews, on the other hand, are garbage.

*shrug*
No, I meant after episode 15. I enjoyed the soul society arc; baunto arc was crap; Vizard arc could have gone somewhere but it never did and I'm hoping that they bring them back eventually; I am enjoying the latter parts of the Hueco Mundo arc.

I really must put an emphasis on Black Lagoon. Its awesome, wish it was longer though.
All of GitS, all 3 movies and the 1st and 2nd Gigs.
Gundam Wing, 08th MS Team (ending is meh imo), Endless Waltz (wing movie), Outlaw Star, and I have to say it... yes I know... I know... Invader Zim.
Tenchi Muyo/Tenchi in Tokyo is a good one if your into that whole pseudo-romantic/sci-fi stuff...
Dominion Tank Police and Appleseed were pretty good too.

fakeedit: content.... hm, well recently watched a few episodes of Kuro ****suji, something about a boy making a contract with the devil and a demon butler, I just find the butler's unflappability amusing .
Anyone watched this or To Aru Majutsu no Index? Both are a little slow starting, and wondering if they are worth continuing (though to be fair I will probably watch them when bored anyway, just because they are there).
I am about to watch an episode of Xam'd, will see how it goes

Don't worry. Akiyuki spends very little time in future episodes as the Xam'd. He's in alien mode through the second episode, but for the rest, he's human.
As for Kuro ****suji, I can't make up my mind whether I like it or not. There seems to be an even split between awesome occult Sherlock Holmes style stuff, and slightly homo-erotic episodes where Ciel has to dress up as a girl and dance with Sebastian. I've watched as far as the Hound of the Baskervilles one.

To Aru Majutsu no Index was a bit boring in the beginning but it gets more interresting a couple of episodes later. Personally i decided to keep watching it, looks promising to me.

Has anyone been watching Tytania? Only 2 episodes out so far, but it looks like it could turn out to be interesting. The characters actually seem to be intelligent (rare in animT), and have never made me go "well why didn't he just...". First episode was a roughly even split between spaceship battling and tea sipping, second was a bit more talky talky. Could be setting up for something grand.
yes I have, and yes it will be.
all space operas are like that, specially ones that involve star empires with close resemblance with the middle ages and Renaissance.
still, nothing beats the Banner of the Stars saga and Legend of the Galactic Heroes, wich is supposedly the anime with the biggest space battles till today (people guesstimate something in the order of the thousands of ships per side in each battle)
Is it possible to find these streamed free online? If can you recommend anywhere? I haven't had any luck finding Banner of the Stars of Legend of the Galactic Heroes streaming anywhere, though Tytania I have found everywhere I have looked .

insanity it is I must say.
...however there's one series I want to see but I'm waiting for it to end so that I can download it.
and the name of it is Kurozuka. Read the manga some time ago and it was a very grotesque and cruel and sadistic manga that spawned a period of 1000 years or so.
and it had some sort of vampires.

It is the one behind Daily Dose.
It's all relative, I like it.
Not as good as Haruhi, this is more a romantic comedy... but still it's entertaining....
That said I did watch Eureka Seven from beginning to end.... though at the end of that I thought "what the hell did I just watch?".

So the only anime I've been watching is gundam 00 s2
it's allright but.. what happen to the good animes!! I can't find a single one, and I usally torrent the 1st epsiode of every anime that comes out of my site, anime-suki.
So maybe I missed one, anyone want to fill me in?
oh and I don't anyone said fantasic children. It's an interesting seriers that picks up at ep 13. It's pretty cool if you like something with a more serious story line. the 1st 13 eps are more like a wtf is going on story line which is why I warned you.
you could also skip ahead to the 13th which is a recap episode but what fun would that be.
But yeah without giving anything away I'll recommend that anime as a reward to someone finding a newer anime as in out now, I can wait week to week to watch anime.
please I need something to look forward to again, I love doing that. the anime I did this with was code geass. There is just something about having to ait a week I love.
so yeah any unfinished anime series please? that don't suck? and IU'm an animation student so make sure the animation isn't crap.
Quote:
Throughout history, a group of children with white hair, known as the children of Befort, appear to find the same young girl. In 2012, Thoma, a 10 year old apprentice lives with his parents on the island of Papin whilst training to become the guardian of the island. It's by chance that Thoma meets Helga, an eleven year old orphan, imprisoned and mistreated in an orphanage. Helping her to escape, Thoma will quickly realize that his newfound friend is inexplicably linked to the children of Befort, the strange Fantastic Children..
and trust me it's all a cover up for a really good sci-fi!

first, you need to spread a bit more. Google for Tokyo Toshokan.
second: watching the first episode only of a series and pass a judgement is a bad, bad, bad way of seeing if you like a series.
example: Scrapped Princess is a very good series, but it only gets good past the 8th episode when you start find out that it's not actually just a medieval/fantasy series (it is actually quite a bit more, but I won't spoil).
but if you want one good one that appeals to your graphic art side, then anything made by Gonzo?

well yeah that's why I told you guys to watch up to ep 13 of fantasic chgildren because it's more than it seems :)
but animation is SO important to be, not art style mind you, that if it doesn't look good I can't watch it to that point without it being recommended.
Also I've been hurt by animes like bleach which I though would have an end but never did :P
But no thanks for the site, I'll see what it has that animesuki doesn't.
Still I'll check out the anime you listed :)

Okay I've started watching Toradora. This series gets a resounding "meh" from me. I'll keep watching it because I don't have anything better to do until the new year.
And if you think it's insanity, you must be very sheltered. Try watching Kemeko DX and tell me Toradora is insane.

I caught up on Toradora yesterday. It was fun to watch, nothing really special, but the animation was better than I expected. The characters seemed to move a lot more realistically than they do in other anime I've seen. The relationships are interesting, and that brain-damaged parrot is hilarious in a disturbing kind of way.

Is it just me or is Aisaka just a copy-paste of Zero Louise from Zero No Tsukaima? Even down to calling her male companion a "baka innu". I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same voice actress too.

It is the same voice actress, I was getting Shakugan No Shanna vibes off of it (doesn't help that the male lead is called Yuji in that show). Only seen series one of FoZ.... but yes they are pretty damned similar.

Is that like an English dub version of ZNT then? I have to admit, I have trouble imagining that one in English.

Imagining that one being dubed in english is the same as imagining Excel Saga dubed:
it just can't work at all.

No, I just call it Familiar of Zero because that is the English translation of the title, and the Japanese title didn't stick as it was a so-so series to me... sorry about that.
That said, maybe I should get round to watching Series 2...

For great justice
fakeedit: content
Has anyone watched Blade of the Immortal or Spice and Wolf?
First is some reasonably plotless killfest, the guy is held together by magic worms, and must kill 1000 baddies before he can die (or something).
Spice and Wolf is a slow love story between a travelling merchant and a wolf deity's human incarnation, sadly only 13 episodes, though a 2nd season is planned. |

I dreaded the Blade of the Immortal anime, as I really like the manga - and after a few episodes, I had to stop watching. It's nowhere near as good as the manga, and they made the manji character all wrong
I wouldn't recommend it.

I have found a new anime series of quality that i can safely recommend:
Monster
74 episodes of pure character and plot awesomness (I haven't finished tbh, I'm on episode 45)
it is also the most realistic anime i've seen so far (no weird animesc bull)
if only a fraction of the tv/movie dramas were half as good |

If you liked 5cm/s you'll like this one too. Its not as good overall, but has more interesting concept (imo).
Other than that, I have nothing I could recommend. And believe me, I'v been browsing alot of stuff. It's all been crap so far, sigh... /me goes back to reading books. |

Add the following to my list that can be found here.
Phantom The Animation - The story is really nice but unfortunatley at the end it feels as if half of the story hasnt been told.
Full Metal Panic - Good story with a bit of romance and a lot of guns and fun.
KimiKiss Pure Rouge - Pure romance packed in a good story.
The place promised in our early days - Interresting story
Personally im looking forward to watch xxxHoliC and Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle. Im reading both Mangas and im currently waiting for the next Vol.¦s to be released. And from friends i have only heard good about both Animes. I have just purchased the xxxHolic/Tsubasa Chronicle Limited edition DVD set witch contains the movies from both series.
For the ppl who are searching for good website where you can watch a lot of subbed Anime-series for free, i have added a link to my older post. |

A show guaranteed to f*** your mind so hard, you don't even know which way is up.
It was so hard to watch, I found myself shouting at my monitor.

FFS.... The thread that just won't die.
Here's an anime reccommendation for you - stop fecking about and watch something with a decihperable plot and some real-life action for a change.
I suppose anime is a bit like chess or excessive ************; you either get it or you don't. Personally I don't.
I am fully aware of the concept of willing suspension of disbelief, but even I can't stretch quite that far.
It's not big, and it's not clever, time to grow up little boys.

I enjoy a nice, gentle strum to <deleted for reasons of taste and decency>, segueing neatly into a frantic <deleted for reasons of taste and decency>, usually followed by a <deleted for reasons of taste and decency>, after which it takes me quite a while to collect myself, so to speak.
Oddly enough I don't feel the need to post 7 pages about it on the EVE forums.
I have a horrible, sneaking suspicion that anyone who has actually contributed to this thread thus far is probably aware of any of the reccommendations likely to be made by other posters which makes this, in effect, one big circle jerk for fans of doe-eyed, east/eur-asian (thanks George), under-age cartoon slappers with limited intellect and predictable responses to hackneyed plot devices and improbable dialogue.
...or am I missing something here?

Let me get something correct... you basically came into this thread to complain about people liking anime? And the fact it has a thread on the forums?
These aren't your forums, and this isn't your thread... How about you just don't post unless you have something constructive to say.
Now back to topic.... Another I would recommend is Mnemosyne no Musumetachi. I think this one was overlooked, at least I had never heard of it until recently. Its different, and geared toward older audiences IE: the exact opposite of what Jago outlined in his posts.

You are correct; these aren't my forums and this isn't my thread.
However, this has never stopped anyone in the past and is unlikely to stop them in the future.
These are also not your forums and this isn't your thread either; I'll post what and where I please (always subject to moderation natch).
Whether or not you view what I say as constructive or not is irrelevant, I have as much right to a voice here as any, and I chose to exercise that right in my original comment regarding a recommendation for anime. The fact that I'm coming at things from a slightly different angle to most folk who necro this thread from time to time is also irrelevant.
Given that my experience of anime is, by choice, admittedly somewhat limited, I am delighted to hear that it isn't all incomprehensible plots and thinly disguised, badly animated kiddie-****, and, if I find myself with a spare hour or two with nothing on the idiot-box I might even follow your recommendation and check out Mnemosyne no Musumetachi.... possibly.... sometime soon.... probably shortly before Satan starts skating to work.
In other news, Valdez charged with multiple counts of Taking Himself Too Seriously, Possession of Bad Politics and a Lack of Goodwill towards his fellow man.

Back on topic, Chrome Shelled Regios seems pretty good so far.
Another one that I have watched a few eps of is Platinumhugen Ordian, story is so far a little lacking, it just keeps hinting at some mystery. Some of the character art is just bizarre and doesn't fit with the majority of it at all (if you watch a few episodes you will know what I mean). |

Bumping this to try and keep it alive and prevent duplicate anime threads:
Anyone looked at Ride Back? Watched it recently, and apart from some very unsubtle and somewhat unnecessary plot devices in episode 7 has been pretty solid so far. Central to the plot are motorcycles with arms that can switch to a humanoid form.

While I've watched a few Anime, there were only two I actually liked.
First was Ghost in the Shell:SAC series, simply because the background society was extremely well thought out. I'm a sucker for detailed cultural backgrounds.
Second one was Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, for pure randomness and funny. What other anime would feature half an episode of claymation, and tell its audience that the people most likely to watch anime are stay-ins without jobs? I tell you, it's the new (more disturbing) Monty Python.
Edit: The only live action show I've ever like was Firefly.

I'd be interested to know what animes (if any) you've watched. For now, you have merely earned yourself a /facepalm.
Anyway, recent additions to my have-watched list include Sketchbook, a cathartic slice of life anime which is more slice of life and less cartharsis than, but still comparable to, Aria, and Darker Than Black, a nice little Sci-Fi series with the usual existential trimmings. Just last night I finished Ergo Proxy, which I passed over once before, but which turned out to be an excellent series, with worthy helpings of both plot and existential mind****ery.
Just started on GantZ, which looked good for the first half-episode, then devolved into silliness.
Originally by: Blane Xero

Tried to watch that, but gave up after 10 or 15 episodes of nothing happening but pointless fights and 1 repeated death scene (lol oxymoron).
Also, since Anime Recommendations Mk1 only reached 9 pages, to follow tradition it is nearly time for a Mk3.

I'd be interested to know what animes (if any) you've watched. For now, you have merely earned yourself a /facepalm.
Now go back to the last page and re-read the above quoted Jagoism in context, where it may not sound quite the same as you have interpreted it for purposes of having a go.
You'd have done better taking a quote from one of my earlier posts, rather than pouncing on a snippet of one you found in someone else's reply and taking umbridge at that. Try reading the whole thread, or at the very least the relevant sections, next time before leaping in and frothing in my direction.
Incidentally, the rest of your post bears out a few of my opinions on the anime that I have thus far been subjected to. Which side of the fence would you like to be on? Make a decision, I dare you.
With all due respect (or possibly lack thereof), the /facepalm is yours my friend.

Gosh. That was quick. Were you hiding under the bridge waiting for a response? Incidentally, I think I saw some goats on the way here and they're much fatter than me.
In answer to your not entirely unreasonable question, I've seen a fair few anime films over the years. My eldest nephew is a bit of a fan-boi and regular tries to convert me to the cause. Every time it's the same; "oh you'll like this one, it's not like the last one I showed you" and he's never right... at least not from my perspective.
I stand by what I've said. It's an opinion, but then so is everything else posted in this (regularly necroed) thread.
Not everyone likes what you like, which is probabaly just as well, and I reserve the right to dissent.
Rather than just looking for an argument that you might not lose, but certainly cannot win, why not make your next post a constructive one regarding your reccommendations for anime?
Here's mine; watch something more entertaining... I hear there's some paint drying in Birmingham somewhere; if we hurry we can beat the crowds.
Get well soon.

So you insult anyone who likes anime, and then go on to justify your position with "not everyone likes what you like"? Either you're trolling, or are genuinely ******ed enough to not notice the contradiction.
Luckily, the two are not mutually exclusive, so I can quite happily speculate that both cases are true.

Cool, I loved the original FMA (anime), but am glad they are not retreading old ground with the new series. Would have been a waste. I wonder what they are going to do about the parts that match the original anime? Spend time and money on re-animating scenes which have already been done? AFAIK the style is slightly different this time, so they can't just reuse.

Hypocrisy is in the eye of the beholder.
Actually hypocrisy can be logically proven. You're thinking of beauty.
Nope, I was definately thinking of hypocrisy. If you don't understand the point I was making and the fashion in which I was trying to make it, then it would be pointless to explain the machinations that led to it as you won't understand those either.
No insult intended there btw; it's just that I'm aware that there are times when one person's thought processes will seem totally alien to another person of (not neccessarily) differing intelligence. I think that this may well be one of those times.
Just a wild stab in the dark here... you're not from the USA by any chance are you?

Give up. As far as Forum Warriors go, Crumplecorns on his own level. You are not going to win this arguement. Not all anime is the same. And while there is a metric cow-dung load of bad anime, that does not mean the good ones are not good and that they are only enjoyable by perverted paedophiles with a fetish for tentacles.

Haven't seen any Evangelion posted yet. Does everybody hate it or something?
Yes.
Also, everyone has seen it.
Evangelion is a required show that you MUST watch before you move on to other shows.
Theres a jpg floating around with shows you have to watch first. |

Jago Kain. The man is like my rival.
Anytime this thread is on the front page, you can count on him being here.
Well at least you have now admitted that you don't HATE anime, you just feel that most of it is **** that is unworth watching.
That is something I can agree with to a limited extent. However, there are good shows out there that are geared towards adults. You just have to find them and watch them.
Admittedly I watch whatever is on TV. Sometimes its moeblob crap, othertimes its harem, and still yet sometimes its thriller/psychological stuff.

Eva is like learning skills. You probably shouldn't start off with it, but everyone does.

Haruhi season 2 upcoming, it seems to be mixed in with a rerun of season 1 episodes.
Maybe it'll be less... mediocre this time around. I want to believe.

I'm not trying to win an argument. I've actually adopted a position of defending myself from unwarranted accusations and misinterpretation of what I have actually said.
In any case, there is no argument to win. My merely failing to understand the attraction of anime isn't going to convince anyone who does like it to think again is it now? Surely you don't think folk are that easily influenced?

What point would that be exactly? I asked a question and Crumpy answered it... where's the point scoring in that?
Here's a radical suggestion. How about you let Crumpy speak for himself; if he's the 1337 forum ***** you seem to think he is, then that shouldn't be too much of a problem should it now?
Love you Xerox. Let's do lunch.
