So anime..

Never heard of it => A: LOVE IT!!! or => B: HATE IT!!!

At first I was never gave it a shot, but then I chose the path of loving it. Started off with Naruto and Bleach (still watch these even today). However there are heavy weights that are sooo good.

Full Metal Alchemist - This is my favorite. It's about a world where alchemy is possible. Converting one thing to another via alchemy. Everything must balance, you cannot take something from nothing. "Equal Exchange". Side note: there is also the original version of this being the manga. It is great supplementary material, but I far favor the anime story line (although I love sloth in the manga).

Samurai Champloo - Samurai Era (amazing sword fighting), but also some how mixes in hiphop in an HILARIOUS way. Good story, atmosphere/world.

Death Note - This is AMAZING. It is an extremely serious anime series (none of the parts where it becomes very Japanese T_T faces when they're sad/humiliated). It's a somewhat complex story with very adult themes (no porn or anything, but very violent [goreless]).

Get Backers - Interesting concept and implementation. Special powers people - sci-fi'ish/fantasy style. Very cool concepts.

Ergo Proxy - Very dark, but extremely interesting concepts. It feels a bit lacking in terms of almost like it's not complete, they finish the story, but there could be so much more in that world, or even using that world in a completely different story. Also Lil Mayer is hot.

Eureka Seven - beautiful love story based Mecha (humanoid robots much larger than man, controlled by a pilot) style anime. Enough said, so good (surfing human controlled giant robots.. fuck yeah, Vascud crisis!).

Full Metal Panic - Some mecha mostly humorous actions with Mecha mixed in.

Wolf's Rain - Best atmosphere besides Egro imo (atmosphere = general feel + world, 3rd place is Eureka 7). Just watch. Disappointment is not an option even though it is . Worth it though.

Digimon - Nostalgia * 1000. Watched this as a kid. Youtube the evolutions.

Gengan toppa gurren lagann - It makes fun of anime, specifically how it's a constant escalation of power per side, and it takes it to the next level to infinity in such a humorous and entertaining way. This is more appreciated if you have watched several anime series beforehand.

GTGL was good shit, galaxy throwing stars ftw.

I'm gonna answer this from a manga position, since I dont really watch anime.

Love FMA, no question there.

Vagabond is my preferred samurai series, and its ridicculously intense.



Siren loaned me Wolf's Rain a while ago, and I absolutely loved it. I read it in an hour and a half in school, and it was one of the best I've ever read.

check out Dragon Ball Z,Outlaw Star,and Gundam Wing man.And Big O


R.I.P. Toonami :'(

I heard one piece is like the longest running anime ever now.I used to watch it every once in awhile when it came on at night on cartoon network in like 2005.And the old school yugioh

I remember the old school yu-gi-oh... had a shit ton of cards, good times good times.




now i feel old

I feel old as hell too lol I'm a damn old man now

FMA and FMAB are both amazing series~!

Death note, if only that was real. I wanna be able to kill people at whim XD


My favorite show of all time is Chrono Crusade. You have to watch him! great, great show.

Also, take a look into Hetalia (hilarious comedy where all the countries around the time of WWII are represented by people. it's a history lesson as well as thee most entertaining thing ever. Oh and the episodes are like, 5 minutes long XD) as well as Katekyo Hitman Reborn.

Hetalia is definitely a good one.

probably one of sec's few almost-otakus presiding.

Please check out "Cowboy Bebop" and "Clannad" if you haven't yet. Don't start with Bleach, Naruto, or One Piece because those animes are chocked full of filler eps and will bore you to tears.

(def not One Piece. Producer said he'd keep making it until he died haha.)

Also, check out my personal fave "Afro Samurai". The others that are my faves probs are nsfw, so... (seikon, hehe)

Nah, I'm an otaku. Not afraid to admit it >.<

yeah, afro samurai is good XD

Lets see now.

I just finished Yosuga No Sora (courtesy of Storm3ye[you watch a LOT of anime man] for supplying the picture). Infinite Stratos and HoTD as well.

Also DLed quite a bit.

Fate/stay night, Fate zero, Freezing, Guilty Crown, Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai, Mayo Chiki.

Still waiting on that Gundam Unicorn to come out, watched most of the Gundam series. Z, ZZ, 0083,08th MS, Wing, Seed, 00.

Ah, pretty much everything I watch is in the original Japanese. A good English dub is hard to find, as quite a few of them are lackluster and do not portray the emotions right.

I started with Naruto but my brother had DVDs from the start of the anime to the middle(wtf?) of the kimmimaro fight. The filler gets ridculious but it's back on cannon now . Also Milk is 100% Otaku.

The only animes i've watched besides Bleach and Naruto are pretty much things that are on netflix instant stream. I loved blassreiter i thought it was a great anime. I also really liked samurai 7

I used to really be into it. Then one day I realized that 99% of it is total shit.
Quit buying it. Quit watching it.

There are a few that I still like and I still own a few (Cowboy Bepob collection etc...) and I'll still check one out if it's supposed to be truly excellent. Unfortunately most things people recommend are terrible.

I'm with you here, Metal.

I like anime. A lot of it is crap but you kinda learn what to avoid.

But:


That video contains truth.

the last anime series I watched was neon genesis evangelion...I thought it was pretty interesting. I liked the play on religion in it. The ending is pretty messed up though (the movie that's the true ending...the made for TV ending was just dumb)

I'm not really an anime guy though. DB/DBZ is pretty much the extent of my adventures into anime.

Anyone seen Akira?
