As you can see I watch a lot of different crap, I also watch Subbed or Dubbed and don't really care either way. I'm just not sure what I want to watch that I haven't yet and require some suggestions.

[Kim]

Soul Eater - If you can get past the first three eps (I'd recommend skipping eps 2 and 3) it becomes a damn excellent show.

I see no Gunbuster on your list. This must be rectified.

Eureka Seven is really slow, but I think it's a good watch. Just don't watch the movie.

Monster is an excellent anime. I'm pretty sure Hulu has it, too. It's about a famous brain surgeon named Dr Tenma going after a serial killer. It was once described to me as Death Note without the supernatural elements, and while that's not really that accurate, I think it's probably the best way to describe it without spoiling anything.

[krogothwolf]

Yes, I just watched the first 3 on Soul Eater and was debating watching four or not. Nice to know it picks up then.

I've been meaning to watch Gunbuster, but every time I'm about to something comes up and I forget about it for 3 or 4 months. It's a bad Cycle.

Tried Eureka Seven and just couldn't get into it, got up to episode 5 on it and haven't watch it much since.

I'll give Monster a shot though, sounds interesting.

[Julford Hajime]

Mother of Fuck, Krogo, every single thing I was gonna recommend is on that list. MSG, Zeta Gundam, Chrono Crusade, Love Hina, Captain Tylor. That is my usual list of "HEY YOU SHOULD WATCH THESE" series and dammit you've seen all of them.

I recommend Digimon. I still love it after all these years >.>

If you played (And liked) Tales of Symphonia, you could watch the OVA series.\

When They Cry (Higurashi no naku koro ni (Or something close to that)) is a series that creeps me the fuck out, but I keep going back to anyway.

I second Monster and Soul Eater, as well as skipping episodes 2 and 3 of Soul Eater. The series really DOES get good in episode 4, and you are only confused about who new people are for about five seconds.

Totally gonna recommend Robotech despite knowing that it's a horribly fucked up Macross. It's different enough to qualify as it's own :P

[krogothwolf]

Yeah, I have all of Robotech, didn't put that on there though because I just finished watching Macross Frontier and was stuck in Macross mode. Robotech and Harlock is what got me into watching Anime though, so at least the weird cutting job accomplished something!

It's not even an actual complete list to be honest, I've watch more but just can't remember everything off the top of my head.

[A Zarkin' Frood]

Maybe you'd like Gungrave. Character designs are by the same dude as Trigun.
If you're gonna watch Gungrave, though, I recommend skipping the first episode. It gets repeated in almost the same form later on and is a huge spoiler.

Also, Gunslinger Girl. One of my favorite series, only the first season though, the second one feels more like your average anime.

I also notice a horrible absence of Neon Genesis Evangelion,

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya... and... Gilgamesh.

I'm just tossing out shows in my DVD shelf missing from your list, to be honest. But they're all good shows.

Also: Watch Baccano!

[EVILNess]

Majin Tantei Nogami Neuro is pretty good. Best way to describe it is Detective Conan, if Conan himself were a demon who tortured his assistant with diabolical traps and there was magical living hair. it isn't long, just 25 episodes. The manga has a different ending and main villain, but both are pretty good.

I recently watched Airmaster (http://www.crunchyroll.com/airmaster) and it was decent. It's about a young girl who joins a street fighting tournament and then beats everyone's ass with the power of gymnastics.

Black Lagoon. Shit man. Just, Black Lagoon. It reminds me a lot of Cowboy Bee-bop, but that really isn't a fair comparison as both shows have entirely different tones. Currently, there are two complete seasons with 12 episodes each and a third season either currently airing or going to air soon.

GaoGaiGar. Watch it, if you do and don't instantly grow many chest hairs and cry manly tears then you are probably an alien, who will be promptly smashed by GaoGaiGar's giant golden hammer.

History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi! Probably one of my favorite manga (Although the fanservice has gotten a bit... excessive.) the anime is charming and fun.

Desert Punk. The English dub is hilarious, much better than the Japanese in my opinion, but still a great comedic action show.

I can probably think of more if you want.

[phil_]

You've watched Dai-Guard?
Phil's Loyalty +10

Recommendations! Baccano and Gunbuster because, seriously, you need to watch Gunbuster and Diebuster. As for stuff that hasn't been recommended, Kino no Tabi is about Kino driving around on her talking motorcycle named Hermes, visiting independent city-states and getting into trouble exploring the local culture. She shoots people with guns sometimes. Great Teacher Onizuka is about a great teacher named Onizuka. There are antics. You'll like it, trust me.

[greed]

Also the Big O. It's basically what happens when a bunch of anime people see Batman the Animated Series and decide to make a mind screwy mecha series inspired by it.

[Menarker]

Ebichu the House-Keeping Hamster. :3

>_> Don't let your precious child watch it though. It may look slightly like Hamtaro in terms of art, but it is dirty, perverted and HILARIOUS.

You can even check it out on Youtube. ^^


If you can handle a bit of romance, I'd advise Maison Ikkoku and Kimagure Orange Road. Both are old shows and very long series, but they got their special charms and humor.

Also consider Golden Boy if you just want hilarious short stories (also not for the baby).

If you rather stick with action, I honestly advise you check out Hajime no Ippo. A prime example of a boxing anime and a fine example of an anime in and of itself.

... and you never seen Ranma 1/2? Try a bit of it!

[krogothwolf]

Dai-Guard is awesome! Ripping your arm off and throwing it at the enemy is the greatest rocket punch ever!

Also. Watched Great Teacher Onizuka(GTO) and Evangelion, both are on my list! Damn you lazy people half reading my list!

Onizuka is the best freaking teacher ever!

You know, I've picked up Desert Punk 8 or 9 times going "Should I get this?" and then putting it down a because I could never decide. Same with Black Lagoon.

GaoGaiGear always reminded me of Voltron when i've looked at it so I haven't actually looked much into it.

Melancohly scared me when you guys talked about it's endless eight episode ring.

Big 0 and Golden Boy I have, just forget em on the list! Same with Kenichi.

[Julford Hajime]

Votoms. TOTALLY forgot about that one. Basically they were bipedal tanks instead of robots, and it was really awesome. /m/ demands you watch it in production order, not chronological order, but I've never seen more than the original series so go with whatever >.>

[Fifthfiend]

I hear high school of the dead is pretty good

[EVILNess]

GaoGaiGar is more of the Super Sentai sensibility than Voltron. It is equal parts absurd and over the top awesome.

As for Desert Punk... well... here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TNGgCTlcJs)is a link with some clips for the first episode.

Black Lagoon is dark. Like really dark. The characters are seriously fucked up people. Still the Church of Violence is the best Church ever.

[mauve]

Paranoia Agent. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-anabfAg06U&feature=related) Not an anime to watch while young children are in the room, though. They'll grow up having nightmares about stuffed animals (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5LKs6LlsPQ&feature=related)and kids with baseball bats.

[phil_]

Also. Watched Great Teacher Onizuka(GTO) and Evangelion, both are on my list! Damn you lazy people half reading my list!

Onizuka is the best freaking teacher ever!Whoops, so it is. Still, Kino no Tabi, and I guess I'll further recommend Haruhi. Watch Haruhi in the order that it aired, not chronological. I have no clue why the DVDs are all in chronological order. The books aren't even in chronological order.

Also, Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi. Comedy, the episodes are in the right order, the dub is fine. Watch it in any manner you choose.

[CABAL49]

If you want a series that is without end, Yu Yu Hakusho. Same generation as DBZ. Also makes a good abridged series. Also the Gantz anime was alright.

[Menarker]

Also, for action, intrigue and some of the best music I heard, I would recommend Noir

Hell, I got a website here that might be of some use. It's not quite as up to date as it was before, but it still has a good list of shows that you can check out, especially with their "grading scale" which I tend to agree with.

http://www.animeacademy.com/libgrade90.php

[krogothwolf]

Votoms: Yeah I've seen that, pretty sweet too.

Ranma 1/2: Seen it as well! Like I said list is 100% accurate since I've seen a crap ton of anime.

Bacanno: Seen that too! Pretty damn sweet.

Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi: Looks interesting, will have to check it out. Adding it to list of stuff to look for

Paranoia Agent: What the fucking hell? Like..what the? That Old lady is creepy. Can just picture her laugh...jesus...urge to watch it now.

Ebichu the House-Keeping Hamster: If this has hamster on human action I will hunt you down and KILL YOU!

Highschool of the Dead: Isn't that the one with the Boob Bullet time?

Desert Punk: Did he keep opening and closing her legs? Looks interesting though!

[Menarker]

Ebichu the House-Keeping Hamster: If this has hamster on human action I will hunt you down and KILL YOU!


Well, I can promise that there is no actual hamster on human action... =P
Seriously though, the hamster is more of a bystander/narrator of the craziness she is caught in than a love interest. ^,^

[Yumil]

Kurogane no Linebarrels was a bearable watch, and with the number of mecha anime you have on your list, probably something that is up your alley.

You'd probably also appreciate Shakugan no Shana and Zero no Tsukaima by looking at your list. Each has a couple seasons.

I also suggest Angel Beats(god, it's funny and depressing at the same time) and Hero Man(it's currently running, though it's nearly over, Stan Lee had a hand in it).

Infinite Ryvius is pretty awesome once you get a few episodes in. It's probably right up your alley too.

[synkr0nized]

Noir

Anything Tenchi [don't mock me D:]

[Yumil]

Noir

Anything Tenchi [don't mock me D:]

Tenchi Universe and Muyo are awesome. Tenchi in Tokyo, Pretty Sammy, and Isekai no Seikishi Monogatari(ok that one is technically not Tenchi, but the main character is supposed to be Tenchi's brother) can go to hell.

[krogothwolf]

Tenchi: My issue with this series which I've always been trying to find locally is that it had at one point been impossible to find I gave up. I'll have to start looking again.

Kurogane no Linebarrels: I looked at it and debated over this for awhile.

Yeah I watch a lot of mecha anime, though mostly real robot over super robot.

Shakugan no Shana:Looks interesting, I'll add it to the list.

Zero no Tsukaima: I was actually looking at getting this one and was debating it. Probably will anyways it looks cool enough.

Angel Beats: Isn't this the Purgatory high school one?

Hero Man: The current Stan Lee worries me with his decisions sometimes. looks interesting but I was wary of it.

Infinite Ryvius: I heard this one is freakin weird. Might look into it then.

Second person to plug Noir means I'll definitely look at it.

[CABAL49]

Gantz is good except for the last two episodes.

[krogothwolf]

Gantz is already on my list man! I enjoyed it until the final two episodes as well.

The reason I'm shying away from Yu Yu is I don't really feel like watching another never ending anime from the beginning right now.

[mauve]

Paranoia Agent: What the fucking hell? Like..what the? That Old lady is creepy. Can just picture her laugh...jesus...urge to watch it now.
:D :D :D :D

Paranoia Agent is creepy, addictive, and in some places, a tad disturbing. Without giving too much away, the story follows a variety of characters as they become involved with a serial attacker known only as Li'l Slugger. Each episode delves into the life of one of his victims, who you see in the opening and ending videos I posted. Li'l Slugger is a young boy who chases his victims down on roller blades and attacks them with a baseball bat. He then disappears before anyone can catch him.

As the series goes on, you start to realize that all of the victims are connected, all of the attacks have something in common, and Li'l Slugger may not be what he seems....

The series will drive you crazy trying to figure out who and what Li'l Slugger really is, as well as what the deal is with the pink stuffed animal you see briefly in the ending video. It's a good psychological thriller, and I highly reccommend it, but it's definitely one I'd rate M for Mature for some sexual content and general disturbia.


And the old lady is actually one of the nicer characters, if I remember correctly.

[lazy man]

So this thread got me looking through my anime folder to see what I'd watched again, and there are a couple I haven't seen that I thought were good. Not sure if you've seen them since I didn't see them on your list, but who knows!

Darker Than Black- A fun anime about people with superpowers using them for espionage and underground crime and such. A little weird near the end, but the rest is good enough to balance it out.

Dead Leaves- Leave your brain at the door, you won't need it. It's crazy, off the wall, and dammit I loved it.

Evangelion movies- The recent ones that are remaking the series (only two out so far). Again, not sure if you saw them since you just mentioned Eva in general, but I feel they're worth mentioning just in case. And boy do they take the source material in a different direction.

Sword of the Stranger- A movie by Bones that kinda caught me by surprise. Kinda slow, but the fight scenes are really awesome, specially the last one.

And last but not least...

Megas XLR- Ok, so it's not an anime, but it's in my anime folder. And it's awesome. So find a way to watch it!

[Fifthfiend]

Zero no Tsumaika was kind of fun until I worked out it was another fucking anime where the hero and the heroine were never gonna just fucking get together no matter how many times they got together.

Like a dozen fucking times in that shit they both confess their twoo wuv for each other and then the next episode they're back to hating each other / not knowing how to confess their twoo wuv.

If that ain't a thing that's gonna bother you too hard then I would say go ahead and enjoy it because it's pretty good aside from that but if it is a thing that's gonna bug you then goddamn don't watch that shit.

EDIT: The thing that made an impression on me with Gantz is I was sitting there watching it about midway through the series literally saying to myself pssssssssht yeah right these are the main characters there's no way any of them are gonna die and then like five minutes later THEY ALL DO

EDIT: I just noticed you said you'd watched all of Full Metal Panic, Zero is SO INCREDIBLY the anime for you

[Kyanbu The Legend]

Krogo you've watched nearly everything good. What more could you want man! Is your hunger not quenchable!?

Try King of Bandit Jing, UFO Princess Valkyrie, Magical Pokaan, and maybe Eden's Bowy.

[Kim]

Oh, man, you should check out Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei. It is fantastic. It is arguably the best comedy show I've seen. First season is great, second season is better, third season isn't as good but still has some fantastic bits. Seriously. Watch it.

[Fifthfiend]

Let's see what else...

Claymore! Claymore is pretty good although the last couple episodes get really fucking stupid (in the usual way of these things). It's got a lot of like... weird shit going on all over it but pretty good in spite of, or possibly because of that. I feel like if someone enjoyed Gantz they would probably enjoy this.

And um... Demon King Daimao ended up being surprisingly decent? Or I mean, decent by the standards of Tenchi comedy. Also, the dragon was cool.

[Yumil]

Tenchi: My issue with this series which I've always been trying to find locally is that it had at one point been impossible to find I gave up. I'll have to start looking again.

Kurogane no Linebarrels: I looked at it and debated over this for awhile.

Yeah I watch a lot of mecha anime, though mostly real robot over super robot.

Shakugan no Shana:Looks interesting, I'll add it to the list.

Zero no Tsukaima: I was actually looking at getting this one and was debating it. Probably will anyways it looks cool enough.
Zero no Tsukaima and Shakugan no Shana are both light novel adaptions and very similar in themes they try to convey.

Angel Beats: Isn't this the Purgatory high school one?
Yes. Examples of their comedy:) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTYwJEZP16w)

Hero Man: The current Stan Lee worries me with his decisions sometimes. looks interesting but I was wary of it.
He worries me to, but the Japanese stuff he's had a hand in has turned out ok(as in he's not writing, just advising). Plus he gets awesome cameos


Infinite Ryvius: I heard this one is freakin weird. Might look into it then.
It's definitely somewhat weird. The main thing is the psychological nature of it and how the students cope with the world throwing them away and the things they have to do to survive. A lot of what happens on the ship mirror politics and in a way it's a lot like Lord of the Flies.

And um... Demon King Daimao ended up being surprisingly decent? Or I mean, decent by the standards of Tenchi comedy. Also, the dragon was cool.
While he was pretty gar, the scene with the sea cucumber almost made me stop watching it.

[EVILNess]

Yu Yu Hakusho isn't stupidly long, it's just 112 episodes (Although this is comparatively long since most of the animes that have been suggested run like 50 max.)

It's pretty good. Now the author's other work Hunter x Hunter is stupidly long, and kinda boring. And somehow they end up fighting Cell.

[phil_]

Magical PokaanI forgot about Magipo! Another awesome comedy, though this one's about demon princesses (a witch, vampire, werewolf, android, and ghost) trying to live in the human world. They have a tree house; watch it.

[Kyanbu The Legend]

Wait there's a ghost? I must of missed an episode or they made a second season and I didn't learn about it till now.

[Yumil]

He's probably refering to Keimie, who is an invisible woman. They are all girl versions of bmovie monsters(vampire, werewolf, frankenstein, witch, and invisible woman)

[Kyanbu The Legend]

Ah, Keimie forgot all about her.

[EVILNess]

Have you seen s-CRY-ed?

It's an anime about PUNCHING things.

[Kyanbu The Legend]

Have you seen s-CRY-ed?

It's an anime about PUNCHING things.

Mainly people.

Krogo, it's worth a look. It's a pretty decent fighting Anime.

[synkr0nized]

It's also where Kamina got the inspiration for his sunglasses.




AAABBBSOOORBBBBTION.



Also, why aren't the two seasons of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex anywhere in this thread yet? FROWN

[Kyanbu The Legend]

I thought someone had mentioned it by now so I never bothered to suggest it. Plus I figured Krogo likely has already seen them anyway along with most of or all of the movies.

[synkr0nized]

Like I said, not mentioned in the thread yet.

And at least one post suggests something in his list already.

[EVILNess]

Mainly people.

Krogo, it's worth a look. It's a pretty decent fighting Anime.

People are things.

Just don't read the Manga.

It's ridiculous and not the awesome kind.

[01d55]

Hey, go watch Sasameki Koto (http://www.crunchyroll.com/sasamekikoto).

[krogothwolf]

Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei: Hmm...Suicidal Teacher in a Bizarre Class? Looks interesting.

Dead Leaves: Is one of the characters wearing a radio on his head?

Darker Than Black: I'll add this to the maybe pile.

Sword of the Stranger: Probably not till later.

King of Bandit Jing: Watched!

UFO Princess Valkyrie: Ah! My Goddess but with Aliens?

Magical Pokaan: Huh, Looks interesting.

Eden's Bowy: God Hunter? What he Hell?

Claymore: Another one I've looked up but put down not knowing if I wanted or not.

Demon King Daimao: Cool Dragon? Hmmmm...maybe..but Sea Cucumber...? the hell?

s-cry-ed: I've seen it, pretty cool. Kinda Lame ending though.

Ghost in The Shell: Yeah, totally watched em all!

Sasameki Koto: Lesbian Romance Comedy?

And the reason I need more anime is because I NEED MORE!! My appetite is never quenched because I watched at least 3-5 episodes a day.

[Magni]

I second Darker Than Black. Music is by Yoko Kanno. I'd skip the second season, though.

Seconding Hajime no Ippo as well. I've probably seen all of it about 6 times now. God help you if you manage to find and watch the dub. It's terrible.

I noticed a lack of RahXephon for someone that watches mech animes. I will assume you have seen it already, though.

Busou Renkin was a good one that I often forget I've watched.

Major! It's an anime about a kid who loves baseball and his journey to the Majors. It's actually pretty good. In its 6th season atm.

The SoulTaker (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Omn7Zhg2o48). An anime few people know of to my knowledge. Rather awesome in its presentation.

[lazy man]

Dead Leaves: Is one of the characters wearing a radio on his head?

Yep, that'd be it. And the other main character looks like a panda.

[Fifthfiend]

Buso Renkin was cool till about halfway through when it just goes full-whafuck and the previously cool girl character goes all Passive Anime Girl.

[synkr0nized]

I noticed a lack of RahXephon for someone that watches mech animes.

Good call.

[krogothwolf]

I've watched RahXephon as well, was pretty good. I actually liked it better then Evangelion.

[Fifthfiend]

Everyone liked it better than Evangelion.

[Kyanbu The Legend]

King of Bandit Jing: Watched!

UFO Princess Valkyrie: Ah! My Goddess but with Aliens?

Magical Pokaan: Huh, Looks interesting.

Eden's Bowy: God Hunter? What he Hell?

Ghost in The Shell: Yeah, totally watched em all!

And the reason I need more anime is because I NEED MORE!! My appetite is never quenched because I watched at least 3-5 episodes a day.

1. Damn you bastard I was almost convinced you hadn't seen it yet.

2. Tenchi comes to mind when I think of UFO PV but yeah lets go with that. Still an alright show up till season 4 were the Comedy gets more hit or miss.

3. Damn right it looks interesting!

4. It's decent trust me and it's been awhile so I can't really help there.

5. Had a feeling you already seen it.

[RobinStarwing]

Wolf's Rain is one I would highly recommend.

Magic Knight Rayearth as well. ^_^

And finally...The Witchblade Anime.

I also don't see BSSM on your list of watched either.

Oh and there is also Karas: The Prophecy and Karas: The Revelation as well.

If I think of anything else, I will let you know. ^_^

As for Eureka seveN...it is a slow anime and sometimes you want to hit your head on a wall or surface of some type because of the events but they also make you laugh.

Not to mention it has one of the most epic endings I've ever seen for a series.

By the way, with the exception of BSSM...I have all the Animes I've listed on DVD. So I am not just spouting garbage here. I've watched these series/movies from beginning to end.

[krogothwolf]

Karas: Have an watched, same with Wolf's Rain and witchblade, and I've watched Rayearth

Also if you're talking about Bish?jo Senshi Sailor Moon, I'mma gonna gouge out your eyes with a dull and rusted spoon because I had to buy those for my wife and watch them and would rather kill myself then do that again.

[Julford Hajime]

You know what? Angelic Layer.

Because I'm currently suffering through it and fuck it if I don't make someone else suffer through it too. It's a Bones anime, but the story is by Clamp and does nothing to hide that it's has an absolutely ABYSMAL plot ("I'll abandon my 5-year old daughter because I don't want her to see me in a wheelchair and this research will make it so that I can walk again but it'll take something like 10 years!" THIS IS THE MAIN CHARACTER'S MOTHER, EVERYBODY). Still, the fight scenes are gorgeous and I keep coming back for more.

Did not know that. Sorry >_>

[Magni]

Mushi-shi is wonderful anime if you like storytelling. I'd suggest the sub.

My room mate from college watched Last Exile which seemed decent from what I glimpsed at now and then.

And again: Hajime no Ippo and The SoulTaker.

What about the Devil May Cry anime?

[Magni]

What about the Devil May Cry anime?

I never looked into that one. Don't really know why. Maybe I should fix that.

[Kim]

I watched it and thought it was okay. Nothing special, and I actually ended up a bit disappointed because Dante never used his turn into a demon powers.

EDIT: Watch Yakitate Japan. It is more excellent than any show about baking ought to be. Starts off just okay, but once you get to the first tournament arc it gets balls to the wall awesome.
