LaughingMan9

@DashingRainbow: I liked it. And the movie too.

The Shaman King intro. Dragonball or Dragonball Z

Jakalarf

@LaughingMan9: well at least you have it. cowboy isn't even available in Canada on netflix.

JohnStephen

I watched the first few episodes of that Upotte show that DashingRainbow and KimmyJ recommended and it's.... interesting....

I liked FLCL and Neon Genesis Evangelion. Loved them both. FLCL is a little strange but makes sense once you understand, it's pretty straight foward. I love that show so much. Pretty funny, too.
Then there's NGE. WOAH BOY, good fucking luck understanding it fully without Google. It helps if you don't watch at 2-5am like I did, though. But I still loved the fuck outta that show even if Shinji was a whiney bitch and Asuka was nearly totally unlikable.
They were both made by Gainax, and so was that Panty and Stocking show so that I guess.

I've heard only good things about Cowboy Bebop, I plan on watching it after the NGE Rebuild, but until then I can't exactly recommend it.

When I was a kid I loved Shaman King, and the intro makes me jizz out my ears with the force of a thousand suns. So that.

I liked the manga of Full Metal Alchemist and G.Gray Man so I assume that the animes are good too.

Also Bleach, because tits and blood and that's pretty much it.

JohnStephen

PS, Bleach was a joke

LaughingMan9

@Jakalarf: There's some less than legal ways of going about that.

deadshadow

foking furry

watch witchblade it's great :3

Jakalarf

@LaughingMan9:true, but honestly with all the praise it gets I'll probably just buy it off amazon or something.

LaughingMan9

@Jakalarf: Absolutely worth it. Just make sure it has the english dub, it makes a world of difference in the delivery and atmosphere.

Jakalarf

@deadshadow:i think i saw witchblade on netflix, I'll give it a look.

deadshadow

foking furry

@Jakalarf: make sure it's the anime its an american comic

twilightsparkle

cant believe no one said it but one piece is really awesome its almost at 700 in manga and is in the 580s in the anime. the newer episodes aren't english dub but it doesn't matter it doesn't affect the outcome.

hydrosistalon

Sword art online, psycho pass, fairy tail, soul eater

Gonna basically repost what I posted last time.


It depends on what you're looking for in your next show.


Hellsing Ultimate and Highschool of the Dead are really great visually, but aren't extremely deep in terms of story.


FLCL (Fooly Cooly) is really nice, considering it's only 6 episodes. It's pretty crazy and action-filled. It's also just good-looking, being a Gainax anime.


Elfen Lied is also violent like Hellsing: Ultimate or HOTD, but it's also pretty emotional. It's only 13 episodes, so it's short.


Generally solid ones I'd recommend to anyone are Samurai Champloo and Cowboy Bebop, if you haven't seen them yet.


Lucky Star is a lighthearted sitcom-esque show. It's also kawaii as fuck


My personal favourite is Clannad, so I recommend that for people who want something deep and aren't against watching a romance anime.

JohnStephen

@BreadWolf:
GAAH! Don't type it Fooly Cooly! It's written "FLCL" and pronounced Fooly Cooly! THAT'S ONE OF MY MANY PET PEEVES (along with the term "pet peeve" itself, being grammatically incorrect).

@JohnStephen:

I put FLCL in parentheses. I'm sure most people would be able to figure it out.

ReservoirDog

Baccano! It is a hell of an anime, great story and A LOT of action. One of the best recent animes to come out.

JohnStephen

@BreadWolf:
Yeah, but it's like saying "anymay (anime)". When they're looking it up and such, they'll be searching FLCL.
Sorry, but it's one of my many pet peeves.

BreadWolf

Weinerlord

@JohnStephen:
I understand what you're saying, I just don't see it as any sort of big deal. Either way, I'll fix that.

DashingRainbow

I change all of my recomendations to Fate/zero! It's so fucking good!

hydrosistalon

I recommend fairy tail, BTOOM!, Sword art online, soul eater, deadman wonderland, and psychopass

Jakalarf

so, this is becoming a thing again.

DashingRainbow

@Jakalarf:
no bitching! watch Fate/Zero!

Jakalarf

since i made this i only got this CHAT Image
and this CHAT Image

ZombieScourge

I found Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou funny as hell, definitely worth a watch.


Example:

@Jakalarf:
Bumping because. Ghost in the Shell is great, and you should watch Stand Alone Complex, the anime series that comes after the movie. It's awesome.

Baka to Test without a doubt. I just watched it a few months ago and i loved it. It's a comedy, not really a lot of action, but the characters are really relatable and the way they interact with each other is just amazing.

Aldriko

Baka to Test is the Japanese with English subtitles, Baka and Test is the english dub

InvisibleMadman

Do you know any websites that support mobile video streaming. I use my iphone most of the time to watch anime.

I haven't seen it here yet so, Steins;Gate. Fan-fucking-tastic series. I also really liked Anohana, Mirai Nikki, Another and of course Gurren Lagann.

MrFozzilla

@BreadWolf: Kyoukai no Kanata? Nope. Not at all (hopefully not later). More of a cute girl trying to slay her immortal classmate until she realizes the enitable and he helps her with something anime. Pretty badass and well animated.

Neal

ROLF

@MrFozzilla: It is so good. I can't wait for more.

CyroWolf

Bakemonogatari. We need more Bakemonogatari. (And the sequels, Nisemonogatari, Nekomonogatari, and Bakemonogatari: Second Season, but I haven't gotten to those yet.)

Zackizzle

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (2012), Kuroko no Basuke, Hajime no Ippo, Bakuman, Baccano , Usagi Drop, and the Eve no Jikan movie.

@Neal: Yeah but I can do with people not bitching about her uniform. It seems that it covers more as she defeats people or atleast gets stronger than it previously was. But yeah I also love it so far

Jakalarf

@Neal: that ones in my queue.

Jakalarf

@MrFozzilla: probably get to it eventually
