Anime General Thread

[Kayne]

Anyone know any good one to watch? Not including Naruto, Or any anime thats on cartoon network (not including adult swim)

Just started getting into it. Finished watching Highschool of the dead, Elfen lied, Full metal panic, and Death note. Enjoyed them all.

Heard alot about bleach ( as in, i've heard alot of people talking about it, no actual "its good"), but idk If i want to, so possibly any others?

Cheers

Anime general thread.

Don't touch Bleach. First season was great, then it just falls into a pit of despair.

Grab Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood. It's Full Metal Alchemist redone due to the manga being finished. But it's not necessarily gory, although it has quite a few scenes that make you cringe.

Animated really well due to a healthy budget and it's not drawn out, every episode is full of action.

My top favs are:

Eureka Seven.
Xam'd; Lost Memories.
Evangelion.
Trigun.

Worthy of mention:

Casshern Sins
Afro Samurai

Movies worth watching:

Paprika.
Anything by Studio Ghibli (seriously, anything).
Origin: Spirits of the Past.
Evangelion (Purely because of the reanimated goodness).
Spriggan.
Steamboy.
Stranger.

Check out Anime-Planet.com. Plug in what anime's you like and then check out the ones that are related/recommended. You should be able to find some pretty decent series. A good rule of thumb is the best anime only have 20 - 25 episodes per season and only last 1 season, 2 max.

[Kayne]

Holy shit, I didn't even think of anime movies. Cheers man. I'll definitely check out that site

Also I agree, An anime is kinda disappointing when its only 12 eps long, 1 season.

Forgot to mention i'm watching Higurashi no naku koro ni atm. The idea (from what i've worked out so far) is good but it doesn't seem to be going anywhere? Not going to spoil anything but yeah.

[Kayne]

Sites awesome. Cheers man

+ 'pretend' rep.

Censorship tbh.

[Pyromanik]

Ghost in the Shell.

Kenshin. Though it fell to bits after the main story arc finished... but that's common of almost everything out there. They finish the story then sorta just dump 'fillers' in until everyone loses interest. Usually becaue the Anime gets produced faster than the manga, so they have to make shit up until enough of the story arc gets finished to release another episode with real content and character development.

Code Geass - if you liked deathnote you will most likely enjoy this
Trigun
Cowboy bebop
Claymore

Plus all most of the others that have already been listed. Like retardo said bleach started off well but its another anime that is just dragged out far too long.

[Tiwaking!]

Cowboy bebop
Claymore

I will second these recommendations. Cowboy Bebop is surprisingly good and is a classic.

[CSfaith]

Heilsing Series - (fucking epic )
Gutts (manga which leads into comic series (Also called Beserka)
Samurai Chumpaloo (priceless series)
Fist of the north star

Loads more (friend of mine collects the DVD sets, but for the life of me can not remember the other goodies he has, will update later)

[pop]

movies:
seen akira? its some of the shit is fucked up but still a good story.
princess mononoke is quite gory

shows:
Deathnote was awesome, Kinda forgotten the story (but still knows what happen in the end) but still, might rewatch
Also now im watching black cat. It used to be on cartoon network (adult swim i think) but it got the funny stuff in it aswell Haha
Samurai champloo is awesome aswell.
Also only seen 1 episode of blade: anime but it's gory aswell

[hoodieblanket]

if you are worried about downloading and your internet cap. I recommend this. Entire episodes in 75mb videos (or more if you want) etc. Quality is good and its all subtitled etc.

http://minitheatre.org/

[Kayne]

most mkv vids that i download are around that area but cheers for the link. I'll end up using it when i can't find any links

There's a high chance i'm going to watch every single anime posted in this thread lol. Apart from bleach. Or Naruto, if that pops up ;p

Also, Today I finished watching Higurashi no naku koro ni....Not sure how I'ld rate it... Bit fucked at first, Then a bit slow, Then a bit weird.

Next anime, Spose i'll start from the top.

[Pyromanik]

I highly recommend Darker than Black. Not extremely gory, but very adult themed. (and not the porn kind of 'adult').

[Kayne]

Yeah Adult would be a good way to describe the anime I'm wanting.

Just to clarify, By Adult,  I don't mean hentai (Although nudity in normal anime is usually funny), but swearing + dirty jokes (@ nudity i just talked aboot), + Gore... They make it good.

[Pyromanik]

Darker than Black is more ... 'serious', but still v. good.

[pop]

Mabye GTO.
It was funniest thing when I first seen it.

little snippets

[hoodieblanket]

brotip: learn to read subtitles and watch the japanese versions. english dub always ruins the story and the experience.

^ I was cringing through those clips because the japanese version gives a completely different vibe and makes it a completely different, much much better experience.

[ninjaweedman]

ghost in the shell movies (especially the second one) are excellent, also ghost in the shell standalone complex series is awesome, that shit gets deep

[pop]

blah only anime I watch in english dub would be gto and samurai champloo. I just liked the english dub version better for those particular ones

[Kayne]

BAM. Not really a thread revive, but an update!

I've watched (in total) 164 eps of anime. Also watched Paprika and spriggin (ty Rii)

Anyway, I'm still open for anime suggestions, Im slowly going to work through the list

Also what im saying is that if you want to see any anime that i think is good, check my profile on anime-planet. http://www.anime-planet.com/users/Kayne/anime
Not much there atm, but it will grow!

Lastly, A very awesome anime i've just watched. Black Lagoon. Extremely action packed, Just pure awesome.

oh and I only watch english dubbed

[Pyromanik]

oh and I only watch english dubbed

wut -.-

[Pyromanik]

You're not watching anime, you're watching ear rape.

[hoodieblanket]

oh and I only watch english dubbed

Listening to english dub is as bad as sucking hitlers dicks.(he had 2 dicks)
just so you know

lol but seriously it is a matter of opinion but i just cant stand english dub after having watched it subbed. the voice acting is like a fucking topnotch career over there and you can really tell quality of it all when watching subbed

[Kayne]

Meh. You know you love it

Nah man. I agree, some voice acting is shit, Elfen lied was horrible (voice acting).

I don't mind the voice acting that i've seen, apart from that.


Apart from that one anime, its been fine.

Btw... Can anyone answer this...

Why does japan think its okay to fuck your cousin?

[hoodieblanket]

no fucking idea. some of their shit is crazy but it draws an audience.
