You seriously like School Days, crazn?
I watched a bit of the beginning and it seems like a typical anime drama.
Everyone's telling me to stop watching it because it gets incredibly stupid.

Way too much Naruto and Bleach love here.

Code Geass (both seasons)
Death Note
CLANNAD
Fate/Stay Night
Haruhi Suzumiya
Rozen Maiden

And the summer anime that I've taken the most liking to are Sekirei, an anime that is like Fate/Stay Night except with a lot more fanservice, and Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu, which really entertains me.

EDIT: Forgot Gurren Lagann!

School Days was good, but I have no idea why they chose that particular bad ending.

I'm just annoyed that Key chose the most boring (imo) ending for Clannad.

But they've started on Tomoyo After, which features my most favourite Key character ever, so I'm so happy. Have you watched episode 24 of CLANNAD yet?

Oddly, also the only one i haven't finished yet.

I think I'll be doing that tomorrow.

Wait, what?

I thought Afterstory was based on the Nagisa arc?

And, links to episode 24? My friend was talking about this the other day, but I forgot to ask him for the link etc

My favorite anime is definitely Eureka Seven. Its just phenomenal.


And to the people hating on Bleach and Naruto...they really arent that bad. Theyre just about average, though I do like the fact that cool good guys are actually allowed to die in Naruto, too many a mangaka is scared to kill off their more awesome characters but not Kishimoto. Still neither of them is great. Theyre good though, definitely good enough to watch as long as you avoid the fillers.

  • Over 100 episodes. If they cannot complete their story in this time they're needlessly dragging it out. Oh wait, shounen anime.
  • Needless filler episodes that are completely unrelated to the main "story".
  • Boring characters.
  • Art quality is quite lackluster.

Just a few reasons. I'm also just not a fan of shounen epics.

-There is no set plot. It goes on and on and on.
-The characters pretty much have unlimited power.
-It follows the same cycle as naruto...get beat up, get god-like powers, beat the ultimate evil, find an even stronger opponent that completely owns you.
-Filler arcs that stray from the real "plot" (the manga's plot).
-Like Zero_ said, the characters are boring.
-Art isn't very decent.

Haha, this is so true, but I still read the manga. It's nice to have something to look forward to every Friday for the rest of your life.

There are non-epic shounen, and those tend to be awesome, if short-lived.
