Samurai Champloo is an awesome anime and Gurren Lagann is good if you like sci-fi

 

[xRisingForce]

How about Rurouni Kenshin? It has both lighthearted elements as well as a serious psychological struggle, both implemented seamlessly in the down-to-Earth and lovable setting of Meiji-era Japan. All the elements that make a good anime: freshness of the concept art (i.e. manga), quality of the animation production, a good plot (which entails things like the setting, genre, the type of fighting or lack thereof), and good music are not just present here and minimally executed but go far beyond the call of duty.

For people that generally dislike the bubblegummy,cutesy side of anime, bring 'em onboard with Zeta Gundam. The character development and plot progression is inspired in somewhat in the same director's-own-psychology vein as Evangelion was. No paragraph can be well written enough to do this show justice. Out of the list of four above, the plot in my opinion is Zeta's most blatant forte.

As for great pseudo-professional anime reviews, check out http://ThemAnime.org. They're a favorite of mine and the site encompasses a huge amount of content. Then there's http://anime.mikomi.org, a rating/review website built on the opinions of solely the fans.

Both are amazing! Gurren Lagann is too good!

What about Outlaw Star, that anime is epic!

Is it? I guess I'll finish it then.

And yes, Gurren Lagann is definitely worth watching, even as a first anime.

 

[XalchemistX]

For people who dont like anime I highly recomend watching DeathNote.... if u like suspense.

is School Rumble any good?

 

[Tomato Kirby]

I do not know if this is for people who do not like manga (insulted forever or new manga addict, it seems), but there is a Mario series manga called "Super Mario Kun."

I have not read it; I just found out about it. It is mostly Japan-exclusive, of course. It covers "various games (such as Super Mario 64, the various Paper Mario games, et c.)." I would describe the art-style is cartoonish.

Links to where I found them:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Mario-Kun

Never mind the fact about it being from Wikipedia; it is nearly Japan-exclusive.

I've heard that it's good, but I've yet to watch it myself.

 

[Negi-Kun]

Ya gotta love Death Note.

 

[Melee1]

I main the iceclimbers.

 

[Sandoggg]

Dragonball (manga)
Death Note (anime)
Berserk (anime, although i should get the manga)
Kiba (anime) was pretty good
FLCL was unforgettable lol..

but yeah.. kind of small exposure for me.

 

[ShaolinAce]

I'm into Draognball (long time fan and vet I know everything about DBZ), Bleach and one piece.

Does anybody know where I could read berserk? I want to get into it.

 

[aznegglover]

Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.

Good or bad, manga or anime?

Thanks

Good but overrated. There is no manga, it's based on light novels. Watch the anime, it's short. If you're into it you could find translations of the novels which go into the story a lot more.

Oh, and Berserk is hard to find because the distribution company sends out a lot of Cease and Desists, but here's one place: http://manga.getfansub.com/manga/index.php/Berserk

Although the translation, at least for the early parts, is AWFUL, give it a chance, it's pretty much the best manga.

 

[aznegglover]

Thanks

Is Black Cat any good? o;

 

[Mediocre]

Thanks

The Black Cat manga is pretty much your average shounen stuff. Nothing particularly exciting.

I can't speak for the anime. I haven't seen it.

The bread anime
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakitate!!_Japan

I've kind of fallen out of anime but this was one serise I really enjoyed, there is inly slight character development, and the plots are very simple. But you won't find yourself drowning in the sillyness that most anime present. You also end up learning quite a bit about beard through the experince as well.

I suggest it for anyone who doesn't like anime, lol.

I was suggested this through my friend.

I can't seem to find it though do you know where I can stream/torrent this anime?

 

[<π]

crunchyroll.com probablly still has it.

 

[PRINCESS PEACH777]

Ouran High School Host Club.......OMG i love it so much i watched like 10 times
i love it

 

[Terios the Hedgehog]

I just started Pretty Face.

Yeah. Creepy. Pretty good though.

 

[thumbswayup]

Everyone watch Berserk. Then read the manga, it is the greatest thing you will ever read.

Anyone who says The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is bad doesn't deserve to live.

I need to see Ouran High School Host Club. I've wanted to for quite some time now.

 

[Miharu]

I just started Pretty Face.

Yeah. Creepy. Pretty good though.

this was actually the first manga that i read

and interesting read, although the ending was a bit unexpected. Same with Mx0, which is written by the same author.

I hear he's coming out with something new soon (sequel to Pretty Face maybe).

 

[Aesir]

If no ones watched Darker Than Black, do so.

>_>;

There better be a sequel. He left SO much hanging at the end.

Although given he has that mask it'll probably end up like Gacha Gacha 2nd capsule or whatever the hell it was called.

 

[sakuraZaKi]

Sola, anyone?

 

[Miharu]

Then watch the anime again.

yeah that's how Mx0 went out too; abruptly ended at episode 98 :/

 

[Terios the Hedgehog]

I'm going to read Mx0 now. Unless it's not as good as Love Monster which I also just started.

It says 99 chapters....

So mx0 is like Rosario Vampire but with wizards istead of monsters?

 

[Miharu]

k i'm bad it was 99 then

never read/watched Rosario Vampire; worth watching/reading?

 

[Terios the Hedgehog]

k i'm bad it was 99 then

never read/watched Rosario Vampire; worth watching/reading?

I'm not sure. I read a few chapters and kind of stopped. Not cause it was bad I just forgot to start again. I get distracted easily.

I need to get on Mahou Sensei Negima too.....

I have a LOT to catch up on.

 

[tmw_redcell]

If no ones watched Darker Than Black, do so.

>_>;

Darker Than Black is alright, but not super great. But I think it's similar to Cowboy Bebop in a lot of ways and lot of people are always saying "ugh anime sucks so much but Cowboy Bebop was good." But I'm not sure it has the same kind of appeal.

 

[Aesir]

^

I thought it was enjoyable to watch personally and it really leaves things open for a second season though there probably won't be one unfortunatly lol.

I guess it just came down to a matter of preference but I felt Darker Than Black is alot better then a lot of animes being aired now. While it felt like Bebop a bit, it felt fresh.

 

[PRINCESS PEACH777]

I don't like Darker Than Black it's creepy
Naruto and Bleach are starting to get boring i really like them both but when will they air the last episode -_-

 

[Mediocre]

**** double posts.

 

[Mediocre]

Don't expect either of them to end any time soon. The manga that they're based on haven't ended yet, and Shounen Jump tends to milk these things for all they're worth. Naruto and Bleach are still both raking in money, so they're going to go on for quite a while.

Unless, of course, the creator of the series decides it's time to end it, but there's really no way of knowing when that will happen.

If you want to get ahead by reading the manga, you should be able to find them online on www.onemanga.com.



If you're interested in other, similar series, I'd recommend One Piece. Either the original Japanese with subtitles or the English dub by Funimation. One Piece gets a bad rap over here, but I think that's mostly due to the horrible dub it was originally given by 4kids. In Japan, it's the most popular manga series currently running, and one of the volumes is the second best selling book ever in Japan, right after one of the Harry Potter books.

Personally, I love One Piece, and think it's far superior to either Bleach or Naruto. If you're interested in it, you can either check out that manga site I linked you to or hunt around the internet for the episodes. Unfortunately, 4kids hurt the franchise badly enough that Cartoon Network stopped airing it on television.

 

[Aesir]

Kishimoto said Naruto will becoming to an end soon.

How soon who knows. But Bleach? lol thats gonna go on for a long *** time.

 

[PRINCESS PEACH777]

My sister is watching One Piece she loves it but if you guys really like it then i guess i will give it a try.

 

[Mediocre]

Kishimoto said Naruto will becoming to an end soon.

Really? I hadn't heard that, and a quick internet search doesn't find anything.

A link would be nice, if you have one.

Well, I personally think One Piece is amazing. It's fun from the beginning, although it takes a little while to really get up to speed. Once it does, it's incredible.

Between the fights and the humor, it's just unbelievably fun.

 

[Dodongo]

I don't like series that don't know when to end. It discourages me from even bothering with the story.

my bad I think I got my authors mixed up.

Hiromu Arakawa was the one who said she was going to end FMA soon. sorry about that >_<
