delete spoilers

its a really good show tj. since you have death note in your avatar you'd probably really love code geass too. theyre both kinda similar and both really good

I should've just deleted it, but wasted my time to add the spoiler tags.

Making use of them, then.

yeah...there arent any others. i've been looking for years...

darker than black was good, but not nearly on their level. tengen toppa gurren lagann had good action, but not the same level of mind**** plot twists.

TJ speaks the truth; geass was the ****.

raeford or chapel hill depends on the time of year
i'm not an anime aficionado, but I love manga. I enjoy weird manga, though. Stuff like Eyeshield 21, Hajimme no Ippo *holla DAftFlip!* The Naruto Manga is MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCH better than the anime. Promise.

Uh. I like Code Geass' style. But its like Zio said, **** is really slow. I read the Death Note manga. and that's samuel l jackson as l. **** was too legit to pass up.

What do you like stingers? I like manga that actually teaches me stuff. so stuff like Hajimme No Ippo, Eyeshield 21 *the anime sucks* and HolyLand are really good **** for me. I also really like the Air Gear manga, though I heard the Anime Sucks.

Have you seen Fate/Stay Night? Like I said, Try Asura Cryin as well. And if you just want to go WTF. go for Queen's Blade. *I'm joking. . joking*

If Medaka Box had an anime, it would be awesome as hell.

i'll list every anime i've seen:
death note (love)
code geass (love)
melancholy of haruhi suzumiya (...eh)
then a bunch of stuff on adult swim years ago:
evangelion (i enjoyed it)
cowboy bebop (same as evangelion)
fma (same as above two)

and i'm currently watching bleach which is a good show but like not in the same vein as code geass and death note which are just spectacular pieces of fiction

i've never read a manga

i played the fate/stay night game and it was incredible. i was reading it aloud to pp once but he was ignoring me and playing melee in my room with jim :(
i started playing ever17 as well but then my laptop i was playing it on died and I haven't had the will to reinstall it on this piece of **** desktop

If you want a recommendation, I think Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood is good. It's currently being released in japan, so no DUBS yet. You should also look into Neon Genesis Evangelion, as that revolutionized anime (I don't know how, but that's what I was told). Then I also recommend Gundam Wing and it's movie Endless Waltz. There Cowboy Bebop and Outlaw Star that I think is good. Hell, I liked Rurouni Kenshin. Too many to note.

Also, of the big 3, One Piece is the favorite. I haven't looked into it, though.

It's all personal preference. But I think you'd like all that.

EDIT - seems you have cover some of what I mentioned. GOOD ****!

I don't think you read it very loudly then because I don't remember that.

I liked the Melee part though.
it was that thing i put like 60 hours into and wasn't even a third done
if you remember that

...i've seen people talk about the new fma so I guess I might have to give it a go
but i mean...i'm not exactly thrilled about it lol

oh, gundam 00 is similar to geass as far as mechas + governmental concepts + good plot. but i lost interest in the second season, but the first season was interesting.

plot twists werent as epic, and the lack of anything supernatural in the primary characters (like a geass) adds a realistic and vulnerability to the characters that you may either love or not really care about.

screw dubs but

i am soo picky about anime.

my favorites are ghost in the shell: sac and Ouran High school host club

about the shows on adult swim, i dont like the majority of them, prolly cuz dubbed versions are always worse (except in the case of flcl, which was the first anime i ever fell in love with)

i mostly like comedies, romance comedies are good too. about action, i am picky as to whether the focus is on gore or quality of fights and/or mindgames involved

i hardly like any of the anime popular in america right now

i hate naruto and bleach and stuff

i like the oldies like trigun, cowboy bebop, dbz (who doesnt), tenchi muyo, among others

i havent watched death note, but i guess i should

i also like some random anime like case closed, big o (debatable), blue gender, and (stfu) sailor moon. most of these are just nostalgic, but they are good quality.

the things i like about most of the above are the philosophical questions they pose, the attention to detail in the animation, the quality of the voice actors and the attention payed to voice selection, depth of plot, music, the power of emotions evoked, mild to no fanservice, and the quality ******es

i feel like when directors put in too much fanservice, they are effectively whoring out their characters. I liked elf ban kakyuusei, so i watched kakyuusei 2. both series were ok, but i dismissed them from catalog of anime once i looked more into the series...lets just say, the directors sold out and mindgamed the **** out of me.

if you liked ouran host club (watching that with my gf), you will love honey and clover. i've found them similar, but i think honey and clover is better. real ****. its my favorite anime. the music is inspiring; the piano music i play tries to mimic its quality.

Honey and Clover all day.

hmm u could be right.

but i HIGHLY doubt anything could come remotely close to how much i loved ouran. i love pretty much everything about it and i could watch each episode many times over again.

upon wikiing honey and clover, it looks like its more aimed at girls, but then again thats not a real qualifier of how good an anime is.

I also think it would be hard to match how hilarious ouran was.

but this isnt me knowcking ur show; its me trying to show just how much ouran is the most amazing anime ever ever created!!!!!

GITS is really good too ^.^

HOWEVER i am definitely not an anime afficianado
i havent seen nearly enough series to call myself one...
not that i would really want to tho

edit: @ mike g: relevance please; stay on topic, i dont want this closed

lmao @ Theo

@Mike G: ****.

@Anime watchers: Samurai Champloo is a gooooddd *** anime. IMO.

Code Geass... i mean, the animation style just kinda got to me at times. and some of the stuff in it i really just have a hard time not laughing my *** off at how i would parody it in my head. but i understand with the correct mindset that it's a good *** ****ing story, and is very rounded.

Death Note... i mean... ****. entertainment to the max. really couldn't stop watching it. CG had a similar effect. basically you're giddy bored wide-eyed ***** stingers.

FMA is cool

i need to see Cowboy Bebop.

Naruto anime has like 4% good episodes. The manga is extremely nice to look at, and is entertaining to follow, but can leave you unsatisfied with some of Kishimoto's decisions... at least that's the way i feel.

Bleach anime... idk i just ****ing hate fillers so much. the manga is overrated. generally Bleach is overrated. according to TJ i should be reading the manga right now though... the last chapter i read was like 4 months ago.

wow i completely forgot. DB/Z are two ****ing amazing series... god**** that's like.... the best show of all time. dubbed of course, the japanese voice for Goku is ****ing ********.

also, Theo (and kinda anyone, really), download the Samurai Champloo soundtrack(s). for the most part they are amazing instrumentals by ****ing good artists.

@crystal: ouran is probably funnier, Honey and Clover is more realistic/thought provoking. In the end, often times, i value thought over comedy, but both are great in my book.

BEHR we need to play some time. it'll just be a while before im in the city on the weekend lol. (too many tournaments lol).

Yeah, there are a lot of Higurashi-related things that are referenced and implied of in Umineko no naku koro ni.

You'll see Rika on episode 6 of Umineko or something and they have alternate storylines (with lots of gory deaths and psychosis)

Hey, I don't watch yaoi or yuri or hentai. I don't rock my jollies with that stuff, but someone else might...
